One of the hallmarks of freedom is an inexhaustible search for the truth.
"Know the truth and the truth shall set you free."
In the beginning was the "Word," or sound vibration, and MAN (male/female) became living beings,
In the beginning was the "Call," or sound vibration, and the people marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge and the right-to-vote became the law of the land.
Reverend James L. Bevel
Calling For A March From
Marion to Montgomery, AL Later to Become A March From Selma to Montgomery, AL
Most people start there understanding of the Right-To-Vote Movement with the visual picture of people crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, AL. The movement for the right to vote was a series of events that took place over many years. Many people were involved. The successful execution of a movement to secure the right to vote was implemented by the strategic mind of Reverend James Luther Bevel.
The "Call" for a march from Selma, AL to Montgomery, AL was made on February 28, 1965, in Zion United Methodist Church in Marion, AL. Do you know what precepitated that call and why it was made?
James Luther Bevel, born October 19, 1936, in Ittabena, Mississippi to Illie and Denise Bevel. James Bevel's contribution to the removal of the impediments to freedom is monumental in its scope. His contributions have been largely overlooked by the public as he choose to remain in the background and push others towards the limelight.
1. Were you in Zion United Methodist Church on February 28, 1965?
2. Were you in Marion, AL on February 28, 1965?
3. Were you in Alabama on February 28, 1965?
The visual is the after effect of a thought and a sound. Truth resonates through all of the senses. The sense of sound projection, hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, touch, thinking and feeling, are all of the senses activated in the search for truth.
What is truth? Truth is the right knowledge of reality.
Can the truth be known? All truth carries proof.
What value is there in knowing the truth? Truth has the ability to free us from ignorance. Ignorance and the illness it creates are the only evils in the world. Ignorance is not knowing. It is what you don't know that hurts you. Think about it. So truth frees you from making error.
How can the truth about the "Call" and the "Caller" be of value to anyone?
The "Caller" set things into motion. The bridge and the march didn't just happen. There were precusors to these events and knowing this allows you to see the big picture. The "Caller" spoke the living word and things happened that changed history. The march across the bridge didn't change history, nor did the march from Selma to Montgomery. It was the totality of the events that preceded the bridge and the march that made things happen as they did. If you leave any element of this out then you miss the big picture and thus you will not have the truth.
Weren't other people involved and do we need to know everyone who did something? There were many people involved, however their was a principle that was deliberately doing something. There were support people. There were people who were sucked into the actions. There were people who were reacting to the principled person and the actions. There was the spokesperson who let everyone around the world know what was being done. There were those who stayed at home and prayed for those in the field. Many people came together to make the right-to-vote happen. Understanding as many aspects of the people and events that shaped the attaining of the right-to-vote, will give you a greater ability to model the event if necessary, however the most important person is the producer of the event.
The history of the right-to-vote movement and the achievement of The Voting Rights Act of 1965, begins with the producer, the principle, the director, the initiator, and that person was Reverend James Luther Bevel.
In acknowledging Reverend James L. Bevel, for his work, we honor God, who chose him as a vessel through which to bring change that was uplifting, healing, re-vitalizing, and enlivening to a distrught people. Being grateful to Bevel, is saying thanks to God.
The "Call" for the March From Selma To Montgomery was made on February 28, 1965, during the first memorial service for Jimmie Lee Jackson. Reverend James L. Bevel in his sermon spoke about the need to take Jackson's body to the capitol to lay at the feet of the governor. He said he needed time to think about this so he would march from Selma to Montgomery.
The response was the historic march on March 7, 1965.
1936 - 2008
Those who understand the positive use of speech become the healers of man; they sympathize with the troubles of their fellow human beings; they seek out ways in which they can be of service. They know that whatever they do to others, they do to themselves. They attract sympathy and love, because their speech has been directed at bringing people up.
The Rootlight Team
Born October 19, 1936, in Ittabena, Mississippi to Illie and Denise Bevel. James Bevel's contribution to the removal of the impediments to freedom is monumental in its scope. His contributions have been largely overlooked by the public as he choose to remain in the background and push others towards the limelight.
This allowed him to effectively initiate movements, organize local people, strategize nonviolent actions, educate those who would participate in various movements and advise other leaders.
James Bevel is the "Who" as it relates to the Selma Right-To-Vote Movement. It was Bevel and his former wife Diane Nash that wrote the historic Alabama Project that became the Right-To-Vote Movement in Selma, AL. For this they received the highest award from SCLC and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the coveted Rosa Parks Award.
