Self-knowledge is the highest value, as @_yerasimos says, and I couldn’t agree more. With courage, we can integrate our shadows and become our unique selves. Synthesizing it through diverse tools becomes a path towards truth. Go check this beautiful conversation with @joelrafidi and Yerasimos from @areyouhereforthetruth #humandesing #jungianshadowwork #evolutionaryastrology at MonikaBravo.blog

Grammar has power, so do logic and rhetoric. Learn your grammar, for its structural reasoning is the architecture of lawful thought. Together, they form the original trivium—> the foundation of law and philosophy. Grammar expresses relationship, logic orders it, and rhetoric gives it resonance. So here we go. These are grammar capsules.👇 The Body as Property under Law Under Natural Law and Common Law, property begins with the body and its faculties. John Locke, whose Second Treatise on Government shaped the Declaration of Independence, wrote: “Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has any right to but himself.” From this premise, life, liberty, and property form a trinity—>life as the source of liberty, liberty as the expression of property. Any law or mandate that compels medical treatment, bodily submission, or biometric surrender without consent or due process constitutes a taking of private property under Natural and Common Law. The Fifth Amendment states*: “Nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.” Interpreted fully, this applies to any forced use or invasion of the body; the first and highest form of property. Statutory Law, which operates as public policy rather than higher law, separates bodily autonomy from property, allowing coercion under “police powers” (Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11, 1905). This creates the central divide: 👀👇 Natural / Common Law: The body is sacred property; consent is absolute. Statutory / Public Policy: The body may be regulated under a “compelling state interest.” This boundary defines the private and the public. The body is the first property right, and any act imposed without informed consent is a trespass against both property and liberty. Universal Principle Natural Law predates all governments. It forms the foundation of the Anglo-American system and remains valid in the United States, England, Canada, and Australia. Its principles are universal: You own your body, labor, and capacity to act. Consent is the precondition for any lawful claim upon your person. Violation of bodily autonomy is trespass upon property and liberty. Common Law in all these nations upholds this doctrine. The principle in Schloendorff v. Society of New York Hospital (1914) affirms that “Every human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body.” In England, the Human Rights Act (1998) enforces this under Article 8, and in Australia, Rogers v. Whitaker (1992) 175 CLR 479 affirms bodily integrity and informed consent. The Modern Conflict Across jurisdictions, public policy statutes; health, emergency, or biosecurity acts create temporary administrative authority to override consent under “compelling state interest.” Thus: Private Law: Consent-based, rooted in property and liberty. Public Law: Permission-based, regulating subjects. Basically The principle of the body as property is universal. Every human being holds an inherent right of self-ownership and bodily autonomy. No law, statute, or administrative order can lawfully compel an act upon the body without informed consent; except by presumed consent under statutory jurisdiction, which can and must be rebutted. *The Constitution recognizes certain rights; it does not create them. Lawful order exists to acknowledge what already belongs to life itself.

Sacred -> sacrifice > offering Full episode here with Joel and yerasimos from here for the truth

Excited to share this episode! I really loved the conversation. Joel + Yerasimos have such an incredible community, an ease and depth in dialogue that allowed my whole range of themes to unfold naturally. I truly appreciated that flow. here for the truth :::::: In this episode, we dive into the extraordinary life and mind of multidisciplinary artist and philosopher Monika Bravo — a woman whose journey spans continents, paradigms, and dimensions. From her early years in Colombia and Greece to three decades of public art installations around the world, Monika shares how her path of self-education, intuitive inquiry, and disillusionment with institutional systems led her toward synthesis — bridging art, philosophy, Austrian economics, and consciousness. We explore her experience surviving 9/11, her rejection of indoctrination in favor of true education, her awakening to Bitcoin as a state of consciousness, and her vision for a civilization grounded in value, truth, and individual sovereignty.

📊 Bitcoin Technical Analyst One of my wishes is to become a proficient Bitcoin technical analyst by studying and specializing in Ichimoku structure, Gann time cycles, and volume analysis, with the intention to develop a personal view on how the market is breathing. My background in astrological and Human Design chart reading gives me a unique perspective, as I naturally think in cycles, geometrical patterns, harmonics, and multi-timeframe relationships. This translates into strong pattern recognition and synthesis across different analytical methods, allowing me to see confluences others might miss. For entertainment purposes only. Value is subjective.

In the Middle Ages, lawfulness meant alignment with natural and customary law; taxation was lawful only by consent, for the common good, and within moral limits. Common law affirms that property rests in natural right, government power arises from consent, and any exaction without lawful authority is void. The essay Why Taxes Were So Hated in the Middle Ages from the Mises Institute reminds us that modern taxation rests not on lawfulness but on legality, a system of power that replaced consent with authority. In other words, it traces the transition from lawful order to legal power, allowing the reader to recognize that modern systems operate by statute rather than by natural law. “During the Middle Ages, taxation was considered to be appropriate only as an extreme measure in times of emergency, and as a last resort. Kings were expected to subsist on revenues from their own property, and to respect the property of others.” — Mises Wire, Why Taxes Were So Hated in the Middle Ages, Ryan McMaken. https://mises.org/mises-wire/why-taxes-were-so-hated-middle-ages

Wise take from the tower position; I observe and discern Thanks bob Core vs knots 👀👇

