Sometimes they listened to me, and then flipped and went ahead as if I did not exist, not hearing or seeing me.  What I came to realize, is that a vacancy was created for the position of Trustee for NAME, that sounds like mine, when I made it clear that I was not acting as or for NAME.  This is why, when the Judge asked for a plea in 2022, and I offered <em><strong>&#8220;I am guilty to the facts Judge&#8221;</strong></em>, He, the Judge, declined my offer and turned to the clerk and told her to enter a plea of NOT GUILTY.  He was acting as and for NAME as Trustee.  Very importantly, there are a number of elements that are all attached to NAME, such as SIN# (SSN), Bond Numbers on Birth Certificates, accounts held at the DTCC, accounts at the local Bank, Vehicles and other property that is Registered, Court cases and filings, charges, School Records, Health Records, Mortgages, Credit of all kinds, etc.; pretty much anything that One would interpret as &#8220;Official&#8221;.  If I discontinue acting as or for NAME, as trustee, what happens to that Trust which encompasses all of the &#8220;attachments&#8221; I just described?</p><div><hr></div><pre><code><code>When One is in the moment of stress or danger, sometimes things go by pretty quickly and remain unnoticed until later reviewed upon further reflection.  I hadn&#8217;t taken the time until now, to consider why the judge did not accept my plea.  I chalked it up to what others had told me about the Judge not being able to hear or see me as a man, from within the jurisdiction of the Corporate Court.  I consider now that He participated with me, asked me questions, responded to the comments and questions I was asking. So why did he not jump on the plea of guilty, handing down whatever order could have been appropriate for the charges?  He stated that he was in possession of my filings and that he had not read them and did not have to read them.  Why could he not just make his ruling and slam down the gavel with the guilty plea, handing over whatever penalty was described for the offence?  I had made clear, both in those filings, as well as verbally, and in deed, by my performance in not contracting or agreeing with him, that I was not volunteering to act as or for NAME.  The charges were against NAME, and I wasn&#8217;t having it.  If anyone is questioning the validity that each such an One has the power in their voice, actions, and volition to determine the capacity under which One stands, please consider what happened that day.

This is to say: the Judge accepted my standing as a man, choosing to not act as or for NAME.  I, the man, could not be attached to any order by the Court.  I believe that the normal outcome of a guilty plea in this case, would be an order by the Court to not drive a vehicle without a license, and if found doing so, a charge of contempt of Court could be issued, bypassing all "traffic and driving" issues, with possible jail time resulting.</code></code></pre><div><hr></div><p>When my mother died in 2013, I was one of four executors of Her estate.  The NAME based on her name, was still in existence, doing business, paying bills, filing tax returns, etc.  Us four Executors, another more specific name for Trustees, were acting as and for that Trust, an ongoing legal entity.  A trustee, by its very nature and definition, has a fiduciary duty to the Beneficiary.  In simpler terms, any and all Trustee&#8217;s must look out for the Beneficiary, do the best they can to follow the terms of the Trust, consider what is best for the Beneficiary, and then act as and for the Trust.  In the case of my mother&#8217;s &#8220;Will&#8221;, which was a specified Trust, I, together with my siblings were all named as both Beneficiaries and Executors.  Normally in a Trust, One cannot act as both Trustee and Beneficiary, however in this case there were both multiple Beneficiaries and Trustees.   In an <a href="https://lawjournal.mcgill.ca/article/understanding-fiduciary-duties-and-relationship-fiduciarity/">article from a Law Journal</a> on describing and defining the position of Fiduciary, I minced it down to this:</p><ul><li><p><em>&#8220; &#8230; imposing strict duties on fiduciaries, including, importantly, requiring fiduciaries to act honestly, selflessly, with integrity, and in the best interests of their beneficiaries.<a href="https://lawjournal.mcgill.ca/article/understanding-fiduciary-duties-and-relationship-fiduciarity/#_ftn30">[30]</a> The standard of care required of fiduciaries is the utmost good faith. As a result of this high standard and fiduciaries&#8217; requirement of selflessness, fiduciaries may not benefit themselves or third parties at the expense of their beneficiaries&#8217; interests that are tangibly related to the fiduciary nature of the parties&#8217; interaction.&#8221;</em></p></li></ul><p>Drawing together a few points regarding: trustee, fiduciary, beneficiary, grantor, and trusts in general.  The Judge as described above, took on the duty of trustee, for the Trust that is NAME.  Now he, as Trustee, took on a fiduciary duty to the beneficiary of the trust.  So who&#8217;s interests would he be required to show &#8220;<em>utmost good faith&#8221;  </em>towards?  Who is the beneficiary of the NAME trust?  I will posit, from my research and observed real life experience: that the beneficiary is the BANK (and by BANK, I mean the IMF, International Banks that loan to Countries, as well as the Bonds sold; be forewarned, there is a Beneficiary to the bankruptcies, and it is not you and I, do your own research).  I have detailed bankruptcy and specifically bankruptcy of nations, in my post linked below.</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;b19338a2-1a59-435e-8d82-cc7b1742fc5e&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:&quot;Read full story&quot;,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;showDescription&quot;:true,&quot;showImage&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;sm&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;ALL your Money?&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:129100431,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Arlen Paul&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;When you know yourselves,  then you will be known,\nand you will understand that you are children of the living father.\nBut if you do not know yourselves,\nthen you dwell in poverty and you are poverty.&quot;,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c1afd102-8cad-42eb-835a-5a1e40edc02f_144x144.png&quot;,&quot;is_guest&quot;:false,&quot;bestseller_tier&quot;:null}],&quot;post_date&quot;:&quot;2023-03-13T19:36:08.010Z&quot;,&quot;cover_image&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DJtb!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbad1c7f6-aeb5-4f8c-815c-3cdeb7fe5261_2048x1536.jpeg&quot;,&quot;cover_image_alt&quot;:null,&quot;canonical_url&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/p/all-your-money&quot;,&quot;section_name&quot;:null,&quot;video_upload_id&quot;:null,&quot;id&quot;:107210479,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;newsletter&quot;,&quot;reaction_count&quot;:0,&quot;comment_count&quot;:0,&quot;publication_id&quot;:1412610,&quot;publication_name&quot;:&quot;Arlen&#8217;s Substack&quot;,&quot;publication_logo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!WtM2!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc1afd102-8cad-42eb-835a-5a1e40edc02f_144x144.png&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;youtube_url&quot;:null,&quot;show_links&quot;:null,&quot;feed_url&quot;:null}"></div><p>The Bank is the beneficiary because of the bankruptcy that all of the CORPORATOCRACY is operating under and within.  Whereas the people, or each individual such an One, <em><strong>may</strong></em> be the beneficiary of the NAME trust in its origins, however, with the converted and inverted status of &#8220;operating in bankruptcy&#8221;, any and all gain by the NAME (trust) must flow to the bankruptcy trustee to service his beneficiary, THE BANK!  The Trustee&#8217;s fiduciary responsibility is to the BANK, not the man.  This status as debtor, is cemented with the title and standing of CITIZEN.  When One stands as or for the CITIZEN, they have volunteered to act as surety for the debt of the &#8220;city&#8221;/nation that NAME is attached to; <em>&#8220;inhabitant of a country&#8221;</em>. <em>(Again, this is getting complex and there are many pieces to put together.  USA, CANADA, GERMANY, etc, are all in ongoing international bankruptcy, thus putting all those who agree to act as CITIZENs as surety for the bankrupt corporation!)</em></p><p>Back to the Monopoly example I outlined in my <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/ressurrection-by-de-termination-pt?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&amp;utm_medium=web">previous post</a>;  with Mom in the Kitchen and little Billy moving the pieces and rolling the dice.  Mom, is the sovereign consciousness that is directing Billy to act as and for her on the Monopoly gameboard.  Billy acts as directed by Mom&#8217;s will and intention, to play the game in whichever way she desires.  Mom through her experience playing Monopoly, buys up the best properties and puts hotels on them, thus whenever another player lands on her property, they must pay the rent.  Billy, acting as and for Mom, collects the rent and the &#8220;player&#8221; has gain/income/money.  This is where the game Monopoly aligns to what we think is the &#8220;Real World&#8221;.  We work, we acquire skills or property, and with that work/time utilizing those skills or property, we create gain/income/increase.  In &#8220;Real Life&#8221;, each such an One, views themselves as the &#8220;player&#8221; in the game Monopoly.  The thing is, if we volunteer to act as or for NAME, we <strong>are</strong> playing a game, that of CORPORATOCRACY.</p><p>What has been so deftly accomplished by the drafters of documents like the ICCPR, is that another entity has been inserted into the position of beneficiary.  We think that we are working for and benefiting ourselves or our family when we use our creative energy to cause gain and increase.  The invisible contract that the ICCPR, among others, forms, with agreement by you, is that you will forfeit all &#8212; ALL &#8212; of or your rights, efforts, income, benefit, freedom, growth, and assets, over to NAME.  Wherein, the operating in bankruptcy status, puts the BANK as beneficiary of all of those things we think are ours.  The bankruptcy trustee, in his capacity of fiduciary to the BANK, must maximize the benefit and increase to the beneficiary.  This is where a delicate balance is maintained, with the Citizenry and the rules of the gameboard, &#8220;CORPORATOCRACY&#8221;, set up so that the slave is given enough latitude and movement, such that he does not know that he is enslaved, is a bondservant, bound by contract, living in debtors prison; all the while, with seemingly invisible bars.</p><div><hr></div><h3>~ A Trust &#8212; and The Father</h3><p>For anything to be considered a Trust, there must be four components:  a Grantor sometimes called a Settlor, a Trustee or Trustees (the One who does all the work), a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries, and the property/res or residue.  We all are beneficiaries of the greatest Trust that there ever has been: Redemption!  The Father is the Grantor, he set up the situation whereby, as his emissary <em>(diplomatic agent)</em>, Jesus came to live among us as a man <em>(in a foreign territory/international - as in earth and heaven</em> <em>)</em> , as our teacher and ultimately as sacrifice.  What Jesus layed down in the Gospels, the terms of the Trust are defined.  Jesus, following those terms, selflessly gave himself for the benefit of me; and you; and everyone that has ever lived or will ever live; the perfect fiduciary.  The terms of that Trust are that each such an One, can benefit and receive what is promised, the &#8220;property&#8221;/value/res of the Trust: everlasting life, via the redemption that is provided by the Trustee, the Fiduciary, Jesus.  This is proffered, and will only occur when One reaches out and takes what is available through repentance and acceptance; choosing The Father (this is the proffer).</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!gncd!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F904bc125-ed19-48c3-b46c-f2ea4c6033fb_517x160.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!gncd!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_424, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F904bc125-ed19-48c3-b46c-f2ea4c6033fb_517x160.jpeg 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!gncd!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_848, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F904bc125-ed19-48c3-b46c-f2ea4c6033fb_517x160.jpeg 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!gncd!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F904bc125-ed19-48c3-b46c-f2ea4c6033fb_517x160.jpeg 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!gncd!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F904bc125-ed19-48c3-b46c-f2ea4c6033fb_517x160.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!gncd!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F904bc125-ed19-48c3-b46c-f2ea4c6033fb_517x160.jpeg" width="517" height="160" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/904bc125-ed19-48c3-b46c-f2ea4c6033fb_517x160.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:160,&quot;width&quot;:517,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:40426,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/i/162819303?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F904bc125-ed19-48c3-b46c-f2ea4c6033fb_517x160.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!gncd!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_424, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F904bc125-ed19-48c3-b46c-f2ea4c6033fb_517x160.jpeg 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!gncd!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_848, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F904bc125-ed19-48c3-b46c-f2ea4c6033fb_517x160.jpeg 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!gncd!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F904bc125-ed19-48c3-b46c-f2ea4c6033fb_517x160.jpeg 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!gncd!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F904bc125-ed19-48c3-b46c-f2ea4c6033fb_517x160.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Black&#8217;s Law 4th Edition</figcaption></figure></div><div><hr></div><h3>~ So what I see shaping up here is the following:</h3><ol><li><p>Each such an One is sovereign, from their first breath to forever, this I call One&#8217;s true self.

By inverting the parties listed above we are going to invert the value, benefit, and equitable ownership of everything that is attached to NAME.  This is achieved by the same technique that They use.  When They created the Trust/NAME, that One then attaches oneself to; by thought, word, and deed/performance; They have given legal authority to the volunteer, as Trustee, the One who acts as and for NAME.</p><ol><li><p>What was 4, above, is now 1.  NAME/PERSON which is not you or yours, but One has volunteered to act as Trustee for, is going to create a Specified Trust as Grantor/Settlor.  Wherein, all right,  benefit, and interest (equitable ownership) to any property attached to NAME, everything on the gameboard that is attached to NAME that has value, is going to be transferred into a new Trust as the &#8220;property/res/value&#8221;, held and legally owned by a Trustee named by NAME.  The sovereign, the man/woman is named as Beneficiary of the Trust.  This action is possible, as, on the gameboard the AUTHORITIES have already accepted your re-presentation as and for NAME. Giving you authority, acting as and for NAME on the gameboard, to create this Trust. <em>(To put it into simpler terms; can I, acting as and for NAME, draw up a Trust wherein I transfer all right and interest that I may hold to property of any kind that is registered and titled and held by NAME on the gameboard, naming a foreign sovereign, like King Charles, as the Beneficiary?  Think inter - national law.  The sovereign, the true self, you; are in another nation, and like King Charles, are a separate entity from both NAME and the Trustee which is a requirement in the formation of a Trust.)</em></p></li><li><p>The CORPORATOCRACY (the moneychangers/pharisees in the temple) are bound by their own decree!  ICCPR 18.1, which They wrote, demands adherance to each such an One&#8217;s &#8220;conviction and faith&#8221;.  So when One creates the directive, that One is acting as and for NAME, and wishes to transfer all right of ownership and benefit to another party: a sovereign in another  jurisdiction, that wish must be respected; Lawfully and Legally on the CORPORATOCRACY gameboard.</p></li><li><p>The Diplomatic Agent is specified in the Trust to act as Trustee with a Fiduciary relationship to the Beneficiary, the sovereign, the true self/man standing outside the bankrupt nation.  Thus eliminating the bond, or bankruptcy, tethered to the Citizen/NAME.  Any contract/debt that is owed by NAME, must be settled first.  One could not buy up a bunch of Ferraris or Apartment buildings on loans and then transfer the title over to another, even if they were outside of the CORPORATOCRACY.  The current International bankruptcy leaves all titled and registered property as collateral against that debt, that is the purpose of separating you, the man, from the Title or Registration.  You, the man, are not the Legal owner of the property, the NAME is and thus can gift/grant/settle it to a Trust as the res/property.</p></li><li><p>The Sovereign, then stands in another jurisdiction.  Truly as its own nation with its boundaries being your consciousness, energetic influence; perhaps the margins of your physical body, or . . . ??  Holding the position of Beneficiary in the Trust.</p></li></ol><div><hr></div><p>I wish to do more work on this one.  If anyone has ideas, I&#8217;d be happy to hear.  What we need is a Trustee to operate and act in One&#8217;s best interest.  As I mentioned just above, a fiduciary.  And further, any Trust which lacks for a Trustee, will be serviced by the court.  I guess the trepidation that I experience on this one, is that the court has a judge, which sits behind the bench, which is the Bank; what can One expect?</p><p>To be continued

I implore you Dear Reader, to take a few minutes and remind yourself, by re-reading part 1, of the details that are further developed in this second proffering.  It is looking like this topic is not going to be summed up in just 2 parts.  I endeavour to get part 3 out in a more timely fashion, so that you can connect the dots presented in the different parts more easily.  Thank you for your time and consideration.</em></p><div><hr></div><h3>~ Continuing from my last <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/resurrection-operating-as-a-living">post</a> &#8230; </h3><p></p><p>We, each such an One, have opportunity to learn how to navigate and sail, or perhaps learn a new dance, to interact in the capacity of sovereign with the Corporate, with - or as - an International Agent.  In other words, build a way to sever the ties to the corporate fiction, but maintain the benefits One chooses.  If &#8212; One <em><strong>quashes</strong></em> the following assumption, that:  &#8212; &#8220;I <em><strong>volunteer</strong></em> to act as or for and <em><strong>perform</strong></em> in the duties and agreements attached to <strong>NAME,</strong> and am therefore <em><strong>under</strong></em> the authority of the Authorities&#8221; &#8212;  then &#8212;  One can create relationship by acting through another party  from outside Their Corporate jurisdiction.  </p><p></p><h4>~ Sounds complicated, right?  </h4><h4>                                           Let&#8217;s break it down</h4><p>In the game Monopoly, there is the game board, the pieces, the money, the rules, and the players.  Only the rules of the game, as outlined in the agreement the players volunteer to follow, control and affect the &#8220;law&#8221; of the game.  Who can do what, when, how, etc.  Imagine now if you will: while all the kids are sitting down to play Monopoly in the family room, Mom is making supper in the kitchen.  Mom asks to play, where five year old Billy, who knows nothing about such grown up and complicated games as Monopoly, agrees to act as Mom&#8217;s agent, so that she, working in the kitchen, can direct Billy to play, in the family room, as she sees fit.  How do we do this, in relation to the Corporatocracy?  Where One can stand in a different jurisdiction and capacity, and direct an agent as their representative.  The kitchen and the family room are different jurisdictions; inter-national.  The rules and way of the kitchen are not the same as the family room.  Mom is the sovereign of the kitchen, the supreme leader who controls this space and operation as she wishes, in her kitchen, she is the sovereign Queen.  The game board is yet another nation/jurisdiction with its own set of rules and rights.  So Billy becomes her diplomat to interact <em><strong>&#8220;at the court of a foreign government&#8221;</strong></em>, the game board is that <em><strong>&#8220;court&#8221;</strong></em>.  Mom never steps foot on the Monopoly gameboard, she never touches a piece or holds the money, but her wishes and directives are being carried out by her agent. <em>( A slightly coloured version of this same relationship of &#8220;agent - in relation to - principal&#8221;; &#8220;Billy - in relation to  - Mom&#8221;; is when a lawyer re - presents you in court.  The lawyer can answer as or for you. )</em></p><p>If you don&#8217;t already know, that the CIA weaponized the term &#8220;<em>conspiracy theory&#8221;  </em>in answer to any alternate viewpoint of the JFK assassination, and you are reading this post, I would be very surprised.  It is not a surprise to me, that this weaponization of terms, executed by media and government, has been used to quell quite a number of little tidbits revealing what is actually the truth.  The most recent Covid 19 hysteria, with the made up notion that, &#8220;They&#8221;, the Authorities, can say whatever They want, and it must be deemed &#8220;truth&#8221;.  And that, anyone who raises questions or disagrees, and God forbid, tells anyone else about it, can be designated as, and perhaps charged with the crime of, <strong>misinformation</strong>.  The word &#8220;science&#8221;, shifted from describing something where rigour was required in the pursuit of facts, to becoming whatever Anthony Fauci, Teresa Tam, or Bill Gates simply said in a press conference, and anyone disagreeing with those statements was called or attached to some kind of conspiracy.  The <em><strong>vilification</strong></em> of  anyone who strayed from the official narrative was the weapon.  So too, it is with the word sovereign.  Back in the 90s and early aughts, the widespread incrimination of those that were attempting to free themselves from the Corporatocracy, were so attacked and the word &#8220;sovereign&#8221; was weaponized.  Particularly with the impossibility of connecting two disparate words, <strong>sovereign</strong> and <strong>citizen</strong>, to lambaste anyone who attempted to stand, as a man, outside Their Corporate jurisdiction.  Sovereign is the exact word to describe what One is, or at least can be; and the ICCPR together with Human Rights Declarations, Criminal Codes, Bills of Rights, etc. lays down how anyone can resurrect that status of true sovereign, and, should they so choose, act within Their Corporate jurisdiction via an agent.</p><p>All of those documents, codes, covenants, declarations, etc.; that have been drafted and ratified are the rules on the gameboard within this jurisdiction; that of the Corporatocracy.  Everyone that I know, is playing in this game and moving pieces around the board, using the funny money, and following the rules as outlined by those codes and covenants.  With some consciousness raising, education, and due diligence, One has the ability, which is what I am working on, to extract One&#8217;s self out of that jurisdiction.  When I am behind the wheel of the contraption that is most often called a motor vehicle, on the highway motivating myself along with the go pedal and some diesel fuel (commonly called driving) on the way into the town known as Athabasca.  I will go into a store (place of commerce) where I interact with others and exchange the funny money for groceries or supplies, what have you.  I have been able to establish, that whilst traveling, I am not in Canada or Alberta.  I have established with the CRA (IRS) that my goings on and exchanges are outside of Their jurisdiction.  On our farm, I even go so far as to mix up animal feed, which the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, CFIA, believes should put me into Their jurisdiction and under Their authority, at least if I &#8220;sell&#8221; it to someone else.  Here is a question for you Dear Reader: if I travel over to South Africa, to visit a subscriber, taking my Canadian Dollars, and while going to a market in Bhisho, a vendor accepts my "CDN funny money&#8221; in exchange for a hat; has a taxable event taken place?  Now, for the vendor, she may be acting fully within the jurisdiction of Eastern Cape and South Africa and file that sale as income at the current exchange rate, CDN to Rand, that is entirely up to her.  Did I engage in anything to do with the CRA, because I used Their funny money?  As I have the awareness that I can act outside of <em>Their</em>, either <em>Canada&#8217;s</em> or <em>South Africa&#8217;s</em>, jurisdiction; and that, I am standing acting as a child of The Father, and that I act with full sovereign authority over myself (not as or for NAME), and also that I can hold either of the Governments and Courts to the account of the ICCPR and other codes &#8212;  then &#8212; I can choose to remain in neither jurisdiction and thereby not engage in any taxable event as it pertains to me.  All this, just to get a new hat!!</p><div><hr></div><h4><code>They will assume that all of these actions or actors and any and all exchanges are within Their jurisdiction and must submit to Their authority ~ unless or until ~ One has rebutted this assumption by thought, word, and deed.</code></h4><div><hr></div><p>NAME must submit, TAXPAYER must submit,  MISTER must submit, Tax ID # must submit, Registered Corporation must submit, CANADA must submit, ALBERTA must submit, and CITIZEN must submit.  All of the above named parties are on the gameboard of CORPORATOCRACY; titled registered entities, acting as or performing for, CORPORATIONS.</p><div><hr></div><h3>~ More on Hats</h3><p>More questions: is it possible for me to own more than one hat?  Can I take one off and exchange it for another?  Can I play a little trick and wear more than one hat at a time?  If hats signified a &#8220;position&#8221; or &#8220;status&#8221;, could I take off my status/hat of CITIZEN?  Could I travel down the road in my contraption as &#8220;sovereign without hat&#8221;, as who I am and what God made me to be requires no status or position?  And then, agree to engage in commercial trade, get up onto the gameboard Corporatocracy putting on a hat of Driver (for hire), and in so doing, agree to flip out a license if stopped by the Authorities; and then after my work is done, remove the Driver&#8217;s hat and jump back into my private contraption as sovereign once again?  The most significant part of the above list of queries is, who decides which hat you are putting on or wearing at any given moment?  Does someone else have authority to tell you which hat you must wear?  Or if you MUST wear one at all?</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Yy0p!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6c710db5-93e8-44e8-ab59-bb67e6a8eadb_660x133.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Yy0p!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_424, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6c710db5-93e8-44e8-ab59-bb67e6a8eadb_660x133.png 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Yy0p!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_848, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6c710db5-93e8-44e8-ab59-bb67e6a8eadb_660x133.png 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Yy0p!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6c710db5-93e8-44e8-ab59-bb67e6a8eadb_660x133.png 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Yy0p!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6c710db5-93e8-44e8-ab59-bb67e6a8eadb_660x133.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Yy0p!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6c710db5-93e8-44e8-ab59-bb67e6a8eadb_660x133.png" width="728" height="146.7030303030303" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6c710db5-93e8-44e8-ab59-bb67e6a8eadb_660x133.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:133,&quot;width&quot;:660,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:728,&quot;bytes&quot;:29119,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/i/162819303?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6c710db5-93e8-44e8-ab59-bb67e6a8eadb_660x133.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Yy0p!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_424, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6c710db5-93e8-44e8-ab59-bb67e6a8eadb_660x133.png 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Yy0p!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_848, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6c710db5-93e8-44e8-ab59-bb67e6a8eadb_660x133.png 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Yy0p!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6c710db5-93e8-44e8-ab59-bb67e6a8eadb_660x133.png 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Yy0p!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6c710db5-93e8-44e8-ab59-bb67e6a8eadb_660x133.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">ICCPR</figcaption></figure></div><p>So in answer to the question of who determines which hat you wear, or if you wear one at all, according to the ICCPR - rules of the game Corporatocracy,  <em>&#8220;1.1.  All peoples have the right of self - determination &#8230;&#8221;</em>  You my Dear Reader, are the only one who decides which hat you put on your head.  You are THE GOVERNMENT in this case, <strong>govern</strong>or<em> </em>of your <strong>ment</strong>al and political status and condition.</p><p></p><div><hr></div><h3>~ Resurrection DIY</h3><p>The life, death, and <strong>renascence</strong>, of not only the man, but also the spirit, is a process as I mentioned above, of thought, word, and deed.  Jesus taught us, that until One comes to The Father, through him, that One is dead.  The walking dead.  That is the spiritual side of the coin.  Renascence, <em><strong>&#8220;be born again&#8221;</strong></em>, is accomplished by One&#8217;s self, no One else can do it for you.  Choosing God and accepting The Lamb of God&#8217;s sacrifice for your sin, wipes the debt (<em>death)</em> and brings you back to life ( <em><strong>a second or new birth </strong></em>).  God has proffered his gift of redemption to you, but you only get it by accepting and taking it.  The ICCPR in Article 1.1 expresses that same concept, that <em>all peoples freely determine their political status</em>.  No one else can do this for you either.  You determine your political status.  Self-determination is the means by which One resurrects their <em><strong>self</strong></em>  politically.  You de - terminate.  One can choose to <em><strong>not terminate!   </strong></em>This is the first Article and point of the ICCPR, top of the list.  Scroll up and read 1.1 again. And then again.  And continue until you internalize it.   It lays the ground work for everything else that follows.  If One does <em><strong>not</strong></em> choose<em><strong>,</strong></em> to <em><strong>de</strong></em> - terminate (double negative creates a positive) then they have agreed that they are dead, terminated; their will has been subjugated to the rule and code of the dead, the Corporate, placing One&#8217;s self as the walking dead legal fiction, person, Citizen.  This justifies Their assumption of you being in the Corporate jurisdiction.  Like choosing The Father, One must choose and act,  politically speaking as well.  <strong>A non choice, in either case, brings death</strong>.</p><ul><li><p><em>I wish to be crystal about this spiritual re-birth thing.  It is not possible for me to redeem myself.  There is nothing that I can ever do, to wipe the slate, to be worthy of the love and grace that abounds, or the forgiveness that The Father proffers.  It is only, by the blood sacrifice of His Son, our Redeemer, that I can be cleansed and brought back to life.  However; it is completely a DIY situation.  The choice to accept, to take what has been proffered, is ONLY on me!  I must stand in the defendant&#8217;s box, guilty as charged, the sinner, and choose to accept and take what He has presented to me, redemption and renascence.</em></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3>~ Satan offers and God proffers</h3><p>The minds behind this document, the ICCPR, knew exactly what they were doing when they drafted it.  I discussed in my previous post that <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/156866197/proffer-vs-offer">acquiescence</a>, no response, forms agreement to an <strong>offer</strong>.  And that no response to a <strong>proffer</strong> is deemed refusal, the exact opposite situation.  Think back to my reference of a &#8220;terms of service&#8221; agreement, wherein doing nothing establishes agreement.  The way in which Article 1.1 is drafted has put each such an One in the position, that, <em><strong>&#8220;self - determination&#8221;  </strong></em>means that One must act to express or manifest their <em><strong>&#8220;political status&#8221; </strong></em>.   Which then means, One&#8217;s status, of Corporate Citizen/NAME can be assumed by Authorities, unless One actively rebuts or refuses the offer.</p><ul><li><p><em>Cynthia keeps on me, that I need to simplify some of the concepts that I am putting forward.  We don&#8217;t talk in these terms in &#8220;normal&#8221; life and it is difficult to mold our brains and consciousness to assimilate new terms and concepts.  This one in Article 1.1 can be simplified to this: if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then politically speaking; it <strong>is</strong> a duck.  If we open a bank account, carry a driver&#8217;s license, sign up to vote and participate in the Corporatocracy, then One <strong>is </strong>a Corporate fiction/NAME.</em></p></li></ul><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RuG1!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F275ed470-cc32-4a61-8c6d-c89f73b64faa_657x152.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RuG1!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_424, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F275ed470-cc32-4a61-8c6d-c89f73b64faa_657x152.png 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RuG1!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_848, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F275ed470-cc32-4a61-8c6d-c89f73b64faa_657x152.png 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RuG1!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F275ed470-cc32-4a61-8c6d-c89f73b64faa_657x152.png 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RuG1!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F275ed470-cc32-4a61-8c6d-c89f73b64faa_657x152.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RuG1!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F275ed470-cc32-4a61-8c6d-c89f73b64faa_657x152.png" width="728" height="168.4261796042618" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/275ed470-cc32-4a61-8c6d-c89f73b64faa_657x152.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:152,&quot;width&quot;:657,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:728,&quot;bytes&quot;:18787,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/i/162819303?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F275ed470-cc32-4a61-8c6d-c89f73b64faa_657x152.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RuG1!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_424, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F275ed470-cc32-4a61-8c6d-c89f73b64faa_657x152.png 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RuG1!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_848, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F275ed470-cc32-4a61-8c6d-c89f73b64faa_657x152.png 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RuG1!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F275ed470-cc32-4a61-8c6d-c89f73b64faa_657x152.png 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RuG1!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F275ed470-cc32-4a61-8c6d-c89f73b64faa_657x152.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">ICCPR</figcaption></figure></div><p>Do you see what They have done here?