The Alabama Project was initally rejected by King and other leaders. In spite of this Bevel forged ahead and moved his staff to Selma and began laying the groundwork to obtain the right to vote so that little girls would not die in church bombings and the people would have a means of protection under the law. At a midway point when violence threatened to impede the nonviolent movement as a result of the brutal murder of Jimmie Lee Jackson by a state trooper, Bevel called for a march from Selma to Montgomery, AL to divert the rage in the masses and to go talk to the governor.
Other leaders drew straws to determine who would lead the historic march across the bridge and John Lewis won. It is this march across the bridge that is affixed in the minds of the masses because of the violent onslaught of the people crossing the bridge for the first time.
The "Call" and "Response" made on February 28, 1965, at Zion United Methodist Church in Marion, AL at the first memorial service for Jimmie Lee Jackson is not recognized as a historical fact of importance. And yet without it, there would have been no march from Selma to Montgomery and no Right-To-Vote Act.
It is of the utmost importance that people understand how nonviolent movements begin, are mantained and how strategies are formulated. This is relevant information for future generations who might find themselves in similar situations. The truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth is sufficient to free mankind from the superstitions, lies, false beliefs, erroneous errors, heresay, false teachings, overlooked facts, propaganda, historical blunders, media manipulations and self seeking that so often disguishes itself as truth. Truth crushed to the ground will ever rise to the top. Know the truth and it alone will set you free.

"A flawed diamond is more valueable than a perfect brick."
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doeth he meditate day and night.
Psalm 1
The fight for freedom, is the story of all civilizations and people. Other than the histories of sciences, industries and business development, the primary history of mankind evolves around the fight for freedom.
In most cases, those who fought for freedom instituted exactly what they were fighting against. That is to say, a political, educational, economic, military system that violates the ecology, the people, and compromised the integrity of those who are authorities of the new system. Apparently, those who fight for freedom never quite understand exactly what freedom is, or they never really study to know the source of tyranny and oppression.
Freedom is lost by an individual to the exact degree that the person compromises or contradicts the definition and purpose of their being. Tyranny and oppression emerge to the degree to which two or more compromised and contradictory people attempt to relate. When any individual refuses to honor their definition and purpose and refuse to honor the definition and purpose of another person, instantaneously, that person becomes a liar, and no liar can comprehend constitutionality.
Constitutionality is the sum total of all law that sustains man in a state of integrity, and allows man (individually and collectively) to attain to definition and purpose. With the loss of constitutionality, an individual becomes an animated personality without the ability to comprehend their own or anyone else's health, interest, rights and needs. The lying individual (void of definition and purpose) is thus the source of tyranny and oppression.
In a tyrannical relationship, the person with superior physical and material strength is perceived by most to be the source of the tyranny. This however is not necessarily true, because tyranny is only possible when two or more people disrespect their own definition and purpose and the definition and purpose of each other and consummate a relationship.
Given this reality, no person can be oppressed by another, because no one can force another to enter a dishonest relationship. Entering into a dishonest relationship is a voluntary act that stems from a lack of self-respect. We oftentimes offer compassion to people who are victims of their own tyranny and should help them overcome the tragic circumstances in which they find themselves, however we should never become sympathetic towards one person in a tyrannical relationship and angry towards the other just because one is male or female, rich or poor, old or young, black or white. We must be conscious of the fact that both are void of constitutionality, and both need help in overcoming the lie which comes about when they refuse to honor their own definition and purpose and that of others.
When you become responsible enough to help people who are bound by tyrannical relationships to dissolve them, and then help them to develop constitutional relationships, you will indeed be a freedom fighter. In the world of man, that which is not science is of no value. What is often referred to as science is really mechanical magic. Mechanical magic is a concept used by tyrants to manipulate matter and weak people into tyrannical relationships. If any person is to be free, that freedom must be the result of the knowledge and application of the science of nonviolence.
Very little is done for freedom, for freedom must always begin with a person getting rid of the lie that fosters their personality. Once the lies that foster personality are resolved, then the individual can understand their own health, interest, rights and needs and that of others. The person can then see how to fulfill their and others health, interest, right and needs, individually and collectively, without compromising their integrity or violating others. Void of the science of nonviolence and self-government, no person or nation can have peace, health, freedom or natural wealth.
