Introduction to Cesidian law
As we stated before, Cesidianism is not
fundamentally different from either Christianity or
Buddhism, and in fact the religious-philosophy contains
elements of both religions.
This was not a deliberate attempt at religious syncretism
either. The new religion honours both the Christ and the
Buddha, since it believes that these two historical
figures were the same
soul in two different places and times, and
treasures the ideas that both Jesus of Nazareth (1) and
Siddhartha Gautama brought to the world.
However, Cesidianism also shares characteristics with
other religions. Cesidians have 14 Cesidian Commandments,
while the Jews (and Christians) revere only the 10 Mosaic
Commandments. Cesidian law only describes the legal
dimension of Cesidianism, and yet it is as comprehensive
already as any field of law.
The 14 Commandments and
theological implications
In Mosaic law there are Ten Commandments. In Cesidian law
there are fourteen. These follow below.
Bathetic Commandments
- You shall not deny a God a universal currency.
- You shall not deny a God a demurrage-bearing account in
such currency.
- You shall not deny a God good food for nourishment and
health.
- You shall not deny a God of His/Her possessions.
- You shall not deny a God access to clean drinking water.
- You shall not deny a God access to the energy used to
power the tools or technology He/She needs to be
productive.
- You shall not deny a God access to environmentally sound
tools and technology that He/She needs to be productive.
- You shall not deny a God the truth.
- You shall not deny a God the knowledge He/She needs to
be productive.
- You shall not deny a God the right to exercise His/Her
beliefs.
Fundamental Commandments
- You shall not deprive a God of His/Her right to privacy.
- You shall not deprive a Family of Gods of their right to
life.
- You shall not deprive the Kingdom of God of its right to
sovereignty.
Ultimate Commandment
- You shall love your God with all your heart, and all
your mind.
Originally Commandment A was worded in the following way: "You
shall not deny a God a universal currency backed with real,
tangible assets." Recent discoveries in a new field called
Analytic Theology have shown that an asset-backed currency is
not only unnecessary, but may actually be less than ideal.
Paradisaical currencies are non backed currencies, but fiat
currencies. This has brought about an amendment in this
Commandment to its present form.
Commandment B was also worded in a different way: "You shall
not deny a God an interest-bearing account in such currency."
Recent discoveries in a new field called Analytic Theology
have shown that an interest-bearing bank account is not only
unnecessary, but may actually be less than ideal. Paradisaical
currencies are not interest-bearing currencies, but
demurrage-bearing currencies. This has brought about an
amendment in this Commandment to its present form.
Mikhail Gorbachev, Chairman of the Board of Green Cross
International, says that "Water is not a privilege, it is a
right!" With these words Mr Gorbachev has shown that he shares
some of the same values of Cesidians, especially with concern
to Commandment E of the 14 Cesidian Commandments, which
forbids the denial of water to any God. However, Muslims also
view water as a right, and water plays such an essential role
in religious observance, that one could go so far as to say
that without water, the daily practice of Islam would be
virtually impossible (Bouguerra).
If we ignore for a moment the reason why Cesidians seem to use
the word God in place of the words 'human being', one issue
should come to mind when seeing the 14 Commandments for the
first time, accompanied by any notes:
not even the 14 Commandments are
etched in stone! Even these can be modified or
abridged in time! While there are certain absolutes, for a
Cesidian most truths are relative, and under the best
circumstances, the best approximation of truth. As we said
before, this is a feature Cesidianism shares with science,
more than with religion, especially with theoretical or
non-experimental science.
The 14 Commandments perhaps give the impression that Cesidians
are
polytheistic,
but this is only a superficial impression in reality.
Monotheism is the
idea that one — and only one — personal 'third party entity'
deity exists.
Polytheism
is the idea that many personal 'third party entity' deities
exist.
Pantheism is
the idea of equating deity with the universe (or everything is
God).
To get even more sophisticated, there is also such a concept
as
panentheism, and
that is the idea that deity contains the universe, but the
universe does not contain divinity. In other words, 'God is
everything... and then some.'
