THE FORM AND FUNCTION OF THE GUILD

INTRODUCTION 1. In order that every man might have the possibility of living the resurgent style, a primal guild at the local parish level is called forth to provide the comprehensive care and contextual vision. The guild system coordinates the activities of the primal guilds and injects wisdom from other guild systems around the globe. The guild network maintains the vision of univrersa1 care and appropriation of everyman's experience by universalizing and communicating the insights from the systems and particular primal guilds. Having created an image of the form of the primal guild from both this dynamic in history and the present sociological need, the task of defining the system and network functions, forms and interrelationships and creative tensions is visioned. The forms of guild network are interchange, strategy and research. The forces of a guild system are centrums, training and impact forces. The focus of a prima1 guild are cell, grassroots forces, care, awakenment and celebration

THE
EXCHANGING
COMMON
WISDOM
2. 0ne function of the global net is to enable continuing systematic exchange of common models and wisdom throughout primal guilds. It publicizes local signs, making known across the globe various local breakthroughs and accomplishments. It insures leadership exchange to elicit a cross-fertilization of wisdom and an explosion of context in every primal guild, keeping a global operating image in each guildsman's mind. It enables model-sharing in order to permits every primal guild to feed off the wisdom generated in any other localis.

THE
ENABLING
COMMON
VISION
3. Another function of the Global Guild Network is articulating the common vision. This is the function of the gathering of local guildsmen in which the pulse of the times is discerned and articulated in order to renew and revitalize the context out of which the guild operates. One way to carry out this function is to create methods to be used at the system and primal levels to hold global commonness in methodology. Another way in which the function is carried out is through the prediction of global needs and the creation of comprehensive designs and operating images to meet the needs. The function of articulating the common vision is also carried out through the analysis of global indicatives, trends and contradictions which come from global research and planning assemblies which the network conducts periodically.

4 The global network also insures a common symbology and a style of servanthood while at the same time upholding the cultura1 uniqueness of every 1ocalis. It insures a common symbology and a common style of servanthood by holding gui1ds at the prima1 and system levels accountable to the common vision and by providing common stories, images and symbols to every guild. It upholds the cultural uniqueness of every localis by spreading globally the arts and histories of every localis.

RELATING TO
SYSTEM
The Network Interrelatedness

5. The guild network is related directly to the primal through the gui1d system. The net calls into being a focus point for the exchange of global and local edge thinking - including training and research -- and acts as the juncture that channels local man's wisdom to global effectiveness. The network limits the system in that it defines the system's nature, size and arenas of operation. The system is sustained by the network in that it guards it by honoring the system's full representation and holds the system accountable to its specific area responsibilities.

THE
NETWORK
RELATING TO
PRIMAL
6. The relationship of the global network and the primal guild is imaged as being transparent in nature and servant in style. From the time the prima1 guild is called into being, the network is enabling it to take into itself the global wisdom, vision, and story. The prima1 is limited by the network in that the primal is held accountable to its common vision and defined both in terms of geography and arenas of action. The network sustains the primal by making the global and its resources available to the local, by reminding the prima1 that its particular task is on behalf of all, and by providing a structure through which the primal's particular
creativity may be passed on to other local guilds. The emphasis will always be on the primal guild, but the network is necessary to enable the prima1 to fulfi11 its task in history by continually linking the local to the goba1 vision.

THE
OVERALL
NETWORK
FORM
The Network Forms

7. The globa1 network of parish communications and planning is funneled through systems of guilds and particular primal guilds. This network is responsible for integrating the vision of the primal guilds into a g1obal picture and initiates signs to implement that vision. The network is composed of guildsmen uniquely trained in sophisticated tactical methods and style and ground in a parish guild. Meetings are composed of representatives from parish guilds and guild systems, and invitations are sent out to insure diverse participation from such vocations as teachers, businessmen, union leaders, politicians, religious leaders and entertainers. The operational guidelines of the network include division into three teak forces. The permanently based central group consists of varied vocations, meets regularly, processing information from global reports, and redistributes the data. Another group consisting of global representatives meets quarterly using discussion, debate, research, and multimedia to accomplish their task, and takes the product of this work back to the respective areas. The third group meets yearly for longer periods of time to research and exchange information. The general format of guild network includes setting the agendas for PSU's, research projects, regional

gatherings and other necessary coordination structures for wisdom sharing and problem solving. The network is responsible for establishment of common formats in the areas of symbolic life, finances, priorship, procedures and evaluation. A global information centrum is responsible for collection, translation, and global dissemination of guild information, including research papers, reports and a global roster.