James L. Bevel
RACISM
Racism is one of the most pressing issues in the world today. Although, every nationality in American has been through some form of racism, we still seem incapable of understanding the damage it can and does do. Racism is a phenomenon that has been going on since Biblical times. One race or group of people believing that they are better than another. Any one with common sense can see that we are all humans and that color doesnt make us who we are. Our bodies are just vehicles for our minds and our spirit. When we set stereotypes based on color or other physical attributes, we only limit our self. It is a blessing when a person can be racist, see their error and correct themselves. When this happens their mind can expand to greater heights and they can mature. It is a shame that children are being raised in a society where racism still exists after so many years of war and pain. Racism stops harmony and joy, and as long as it exist in the world, we can never have peace.
Racism is the belief that God created more than one race. God created Man (male and female).
James Luther Bevel
"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and lost it, have never known it again."
Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan
MAN AS GOVERNMENT
In order to intelligently participate in your ward, city, county, state, nation or United Nations, you must responsibly participate constitutionally in your precinct. Paying taxes and casting ballots are empty irresponsible acts if these are to the exclusion of precinct responsibility and accountability. The voter and tax payer cannot hold an elected official accountable if they dont have the knowledge and means to hold themselves accountable.
Freedom is not a gift that can be given by another, nor is it something that can be won by murder or war. Freedom is a gift to those who have the faith to accept their definition and purpose as man (male/female) and the courage to face the lies and perversities that developed in the self as a result of having denied their true definition and purpose.
The precinct council is made up of the people in the precinct who come together to take responsibility for Gods definition and purpose for man, and to address the health, interest, rights and needs of themselves and each other in democratically run institutions and communities. The precinct council will have six major institutions and communities. The precinct council will have six major committees and as many subcommittees as is necessary to address all of the questions, issues, problems and needs of the people in the precinct.
The primary purpose of the precinct council is to create a sane, peaceful, and knowledgeable populace in the precinct. The policy of the precinct is to be set by the general body, and the polices will be experimented with, in the appropriate community institutions (Worship center, government, business, clinic, home and school). Because of the nature of problems in the inner cities and because of the devastating effect historical and present day tyranny has had on each of our development, it is recommended that people who vote to constitute a precinct council enroll in a Nonviolent Clinic.
The precinct council is mans expression of love for God, self and fellow man. For if we love God, we will seek to know and do the will of God, and we will seek to carry out the purpose for which we were created. If we love our children and neighbors, then truly we must create order and contexts so that constructive work and cooperation can go on. The tyrannical forces are always competing with each other for military dominance over each other and people, however, we are called to serve God and the health, interests, rights and needs of all, and we must not get involved in supporting tyranny in any form.
As we build our precinct councils, the clearer it will become to all tyrants of the futility of this misguided misconduct, for as it is written, When the perfect is come, the imperfect will pass away. We need not fight the imperfect, we need to manifest the perfect.
PRECINCT COUNCIL THE NEW FRONTIER
It is in fact truth that sets people free, and any lie not detected, error not corrected and any liar not suspected are the enemies of truth, freedom and justice. When a person is asked how many branches of government do we have, will respond three, which is the patented lie. This is the lie that has kept the American people enslaved to tyrants for two hundred years, victims of chattel slavery, disenfranchisement, racial segregation, wage slavery and discrimination. These irrational practices are possible and new and even worse social abuses will manifest as long as the people believe that there are only three branches of government. Because of the nature of man and because of the reality of nature, a just, constitutional democratic republic of necessity must have four active branches of government. The legislative, the executive, the judicial and the people as a organized force to present on a consistent bases, their legitimate needs, problems, interest and will. As long a the people do not know or understand themselves as the fourth branch of government, they will be a foolish crowd that is polled, manipulated and intimidated into all kinds of irrational actions that are against their health, interest, rights and needs.
Man (male/female) is a four dimensional being of spirit, mind, emotion and body. The universe in which man lives is a four dimensional reality consisting of space, energy, elements and motion. Therefore, in order for man to comprehend their health, interest, rights and needs and to appropriate their gifts, skills, talents and time to cooperate with each other in the enterprise of being fruitful and multiplying, there has to be a four dimensional government system that allows love, truth, equity, justice and other principles to be a functioning administrative reality. It follows therefore, that a one, two or three dimensional government can not appropriately serve the needs of four dimensional beings living in a four dimensional universal system.
The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s culminated in the 1965 Right To Vote legislation. This legislation removed the last vestige of disenfranchisement from every segment of the American community. While this legislation gave great opportunity, it also has created a crisis that is even greater. By enfranchising a large segment of the American community who do not have a theological or constitutional base (manhood or nationhood consciousness), we have allowed for the exercising of privileges without the responsibility for freedom. The franchise in the hands of a people who have no theological, constitutional or industrial base is a danger to a constitutional democratic republic.
