So I think one reason it’s hard to grasp your ideas is because we are all numbed to our potential and our real power. I know many people say this, but this is my growing wheelhouse- I can help un-numb people. If I can grow in my personal power, and I still have plenty of room for growth, then anyone can.
I’m making some videos about this, geared towards people interested in personal growth or who have performance anxiety, but they could be directed to all of us who feel overwhelmed by the world. I’m regularly taking my own medicine on this, so I can grow up too!
Healing from performance anxiety truly is possible:
marta, how great to get to see your beautiful face! And what an excellent and much needed message. I'm just a couple minutes in but I can see the value in them and I'll watch them in the morning. And yes, I think our expectations have been beaten down for our own power and the ability to reinvent our society. David Graeber talks about that in anthropology, that people took for granted that they could make their society over when it wasn't working the way they wanted. We feel that's impossible. I'm looking forward to taking your medicine ;-)
Thank you so much Tereza. Sharing my videos here is one step in my own empowerment. And I still have so much room to grow! But moving and growing towards empowerment sure does feel healthy and alive!
So fascinating that previous cultures knew they could remake their societies!
Another element I want to name, besides our own personal beliefs of feeling it's impossible, and that's the collective belief of "its impossible".
I'm practicing slipping out of collective belief clouds and when I can do it, its remarkable to feel my sovereign self and to feel grounded. The disempowering negative collective beliefs always pull me up and away from the earth.
I watched both of these this morning and wish I'd taken notes so I could remember everything that struck me as so significant. I loved the emphasis on sensitivity as a blessing and a curse (in my words), and knowing that you have a gift--whoever you are--that the world needs. Purpose, and finding yours. The cautioning voice within as something to treat kindly and neither take to heart nor belittle, its intention to protect you is good just mistaken.
And especially that all the terrible and just mundanely bad things happening to others affects us. Of course, if we're all One, we can't escape that. It's why people who don't want to know about what's happening are actually hit worst of all because they already, at some level, are assuming the worst and hiding from it. I never thought about the importance of boundaries, not just in your personal life but in your relationship to suffering. It does no good to absorb what you believe to be the suffering of others but knowing about it and why it's happening does a lot of good. The first, and the belief that you have to take it in if you know about it, discourages the second.
Excellent coaching and I'm in awe of your ability to just speak to the camera in one long take! Thank you, marta.
Oh gosh, Tereza, I'm so grateful for your kind words! And thank you for watching my videos! I'm inspired by your generosity of time, attention, and comments. I'm both having fun making them and on the curious path about how to grow this aspect of myself. I had major anxiety for years and years, so being on the other side of it, in a way that doesn't bypass the anxious scared parts, is beyond a relief, and its a growing passion to be of assistance.
I like that angle that we are all One, so of course we're feeling all the garbage that's out there.
How did you deal with your fears of putting yourself out there? How do you deal with pushback or criticism or nasty comments? I admire your tenacity and dedication and how you've grown your audience and deepened your content over the last two or so years since I first started following you!
Wow, you're an early adopter! It's barely been two years. Somewhere I say that my objective in every video is to teach myself something new. That gave me something I was in complete control over, unlike views and opinions and algorithms.
Lately I've been losing some views and subs. I think the former is because I'm putting more out there. But that's okay, it just means I'm learning a lot and those are out there for the future. With the latter, I see it as refining my audience. I attract people with some and offend them with others. But those who stick around are able to apply the same principles to any topic.
I also get far more views when I'm criticizing someone, like Malone or Kennedy or Eisenstein. Controversy sells. My focus, however, is on challenging stories and systems, not people. That's a much harder sell, which is why I'm grateful for people like you who have the patience to delve in. I think of myself as talking to one person at a time, and you're an excellent person to be talking to!
You're so right, marta. The vast majority of conversations about my system end with, "But they'd never let us do that, so what's the point?" I'm skating that edge of insulting people by pointing out it's an adolescent response to just complain but not think through what solution you want. But I'm trying to wake us up out of that habit of helplessness. 'Collective belief clouds' what a great term!
"But they'd never let us do that..." So true - the inner adolescent who has given up fighting authority. We all need to activate our inner rebellious adolescent! But channel that rebelliousness into something productive and grounded.
I've found myself thinking about "how could this be more beautiful? What would it be like if each person was truly offering their best? What if this company had human good at the forefront?" It seems to me that's one way forward - each human growing up and taking responsibility for their imprint and impact. I like to think that's happening with all the B Corps and such. Or is that unrealistic optimism?
Well, you already know what I say. As long as the bankers own all of our houses and therefore labor, B Corps are rearranging Titanic deck chairs. I'm optimistic because if the system was changed, every person could truly offer their best and every company would have human good at the forefront. It's not human nature holding us back, it's the system.
great effort and 'stuff' marta. thank you for sharing.
i'm doing something similar too, having moved from great powerlessness to increased autonomy and embodied energy. yes, covid has been a great re-set, an opportunity for those reaching for personal integrity and strength to make it happen. all the best!
Thanks Guy! So wonderful to share this journey from powerlessness to something better, to the possibilities of how we might shine in this world! I love your words - increased autonomy and embodied energy. YES!
You got me thinking with your previous article and I now felt compelled to mention this. I created a 'book mention' rather than fill your comment section ...
"Manifesto for the Abolition of Enslavement to Interest on Money" - Gottfried Feder (1919)
Oh thank you for posting this. Ever since you told me that Feder was the economic strategist behind Hitler's reformation, I've been wanting to read him. And I'm sure my neighbors could hear my hoot of laughter to see you'd included the Czarina moniker ;-)
From the first chapter with his nine points, I can see that his plan and mine have significant overlap. However I think there are some important differences. In 1, 2, 4 and 5, he's talking about the state's ability to create its own money for its own internal affairs and labor, including war, without borrowing from bankers with interest. Yes! Particularly 4 when he says that all banking should be a function of government and 5 that only the state can issue credit against real estate. We differ in scale, since I think a top down structure still leads to corruption, but not in principle.