THE
GLOBAL
INTERCHANGE
8. The form of global interchange is a network of representatives that include galaxies, area priors, guardians, primal guilds, global counci1 and regulation centrum. Their work is expanded so they can function as the global interchange form of the guild. A small group of coordinating servants meets on a full time basis in an office at Base Centrum to coordinate and carry out the work of the global interchange, having received reports, models and strategies from weekly galaxy and guild meetings, quarterly consults, area meetings and a yearly global council. The general format of the interchange includes the daily work of the coordinating servants. They develop a data bank, prepare new courses and methodologies, identify edge issues, and make assignments to the globa1 leadership exchange. They also develop various publications to serve as communication vehicles for common models, common discipline, common symbolic life, accumulated wisdom, and signal projects throughout the network.

THE
PRACTICAL
EXCHANGE
9. The form of the network guild as the practical strategy exchange insures that strategies developed by primal guilds are shared with the globe. One component would consist of a group of people assigned to the global centrum node to enable a global pool of methodologies and functional specialists to construct strategies for the primal guilds. Another component is planning sessions such as an annual global planning council, quarterly Continental Guild Presidiums. A third component is an ongoing Guild Workshop Exchange. The work format of these groupings includes preparing common strategies, battleplans, timelines and operational training manuals.

THE
GLOBAL
RESEARCH
NETWORK
10. The global research network form ia composed of a centralized servant staff of primal guildsmen, system coordinators, members of various research assemblies, and extends to hired technical specialists such as computer scientists or atomic physicist consultants; the composition honors all cultural groups. The global research network form operates in a central office located in the Global Centrum. Access to electronic equipment such as data processing computers, memory banks, research and library facilities necessitate the location be a key metropolitan community. A small full time staff will coordinate the ongoing data gathering from the system and primal levels, with an annual global research assembly which enables a consensus on global local edge issues. This continuous research will give form to global trends, contradictions, indicatives and imperatives which will enable every local man to effectively plan the future of the globe.

THE FORM AND FUNCTION OF THE GUILD

THE GUILD SYSTEM

TRAINING THE FORCES
The System Functions

11. The guild system function of training the forces equips the guilder at the primal level to serve the parish through continual advancement in methodology, style and networkwide constructs. The scope of this activity is spread over two basic arenas: training teachers and tooling local man. The training of teachers includes all the pedagogical courses necessary in sustaining the common curriculum needs ~f the primal guilds within the system, As these individuals are trained, the system is able to maintain a pedagogy base which will include names and areas of training and from that base disperse teachers among the parishes as needed. As this occurs, local man is prepared to awaken, care for, and guard humanness through study courses, workshops and problemsolving units. In general, the system provides for comprehensive coordination of all training that goes on in the primal guild, always guarding against reductionism and insularity,

FOCUSING THE THRUST 12. The system focuses the thrust of the entire form of the guild by being the portal through which the primal and the network enlighten each other, Of equal importance is that the system serves as an enablement unit to local guilds and finds unique possibilities within their parishes. Specifically, the system level establishes the primal locus in the global grid in such a way that the primal perceives itself as in the globe, Structurally the system maintains accountability processes, common language, and common symbology as it keeps the global network held up before the primal local guild, It screens local and global research data so it may be filtered from one to the other. Data concerning parish resources, primal contradictions, specific local thrusts, and global network data are coordinated into a readily accessible and globally comprehensible form.