Commerce - and commerce of the soul, are walking the exact same walk.  A proffer is given.  One must act to accept.  In 1.1, your political status is brought to life by you, by your thought, word, and deed.  If you do not choose to possess and act in your capacity of sovereign, then you are relegated to the subjugation of the Corporate.  Giving you the status of the dead corporate fiction, without internal authority and consciousness.  Likewise, God proffers renascence to you, if you do not actively, with intent, choose to come to him, by and through His Son, Jesus the Christ, then by default, you will be in Satan&#8217;s possession, held by your own determination.</p><div><hr></div><p>To be continued &#8230;</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

It&#8217;s hard to think about, and hard to ingest with a lifetime&#8217;s programming and assumptions that make it seem unreal.  Like in the image directly above, the delineation line is very clear to see, it is the <strong>shoreline</strong>, where it switches from real to reflection: from land to sea.  Finding that delineation line in the world of: legal, lawful, truth, manipulation, goodness, living, dead, etc. takes time and consideration.  Your true self exists, God made it.

As well, there was a gamut of the freedom minded people looking for both more information on diverse topics, as well as seeking to connect in the interests of community consciousness.  What I&#8217;m really describing in that last sentence, is that One often feels alone when we wake up to what is really going on in the world, and that this get together provided a touchstone for those looking for community and to see that &#8220;I am not crazy, or alone&#8221;.  As this event was endeavouring to be held in the &#8220;Private&#8221;, each attendee had to agree to the terms of the event, and were noticed that it was not open to, or in any way, &#8220;Public&#8221;!</em></p><p><em>And this is where I was reminded about what I commented on in a recent post &#8220;<a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/the-road-to-perdition">The Road to Perdition</a>&#8221;, where <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/145476274/it-is-us-we-the-people-who-are-failing-our-father-not-our-governments-who-are-failing-us-countries-have-signedratified-the-iccpr-which-clearly-gives-all-of-gods-children-the-ability-to-adhere-to-ones-faith-and-convictions">I touch on the specifics of Article 18.1 of the ICCPR</a> (International Covenant on Civil and Political Relations).  What I am on about here, is the meaningfulness of the ability to operate, to create standing, in both the Private and the Public.  The organizers of the conference that we attended, were attempting to create &#8220;standing&#8221; in the Private alone, which all attendees and vendors had to agree to, in order to enter and participate.</em></p><ul><li><p><em>There is a word that is tricky to get under your belt: &#8220;standing&#8221;.  Although this word has a simple and literal iteration where it describes the difference between sitting or kneeling, vs. &#8220;standing&#8221;.  Sitting or kneeling being a lower elevation of the self; compared to - standing.  Now there are several things that go along with this word and concept that overlap into psychological frameworks, as well as legal determinations: as to whether or not One has &#8220;standing&#8221;, regarding a matter or question at law?  Standing denotes: strength, truth, merit, respect, consideration must be given to, or <strong>claim </strong>!  So this is a very important word and meaning with regard to all things as they relate to the position of who One is, or is attempting to be seen and regarded as: Citizen, Taxpayer, Driver, Voter, Sovereign, man, Owner, Holder, Slave, Property, Chattel, etc.</em></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h4>~ United Nations ICCPR</h4><h4>Article 18: 1. Every<em><strong>one</strong></em> shall have the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This right shall include freedom to have or to adopt a religion or belief of his choice, and freedom, either <em><strong>individually</strong></em> or in <em><strong>community</strong></em> with others and in <em><strong>public</strong></em> or <em><strong>private</strong></em>, to manifest his religion or belief in worship, observance, practice and teaching. </h4><p></p><p> So what is your belief or religion about who you are?  What freedom of: thought, conscience, and religion are you practicing and manifesting?  One does not have to have the Bible in hand and the ability to recite off verse by verse to define the knowledge and/or possess the right to the standing and claim that: &#8220;I am created by The (or at least, a) Creator.  I am <em><strong>not</strong></em> created or authorized by a Government, a Corporation, or any entity that is created by Man&#8221;.  Men create governments.  Men Register Corporations.  It is not a chicken or egg question!  It takes a man, to create a government or corporation.  Full stop:  So, who or what created this notion that the &#8220;Authorities&#8221; have any authority at all !?!?</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GCcl!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6a11dc8d-ac2f-4f74-b84e-c7fb73983325_517x160.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GCcl!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_424, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6a11dc8d-ac2f-4f74-b84e-c7fb73983325_517x160.jpeg 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GCcl!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_848, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6a11dc8d-ac2f-4f74-b84e-c7fb73983325_517x160.jpeg 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GCcl!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6a11dc8d-ac2f-4f74-b84e-c7fb73983325_517x160.jpeg 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GCcl!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6a11dc8d-ac2f-4f74-b84e-c7fb73983325_517x160.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GCcl!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6a11dc8d-ac2f-4f74-b84e-c7fb73983325_517x160.jpeg" width="728" height="225.29980657640232" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6a11dc8d-ac2f-4f74-b84e-c7fb73983325_517x160.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:160,&quot;width&quot;:517,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:728,&quot;bytes&quot;:40426,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/i/156866197?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6a11dc8d-ac2f-4f74-b84e-c7fb73983325_517x160.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GCcl!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_424, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6a11dc8d-ac2f-4f74-b84e-c7fb73983325_517x160.jpeg 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GCcl!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_848, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6a11dc8d-ac2f-4f74-b84e-c7fb73983325_517x160.jpeg 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GCcl!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6a11dc8d-ac2f-4f74-b84e-c7fb73983325_517x160.jpeg 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GCcl!, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/arlenp.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6a11dc8d-ac2f-4f74-b84e-c7fb73983325_517x160.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Black&#8217;s Law Dictionary 2nd Edition  ~  So who are you?

Thus subjugation of One&#8217;s standing, our true self, and rights proffered to us from The Creator, transferring One&#8217;s authority to the Authorities.  <em>(Please, if you are new to my posts or this concept, go back into my previous <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/135277853/i-will-begin-with-what-i-think-are-words-that-i-use-specifically-in-these-posts-although-not-exclusively-as-in-there-is-some-overlap-to-legalese-or-contracts">posts where I clarify the meanings of these words and points</a>).  </em>This word - proffered - is the exact description of what is happening; regarding the genesis of One&#8217;s standing and determining who One is and by what measure or means does One instantiate this as truth, both in One&#8217;s own life as well as out in the world. </p><h4><strong>proffer ; 1. verb</strong></h4><ul><li><p>If you <strong><a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/proffer">proffer</a></strong> something to someone, you hold it towards them so that they can take it or touch it.

That question is one of agency.  What does &#8220;agency&#8221;mean, as I am discussing here?  Agency is what such an One possesses; freely given by the supreme power, God Creator, to determine One&#8217;s values, directives, intentions, and beliefs; and how to implement One&#8217;s self in action in life.  That&#8217;s a pretty convoluted concept.  It is complicated, and most people are never really - consciously aware of their own agency.  A simpler way to say it might be to say, that One has the right and ability to &#8220;put themselves to&#8221;, whatever they wish.  It is directly attached to the concept of free will.  Now, here&#8217;s the rub!  One will apply themselves to some order or other, intentionally and consciously, or not.  Going a little deeper into the conscious intention thing, we find this word proffer, defined above.  It is not a version of or the same at all as the very similar word &#8220;offer&#8221;.  The simple and significant difference is as follows.</p><h3>~ Proffer vs. Offer</h3><p>In contract law, which is what all of the <em>statute/code/legal system</em> is based on; in Admiralty, contract and agreement forms the &#8220;law&#8221;.  So when an offer is made to such an One, an answer will be returned no matter what.  It is like in Trust Law, &#8220;A Trust will never lack for a Trustee, if no Trustee can be found, one will be appointed by the Court&#8221; (of whatever jurisdiction the Trust is operating in).  It becomes a given, or a <em><strong>must</strong></em>.  In Admiralty Law, an offer <em><strong>will</strong></em> receive an acceptance or refusal.  I have discussed this at length previously, where if no response is given, it is deemed as <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/140384733/acquiescence">acceptance by acquiescence</a>.  So if One is wishing to reject or refuse an offer, One must say or perform in such a way as to rebut or reject.  Other than a counter offer to negotiate, there are only these two options, acceptance or refusal.  And all offers to contract, if made with legal authority, follow this track.  </p><ul><li><p><em>Let&#8217;s look at a frequent example:  From your Internet Service Provider to your Mortgage Agreement, from time to time, showing up in your email box or actual letter in the post, is a &#8220;Terms of Service Agreement&#8221;, or &#8220;Upcoming changes to Terms of Service&#8221;.  Without doing anything, without even reading it, without specific rebuttal, the new contract will be in effect on the specified date.  Now this seems a little simpler to comprehend, as there was already a previous agreement being altered.  So what about a new statute/code/law that the legislative branch cooks up and passes in Government.  Maybe something to which you do not agree or even find repugnant.  With the status of Citizen and/or person, the agreement has already been made.  For more on this refer to my post <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/terms-and-conditions">Terms and Conditions</a> .</em></p></li></ul><p>On the other hand is something &#8220;proffered&#8221;.  We don&#8217;t use this word much, I don&#8217;t know if it ever has been used frequently, as it creates a very different relationship between the parties: One proffering, the <em>profferer,</em> and the One being proffered to, the <em>profferee</em>.  Unlike Admiralty/contract law, in this case, the profferee must choose to accept or take what has been proffered.  If the profferee does nothing, what has been proffered has not been accepted and it remains with the profferer.  <em><strong>No action</strong></em> equals <em><strong>rejection or refusal</strong></em> of the proffer, conversely, an offer with <em><strong>no action or response</strong></em> creates, <em><strong>agreement and acceptance</strong></em>.  This may just sound like a bunch of word play which all comes to nought!  </p><p>However!  These are the ways of God the Father, and Not God, Satan.  In &#8220;<a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/137072283/the-devils-concordat">The Devil&#8217;s Concordat</a>&#8221;, God is given the right and limitation to <em><strong>proffer, </strong></em>whereas, Satan is given the right and impunity to <em><strong>offer.</strong></em>  So how does this manifest?:</p><ol><li><p>All of the current Government and Legal system is based on contract, Admiralty Law.  Offers, contracts, and agreements bind all parties to what is within said contracts.  Within this system, acceptance by acquiescence is binding.  One need not &#8220;sign on the dotted line&#8221; - with wet blue ink.  One can perform, in agreement, which is more binding than any little signature line.</p></li><li><p>In that Legal system, One is assumed to be acting as or for <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/135277853/name-or-new-baby-name">NAME/Legal Fiction</a> unless that offer has been specifically refused; and/or, the standing of One as acting as or for NAME, has been rebutted or refused.  When in any contract, legal agreement, or Court, One is deemed to be on the hook and attached to all binding statute code pertaining to &#8220;persons&#8221;.  The offer of personage has been accepted, by not rebutting or refusing and then further by performance!  If this is not clear, review my <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/140467364/the-you-performance-rule">&#8220;You Performance Rule&#8221;</a>.</p></li><li><p>Likewise, each such an One, does not have to choose the Devil, to become attached to him.  Either by sins of commission or omission, One has drawn up a promissory note, a debt instrument, that is held by the Devil, the greatest book keeper ever, until payment has been made and the account has been zeroed.  Again, all within the &#8220;Concordat&#8221;.  As every man will sin, and then, by not doing anything about that sin by accepting the proffered redemption; ie: doing nothing, One has agreed to that note being held (by Satan), which equals death.</p></li><li><p>By not choosing God, by action and with conscious intention (performance), One has chosen the Devil.  Simply doing nothing or being unaffiliated does not free One&#8217;s self from that offer from The Evil One.  Further, One might say, &#8220;I make statement and claim, that I, &#8220;<em>your name here&#8221;</em> refuse and reject the offer to be attached to Satan, the Devil, the Prince of Darkness&#8221; - and post it at the town square so that all may see.  Or even become the most famous blogger in the world with the byline of &#8220;How I told Satan to go to Hell&#8221;!  Satan will quietly snicker at this counter offer, and in fact he would likely accept your counter offer.  But: by not choosing God, as he proffers the sacrifice of his Son to us, as payment for those notes &#8212; redemption is not received.  One must choose to take and accept this proffer of love, grace, redemption and life!</p></li><li><p>God cannot make One accept what is proffered.  As profferer, he holds his hand out to you, but you must take it if you wish to be redeemed.  Conversely, those who do anything other than actively choosing what is proffered, remain attached and lawfully adjoined to Satan, with his grubby little paws holding all that paper . . .</p></li></ol><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/p/resurrection-operating-as-a-living/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/resurrection-operating-as-a-living/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><div class="directMessage button" data-attrs="{&quot;userId&quot;:129100431,&quot;userName&quot;:&quot;Arlen Paul&quot;,&quot;canDm&quot;:null,&quot;dmUpgradeOptions&quot;:null,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}" data-component-name="DirectMessageToDOM"></div><div><hr></div><p></p><h3>~ On to the Public vs. Private question</h3><p>As stated in Article 18:1 above, One, as in &#8220;<em>Everyone &#8230;</em>&#8221;,  has <em>&#8220;&#8230; right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion &#8230;&#8221;, </em>in<em> &#8220;&#8230;public or private&#8230;&#8221;, </em>with and for<em> &#8220;&#8230;observance, practice, and teaching.&#8221; </em>To whom does this article apply you may ask?  To ALL of the PARTIES who have become signatories to it and have ratified it for their GOVERNMENT and all AGENTS and OFFICIALS acting under the authority of said GOVERNMENT.  So that means, ALL PUBLIC SERVANTS are required to adhere to and respect this Covenant!  All Courts, Police, Health Officials, Mayors, Senators, servers at restaurants, street cleaners, even the plumber who comes to fix your pipes <em>(that is if he is acting as NAME, or other CORPORATE representative.  On the other hand, Bob, your neighbour, can come over and unplug your toilet in his private capacity as well, thereby not being held under the authority of Article 18:1 or any other statute code).  </em>So, when this &#8220;<em><strong>right</strong></em>&#8221; is offered to &#8220;<em><strong>Everyone</strong></em>&#8221;, what does this mean to the men and women who wish to act in the &#8220;<em>observance and practice</em>&#8221; of One&#8217;s belief and conviction, that Creator made me, and I must not comply with any given directive by the &#8220;AUTHORITIES&#8221; if it is in conflict with those beliefs and convictions?  Well now, you people<em> </em>can assemble and conduct yourselves in a way that seems best for you, in the Private and the Public, according to this Covenant.</p><p>18:1 is significant, because it specifies and codifies that ALL GOVERNMENTS and COURTS must recognize any &#8220;One&#8221; which is acting according to their own &#8220;thought, conscience, and religion&#8221;, and is to be given consideration and recognition &#8212; standing &#8212; even if One chooses to stand, outside of THEIR Public Corporate Jurisdiction. I imagine this will look a little bit like how a Diplomat is considered.  A Diplomat is given a special status, but can still be seen or heard by a Court or Government.  Up until this point, any One that I am aware of who stands successfully with the conviction and belief that they are a man, and not a NAME/Corporate Fiction, is bounced out of the jurisdiction or Court and ignored.  Almost as if their voice lost all volume and their physical body disappears from the room.  This has happened to me.  At the time, I was satisfied with the acknowledgment and agreement by the Court that I did not have to stand as NAME for their made up statute/code.</p><p>And now, it is time to answer the bullies question: &#8220;Oh yeah - and what are <strong>you</strong> going to <strong>do</strong> about it&#8221;?</p><div><hr></div><p></p><h4>~ Let us move from Subjugation to Conjugation</h4><p></p><p>Dancing out of Babylon.  I have talked previously about practicing at the barre.  In front of the mirror, rehearsing and achieving a &#8220;body memory&#8221; of what and how One wishes to move in this dance.  I have presented a deep dive into what this thing, this anti-Christ beast that is THE CORPORATOCRACY, is, and how it get&#8217;s it&#8217;s teeth into you.  I have presented how to give Notice, and perform as such, &#8220;I am NOT a Registered Corporation and I do NOT volunteer to act as or for NAME&#8221;.  If One is able to accomplish this (along the way I have made many mistakes and had to go back with new experience and knowledge to earn this standing), then One may be set free from this bondage.  And now, They try to ignore the man, that is appearing in their jurisdiction, right in front of them.  Now, this appearing and standing and jurisdiction, as it pertains to the separation of &#8220;man&#8221; and &#8220;NAME&#8221; gets complicated.

second part to this post, wherein I will go deeper into the application and meaningfulness of all of these little snippets from the ICCPR.  All of the typewritten images above are taken directly from the December 19, 1966 Covenant, presented and signed at the United Nations in New York.</p><p>It is clear that the authors of this document knew the exact plan with which they would implement many of the things that have come to pass since &#8216;66.  Everything from pandemics and health becoming an Internationally controlled issue to the use of Emergency and <em>&#8220;ordre public&#8221; </em>(national security and public order) with the Patriot Act to further the interests of The CORPORATOCRACY/One World Government.</p><p>I leave you with this: in every instance where this Covenant uses the words One, Everyone, people, men, women, or man, that is what they are describing: a man, as I say, a such an One.  They very smoothly use &#8220;his&#8221; to refer back to both a &#8220;person&#8221; or a &#8220;man&#8221;, depending on the syntax, grammar, and context intentionally confusing the issue.  But in no instance when the word &#8220;person&#8221; is used do they mean a man or woman.  As I said, I will break this down further in the next post relating to each Article I have shown above.</p><p>In closing, I complete and send this out on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025.  The day celebrating Christ&#8217;s resurrection and the concretization of his status as the Redeemer of all Debt Instruments held by Satan.  So, if One wishes to accept that proffer from Our Father, that his son, Jesus volunteered to pay the price for any who wish to accept that proffer of life, arising out of his death and resurrection, say yes, reach out, and touch his hand.  This thing of finding freedom and taking responsibility for One&#8217;s physical life, the man vs. person thing, is co-related to that same freedom and responsibility of bringing One&#8217;s spirit to life through choosing Him.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