I differ with him on #3 that all mortgages should have no interest. When I bought my house 40 yrs ago, the interest rate was almost 20%. That kept the price low. As the interest rate goes down, the same monthly payment will pay off a debt that's double or triple. That's how they rig inflation. The house becomes more expensive, so it can't be paid off sooner, and the additional money put into circulation when everyone refinances raises the bidding war.
The only benefit of those higher prices goes to the seller of the house. It makes real estate a racket for the rich. Under my system, when the interest rate reaches 5% and stays there, it will distribute the benefit of mortgages almost equal to the principles to everyone within that commonwealth. So interest is actually a brilliant thing, which is why the bankers have used it to make themselves so powerful. Don't give up the tool and make yourselves powerless. Your purpose as a commonwealth is to enhance the true wealth in security and real assets of the villages, hamlets, neighborhoods and families within your borders.
Thanks again for this and for reading so closely and considering my ideas so deeply!
Tereza, I have been trying to catch up on so much these last few days. I wanted to respond to your first post on the subject of "Carets."
If we are serious about actually replacing the "System of Systems," we must first seek to construct our own with the direct intention of NOT using ANY of the current structural arrangements.
First Biggest issue I have is "Interest" of any kind. Please see the Thomas Edison quote below.
Second issue is the insistence of having a "Social Security System," anywhere similar to what we have now. I will never sign up for Social Security when I get to that age; I am currently in my mid 50's and I normally work as a contractor in San Diego. This town is EXPENSIVE! and getting worse. I have always reconciled that I will NEVER stop working; it keeps me alive to create and build. What I create, is the ACTUAL wealth I have, not the "money" that I earn for exchanging my labor. I just view the SS contribution as a straight up "tax" I will never see that money, just like other taxes that I've paid. You mention a 15% deduction for pension for social security; you call it "a sacred Trust," how would your version of the ss system be managed? Keeping in mind that anytime the system of money is managed by a centralized system, it creates the perfect environment for corruption to grow.
Third issue is the use of ANY kind of banking system, where there is some form of "Arbitrary Issuance of Credit."
Re-quote from "Caretology:" "“One shall rule behind, one shall govern in front.” I’m concerned not at all with the puppet governments in front. My concern is with the system of money that empowers the rulers behind, and how we can take that back."
I have really wanted to have a conversation with you in regards to exactly how the Trust System works today. Fiat paper is essentially what "Governs in Front" and the "Private Equity" is what "Rules Behind." Private Equity is the power of Allodial fee simple and Absolute Ownership. It's where the whole problem originates. It's impossible to explain this in simple terms in this comment section. Please read the 2 posts I did on this:
Intergranular describes how the "Double Headed Phoenix Heraldry" from Dragon Court outlines everything about the power structure. This is a Primer for the next one:
Corporate Chains shows a lot of diagrams as to exactly HOW the current system works and how it gets orchestrated, coordinated and driven by "Color of Law." Inside this post I have linked an important article from American Hypnotist about "Trusts" this is a must read:
https://badlands.substack.com/p/its-all-about-trust-law ..... If you go to the comment section it only has about 35 comments, but there is an important one I think everyone really should read from Bitter Root Services; I think he is a Trust Attorney who is divulging details that are mostly kept secret.
Some very powerful conversations there, important takeaway on "Trust:"
Ordinary slavery is to own the labor, but that carries with it the care for the laborer. Stakeholder Capitalism is for capital to control labor by controlling the wages. THIS CAN BE DONE BY CONTROLLING THE REAL MONEY, this money is tied up in the Trust System, and it is the Security that holds value to the fiat. It’s slavery re-imagined.
To fix it we must see:
There is a good reason for us to view The Individual People of any Nation as it’s True Treasure. First, lets consider that fact that Individuals are Skilled and have Knowledge; the older ones having seasoned Wisdom, no matter what era people are living in, it’s the Individuals who make EVERYTHING possible.
All commerce stems from value, that which is valued in a market place, is able to be purchased or compensated for. Individuals create objects of value such as: Ideas, Goods, and Services resulting from labor or effort. This is actually the Individual Sovereign Fruit; controlled exclusively by the Individual. This is why there should NEVER be a parameter for there to be "Eminent Domain," no controlling "legal authority" can control what you hold as "wealth."
The Caret system seems well intentioned, it almost looks like an inversion of the Trust System that exists today. Or maybe a version of Private Equity that operates in the Public Side of the Economic Trust; instead of the Private Side.
Thomas Edison, brilliantly said of the fraud of "private central banks:"
"People who will not turn a shovel full of dirt on the project nor contribute a pound of material, will collect more money from the United States than will the People who supply all the material and do all the work. This is the terrible thing about interest ...But here is the point: If the Nation can issue a dollar bond it can issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good makes the bill good also. The difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the money broker collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%. Whereas the currency, the honest sort provided by the Constitution pays nobody but those who contribute in some useful way. It is absurd to say our Country can issue Bonds and cannot issue Currency. Both are promises to pay, but one fattens the Usurer and the other helps the People. If the currency issued by the People were no good, then the bonds would be no good, either. It is a terrible situation when the Government, to insure the National Wealth, must go in debt and submit to ruinous interest charges at the hands of men who control the fictitious value of gold. [Fiat Paper]
[Edison makes an extremely important point here.]
He then adds:
"Look at it another way. If the Government issues bonds, the brokers will sell them. The bonds will be negotiable; they will be considered as gilt edged paper. Why? Because the government is behind them, but who is behind the Government? "The people." Therefore it is the people who constitute the basis of Government credit. Why then cannot the people have the benefit of their own gilt-edged credit by receiving non-interest bearing currency on Muscle Shoals, instead of the bankers receiving the benefit of the people's credit in interest-bearing bonds?"
-- Thomas A. Edison, New York Times, December 4, 1921
I love what you do Tereza, you have put an enormous amount of effort into bringing this discussion, I will try to post something on this. Not sure how soon I can get it done; I'm always buried up to my armpits in things.
What, you actually do a REAL job that makes REAL things happen in addition to all this reading, writing and research?!! I thought you had to be a [wo]man of leisure like me!