IMPACTING THE MASSES 13. To impact the masses at the system level is imaged as servanthood to both the primal guild and the network, Its functions include awakening latent guildsmen through marketing the LENS course and catalyzing the formation of primal guilds in unpenetrated areas, Forces are created to handle involvement in practical activities like Metropolitan celebrations and LENS Followup courses. Guildsmen whose task is impactment of established structures like government agencies, major corporations or universities, will be organized and sustained at the system level,

THE SYSTEMS RELATING TO NETWORK The System Interrelations

14. In its role of training forces, focusing the task, and impacting the masses, the guild system creates, limits and sustains the global guild network. This allows an exchange of common wisdom and data, enables common vision and battleplanning, and guards common symbology and style. The system creates the global network by training global servants and by revealing local needs, The system holds the global network in tension with the primal level by holding the network accountable by dealing with actual contradictions and needs experienced at the primal level, The system sustains the global network by providing a communications funnel which relates the guild network to the primal, by providing trained forces and by enabling commonality.

THE SYSTEMS RELATING TO PRIMAL 15. The systems level of the guild provides an effective channel to and from the global network which creates, limits and sustains the primal guild. The system creates an effective intermediate force by providing a source of tested models, training the leadership, and enabling participation in global consensus. The system holds the localglobal tension and provides primal guildsmen with a sense of global responsibility which limits tendencies toward parochialism and reduced care structures. Systematic and strategic penetrations models guard against ineffective, random attempts by the primal to release the resurgence style. The system sustains the primal by training the forces, providing the constructs and focusing the thrust of awakenment of the parish to take responsibility for all of its citizens as a sign of global responsibility.

OVERALL
SYSTEM FORM
The System Forms

16. The form of guild system consists of a regional centrum, a guildsman training construct and a mass impact force. This dynamic is embodied by a core of established professional leaders who are well grounded in movement methodologies, committed to the primal guild and resolved to stand in the tension between the global and the local as teachers, coordinators, or representatives, There will be adequate office space and staff for the purpose of maintaining communications and records, coordinating course schedules and curriculum

THE
REGIONAL
CENTRUM
17. The Regional Centrum is a small representative group selected from among the LENS faculty, guild training representatives, and members of primal guilds. By maintaining a low profile and by rotating a portion of the staff quarterly and holding those rotatedoff as exofficios, the Centrum will avoid becoming a static bureaucracy, The Centrum coordinates research information and scheduling, thus holding local and global accountability.

THE FORM AND FUNCTION OF THE GUILD

THE GUILDSMAN
TRAINING
STRUCTURE
18. The Guild Training Construct operates out of an area coordinating centrum (probably the Religious House initially) using a WATTS line to ensure constant primal contact. It maintains master files of available pedagogues and training facilities at the primal level. A minimal staff coordinates and maintains the data and resources available for the training of the local man. This construct is also responsible for the coordination and scheduling of the training programs which will emerge as primal guilds determine their area of need.

THE MASS
IMPACT FORCES
19. The Mass Impact Force is composed of a small representative group, including those from primal guilds, LENS grads, movement Guardians, and persons with wisdom in economic or political or cultural fields, Persons with skills in designing celebrations and followup events are important for engaging grads and movement friends. The system coordinates marketing of courses to impact key establishment elements. The forces designated to fill this function must be carefully chosen to meet the specific situation at hand. The format will be accomplished primarily through the marketing of the LENS course and linking of those into a network.

THE
CATALYZING
COMPREHENSIVE
CARE
20. The primal guild, functioning as the catalyst for comprehensive care, renews and establishes community care systems. Spotting the needs of the community, locating available resources and determining potential snags in filling those needs are followed by evoking now structures and revitalizing existing ones. Identitying futuric priorities through problem solving units allows the community to grasp the importance of grassroots participation in enabling continuing care and solving its own problems.

THE
TRAINING
MOBILIZATION
FORCES
21. Another function of the primal guild is that of training and mobilizing forces. This includes resurgent methods training, birthing strategic vision and sustaining resurgent bents; the latter insures that the guild stays on target with respect to its long range vision by providing nurture to new guilders add by developing the means for teaching the new evangelism. Resurgent methods creates the training models and then trains local man in the methodologies necessary for bringing about resurgence. Birthing strategic vision means taking the spiritual pulse of the primal community and creating stories, vocational revisioning, and celebrative events.