that there is no one alive right now, who is entirely centered and conscious of who they are, and perhaps more importantly, who they are not.  If you have been following along in my previous posts, it is pretty clear of what my position is on the legal <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/135277853/corporation-corpse-corporate-fiction-legal-fiction">CORPORATE</a> fiction, the <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/135277853/name-or-new-baby-name">NAME</a>, - vs. - the child of God creation that is One&#8217;s eternal spirit, soul, and consciousness.  What I am focusing on in this article, is the multiple selves that we contend with on a daily basis, that distract and hide One from One&#8217;s true self.</p><p>Many have a hard time with the concept that we, as man, a species, are born with sin.  These, that struggle and deny this point, say that the innocent baby is &#8220;fresh from the other side&#8221; and is pure and good.  For myself, after delivering our youngest in a home birth, where I got behind the plate and was the catcher for this inning, I too, believe that this little bundle of life force that had made his way into this world was nothing if not: fresh, innocent, and good.  And of course, the most beautiful creature that I had ever seen ;-)!  All attending that birth: his three older brothers, myself, Cynthia&#8217;s best friend and her son, as well as two midwives; were so overtaken by the miracle of life presenting itself so wonderfully, that we didn&#8217;t seem to care or notice if it was a boy or girl!  It took several minutes before the curiosity of our friends son, to excitedly remind us of the question, &#8212; girl or boy(?)! </p><p>Cynthia and I have produced four sons, and each presented with his own personality and character from day one.  When I was in university back in &#8216;86, my Educational Psychology Professor was teaching that all babies start out with a blank slate.  And, that it is only the experiences and environment that determine personality, intelligence, and potential of any infant; the Nature vs. Nurture question.  From experience, I know that he was categorically wrong.  So what does my recounting of this birth story have to do with multiple personalities?  Well, these new little creatures, baby boys and girls, will, from that day one, have situations thrust upon them that will shape and affect them for the rest of their lives.  The values and expectations of our families and the society into which One is received, will create frameworks that have nothing to do with One&#8217;s true self, but will direct and affect identity and how One goes on to &#8220;be&#8221; in this world.  I am not trying to lay out here how One can best raise a child, or interpret how or why One has become who they seem to be.  I am suggesting that the layers of understanding and presupposition of who One is, and why, often has very little to do with the true self.</p><div><hr></div><p>It was the summer of 1980, the year I turned 14; and in this part of the world, this is when One is able to &#8220;apply&#8221; for a Class 7 Driver&#8217;s License, a Learners Permit.  It was the pattern in my family to always put the learner behind the wheel whenever the family went somewhere; such that the most seat time and experience could be gained in preparation for the full blown, Class 5 Driver&#8217;s License examination, after turning 16, having had two years and many miles of practice.</p><p>That summer holds many of the things that were to create and form the personalities and characters shaping the identity of who I thought, and still think, myself to be.  My parents split up; with my Father moving out of the family home and me not hearing directly from him for almost a year.  I was the son of a &#8220;preacher man&#8221;, so this came as quite a blow, and hit fully, from beyond left field.  We were also soon to learn that not only was my Father involved with another woman, but that there had been other infidelities over the recent years.  So much for my notion of coming from a good and stable family.  I mention these details, as they all have an affect on the formation of who I saw myself as.  None of these external things had anything to do with my true self, but built layers of messy buildup over top of that &#8220;child of God&#8221;/soul consciousness.</p><p>So with Learners Permit in hand, I became the chauffeur for what remained of my family.  Every Sunday morning to church, I would be waiting in the Driver&#8217;s seat to do my duties.  Indeed, every weekday morning I was &#8220;Driving Miss(us) Lucille&#8221;, my Mom, to my school to drop me off, where she continued on to her school, as she was a teacher.  All of this driving took place going from one side of Edmonton to the other, as we had also been Southsiders but had recently moved across town to the newly developing West End, we both still schooled on the Southside.  I do not know of any other Learners Permit holder that logged as many miles and hours of seat time as I did, during those two years of practice.  </p><p>The thing about this little story of my early years of driving, is that it also cemented something into my consciousness, my character, personality, and even my values.  And it had nothing to do with the operations of a motor vehicle.  It did have to do with the operations of what I thought was: my self.  You see, being the youngest of four children, and happening to have been endowed from day one, with a slight but significantly different, &#8220;way of being&#8221;, than the two parents and the three previous children, I was the outsider: the black sheep.  And to do with this little story, the scapegoat.</p><p>Now One can only imagine, back in the day, when the whole village or tribe, came together, prayed on and visualized all the wrong and sin that they had been experiencing and executing, and focused it on the little goat, tied to a pole in the middle of the group.  Hurled at and heaped with the foul that all had suffered and been responsible for, only to become the burden of this fine little wholesome and innocent goat.  That once everyone was satisfied that the guilt, shame, pain, and blame - that they all were experiencing, had been successfully transferred to said goat; it would be shunned!  Turned out into the wilderness and not allowed to return to the safety of the group; only to be savagely ripped to pieces by a suitable predator, or simply left to starve, unattended and un-nurtured.  Of course thus rendering the tribe or village - &#8220;free from sin and suffering&#8221;?</p><p>That whole scapegoat story sounds a little more severe than what I was to experience as the chauffeur for my family.  The overlap resides in the dumping of unresolved emotions and pain, onto me, the stand-in for the goat, in this little vignette.  So how did something rather distasteful, harsh, and inappropriate, this act of scapegoating, happen in a 1980s suburban happy little family?  At the time, none of us knew it was happening; I think; or perhaps, hope.</p><p>Take for example, the Sunday morning ritual of getting to church, which culminated in our whole family walking into service whilst the first hymn was being sung, the &#8220;call to worship&#8221;.  EVERY Sunday, almost, we were consistently late.  Was it due to the chauffeur being new to his post that caused this ignominy?  It was not!  I had been all too familiar with going fast, as I had spent my boyhood skateboarding and dirt biking; the goal of which was never to be safe, slow, and unscathed!  It might seem that those years of broken limbs, raspberry patch elbows, knees, and hips, and then of course stitches, were for the sole purpose of scathing, or at least learning where those limits lay.  So speed, was never the problem, at least as it pertained to my ability to get my family where it needed to go as quickly as possible.  However, as I have previously described, I sat in the driver&#8217;s seat, awaiting my family to get in the car so that I may transfer them to the church, on time!  To no avail.  Despite my rather excessive limits on the speed scale, and doing everything I could to make every light before it turned yellow, or indeed red, etc., we were always just that 90 seconds late.  You see; and it has taken me almost 50 years to see it myself, I was set up.  </p><p><em>(For those who have never &#8220;wiped out&#8221; on a skateboard on concrete or asphalt, or a dirt bike going around a corner more than a little too fast; the raspberry patches described above, are the scrapes and road rash One receives from hitting the ground in a most inappropriate way.  Feet are made for hitting the ground, running and walking, amongst other things; elbows, knees, boney hip protrusions, shoulder blades, etc., I think you get the idea, are not made for perambulation, sliding, or skidding across concrete or clay hardpan.  It leaves scars that remain today, a reminder of how fast is too fast.)</em></p><p>I was not the last one in the car.  Every Sunday, it was my mother.  And not by a few seconds, but several minutes, we waited in the car for her as she made us late.  As too it was, almost every weekday when we once again sped along Whitemud Freeway, across town to the South side, to attempt to get to school on time.  Now the scapegoat part of this went something like this:</p><ul><li><p>Arlen!  Why do <strong>you</strong> have to go so fast!</p></li><li><p>Arlen!  You are scaring me with your crazy lane changing!</p></li><li><p>Arlen!  I feel like we are taking off for the MOON!!</p></li><li><p>Noises and grunts making clear that she was not comfortable nor agreeable to the motion and upset of travel and speed that she felt was un-necessary and something that I was causing, to her detriment.</p></li><li><p>Gasps of reaction to a lane change or perceived (imagined) danger.</p><p></p></li></ul><p>In all these trips, I <strong>never</strong> had an accident, <strong>never</strong> was pulled over for speeding, dangerous driving, or <strong>ANY</strong> infraction of law or safety.  <strong>Not once!!</strong>  And yet somehow, I was the problem.</p><p>I do not write this as a complaint or accusation against my mother.  I write this to express that there was a created character or identity that was put upon me, that had nothing to do with me.  With patience, I awaited my mother&#8217;s arrival into the car, whereupon I would do my best to &#8220;get us to the Church on time&#8221;!  However, responsibility was never taken by the perpetrator of the delay and time-crunch, but scapegoated onto the innocent party.  Now this was not a singular experience, that my driving was so &#8220;outside the box&#8221; that it was decreed by not only my mother, but in fact the whole family, as being dangerous, excessive, inappropriate, and even perhaps juvenile Tomfoolery (a speed related term ;-) )!  It was instead, at every instance of my childhood and adolescence that there was a rush, that time was of the essence, and, that somehow it was my fault.</p><p>This post is becoming somewhat hard to write as I relive and revisit some of the memories and emotions from this time in my life.  My family was suffering in the summer of 1980, no doubt!  Instead of dealing with that pain and suffering in each of the four other members of my family, it found a release, a pressure relief valve, in the familiar character of the scapegoat.  The scapegoat routine did not begin in this summer as described, it had been dogging me my whole life.  As an outlier in my family, I always had a different view and value on things.  Right from the start; and to this day.  And it abraded my mother and siblings, from as far back as I can remember.</p><p>The outcome of this is what relates to the title of this post, a &#8220;Multiple Personality&#8221;.  I do not describe myself as someone who is suffering from a &#8220;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_and_Statistical_Manual_of_Mental_Disorders">DSM</a>&#8221; described psychological  affliction, but as someone who is carrying a monkey on my back that is the creature that was created; the outcome of this scapegoating throughout my childhood years.  I suffer from the patterning and programming that this repeated, real and felt experience, furrowed into my psyche, creating in me what I have come to call, my Time Demon.</p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/p/multiple-personality-disorder/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/multiple-personality-disorder/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><div class="directMessage button" data-attrs="{&quot;userId&quot;:129100431,&quot;userName&quot;:&quot;Arlen Paul&quot;,&quot;canDm&quot;:null,&quot;dmUpgradeOptions&quot;:null,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}" data-component-name="DirectMessageToDOM"></div><div><hr></div><h3>~ Trauma and the gateway for Demons</h3><p>I know, having been raised in a modern, so-called, Christian religious family, that Demons are malarkey.  The New Testament, and more importantly Jesus&#8217;/Yeshuah&#8217;s words being directly taken as &#8220;casting out demons&#8221;, and that an ever-present reality of evil and the demonic, taking hold of and inhabiting the consciousness&#8217; of people was happening commonly in the people of &#8220;<em><strong>that&#8221;</strong></em> time.  However, of course, that doesn&#8217;t happen now, and that anything resembling the &#8220;evil force&#8221; of a demon is hysteria and to be rebuffed as exaggerated explication!</p><p>I hope that you, dear Reader, are able to sense the sarcasm in the previous paragraph.  </p><p>If One has never been chased by demons &#8212; by evil &#8212; by true malevolence, with real and present danger at risk, if not just around the corner, then, perhaps, my narrative sounds melodramatic!  Blessed as such be, the innocent lamb!  But for those of you who have known evil, who have been chased by wolves that were ready to devour, and end you(!), then you may have a glimmer of understanding that demons, and the affect that they bring into the world, through those who allow their presence within their &#8220;self&#8221;, or &#8220;selves&#8221;, to manifest, may have an idea of what I&#8217;m laying down here.</p><p>Just today, I was listening to a <a href="https://youtu.be/9x3cHzRvNQo?si=VxewnWaQIfuJoUTM">Jordan Peterson interview with Michael Malice</a>.  Wherein, the guest, Michael Malice asks Jordan, in his capacity as a Psychologist, to describe why One would be involved in paedophilia, and what in fact was the attraction.  I invite you to listen to Jordan&#8217;s answer, as I believe it aligns almost perfectly with my own understanding of this vile behaviour.</p><p>Now, where all of Psychology and Psychiatry fear and actually refuse to tread, I volunteer and suggest, is where the self, or at least some part of it, has been subsumed, by evil, a demonic force and presence.</p><p>Every abuser has been abused!  Trauma is experienced by a little innocent, and the innocent is compromised forever: tarnished and never to be made clean again!  This is not &#8220;on&#8221; the abused, but the abuser.   (This is not the origin of original sin as described above, this is far beyond that category of philosophical/theological debate!).  The &#8220;abused&#8221;, can never go back to being &#8220;un&#8221; - abused; the trauma has been executed and - &#8220;mission accomplished&#8221; - for the evil one.  This leaves the abused, what is often the little child, in a state of dis-connection from conscious awareness or in shock: the state of distress which can be anywhere from a break from &#8220;reality&#8221;, to actual loss of consciousness.  Imagine being that such an One, that suffers some kind of betrayal, and is left with the experience of terror, danger, or physical suffering that has been inflicted by a most malevolent force.  That malevolent force is, or at least is empowered and driven by, evil.  Now there are those who believe that &#8220;evil&#8221;, is something that weak or foolish people choose to partake in.  By allowing their decisions and values to be misconstrued onto a direction of wrong, deceit, lies, treachery&#8230; I think you get the idea.  However, I do not see it as such.  It is not something floating around in the field of possibilities of what One chooses: hmmmm, let&#8217;s see, it&#8217;s Tuesday, so I think I&#8217;ll go with cheating on my business partner &#8216;cause he took the credit for my last new idea; as opposed to: it&#8217;s  Wednesday, where he was nice to me, and made me sound cool in front of the new pretty secretary, so I won&#8217;t lie about the profits on the new product, etc.  The action of choosing evil is not something so benign that it resides within One&#8217;s own consciousness as a mere possibility or wrong decision.  It lies lurking, waiting for its opportunity to present, and slyly and smoothly entrance the lonely, empty, hopeless, or <strong>wanting</strong>, to choose this path of ease and perfidic gain.</p><ul><li><p><em>To be added to the ArlenP, glossary of terms and conditions.</em></p><ul><li><p><code>perfidic: </code><em>adjective form of</em> <strong>perfidy; </strong><em>the action and intention of betrayal and treachery, for which there must be a precondition of faith or loyalty</em></p></li></ul></li></ul><p>When trauma is inflicted on an innocent, the psycho/spiritual wasteland that the traumatized finds themselves in, cannot be imagined by those who have not been visited by such a terrifying reality.  There is no one: there is no safety: there is no hope: &#8212; I may - or may not, survive this voyage into &#8220;un&#8221;-reality!  And thus the traumatized is left abandoned.  Lonely!  Weak and vulnerable, with no safety of parent, caregiver, etc. (if the parent or caregiver is the abuser, they, the abuser, abandons that post of caregiver of the abused, in the action of the betrayal).  It is this loneliness where One is left in the dark, looking for some respite, some relief, when a &#8220;voice&#8221; is heard.  A voice that so tenderly and deceptively convinces the little One that they are a friend, a support in this desperation!  What has come to my awareness, and what is suggested by Mr. Marzinsky, is that that voice, is the voice of the evil one.  The desperate and lonesome betrayed little One will take what it can get!  This offering, is not an offering of love and goodness, but a hollow and empty promise of lovingkindness and manipulating approval.</p><ul><li><p><em>I suppose One might ask, &#8220;why is it the evil One who shows up in these desperate moments?"  Could it not be an Angel or the Holy Ghost that might visit in these times of abandonment?&#8221;  The answer to this question, lies in the necessity of choice, in this free will experience.  If Jesus, or the Holy Ghost just showed up any and every time One was in trouble, in distress, in torment, or even at the edge of death; then what is One&#8217;s choice?  Any time the rubber hits the road and there is payment to be made, God shows up and says, &#8220;no problemo, I&#8217;ll take care of it&#8221;!!!!  Is this what we ask for from our magnificent Creator?!?!  Just make it all OK!   &#8212;  NO!  This is up to each such an One, no matter how hard or painful the outcome seems to be.  We must ask.  We must cry out, &#8220;save me from this suffering!&#8221;.  We must choose Him.  Again, entering the domain of this complex understanding of free will, more on this soon.</em></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><p></p><h3>~ Why would One identify with, or act as or for , the Demonic?</h3><p>I believe that in almost every case of the traumatized individual, who has accepted some tenderness and approval from an outside force, unrecognized as such by them: that the message that is given by that outside force is received or interpreted as their own voice, inside their head.  If One could identify that a &#8220;voice&#8221;, was not their own, but that of an external, and specifically demonic, force, One would discount that message and carry on with their day.  However, I am rather intimately aware of such a force that affects and carries on inside of my own head, with an almost un-restricted abuse and fervor.  My &#8220;Time Demon&#8221;!  How could a voice in my head, that reveals itself as my own thought and sounds like my own voice within my consciousness be demonic?  Firstly: this Time Demon is never constructive, it is only abusive: to criticize any action or plan that I may be partaking or executing as being slow, in-efficient, or just plain stupid.  It is not a message that in any way helps me to execute something or to form a plan that gets more done or is easier in the long run.  It only &#8220;knocks me down&#8221;!  Secondly: sabotage!!  Before I have even done any action, it is criticizing how I plan to act and again, knocking me down.  Preventing me from moving in any direction let alone a positive one.   Thirdly: consumption.  The amount of energy and time that I allow this demon to consume, with NO BENEFIT to me whatsoever, is a cardinal verification that this whole effort and exercise is nothing but an &#8220;Arlen is stupid and wrong&#8221; event!  The true Arlen, does not and can not act as a destructive saboteur that voraciously and wastefully consumes.  </p><p>This is not something that I respect or hold as valuable.  </p><p>This time demon creeps up on me in every circumstance and puts me at odds with my true self and my interest of expressing myself, in doing the will of The Father.  I don&#8217;t consciously choose this critical and incorrect action, to implement the time demon.  It is an element of my &#8220;self&#8221; that is not fully under my control and certainly not aligned with my true self.  It is an artificial personality, that in certain situations, given leeway, transposes itself upon the real Arlen.  Convincing me to accept the offer, that my family gave to me (created through their own trauma) that I was always the cause for a rush and a time crunch.  Thus creating in me, as I was alone, the four of them held accord that the time pressure was my burden, so that I took on this negative judgement and blame, as the scapegoat, that really and truly had nothing to do with me.</p><p>This is ever complicated by what I described in my previous post &#8220;<a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/in-they-you-trust?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;showWelcomeOnShare=false">In They You Trust</a>&#8221; as the need of the <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/105426469/on-innocence-transposed">infant/child</a> to make the caregiver/parent perfect and correct; such that the child, infant, or innocent, takes on the blame and identifies as the &#8220;cause&#8221; for the error, betrayal, infraction, terror, etc. administered by the abuser or caregiver.</p><p>So now we come to our good friend, Jerry Marzinsky and his study of the criminal schizophrenic.  Summarizing what Jerry has presented in many interviews, which does not concur with ANY of modern Psychiatry or Psychology, is that, the consistently negative &#8220;voices&#8221; that the &#8220;schitzo&#8221; is hearing in his/her head as his/her own voice, are in fact, the voices of demons. </p><ul><li><p><em>Now, it should be said at this point.  That someone who is diagnosed with and is suffering from schizophrenia, is not suffering from hearing positive and affirming voices in their heads; as far as I know.  This may beg the question of which voices a psychopathic narcissist is hearing in his head, affirming everything he does and telling him he is the greatest thing going!  I suppose the similarity in the falsely negative (schizophrenic) or the falsely positive (narcissist), is that the voices are lying and manipulating in both cases.  This is straying deeper into the question of the origins of thought and consciousness; let&#8217;s put a pin in it and revisit.</em></p></li></ul><p>This is what I am describing as the thoughts/voice that I hear, that I call my Time Demon.  It presents within my consciousness and is making commentary on what I am up to, and most importantly, is only shooting me down.  One could consider this as a valuable tool for self reflection in an attempt to not become falsely over confident, thinking that everything you do or touch is golden.  As if this voice might keep me in check.  If this was an internal psychological tool, where an evaluation of an event or process that I engaged in was considered and adjudicated with fairness and respect, then, at least some of the time, this voice would concur with my previous choices or plans and give me a pat on the back.  Such is not the case, with both my Time Demon and the &#8220;voices&#8221; which schizophrenics hear inside their heads.  They are always negative, or intent on confusing and causing discord of some kind or other.  Hence my, and Jerry&#8217;s hypothesis is, that these always negative voices, are demonic.  To be clear: a negative voice being described as demonic, does not simply mean that it bears an evil character or message.  It means, as I see it, that an external force, coming not from within One&#8217;s self, is energizing this action and message.  It is not advising the internal dialog of expressed thoughts, but it is <strong>directing</strong> that expression for <strong>its</strong> interests, not yours.</p><div><hr></div><p></p><h3>~ Splitting and Multiples</h3><p>In following some of the research on MkUltra and other such sinister plots, it has been described that with the induction of severe or repeated trauma, One&#8217;s &#8220;personality&#8221; can be split.  As in an other personality can be fostered and generated within the traumatized individual which may be able to be controlled or at least appear with a separate identity or character.  I have personal experience with this, as it was described to me by a friend, that as a child, she had been repeatedly sexually abused by her step-father: that she could leave her body and go into the next room to play with her dolls during these events. I am describing an out of body experience.  Additionally, she described to me, that in the case where she knew that an event was going to take place, she shifted into a different character, a more compliant, going along to get along, participant.  I recently came upon this YouTube video, &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G8weF4jsZw">Sexual Assault &amp; the Brain in Six Minutes</a>&#8221; - Jim Hopper, Ph.D.<strong>,</strong> discussing this issue of compliance and submission in dangerous situations and how it can be confusing to the victim.  What can come of this, is compartmentalization of the consciousness.  What I mean, is the multiple personalities, the multiple selves, that we create out of necessity to survive, as well as out of convenience or even comfort, are encapsulated within the psyche.  Like a foreign object that has literally gotten under our skin, like a sliver, is encapsulated by the body as a means of self protection.  These multiple selves can show up in ways as straightforward as how we choose to present ourselves at work vs. how we present ourselves at church.  The important thing here is, are we presenting who we truly are, and are we consistently conscious of who that true self is.</p><p>On another track, is Professor Sam Vaknin and his video &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrISNGzMdp0">Signs of SWITCHING in Narcissists and Borderlines</a>&#8221;.  Where he presents the idea that these multiple personalities can come and go for various reasons, he does not however go as far as naming these negative and destructive voices as being demonic.  In some of his earlier work that I followed in my study on the Malignant Narcissist, he presented this novel idea that this severe form of narcissism was in fact, the suffering from a multiple personality disorder.  Described as the small (innocent) child that has been shamed so severely, that that self goes into hiding, and a false supremely confident and <em><strong>never - ashamed</strong></em> self is created (to achieve an ostensible equilibrium to the ongoing shaming of a perpetrator/caregiver).  This too could be done in a desperate attempt to psychically survive.  In a sense: sacrificing the &#8220;weaker - shamed&#8221; true self, for the creation of the falsely aggrandised narcissistic personality.</p><p>Now, I know I have gone in a few directions at once here, but the point I am trying to make, is that we choose, sometimes knowingly and more often not, to act and or present ourselves as something that positively fits a situation, but has nothing to do with who One truly is: One&#8217;s true self.  In the case of the secretary put in a compromising position, where she may be in grave danger, might smile, or act without resistance.  As Jim Hopper described, this can be an automated survival mechanism at the subconscious level in the given the situation.  However, it does not reflect that the secretary agrees with or is happy about being in the situation.  A false self is created by the danger and trauma, the one that goes along to get along, that does not represent the true desire or values of the abused individual. Conversely, the schizophrenic, or Arlen, who hears voices in his head that are not constructive, but quite the opposite are destructive; the abuser is the demonic force/voice, and the abused, the One who listens to and suffers from the demonic false message.</p><div><hr></div><p></p><h3>~ Original Sin</h3><p>The journey that is to return to The Father, as I wrote about in &#8220;<a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/pinnochio-had-it-right?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;showWelcomeOnShare=false">Pinnochio had it right</a>&#8221;, is to do these three things:</p><blockquote><p>~ Three tenets of Pinnochio&#8217;s successful REAL BOY journey:</p><ol><li><p>He must not tell a lie.</p></li><li><p>He must keep going, no matter the terror or mystery.</p></li><li><p>He must return to the Father.</p></li></ol><p>~ The quest to a REAL life:</p></blockquote><p>When we arrive here, as my son Isaac did as described earlier in this expos&#233;; in the beginning of this experience, our consciousness largely has yet to be formed.  The ability to be self aware usually takes a few years to develop.  It is with this self awareness that we can begin our journey back to The Father.  So now on this journey, it is once we have found redemption that One can be without sin.  These acts of:  forgiveness, redemption, and absolution, come to us through Christ with our commitment and action of admission and repentance.  Therefore, One is not born redeemed and without sin, it is something that is consciously pursued, somewhat like Pinnochio, not yet a Real Boy.  Let us not be disillusioned that once redeemed, the journey is over.  This is where the &#8220;sinful nature of man&#8221; comes into play.  Despite our efforts and want for ongoing purity and to live in the glow of truth and goodness, we find ourselves coming up short and failing as we sin, yet once again.  Christ&#8217;s blood is not wasted upon our frailty and fault.  As One discovers the connection to him and The Father, through a pursuit of &#8220;true-self&#8221; discovery, we build that relationship and awareness of ever present grace, love, protection, tenderness, discipline, and acceptance from God.  This connection does not create a &#8220;free-pass&#8221; to sin, this notion of being pre-forgiven.  That we now have the confidence in this exchange of our action of sin being expunged by our repentance and freely received forgiveness, this does not make way for careless or heedless living.  God knows our heart, and he knows if One is caught in a lie.  It would be a lie, if One fell to his knees and repented and begged for forgiveness from The Father, knowing full well that the plan was already afoot to carry on in this same path of sin.  It is a requirement for receipt of redemption, that One&#8217;s heart be true.</p><p>This can get fuzzy, real fast.  How can One repent, with shame, and promise to try to not &#8220;do it again&#8221;, while also knowing that as a sinful being, the state of man, will definitely fail and fall into sin again?  It almost seems like, what is the point?  The point is the journey!  We are here in this free will experiment to choose to return to The Father.  When One chooses, knowing that there will be setbacks and failures at every turn, that is to choose sin; what matters is what One does next.  Do you surrender to sin, and say &#8220;awe what the hell, what does it matter anyways&#8221;?  The great deceiver smiles, claps his hands, and does a little dance every time someone might say this or act in this way.  It is the picking One&#8217;s self up, seeing the truth of One&#8217;s failing and bringing it into the light for examination.  This is hard stuff.  We tend to not like a close examination of what, why, and how far off the mark was this failed action &#8212; this choice to sin.  To deny and bury this ugly and shameful truth, is a great way to find One&#8217;s self in the exact same predicament just a little further down the road.</p><div><hr></div><p></p><h3>~ The Residence of the Self</h3><p>So we have established that there can be many personalities or identities or even legal entities that can be described as a self.  I have mapped out at length the artificial <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/135277853/person-person-legal-person-etc-with-regard-to-all-things-legal-and-within-corporate-jurisdiction">Legal Person</a> that is created in an ALL CAPS, or some variant, Registered Corporation, which I notate as <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/135277853/name-or-new-baby-name">NAME</a>.  When I asked the CRA(IRS) to please notify me of the location/residence of the TAXPAYER associated with my name, they did not volunteer that information and I received no response, surprise.  If One volunteers to act as or for TAXPAYER or NAME, and gives notice of residency within the Corporate jurisdiction, then it would be that street address or PO Box where the NAME resides.  I would say that my Time Demon, resides within my memory and consciousness and it travels with me wherever I go, awaiting its moment to pounce.</p><p>But where does the true self reside?  The self that will go beyond this life and experience, to rejoin with The Father?  There is some kind of realm or dimension, where consciousness and the spirit can crossover.  Where the Holy Ghost dwells and moves effortlessly and immediately to connect with any such an One&#8217;s true self on a level that we can&#8217;t really perceive.  It is in the group of questions and answers that our minds and consciousness cannot really comprehend:</p><ul><li><p>Who or what made God?</p></li><li><p>How can something exist forever, without beginning or end?</p></li><li><p>If God knows what I will do at any point, his omniscient quality, then do I have free will to do whatever I wish?</p></li><li><p>Where, what, and when is eternity and what is described as &#8220;Heaven&#8221;?</p></li><li><p>Did my soul or spirit exist before my life on Earth?  Or, is it an expansion of consciousness of The Creator?</p></li><li><p>Is time a reality, or is it a functional construct of this game, this experience?</p></li></ul><p>Although many can answer any of these questions with a theory or some proposition, I do not believe that our level of consciousness can truly grapple with these unknowns.  This is where we dwell and reside as a conscious spiritual entity, having an experience.  It is my position, that One must accept the vagaries of, and multiple and opposing truths, to exist at once.  Although I cannot see, taste, or touch God&#8217;s love directly, I live in its goodness each day.  That plane or dimension, that is experienced as love, is where I believe The Father and my true self resides.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

One&#8217;s true self is at least a manipulation and most likely a barefaced lie.  To act a certain way to gain benefit, that is not in congruence with One&#8217;s true beliefs and convictions, is what the Epistle of James is talking about in verse nine of the second chapter.  To allow One&#8217;s true self to be covered, controlled, masked, or directed to act in a way that is not in harmony with truth, love, and beauty is what I have described in this discussion on multiple personalities.  </p><p>For those returning readers, I hope that the &#8220;self&#8221; of the NAME/Legal Fiction, has been clearly discerned by now, but if it hasn&#8217;t, be patient.  It takes time to digest and achieve that knowing of who One is and who One is not.  This concept of our thoughts and the voices in our heads, brings a whole new level of discerning where the true self lies and who it is.</p><p>To sum up: One is confronted with opportunity everyday to at least attempt to pursue truth, love, and beauty.  When One is living in the, at once sublime but also monstrous truth, of: who One is, what One has done, who others are, what they have done, who our caregivers really are, what our caregivers have done etc., One can begin to shed the false personas and masks we have chosen to pick up and put on.  If we come to all of this with love, as The Father and Yeshua have modelled for us, holding ourselves and others to account for good and for bad, and then with that love bring forward: grace, compassion, acceptance, and forgiveness upon repentance; it is here where beauty and The Father will be found.  </p><p></p><p>Have it good,</p><p></p><p>Arlen</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Arlen&#8217;s Substack!