I thought I'd finally hit on a topic you had no thoughts on, but no ... Next time I'm in that expensive town of yours, where two of my daughters live, we need to have a meeting of the minds, embodied!
I'm going to follow this thread through for another episode, although I'm eager to post on that fascinating Robert Sepehr you sent and Rhonda's revelation that Noah's disenfranchised 'son' Ham is Hammurabi. Too much good stuff!
In that episode I'll respond more fully to this and your linked articles. I don't know if you read my response to Julius on Feder above? I think there are two things you're both conflating: that govts should issue currency without incurring interest on debts from bankers, and that individuals should borrow that money from the govts without interest. See above.
Second issue, there's an excellent book called The People's Pension that I quote in my book. It gives a history of how much changed when FDR instituted Frances Perkin's brilliant design. Before, people were entirely dependent on their children or the govt dole in old age, unless the husband had worked for a corporation with a pension plan--where he was stuck for the duration of his life. Social Security wasn't enough to live on, but it gave a base income that made the rest doable. People began to plan for retirement where before they just gave up.
Without any source of income, the system forces us to hoard as much as possible because you don't know what will happen or how much you'll need. I don't think it's natural that people should have to work until their dying day. Your work serves the community and makes things better for the next generation. It's only fair that that generation should return their gratitude by enabling you to live in security and comfort.
Third, banking isn't just A function of govt, it's THE most important function of govt. Govt decides what but economics determines how. As it stands, govt is useless for doing anything constructive because they don't have the ability to issue the credit for mortgages, which is the land-backed money as Ben Franklin said. And banks, who've usurped that power, are using it for personal gain.
So both govts and banks have a bad reputation because neither one is serving their true function. It's another part of their word spells that we can't talk about people deciding the rules by which they want to live together because the word govt has been poisoned and there's no alternative.
Eminent domain is another tool that's been used by the 'masters' for their purpose, but it's the purpose of 'power over' that we should reject, not the tool. Let's say that Nestle has come in and bought your water rights. Because that water is within your borders, you can use eminent domain to issue the dollars to claim it back. Those dollars become a caret debt to yourself, essentially meaningless. You can issue the carets to pay yourself back.
I completely agree with Edison, excellent quotes. He's talking about the fraud of private central banks, which is a contradiction in terms. He's not saying that the community as a whole shouldn't benefit every time a home changes hands. We should have the best of both worlds, the flexibility to move out of our parents' home but the enduring legacy of the built security that enables us to keep making things better for each generation.
There are plenty of well-intentioned systems, most of which I scorn ;-) A well-designed system can't be corrupted, no matter what the intentions of the people governing or using it. That's what I'm aiming for.
The main focus I think needs attention is the Trust System; this enables Private Equity to control Public Funds and Assets. If you check out the first diagram on the "Corporate Chains post, I think I made a fairly accurate illustration of how this works; though I'm still learning quite a bit. I do see your points on the above.
I would be delighted to have a meeting of the minds.
I want to cite one of Bitterroot Services' comments here in case Rhonda is reading this. She will love that un-a-lien-able meant there was no prior authority that could put a lien on your rights, but it got changed to in-alien-able rights, for whatever that means. And that birth certificate is under the Admiralty Law of the Sea for the berth where you were constructed! https://badlands.substack.com/p/its-all-about-trust-law/comment/41288688.
Really informative articles, Nef. I read them both and I think I'd read Intergranular before but it's so densely packed that another time through can only elucidate. I see your point about the Trust System. The question is where to start? If I, as an individual, challenge my birth certificate and revoke my citizenship, where does that get me? It seems like a hard sell to reach a critical mass.
If communities owned the mortgages and had the exclusive right to control the credit that paid them, there are enormous and tangible benefits for every individual. It takes really engaging with the system to get a sense of that, but what can be done is unlimited.
One decision to be made is whether you'd allow corporations to operate within your commonwealth, that are a conduit for personal gain with no potential for loss.
The system I'm talking about doesn't even need to be enacted to change everything. Just a group of people who know what they want and are talking about it, planning it, imagining it, working out the parameters--that would be enough to burst the bubble of complacency with what we have.
One question--what isn't a fiat currency? It's a discussion I've been having with William that gold and silver are still fiat and not at their use value, also speculative.
And yes on a meeting of the minds! I'll next be in SD in early May. There's a direct flight from there to BWI, where I fly into for my hometown AirBnB in Cumberland. So I go there first and spend a weekend visiting my daughters before I come here. But they'll have just seen me the weekend prior for my birthday, so I'm sure they'll leave me plenty of time to meet with other minds!
I'm replying to myself so it will reach both Rhonda and Nef (who should read my reply to Rhonda below for context). This just keeps getting crazier and more obvious! I did a search on Set the Egyptian god and found the Greek version is Seth and he's depicted as a dog theorized to come from the jackal. Brittanica:
"Originally Seth was a sky god, lord of the desert, master of storms, disorder, and warfare—in general, a trickster. Seth embodied the necessary and creative element of violence and disorder within the ordered world. The vicissitudes of his cult reflect the ambivalent attitude of the Egyptians toward him, as well as the shifting political fortunes of Egypt. During the 2nd dynasty (c. 2775–c. 2650 BCE), King Peribsen identified himself with Seth for the first time, giving himself a Seth title instead of the traditional Horus name. His successor, Khasekhemwy, gave both Horus and Seth equal prominence in his titulary, reflecting the mythical resolution of the two gods. During the rule of the Hyksos invaders (c. 1630–1521 BCE), Seth was worshipped at their capital, Avaris, in the northeastern Nile River delta, and was identified with the Canaanite storm god Baal. During the New Kingdom (1539–c. 1075 BCE), Seth was esteemed as a martial god who could sow discord among Egypt’s enemies. The Ramesside pharaohs (1292–c. 1075 BCE), originating in the northeastern delta, ranked him among the great gods of Egypt, used his name in their personal names (Seti I and Seti II, Setnakht), and promoted the image of Seth as the protector of Re in the prow of his bark, slaying Re’s enemy, Apopis. Seth also joined Amon, Re, and Ptah as the fourth of the principal gods of the cosmos."