THE
RELEASING

THE
22. A function of the primal guild which allows man to act out his care for society is that of releasing resurgence styles. It spiritizes primal community by catalyzing cabarets, creating celebrative events and bringing antagonists together to produce positive working relationships. In order to release resurgence styles the guild must enable engaged life styles by sustaining the missional family, giving the possibility of seeing how the mundane has global effect and by demonstrating the totally expended life style. The guild also releases resurgence styles by stimulating symbo1 creation, thereby raising to the community's selfconsciousness the possibility of a now relationship to life.

The Primal Interrelations

PRIMAL
RELATING TO
NETWORK
23. The primal guild, as an autonomous unit, relates to the global network out of a comprehensive context. The primal guild's need for methods, models, and vision beyond themselves creates the necessity for the formation of the guild network where coordination, research and methodologies are forged and unified in a common effort. The primal guild limits the guild network in that it guards local and ethnic wisdom by insisting that resurgence training be applicable to the local situation. The primal guild evaluates and reports contradictions to the network and demands that global data and models apply to local situations. Even as the primal unite are held together by the common vision and methodologies of the

network, the primal sustains the network through local research, demonstration models and signs. In feeding back insights and practical wisdom, the primal allows the network to revise its methodologies, maintain an interchange of funds and personnel, and decide what arenas need exploration.

THE PRIMAL
RELATING TO
SYSTEM
24. The local action pole of the guild is the primal form which, together with the system and network, comprises the overall form of the guild in such a w.' that each component creates, limits, and sustains the others. The primal creates the system's need for a troop training center, a global screen, an information and data pool, and a forces coordination base. The primal guild ellls into question the battleplans and models of the system by demanding they be applicable at the local level. Such models are tested and. if ineffective, returned to the system, a method which guards against bureaucracy. The primal guild sustains the system by lending authenticity through signs of demonstration, through data exchange, and through continual! providing more troop. for the system. The primal thus impacts the system by redefining arenas of action, much as a computer's program is radically altered by a change of one digit in the primal program unit.

THE OVERALL
PRIMAL
FORM

The Primal Form

25. The primal guild is composed of selfconscious guildsmen from a cross section of the parish. It incorporates expertise gifts from various professional fields and includes businessmen, self-conscious churchmen, movement colleagues, and concerned community leaders. This group of 80100 includes levels of commitment ranging from a lifecommitted core of 712 to those who affirm the work of the guild but participate on a limited basis. The comprehensive group congregates in a public meeting place monthly for the purpose of celebrating, reporting, holding accountability and absolution and visioning. The meeting is open to anyone interested who has decided to participate in the work of a particular session. This same format is repeated in the smaller group sessions. The guild discerns contradictions within the community and creates imaginal signs to release those contradictions. This is done through comprehensive planning, coordination of activities, parish thinktanks, forums for local participation seminars in community methodologies and parishwide celebrations.

THE DECISION
COORDINATION
CELL
26. The decision coordination cell is composed of 712 welltrained, disciplined colleagues representing the other four forms and reflecting the makeup of the parish by phases, sexes and cultures. The cell will have office apace and intentional weekly meetings to symbolize their discipline. The meeting image will be open, but only members participate in the consensus. Week II is a time of planning and includes PSU's and work with other forms of the guild. The cell embodies the role of servant, and its genera, format is to design models, to coordinate the work of the other forms, to care for the guild members, to hold accountability/absolution rites, and to coordinate al1 assignments.

THE GRASSROOTS
MOBILIZATION
CORPS
27. The grassroots mobilization corps is composed of a self-conscious group of 20 local community leaders with a representation from the decision coordination cell. At a minimum this group meets weekly in office facilities, visible yet not publicized. Their task is to build models in the arena of nurture, training and mobilization of manpower utilizing highly developed manpower resource data bank, communications net, manpower recruitment and training network to meet all immediate and projected guild and community requirements. They are imaged as disciplined catalytic generators.

COMPREHENSIVE
CARE DESIGN
28. Comprehensive care design is composed of fulltine and parttime staff of 30 to 50 volunteer workers. A small core group is assigned by the decision coordination cell. They must be structural revolutionaries with at least three selfconscious churchmen. This group is identifiable to the parish and meets weekly as a full body in the nodal office. Their procedural format includes gridding and problematting the parish, conducting parish PSU's, building models for adequate care structures, and refining those structures already in existence.