Cynthia and I became very familiar with this road  back in 2010/11. </figcaption></figure></div><div><hr></div><p><em>~ Preamble</em></p><p><em>Once again I find myself beating the drum of language, meaning, interpretation, and most importantly - implementation of that which has become knowing.  The Father gives us the free will to learn and act in whatever way that One sees fit.  There are of course consequences for the choices that we as men, women, kings, or GOVERNORS make.  Currently, the &#8220;Rulers&#8221; that we seem to find ourselves under, I posit, are not the &#8220;ministers of God&#8221; nor the purveyors of <strong>righteousness!</strong></em></p><div><hr></div><h4>Proverbs 16 KJV:</h4><p><em><strong><sup>12&nbsp;</sup></strong>It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.</em></p><div><hr></div><h4>Romans 13 KJV:</h4><p><em><strong><sup>1 </sup></strong>Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.  <strong><sup>2&nbsp;</sup></strong>Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.  <strong><sup>3&nbsp;</sup></strong>For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:  <strong><sup>4&nbsp;</sup></strong>For he is the <strong>minister</strong> of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is <strong>evil</strong>, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the <strong>minister</strong> of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth <strong>evil</strong>.  <strong><sup>5&nbsp;</sup></strong>Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.  <strong><sup>6&nbsp;</sup></strong>For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.  <strong><sup>7&nbsp;</sup></strong>Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.  <strong><sup>8&nbsp;</sup></strong>Owe no <strong>man</strong> any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.  <strong><sup>9&nbsp;</sup></strong>For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  <strong><sup>10&nbsp;</sup></strong>Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.  <strong><sup>11&nbsp;</sup></strong>And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.  <strong><sup>12&nbsp;</sup></strong>The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.  <strong><sup>13&nbsp;</sup></strong>Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.  <strong><sup>14&nbsp;</sup></strong>But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. (<strong>emphasis added)</strong></em></p><div><hr></div><h4>~ In the Flavour of Jonathon Mayhew</h4><p>It was with Jonathon Mayhew&#8217;s sermon, and publication of a leaflet of that sermon, that is credited with swaying a significant portion of the American People, to move to freedom, from under the then ruler George III King of England.  It was Mayhew&#8217;s sermon given January 30, 1750, that opened up a portal in the public consciousness, to question, and in time to revolt against, the Government of that day.  His sermon, opens up the Biblical Directive to adhere to the &#8220;powers&#8221;; as they are in position, with authority and by the sanction of God.  Mayhew&#8217;s argument was, that if the &#8220;powers&#8221;/King acted in pursuit of evil - or was not acting in the interests of the good of the governed, then the power that They, the rulers, wield does not have the Godly primacy pointed to in Romans 13.  This passage, has been over-simplified if not abused by the spiritual leaders of today, directing their congregations to go along with the &#8220;Government&#8221;, as it is by God&#8217;s will that they are in power.  The problem with this position, is that then: everything that happens on this earth in this dimension, is ordained, authorized, and approved of by God.  Murders, theft, slander, torture, etc. is then to be accepted and allowed, as &#8212; &#8220;if God didn&#8217;t want it to happen, then he wouldn&#8217;t let it happen&#8221;.  Now, this goes down the rabbit hole of rabbit holes; that question of free will and agency.  We can go further on that another time.</p><p>What Mayhew petitioned for, was that following blindly in submission, giving One&#8217;s self and authority over to a ruler, must sometimes be questioned and possibly abnegated when appropriate.  When it comes to what I have put forward in my previous posts, and of course a position that I hold; is that here, we are dealing with two separate issues.</p><ol><li><p>The domain of the living:</p><p>Romans 13 tells us that the rulers, are acting as and ruling over - men and women. Further, in 1 Peter Chapter 2, the actual distinction is made:</p><ol><li><p><em>1 Peter 2 verses 13 - 14 KJV:  <strong><sup>13&nbsp;</sup></strong>Submit yourselves to every ordinance of <strong>man</strong> for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; <strong><sup>14&nbsp;</sup></strong>Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. (<strong>emphasis added)</strong></em></p></li></ol><p>The living word of God, tells us that the ordinances of <em><strong>&#8220;man&#8221;</strong></em> are to be followed.  Now this all lines up.  That is to say: what is morally and biblically correct is to be viewed and followed with complete conviction: all that which is good, right, and true.  There is a distinction here that I will go deeper into in future, wherein - men answer to other men and most importantly God; but a dead CORPORATE entity only answers to itself, or perhaps as I have mentioned before, Not God, The Father of Lies.</p></li><li><p>And on the other hand; the domain of the dead:</p><p>Who are the Governments of today governing?  Men and women, the people; or, the CORPORATE NAME/dead fictions?  If the Government, is governing with FULL AUTHORITY, operating as a CORPORATION, which as I have previously discussed, is in deed the case; then what authority gives them &#8220;powers&#8221; over a man?  Has God ordained and authorized CEOs, CFOs, Board Directors, CORPORATE OFFICERS, etc. and given them authority over each such an One/soul/man/woman?  The answer is, of course not!  This is currently being proven in the &#8220;Legislative Branch&#8221;, the Courts.  Where statute code/legislation; created, written, and enforced by GOVERNMENT, is conflated and described as &#8220;LAW&#8221;!  Where there is a special manner of language and behaviour when &#8220;playing&#8221; the game of the LEGAL SYSTEM.  They in deed do not have authority over any such an One who stands as a man or woman, separating themselves from, and clarifying and stating that: I am NOT a PERSON(!) and I cannot with clear conscience act as or for a PERSON as my God directs me to &#8212; &#8220;not have respect for persons&#8221;!</p><p></p></li></ol><p>While I agree with the basic tenet of Mayhew&#8217;s argument: that governments pursuing evil ends or not acting in the interests of the people of the nation, must cause the people of that land to examine their hearts, and if appropriate, change the governance by whatever means might become necessary.  I do <strong>not</strong> think, that the GOVERNMENT and the &#8220;powers&#8221;, referred to in Romans, necessarily equal the same thing.  We are simply looking at two separate domains.</p><p>It is becoming clearer to me, as I write this, that this fully is, the crux of the matter.  If I tell the &#8220;Government&#8221; to take a leap, and I go on to follow my moral compass written in my heart by The Father, I am not in breach of Paul&#8217;s directive to the Romans nor God&#8217;s directive to me.  I, my soul, will follow the ordinances of men ordained by The Father and supply tribute where and when due.  However, Romans 13 has nothing to do with the &#8220;<a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/upside-down-world">Upside Down World</a>&#8221; order of Kings and Governors, that we find ourselves in at present, other than to clearly declare, that it, the upside down world of GOVERNMENT, has nothing to do with those that choose to follow the directives of The Father.</p><div><hr></div><p>The quote directly below is from my third post,</p><div class="digest-post-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;nodeId&quot;:&quot;44b18078-98b6-494f-9446-b69f99b81c63&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;cta&quot;:null,&quot;showBylines&quot;:true,&quot;showDescription&quot;:true,&quot;showImage&quot;:true,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;lg&quot;,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Persona non grata&quot;,&quot;publishedBylines&quot;:[{&quot;id&quot;:129100431,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Arlen Paul&quot;,&quot;bio&quot;:&quot;When you know yourselves,  then you will be known,\nand you will understand that you are children of the living father.\nBut if you do not know yourselves,\nthen you dwell in poverty and you are poverty.&quot;,&quot;photo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/c1afd102-8cad-42eb-835a-5a1e40edc02f_144x144.png&quot;,&quot;is_guest&quot;:false,&quot;bestseller_tier&quot;:null}],&quot;post_date&quot;:&quot;2023-02-18T21:41:52.948Z&quot;,&quot;cover_image&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fffc0cc08-2168-4e5a-a88a-24f3ac7fbddf_2048x1536.jpeg&quot;,&quot;cover_image_alt&quot;:null,&quot;canonical_url&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/p/persona-non-grata&quot;,&quot;section_name&quot;:null,&quot;video_upload_id&quot;:null,&quot;id&quot;:103429428,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;newsletter&quot;,&quot;reaction_count&quot;:1,&quot;comment_count&quot;:0,&quot;publication_id&quot;:null,&quot;publication_name&quot;:&quot;Arlen&#8217;s Substack&quot;,&quot;publication_logo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fc1afd102-8cad-42eb-835a-5a1e40edc02f_144x144.png&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;youtube_url&quot;:null,&quot;show_links&quot;:null,&quot;feed_url&quot;:null}"></div><blockquote><h4><em>As per Section 2 of THE CRIMINAL CODE OF CANADA :</em></h4><p><em>&#8220;<strong>every one</strong>, <strong>person</strong> and <strong>owner</strong>, and similar expressions, include Her Majesty and an organization&#8221;</em></p><p><em>6.&nbsp; It is agreed by you</em> (Robynn, the Prosecutor)<em> that you have knowledge and awareness that I, the man, Arlen-Paul: am not in that list.&nbsp; I am not &#8220;Her Majesty&#8221; and I am not &#8220;an organization&#8221;, and I do not volunteer nor agree to act as, or be surety for, either as those are persons of law I cannot be forced to submit to.</em></p><p><em>As per the ICCPR, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Canada is a signatory to and thus is upheld as Federal Law:</em></p><p><em>Article 1: All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>Article 18: 1.&nbsp; Everyone shall have the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion.

In Article 1, above, we see that the Ones being described are &#8220;<em>All <strong>peoples</strong> &#8230;&#8221;.  </em>So the &#8220;subject&#8221; (grammar-wise) of that Article and sentence is described as &#8220;peoples&#8221;.  In Article 18, the subject is described as &#8220;Every<strong>one</strong>&#8221;.  Article 16 describes the subject again as &#8220;Everyone&#8221;, and then differentiates that it, the subject of the sentence, has a right to recognition as something other than a &#8220;people&#8221; or a &#8220;One&#8221;, but <em><strong>&#8220;as a person before the law&#8221;.  </strong></em>This spells out, in a little bit of a convoluted manner, that these terms: <em>Everyone, peoples,</em> and <em>person(s)</em> do not mean the same thing.  If they did mean the same thing, Article 16 could be written as: <em>All <strong>persons</strong> shall have the right to recognition everywhere as a <strong>person</strong> before the law. </em>Or: <em><strong>Everyone</strong> shall have the right to recognition as <strong>everyone</strong> &#8230; .  </em>Or:  <em>All <strong>people</strong> shall have the right to recognition everywhere as <strong>people</strong> &#8230; .  </em>It has become our lazy speech, improper use of language, lack of clarity, and assumption that leaves one standing confusedly or even confoundedly around this notion of who One is and who One is acting as or for.  These are two utterly different entities: man = living soul, child of God, sentient conscisous being (that which One <em>&#8220;is&#8221;</em>) &#8212; <em>vs. &#8212;</em> person = legal fiction, Registered Corporation (NAME), CITIZEN, etc. (that which One can ONLY act as or for as it is impossible for any such an One to &#8220;<strong>BE</strong>&#8221; a CORPORATION).</p><div><hr></div><h4><code>It is us, we the people, who are failing our Father, not our Governments who are failing us.  195 Countries have signed/ratified the ICCPR, which clearly gives all of God&#8217;s children the ability to adhere to One&#8217;s faith and convictions.</code></h4><div><hr></div><ul><li><p>As I proofread this post, another little convolution has shown itself.  In Article 18:1 noted directly above, we see &#8220; &#8230; <em>either individually or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in worship, observance, practice and teaching.&#8221;  </em>Now, I know this goes by really fast, however, it speaks to the observance, and practice of One&#8217;s religion or belief in two different realms.  In addition to &#8220;<em>individually or in community with others</em>&#8221;, it then states specifically &#8220;<em>in <strong>public</strong> or <strong>private</strong></em>&#8221;.  Although it is often unclear as to what capacity or jurisdiction One is applying Oneself in or to, this Article 18:1 is talking about One&#8217;s right, as a people or a One (man), to manifest his belief and religion in the <strong>public</strong>, which can simply mean &#8216;in the company of others or many&#8217; the public<em>. </em>However; in this case in a Covenant on Civil and Political Relations, it is the Corporate Domain of Governments and Statute Code/Legislation that is being referred to as <strong>public</strong> and differentiated from the <strong>private</strong>.  The Public Servant or Officer, <strong>by this Covenant to which They are bound</strong>, must go to pains to allow for and respect One&#8217;s belief and religion.  There are many times where the two domains: private <em>vs.</em> public, living <em>vs.</em> dead, or, man <em>vs.</em> CORPORATION cannot be recognized in the same breath or jurisdiction, but here we find that the One&#8217;s bound by this Covenant, <strong>the men and women </strong><em><strong>acting</strong></em><strong> as Public Servants</strong> <strong>or Officers</strong> must give way to One&#8217;s belief and conviction within their public realm.</p><p>In our times, this speaks directly to Romans 13, as well as the directive of the first and second commandments.  It is us, we the people, who are failing our Father; not our Governments who are failing us.  195 Countries have signed/ratified the ICCPR, which clearly gives all of God&#8217;s children the ability to adhere to One&#8217;s faith and convictions.  Those same Governments are bound by that Covenant!  It is us who fails to hold them to the adherence of that Covenant so that we may freely live by the commands and directives laid out so clearly in God&#8217;s Covenant, which wholly applies to all men and women: made with his children through the sacrifice of His son, Jesus Christ, our redeemer. </p><p></p><p>I will be going deeper into this application of public standing as a man very soon, as this point is new to me and those who I know who study these issues.  The notion that I, or any One, as a <strong>man/child of God,</strong> can have standing in a CORPORATE Jurisdiction, not only as standing above, beyond, or outside that jurisdiction; which was the comprehension that I had of this point thus far, but to be recognized within/inside that Jurisdiction is fabulous!!  This opens up many more possibilities of interacting with the dead.  Jesus and his disciples attempted whenever possible to convert the dead to become alive in him; by His love and the love of The Father!  It is not that we, as his ministers, are to avoid the dead, but to not show respect/preference for them or their ways.</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

all things Commerce, Law, and Banking.  We were travelling back and forth once a month to study with a group in LA and were also attending a few other events and conferences.  I met with my brother at a Costco food court to have a hotdog and a pop <em>(soda for you Americans)</em> and a short visit to catch up.   For various reasons, our paths were not crossing as often as they once had.  As I explained to him the highlights of my newfound knowledge, and clarified how I could travel about in our truck without a Driver&#8217;s License, he leaned back in his chair with a look of serious concern.  Now &#8212; this is the big brother that saved me from the fish hook in my finger, play wrestled with me letting me &#8216;win&#8217; 30% of the time, taught me many things about mechanics and construction &#8212; he even taught me how to ride a bike!  What came out of his mouth next, which wasn&#8217;t the hotdog nor the pop, has stuck with me ever since.  &#8220;Arlen, as long as you stay between the ditches&#8221; was his comment.  He brought up Romans 13 at that meeting and he could not abide that all of the things I said were true, and that, I was straying too far into &#8220;dangerous territory&#8221;.  Dangerous territory has been the ground Cynthia and I have often found ourselves on since.  And as I have noted, The Father and His angels have always somehow brought us through.</p><div><hr></div><h3>~ &#8220;Staying between the ditches&#8221;</h3><p>I knew what my brother meant when he made this comment.  He, my brother, has modelled this tack in his own life, for the most part anyway.  Depending on whether you live in a big city, or different parts of the world, One may not comprehend the significance of these ditches.  Cynthia and I grew up on the prairies of Western Canada, and long straight roads, often as far as the eye can see, were paralleled by ditches dug on either side of the road.  Now back in the day, these dirt roads were nothing more than cart tracks through whatever ground, soil, or rock One came upon to traverse from place to place.  The driver of a cart, or the lead of your brigade, would choose the path based on those variable ground and soil conditions that presented.  The best road to go, was not always straight nor the shortest distance between two points.  It was with the surveying of the land that created these imaginary straight lines separating one land title, again imaginary, from another.  The march westward in North America brought development and agriculture to lands that were wilderness and untamed prairie.  Comparing the roadworks system in the first settlements of North America, both the U.S. and Canada, found roads that went every which way, attempting to negotiate the streams, valleys, mountains, or even just existing homesteads, hither and thither.  Out west, the survey was done prior to the influx of the settlers and as a result, roads were predefined on a map, between titled properties.  Together with endless prairie, this made for long, straight as an arrow, roads.  Concurrent to the westward expansion of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, we see the invention and implementation of machinery for this task of road making.  What had been an extremely laborious task, done with &#8220;20 Mule Teams&#8221; or strings of oxen etc. became an exercise of diesel and hydraulic power.  Incidentally, when building a long straight road across the prairie, the technique of moving the top soil over to the sides out of the way, then plowing and piling up the subsoil/clay from the ditch areas, onto the road area building it higher, and then replacing the top soil over the newly formed ditch achieved many of the goals of the job that a road and ditches are to do for the traveller.  The road became elevated above the surrounds, hence the term &#8220;Highway&#8221;, which offered a quicker drying time in bad weather as the ditches also assisted in the carrying away of water making the roads less of a muddy challenge.  Ditches, believe it or not, have saved many lives.  If someone falls asleep at the wheel, they often wake up with their car in the ditch.  In bad weather conditions of blinding rain or whiteout blizzards, the ditches help to guide the travellers when the road can almost disappear in front of them.  Truckers know, that if you get in trouble of almost any kind, head for the ditch.  So this issue of ditches and when to leave the &#8220;highway&#8221; has a lot more going on than One might first think.</p><p>And what if the road, that <strong>High</strong>way or <strong>Free</strong>way, that the <em>powers</em>/Government are taking you down, or at least the one that they have built for you to travel upon, is, in truth, a road to perdition?  What if going along that road, They want to take your children from you if you attempt to intervene in your six year olds wish to take puberty blockers or identify as something other than what God made.  What if staying on that road means that you are required to inject a substance into your body, your temple, which you may not want?  What if Their statute code/laws make it legal to commit murder (MAID, medical assistance in dying)?  Or, what if They say you cannot convene with other believers to praise and worship in the way that you see fit?  Is One expected to &#8220;stay between the ditches&#8221; and follow the ordinances, not of men, but of CORPORATIONS???  Sadly, my brother has done just this to date.  Perhaps for those who are able or who have the courage; leave the road, hit the ditch and on to &#8230; who knows where.

The third word of Romans 13 verse 1 is: &#8220;<strong>soul&#8221;!  </strong>Throughout the Bible, the words chosen, just as in our lives today, are chosen to clearly and specifically convey a message.  As I wrote in one of my <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/136457948/private-agreement">agreements with the prosecutor</a> <em>(point #10 specifically), <strong>&#8220;Man and woman nor men or women do not equal person(s), Biblically or at Law&#8221;</strong></em>!  So what entity do the &#8220;powers&#8221; have power or authority over?  Is it One&#8217;s soul, a man, a woman, or is it legal entities that are fictitious and are <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/135277853/person-person-legal-person-etc-with-regard-to-all-things-legal-and-within-corporate-jurisdiction">persons</a>?  If the authority that is claimed by the Government, is only to do with a &#8220;TAXPAYER&#8221;, &#8220;CITIZEN&#8221;, &#8220;PERSON&#8221;, or as stated in the Criminal Code of Canada -<a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/136457948/private-agreement"> &#8220;&#8230; His Majesty or an organization&#8221;</a> <em>(point #6 of this linked document)</em>.  That&#8217;s it!  Nothing about man, woman, or people!  The &#8220;Government&#8221; is not governing or guiding men, women, people, or <strong>souls</strong>!  It only has authority over NAME and any other sub CORP, and thus, any man or woman that volunteers to act as or for NAME and are <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/140384733/attachment">attached</a> to it by that performance of volunteering. (For any new readers who are not familiar with <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/135277853/such-an-one-or-one">NAME/sub CORP/ Corporate fiction</a>, <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/140384733/attachment">attachment</a>, etc. please click on these links to previous posts covering these topics).  </p><p>Back to my <em>&#8220;Preamble&#8221;.  </em>I referenced the issue of knowing.  And, the application and implementation of that, &#8220;knowing&#8221;!  So what is it that I expect, or am asking for, each such an One to realize and effectuate?!  It is the simple veritable fact, that &#8220;woman/man/people&#8221; and &#8220;person&#8221;, when referred to in EVERY document, statute, or contract; that carries any depth and meaningfulness, are not &#8212; NOT &#8212; the same thing!!  Two different entities - two different jurisdictions - two different domains: the living and the dead!</p><p>The Father has ordained his ministers, which have authority over men and women; it just seems at present, they are missing in action.  And we are left with posers, actors, that claim to be <em><strong>your</strong></em> President, <em><strong>your </strong></em>Prime Minister, <em><strong>your </strong></em>Minister of <em>something or other</em>, <em><strong>your </strong></em>Congressman, or Legislators, etc.  Now there&#8217;s that word again, I guess slightly different in this case, &#8220;your&#8221;.  Like &#8216;you&#8217; - &#8216;your&#8217;, can also be plural.  So when we see this word, attempt to identify which parties or entities it could be referencing.  Again, One can act in multiple capacities at the same time: child of God, wife, CONGRESSWOMAN, minister of The Father, MINISTER of EDUCATION, and so on.   &#8216;You&#8217; can be a wife or child of The Father, and act as a CONGRESSWOMAN concurrently.  And thus <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/140467364/the-you-performance-rule">&#8216;you&#8217; or &#8216;your&#8217;</a> can be used to hook such an One into the assumption that One is a TAXPAYER/CITIZEN etc.  Again, please reference my &#8220;<a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/140467364/the-you-performance-rule">You Performance Rule</a>&#8221;. </p><div><hr></div><ul><li><p><code>The unwitting attachment that is created by performance by the man or woman, is the &#8220;secret sauce&#8221; of contract with the PERSON and all of statute/code/legislation!</code></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h4>~ rulers - kings, Governors, Ministers and ministers</h4><p><em>Proverbs 16 verse 12 KJV: It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.  </em></p><p>This also pulls into question the interpretation of Romans 13.  If the <em>&#8216;powers&#8217;</em> are not acting in righteousness, then they are not establishing the <em>throne</em>, the seat of power!  Therefore, direct biblical reference brings us, and currently commands One, to an uncomfortable and &#8220;dangerous territory&#8221;!  </p><p><em>James 2 verse 9 KJV: </em><strong><sup>&nbsp;</sup></strong><em>But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.  </em></p><p>Our &#8216;leaders&#8217;, our whole Government and Courts have been playing a shell game.  The use of the name for the office of a Government official as a &#8220;Minister&#8221; is but one.  God has <strong>not</strong> ordained Ministers, as he has ordained <strong>ministers</strong>.  Specified clearly in Ezra 7 verse 24 (thank you to minister Edward for connecting these dots), wherein ministers, small m, are described.  (I think it appropriate to make a distinction: a title is something given to One who is acting in a position or office, hence the capitol &#8220;M&#8221; in Minister of a Government Office, or capitol &#8220;D&#8221; Dr. as a Doctor, or &#8220;E&#8221; Esq. for Esquire/Lawyer; it demarcates a title, the capitalized letter.  When the Judge attempted to get me to perform as a capitol &#8220;M&#8221;, Mister in Court, and I declined her offer, the whole shell game was over.  There simply is, what One is - <em>vs.</em> - what One is acting as or for.  I am a child of The Father, One redeemed by Christ&#8217;s blood (should I accept the <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/156866197/proffer-verb">proffer</a>, which I do), and a believer in Him.  I am not, unless I accept the position, a Mister, or a Minister, or an Esquire, or a Doctor.  I know this gets confusing when we capitalize names, as well as other grammatical use of capitals that are not &#8220;titles&#8221;.)  I think that almost all of the players in Government and Courts are not aware of this shell game.  It is clear to me that the Judges that I have come up against know this truth, and have been taught at &#8216;Judge School&#8217;, which all Judges from Canada and the US attend, to slyly and cleverly maintain jurisdiction over the unwitting &#8216;volunteering&#8217; man or woman.  When I was in court in Beverly Hills up against Bank of America, Judge Stone, the one who ordered Lindsay Lohan into rehab, knew the NAME game to some degree or other.  When the lawyer for the Bank could not understand how I could appear in court without agreeing to, or offering that I was <em>re - presenting </em>the &#8216;NAME&#8217; and objected, Judge Stone over-ruled him and we proceeded. </p><ul><li><p><em>Cynthia suggested that I expand a little on this.  Here we were: Cynthia, Stacey (a &#8220;friend, witness, and researcher&#8221;), and I, in the State of California Court where THE BANK OF AMERICA was suing me; and Regis, the lawyer for the Bank could not understand how I could stand in Court without agreeing to who I was &#8220;RE&#8221;- presenting!  I believe now, that Judge Stone was giving me some leeway, or perhaps he did not fully comprehend the standing of a man in Corporate court.  Either way, he spurned &#8220;Regis&#8221;, the attorney for Bank of America, for his suggestion that he could not proceed without having a clear knowledge of who was speaking.  I might ad, that the significance of the lawyer for the 'Bank&#8217;s&#8217; name happened to be REGIS!!  I am not making this up.  This is exactly what happened 13 years ago in the Beverly Hills Courthouse, right across the street from the &#8220;Beverly Hills Anti-Aging Clinic&#8221;!</em></p></li><li><p><em>He was also the judge, that when he refused to issue my &#8220;writ of Habeas Corpus&#8221;, and I asked him if he was prepared to face his breach of Oath, he leaned forward, looked me straight in the eye, and knowingly said &#8220;yes&#8221;.</em> </p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3>~ Summary</h3><p>This post is really about one thing &#8212; ditches.  In most cases the ditch is not someplace One wishes to find One&#8217;s self: bumpy, perhaps muddy, slow going, etc.  However, if the road you find yourself on, is not the road you wish to be on, then . . . hit the ditch.  You never know where, once One leaves the highway, One will end up.  If you&#8217;re lucky, you might just find the unknown and un-surveyed dangerous territory of wilderness, where the &#8220;nice&#8221; people never wander.</p><ul><li><p><strong><a href="https://www.etymonline.com/word/nice">nice</a>: (</strong>etymology) late 13c., "foolish, ignorant, frivolous, senseless," from Old French <em>nice</em> (12c.)

The Holy Ghost, as God&#8217;s emissary in this realm, has the power to take you to places that you could never imagine!  Perhaps risking your life to defend, to petition for, to fight for, &#8212; truth; no matter the cost!

You receive offers every day, in all manner of forms: fiscal, political, ethical, spiritual, etc.  One makes choices and sacrifices to pursue the perceived benefit of any offer that is considered and accepted.  The Devil can&#8217;t &#8220;make you do it&#8221; and neither can The Father; it is up for you to choose which road you&#8217;ll go down.  </p><div><hr></div><div

My take on breach of oath and Habeas Corpus.</h4><ol><li><p><em>Breach of oath:  I have come to the opinion that if an &#8216;officer&#8217; swears an oath to serve the people, men and women, that he would not be in breach of that oath when he serves a Corporation.  The &#8216;swearer&#8217; is not bound or held to a Constitution or Bill Of Rights or anything that pertains to men and women when wearing the mask of the <strong>&#8216;persona&#8217;/person</strong>; Particularly when he is presiding over PERSONS/CORPORATIONS.  When we all get on the game board of the CORPORATOCRACY, it is only bound by the rules of that game - spelled out and defined in the rule book of the game/CORPORATOCRACY, <strong>not</strong></em> <em>a Declaration of Independence, a Constitution, a Bill of Rights, etc.  Those apply to the people and entities defined within each document, not Corporate employees of CANADA, USA Corp, GERMANY, etc.  This points to capacity.  As in: in what capacity is the Judge acting?  Adjudicator of law and man, or OFFICER/PLAYER on the game board of CORPORATOCRACY?  He can be sitting up at the bench (bank), and do either; just as One can be a child of God (a man) and act as a CONGRESSAMAN/CORPORATE OFFICER at the same time.  I know this is getting a little hairy, but that is the intention of this mask of the persona.  It leads us all to a belief that what we see in the mirror is real!  One is real, the image in the mirror is a reflection, it is only an image, not flesh, blood, and spirit.  Thus, One must consider in what &#8220;capacity&#8221; is the oath maker acting?  Which domain, living or dead, is he, the Judge or anyone for that matter, standing in?</em></p></li><li><p><em>Habeas Corpus (latin): &#8220;produce the body&#8221;.  It is a fundamental right at law, that One who is under scrutiny, for &#8212; anything, has the right to demand to see and be witness to, the &#8220;body&#8221;, that is the evidence, proof, and or substance of the claim/wrong doing.  Most literally in a murder or wrongful death: produce the corpse!  Thus in the court, before the eyes and living witness of the people, the victim, in bodily corpse presence, and the perpetrator, in living bodily presence, could be witnessed to and adjudicated.  I believe it is a literal dumbed down version of this writ that is (mis)understood and (mis)applied in current &#8216;juris prudence&#8217;.  The current execution of a writ of Habeas Corpus simply brings the accused, from whatever prison cell he might be held in, into the physical presence of the Court.  I submitted this writ, &#8220;Habeus Corpus&#8221;, to Judge Stone when The Bank of America was taking me to court over a Bank owned foreclosed property that I was dealing with them, the bank, on.  What I was attempting to do by this action, was to force the bank to bring the &#8220;body&#8221;, that was their proof that they had a right to ownership and upcoming sale of the foreclosed property.  The &#8220;body&#8221; in this case, and in the case of every foreclosure, in America at least, is the promissory note that the previous owner/borrower had provided the bank for securing the mortgage (promissory notes are standard procedure for mortgages in America).  This &#8220;note&#8221; is what brings authority to the Bank to (re)possess/seize the title to the foreclosed home and in deed the whole foreclosure action.  Judge Stone was not jeopardizing his oath by refusing to issue this writ; as on the &#8216;game board&#8217;, he was not bound by the fundamentals of Law, but the rules of &#8216;statute code&#8217;, which, I believe, do not give me as a man, or as a Citizen/sub Corp the right to this writ.  On the game board it would be perceived, understood, and considered as a privilege.  I know that many lawyers and legal experts would contest me on this, however, how many of them truly comprehend the difference in status of a person vs. man?  I explain some of this in a previous post, <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/upside-down-world?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">&#8220;Upside - Down World&#8221;</a>.