The disenfranchisement of one segment of the American community, effectively disenfranchise the whole community as it was prior to 1965. This disenfranchisement blinds the total American community to manhood and nationhood consciousness. It allowed the republican aspect of the government to develop while stifling the democratic aspect. While representative government is doing very well, peoples involvement in government is doing poorly.
It must be remembered that America is a constitutional democratic republic, with a system of law that allows the people to lawfully govern their own affairs. It is not, however, a system of law predicated on the assumption that the majority rules, neither is it predicated on the assumption that the elected officials rule. It is the law itself that establishes the rule. Therefore, we have America, a constitutional democratic republic system of law that allows people to govern their own affairs, however, it is a lack of the peoples involvement that allows special interest groups to lobby and put undue pressure on the elected officials without the counter balance of a process to allow the people to keep continually before the law makers the constitutional interests, rights, and needs of the people. The people pay taxes, vote, and complain, but the people do not have a legitimate context or mechanism within which to formulate their own authentic constitutional rights, interests, and needs and subsequently to have these rights, interests and needs presented to the law makers and law making bodies. In this sense, the democratic aspect of the government is lacking. In order to address this need, we the people in order to form a more perfect union shall organize precinct councils in every precinct in order to address the questions, issues, problems and needs in each precinct and collectively as precinct council organizations present the formulated needs, interests and problems to the appropriate law maker and law making body for appropriate action.
The basis for the precinct council is manhood and nationhood consciousness, and the responsibility that derives there from. Manhood consciousness is accepting the fact that man is created in the image and likeness of God. When this fact is accepted and no one is related to based on anything less than this fact, then manhood consciousness evolves. This manhood consciousness leads to nationhood consciousness, the fact that God created man for a purpose, and that this purpose is attained and maintained under a system of constitutional law.
From manhood and nationhood consciousness comes the responsibility to legislate, adjudicate, execute and administrate our health, interests, rights and needs by asking questions, getting answers, making decisions and doing work. We then evaluate to determine whether the work done did in fact fulfill the needs, foster the health, facilitate the interest and protect the rights of the people.
The precinct council being a constitutional democratic republic body is there to address the problems, questions, issues and needs of the people. The precinct council being a constitutional democratic republic body is there to address the problems, questions, issues and needs of the people.
THE LAWS GOVERNING A NONVIOLENT MEETING
1. At the meeting, anyone is allowed to speak. They can only discuss what they and their Creator intend to do. They cannot discuss the misconduct and misfortune of other people, unless they show how that misfortune and/or misconduct creates separation, and unless they explain what they did or are doing to cause reconciliation in the situation, i.e., discuss a healing method for every disorder and misconduct. Otherwise it will be classified as gossip. All flattery is pseudo gossip, an attempt to sophisticate gossip.
2. All references to history should be to prove that there is an intelligent life force that has created all things to live in harmony with each other on earth. (If historical references dont prove the above then the person has a false sense of history which should not be allowed.)
3. Each person must willing to honestly discuss their position, disposition and proposition.
4. The person speaking must be willing and open to let anyone at anytime question their motives and intentions.
5. If one is not prepared to speak under these terms, they must listen, and be contemplative,
for they are not yet ready to speak.
6. The songs and music must be the same as the speech.
7. Prayers must be within the framework of the Lords Prayer and Davids 23rd Psalm. The Lords Prayer is a private request and the 23rd Psalm is the public expression of it. Any prayer vibrations less than this is an outside show to an unfriendly world.

Please give generously to honor one who has given so much to make freedom a reality in the lives of so many.
It is a known fact that when a people are held captive that they take on the character and mannerisms of their captors. It is only through change (energy based) therapies that they are able to develop a whole character that is reflective of their true divinity.
James L. Bevel has done more to uproot and remove the effects of slavery on himself and his fellow man than any historical figure to date. Every movement he initiated and participated in was his way of healing his past to create a free society for himself and generations to follow.
It is incumbent upon us the living to continue to heal those aspects in ourselves that impede us from being the vessel of God that he was inspite of his impediments and to heal those scars of slavery in ourselves that he was unable to uproot in himself. To this end the movement continues.
Who called the march?
Why did he call for the march from Selma to Montgomery?
Where did he make the call for a march from Selma to Montgomery?
Reverend James Luther Bevel was inspired by Frederick Douglass who said,
"I expose slavery in this country, because to expose it is to kill it. Slavery is one of those monsters of darkness to whom the light of truth is death."