So this gives us a timeframe for when the psychopathic story starts with the story that the Shemite lineage are the descendants of gods, specifically Seth the trickster jackal warlord of the desert. And note that Ramesside has two ss, that seems like something significant Rhonda's picked up on. I want to check out the specific Kings who first identified as Seth instead of or as well as Horus.
No doubt that you're right on Israel being Is Ra El, Rhonda.
I don't have much of a life, Tereza, other than studying, or family coming for Sunday dinner and slaving all day cooking and then ending up being so exhausted I didn't feel like eating. Lol. I just wanted to get back to my studies:)
As for Cain vs. Seth, and cui bono, I think Cain is possibly a switch of names (Seth's trickery), making us think the murderer/liar was supposedly destroyed in the flood. "They" do love to change their names, as well. Also, this "LORD" states that vengeance will be his if anyone tries to harm Cain, and then later he's stating that those that curse Israel, will be cursed and those that bless them/him will be blessed, which sounds like a threat to me. Also, Israel = Sailer (obsolete spelling of sailor, like Phoenicians / Noah).
So, Cain is "reborn" as Seth, and perhaps Jesus was originally Osiris, then Horus, then Abel then Jesus, returned / resurrected / reincarnated / re-membered like Osiris (word you used, and I loved:) - an "intercourser: "Resurrection = Intercourser." Then we have this:
Cain Abel = I Balance. (Perhaps via the scales of universal justice aka Karma = A Mark - like a mark was put upon Cain).
Seth Horus = Seth's Hour (his time).
It would seem we are constantly battling a balancing act of the good vs evil of ourselves, and if it gets too out of whack, we then allow it to be Seth's Hour. Further, "Messiah = Is Shame." Therefore, the Messiah in us is when we feel shame for allowing so many to suffer and things to get way off kilter, so perhaps, we better start repairing our "Immune System = Enemies Summit," so we can rebalance everything around us, and then the enemies can't conquer our summit/crown/top of our head like with the corona/crown virus and their injected poisons, not forgetting about the "spiked" (protein) crown of thorns put on Jesus's head??
Anyway, it is interesting about Seth and Egypt, and the Anubis/jackal. Tereza, didn't you say something about Abraham and the jackal, or something earlier about the jackal? I can't remember. Interesting as well, is that the jackal is a "Canine = En Cain." Anubis was also known as an embalmer, and in Gen. 50:2, it speaks about Joseph commanding the physicians to embalm Jacob/Israel.
Something else interesting about the name Hammurabi, is Ham-Ur-Rabi. Abraham was from the "Ur" of the Chaldees, and "Rabi" is like rabbi. I wonder if Hammurabi was a Sadducee.
Lastly, in the above quote, you mentioned the reconciliation of the two gods, Horus and Seth, which reminded me of the Roman two-headed god, Janus and this: "Jesus Satan = Seats/Sates Janus." What a tangled web this is!! It's like they're constantly changing the names, like Nef also pointed out.
Haha, yes, I'm watching and reading the comments, but had to catch up tonight:) I need to read Nef's links, as well.
Interesting about "Inalienable = In Abel A Lien." My mind immediately thought about corporate all-uppercase LORD God, who took over in Gen 2, and then Admiralty Law and the Phoenician shipping tycoon, Cain, who may have killed Abel's sovereignty, thereby making Abel the corporation's berthed/birthed, liened property. Now Cain doesn't have to be his "brother's keeper," as he claimed he wasn't, b/c the corporate LORD owns him under...
"Admiralty = Tidal Army." Perhaps "Title Army," as well.
So much to think about with this deep subject, seeing as it is the money system that has definitely enslaved all of us and is probably the most important problem, we all have.
So you and Nef both have a life. Fine! I'm the only one hanging on every reply ;-) jk. I did leave the house to take the garbage out yesterday.
With the Buy Bull, I think we should apply the principle of Cui Bono. Cain didn't benefit from that slander that he killed Abel. Seth did. He stole the inheritance, aka right to rule the world, from Cain because Cain is cursed to be disenfranchised but can't be killed.
Very interesting, in Abel a Lien. For Seth, isn't there a Set somewhere in Egyptian history? I'll post a note to Nef and see.
And Admiralty as Title Army, yes. And the significance of LORD God, yes. And the money system as the key to owning the land, YES.
You made a lot of excellent points. I do see that what you propose is more capable of being set up with the way things are now. It might be a good catalyst. Final balance would need to be a developmental process.
The main thing I have been trying to do is "expose" the whole system both public and private. I always thought if people could clearly see behind the curtains there could be something done. I had the optimism that if enough of the true structure was fully exposed, it could go viral; resulting in huge demand for some form of Nullification.
Politicians are the puppets, they won't really do anything.
It's not that you "revoke" the citizenship; that's just a piece of paper, nobody has ever been a piece of paper. The Sui Juris is a status that is naturally yours, nobody can ever surrender it.
We can combine many people's minds to come up possible solutions. I'm looking forward to working with you on this.
Thank you, Nef. My reaction when I heard how money is created was "That can't possibly be true. People would be up in arms." And I think that's usually the reaction and people reject it. If people were to see the potential of using the mortgage to back local exchange and get excited about it, and then found out the banks were already doing this for personal gain, I think it would expose the whole ruse. If we could do it, we win, if they didn't allow us to do it, we still win because it makes what you and I already know evident to everyone.
I mentioned you in a reply to Bitterroot and he wrote "In my opinion, Nefahotep is someone who has an understanding and a recognition of what is right and proper and what is wrong and a scam!" I tried to entice him to read these two articles to see whether the Trust system could be used to protect the commonwealth bank. We'll see if it works!
I'm generally of the opinion, the only legitimate reason for government is security, maintaining law and order, and protecting from trouble from outside the community. Otherwise let the people work it out.
Currency is a concern though, particularly with the decline of the dollar and the spectre of CBDC. I appreciate you spurring that conversation.
So I think one reason it’s hard to grasp your ideas is because we are all numbed to our potential and our real power. I know many people say this, but this is my growing wheelhouse- I can help un-numb people. If I can grow in my personal power, and I still have plenty of room for growth, then anyone can.