Although many of them seem to have clarity on the fact that what we call the Government, is being controlled and directed by an international group that does not have the people&#8217;s interests in mind whatsoever; they don&#8217;t seem to understand why or how this takes place.  What is stuck in my craw, and I have yet to hear from pretty much any of the alternative voices that are shedding light on the true nature of the Political - Banking - Judicial system; is - that the the third leg of the tripod upholding and <em>legitimizing </em>that system, is <strong>bankruptcy</strong>.  I detail national bankruptcy in &#8220;<a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/all-your-money?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">All Your Money?, #6 ~ Bankruptcy and Conversion</a>&#8221;.  The tripods legs are:</p><ol><li><p>National/Federal Bankruptcy.  Canada, France, USA; the corporations, are operating in bankruptcy.  A receivership where a receiver/trustee has complete authority over the financial operations of the bankrupt corporation.</p></li><li><p> Authority derived through Contract.  A contract of Citizenship is offered to the people wherein the Citizen will be under the authority of the Corporate Government, subjugating the authority of each such an One as provided by The Creator.</p></li><li><p>Agreement to that Contract by the people.  Contract, with agreement by the parties, creates authority in the contract itself and specifies and defines who has what authority.  </p></li></ol><p>With Contract in hand; and then by bringing a Nation into bankruptcy through un - payable loans given from the IMF or any other international Bank &#8212; predatory lending &#8212; for primarily fighting wars I might add, that then creates complete control by the Receiver/Trustee of the now bankrupt Nation.  Of course the Receiver looks out for the interest of the Bank and its owners, not the bankrupt COUNTRY/CORPORATION.  And thus, the people stand bewildered and confused as to how &#8220;our&#8221; Government continues on a path that does not represent the well being and desires of the (?)voters(?)/Citizens.</p><p>And to remind any of those who got lost along the way, EVERY nation in the world has been converted into a CORPORATION.  That is how the IMF/World Bank was able to lend the outrageous loans: they loaned by contract to a legal entity, the CORPORATION.  And then, upon the terms of the Contract, ie: non-payment, the CORPORATION/Nation was put into bankruptcy.  Go into the Bank sometime and see if they will loan you, the man, not &#8220;NAME/CORPORATION&#8221;, some money.</p><ul><li><p><em>I refer you to Cynthia Chungs article <a href="/__u/cynthiachung.substack.com/cp/147654002">&#8220;Why Shinzo Abe Was Assassinated: Towards a &#8216;United States of Europe&#8217; and a League of Nations&#8221;</a> where she explains how Japan was brought to its knees and under the control of International Bankers in the 1990s.</em></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h4>Debtors Prison</h4><p>It all boils down to the transfer of authority by each such an One.  It is not the &#8220;Big Corporation&#8221; that wields its dominance over the little guy that creates the &#8220;fraud&#8221; or treason.  It is the act of agreement to the terms of the contract by each &#8220;little guy&#8221;/such an One, transferring authority to the Corporation that sets up this seemingly unfair situation.  It in fact is not a top down action but a bottom up.  Where the bottom is every such an One that has complete authority, Creator given, to make One&#8217;s way in this experience of living and choosing our way through the maze of life.  When One volunteers to hand over that authority, then One becomes subject to the terms and conditions of the Contract.  And there we find ourselves as &#8220;Citizens&#8221;, of a NATION that is a CORPORATION, operating in <strong>bankruptcy</strong>, living out our lives in a sort of invisible debtors prison.</p><p>Some describe it as a Public - Private - Partnership, that is the Oligarchs that are calling the shots and pulling the strings of the marionette Governments.  The problem with this idea, that I see anyways, is that it sets up a position where One has no authority to change the relationship, of the individual to the state, or STATE, and nothing could be further from the truth.  Right now, the way things are setup, where if One volunteers as surety and to act &#8216;as and for&#8217; NAME/CORP(se), then One is bound to the Contract where the directive and authority has been given up and transferred to the top.  The CITIZEN/PERSON, is bound by the terms of CITIZENSHIP and must abide by all Statute Code and pay the bill demanded by the Receiver: TAXES! And then some!  However, One is not bound and placed in this position by force, One volunteers.  I know that seems almost impossible to comprehend.  We have spent all of our lives living from within this system.  Where the agreement/Contract has bearing in all the ways that we perceive &#8220;living a life&#8221; to be: buying and selling, health and well being, ownership, obligations, legal/lawfulness and the Courts, driving/travelling, Borders and Passports, birthing and berthing, etc. etc. Does it have to be this way?  No, it does not.</p><div><hr></div><h4>Following the RULES</h4><p>I refer back to my <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/140467364/the-you-performance-rule">You Performance Rule</a>.  &#8220;<em>By your performance, of answering to NAME, you have volunteered to act as or for NAME.&#8221;  </em>This does not only apply to when One is in Court or some legal or contract situation.  It applies to how you present your self in the <em>Real World </em>everyday.  Open mail addressed to NAME, use a Credit Card with NAME, sign a purchase contract for anything as NAME, file a tax return as NAME, etc.  If you stand as NAME, in any capacity, then One is binding Oneself to the terms of the contract between STATE and NAME.  I guess what it really comes down to is, to ask the question, who is One&#8217;s self?  I know that last sentence is an awkward one.  I was tempted to say - who are you(?), but that sets up the whole plural confusion of &#8220;You&#8221;, hence the You Performance Rule.  One can act in one capacity, or many at the same time.  I know this can get kind of philosophically bogged down, but if we as people are going to free ourselves from the fictitious legal system that is currently running the show, we must get a handle on this identity thing.</p><p>To re-iterate: there can be many you-s (truly plural).  There is in the beginning, the embryo in utero that at some point was endowed by The Father - a spirit.  That spirit is what gives the body breath and life, when the body dies, the spirit leaves the body.  So there is this entity of spirit that is &#8220;you&#8221;.  Then as I said, there is the living body, with spirit intact, that is also &#8220;you&#8221;.  How about a student, you go to school and now &#8220;you&#8221; are a student.  And so on, with becoming or acting as or for the positions of: boyfriend, mother, husband, partner, father, minister, doctor, board-member, executive, borrower, <em>ad infinitum.  </em>These are all &#8220;you&#8221;, or at least can be if you take them on.  And so &#8220;you&#8221; act as and for, by your performance, the NAME and &#8220;you&#8221; are now accountable for and act as the CITIZEN; with all obligations attached.  Again, &#8220;you&#8221; cannot BE a CORPORATION, TAXPAYER, or CITIZEN; you can only act as, act for, or be surety for these fictional entities.  I know I am repeating, and for those who truly get it, I beg your pardon.  However, this point is THE point!  And it will only be when each such an One gets it, owns it, and chooses to live it that we will see drastic change.</p><div><hr></div><p><code> I am not saying that this freedom, the separating of One&#8217;s self from NAME, will come easily or be quickly agreed to by the AUTHORITIES.  There will be Push-Back from all the parties of officialdom; and they will not go gently into that good night.  It will be by force - force! - by the will of the people.  Citizens and voters will never change the CORPORATION.  The authority is all vested into the holders of: the note, the contract, the mortgage, etc.  Mortgage means - exactly - death pledge.  The position of debt slave, that One finds One&#8217;s self in now, is still and only by, One&#8217;s volunteering.  When One can consciously separate One&#8217;s identity; sense of who One&#8217;s self truly is, from NAME, CITIZEN, TAXPAYER, DEFENDANT, what have you, it will be then that men and women, as a people, can stand against the false gods that rule our lands and us as the inhabitants of that land.</code></p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

TRUSTS</h4><p>There is an ESTATE that lurks in the shadows related to NAME.  Upon the creation of NAME by a &#8220;Registration&#8221;, THE CROWN also authorizes the creation of a BOND.  That Bond is attached to NAME and is de - posited into an account at the <a href="https://www.dtcc.com/about">DTCC</a>.  Throughout One&#8217;s life the value of this BOND/account accumulates and relates to the value and production that the slave/NAME has generated or is deemed to be <em>worth.</em>  I have not performed the CUSIP search on the NAME related to my own, but I have seen and reviewed this data from others.  The numbers attached to the accounts are quite staggering, in the hundreds of millions and billions.</p><p>Now this is where the crossover to make believe becomes evident.  One is made of flesh, blood, and spirit.  Accounts are numbers on a page or even more insubstantially, digital entries on a screen; or 1&#8217;s and 0&#8217;s on a magnetic storage device somewhere.  The &#8220;value&#8221; ascribed to those numbers is a belief, a whim, transient by nature, increasing or decreasing in relative value over time or circumstance (inflation, deflation, or trading variance).  You, as in your spirit, does not change in value whether the Bond/account attached to the NAME that is related to your name, goes up or down.  One is real, accounts and numbers are not.  The Father, and I would argue &#8220;NOT GOD/The Great Deceiver&#8221;, see the value of your self - soul - spirit, to be not only unchanging, but also to far exceed any numbers on any page, screen, or hard drive anywhere!</p><p>And this is where another of those <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/the-ties-that-bind?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">hooks and lines</a> come in that I described in my last post.  What One believes to be all the money and wealth that they have, keeps them attached to the current debt slave system.  How does One live in this world un -  attached to money or the financial system?</p><ol><li><p> The TOMBSTONE.  All tombstones have the name of the deceased in all capital letters.  This is the proper style and grammar for denoting a thing that is dead.  In Legal Documents, the names of all entities identified are all CAPS, all of the parties or elements are CORPORATIONS or TITLES.  There are many details with the NAME game, like SURNAME = slave NAME, the registration of BIRTH NAME creates a DEATH CERTIFICATE - as the living entity is assumed to be &#8220;lost at sea&#8221;/maritime admiralty law, and many more little tidbits to make THEIR game work.</p></li><li><p>The ESTATE.  On my mother in laws Birth Certificate from 1947 originating in British Columbia Canada, there was a red ink number on the back of the document.  Many have these BOND NUMBERS appearing somewhere, but this one said right below the number, &#8220;For TREASURY use only&#8221;.  What does a Birth Certificate and associated number have to do with the TREASURY for CANADA or BRITISH COLUMBIA?  In the bankruptcy, the surety and collateral that has been put up for the debt, is all of the CITIZENS, the value of the ESTATES bundled together!  An additional little problem this creates for you dear Reader, is that all the property, investments, accounts, businesses, etc., the whole sheBANG(!) is held in the NAME, which not only do you not own, but is held by claim, by that RECEIVER/TRUSTEE of the bankruptcy.  Which is why THEY can seize property, accounts, or declare BAIL-INs for the BANK.  You, as the TAXPAYER are donating your labour, effort, and production to pay an un-payable debt.  By design, on purpose, with no end ever in sight.  What do you think is going to happen to all the zeros in your accounts of all kinds if this monetary system crashes??  In 1929, the values of everything plummeted.  In 2008-9 with the real-estate bubble in the US, property values so mysteriously also plummeted, leaving people, or should I say CITIZENS, with numbers on accounts that no longer reflected the previous &#8220;sale&#8221; values of their properties, and left with mortgages that could not be paid.  The equity, a portion of the value of these homes prior to the crash, or stock portfolios from &#8216;29, just disappeared into thin air, leaving only un-payable debt.  Of course this was all by design.  It was the usurpation of the real property and wealth of the people by manipulation and contract.  The BANK, ended up with not only the ownership rights to the property, but all of the payments that had been made up until that point.  If you read Cynthia Chungs report that I linked above, you will see that this is exactly what THEY did to JAPAN and the Japanese people in the &#8216;90s as well.</p></li><li><p>TRUSTS.  I cannot possibly cover the extent to which TRUSTS are at play in our lives, how they affect us, nor how they are used to manipulate and trick us into believing something that isn&#8217;t true.  Quite the opposite of what One wishes to believe this word &#8212; &#8220;trust&#8221; &#8212; should be related to.  What I can uncover, is some of the meaningfulness of this entity that is a TRUST.  One of the first ways this concept was revealed to me, was when Cynthia and I bought our first house.  We were 19 at the time, still wet behind the ears on all things financial, that&#8217;s for sure.  In a Real Estate Transaction in Canada, Lawyers are always involved (designed into the system of course), and the Buyer gives the purchase monies to their Lawyer.  It is held &#8220;In TRUST&#8221; by the Lawyer to then transfer to the Seller&#8217;s Lawyer, and thus making its way to the Seller.  So each Lawyer is handling something that does not belong to them, and they do this &#8220;in TRUST&#8221;.  Plainly, both the Buyer and the Seller, must trust that the transaction and transfers will take place as required.  For that matter, we entered into another TRUST, by hiring that lawyer, giving them all of the information and monies to execute the purchase, with the expectation that all would go legitimately, as planned.</p><p>A TRUST, is a legal entity, like persons, that can sue or be sued. It, the TRUST, has standing in Court, just like any CORPORATION or PERSON.  The TRUST is the obligation and action that the TRUST AGREEMENT has defined and specified.  There are three parties and a &#8220;res&#8221; that are required to substantiate a TRUST.  </p><ol><li><p>The GRANTOR or SETTLOR.  This is the party that gives the &#8220;res&#8221;, the money, property, interest, or value of any kind, into the trust and specifies what, how, and whom, will be the purpose and action of the TRUST.</p></li><li><p>The TRUSTEE.  This is the guy that has agreed to do all the work, as specified by the GRANTOR/SETTLOR within the TRUST.  Is usually compensated and is responsible to both the GRANTOR/SETTLOR and the BENEFICIARY.  The Trustee, like the Lawyer in the Real Estate sale I described above, holds and has full control of the money and/or title to property or assets that are the &#8220;res&#8221;.  </p></li><li><p>The BENEFICIARY.  The TRUST was formed to move some kind of interest or value from the GRANTOR to the BENEFICIARY.  The BENEFICIARY, or BENEFICIARIES, receives the &#8220;res&#8221;, from the TRUSTEE as specified in the terms of the TRUST.</p></li><li><p>The &#8220;res&#8221;.  Also called the principal or corpus.  I like res, because when I acted as TRUSTEE for my Mother&#8217;s ESTATE, which was a TRUST, I felt and experienced the physical &#8220;res&#8221;idue that was left from her life.  Her property, accounts, investments, obligations, etc., it was that &#8220;res&#8221; that I was responsible to disperse as specified in her will.  In this case I was acting as an EXECUTOR/TRUSTEE.  Which is also very interesting, as I was given the task of &#8220;executing&#8221; the NAME: the legal entity/CORPORATION that continued on after her passing.  Accomplished by removing any trace of ownership or obligation left by the NAME/ESTATE/CORPORATION.  Simply, the res is the assets or property that has been given by the GRANTOR and put into the TRUST.</p></li></ol></li></ol><p>We enter into trusts everyday, over and over.  In any situation, where One feels that they must, or choose to, &#8220;trust&#8221; someone else, a trust is formed.  It need not be written or spoken of in any sense at all.  Indeed it is by One&#8217;s &#8220;performance&#8221; that the trust and the terms are specified.  Let&#8217;s say I want to borrow my neighbour&#8217;s dozer to clear some fence lines for our cows.  I ask him if it is available and can I use it?  He drives it over to my farm and we have a brief visit catching up with a little chat.  I use it with due care and attention, and when a hydraulic line is broken from it&#8217;s cylinder by an errant tree trunk, what happens next?  No words of obligation were written or spoken.  I could call him up and say, &#8220;hey come and get your broken machine off my property&#8221;!  That is not the trust we entered into.  I know my neighbour, and he knows me.  He knows, that although he is a heavy duty mechanic and can fix anything on his machine, if some kind of normal wear and tear situation occurs, such as the broken hydraulic line, that it is my responsibility to deal with it.  By my past performance, he trusts, that I will take care of and repair something like this.  Further, if the tracks fall off as they are so badly worn and required replacement prior to my use of the machine, I would call him and offer to help him with this very large job, but not at my expense.  So terms of a trust are understood by the parties.  One more breakdown:</p><ol><li><p>My Neighbour is the GRANTOR/SETTLOR.  He put the res into the trust and has an expectation of performance by the TRUSTEE, and has defined who the BENEFICIARY is to be, me.</p></li><li><p>I am the TRUSTEE, as I have accepted the responsibility of holding, caring for, and dispersing the res (the benefit of use of the dozer).</p></li><li><p>Cynthia, myself, and our farm are the BENEFICIARIES of the trust as our farm will benefit from the res (the use of the dozer).</p></li><li><p>The &#8220;res&#8221;, is the beneficial use of property, the dozer, that does not belong to the BENEFICIARIES.</p></li></ol><p>As you may be able to tell, trusts (lower case) can happen in the private; man to man.  TRUSTS (upper case) happen in the public, PERSON to PERSON, or NAME to CORPORATION, etc.  The message here is that we engage in TRUSTS/trusts of all forms everyday.  Breach of TRUST and trust by public OFFICIALS is a VERY BIG DEAL!  That is what we must chase down, by invoking THEIR, the PUBLIC OFFICIAL&#8217;S, and the man or woman&#8217;s duty acting as the PUBLIC SERVANT, to accommodate each such an One that claims superior standing as a (wo)man!!  This is defined by Their <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/103429428/as-per-section-of-the-criminal-code-of-canada">statute code/International Law</a>.</p><div><hr></div><div

The thing about this giant ESTATE/TRUST account that exists somewhere, that is attached to your name that has been converted into NAME; it does not belong to you.  You did not open the account, neither did your mother with the signing of the &#8220;Registration of Live Birth&#8221;.  Winston told me, that as the only individual who has given value to this account, by your constant creation and production throughout your life, One should be able to claim that value for One&#8217;s self.  I have heard whispers in the wind that there are a few who are having utility bills covered, paid for, or are living in properties where mortgages have been zeroed.  What I have attempted to do, is stay out of debt.  Cynthia and I are fortunate enough that we do not presently have a mortgage or any credit cards whatsoever.  This is likely impossible for most people to do.  I say that without any judgment whatsoever.  If One can move towards not being beholden to the Bank, the Government, or anyone but the Creator; I think that is a good direction to move in.</p><div><hr></div><h3>NATIONAL DEBT</h3><p>Canada, the Corporation, is operating in bankruptcy and debt.  The United States, the Corporation, is operating in bankruptcy and debt.  I, the man, do not owe any allegiance or surety to a CORPORATION that does not act in my interests.  As Cynthia Chung has described with Japan, and I have talked about previously: it is all manipulation, smoke and mirrors, to setup wealth transfer and legalize robbery.  If the business that I work for, in my regular daily grind, carries a debt with the Bank, or more specifically is operating in bankruptcy, that does not carry over to me and my life.  Maybe I am the accountant for that business and my daily dealings are shuffling and moving numbers around to satisfy the RECEIVER/TRUSTEE, I still can go home at night and have no burden or allegiance to that company or its debts.  Some would say, &#8220;what about the Benefit Privilege, of being a Canadian living in Canada&#8221;?  I would answer with a simple question - ownership?  The owner(s) of the company that I described the accountant working for above, is responsible for the debt and bankruptcy.  What is my position in Canada, even when acting as or for the CITIZEN/NAME?  Am I an owner, in part, of CANADA.  I think that the actual owners of CANADA CORP. might have a thing or two say about me claiming my 1/35,000,000th share.  Unless of course it was to just pay up that share of a claimed debt.  What is promised to us the Citizenry, is that our voice is heard and our interests are represented.  Some time ago, I acted as a director on a board.  Where I was to represent the other voices of the members of the organization, together with my own.  I was very young and naive at the time, and quickly learned that the stalwart long term board members worked very definitively at furthering their personal interests under a very thin veil of working for the well being of the organization.  So in this CANADA situation, I am not an owner.  I am not a director on the board.  Should I volunteer to be a CITIZEN/TAXPAYER, I believe at best, I would be considered an employee.  The only &#8220;say&#8221; that I have is at the level of public opinion.  Unless of course you still believe that votes determine outcomes of selections.</p><p>It is that public opinion thing that does matter.  And just like the Kings of old, think French Revolution, the ones at the top do keep tabs on what is happening on the street level.  If the slaves are willing to lose their lives, to revolt and topple an unfair, unjust, unworthy leadership; it is all over.  The jig is up!  There was a time when North America was being inhabited by primarily Christian peoples, that the outline of voluntary governance was based on lawfulness reflected as God&#8217;s Law or even Natural Law.  This is represented in those founding documents for Canada and the United States.  At least that is what we are told about history.  If the United States was founded, expressed, directed, and determined by the people from within that region, representing the interests of those people, then those founding documents have bearing.  In the case of Canada, where a Charter was given by a King or Queen somewhere, and the &#8220;law of the land&#8221; was determined by something or someone thousands of miles away, not reflecting the interests of the people on the land to be governed by said Charter, I believe that would remain in owners and slaves territory.</p><p>So where do we find ourselves today?  Voluntary Debt Slavery!  Those founding documents described in the previous paragraph do not apply to CITIZENS.  CITIZENS are defined as persons, and only persons.  Men and women, people, are not CITIZEN DEBT SLAVE LEGAL FICTIONS!!!!  The privately owned CORPORATIONs doing business as - CANADA, U.S.A., GERMANY, FRANCE, etc.  should One volunteer to act as, act for, or be surety for; NAME attached to CANADA or whatever CORP, then get in line to the slave ship, put the shackles on, and start rowing.  And don&#8217;t forget to thank the slave master for whipping you while you work.   I suppose, if the ship is going in a direction that you wish to go, it might make some sense.  But when I pop my head up and take a look around at where we really are, and where it appears we are headed, there is no Benefit Privilege that I can see.  Quite the opposite.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

In addition to the perilous winds that the hurricane created, much of the devastation occurred as a result of a bank rupture.  With the monumental volumes of water coming down the mountainsides to collect and flow out the rivers and streams, the banks (of the river or stream) - ruptured.  Sending millions of gallons of water, beyond the banks, onto the the lands delivering destruction and death in their wake.  When this occurs, it is only for the period it takes to overcome the storm, the flooding event.  Afterwards, we pick up the pieces, bury the dead, and do our best to carry on with what has forever changed our lives.  The prolonged and extended, operating in bankruptcy/receivership, that is being inflicted upon the world by the Banksters, is abuse.  Executed with an intent to harm.  To steal and manipulate the life force of men and women in such a way that it goes unnoticed and is seemingly normal.  The waters and winds that terrorized the mountains of North Carolina and Georgia subsided and abated.  The rupture of financial and trade systems by the &#8220;Banks&#8221; around the world are ongoing with the same decimating and destructive rage felt by the people suffering Hurricane Helene.</em></p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Tying off fishing lures and lines, or how to make beautiful and creative flies, for fly fishing.  If you are a reader of my posts, I don&#8217;t think that you have come to learn that I am an expert outdoorsman or survivalist sharing the wisdom of how to make it out in the great unknown with a bottle cap and an extra shoe lace.  However, the knowledge and experience that I have had opportunity to study, experiment with, and find some success in; is at least as daunting if not as terrifying to the average bear/man, as being dropped off in the middle of a jungle with nothing but said bottle cap and shoe lace.  Instead, what I bring and am dropped off with, is only my wits.  The wisdom that many of my teachers and forbears have provided me, in this path to actionable individual change to the matrix of <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/104152684/on-conversion-and-inversion">converted and inverted reality</a>, has made way for me to apply some truth, to the mess that we call every day life.</p><p>I profer no claims of greatness or grandeur.  The only remarkable trait I claim, is the strength of courage that God gives to me.  In every situation where there was very real and present danger; in my expeditions into the wilderness of standing against the Corporatocracy and all its trappings, when THEY wanted to throw my claims and standing out and lock me up for not being a normal &#8220;statute-code&#8221; abiding Citizen, I leaned on only my faith.  It was all I was left with.  Sometimes truth is not enough to carry the day.  Often times the enemy will not fight fair or in honour.  It has been my experience, that if I rely on The Father, with all the faithfulness that I can muster, He will stand by me and bring me forth to the place He wishes me to be.</p><p>This post is not about me.  It is about what it is that forms the tie, that binds us to all things Corporate.  And what is the barb, on the end of the fish-hook that keeps us tethered to a system that is not for our benefit, and that makes it so painful and seemingly impossible to get it out of our flesh, once it is in.</p><div><hr></div><p><em><strong>~ It is necessary to restate at this point, that if One is not familiar with what I refer to as the &#8220;Corporatocracy&#8221;, or the &#8220;NAME/legal fiction&#8221; etc.  Then please refer back to my earlier posts, starting at the beginning, <a

