These attributes are ever more assets, such as land,
property, wealth, fame, commodities, good works and
elite status. The substantiation of the individual's worth
and Consequence, is based upon the comparison of the
self and one's circumstances to models, to which they are
suppose to correspond. In this way the individual is not
free, but a slave to the instructions, orders, demands and
directives of material gain. Therefore the Progressive
relies for worth not on pre-existent states, but on changed
states as progressed and improved.
The True Conservative derives worth and consequence
from pre-existent states. These states are the born self, the
community when one is proud of it, the natural world,
and spiritual connectedness. The individual self-being a
creation of the universe, derives worth as an aspect of this
fantastic creation, and as such is considered equal to the
worth of the entirety of the Whole, and or whatever one
can imagine it to be. The individual is a member of a
larger community, to which every individual and family
must rely, which can be the local community, the larger
state and nation or the world community. To the extent
that one understands the workings of all the various
communities large and small, is to the extent one can
identify and feel themselves as part and able to
contribute, assume roles, and be an equivalence in worth
to any aspect, large or small.
The True Conservative does not rely on the standard
hierarchies of importance and worth, as exampled by the
typical wage scales and status symbols. That the
individual is excluded from many if not most of these
communities, is for reasons of private greed and
inferiority and is not one's personal fault
