  Article 58-Great Order of Austerity  
58.1 Great order of austerity  
  For many believers in many cultures around the planet, their practice of faith is performed in a strict code of rules. In a rich tradition of saints, they see the wisdom in a simple life removed from the noise of technology and complexity. They respect and seek the traditional codes of subordination of women, of superiority of men, of abstinence and prayer.  
  In respect to the devotion of these true followers of One Spirit Tribe, the One Spirit Tribe shall honor them with their own order known as the Great Order of Austerity.  
  Not only shall all members of the great order of Austerity be able to control their own rules and codes of practice, but they shall also be able to elect their own leadership and representation while at the same time being part of the one united One Spirit Tribe.  
58.2 The task of guarding the most sacred objects of One Spirit Tribe  
  In exchange for those most austere to One Spirit Tribe agreeing to become one with One Spirit Tribe, this Covenant, this new covenant charges The Great Order of Austerity with the task of protecting those places and people deemed most sacred to One Spirit Tribe.  
  There can be no greater honour to a warrior of the faith to be known as a Guard of One Spirit Tribe. A Guard of One Spirit Tribe is one who would martyr his own live than see the life taken of another, except in the protection of that which is deemed most holy to One Spirit Tribe. A Guard of One Spirit Tribe is an elite, the highest of the warrior poets, a hero of the faith.  
  It is by these words and by this Covenant that all warriors are called upon to lay down their arms in hate and anger and seek to become greater beings. To seek to be selected as a Guard of One Spirit Tribe. A protector of the faith and a guardian against evil.  
58.3 Guard of One Spirit Tribe  
  The Guard of One Spirit Tribe shall only be selected from members of the Great Order of Austerity. They will be an elite group of men who have extensive defence and attack arts training and have excelled in academic qualifications. They will be charged with responsibility for protection of all the most sacred places to One Spirit Tribe and all people deemed most holy to the faith.  
  The Guard of One Spirit Tribe will provide constant protection to The Maitreya, all Sacred Elder and Tribal Chief. They shall also be charged with the task of assisting national governments in the pursuit of renegades and evangelists who still seek to kill others in the name of One Great Spirit.  
  The Guard of One Spirit Tribe shall also provide security analysis and detection of potential threats made on the lives of any officials.  
58.3 Secretary-General of the Great Order of Austerity  
  The executive Power of the Great Order of Austerity shall be vested in an executive government comprising a Secretary-General, and the Supreme Board of the Great Order of Austerity.
 
  The Secretary-General is the supreme leader of the Great Order of Austerity, its head of state and prime representative to the world. The office of Secretary-General is the highest elected office of the Order and at all times should be considered with the greatest dignity and respect.