THE
DEMONSTRATION
AWAKENMENT
LABORATORIES
29. The demonstration awakenment laboratories are composed of 612 people who are disciplined and highly trained troops including movement pedagogues, regiona1 movemental leadership such as guardians, local church cadre members and committed LENS graduates. They meet once a week at a popular node and are an intentional visible sign of awakenment in the parish. The general format of the laboratories includes marketing the LENS course, sponsoring special methods courses in the parish and catalyzing intentional followup and training of course grads in order to enable grassroot mobilization.

THE FORM AND FUNCTION OF THE GUILD

THE
COMMUNITY
CELEBRATION
EUENTS
30. The community celebration events form of the guild is composed of 820 parishioners. At least one is a latent churchman and all are imaginal educators or have skills in the fine arts. Their meetings are held in visible places which are accessible and open to all parish residents. They meet quarterly and whenever it is necessary to activate parish celebrative events. Possible celebrative themes are heritage, local history, urs, and religious and national holidays. Possible forms are street fairs, festivals, dinners, songfests, and art fairs.

CONCLUSION 31. The form of the guild consists of the primal guild, which in witnessing to the resurgence continually plumbs the creativity of local man; the guild system, which coordinates the efforts of the primal guilds for the purpose of focusing their thrust and enabling their effectiveness in responding to the demands of care, the guild network, which in discerning with boldness the ever new vision, sees that the entire guild construct remains a lively response to the global situation. The form of the guild will differ therefore from the form of other secular institutions of care in the guild's dedication expressed in its very structure to continually expand the dimensions of its human concern, shifting the arenas of its action in response to the cries of innocent suffering which are interpreted as the historic demand.

THE GLOBAL INTERCHANGE	8. The form of global interchange is a network of representatives that include galaxies, area priors, guardians, primal guilds, global counci1 and regulation centrum. Their work is expanded so they can function as the global interchange form of the guild. A small group of coordinating servants meets on a full time basis in an office at Base Centrum to coordinate and carry out the work of the global interchange, having received reports, models and strategies from weekly galaxy and guild meetings, quarterly consults, area meetings and a yearly global council. The general format of the interchange includes the daily work of the coordinating servants.

THE GLOBAL RESEARCH NETWORK	10. The global research network form ia composed of a centralized servant staff of primal guildsmen, system coordinators, members of various research assemblies, and extends to hired technical specialists such as computer scientists or atomic physicist consultants; the composition honors all cultural groups. The global research network form operates in a central office located in the Global Centrum. Access to electronic equipment such as data processing computers, memory banks, research and library facilities necessitate the location be a key metropolitan community. A small full time staff will coordinate the ongoing data gathering from the system and primal levels, with an annual global research assembly which enables a consensus on global local edge issues. This continuous research will give form to global trends, contradictions, indicatives and imperatives which will enable every local man to effectively plan the future of the globe.

THE TRAINING MOBILIZATION FORCES	21. Another function of the primal guild is that of training and mobilizing forces. This includes resurgent methods training, birthing strategic vision and sustaining resurgent bents; the latter insures that the guild stays on target with respect to its long range vision by providing nurture to new guilders add by developing the means for teaching the new evangelism. Resurgent methods creates the training models and then trains local man in the methodologies necessary for bringing about resurgence. Birthing strategic vision means taking the spiritual pulse of the primal community and creating stories, vocational revisioning, and celebrative events.
THE RELEASING RESURGENCE STYLE THE	22. A function of the primal guild which allows man to act out his care for society is that of releasing resurgence styles. It spiritizes primal community by catalyzing cabarets, creating celebrative events and bringing antagonists together to produce positive working relationships. In order to release resurgence styles the guild must enable engaged life styles by sustaining the missional family, giving the possibility of seeing how the mundane has global effect and by demonstrating the totally expended life style. The guild also releases resurgence styles by stimulating symbo1 creation, thereby raising to the community's selfconsciousness the possibility of a now relationship to life. The Primal Interrelations
PRIMAL RELATING TO NETWORK	23. The primal guild, as an autonomous unit, relates to the global network out of a comprehensive context. The primal guild's need for methods, models, and vision beyond themselves creates the necessity for the formation of the guild network where coordination, research and methodologies are forged and unified in a common effort. The primal guild limits the guild network in that it guards local and ethnic wisdom by insisting that resurgence training be applicable to the local situation. The primal guild evaluates and reports contradictions to the network and demands that global data and models apply to local situations. Even as the primal unite are held together by the common vision and methodologies of the