I’m making some videos about this, geared towards people interested in personal growth or who have performance anxiety, but they could be directed to all of us who feel overwhelmed by the world. I’m regularly taking my own medicine on this, so I can grow up too!
Healing from performance anxiety truly is possible:

marta, how great to get to see your beautiful face! And what an excellent and much needed message. I'm just a couple minutes in but I can see the value in them and I'll watch them in the morning. And yes, I think our expectations have been beaten down for our own power and the ability to reinvent our society. David Graeber talks about that in anthropology, that people took for granted that they could make their society over when it wasn't working the way they wanted. We feel that's impossible. I'm looking forward to taking your medicine ;-)
Thank you so much Tereza. Sharing my videos here is one step in my own empowerment. And I still have so much room to grow! But moving and growing towards empowerment sure does feel healthy and alive!
So fascinating that previous cultures knew they could remake their societies!
Another element I want to name, besides our own personal beliefs of feeling it's impossible, and that's the collective belief of "its impossible".
I'm practicing slipping out of collective belief clouds and when I can do it, its remarkable to feel my sovereign self and to feel grounded. The disempowering negative collective beliefs always pull me up and away from the earth.
I watched both of these this morning and wish I'd taken notes so I could remember everything that struck me as so significant. I loved the emphasis on sensitivity as a blessing and a curse (in my words), and knowing that you have a gift--whoever you are--that the world needs. Purpose, and finding yours. The cautioning voice within as something to treat kindly and neither take to heart nor belittle, its intention to protect you is good just mistaken.
And especially that all the terrible and just mundanely bad things happening to others affects us. Of course, if we're all One, we can't escape that. It's why people who don't want to know about what's happening are actually hit worst of all because they already, at some level, are assuming the worst and hiding from it.

Excellent coaching and I'm in awe of your ability to just speak to the camera in one long take! Thank you, marta.
Oh gosh, Tereza, I'm so grateful for your kind words! And thank you for watching my videos! I'm inspired by your generosity of time, attention, and comments. I'm both having fun making them and on the curious path about how to grow this aspect of myself. I had major anxiety for years and years, so being on the other side of it, in a way that doesn't bypass the anxious scared parts, is beyond a relief, and its a growing passion to be of assistance.
I like that angle that we are all One, so of course we're feeling all the garbage that's out there.
How did you deal with your fears of putting yourself out there? How do you deal with pushback or criticism or nasty comments? I admire your tenacity and dedication and how you've grown your audience and deepened your content over the last two or so years since I first started following you!
Wow, you're an early adopter! It's barely been two years. Somewhere I say that my objective in every video is to teach myself something new. That gave me something I was in complete control over, unlike views and opinions and algorithms.
Lately I've been losing some views and subs. I think the former is because I'm putting more out there. But that's okay, it just means I'm learning a lot and those are out there for the future. With the latter, I see it as refining my audience. I attract people with some and offend them with others. But those who stick around are able to apply the same principles to any topic.
I also get far more views when I'm criticizing someone, like Malone or Kennedy or Eisenstein. Controversy sells. My focus, however, is on challenging stories and systems, not people. That's a much harder sell, which is why I'm grateful for people like you who have the patience to delve in. I think of myself as talking to one person at a time, and you're an excellent person to be talking to!
You're so right, marta. The vast majority of conversations about my system end with, "But they'd never let us do that, so what's the point?" I'm skating that edge of insulting people by pointing out it's an adolescent response to just complain but not think through what solution you want. But I'm trying to wake us up out of that habit of helplessness. 'Collective belief clouds' what a great term!
"But they'd never let us do that..." So true - the inner adolescent who has given up fighting authority. We all need to activate our inner rebellious adolescent! But channel that rebelliousness into something productive and grounded.
I've found myself thinking about "how could this be more beautiful? What would it be like if each person was truly offering their best? What if this company had human good at the forefront?" It seems to me that's one way forward - each human growing up and taking responsibility for their imprint and impact. I like to think that's happening with all the B Corps and such. Or is that unrealistic optimism?
Well, you already know what I say. As long as the bankers own all of our houses and therefore labor, B Corps are rearranging Titanic deck chairs. I'm optimistic because if the system was changed, every person could truly offer their best and every company would have human good at the forefront. It's not human nature holding us back, it's the system.
great effort and 'stuff' marta. thank you for sharing.
i'm doing something similar too, having moved from great powerlessness to increased autonomy and embodied energy. yes, covid has been a great re-set, an opportunity for those reaching for personal integrity and strength to make it happen. all the best!
Thanks Guy! So wonderful to share this journey from powerlessness to something better, to the possibilities of how we might shine in this world! I love your words - increased autonomy and embodied energy. YES!
You got me thinking with your previous article and I now felt compelled to mention this. I created a 'book mention' rather than fill your comment section ...
"Manifesto for the Abolition of Enslavement to Interest on Money" - Gottfried Feder (1919)
https://juliusskoolafish.substack.com/p/manifesto-for-the-abolition-of-enslavement
Oh thank you for posting this. Ever since you told me that Feder was the economic strategist behind Hitler's reformation, I've been wanting to read him. And I'm sure my neighbors could hear my hoot of laughter to see you'd included the Czarina moniker ;-)
From the first chapter with his nine points, I can see that his plan and mine have significant overlap. However I think there are some important differences. In 1, 2, 4 and 5, he's talking about the state's ability to create its own money for its own internal affairs and labor, including war, without borrowing from bankers with interest. Yes! Particularly 4 when he says that all banking should be a function of government and 5 that only the state can issue credit against real estate. We differ in scale, since I think a top down structure still leads to corruption, but not in principle.
I differ with him on #3 that all mortgages should have no interest. When I bought my house 40 yrs ago, the interest rate was almost 20%. That kept the price low. As the interest rate goes down, the same monthly payment will pay off a debt that's double or triple. That's how they rig inflation. The house becomes more expensive, so it can't be paid off sooner, and the additional money put into circulation when everyone refinances raises the bidding war.
