Its existence is indicated by the times in which it has been born and lives. Its precedents derive from ancient days when humans, either as individuals or in groups, represented the individual and the general good against the ignorant in power. The SOWG's main aim is educational. Unlike the guru however who teaches the theory of wisdom while living the wise life, the World Guard teaches by example and witness. The personality of the state must be respected while at the same time prevented from asserting itself on another state or indigenous group.
Humans live by myths which take the form of faiths.
To deprive a person of one's faith in one's father or mother land would be to undermine one's faith in oneself. For statespersons however to arrogate to themselves an absolute sovereignty to be exercised in all their dealings with fellow states is to invite the absurdity of two or more absolutes operating in the same given area. In the context of the entire world community, there is but one sovereignty and that belongs to all humankind which in terms of the princples of unity and universality upon which all faith and myths are built is, for our time, absolute. Logic compels us to consider ourselves quantatively as but one tiny fragment of the entire sentient universe which in the final sense is absolute in sovereignty. The SOWG seeks to represent this human sovereignty in view of the inability of individual states to give it either effective voice or practical manifestation.