In the phrase &#8220;the ties that bind&#8221;, it is most often relating to family or community: love, connection, and strength.  We choose to bind ourselves to any number of things; to One&#8217;s: values, children, wealth, status, beliefs, titles or letters after One&#8217;s name, fears, belongings, or most massively our thoughts.  Our thoughts determine so much of what becomes the possibilities of One&#8217;s life.  If you think you can do it, you probably can; and of course inversely, if you think you can&#8217;t you probably can&#8217;t, or won&#8217;t.  And yet further, the thoughts that even enter into One&#8217;s consciousness are limited or bound.  There is a gatekeeper at the doorway to awareness.  That gatekeeper will lock the door on thoughts that challenge the stability and sense of security that we believe to be acceptable to One&#8217;s selfhood.  </p><p>For example, a friend of mine that is well steeped in academia, in fact academia is his whole world: his job, his identity, most of his friends, his literal day to day are all wrapped in University level medical research.  He even lives across the street from the University in which he works (lives).  In a recent discussion with him, where I posited that during the initial covid &#8220;outbreak&#8221;, all cause mortality did not increase.  That the evidence did not support declaration of a pandemic.  That the morgues were not piled high with bodies, and that the government and news where telling a story that simply was not true.  And further, that for children, who did not get &#8220;infected&#8221; or spread this disease, to be injected with an unproven technology, was an atrocity.  Now I consider my friend to possess above average intelligence, however, these thoughts had NEVER entered his mind.  Seriously!  He had not considered anything that I had offered as a possibility.  He works in medical research, and his scope of thought was so controlled and narrowed, for various reasons, that these ideas had never even been considered.  The simple fact that heart attacks, flu, cancer, and even pneumonia deaths ceased during this time, &#8230; ,  !!! , but described covid deaths skyrocketed??  This thought had not entered his consciousness.  The gatekeeper that stands in front of his conscious awareness repelled any of these kinds of ideas, which, if they had entered his mind, would have possibly forced him to reconsider what he was already <em><strong>bound </strong></em>to.  This all happened without him being aware of it.  The gatekeeper is beyond, or at least, perhaps, sub - conscious.</p><div><hr></div><p><code>The simple term, &#8220;open-minded&#8221;, is a virtual impossibility.  I would say that goes for most everyone.  I attempt to allow in, ideas and thoughts that would challenge my selfhood, and I think I do a pretty good job, but I know for sure that there isn&#8217;t room in there for many - many, concepts and ideas that don&#8217;t fit in my paradigm.  One must strive to make room for language and thoughts, and insist that that gatekeeper be a little more lenient on who or what he turns away or allows in. </code></p><div><hr></div><p>When we accept an offer for an agreement or contract, we become bound by and attached to, the terms of that undertaking.  This acceptance, as I have previously described, can be achieved through: <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/134325311/agreement-by-performance">verbal (words spoken), written (words on paper), or the biggie </a><em><strong><a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/134325311/agreement-by-performance">PERFORMANCE!</a></strong></em>  The &#8220;<a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/140467364/the-you-performance-rule">You Performance Rule</a>&#8221;, from my last post, nails down how this binding to agreement, to adhere One&#8217;s self to a title or fiction, can happen so quickly and effortlessly that One has no conscious awareness of what just happened. When this acceptance is achieved by the unwitting performance by YOU(!), until purposeful intentional rebuttal and/or dis - agreement is presented; One is shackled to the leviathan that will take One far from shore, deep into the depths, wherein YOU will be held accountable to all things attached to NAME! Yet &#8212; if One&#8217;s gatekeeper, can allow in this concept or thought, that by One&#8217;s performance the deed (agreement) is done, then One can begin to unlock and remove the bindings, adhering One&#8217;s self to malfeasant contracts.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

into my finger, such that the barb was through the skin, and it wasn&#8217;t coming out without a whole lotta pain and blood.  My nine year old brother to the rescue!  A pair of pliers, kept in the tackle box for just such an occasion.  Linesman&#8217;s pliers to be exact.  What&#8217;s the difference One might ask; pliers are pliers, &#8212; right?  No.  Linesman&#8217;s pliers also have a wire cutter in the throat, behind the pincers.  This enables them to not only grip (pliers primary function), but to cut.  Mark, the nine year old, cut the fish hook just below the barb, thus enabling the remainder of the hook to be threaded back, through the newly formed hole in my finger, without the need to pull out the hook/barb, slicing and tearing its way.  I did cry.  But the wisdom of my older brother, and knowledge of how to use the tools at his disposal, saved me from a larger and bloodier wound, and a much louder and longer cry.</p><p>What is the tool in your tackle box?  The one that will assist in freeing you from the hook(s) in your flesh, tethering you to unknown or unwanted obligations?  It begins with your heart, the controller of the mind.</p><ul><li><p>Hebrews 8 verse 10 KJV: <em>For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:</em></p></li><li><p>2 Corinthians 3 verses 2 - 3 RGV: <em><strong><sup>2&nbsp;</sup></strong>You are our letter, written in our hearts, which is</em></p><p><em>understood and read by all mankind; <strong><sup>3&nbsp;</sup></strong>in that you appear to be the letter of Christ, ministered by us, and written, not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not on tablets of stone, but on fleshly tablets of the heart</em>.</p></li></ul><p>The conscious awareness of this gift of the law of God and love of Christ, written on our hearts, is what must get past the gatekeeper of One&#8217;s mind.  Holding, or being bound to the notion that an authority: Mayor, Policeman, Judge, Lawyer, etc. can rightly direct One in what One can and can&#8217;t do when and where, is the conscious limit that One must overcome.  One know&#8217;s what is right and wrong.  That is what is written on your heart.  It is the constitution of right and moral behaviour.  When in doubt, submit One&#8217;s self to The Father in prayer.  Ask for the gift of truth and humbly accept what is given, even if it is not what One wants it to be.  God gives his people authority and dominion over all the earth.  Your right to life here in this existence is given you by the Creator; not your County, State, or Government!  The Court is to be an arbiter of Law.  Presently, that position of arbiter has turned into a mockery of truth and justice; not only in <strong>not</strong> applying its own &#8220;Statute Code&#8221; legal interpretations, but that it is being used as the bludgeon to manifest fear and self-imposed limit on the populace.  This force of offense against man, in favour of the Corporatocracy, inflicted by that same Corporatocracy, is the message that must be allowed past One&#8217;s gatekeeper.  The painful outcome of that subject matter, is the realization that we all are in trouble.  That there is a <em>force majeure</em> at work under cover of veiled acceptance, putting the creation of God, beneath the Corporate Legal Fiction, ALL THINGS CORPORATE!</p><ul><li><p><em><strong>&#8220;<a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/107210479/federal-national-bankruptcy">Upside-down World</a>, Wonderland: call it what you will. It has been manufactured so that God&#8217;s law and Natural law could be subverted through One&#8217;s voluntary, if unwitting, choice to act as and for THE CORPORATION.&#8221;</strong></em></p></li></ul><p>So it is upon us to open our minds.  Demand that the gatekeeper of One&#8217;s mind, allow in the mortifying truth that Governments will not fix what is wrong.  The Courts will not fix what is wrong.  Your Church and its leaders, will not fix what is wrong.  What is wrong is at the level of each such an One.  When One stands with the superior Claim, with God, not as their &#8220;Co-Pilot&#8221;, but in complete submission to Him; One will find the strength to stand, individually first and then as a community, of the children of the living God.  It truly does not matter whether One ends up with the &#8220;many&#8221; standing beside them at that moment of truth, or stands alone, revealed and vulnerable.  God does not say: &#8220;I will make it easy for you; you don&#8217;t have to risk anything; just wait until the majority are standing with me and then &#8212; you can follow suit&#8221;.  No, that is the way of the faithless: weak and cowardly.</p><ul><li><p>Psalm 94 verses 16 - 17 KJV: <em><strong><sup>16&nbsp;</sup></strong>Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? <strong><sup>17&nbsp;</sup></strong>Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence</em>.</p></li><li><p>Ephesians 6 verses 11 - 13 KJV: <em><strong><sup>11&nbsp;</sup></strong>Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. <strong><sup>12&nbsp;</sup></strong>For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. <strong><sup>13&nbsp;</sup></strong>Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.</em></p></li><li><p>James 2 verse 19 KJV: <em>You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe&#8212;and shudder!</em></p></li><li><p>2 Corinthians 10 verses 3 - 5 KJV: <em><strong><sup>3&nbsp;</sup></strong>For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: <strong><sup>4&nbsp;</sup></strong>(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) <strong><sup>5&nbsp;</sup></strong>Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;</em></p></li></ul><p><strong>&#8220;Every thought to the obedience of Christ&#8221;!</strong>  So here it is, handover the reins for your gatekeeper to God.  Allow him to determine what thoughts are to enter your consciousness to direct you out of your self imposed and limited selfhood.  Allow righteousness to guide the maturation and expansion of that selfhood to the glory of God.</p><div><hr></div><div><hr></div><h3>~ The linesman&#8217;s pliers in your toolbox</h3><p>For those who have fished with line and hook, or more intimately found Oneself in the situation I described above, hook in flesh, it becomes self evident as to why there is a barb on the end of the hook.  It is there so the fish can&#8217;t just squirm a little bit and wiggle the hook out of its mouth, jaw, lip (if fish have lips?), or indeed, its flesh.  The sleight of hand of the CORPORATION, inserting the hook, with barb, into your flesh, is what happens when the NAME game begins.  The artificial &#8220;legal fiction&#8221;/Corporation that is the &#8220;registered NAME&#8221; that is the hook, is not only fastened to you, but if you follow that line that is tied to the hook, it leads somewhere.  Someone, or something is holding the rod and reel that that line leads to.  You, in all senses of the plural &#8220;you&#8221;, are not in control of that rod and reel.</p><p>I believe it is in this thought that the awareness of being &#8220;in the world&#8221; vs. &#8220;of the world&#8221; comes to play.  It is spoken of repeatedly by The Father and His Son, where to put importance and effort after &#8220;things of the flesh&#8221;, &#8220;of the world&#8221;, is folly.  Worse than folly actually, it is death. It becomes incumbent that once One has gained the knowledge, as directed; One will use that knowledge to right the course of intention, focus, and action.</p><ul><li><p>Hosea 4 verse 6 - 1599 Geneva: <em><strong><sup>6&nbsp;</sup></strong>My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because <sup>[</sup><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=hosea%204:6&amp;version=GNV#fen-GNV-22133a"><sup>a</sup></a><sup>]</sup>thou hast refused knowledge, I will also refuse thee that thou shalt be no Priest to me: and seeing <sup>[</sup><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=hosea%204:6&amp;version=GNV#fen-GNV-22133b"><sup>b</sup></a><sup>]</sup>thou hast forgotten the Law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.</em></p><p></p></li></ul><p>That verse is a brutal one!  Not only will One be destroyed, for lack of knowledge but the infliction is passed to One&#8217;s children.  Perhaps this is why some believe that it is proper to pray for forgiveness for their family and predecessors, to open up a channel to The Father due to having been <em>&#8220;forgotten&#8221;.</em> </p><p>Back to that barb.  Any specific task, especially one that is difficult, is always made much easier using the right tools.  On several occasions I have replaced ball joints in steering knuckles with nothing but a hammer and some large sockets used as drivers (not the right tools) to pound the joint out with rampant hammer blows, and alternatively, using the proper press.  Let&#8217;s just say that the hammer often finds its way to impact on things that cause some pain, and the press turns this into a controlled, safe, and easy, task.  So let&#8217;s use the right tool, and get that barbed hook out of your flesh.  Let&#8217;s recap: </p><ul><li><p>One has a barbed fish hook, or hooks, seated firmly in One&#8217;s flesh achieved through the trickery of getting One to volunteer to act as or for a privately owned Corporation, the NAME (owned not by you or your parents), as surety with liabilities attached.</p></li><li><p>The line attached to the hook leads back to the <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/107210479/federal-national-bankruptcy">CORPORATION via DTCC to CROWN/CITY OF LONDON</a>.  That is who is holding the rod and reel and lets the line out to give some freedom to run, and reels it back in when it&#8217;s time to collect!</p></li><li><p>It will take a special kind of tool, a version of linesman&#8217;s pliers or similar, to remove the barb and get that hook/attachment separated from you.</p><ul><li><p><em>I know that I am mixing metaphors here a bit, with hooks in the flesh and the separation between &#8220;in the world&#8221; vs. &#8220;of the world&#8221;, please bear with me.</em></p></li></ul></li></ul><div><hr></div><p></p><h3>The unambiguous tool for this job of hook removal is:</h3><p></p><p>Un - volunteering, by and through: <strong>Knowledge ~ Intent ~ and, Action</strong>.</p><ul><li><p><em>When I was 7 years old, when at the cottage/cabin, fishing with my sister Joanne and cousins, <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/persona-non-grata?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">Bubbles</a> and Tim; Bubbles/Lori, while attempting to cast her rod, managed to get her hook caught into her upper cheek, right beside her eye.  While Joanne, Tim, and Lori, were jumping up and down freaking out; myself, the youngest cousin went to the tackle box and retrieved the linesman&#8217;s pliers.  I promptly and safely cut the barb off the hook and slipped it quickly and relatively painlessly from her face.  They stood mouth&#8217;s agape!  I was able to take my knowledge, very personally gained, and with the intent to free Lori, took action to cure the offence.  This consciousness/knowledge was then imparted to the three others in attendance.  I know this is a very literal metaphor for the removal of the hook and breaking the tie that binds.  It is the same use of the knowledge, imparted to me through my teachers and of course The Father, which I am sharing with you through these posts, and then choosing to stand in faith against what I know to be: NOT MY AGREEMENT, One must UN - VOLUNTEER!</em></p></li></ul><p>Without the knowledge of how One is bound to the CORPORATION and NAME, it is impossible to free One&#8217;s self from that hook and line, or indeed even have the capacity to know that a hook and line exists.  Once One comprehends, it takes time and consideration, and &#8220;<em>open One&#8217;s mind&#8221; </em>to that reality, that THEIR conversion and inversion have created a world, that seems to be real, but is only a reflection.  Indeed, in all cases, it is a world that is designed to serve THEIR interests &#8212; where each such an One serves up their true self <em><strong>voluntarily,</strong></em> to the master that is not The Father.  And no matter how much One objects to the unfairness or perceived treachery that seems apparent; until One &#8220;under - stands&#8221; the truth through knowledge, there is no way to freedom.  Removal of the barbed hook, loosing the tie that binds One through the line, rod, and reel, to the CORPORATION, can be achieved <strong>only </strong>by each such an One!  It is only then that that freedom can be attained.  And most importantly, no one else can do it for you.</p><p>Knowledge of who One is and who One is not, will allow for the intention of exiting Babylon to enter possibility.  </p><p>With that clear intention, like Pinnochio, of returning to The Father, One can achieve the superior claim, knowing who One is, standing above, with sovereignty, authorized by the Creator, thus loosing the &#8220;tie that binds&#8221;.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

HATE AMERICA !?!</h3><p>In the movie, &#8220;Yes Man&#8221;, there is a scene where Carl, the main character played by Jim Carey, has returned from an unplanned weekend away, where he is detained by officials at the airport.  In the movie, Carl has changed his life, with some uncomfortable persuasion by saying &#8220;Yes&#8221;; to everything.  He takes lessons to get a pilot&#8217;s license, he says yes to using a dating service - Persian Wife Finder, gives a loan as a loans officer at the bank to someone starting a fertilizer business.  All to say that the Feds, have been watching him as a potential terrorist.  In the interrogation room, he is immediately asked two questions: &#8220;Do you hate your country(!?)&#8221;, followed by, &#8220;Do you hate America!!?&#8221;.</p><p>Interestingly, the alphabet agency officials that arrested and ultimately locked up a friend of mine asked him the very same question, &#8220;<strong>DO YOU HATE AMERICA&#8221;!??  </strong>The cause for my friends interruption of freedom and media smear campaign against him, I believe, and would say that I know to be; that he did in fact hate what these alphabet officials defend as America.  At this point in history as I have outlined and layed down in previous posts, pivoting primarily on the &#8220;operating <strong>as</strong>&#8221; nature of virtually every country in the world, that is to say, a "<strong>Privately Owned - Registered Corporation&#8221;</strong>, and, that that Private Corporation is &#8220;operating <strong>under</strong> - <strong>BANKRUPTCY&#8221;!  </strong>So if I was asked, &#8220;Do you HATE America&#8221;, I would respond as follows:</p><ol><li><p>&#8220;Let me first make clear that I have hatred for no man.</p></li><li><p>Which America are you talking about?  </p></li></ol><ul><li><p>The one that was founded by men, for the people, and has a Constitution wherein the people stand above the government and the government is limited and held to account by that same founding document!  Answering to <strong>the people</strong>. </p><ul><li><p><strong>the </strong>United States of America = The Republic</p></li></ul></li><li><p>Or, are you referring to the one where International Banks, the BAR Association (the current legal system), and the corporatocracy; all acting with authority over the <strong>bankrupt</strong> Corporation wherein all &#8220;Citizens/legal fictions/Persons&#8221; are held as surety &#8212; in voluntary slavery to the City Of London?  </p><ul><li><p><strong>THE </strong>UNITED STATES OF AMERICA = Privately owned Corporation</p></li></ul></li></ul><ul><li><p>And of course, if you are referring to the latter, then indeed, I do not agree to stand for and act as a Citizen, under assumed ungodly authority&#8221;</p></li></ul><p>At the time when my friend, a late fifties medical professional, was tackled on his front lawn, by no less than six alphabet officials, he was challenging, in Court: the validity, the lawfulness, and procedure by which the Bank was filing a claim against his property.  He had hired a Forensic Accountant to review all of the paper that the Bank had supplied to support their claim.  He was getting traction in court and the other side was worried that he might in fact expose the unlawful nature of mortgages and foreclosure as well as the Banks failings in many instances to follow their own procedure.  For this, he went to prison!  Well, not exactly this.  He was never charged with anything other than tax fraud.  They were able to dig up a 12 year old &#8220;failing to file&#8221; on a specific issue that amounted to a few hundred dollars.  For which he apologized and offered to pay with interest and penalties!  Instead, as an example, he was sent to prison.  This was not about enforcement of any legal or lawful wrongdoing, but because; they sat him down and said, &#8220;You&#8217;re going to jail&#8221;!</p><p>I don&#8217;t know if what I know now about handling myself in court, would have aided him.  The present list, that we know about, in both Canada and the U.S. is pretty long, where proper procedure, application of law and even statute code is being disregarded by Officialdom.  In favour of holding people in jail for the sole purpose of frightening all those who may wish to stand beside these Ones who are afflicted with the &#8220;dis-ease&#8221; of honouring freedom and truth.  Dean Clifford in Manitoba, was held for over a year in prison, in general population with convicted criminals without charge or conviction.  This was a breach of International Law!  The courts in Manitoba where this travesty occurred, I am sure were directed by the the BAR/BANK/CORPOATION to shut Dean down.  Breaching the Geneva Convention for as long as they thought they could get away with.  Which they did get away with.  Dean had been gaining a following and he had begun to give seminars where he was exposing the truth of the sleight of hand system that originates with the Registration of NAME.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Traction:</h3><ul><li><p><em>The act of pulling something along a surface using motive power.</em></p><p></p></li></ul><p>I use this word often.  Perhaps I have mentioned previously, that all field work or logging on the farm relies entirely on One&#8217;s relationship to the ground; by way of tires, hooves, or feet; and causing the effort, the work of an engine or beast, to cause the desired motion.  The long way of saying; &#8220;<em>pulling something along a surface using motive power.&#8221;  </em></p><p>The<em> &#8220;motive power&#8221; </em>is the critical thing here.  </p><ul><li><p>motive: </p><ul><li><p>noun -  <em>a&nbsp;reason&nbsp;for doing something,&nbsp;especially&nbsp;one that is&nbsp;hidden&nbsp;or&nbsp;not obvious; </em></p></li><li><p>adjective - <em>causing&nbsp;or&nbsp;being&nbsp;the reason for something</em> </p></li></ul></li><li><p>power:</p><ul><li><p>1. <em>the ability or right to control people or things </em></p></li><li><p>4.c) <em>the energy or force that someone or something can produce for movement, work, etc.</em></p></li><li><p>5.a) <em>an ability to do something</em></p></li><li><p>6. <em>the right to do something <strong>:</strong> legal or official authority to do something</em>  </p></li></ul></li></ul><p>Each such an One will provide the motive power to pull; first themselves, and then together as families and communities, onto the land and find standing.  It was only Jesus who could be found standing or walking on the water.  I have mentioned, but not yet gone deep into Maritime Admiralty Law.  It is also called Merchant Law.  Where everything is based on contract and agreements.  The code for this law forms the UCC, Uniform Commercial Code, which is all done under &#8220;colour of law&#8221; meaning;&#8220;looking like law &#8212; &#8220;colour of&#8221;.  All of this practice keeps One in the water, off the land.  That is why I describe standing as a man, must be done on the land, under Natural or God&#8217;s Law.  I was listening yesterday again to <a href="https://www.bitchute.com/video/pq8Vt4CtNKJY/">Matrix Decoded</a>, where he talked again referencing &#8220;status&#8221;.</p><p>I think it pertinent to mention that the word and concept of traction is used only for land based energetic effort.  It is not used in any way for work done in the water or in the air.  When a boat or airplane comes to contact with the ground; it has <strong>landed</strong>.  And so let us remain in this domain of ground, earth, soil, <strong><a href="https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/terra-firma">terra firma</a></strong>, etc.  Let us land ourselves and use the now available traction to pull ourselves and communities in the directions that we choose to go.</p><p>I believe that it is only the will of the people, each acting in One&#8217;s sole/soul capacity that will cause this &#8220;<em>pulling along a surface&#8221;, </em>wherein the right and claim of the individual man or woman is renewed, in fact redeemed, and brought to the fore.  Every Corporate interest will hold to the current strata of registrations and artificial hierarchies of power and control in an effort to maintain the scheme.  Money, which I  touched on in post <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/all-your-money?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#6 - ALL your Money?</a>, has an agenda of its own.  How could this be possible; that a dead entity could have an agenda?  Consider how many men and women have made this their idol.  How many do you know that worship at the altar of: their stock portfolio, how many zeros in their bank account, their 401K, or any other $$$ based asset?  I am not judging against wealth, comfort, or ownership (although there is that water word again, owner - <em><strong>ship</strong></em>).  Like the group that got together to put their souls to the focus of altering the path of a hurricane, finding success.  Or like plant experiments where kind words and attention are given to some plants and others are cursed and yelled at with a very predictable outcome I might add.  The intention of each individual&#8217;s supernal soul, &#8220;motive and power&#8221;, energizes that which it is focused upon. </p><p>Neither the politicians nor the Courts are going to allow a &#8220;taking back&#8221; of: the governments at any level, the court system, and the biggie, the banking and whole financial system.  At least that which THEY can control. We are not going to vote ANYONE into power that is going to do this; sorely, that is an impossibility.  In the <a href="https://www.bitchute.com/video/9bCE3HQK1Iq2/">video</a> I recommended in my last post, the structure of the system that we now live under is described, as I have also attempted to do in my stack of posts thus far.  This entire system is built to fit together with the few running the show; and the many, blissfully unaware of the wholesale conversion and inversion of all of creation.  Oddly and most magnificently, even with this <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/upside-down-world?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">upside - down world</a> that we find ourselves in; all of creation and its creator await for each such an One to overcome the disunity.</p><div><hr></div><h3>The &#8220;How to&#8221; of Traction</h3><p>Knowing who you are.  Sounds easy right.  I have already made it clear in many of my previous posts that One is NOT One&#8217;s NAME.  That doesn&#8217;t just go for the All Capitals version, it goes for any version of your given name or legal Registered Name.  One is not letters on any page, nor sounds that emanate from any such an One&#8217;s mouth saying the name in any version, or any title or pronoun attached.  One is not their vessel, the body.  Listening to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGxMvvHR_oM&amp;t=5s">Jerry Marzinsky</a> yesterday while I was clearing some fence lines, He and Sherry went a little deeper into the notion that One is also not One&#8217;s thoughts or emotions.  The point they were making was that in order for thoughts or emotions to present, there must be a thinker or feeler, an observer so to speak; a consciousness that is aware of the thoughts or feelings.  That is peeling a few layers off the onion, but it does attempt to get to the core of &#8220;who One is and who One is not&#8221;.  The point I am trying to make, is that it is One&#8217;s consciousness, or awareness, that centralizes this notion of who am I?  I am.  In those two words, there is an inextricable link to the observer who is aware that they are  - I am, that is who One is.  I believe that this is the &#8220;spark&#8221;, from Creator, a divine creation in us, each such an One, that is, I am.</p><p>The soul/sole consciousness that One is, is the foundational element of getting traction.  I know that I keep banging on about what happens in court.  The thing about that venue, is that it so clearly defines the different parties in contract and exchange.  It, Court, is the place where conflicts, obligations, duties, contracts, identities, titles, qualities, expectations, nearly anything actually is drilled down on and identified and resolved.  In our current courts, this of course is not very often the case.  But, it is supposed to be where logic and analysis is put to rigour to come up with an outcome that is provable, repeatable, defendable, and most importantly - <em><strong> just</strong></em>!</p><p>You do not have, nor can achieve traction when you are in the water.  Whether you are in a Citizenship, Partnership, Proprietorship, Receivership, Township, or any other Registered/Title based entity (not necessarily ending with &#8220;ship&#8221;) you will not have standing in Court, and thus not achieve the ability to &#8220;<em>pull something along a surface using motive power&#8221;.</em>   You will be defined and placed, as the Superior Claimant determines, and will be adjudicated as a sub-Corp, required to follow the <em>Diktats </em>of the jurisdiction that you are found to be in.  When in &#8220;The Court of King&#8217;s Bench for The Province of Alberta&#8221;, One is in the Jurisdiction of Alberta, the piece of paper registered as the Private Corporation &#8220;THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA&#8221; and all things <em><strong>residing</strong></em> within that jurisdiction. Which, if One volunteers to act as or for NAME, that entity which resides within that jurisdiction, then One has volunteered as surety and must comply!</p><div><hr></div><h3>The &#8220;You Performance Rule&#8221;</h3><ul><li><p>The language that I have used in the paragraph above, expresses the complexity of the &#8220;voluntary Legal Person&#8221; scheme.  Our current use of language traps us into thought patterns that are not only false but unintended as well.  I describe being in Court where <em><strong>you</strong></em> appear.  <em><strong>You</strong></em> are adjudicated.  <em><strong>You </strong></em>are found to be in some jurisdiction or other.  Many things are happening to, and with, this &#8220;<em><strong>you</strong></em>&#8221; character.  The word &#8220;you&#8221; is both singular and plural.  And it is this little subtlety that springs the trap.  If One requires that in Court, One is always referred to as a singular entity, ie: if the Judge or anyone wishes to address ARLEN PAUL, the legal fiction; make that a specific requirement to identify the party to whom they are addressing specifically.  If the Judge says &#8220;You&#8221;, he could be speaking to everyone, or anyone, in the Court room.  So do not assume that He is referring to One&#8217;s self.  When he says what sounds like your name, or NAME, require the clarity to which party He is addressing.  By your performance, of answering to NAME, you have volunteered to act as or for NAME.</p><ul><li><p>It is only as I write this that this notion of a &#8220;You Performance Rule&#8221; comes to mind.  If One learns and follows this rule, to not perform in agreement and contract when the parties are not clearly and specifically defined, I think it would go a long way to clearing up some of those muddy waters we find ourselves in.  </p></li><li><p>Remember - <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/134325311/agreement-by-performance">Performance is the highest form of agreement in Contract</a>.  It forms and binds One at the highest level, above verbal/spoken or even signed, <em>wet ink</em> or otherwise, to agreements or contracts.  </p></li></ul></li></ul><div><hr></div><p><code>In all cases, whether meeting with friends and family, or applying for a new job position, One can operate with the consciousness of who One is and who One is not.  Now, I am not suggesting that it is appropriate for everyone to toss aside all things that connect One&#8217;s self to the Corporate Fiction.  At this time, One still likely wishes to have a car, own or rent a home, have a bank account, use money, etc.  But if the shift of power is going to happen, it will be as each such an One repairs the disunity of their true selves with the Creator, the One who made you.  And first, awkwardly crawls, pulling One&#8217;s self out of the sea onto the shore, using the traction of soul to soil to eventually stand, with the paramount superior claim that I am, a (wo)man.</code></p><div><hr></div><p></p><h3>A little bit about transmissions, traction, and Tractors</h3><p></p><p>International Harvester is recognized as the first to bring what came to be called a <a href="https://www.agriculture.com/machinery/ageless-iron/international-harvesters-torque-amplifier-in-1954-sparked-a-revolution">&#8220;Powershift Transmission&#8221;</a> to market in 1954.  A powershift transmission created the very beneficial ability of not having to disengage the motor/<em>motive power</em> to shift into a different gear to go slower or faster.  It gave the ability to maintain traction and motion/<em>pulling</em> so that One could more efficiently choose the speed appropriate to the demands and situation.  If you have never had the joy of pulling an implement with a tractor, this may have no meaningfulness to you.  When pulling, an implement or a load of logs, there is very little if any <em><strong>coasting</strong></em> involved.  If you let off the throttle or push in the clutch, you quickly, and often abruptly, come to a stop.  So being in the right gear for speed and demand can be a very tricky business.  Hence, the PowerShift.  With throttle engaged and traction underway, One pulls a lever,  - and - &#8220;Bob&#8217;s your Uncle&#8221;, you&#8217;re now in another gear; no slowing down or disengagement required.  This revolutionized fieldwork and has been adopted by every tractor manufacturer.</p><p>The people have all the necessary traction available to them on the land.  The people are going to change the world.  The people are going to PowerShift the foundations of how things are done.  It will <strong>only</strong> be the people.  <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/persona-non-grata">Citizen/Person/Name</a> must submit to Politicians and Governments.  Everything Corporate, must submit to the Authorities and follow the statute code as defined by those higher up the chain of Corporatocracy.  The <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/105426469/on-innocence-transposed">CORPORATION</a> is god in this false, holographic, and inverted upside-down world.</p><p>Shift gears.  Maintain traction.  Keep moving.  Live and move on the land with consciousness and intention of who you are and who made you.  When necessary, jump in a boat and navigate the waters, with full knowledge of where you are and who is the captain of the ship and which jurisdiction you are sailing through.  It will not be your soul that is captain when out on or in the water, you will be under someone else&#8217;s authority, that you dear Reader, have voluntarily given up to that Regis.  This is not a criticism, it is a comment on jurisdiction and submission.  Know who you are and in what capacity you are acting as or for and you will know when to pull that lever, to effortlessly  <strong>powershift</strong>, with strength given you by The Father, into the required gear to keep <strong>you</strong> going where <strong>you</strong> wish to go.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