The God of Spinoza and of Einstein was a
pantheistic god. Gnostic
cosmologies, on the other hand, point to an explicitly
panentheist view
(Stratford, 2006).
What is missing from the vocabulary is a Cesidian's definition
of God, one who is not one with the universe, or to whom the
universe is only a subset, but a God that is, in fact,
a subset of the universe
just like you and I, an anthropomorphic God. Perhaps I should
coin the word
merodepantheism
(from the Greek words
mer(o)
+
de +
pan +
the(o) +
ism, or 'part-of-all God
doctrine'), to best describe this kind of God.

mer·o·de·pan·the·ism
-noun
1. the doctrine that God is a part or a subset of the
universe; a finite, as opposed to an infinite God.
2. an anthropomorphic God.

In essence a Cesidian is a
theist
(one who believes that Gods exist and interact with the
universe), a
monolater
(from
monolatry, the
belief that there may be more than one deity, but only one
should be worshipped), and a
merodepantheist.
Strictly speaking, being that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob was a complex God, one whom we are told in scripture
could not be seen by the living, and yet presented himself
plainly before Abraham in human form, a Cesidian's God is not
a different God because it too is:
- A God which has a limited bodily and/or human-like form
(a merodepantheistic
God);
- A God which suggests that we should not worship any
other god (monolatry
is implied here, not monotheism,
since God himself implies that there are other gods, and
yet only one should be worshipped, as the 10 Mosaic
Commandments plainly state);
- A God which may be subject to the laws of the universe,
like man, and who may even be subject to the 14
Commandments, like man (a theistic God, rather than a deistic one).
The fact that both the God that made man and men are called
'Gods' in the 14 Cesidian Commandments does not imply
polytheism per se (in
polytheism all Gods are
equal, as all men are equal in
humanism), nor does it imply that
monolatry is a sin. The
first or second Mosaic Commandment (Myers, 1999) in fact
implies
monolatry,
not
monotheism (the
belief that one — and only one — God exists), as the correct
view of God. Even the Cesidian Commandment N, and the words of
Jesus in the Gospel, imply absolute
monolatry, but not absolute
monotheism. So the view
that the 14 Commandments imply Cesidians are
polytheistic is both
superficial and false. In truth, Cesidians are absolute
monolaters, but not
absolute
monotheists.
There are other gods, as even the God of Moses suggested; you
simply should worship only one, and not other gods — which may
have had nothing to do with the creation of man, and are thus
unworthy of worship.
The first ten of the Cesidian Commandments are called
'Bathetic', and are derived from 8 elements. The next three
Commandments are called 'Fundamental', and are derived from 3
elements. Finally, the last Commandment is called 'Ultimate',
or 'The Greatest', and is derived from a single element.
Altogether then there are 14 Commandaments, and these are
derived from 12 elements, corresponding to the 12 rights
ensured under Cesidian law.
'Bathetic' Rights and Freedoms
The word 'Bathetic' is an acronym for the following elements:
bank,
agro,
terra,
hydro,
electro,
techno,
info, and
credo. These are the 8
elements that are central to all life, since the elements
attempt to cover everything that is necessary for basic
survival in the modern world. Bathetic elements are thus basic
elements. And Bathetic rights and freedoms are based on these
necessary elements.

Fundamental Rights
Thomas Jefferson claimed that there were three basic rights:
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. What he probably
wanted to say, before someone made sure that the 13 Colonies
had the 'right' to expropriate someone's property (a violation
of Mosaic and Cesidian law), was that there were three basic
rights, and these were Life, Liberty, and Property.
Actually Jefferson was in part right! He had concluded that
civilised life depended greatly on the most fundamental right
of a Family (Life), and a Nation (Liberty or Sovereignty), but
totally ignored the most fundamental right of an Individual
(Privacy).
Fundamental Elements are complex elements, since these
elements are actually based on a combination of one or more
Bathetic Elements. Fundamental Elements are necessary to
ensure the trinity based on the most fundamental right of the
Individual, the Family, and of the nation or State.