The only benefit of those higher prices goes to the seller of the house. It makes real estate a racket for the rich. Under my system, when the interest rate reaches 5% and stays there, it will distribute the benefit of mortgages almost equal to the principles to everyone within that commonwealth. So interest is actually a brilliant thing, which is why the bankers have used it to make themselves so powerful. Don't give up the tool and make yourselves powerless. Your purpose as a commonwealth is to enhance the true wealth in security and real assets of the villages, hamlets, neighborhoods and families within your borders.
Thanks again for this and for reading so closely and considering my ideas so deeply!
Interesting read.
Tereza, I have been trying to catch up on so much these last few days. I wanted to respond to your first post on the subject of "Carets."
If we are serious about actually replacing the "System of Systems," we must first seek to construct our own with the direct intention of NOT using ANY of the current structural arrangements.
First Biggest issue I have is "Interest" of any kind. Please see the Thomas Edison quote below.
Second issue is the insistence of having a "Social Security System," anywhere similar to what we have now. I will never sign up for Social Security when I get to that age; I am currently in my mid 50's and I normally work as a contractor in San Diego. This town is EXPENSIVE! and getting worse. I have always reconciled that I will NEVER stop working; it keeps me alive to create and build. What I create, is the ACTUAL wealth I have, not the "money" that I earn for exchanging my labor. I just view the SS contribution as a straight up "tax" I will never see that money, just like other taxes that I've paid. You mention a 15% deduction for pension for social security; you call it "a sacred Trust," how would your version of the ss system be managed? Keeping in mind that anytime the system of money is managed by a centralized system, it creates the perfect environment for corruption to grow.
Third issue is the use of ANY kind of banking system, where there is some form of "Arbitrary Issuance of Credit."
Re-quote from "Caretology:" "“One shall rule behind, one shall govern in front.” I’m concerned not at all with the puppet governments in front. My concern is with the system of money that empowers the rulers behind, and how we can take that back."
I have really wanted to have a conversation with you in regards to exactly how the Trust System works today. Fiat paper is essentially what "Governs in Front" and the "Private Equity" is what "Rules Behind." Private Equity is the power of Allodial fee simple and Absolute Ownership. It's where the whole problem originates. It's impossible to explain this in simple terms in this comment section. Please read the 2 posts I did on this:
https://nefahotep.substack.com/p/intergranular-corruption-and-how
Intergranular describes how the "Double Headed Phoenix Heraldry" from Dragon Court outlines everything about the power structure. This is a Primer for the next one:
https://nefahotep.substack.com/p/corporate-chains-of-custody-illustrate
Corporate Chains shows a lot of diagrams as to exactly HOW the current system works and how it gets orchestrated, coordinated and driven by "Color of Law." Inside this post I have linked an important article from American Hypnotist about "Trusts" this is a must read:
https://badlands.substack.com/p/its-all-about-trust-law ..... If you go to the comment section it only has about 35 comments, but there is an important one I think everyone really should read from Bitter Root Services; I think he is a Trust Attorney who is divulging details that are mostly kept secret.
Some very powerful conversations there, important takeaway on "Trust:"
Ordinary slavery is to own the labor, but that carries with it the care for the laborer. Stakeholder Capitalism is for capital to control labor by controlling the wages. THIS CAN BE DONE BY CONTROLLING THE REAL MONEY, this money is tied up in the Trust System, and it is the Security that holds value to the fiat. It’s slavery re-imagined.
To fix it we must see:
There is a good reason for us to view The Individual People of any Nation as it’s True Treasure. First, lets consider that fact that Individuals are Skilled and have Knowledge; the older ones having seasoned Wisdom, no matter what era people are living in, it’s the Individuals who make EVERYTHING possible.
All commerce stems from value, that which is valued in a market place, is able to be purchased or compensated for. Individuals create objects of value such as: Ideas, Goods, and Services resulting from labor or effort. This is actually the Individual Sovereign Fruit; controlled exclusively by the Individual. This is why there should NEVER be a parameter for there to be "Eminent Domain," no controlling "legal authority" can control what you hold as "wealth."
The Caret system seems well intentioned, it almost looks like an inversion of the Trust System that exists today. Or maybe a version of Private Equity that operates in the Public Side of the Economic Trust; instead of the Private Side.
Thomas Edison, brilliantly said of the fraud of "private central banks:"
"People who will not turn a shovel full of dirt on the project nor contribute a pound of material, will collect more money from the United States than will the People who supply all the material and do all the work. This is the terrible thing about interest ...But here is the point: If the Nation can issue a dollar bond it can issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good makes the bill good also. The difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the money broker collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%. Whereas the currency, the honest sort provided by the Constitution pays nobody but those who contribute in some useful way. It is absurd to say our Country can issue Bonds and cannot issue Currency. Both are promises to pay, but one fattens the Usurer and the other helps the People. If the currency issued by the People were no good, then the bonds would be no good, either. It is a terrible situation when the Government, to insure the National Wealth, must go in debt and submit to ruinous interest charges at the hands of men who control the fictitious value of gold. [Fiat Paper]
[Edison makes an extremely important point here.]
He then adds:
"Look at it another way. If the Government issues bonds, the brokers will sell them. The bonds will be negotiable; they will be considered as gilt edged paper. Why? Because the government is behind them, but who is behind the Government? "The people." Therefore it is the people who constitute the basis of Government credit. Why then cannot the people have the benefit of their own gilt-edged credit by receiving non-interest bearing currency on Muscle Shoals, instead of the bankers receiving the benefit of the people's credit in interest-bearing bonds?"
-- Thomas A. Edison, New York Times, December 4, 1921
I love what you do Tereza, you have put an enormous amount of effort into bringing this discussion, I will try to post something on this. Not sure how soon I can get it done; I'm always buried up to my armpits in things.
What, you actually do a REAL job that makes REAL things happen in addition to all this reading, writing and research?!! I thought you had to be a [wo]man of leisure like me!
I thought I'd finally hit on a topic you had no thoughts on, but no ... Next time I'm in that expensive town of yours, where two of my daughters live, we need to have a meeting of the minds, embodied!
