- Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
- Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
- Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
- Balance personal rights with social duties.
- Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite.
- Be not a cancer on the Earth – leave room for nature – leave room for nature.
The monument often referred as "American Stonehenge" is about 6m high and consists of six granite slabs - one slab in the centre, with four arranged around it and a top stone above the five slabs.
The slabs orientation is based on the Sun's yearly migration. The centre column features a hole through which the North Star can be seen regardless of time, as well as a slot that is aligned with the Sun's solstices and equinoxes. A small aperture in the capstone allows a ray of sun to pass through at noon each day, shining a beam on the centre stone indicating the day of the year.