The Ultimate Right
Jesus of Nazareth claimed that the sum of all of the Mosaic
law was Love. When one carefully examines the matter in light
of all that was discussed so far, we realise that Jesus was
right!
Love, especially Unconditional Love, is not possible unless
you ensure all Bathetic and Fundamental Elements, the basis
for the whole of Cesidian law. The Ultimate Right is thus not
the right of an Individual, of a Family, or even of a Nation,
since you must go even higher than that to ensure this right.
It is a Divine Right, a highly exalted right.
The Ultimate Element is an integral or holistic element. When
we truly ensure this element, we in fact ensure all the
Cesidian elements. And when we truly ensure the right which is
a derivative of this element, we in fact ensure all the
Cesidian rights.

'Bathetic' and Fundamental Elements |
Law and the Human Brain
Roman law (
jus sanguinis/jus
soli) is as primitive and as necessary as the
cerebellum is to the brain. The cerebellum is involved in the
control of movement, thus an area immediately involved with
the right of the territory.
American law (
jus via
naturalisation) expanded Roman law a little, just as
the functions of the Wernicke's area of the brain expanded the
capacity of the brain. The Wernicke's area is involved with
language comprehension and speech, thus an area related with
the right of naturalization.
Cesidian law (
jus cerebri
electronici/jus cerebri humani/jus humanae salutis)
represents the final stage of evolution of the brain, just as
the orbitofrontal cortex represents the ultimate brain part.
The orbitofrontal cortex is involved in cognitive processes
such as decision making, thus an area related with the 'right
of the server' — guess who makes decisions for servers, and
can even shape the Internet environment itself?
Roman law is still alive today even in America in its
jus soli and
jus sanguinis aspects.
Jus soli is Latin for
'Right of the Territory'. This means that citizenship is
determined even in America by the place of your birth.
Actually, in America this aspect of Roman law is even stronger
than it is in Europe, where
jus
sanguinis tends to dominate.
Jus sanguinis,
another aspect of Roman law, is Latin for 'Right of Blood'.
This means that citizenship is determined even in America by a
parent's citizenship. As the Wikipedia states, "Many nations
have a mixture of jus sanguinis and jus soli, including the
United States, Canada, Israel, Germany (as of recently),
Greece, Ireland, and others." (Jus sanguinis, 2007)
As by Roman law we don't mean Roman law in its entirety, by
American law we also don't mean American law in its entirety.
The part of American law we are mentioning is what we've
coined jus via naturalisation, which is Interlingua, and not
Latin for 'Right by way of Naturalization'. This part of
American law is based on the very American Fourteenth
Amendment of the US Constitution, which determines citizenship
not just by birthplace (
jus
soli), not just by parental citizenship (
jus sanguinis), but also
by naturalization (
jus via
naturalisation). The Fourteenth Amendment is
unequivocal to the fact that citizenship is not determined by
birth conditions alone in America, since it states:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United
States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are
citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they
reside."
There are also problems with the Fourteenth Amendment,
problems with the word 'person', as this word does not refer
solely to natural persons. This issue also generated human
rights problems later on in American legal history, because
the commingling of the person entity that was started in the
Fourteenth Amendment eventually became the basis for legalized
human rights abuses later. The Fourteenth Amendment is also
problematic since from a Judeo-Christian point-of-view it
violates, at least indirectly, the principle of separation of
church and state, and this principle, which was fundamental to
America's Founding Fathers, is violated in a way that is not
progressive but regressive. We will not discuss these issues
in detail here, since they are rather complex, but we will
simply point to the fact that the Fourteenth Amendment is an
imperfect instrument of law, as imperfect as Analytic theology
in fact predicts it to be.
As by American law we don't mean American law in its entirety,
by Cesidian law we also don't mean Cesidian law in its
entirety. The part of Cesidian law we mention is what we have
coined
jus cerebri
electronici, which is Latin for 'Right of the
Server'. This part of Cesidian law is applicable also in
America if we follow the very properties which the Domain Name
System (DNS) and the Internet is based on.