I'm going to follow this thread through for another episode, although I'm eager to post on that fascinating Robert Sepehr you sent and Rhonda's revelation that Noah's disenfranchised 'son' Ham is Hammurabi. Too much good stuff!
In that episode I'll respond more fully to this and your linked articles. I don't know if you read my response to Julius on Feder above? I think there are two things you're both conflating: that govts should issue currency without incurring interest on debts from bankers, and that individuals should borrow that money from the govts without interest. See above.
Second issue, there's an excellent book called The People's Pension that I quote in my book. It gives a history of how much changed when FDR instituted Frances Perkin's brilliant design. Before, people were entirely dependent on their children or the govt dole in old age, unless the husband had worked for a corporation with a pension plan--where he was stuck for the duration of his life. Social Security wasn't enough to live on, but it gave a base income that made the rest doable. People began to plan for retirement where before they just gave up.
Without any source of income, the system forces us to hoard as much as possible because you don't know what will happen or how much you'll need. I don't think it's natural that people should have to work until their dying day. Your work serves the community and makes things better for the next generation. It's only fair that that generation should return their gratitude by enabling you to live in security and comfort.
Third, banking isn't just A function of govt, it's THE most important function of govt. Govt decides what but economics determines how. As it stands, govt is useless for doing anything constructive because they don't have the ability to issue the credit for mortgages, which is the land-backed money as Ben Franklin said. And banks, who've usurped that power, are using it for personal gain.
So both govts and banks have a bad reputation because neither one is serving their true function. It's another part of their word spells that we can't talk about people deciding the rules by which they want to live together because the word govt has been poisoned and there's no alternative.
Eminent domain is another tool that's been used by the 'masters' for their purpose, but it's the purpose of 'power over' that we should reject, not the tool. Let's say that Nestle has come in and bought your water rights. Because that water is within your borders, you can use eminent domain to issue the dollars to claim it back. Those dollars become a caret debt to yourself, essentially meaningless. You can issue the carets to pay yourself back.
I completely agree with Edison, excellent quotes. He's talking about the fraud of private central banks, which is a contradiction in terms. He's not saying that the community as a whole shouldn't benefit every time a home changes hands. We should have the best of both worlds, the flexibility to move out of our parents' home but the enduring legacy of the built security that enables us to keep making things better for each generation.
There are plenty of well-intentioned systems, most of which I scorn ;-) A well-designed system can't be corrupted, no matter what the intentions of the people governing or using it. That's what I'm aiming for.
The main focus I think needs attention is the Trust System; this enables Private Equity to control Public Funds and Assets. If you check out the first diagram on the "Corporate Chains post, I think I made a fairly accurate illustration of how this works; though I'm still learning quite a bit. I do see your points on the above.
I would be delighted to have a meeting of the minds.
I want to cite one of Bitterroot Services' comments here in case Rhonda is reading this. She will love that un-a-lien-able meant there was no prior authority that could put a lien on your rights, but it got changed to in-alien-able rights, for whatever that means. And that birth certificate is under the Admiralty Law of the Sea for the berth where you were constructed! https://badlands.substack.com/p/its-all-about-trust-law/comment/41288688.
Really informative articles, Nef. I read them both and I think I'd read Intergranular before but it's so densely packed that another time through can only elucidate. I see your point about the Trust System. The question is where to start? If I, as an individual, challenge my birth certificate and revoke my citizenship, where does that get me? It seems like a hard sell to reach a critical mass.
If communities owned the mortgages and had the exclusive right to control the credit that paid them, there are enormous and tangible benefits for every individual. It takes really engaging with the system to get a sense of that, but what can be done is unlimited.
One decision to be made is whether you'd allow corporations to operate within your commonwealth, that are a conduit for personal gain with no potential for loss.
The system I'm talking about doesn't even need to be enacted to change everything. Just a group of people who know what they want and are talking about it, planning it, imagining it, working out the parameters--that would be enough to burst the bubble of complacency with what we have.
One question--what isn't a fiat currency? It's a discussion I've been having with William that gold and silver are still fiat and not at their use value, also speculative.
And yes on a meeting of the minds! I'll next be in SD in early May. There's a direct flight from there to BWI, where I fly into for my hometown AirBnB in Cumberland. So I go there first and spend a weekend visiting my daughters before I come here. But they'll have just seen me the weekend prior for my birthday, so I'm sure they'll leave me plenty of time to meet with other minds!
I'm replying to myself so it will reach both Rhonda and Nef (who should read my reply to Rhonda below for context). This just keeps getting crazier and more obvious! I did a search on Set the Egyptian god and found the Greek version is Seth and he's depicted as a dog theorized to come from the jackal. Brittanica:
"Originally Seth was a sky god, lord of the desert, master of storms, disorder, and warfare—in general, a trickster. Seth embodied the necessary and creative element of violence and disorder within the ordered world. The vicissitudes of his cult reflect the ambivalent attitude of the Egyptians toward him, as well as the shifting political fortunes of Egypt. During the 2nd dynasty (c. 2775–c. 2650 BCE), King Peribsen identified himself with Seth for the first time, giving himself a Seth title instead of the traditional Horus name. His successor, Khasekhemwy, gave both Horus and Seth equal prominence in his titulary, reflecting the mythical resolution of the two gods. During the rule of the Hyksos invaders (c. 1630–1521 BCE), Seth was worshipped at their capital, Avaris, in the northeastern Nile River delta, and was identified with the Canaanite storm god Baal. During the New Kingdom (1539–c. 1075 BCE), Seth was esteemed as a martial god who could sow discord among Egypt’s enemies. The Ramesside pharaohs (1292–c. 1075 BCE), originating in the northeastern delta, ranked him among the great gods of Egypt, used his name in their personal names (Seti I and Seti II, Setnakht), and promoted the image of Seth as the protector of Re in the prow of his bark, slaying Re’s enemy, Apopis. Seth also joined Amon, Re, and Ptah as the fourth of the principal gods of the cosmos."
So this gives us a timeframe for when the psychopathic story starts with the story that the Shemite lineage are the descendants of gods, specifically Seth the trickster jackal warlord of the desert. And note that Ramesside has two ss, that seems like something significant Rhonda's picked up on. I want to check out the specific Kings who first identified as Seth instead of or as well as Horus.