In feeding back insights and practical wisdom, the primal allows the network to revise its methodologies, maintain an interchange of funds and personnel, and decide what arenas need exploration.
THE PRIMAL RELATING TO SYSTEM	24. The local action pole of the guild is the primal form which, together with the system and network, comprises the overall form of the guild in such a w.' that each component creates, limits, and sustains the others. The primal creates the system's need for a troop training center, a global screen, an information and data pool, and a forces coordination base. The primal guild ellls into question the battleplans and models of the system by demanding they be applicable at the local level. Such models are tested and. if ineffective, returned to the system, a method which guards against bureaucracy. The primal guild sustains the system by lending authenticity through signs of demonstration, through data exchange, and through continual! providing more troop. for the system. The primal thus impacts the system by redefining arenas of action, much as a computer's program is radically altered by a change of one digit in the primal program unit.
THE OVERALL PRIMAL FORM	The Primal Form 25. The primal guild is composed of selfconscious guildsmen from a cross section of the parish. It incorporates expertise gifts from various professional fields and includes businessmen, self-conscious churchmen, movement colleagues, and concerned community leaders. This group of 80100 includes levels of commitment ranging from a lifecommitted core of 712 to those who affirm the work of the guild but participate on a limited basis. The comprehensive group congregates in a public meeting place monthly for the purpose of celebrating, reporting, holding accountability and absolution and visioning. The meeting is open to anyone interested who has decided to participate in the work of a particular session. This same format is repeated in the smaller group sessions. The guild discerns contradictions within the community and creates imaginal signs to release those contradictions. This is done through comprehensive planning, coordination of activities, parish thinktanks, forums for local participation seminars in community methodologies and parishwide celebrations.

THE DECISION COORDINATION CELL	26. The decision coordination cell is composed of 712 welltrained, disciplined colleagues representing the other four forms and reflecting the makeup of the parish by phases, sexes and cultures. The cell will have office apace and intentional weekly meetings to symbolize their discipline. The meeting image will be open, but only members participate in the consensus. Week II is a time of planning and includes PSU's and work with other forms of the guild. The cell embodies the role of servant, and its genera, format is to design models, to coordinate the work of the other forms, to care for the guild members, to hold accountability/absolution rites, and to coordinate al1 assignments.
THE GRASSROOTS MOBILIZATION CORPS	27. The grassroots mobilization corps is composed of a self-conscious group of 20 local community leaders with a representation from the decision coordination cell. At a minimum this group meets weekly in office facilities, visible yet not publicized. Their task is to build models in the arena of nurture, training and mobilization of manpower utilizing highly developed manpower resource data bank, communications net, manpower recruitment and training network to meet all immediate and projected guild and community requirements. They are imaged as disciplined catalytic generators.
COMPREHENSIVE CARE DESIGN	28. Comprehensive care design is composed of fulltine and parttime staff of 30 to 50 volunteer workers. A small core group is assigned by the decision coordination cell. They must be structural revolutionaries with at least three selfconscious churchmen. This group is identifiable to the parish and meets weekly as a full body in the nodal office. Their procedural format includes gridding and problematting the parish, conducting parish PSU's, building models for adequate care structures, and refining those structures already in existence.
THE DEMONSTRATION AWAKENMENT LABORATORIES	29. The demonstration awakenment laboratories are composed of 612 people who are disciplined and highly trained troops including movement pedagogues, regiona1 movemental leadership such as guardians, local church cadre members and committed LENS graduates. They meet once a week at a popular node and are an intentional visible sign of awakenment in the parish. The general format of the laboratories includes marketing the LENS course, sponsoring special methods courses in the parish and catalyzing intentional followup and training of course grads in order to enable grassroot mobilization.