Jus cerebri electronici
states that the jurisdiction under which a server or client
falls is not really determined by the territory on which the
server lies, or even the territory on which it was built, but
it is based on the hypercitizenship or citizenship of the
owner of the server or client. In other words, you and only
you determine the citizenship of your server or client.
There is also another aspect of law missing, one which
Analytic theology actually predicts and synthesises
wonderfully. However, this aspect doesn't determine a person's
citizenship (national membership) but a person's fellowship
(church membership).
While American law (
jus via
naturalisation) rests pretty much on the Fourteenth
Amendment, the foundation for Canon law (
jus baptisimalis) can be
found in Book I, Title VI, Chapter I, Canon 96 of the Catholic
Church's Code of Canon law:
"By baptism one is incorporated into the Church of
Christ and is constituted a person in it with the duties and
rights which are proper to Christians in keeping with their
condition, insofar as they are in ecclesiastical communion
and unless a legitimately issued sanction stands in the
way."
For a Catholic, baptism is such a powerful rite and a
religious sacrament, that even the excommunicated person does
not cease to be a Christian, since his baptism can never be
effaced. This is thus an area heavily involved with the Rite
(Right) of Baptism (
jus
baptisimalis).
In other Christian denominations membership is also often
based on baptism, and other religions have their specific
rites. In Judaism the situation is complex, since Judaism
shares some of the characteristics of an ethnicity and a
religion. In the majority of cases one is a Jew simply because
he/she is the child of a Jew, thus
jus sanguinis applies. In the rarer cases of
conversion, however, while there is the circumcision
requirement for men, one becomes a Jew regardless of sex by
immersion or
t'vilah
in a
mikveh or
ritual bath, so even in this case
jus baptisimalis applies.
Roman law (
jus sanguinis/jus
soli) therefore allowed basic navigation on earth
(like the cerebellum does in the brain). American law (
jus via naturalisation)
allowed language comprehension, even foreign language speech
(like the Wernicke's area of the brain). However, Cesidian law
(
jus cerebri electronici/jus
cerebri humani/jus humanae salutis) is the only part
of the law involved with deliberate decision making
(self-determination) — not just in deciding right from wrong,
although that plays a strong role as well, but also in
deciding Heaven from Hell (as the orbitofrontal cortex does in
the brain). In Hell we are still very instinctive, very Roman
law-like; Heaven, on the other hand, is deliberate, Godlike,
very Cesidian law-like.
The holistic picture of citizenship is completed not with an
additional kind of national citizenship (right), but with a
church fellowship (rite). The very advanced Cesidian canon
law, which also works through
jus baptisimalis (rarely are Cesidians
baptised
ex novo,
since any previous Christian baptism is perfectly sufficient
and accepted), allows for perfect legal and moral integration
(as the brain's corpus callosum allows for integration of both
hemispheres of the brain), and this occurs by following the 14
Commandments which are, in effect, the Fifth World's
equivalent of English common law.
Jus
cerebri electronici
Jus cerebri electronici
(Latin for 'Right of the Server') states that the jurisdiction
under which a server or client falls is not determined by the
territory on which the server lies, or even the territory on
which it was built, but by the hypercitizenship or citizenship
of the owner of the server or client.
Jus cerebri electronici
states that the owner of the server or client exercises higher
title and jurisdiction because Roman law (
jus sanguinis/jus soli)
doesn't apply at all to the Internet, but rather Cesidian law
(
jus cerebri electronici).
Any territorial nation's claim to the Internet based on the
location of a server or client is in fact illegitimate.
The rationale of
jus
cerebri electronici is actually based on
international law. According to the Montevideo Convention
Article 1, a state is such only if it has a territory.