No doubt that you're right on Israel being Is Ra El, Rhonda.
I don't have much of a life, Tereza, other than studying, or family coming for Sunday dinner and slaving all day cooking and then ending up being so exhausted I didn't feel like eating. Lol. I just wanted to get back to my studies:)
As for Cain vs. Seth, and cui bono, I think Cain is possibly a switch of names (Seth's trickery), making us think the murderer/liar was supposedly destroyed in the flood. "They" do love to change their names, as well. Also, this "LORD" states that vengeance will be his if anyone tries to harm Cain, and then later he's stating that those that curse Israel, will be cursed and those that bless them/him will be blessed, which sounds like a threat to me. Also, Israel = Sailer (obsolete spelling of sailor, like Phoenicians / Noah).
So, Cain is "reborn" as Seth, and perhaps Jesus was originally Osiris, then Horus, then Abel then Jesus, returned / resurrected / reincarnated / re-membered like Osiris (word you used, and I loved:) - an "intercourser: "Resurrection = Intercourser." Then we have this:
Cain Abel = I Balance. (Perhaps via the scales of universal justice aka Karma = A Mark - like a mark was put upon Cain).
Seth Horus = Seth's Hour (his time).
It would seem we are constantly battling a balancing act of the good vs evil of ourselves, and if it gets too out of whack, we then allow it to be Seth's Hour. Further, "Messiah = Is Shame." Therefore, the Messiah in us is when we feel shame for allowing so many to suffer and things to get way off kilter, so perhaps, we better start repairing our "Immune System = Enemies Summit," so we can rebalance everything around us, and then the enemies can't conquer our summit/crown/top of our head like with the corona/crown virus and their injected poisons, not forgetting about the "spiked" (protein) crown of thorns put on Jesus's head??
Anyway, it is interesting about Seth and Egypt, and the Anubis/jackal. Tereza, didn't you say something about Abraham and the jackal, or something earlier about the jackal? I can't remember. Interesting as well, is that the jackal is a "Canine = En Cain." Anubis was also known as an embalmer, and in Gen. 50:2, it speaks about Joseph commanding the physicians to embalm Jacob/Israel.
Something else interesting about the name Hammurabi, is Ham-Ur-Rabi. Abraham was from the "Ur" of the Chaldees, and "Rabi" is like rabbi. I wonder if Hammurabi was a Sadducee.
Lastly, in the above quote, you mentioned the reconciliation of the two gods, Horus and Seth, which reminded me of the Roman two-headed god, Janus and this: "Jesus Satan = Seats/Sates Janus." What a tangled web this is!! It's like they're constantly changing the names, like Nef also pointed out.
I've had this up in my tabs since you posted and read it many times but forgot to hit like! Like! Like, like, like!
Haha, yes, I'm watching and reading the comments, but had to catch up tonight:) I need to read Nef's links, as well.
Interesting about "Inalienable = In Abel A Lien." My mind immediately thought about corporate all-uppercase LORD God, who took over in Gen 2, and then Admiralty Law and the Phoenician shipping tycoon, Cain, who may have killed Abel's sovereignty, thereby making Abel the corporation's berthed/birthed, liened property. Now Cain doesn't have to be his "brother's keeper," as he claimed he wasn't, b/c the corporate LORD owns him under...
"Admiralty = Tidal Army." Perhaps "Title Army," as well.
So much to think about with this deep subject, seeing as it is the money system that has definitely enslaved all of us and is probably the most important problem, we all have.
So you and Nef both have a life. Fine! I'm the only one hanging on every reply ;-) jk. I did leave the house to take the garbage out yesterday.
With the Buy Bull, I think we should apply the principle of Cui Bono. Cain didn't benefit from that slander that he killed Abel. Seth did. He stole the inheritance, aka right to rule the world, from Cain because Cain is cursed to be disenfranchised but can't be killed.
Very interesting, in Abel a Lien. For Seth, isn't there a Set somewhere in Egyptian history? I'll post a note to Nef and see.
And Admiralty as Title Army, yes. And the significance of LORD God, yes. And the money system as the key to owning the land, YES.
You made a lot of excellent points. I do see that what you propose is more capable of being set up with the way things are now. It might be a good catalyst. Final balance would need to be a developmental process.
The main thing I have been trying to do is "expose" the whole system both public and private. I always thought if people could clearly see behind the curtains there could be something done. I had the optimism that if enough of the true structure was fully exposed, it could go viral; resulting in huge demand for some form of Nullification.
Politicians are the puppets, they won't really do anything.
It's not that you "revoke" the citizenship; that's just a piece of paper, nobody has ever been a piece of paper. The Sui Juris is a status that is naturally yours, nobody can ever surrender it.
We can combine many people's minds to come up possible solutions. I'm looking forward to working with you on this.
Thank you, Nef. My reaction when I heard how money is created was "That can't possibly be true. People would be up in arms." And I think that's usually the reaction and people reject it. If people were to see the potential of using the mortgage to back local exchange and get excited about it, and then found out the banks were already doing this for personal gain, I think it would expose the whole ruse. If we could do it, we win, if they didn't allow us to do it, we still win because it makes what you and I already know evident to everyone.
I mentioned you in a reply to Bitterroot and he wrote "In my opinion, Nefahotep is someone who has an understanding and a recognition of what is right and proper and what is wrong and a scam!" I tried to entice him to read these two articles to see whether the Trust system could be used to protect the commonwealth bank. We'll see if it works!
I just love Bitter Root. I admire his precision in what he says.
You're right about the exposure aspect, once there's no hiding the details...... I wonder what happens after.
hola, tereza. great discussion. thank you.
Thanks for the shout out.
I'm generally of the opinion, the only legitimate reason for government is security, maintaining law and order, and protecting from trouble from outside the community. Otherwise let the people work it out.
Currency is a concern though, particularly with the decline of the dollar and the spectre of CBDC. I appreciate you spurring that conversation.
I think I get this caret system a bit now, thanks.