I wish I knew its origin and who made it.  It does an excellent job on covering many of the issues and ideas that I have been on about in my previous posts.  I make many presumptions on where you, dear Readers, are at in your education on things to do with giant curtains and men hiding behind them making bold pronouncements trying to scare and control everyone ;-).  This video is one of the best at laying the groundwork of how authority is given over to a false, dead, Corporate entity; either individually or even by nation.  Please take the 27 minutes out of your day to watch.</p><div><hr></div><p></p><p><a href="https://www.bitchute.com/video/9bCE3HQK1Iq2/">https://www.bitchute.com/video/9bCE3HQK1Iq2/</a></p><p></p><div><hr></div><p>If you do take the time to watch this video, as I did just now to watch a second time, you may notice a few things.   Please watch the video for yourself before you continue with what I offer below in commentary.</p><div><hr></div><ol><li><p>In the opening sequence, written along the bottom but not narrated is:</p><ol><li><p>&#8220;EyeWarnUB4Eye8U&#8221;  - I warn you before I ate you</p></li></ol></li><li><p>The overall tone of this presentation is one of anger and confrontation.  This is understandable when One discovers what the design of the system really is.  I do not choose to share this position.  Even over the time it has taken me to present my Substack posts, my position has refocused to moving myself to a place of truth and love, not anger and fraud.</p></li><li><p>The presenter offers nothing more than background of what has brought us to this point.  There is no strategy or method to remove oneself from the position of &#8220;collateral&#8221;.  And in fact, he presents that &#8220;we are the collateral&#8221;, which is not correct.  The Corporate Fiction/NAME with One volunteering to act as or for, the Citizen, would be deemed the &#8220;collateral&#8221;.  Remember, everything in that world; the corporate registered world with dead/debt notes, is <strong>&#8220;in the mirror&#8221;</strong>, upside - down/inverted, artificial and constructed.</p></li><li><p>There is commentary that I don&#8217;t fully agree with, and some which may just be conjecture, but all still worth hearing.</p></li><li><p>It ends with a somber and serious notice to mutiny.  It does not contain any direction as to what that might look like.</p></li><li><p>I have begun to offer a way to reclaim your God given rights and freedoms which do not, at this point, require violence or confrontation, but only consciousness and standing.  Key positions here are: poise, politeness, grace, and love.  Also remember, that to love your child sometimes includes discipline which can be quite harsh if necessary.  To love your enemy or the wrongdoer is not to flaccidly allow them to walk over you!  In the court, when you claim your status as <strong>(wo)man - child of the Creator,</strong> you<strong> </strong>stand above everyone else, you have the superior claim to all others acting in their artificial construct, it is your court; be the loving hand of God with grace, poise, and pertinacity.  I will speak to the issue of &#8220;Judge not lest ye be Judged&#8221; soon.  There is a flaw in the typical &#8220;Christian&#8221; interpretations of this concept, just like as I have presented in &#8220;turning the other cheek&#8221;.</p></li><li><p>Upon re-watching the video, it is uncertain as to what outcome the creator wished to have.  It may be to stir up emotions and rage at claims of fraud and deceit.  I choose to find my voice in alignment with redemption through Yeshuah - Jesus Christ, and claim my standing, as a man, given to me by The Father.  This requires my under - standing who I am and who I am not!  I am not NAME/CORPORATION/Dead Fiction; I am - a living soul in this body - a man; standing outside the jurisdiction of the CORP(se).</p></li></ol><div><hr></div><h3>More Homework</h3><p>If One feels confidant in the positions, functions, and capacities described in the video above, <a href="https://www.bitchute.com/video/9bCE3HQK1Iq2/">Dead in the Water</a>, then One could further investigate some more information contained in this video: <a href="https://www.bitchute.com/video/657cDaiYFdTL/">Opt out of TAX SLAVERY</a>, presented by Sean over at SGT Report, with his guest K.L.  </p><p>I am not endorsing any of the specific methods or opinions from the presenters in either of the videos that I have offered above.  One must determine for Oneself what is right in timing and methodology.  The &#8220;bones&#8221; of each of these videos is worth taking the time to consider, even multiple times.  Cynthia and I thought after first being exposed to these truths over 15 years ago that we &#8220;got it&#8221;.  Nope!  The grooves in the brain that are formed through decades of: &#8220;education&#8221;, training, indoctrination, patterning, practicing, and believing; take much effort, time, consideration, and repetition to overcome.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Cynthia and I had just recently returned to our farm from our calling to sunny California and the foreclosure epidemic of 2010/11.  As I have touched on previously, us two &#8220;nice Canadians&#8221; spent 14 months in Los Angeles going to court with and for people who were being foreclosed on after the manipulated and deceitful real estate and lending bubble which burst in 2008.  I was on my way down our mucky eight kilometres of gravel road on my way to a new construction gig I had just gotten through a friend, so I decided to call my Father to chat.  Our extended families did not understand nor support anything that Cynthia and I had been up to whilst down south.  There were loose suggestions that we had joined a cult or were under the spell of some Guru or other.  It was in this brief conversation that my Father, a former Lutheran pastor, made the disparaging comment about how things were in the &#8220;Real World&#8221;, directly suggesting I was not in that world, and that all that we had recently been up to was fanciful make believe fantasy.  My Father is now suffering from dementia and delusions.  Delusions that largely seem to revolve around unrecognized guests attempting to manipulate him or his wife out of their &#8220;fortunes&#8221;.  I believe that my Father&#8217;s view and value of what is real, was always related to things more of the world.  If you have been reading my posts here on Substack I think you will see that my view and value is much more for what is eternal not what is of this world.  The title of this post, &#8220;Living in the Real World?&#8221;, was spawned by his comment that day, it has stuck with me, ultimately with sadness, not for the innuendo of my foolishness and attempt to shame me, but for the tell of what his &#8220;Real World&#8221; was.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Photo Credit - Arlen</figcaption></figure></div><div><hr></div><p>What has come up for me in several conversations with Cynthia and some of my confidants as of late, is the meaning and true value of what has come to be called &#8220;Christ consciousness&#8221;.  There is a very watered down version of this, that reminds me of how children in France get to have a small glass of watered down wine at the supper table.  This watered down &#8220;Christ consciousness&#8221;, perhaps, stems from asking the question, when doubt arises in One&#8217;s life, One asks Oneself - &#8220;what would Jesus do&#8221;?  So if One attempts to replicate what they believe the actions of Jesus to be, they believe they are acting in &#8220;Christ consciousness&#8221;.  Things like: loving everybody all the time, turning the other cheek, sharing and caring, accepting anyone as who and what they are (or say that they are), generally; being loving and forgiving in all ways.  What comes along with this type of idea, is the notion of &#8220;pre-forgiveness&#8221;.  This was unfortunately the attitude that I had as a father towards my children as they were growing up.  I loved them so much, imagining this love, akin to The Father loving me, that my children did not have to ask for forgiveness when they had wronged me.  They were pre-forgiven with my love and grace.  My awareness and application of this concept was wrong - wrong - wrong - wrong - <strong>WRONG!</strong></p><p>In a drive to the city the other day, Cynthia shared with me a breakthrough that she had made while unable to sleep the previous night.  With the reading of some memes and posts, she came across some newspaper articles written by <a href="https://www.rosemond.com/">Psychologist John Rosemond</a>. </p><p><em><strong>Cynthia describing her breakthrough</strong></em></p><p> It was a parenting advice column and it was very revealing.  Rosemond&#8217;s columns were relating that the trend, occurring in the 80&#8217;s and continuing on (when our children were young), was to treat your children as they were so precious and special and that every little Johnnie and Pattie were the best thing that ever happened &#8230; . I think you get the idea.  And also that he was opposed to this trend and saw the future harm it would create for the family and society as a whole.  </p><p>So the dilemma is: Johnnie and Pattie are precious and special.  And they are also, often, the best thing that ever did happen to us.  However, as Rosemond described and predicted; what was lost in the family structure beginning in the 50&#8217;s and 60&#8217;s, was the respect and reality of a family hierarchy.  What came into fashion, which was reinforced by all the new books on how to raise children and have a happy family, what could be described as the first wave of &#8220;self help&#8221; books, was to put the children first.  Their feelings, their needs, their wants, etc. all came before the family as a whole, and most certainly the parents.  It turned the traditional family upside down, with the children at the top of the hierarchy as opposed to the Father, Mother, oldest child, on down.  An unfortunate but intentional outcome of this inversion was spoiled little children, that today, struggle with taking responsibility for themselves and their errors.  <strong>SNOWFLAKES!</strong>  I believe it was no mistake, that post WW2, with the new media of TELL-a-vision, with <strong>programs;</strong> the new version of what a family &#8220;should&#8221; look like was being (re)formed.  Not least, programming where the Father of the house was a buffoon not to be respected but laughed at, seemingly incapable of much of anything.  &#8220;The Honeymooners&#8221;, and its cartoon version &#8220;The Flintstones&#8221; (or Flinstones (mandela efffect??)), to &#8220;The Simpsons&#8221;, and so many others all portraying the Man of the house as barely capable of tying his own shoes.  Many others have written about this common idea of TV and Hollywood bringing in models intended to degrade the family structure and society as a whole, I leave that to you to verify and consider.</p><p>What I relate now, is that this same <em><strong>inversion</strong></em> of an operational hierarchy (that of the family), has been inserted into the consciousness of people as a whole with regard to our spirituality.  In the hierarchical structure that is the &#8220;family of God&#8221;, we have God The Father, Christ his son, and the Holy Ghost, perhaps some other deities like Angels etc. (depending on One&#8217;s specific beliefs) and then, we the people, his children here in this realm.  With the inversion, now, the people, the children of God, are on  top.  Like the trend of the 70&#8217;s and 80&#8217;s, to put the children as the &#8220;most&#8221; important. One is led to believe and enact that Oneself <em><strong>is</strong></em> One&#8217;s Godhead.  The spiritual hierarchy is thus turned upside down.  That is to say, that an idea of a preeminent figure, beyond Oneself, is that same &#8220;Homer Simpson&#8221; character that One transmutes as &#8220;the father figure&#8221;, to be not worthy of anything other than laughs and scorn.</p><ul><li><p><em>Godhead - <a href="https://www.gotquestions.org/Godhead.html">&#8220;deity&#8221; or &#8220;divine nature&#8221; - God&#8217;s essential nature</a> - <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/resources/encyclopedia-of-the-bible/Godhead">the state, dignity, condition or quality of a deity</a></em></p></li></ul><p>And so now, The Father, like all fathers, is to be tossed aside, without respect.  It is the &#8220;I&#8221; that matters; &#8220;that&#8217;s what mommy always told me, &#8220;&#8220;I&#8221;&#8221; am so important and special&#8221;.  It is what is floating around in all of the new age stuff as well; we are all God(!), pieces of the universe, etc.  That there is no &#8220;One&#8221; that is above, me or anyone else.  This concept creates a dissonance within itself.  If I am at the top, where is everyone else?  This is the heart of narcissism, born out of the dissonance that &#8220;I&#8221; don&#8217;t have to answer to anyone.  And yet further, am I the chicken or the egg?  Who or what created me that I must answer to?  If it is I who is at the centre of all (the seat the narcissist holds), it must be that I am the chicken and the egg!? And for that matter, the Rooster as well!  I don&#8217;t think that narcissism and poultry are inextricably related, though every morning it is evident my best rooster, thinks that he is god ;-).</p><p>Let us not forget the puppy that nips.  <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/when-the-dog-bites?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#11 When the Dog Bites . . .</a> which appears to be one of the more popular of my previous posts.  In every social group that has any form of hierarchy, at least that I am aware of, there is a need for each such an One within that group to comprehend where they sit in the hierarchy.  In the case of the puppy, he is nipping as a part of normal play, but that play has a purpose; to see who will submit and who will set him straight.  This is a fundamental need in the psycho-social development of the: puppy, infant, toddler, child, teenager, every such an One, all through life actually.  The social group of the pack, family, or any organization; functions, and has a much greater potential of success, if all the members are clear on their duties and their status within the hierarchy.  This all sounds kind of cold and calculated; seeming to lead to a kind of master slave situation, and it can lead to that in unhealthy situations.  But to the infant child, exactly like the puppy, in order to feel secure, it needs a provider and caregiver that is a strong and confident leader.  In all my experiences with dog training but one, when a stressed and unsettled, perhaps even aggressive dog, is to be dealt with, a calm but firm confident manner and method will calm the dog down as it cognates who the &#8220;Boss&#8221; is.  Very few dogs are actually &#8220;Alpha&#8221; dogs.  Young male dogs, just like young men, will challenge the leader now and again to see if there is a fracture in the hierarchy.  </p><p>Where we find ourselves now, in this modern &#8220;touchy feely&#8221; notion of safe spaces and zero tolerance proclamations; is fouling the waters.  Where those who need to be &#8220;put in their place&#8221;; instead, whimper and seek undeserved compassion instead of being encouraged to endure and grow from what is called &#8220;legitimate suffering&#8221;.  I think of the disgusting event at a swim meet, where a 50 something year old man, who &#8220;identifies as&#8221; a teenage girl, uses the same change room to strip down and put on his, female style swimsuit covering &#8220;<em>his breasts&#8221;</em>, as the teenage girls.  This notion that anyone can do or be anything they believe to be true, more specifically in this case, as to how One identifies themselves, is an extension of that same undermining force of the tearing down of the family hierarchy.</p><ul><li><p><em>To be clear, what I speak of here, the &#8220;identifying as&#8221; issue.  Is that the spoiled and over-indulged child, believes that their view on anything is paramount.  Above their peers, their parents, their society, and even if a god exists, above that as well.  &#8220;God made a mistake when he gave me a penis, or breasts, etc.&#8221;   </em></p></li></ul><p>It brings about, and substantiates the narcissist.  I &#8220;identify&#8221; as God.  Anyone can &#8220;identify&#8221; as God.  There is no reason that a man can&#8217;t &#8220;identify&#8221; as a woman Rugby player and beat the shit out of his (her) opponents, leaving them with broken bones and ruined limbs!  No problem here at all!  Men can just &#8220;identify&#8221; as female and then when they reveal their genitals to the other women, or young girls, in the change room, somehow his &#8220;identified&#8221; penis and testicles appear as a vagina!?  Of course this madness is not limited to males, the horror that is the number of teenage girls, primarily, that suffer from <a href="https://rogd.fi/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/pone.0214157.s001.pdf">ROGD, Rapid-onset Gender Dysphoria</a> that are mutilating their bodies as they &#8220;identify&#8221; as something other than what they are, is &#8216;beyond the pale&#8217;!  I can not wrap my head around this one.  The whole &#8220;identifying as&#8221; thing, is truly a vulgar masquerade of &#8216;Not God&#8217; doing his work to bring about His plan. </p><ul><li><p> <em>Disclaimer: as the DSM formerly

top and the parents as the servile care givers; what does all of this mean to One&#8217;s relationship to God?  Don&#8217;t we see all around us people acting in ways that are upside down and the opposite of submission to our creator and His order?  In many podcasts that I have listened to revolving around fundamental questions of science and creation, let alone at the base level of what has been &#8220;taught&#8221; to us as science, there seems to be a corruption of the scientific method for the purpose of maintaining the denial of God.  The evidence that is compiled becomes distorted and manipulated for the sole purpose of renouncing the fact that a designer, a superior mind, that a mind at all, conceived a plan of making things as they are, and then made them.  It&#8217;s seeming to turn out that the notion of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noj4phMT9OE&amp;t=2536s">evolution</a>, is increasingly being revealed to be <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o__yuonzGE">impossible</a>!  And in true scientific pursuit, One does not begin the undertaking with the exclusion of certain possibilities, as in: &#8220;could a creator have used some kind of design and purpose to come up with our reality?&#8221;  One must consider all possibilities and then remove the ones that don&#8217;t fit, leaving the outcome, whether One likes that outcome or not.  All modern science that I am aware of, first delineates that in the &#8220;Big Picture&#8221; at least, a Creator or Maker, does not and can not exist.  And that all manifestation of life and energy comes about by some kind of explosion and ensuing mutations.  </p><ul><li><p><em><strong>Interesting how the &#8220;development of humankind&#8221;, in this instance is</strong></em><strong> </strong><em><strong>an accident, or more accurately a monstrosity; a mutation!  This very much fits into THEIR understanding of mankind in this existence.</strong></em></p></li></ul><p>An obvious thing that seems to be lost in this effort to destroy and malign hierarchy at all, is the inescapable truth, that we are not all created equal.  And further, there are predetermined facts that make up One&#8217;s self and One&#8217;s world.  To ignore truths and facts is gonna take us to places we don&#8217;t want to go, as it has so many times throughout history.  Hierarchies are a fact and truth.  My stallions don&#8217;t come together and agree that they are all equal and will have equal time with each mare and then trot off whinnying and neighing about how one of them &#8220;identifies as&#8221; a unicorn!  I am not suggesting that we model our families, organizations or any group for that matter, in the way it goes in the animal kingdom.  But to say that a man, who identifies as a woman, can be allowed to compete in physical competitions against females is preposterous.  It is no wonder that some women, who will stand up to this idiocy, are walking off the court or competition platforms.</p><p>Just as God The Father <em><strong>is</strong></em> the creator and master, and Christ <em><strong>is </strong></em>the Head of the Church, the husband <em><strong>is</strong></em> the head of the family, like it or not.  That does not mean that the husband will fill this role.  I know many families where the husband has clearly given up that position to the wife.  That is not what God commands.</p><ul><li><p>Ephesians 5 verses 22-24, KJV: <em><strong><sup>22&nbsp;</sup></strong>Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.  <strong><sup>23&nbsp;</sup></strong>For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.  <strong><sup>24&nbsp;</sup></strong>Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.</em></p></li><li><p>1 Peter 3 verse 7, KJV: <em><strong><sup>&nbsp;</sup></strong>Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs <strong>together</strong> of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered</em>.</p><p></p></li></ul><p>And most importantly, as The Father loves each and every One of us, the husband is directed to love his wife.  Submission to another is a significant task, whether it be to God, or a husband.  To love another is yet the greater task.  Fairness is not what God intended when he layed out the rule book on how to live as a family, spiritually or physically.  The reality and necessity for a hierarchy to be formed is not negotiable, it is specified and inherent in all relationships, whether we choose to admit it or not.  If you think that a hierarchy, a difference of: faster, stronger, bigger, smarter, etc. is not inherent, go ask the female athletes that were dominated physically by those men in competition.  I am not suggesting that men are better than women in any way, there is no question as to each having value.  I am standing on the fact and truth that One is what One <em><strong>is</strong></em>, not what they &#8220;say&#8221; they are.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Tempered, by Love</h3><ul><li><p><em>When I was a small boy, I remember my father and my older brothers heating and forming some pieces of steel.  They cooled it by dipping it in a pail of water.  When the red hot steel hit the water and the water immediately bubbled and steamed I was awestruck!  They then explained to me that this type of &#8216;quenching&#8217; would make the steel harder, but more brittle.  A process of &#8216;tempering&#8217; was required to make it tougher and more resilient.  In the case of steel and other metals, a controlled process of heating and cooling enables the character of the steel to change.  Same steel, different qualities.  Achieved through tempering.</em></p></li></ul><p>As The Father is at the top of One&#8217;s spiritual hierarchy, and a father is at the top of his families hierarchy, it is love that disqualifies that notion of master and slave I mentioned above.  When we can finally bring ourselves before the Lord in submission, with humility, the love that he returns is beyond measure.  His rule over us could be ruthless and terrible, where the notion of &#8220;free will&#8221; would be out the window.  Now I am aware that I say this from, in my view, quite a comfortable position.  It would seem quite easy for me to say that God loves me.  Look around at the comfort and security that surrounds Cynthia and myself.  Such was not the case a decade ago.  We had the gift of true malevolence thrust upon us and our lives.  Jordan Peterson in his clinical practice witnessed this in a few of his patients, and it was through this purview, he describes, that he became aware of the significance and comprehensive destruction that often follows such attacks.</p><p>Not everyone has experienced true malevolence, the severity and meaningfulness is difficult to convey.  However, the love of God, that like the <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/providence-and-fortune?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">two fingers under Cynthia&#8217;s armpits or catching of the pallet forks</a>, held us up through the almost decade long assaults (this is a personal matter that I may discuss in future).  So it is this strength and power that He offers us in return for our submission.  Of course the offer of redemption stands for each such an One, regardless of their level of submission.  Submission is a request, not a demand.  One chooses to submit as a child of God or as a wife of a husband.  It is that gift of free will again, he does not force and bind us to slavery in submission, and the same goes for the loving husband, he does not demand submission either, but lovingly stands in strength and confidence to lead his family.  It is all about the love, always, and in all ways.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Tempered by, legitimate suffering</h3><p>Around the time of my witnessing the quenching of the steel by my father and brothers, another thing happened that stays with me.  My Grandfather was visiting and the &#8220;men&#8221; were going to do some work in the garage.  When I went along to join in, my Grandfather turned and said that this was no place for little boys.  I was four or five at the time and I had participated with my brothers in some of the &#8220;big boy&#8221; projects working in the garage at that point, so I felt very hurt by his words.  What my Grandfather was doing, was not calling me down or slagging me, he was asserting that I was a little boy, and that it was dangerous, power tools and such, and that it was not a safe place for me.  This is an example of an operational hierarchy.  Although I was somewhat aware of the dangers of &#8220;garage work&#8221;, he felt, as my superior and caregiver that it was no place for me.  The legitimate part of this pain is that I felt pain and Grandpa was not only right, about safety and such, but also that his position on this hierarchy was at the top.  He did not say it to put me in my place, but it did in fact teach me that lesson.</p><p>This is the lesson, legitimately given, that so many of the snowflakes and &#8220;safe space&#8221; seekers need to be given.  &#8220;This is not your show!  You do not sit at the top!  Everything is not all about you!  You do not always get to have what you want!&#8221;  That a child, just recently an infant, can make the proclamation that they feel like, or want to be the opposite sex, is preposterous.  Through loving correction and firm guidance, which will almost always cause a little discomfort or pain, as my Grandfather&#8217;s words surely did, One rights their attitudes about One&#8217;s place or desires.  It is not a free for all, where anything goes.  Hierarchy is all around us all the time.  If I don&#8217;t supply the lessons and affirmations in the barnyard, to all the participants, man or beast, someone could be seriously injured or worse.  It is not up for debate or negotiation as to what is acceptable behaviours and what will not, ever, be tolerated.  The need for a little bit of legitimate suffering to maximize the future potential for all involved, goes a long way.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Back to the Christ Consciousness thing</h3><p>In a recent discussion, I found my description of the truths that are conveyed in what is called the &#8220;New Testament&#8221;, form a <em>codice, </em>wherein truths and manner are outlined as to how One might choose to live.  If the goal is a life of growth and expansion, not simply for Oneself, but for a family, a society, or a community.  Many communities form a people, and if &#8220;a people&#8221; can grow and expand in health, love, and truth; I am thinking that that is the goal of Our Father and his Son.  However, this notion of growth and happiness stands as an afront to &#8216;Not God&#8217;.  This is the antithesis of His goal.  Death, destruction, a whole lot of pain and suffering represents the convergence of His interests.  And so it should be.  We have light and darkness, life and the opposite of life (live), evil, and happiness and joy juxtaposed by affliction and torment.  And we come back to each such an One, which wolf will you feed?</p><p>I feel that that the notion of feeding the &#8220;holy and righteous&#8221; wolf is just the beginning of a consciousness that is Christ-centric.  From Latin &#8220;<em>Christus</em>&#8221;, to Greek &#8220;<em>Khristos&#8221;, </em>and the Hebrew <em>Mashiah (messiah), </em>they all<em> </em>mean &#8220;<em>the Anointed</em>&#8221;.  Although there is much talk of the &#8220;Christ&#8221; part of His name, in the early church at least, as almost a last name, not as a descriptive term wherein His countenance would be described as &#8220;<em>anointed&#8221;.  </em>It was His way of being, how he expressed himself, and how he handled his interactions with any and everyone, that brought about an awareness in the observer, of his <em>anointed </em>quality.  That is to say, He was extraordinary!  He had knowledge and a <em><strong>purity</strong></em> that shone forth like a bright light, that caused the people to believe his words and to follow his example.  He is: the truth, the light, and the way!</p><ul><li><p>John 8 verse 12 KJV: <strong><sup>&nbsp;</sup></strong><em>Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.</em></p></li><li><p>1 John 1 verse 6-7 KJV: <em><strong><sup>6&nbsp;</sup></strong>If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:  <strong><sup>7&nbsp;</sup></strong>But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.</em></p></li><li><p>2 Corinthians 4 verse 6 KJV: <em><strong><sup>6&nbsp;</sup></strong>For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.</em></p></li><li><p>Matthew 5 verse 14-16 KJV: <em><strong><sup>14&nbsp;</sup></strong>Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.  <strong><sup>15&nbsp;</sup></strong>Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.  <strong><sup>16&nbsp;</sup></strong>Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.</em></p><p></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><div><hr></div><h3>So what is each such an One to do?</h3><p>Last night I re-watched a movie that fails not to move me each time we see it.  The remake of &#8220;True Grit&#8221;.  I know that Hollywood has produced a package that is meant to manipulate me and cause some kind of reaction, either for the exaggeration or reduction of some kind of emotional response.  I have a faint remembrance of John Wayne in the character of &#8220;Rooster Cogburn&#8221; in the 1969 version.  John Wayne was a hero actor of my childhood.  However, in this version, 2010, with Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon as the heroes, it is Hailee Steinfeld&#8217;s portrayal of the character &#8220;Mattie Ross&#8221; that particularly is of interest.  Mattie&#8217;s comprehension of &#8220;Replevin Bonds&#8221; and the &#8220;transfer of title&#8221; and the timing and significance of these &#8220;transactions&#8221; and &#8220;obligations&#8221;, and who was the &#8220;holder&#8221; of interest and accountability that brings such meaning to these mundane negotiations.  I guess the reality of her father being murdered and the possibility of the family farm/ranch being in jeopardy, may bring a higher significance to the merchant code of conduct buried within the UCC, but this same answerability is ever-present in all of our exchanges.</p><p>So like &#8220;Mattie&#8221;, in the movie, we can choose to take responsibility for that which is happening around us.  She chose to risk life and limb (watch the movie!!!)!  So, what is your situation? Where does One find One&#8217;s self compromised or in jeopardy?  Use that as your guide as to where to act. </p><ul><li><p>Isaiah 41 verse 10 KJV: <em><strong><sup>&nbsp;</sup></strong>Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.</em></p></li></ul><p>To strive for the quality of being &#8220;anointed&#8221; is to live in Christ Consciousness.  Jesus, mentally and spiritually, was in complete submission to The Father.  His consciousness was <a href="https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/joined-at-the-hip.html">&#8216;joined at the hip&#8217;</a> to his father&#8217;s.  So let us connect to that consciousness, that is from above, that is outlined and specified, quantified and defined within the Bible as a whole and particularly, in what we call the New Testament.  Jesus in these documents and histories lays down a pretty good &#8216;guidebook&#8217; as to what to do when and how.  If One is unsure, submit yourself to The Father through prayer.  Christ Consciousness is awareness and connection to source that comes through knowledge and dedication. Again:</p><ul><li><p>Hosea 4 verse 6 KJV: <strong><sup>&nbsp;</sup></strong><em>My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge,</em> . . .</p></li></ul><p>Anointing was literally done with holy oil being placed upon the head of the One to be anointed and then it was rubbed/massaged into the scalp, hair, head, mind, and consciousness of the anointed One.  I do not believe that Jesus passed some kind of test of awesomeness, such that he would have his head rubbed with olive oil in a ceremony.  What I do believe, is that this notion of anointment, or more specifically living in a way, carrying the weight of that knowledge and consciousness in humility and acting in love, is what is recognized in Jesus&#8217; countenance.  I also believe that to emulate this, is the point of attempting to live in Christ Consciousness.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Who Cares?</h3><p>The answer &#8212; everyone!: the Judge, the Police Officer, the political representative, the agent of every public institution, your spouse, your children, your business partners, and most importantly The Father.