Non-territorial or virtual states are not true states under
this Convention. Since non-territorial states are not true
states according to international law, it follows that they
are not proper jurisdictions either, the area to which the
executive or legislative powers or laws of a government
extend. Therefore computers, servers, and computer networks
like the Internet are not legal jurisdictions on which the
powers of the state, including powers of regulation and
taxation, can legally apply. This idea has a parallel in the
Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution which is
also about separation of powers, and states: "The powers not
delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States
respectively, or to the people." In essence, this thinking is
as follows: the powers not delegated to territorial states by
the Montevideo Convention, nor prohibited by the Montevideo
Convention to other jurisdictions, are reserved to other
jurisdictions, or to the people. Since the Law of nations, and
any special rights associated with the Law of nations, applies
only to independent countries, which are territorial by their
very nature, their jurisdiction does not extend to the
Internet. But since even a country's sub-jurisdictions are
also territorial in nature, their jurisdiction does not extend
to the Internet either. Thus the jurisdiction of the Internet
can only extend to the people.
Roman law (
jus sanguinis/jus
soli) in essence, which is also the basis of
international law, does not apply to the Internet. If the
Internet works, therefore, it is because a Higher Law is in
effect, not matter (
jus soli)
over mind (
jus cerebri
electronici), but rather mind (
jus cerebri electronici)
over matter (
jus soli).
Not only does the jurisdiction of a territorial state not
extend to the Internet, but over the Internet higher title is
in fact exercised by the owner/programmer of the server or
client, and thus the jurisdiction is that of the human mind,
and whatever jurisdiction the human mind can comprehend,
recognise, or understand, free from duress of any kind.
Jus cerebri electronici
or the right of the server implies that servers or clients are
sovereign entities in their own right by virtue of the human
minds that program and control them, and territorial
governments — governed by the right of the territory or
jus soli — have no right
to exercise power over them anymore than non-territorial
states (e.g. micronations or Fifth World nations) can exercise
power over land.
Jus cerebri electronici shows what has been known for a long
time by Western civilisation: the province of the territorial
state is territory, and territory alone. States have no
jurisdiction over the human mind, or over extensions of the
human mind, such as computers and networks.
Jus
cerebri humani
On 12 November 2007, thinking about
jus cerebri electronici and micronational
rights prompted an intellectual extension of Cesidian law
through the development of the legal concept called
jus cerebri humani.
Jus cerebri humani (Latin for 'Right of the Human Brain')
states that if the jurisdiction under which a server or client
falls is not determined by the territory on which the server
lies, but by the hypercitizenship or citizenship of the owner
of the server or client, this means that the owner and
controller of the
jus
cerebri electronici sovereign jurisdiction also has
effective ownership of his own thoughts, and the
legal jurisdiction those
thoughts can create.
This idea may seem similar to international copyright,
trademark, and patent conventions, but
jus cerebri humani is
very different, because international intellectual property
conventions only grant limited rights (rights for a limited
time), or in effect intellectual privileges, while even the
words
jus cerebri humani
alone imply a full right, and not a mere privilege. This idea
is also different from international copyright, trademark, and
patent conventions because it even applies to territorial
nations without states.
The rationale of
jus
cerebri humani is actually based on international
law. According to the Montevideo Convention Article 3, the
political existence of the state is independent of recognition
by the other states. In other words, the political existence
of your unrecognised state is perfectly legitimate even prior
to international recognition. Even before recognition, any
unrecognised state has the right to defend its integrity and
independence. Nations without states, in other words, do own
the copyrights or intellectual rights associated with their
nation's territorial claims! According to the Montevideo
Convention Article 3 in fact, the exercise of these rights has
no other limitation other than the exercise of the rights of
other states.
The practical consequence of this right is that any violation
of
Micronational Professional
Registry's Print Monopolies, Enterprise Names,
Enterprise Marks, and Patents is, in effect, a kind of
violation of Cesidian law, although it is not a violation of
jus cerebri electronici
('Right of the Electronic Brain' in literal Latin), but rather
of the
jus cerebri humani
('Right of the Human Brain'). Violations of
jus cerebri humani are in
fact greater violations than violations of
jus cerebri electronici,
because with the former the violation is direct on the human
being's intellectual rights, while with the latter the
violation is indirect.
Another practical consequence is that through
jus cerebri humani
Cesidian law doesn't apply solely to virtual micronations,
which are Fifth and Sixth World nations, but also to
territorial macronations and micronations, which are Fourth
and Fifth World nations. In other words, Cesidian law applies
to both territorial and virtual nations, to macronations and
micronations.
