In a week I will be going to a Cal exit conference, bringing together activists from around the world who want out of the local corruption. I will have a few minutes to share. Liberland representatives will be there. Liberland does have its own new country, can’t fit all of us. It’s under 10 miles square. However, what if we don’t have to move? What if we express our choice to reform in a different manner?
Number one, I believe we all have the authority to manifest an honorable way, and disengage from corruption. The sad thing about corruption, is that it is below the belt dirty, dishonest and crass. Fighting against it with honor, another words, punching above the belt while they punch below, is somewhat ill-advised. We need to employ the best of our energy for the maximum output. I am going to the conference as a Vermonter, a state that has a succession movement, to speak as a member of the Great Alliance of Awakened Private People. Right now we are allied in our hearts, in our understanding of us vs them. Many wondering “how may untangle myself where I am tied by the ankle to step in amongst and in support of them”?.
This is so for all of us, since we are all in use of the real political power, the currencies of that power, their money. Money is the governing power, who sets the rules, and who collects the benefits of rules set in their favor. But money itself has no merit, you can’t eat it, drink it, often you can’t see it, except as some pixels on a screen that organize a/b, on/off to show a ‘value’. Money is how we speak together in commerce. Like all languages it is symbolic one, it symbolizes the value of the products and services and art we create. When we must, by default, use the governing power of a few who makes money rules to disempower ourselves, and our people, and to empower themselves in violent, harsh and hellish ways, we are enslaved, at the least indentured to their lawlessness.
Most will suggest that the use of their governing power, is the place we need to address as a republic, as a global alliance, and yet decentralization or use of cash is not pervasive enough for the rule remedy we need. The elected are not the governing power, these have no money power, nor will they step away from being governed by money power! Even our current administration, uncovering the kickbacks, waste and fraud will not admit that the governing power of money, needs democratization (as a republic). That power institutionalized by the financial sector, the few families who got in while the getting was easy, to fix the exchange systems in their favor, Rothchilds etc, now the Blackrock, Vanguard corporations (there’s one more?), ‘owning’ all, is not questioned by conservative men and occasional woman, who are now elected to power, simply insist that the existing money rules ought to be used for good.
But the money systems that are themselves fraudulent lead to enslavement, to extremes of impoverishment and empowerment. Shall we be thankful that the world’s first trillionaire is ‘on our side’? Is he a trillionaire, and who is counting? I am thankful to see a child on his shoulders and a relaxed attitude of common sense. I wonder would he advocate that the money we use, the stuff we imagine has value, (only it is only a symbol of value, not the stuff of real value), would shift in its origin, away from the ones whose rules have served his personal trillionaire standing, to arise from the people who use it. I am certain that with the masterful minds we have a method can be devised to shift the issuance power and the maintenance power, and the rules power to the shoulders of the collective, as they experience the economy. An app as ubiquitous as google to involve us all in a currency that denounces the capacity of our symbol of value to become a symbol of authority.
While we all understand that gold is valuable, silver is valuable, oil, and platinum, diamonds and pearls, perhaps we ought to truly understand that none of these is as valuable as our spirit in alignment with a purpose that excites, especially even more valuable the collective spirit of our global people who want a fair participatory chance to model beauty, brilliance, invention, health, awe, pleasure and laughter. So while these things, and now the energy of electric current, are the collateral of the governing money/currency rules, in reality, the collateral that is behind it is the selfishness of the elite who secure their own beauty, brilliance, invention, health, awe, pleasure and laughter. They pretend it is the gold etc that justifies the rules they create. This is their sleight of hand. Their invention of rules for money is collateralized by their own state of health, not ours.
They cannot conceive, I would suggest, that their beauty, brilliance, etc, could be served absent their rules. Indeed their concern to keep hold of those rules is so dear that any measure of vile, nasty, mean, cruel, spiritually destitute behaviors is an oft used tool in their hands. Some have clearly found great joy in passionate cruelty, in so far as it reserves their power. It disgusts the humane bones in our bodies to be amongst these sickened souls, and it angers us to be involved in their rules, insofar as their rules govern us because they govern our money supply. However, it frightens us, rightfully so, because, as singular individuals we are so easily dispatched from our active repair of society. Insulation from chaos, internally and externally is fundamental. Not many of us can create chaos for the governing money rulers. They have retreat power, and military protection.
Where then, IS our chance to repair our practices? It sits in our collective advance onto a new path. My work is to spread the map, if you will, to as many people as I can reach, so we may head there, led from numerous points of origination . Where is there? There is where our entire humanity collateralizes our mutual beauty, brilliance, invention, health, awe, pleasure and laughter for our economy. For the difference between you and they, and me and they, is this emotional truth: we are all connected, and each of us (vs each of the money rulers who are concerned only with their interconnection as a subset) is connected in a wholesome concern for each other. Beautifully, as our connection becomes emboldened and strengthened, it shall weave a network of efforts to honor Nature, fundamental to our actualization of each others’ wellbeing.
I must attend to tasks of getting our materials readied with the honorable team I work with. Please understand that every substack offering I make is a first draft. I hope to leave this piece for you with a singular idea, that we have been imagining the wrong collateral to our money, and to replace it with the collateral described here. And, of course to suggest that behaving as those we do not respect, those who harm or enslave for their idea of personal authority, can be held apart from their wretched practice in a way that does not risk our involvement. In our consciousness we seed the desire of an outcome that serves our humane visions, we ‘work’ to seed this desire in our subconscious, envisioning, feeling and experiencing the change we wish to enact in as much detail as we can muster, each of us, as individual unique contributors. This is the substance of prayer.
Some call it meditation, some call it imagining, call it what you will, it is the currency of change. We can do this, and we shall enjoy the mutual results, especially since broad results have been so impossible to understand as potent possibilities accessible by all. Once we get the hang of it, our collective consciousness is the only tool we need, and with it we can do unthinkable things. For example, were the entire population of the Great Alliance of Awakened Private people, billions of us, were to worldwide, image the money rulers off their thrones, and each of us instead sitting in unity, heads popping up with helpful leadership like some sort of reverse whack a mole, and all manners of vile, violent intents packaged in airtight compressed impenetrable unit(s), the miracle would appear done, in some novel way that we all find super amazing.
We happen to exist when the contrast between good and evil is so compelling, our humanity endures only if we get into our collective power, which itself is latent and endless. This is our power, let’s rebuild it, the power of our consciousness manifests as the power of God. The power of Good is AS powerful as the rise and set of each day. Our children can be impressed earlier than we were with the power of their own consciousness, powers that we each take lifetimes to dig up and use, to employ in our personal lives, powers that were not objects of our education.
So, I am suggesting, that we succeed at collateralizing our collective according to truer terms, and renounce the rules of the governing power by taking on our own method that we share. Seeding our method all throughout, and spreading the authority across all of our shoulders. This is the safest way to succeed, it is the only way that we all can truly succeed.
Soon, I will be able to post the “map” of how we get there, maybe even before February 22. A dear friend and team partner gave me this from the Bible (I am a minimally bibled spirit- 10 easy commandments, I can do), I like it very much: Those who look into the perfect law, the law of liberty and persevere, being not hearers who forget, but doers who act, they will be blessed in their doing. (James 1:25)
Nice verse at the end :)