Taking time to discern Slow pace reveals the fog that brings chaos. As it dissolves in time, shape re-emerges, along with a smile from within my heart that is called clarity. // As the slow pace, fog, and emerging shape mirror Saturn’s demand for structure within Neptune’s Pisces dissolution, to discipline to see through illusion, the smile from within the heart called clarity reflects the emotional integration that comes from Saturn’s re-entering in Pisces before its conjunction to Neptune in Aries. It is a wave that finds an equilibrium. It is the essence of a cycle of patience, surrender, form rising from the mist. It is subtle but exact. Anyone attuned to the current sky will feel the resonance. Pluto 60.6 Neptune 25.3 Earth 51.3 Saturn 36.5 Venus 6.4 Mars 44.6 Pluto holds the limit that demands both discipline and innovation, shaping pressure into form. Neptune calls for sensibility and the spiritual power to remain open while making a channel with the Earth, which electrifies awakening through initiation. Saturn anchors endurance in the underground, showing that true survival is found through experience, not escape. Venus creates an emotional channel seeking to harmonize the field and union into peace devoid of reaction. Mars embodies aloofness as wisdom, the vision that sees the whole without falling into entanglement. Together these positions weave one message to stay steady as structure meets dissolution, to let clarity rise through sensation, and to allow form to be reborn through equilibrium. Astrologícal + human design insights:

On this uncut clip, I humorously added a byline where I express my real thoughts that were not shared during the interview, but now I am sharing them with you. This does not diminish in any way the project I created for the University of Texas; rather, it runs parallel to what was really happening when I moved to Miami Beach and began investing time and resources in studying the history of money, Bitcoin, and Austrian economics. I just want to share that. Landmarks stories: @landmarksut @richardcarpen

Astrology allows me to observe without taking sides, without assuming a position. I’m not aligning myself with rhetoric or excusing behavior. What I see is a man in pain. That is what the documentary showed me: the humane part of him. I think it’s fascinating to understand Neptune in Pisces — how the line between reality and projection blurs, how the media and hypnotic suggestion via a heavily medicated population shape collective perception. I’m speaking about a soul that has had the ability to dive deep into his own creativity, his genius, to put out things that are wonderful and unique. He has received validation from the crowd, built immense wealth, and shaped culture itself for a time, yet beneath that success there remains the fragility of not feeling truly seen or valued by his peers. His connection to his truth still feels more important than all the billions or external acceptance, and perhaps that very vulnerability has been the drive behind his genius. KanYe’s story mirrors our collective Neptune in Pisces experience, when inspiration, delusion, fame, and faith all blend into one field of projection. On October 17th Neptune goes back to Pisces for ninety days, and we will feel the last bit of this illusion from the 2010s and early 2020s. One decade and a half, my friends. This has been a long road from schizophrenia to liberation, and it is up to each of us to find our own genius, to have the courage to move through creativity in a way that speaks our individual truth. And perhaps this is what the film left me with: that truth itself is not absolute; it is the living presence of each individual perspective. Which brings me to Here for the Truth. We are seeing the psychological cost of the influencer age, the confusion between visibility and value, between projection and presence; what once felt like connection became a hall of mirrors.( View article →

👇👆 Here’s a small clip from the uncut version, produced by @landmarksut and @richardcarpen , who filmed this beautiful piece while I speak to Andreé Bober about An Interval of Time (2020), a time-based digital work commissioned by Landmarks for The University of Texas at Austin. Begun in 2010, it traces the evolution of my practice and personal development through the past decade, reflecting my interests in the metaphysical, the spiritual, and the scientific, and how they intertwine. The year 2020 invited us to deepen observation. Through An Interval of Time I brought together my many interests to create a lyrical work where layers reveal the infinite, an ode to planet Earth. My practice now moves as one with my inner development. I no longer seek truth; I create from synthesis. I embody my vision through environments for public spaces, through readings that reveal purpose, and through talks, writings, podcasts and workshops that extend this dialogue.

So it’s about getting back to instinct, getting back to quietude, so I can actually perceive things with my senses, not my mind. The mind is very important to use only what is needed, using logic, but everything else that is going to allow me to sustain my life has to come from internal relationships. We are also beginning the annual journey of the Sun through the splenic gates in Human Design, a six-week passage that activates our instinct, our fears, and our intuition. This is the cycle where the body teaches us how to trust our senses to understand where we are. It begins with Gate 18, the drive to correct and improve, the place where sight knows when something is off. It then moves to Gate 48, the well of solutions, where the fear of inadequacy lives, again through sight discerning whether there is enough depth. Gate 57 carries the fear of the future, yet here intuition sharpens as clear hearing. Gate 32 holds the fear of failure, preserving what endures through instinct. Gate 50 brings the fear of responsibility, shaping the values that sustain community. Gate 28 touches the fear of life being meaningless, awakening the struggle for purpose. Finally, Gate 44 holds the fear of the past repeating, an instinct that calls on memory and recognition. This is the terrain the Sun is moving through right now, week by week drawing us deeper into the spleen, where instinct becomes intuition and fear reveals itself as awareness. View article →

Getting real 👀👇 So in short: the U.S. has been issuing passports since 1789, but they became mandatory for foreign travel only in the early 20th century. Do you know that a citizen of the United States of American can chose to get a "non-US Citizen" passport but still get a passport that's a citizen of the United States of America? The two are not the same thing but most people have no idea they volunteer to be a U.S. citizen slave.