Jus
humanae salutis
Just as violations of
jus
cerebri humani are greater than violations of
jus cerebri electronici,
violations of any of the health common laws that exist to
preserve human life, free from duress or restrictions of any
kind, are also greater than violations of
jus cerebri humani. In
other words, if
jus humanae
salutis (Latin for 'Right of Human Health [or
Salvation]') is invalid, then all lesser rights — such as
jus cerebri humani,
jus cerebri electronici,
and Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention respectively — are
even more invalid. However, since it is not possible for any
right to be more invalid than another, the internationally
accepted Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention in particular,
then
jus humanae salutis
is a valid right, and in fact it is a superior right to
jus cerebri humani, which
is superior to
jus cerebri
electronici, which is superior to Article 1 of the
Montevideo Convention.
The practical consequence of this right is that any violation
of the Herbalists' Charter (5) accepted by the
Fifth World Health Organisation
is, in effect, a kind of violation of Cesidian law, and in
fact it is the highest known violation of Cesidian law! The
Herbalists' Charter is still common law in 18 states of the
eastern United States to this date, since it was never
repealed in the original 13 colonies, but it is also common
law in Canada, in the state of Nevada, and may be still common
law throughout much of the British Commonwealth.
To a degree, the Herbalists' Charter, which protects
herbalists and all natural health practitioners from arbitrary
prosecution, is still in force throughout the United States
through the Ninth Amendment of the US Constitution, which
states that, "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain
rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others
retained by the people." Under the Ninth Amendment one may
claim the right to offer services and the right of others to
obtain the same. However, through the Fifth World Health
Organisation the Herbalists' Charter became common law
throughout the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Worlds.
Moreover, the rationale of
jus
humanae
salutis is actually based on international law, and
doesn't apply solely to the United States, Canada, much of the
British Commonwealth, and to the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth
Worlds, since it also applies to contracting states of the
Montevideo Convention, and may in fact apply
universally. According to
the Montevideo Convention Article 11, contracting states
establish as a rule the obligation not to recognise
territorial acquisitions or special advantages which have been
obtained by force, or by any other effective coercive measure.
In other words, you shall not deprive any state of its
territory. However, if the territory of each state is
sacrosanct, and is usually viewed that way by
any state, because the
properties of individual citizens are sacrosanct (right to
private property), what more personal and intimate property
does any citizen have than his own body?
The violation of
jus
humanae salutis, the violation of any of the health
common laws that exist to preserve human life, are no less
violations than a violation of the Article 11 of the
Montevideo Convention. In addition, the Latin words behind
jus humanae salutis not
only imply a right to human health, but also a
right to human salvation,
which is more a matter of the
human soul than one of the
human body.
So another practical consequence is that through
jus humanae salutis
Cesidian law doesn't apply solely to human health, but also to
spiritual or religious matters.
Cesidian law through the three legal concepts of
jus cerebri electronici,
jus cerebri humani,
and
jus humanae salutis,
effectively covers both territorial and virtual nations,
macronations and micronations, intellectual property rights
and regular property rights, the right to a healthy life, and
even the right to spiritual salvation.
Cesidian law deals with the entire human paradigm, and thus it
may be viewed as
the world's
first form of holistic law. It deals with the right
to property — intellectual and territorial property; the right
to inherit property — genetic and territorial property; the
right to emigration and naturalisation; the right to
self-determination, autonomy, and independence; as well as the
right to physical and spiritual health, i.e. freedom to heal
oneself through natural and holistic health means, and to heal
one's soul through religious study and practice.

- The Herbalists'
Charter was granted by King Henry VIII in 1512.
This codified English statute became part of what is still

gave the field of naturopathy recognition and legality,
and protected natural health practitioners from the
harassment, still going on to this day, by those in the
medical profession.
The Herbalists' Charter read
in part: "In consideration whereof, and for the Ease,
Comfort, Succour, Help, Relief, and Health of the King's