cousins&#8221;.  I had taken hockey quite seriously as a boy culminating in my last year playing Midget AAA for the Edmonton Canadians.  The cousins came to Edmonton for Christmas Celebration with our family on Boxing Day (now if you are from the region known as Canada, you will know that this is Dec. 26th, the day after Christmas Day), they were from a nearby small city Camrose, and stayed over so that we could play at the rented indoor arena the next morning at six AM.  Renting an &#8220;indoor&#8221; arena was a pretty big deal.  Up until this point, all of our annual family battles took place on real frozen outdoor rinks or lakes.  So it was, this pretty &#8216;big deal&#8217; that was on all of our minds as we wrapped up the Christmas festivities and headed to bed, so that we all might be ready for - the &#8220;big&#8221; game.  </p><p>It was 1983, and Cynthia and I had been serious for just over a year, being all of 17 years, we &#8216;knew&#8217; that we, each, had found &#8220;the One&#8221; in each other.  I used to think that being mature for my years was normal or common, I now appreciate that when we, two 16 year olds promised ourselves to each other, it truly was for keeps.  And so on this Boxing Day evening, when my 17 year old girlfriend was leaving our family festivities, only to rejoin us the next AM for the &#8216;big&#8217; game, I awaited her call.  Way back in 1983, cell phones were what was shown on the wrists of the cast of Star Trek, so we stuck to the wired telephone that always had a &#8216;connection&#8217;.  The deal was that: when we left each other, Cynthia or myself, the One that was traveling, would call the other, as soon as we got home.  So, on December 26th, 1983 at about 11pm, Cynthia left me, my family, and my cousins to head home, with the commitment to call me as soon as she arrived.</p><p>It normally took 15 to 20 minutes to navigate the journey from my family home in West Edmonton, to her family home in Riverbend.  On this particular evening it was especially cold!  Now I know that I have already bragged about the &#8220;real Canadian Winter&#8221; that produces frozen lakes, ponds, and outdoor rinks, to play hockey on anytime from late October to April, but on this particular evening it was REALLY COLD!!  Approaching -40C which oddly aligns with 40 below Fahrenheit.</p><p>It was after 11:30 that the phone finally rang.  I answered quickly, as my family was already in bed, and trepidatiously said, hello.?  It was not the voice of my beloved.  It was the voice of a stranger, telling me quickly, that my girlfriend Cynthia had asked her to call me to tell me that she was OK!?!?  And that, she had had an accident, she was stuck in her car, the fire department, police, and ambulance were all on site, but when she, the stranger had left the scene, Cynthia, was still unable to be removed from her car!!!</p><p>So I put on my parka over my pajamas and headed to the site that the stranger had described, only five minutes from my home.  I arrived to find flashing red lights, blue lights, yellow lights, and emergency vehicles EVERYWHERE!  Many times since, I have watched the movie &#8220;SIGNS&#8221;, where Mel Gibson is arriving on the scene of his wife&#8217;s accident, and flashed back to that dark and cold midnight in 1983.  Cynthia had forewarned the emergency crew that I would be arriving at some point, so when the emergency staff parted like the Red Sea before me, like Moses, I was not only surprised but felt a little bit important!  I got to the crumpled car to see that my beloved was: not only alive, in one piece, but cracking jokes with anyone that was nearby!  She was still &#8216;stuck&#8217; in the car, which is hard to explain.  A picture does say a thousand words.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

sitting!</figcaption></figure></div><div><hr></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div><hr></div><p>Cynthia explains it like this: &#8220;as the car was spinning around backwards on the icy road, it felt as though there were two fingers, that came from behind me, as I saw the post coming directly towards me, that gently lifted me up by the armpits from the drivers seat and over to the middle of the car&#8221;.  The car ended up wrapped around a light post.  With the light post ending up almost in the middle of the car with all of the steel of the car body, folded around the post with Cynthia, inside the car, folded around the steel around the same post.  The car had a bench front seat that bent in half upwards, in the middle, providing the other slice of bread to make a Cynthia sandwich.  Her foot had caught under the gas pedal as she was being moved to the centre.  When I looked at the car then, and now these photos, it truly seems unbelievable that the driver of that car was not squished and crushed if not killed.  When she was finally disentangled from the car, the Paramedics lifted her onto a stretcher and off to the hospital we went.  Upon examination, she was released with a bruised knee, some small glass cuts to her left forearm, and proceeded to walk out virtually unscathed.</p><p>We lost the hockey game that year ;-)</p><div><hr></div><p></p><p>It was in the late 90&#8217;s and early 2000&#8217;s when skid steers were becoming more popular on acreages and farms.  Prior to that time, small tractors were the primary working machine.  The manufacturers of tractors saw an opportunity to overlap in this marketplace by mounting a &#8220;skid steer&#8221; quick attach on to the front end loaders on tractors.  That way the multiplicity of attachments that fit on skid steers, or &#8220;bobcats&#8221; as they were first called, could also be used on their tractors.</p><p>We in fact have a 2003 Kubota tractor with one of these self same skid steer quick attach adapters.  It was on November 16th, 2023, just the littlest bit shy of being exactly 40 years since 10 firefighters picked up the back of Cynthia&#8217;s car to manhandle it away from that light post, allowing the door to be pried open thus extricating my beloved; that I was also to be squished.  Our Kubota tractor had developed a case of no charge.  Which in mechanic speak means a bad alternator.  The battery was not being charged by the faulty alternator, requiring it, the battery, to be charged by a plug in battery charger each night, almost like a Tesla.  So until such time that I was able to replace the alternator; each evening, I would lift the front end loader up all the way, so that I could open the hood to get to the battery to hook it up and plug it in so that it would be ready for the next day.  </p><p>So after a long day of fencing, and the cold night and darkness at hand, I once again headed with my little trusty tractor for the battery charger.  My last chore of the day had been to haul water to the cows which I use the skid steer style pallet fork attachment to move my 250 gallon water tank with my tractor.  As I got to the battery charger, I raised the front loader all the way up, about 10&#8217; in the air, when I heard the sound of clanging steel.  I have been around equipment all of my life, and although I could not see anything in the blackness, I instantly knew exactly what was happening.  The pallet fork attachment, some 10&#8217; up in the air, had detached and was sliding down the tractor loader arms headed straight for me in the driver&#8217;s seat.  My particular pallet fork attachment weighs almost six hundred pounds.  So as time slowed and I heard it making its way down to me, I prepared for the impact.  It came to rest in my lap.  And of course, my foot was on the hydrostatic foot pedal, which I call the &#8220;go pedal&#8221;, so with six hundred pounds of steel on my legs, my foot was pushed into the full speed ahead mode.  Lurching forward, straight for where the cars were parked, with me unable to lift my foot off of the go pedal!  So with strength I did not know I possessed, or perhaps a couple of fingers from above assisting, I/we lifted the fork attachment off of my legs, shifting it off the side of the tractor, off of me, off of the go pedal, and coming to rest impacting only one of our cars.  This all happened in a fraction of a second.</p><p>I turned the tractor off, and looking down at my legs with the headlamp that I wear for working at night, I was afraid that my legs had been destroyed.  I called for help, twice, Cynthia came running from the house into the blackness not knowing where I was.  As she shouted for me to answer her, I was unable.  She thought my last words would be &#8220;help, help!&#8221;  Alas, my earbuds were still in, listening to I don&#8217;t remember who&#8217;s podcast, and I could not hear Cynthia&#8217;s desperate call.  She found me, sitting in the tractor seat, wondering what on earth had happened.  She knew immediately from my voice that this was dire.  She ran to get her phone and told me don&#8217;t move, I&#8217;m calling for help.  I once again looked down at my legs and after seeing no blood (compound fracture or laceration), I poked at my thighs.  The pain was significant but not overwhelming.  I rubbed my hands up and down and prodded once again.  I then put a little weight on my feet and stood up.  Nothing broken!  I slowly dismounted from the tractor and walked cautiously into the house, to Cynthia&#8217;s dropped jaw and confusion at seeing me upright under my own locomotion.  I took many doses of arnica and a couple of Aspirins and went to bed.  A few more thousand words.</p><div><hr></div><div class="image-gallery-embed" data-attrs="{&quot;gallery&quot;:{&quot;images&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/heic&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0fd2f141-6213-4863-a13a-2c1787b11905.heic&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3d1884f4-0255-4bb2-8a64-66521cd6995c_3321x3024.jpeg&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/heic&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/97bd57f9-0404-40a5-b670-4c8f12a915d0.heic&quot;},{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/heic&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/959f74b0-e215-42b4-b2ca-4ffd7d6da4ae.heic&quot;}],&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;I'm glad my legs don't look like that steering wheel&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;staticGalleryImage&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0b007b6e-f25a-4014-afea-035d9a3d7c6c_1456x1456.png&quot;}},&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><div><hr></div><ul><li><p><em>Through a little bit of investigation and measurement, it seems that although the Japanese are incredible manufacturers and engineers, they slipped up back in 2003.

This happens every single day, to all of you and the rest of the world.  It is often attempted to be described as &#8220;super-natural&#8221;, these things which we call miracles or acts of God.  Or in the alternative, the actions and temptations of demons or Satan.</code></p><div><hr></div><h3>~ Super - natural?</h3><ul><li><p><em><strong>etymology</strong></em> - from Latin <em>super</em> "above" + <em>natura</em> "nature"</p></li><li><p><em><strong>defined as</strong></em> - &#8220;<a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/creature">creatures</a>, forces, and events are <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/believe">believed</a> by some people to <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/exist">exist</a> or <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/happen">happen</a>, although they are <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/impossible">impossible</a> according to <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/scientific">scientific</a> laws.&#8221; <em><strong>Collins online</strong></em></p></li></ul><p>And so we have come to define the actions of Angels, demons, God, or Satan as outside of the realm of reality, or nature.  Now this is of course allowing for the definition of nature to be that which &#8220;science&#8221; describes and restricts as the &#8220;laws of nature&#8221;.  This is not the same as Natural Law, which is God&#8217;s Law.  See my post <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/when-the-dog-bites?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;showWelcomeOnShare=true">&#8220;When the Dog Bites&#8221;</a>, where I cover some of the understandings of Natural Law.  Nature, as it is described by science, does not include anything that is of a spiritual essence.  This is of course related to the exclusion of a creator, being the origin of the Universe as we know it.  &#8220;Science&#8221; betrays its own &#8220;Scientific Method&#8221;, where one is to observe the evidence and then make hypotheses, (plural) based on that observation.  So when making a hypothesis on how Cynthia and I walked away practically undamaged from the examples above, and further how not wearing the safety belt was instrumental in that outcome, I believe, that science would only say that it was chance.  Science can not include the action of the unseeable spirit acting in our dimension of reality.  In fact, the cross platforms of science don&#8217;t even seem to be communicating with each other.  Physics and metaphysics is &#8220;scientifically&#8221; proving the forces of unseen action and impact on the outcomes of experimentation, and yet, that provable unseen action and impact, is not allowed to be one of the hypotheses to refute, when it comes to creation and evolution.  As in; we put forward all potential hypotheses, the scientific method, and then refute the ones which prove false.  So if unseen forces can act over here, and we accept them as scientific fact, THEY cannot apply that to the origins of life?!  It can only be evolution and all of its &#8220;spiritually absent&#8221; explanations.</p><p>The use of the term &#8220;Super - natural&#8221; makes a mockery of all spiritual force, it reinforces the lie, that science or &#8220;truth&#8221;, proves that there is no God.  And that those who believe and have faith in that which science has disproven, are fanatical and dangerous.  </p><p>If these spiritual forces are accepted as &#8220;super&#8221; - natural, then they are outside of and above nature, which further separates each such an One from his Creator.  We live in nature and God is far away, in another realm, as we pray in the Lord&#8217;s Prayer, &#8220;Our Father which art in heaven &#8230;&#8221;. And so it is that we are separated from all that is spiritual and it has no relationship to our &#8220;real world&#8221;.</p><p>This is all mind control.  The use of words and under - standing to limit One&#8217;s - self from the truth that spirits, both good and evil, are around us having impact on our &#8220;real&#8221; lives everyday.</p><div><hr></div><p></p><h3>~ Supernal</h3><p></p><ul><li><p><em><strong>etymology</strong></em> - "heavenly, divine, celestial," from Old French <em>supernal</em> "supreme" (12c.) and directly from Medieval Latin <em>supernalis</em>, from Latin <em>supernus</em> "situated above, that is above; celestial"</p></li><li><p> <em><strong>defined as</strong></em> -</p><p> <strong>1.&nbsp;</strong>being in or <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/belong">belonging</a> to the heaven of divine beings; heavenly, celestial, or divine</p><p><strong>2.&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/lofty">lofty</a>; of more than <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/earthly">earthly</a> or <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/human">human</a> <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/excellence">excellence</a>, powers, etc</p><p><strong>3.&nbsp;</strong>being on high or in the sky or <a href="https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/visible">visible</a> heavens.      <em><strong>Collins online</strong></em></p></li></ul><p>This word, which is hardly used, I feel, far better connects the thought, the feeling, and the reality of; forces that we cannot see but are ever - present all around us.  These forces in the physical sense, &#8220;lift by the armpits&#8221;, or attach a million invisible helium balloons to chunks of steel.  Or in the less physical, the opening, softening, or changing of One&#8217;s heart, the feelings One holds toward another.  Or the revelation of truth when ALL seem to be against and denying that truth.  The action that comes about from prayer and intention in the unseen realms is supernal.  Above and Below are part of our reality, call them Heaven and Hell, or the sky and inner earth, they are real and exist.  A simple one that Cynthia reminds me of; magnetism.  One can not see it, touch it, feel it directly (except for the few extremely sensitive), and yet the force that it applies and the very real physical effect it has on all kinds of things is undeniable.  So what is so different between magnetism and: the unseen spiritual force that does indeed force/have an effect.  </p><p>It is this separation that the mind control masters are seeking.  The separation from the actual reality of the unseen impacts of God&#8217;s love for us, that is promised:</p><ul><li><p>Matthew 18 verse 20 KJV: <em>For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.</em></p></li><li><p>2 Corinthians 3 verse 17 KJV: <em>Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.</em></p></li><li><p>Ephesians 3 verses 16 - 20 KJV: <em><strong><sup>16</sup></strong>That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;</em></p><p><em><strong><sup>17&nbsp;</sup></strong>That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,</em></p><p><em><strong><sup>18&nbsp;</sup></strong>May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;</em></p><p><em><strong><sup>19&nbsp;</sup></strong>And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.</em></p><p><em><strong><sup>20&nbsp;</sup></strong>Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,</em></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><p></p><p>Standing down the whole Malibu police department, 20 officers from Montana Highway Patrol - Border Services - Kalispell Police Department extorting $500 cash from me at the side of the highway, every single court appearance, standing over my shoulder as I write any document or in fact these posts, and most obviously walking with me and leading me through each days work; the hand of God is unseen, but most incontrovertibly with me.  This is the power of God which I mentioned in my last post about establishing a <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/arise-stand-up-in-knowledge-and-enliven?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">superior claim</a>.  I fail in my faith, to some degree, every day.  I do not have 100% rock solid unwavering faith in my creator and redeemer every minute of everyday in every hardship.  I am a man, and thus have weakness.  I know with complete confidence that he is always with me, and yet I have moments of temptation and doubt.  Even if in those moments of weakness, I have forgotten the truth and unfailing power of his love and that it is ever-present, I attempt to be faithful and I ask for his grace to uphold me in my failings.  The miracles and the menaces that happen in our reality, without seeming explanation, are real.  They are the supernal.  </p><p>The title to this post is &#8220;Providence and Fortune&#8221;.  To do with the unseen, Providence -"God's beneficent care, guardianship, or guidance".  I use it here, with clear directive, as being of and from The Father.  Fortune, on the other hand, "chance, luck as a force in human affairs", is happenstance or good luck, as in good fortune.  The first is with intent and purpose, the latter is without guidance, intent, or purpose.  I do not pray for good luck.  The Father does not provide good luck, he provides &#8220;beneficent care, guardianship, (and) guidance&#8221;.  And most especially if we ask for it, and if you can get together with another such and One or maybe even two or three, all the better.</p><p>We can rely on God to strengthen and preserve us, that we may endure whatever trespass we must stand against.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

compelled to start out the year with a few thoughts pertaining to action and performance.  The action, which I believe we are all looking for, at least those who recognize that the train is careening towards the station at ever increasing speed and it seems the brakes have failed, is; what to do about it?  If you have read my preceding posts, hopefully you will see that there are some options for each such an One.</em></p><div><hr></div><h4><code>Any and ALL dead entities (CORPORATIONS), without a soul, are also claimed by &#8216;Not God&#8217;, unless(!), the orator, enlivening that entity, for the purpose of service to The Father and his fellow man, perfects his superior claim by the power of God.</code></h4><div><hr></div><p><code>~ How does One perfect a superior claim?</code></p><p><code>~ What is the power of God (or put more simply - truth)?</code></p><p>Currently, it is my opinion and experience that every Court Room and Judge is playing out of a rule book which does not give the option for One to &#8220;<em>perfect a superior claim&#8221; </em>to any CORPORATION that has been registered.  Typically in that Court, One is acting as or for an inferior Corporation, the NAME, and has no authority to overcome the whole Court and Registry sham.  When One appears in any court, &#8220;representing&#8221; the NAME/CORP(se)/person, One has surrendered One&#8217;s self and submitted to the AUTHORITY of the Court/Judge/BAR etc. and the Judge will do everything in his power to STOP any and all movement to take the court into truth, justice, goodness, or righteousness.  He, the Judge, as well as ALL the other Lawyers, including the one that you think is working for you, are BAR Members, and will steer the court back to Their Rule Book.  They will not give a man or woman standing, unless they are forced, by, are you ready &#8212; the power of God.  </p><p>One does not have to have any other position regarding The Father, other than that, a creator, One greater than I exists.  And that, a thing called truth exists.  And that that truth sits in opposition to: lies, cheating, stealing, harming, taking advantage etc.  Whether or not that &#8220;truth&#8221; is identified as God, Allah, Creator, Mother Earth, Universe what have you, is secondary to the standing and fact that it, truth, exists.  It is not something that is made up, or brought about by coalition or agreement.  Truth is truth is truth.  John Lennox, in an interview on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgqFhkLFfSE&amp;t=691s">Practical Wisdom Podcast</a>, covers some interesting views on what the truth is.  I do not share his use and meaning of the word &#8220;Person&#8221;, I believe he is using the word person to describe an individual, or a sole consciousness as is found in a particular soul.</p><p>If you have read my series of posts &#8220;#<a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/traction-and-distraction?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">13.1</a>, <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/traction-and-distraction-2?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">.2</a>, and <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/traction-and-distraction-3?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">.3</a>, <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/traction-and-distraction?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">Traction and Dis - traction</a>&#8221;, I have laid out how I brought truth to my position, and my relationship to, the Prosecutor and the Court.  In this particular case, it quickly ended in all charges being withdrawn by the Prosecutor.  The Crown brought no action against either the man or the NAME.  What is outlined in the agreement that I formed with the woman acting as Crown Prosecutor, were simple truths.  Truths which The BAR and The CROWN choose to sidestep unless they are forced not to.  The Judge will happily allow you to slide into &#8220;the sea of ALL things CORPORATE&#8221;, even if it hinges on only one little scrap of truth.  This is what the Judge did to me in the case I described in &#8220;<a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/traction-and-distraction?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;showWelcome=true">#13, Traction and Dis - Traction</a>&#8221;.  After all my documents and filings, statements and questions, wherein I was grasping to the shore and trying to stay out of the water, He simply called me Mister, and I mistakenly accepted the title, thus rendering all of my work moot.  By my performance of that one little action, acquiescence to his offer, thus accepting that I would stand as a Mister; creating agreement to tether myself to his boat as we sailed out on the Corporate sea.</p><p>It was after this that I worked on perfecting my claim.  &#8220;I am a man&#8221; said I.  What I am not is a dead fiction.  The private agreement with the Prosecutor achieved this goal.  Creating the standing that I could not be adjudicated and punished for something that could not exist in the Jurisdiction in which I was standing, that being the land of the living.  All of her documents, procedure, and Statute Code only applies to Citizens, persons, NAMEs, or any thing CORPORATE.  In the Jurisdiction of men and women there was no issue between her, her boss (in this case both the CROWN and the BAR), and the man Arlen Paul.</p><ul><li><p><em><strong>In my post, The Body Corporate, we did a dive into some interpretations and understanding of what corporate and corporation mean.  In the above paragraph the &#8220;Citizen, person, NAMEs, or any thing CORPORATE&#8221; all refer to those that have been registered.  With that Registration creating a bond all the way up to the CROWN/City of London.  A distinction which I endeavour to expand on now is the perfection of a superior claim to, and the jurisdiction of, a corporation, that is bonded to and by the highest authority, God.</strong></em></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h3>IRS Form 56, CRA Form T1013 . . . ~ Fiduciary Appointment</h3><p><em>In an effort to free myself from the CRA, same as the IRS in America, I supplied the following documents: a cover letter followed by a CRA form T1013.

My last voluntary filing for personal income tax was for the year 2008.</em></p><div><hr></div><div><hr></div><p>When Cynthia and I were getting serious as a couple, the fall of 1982 when we were in grade 11 (11th grade for you Americans ;-), I was introduced to her cousins.  These two <em>self-assertive, </em>young girls were a handful.  I had not been teased and toyed with so successfully by anyone else that I could remember.  The first question they asked me upon meeting me the first time was, &#8220;do you know your name?&#8221;, to which I responded, &#8220;Arlen(?)&#8221;.  &#8220;Are you able to spell that&#8221; they asked?  I was unaware that they were so deftly having there way with me, as they ran away laughing.  I digress.</p><p>Cynthia, her brother, and these two cousins, invented a game which they played when they spent time together at their Gram&#8217;s house during summer and Christmas break.  They lived 5 hours apart so time together was treasured.  The game was called &#8220;Realistic&#8221;.  They created a pretend world, where they each had jobs and duties that was a microcosm copy of reality, hence the brilliant name, Realistic.  Cynthia&#8217;s brother was the bus driver, the policeman, and the farmer; Cynthia was the florist and the teacher; and the cousins were the hair dresser, ran the restaurant etc.  Each position was paid in made up money.  They spent hours drawing the money and then photo copying and cutting by hand each note.  They exchanged their money for services and goods, and had a mock &#8216;child&#8217;s view&#8217; of what was happening out in the <em>real </em>world.  Canadian dollars had no value in Realistic, only the money that they created could be used.  Rules could be made up or changed, as the game makers, these children in this case, felt appropriate or fun. </p><h4><code>This is exactly what is happening in the existing Registered Corporatocracy.</code></h4><div><hr></div><div><hr></div><h3>Back to superior claims and truth.</h3><p>Strangely, it appears that the <em><strong>Devil&#8217;s Concordat</strong></em> contains clauses, that restrict the behaviours of  &#8216;Not God&#8217;.  It is not a free for all, where THEY can do anything they want, any time.  They must not contravene the truth.  Now why would a cheater, stealer, murderer, manipulator, etc. have any respect for the truth?  I see two reasons:</p><ol><li><p> The truth stands after all erosion and deterioration.  It becomes &#8220;self evident and self explanatory&#8221; that the truth stands, exposed and naked, the lie, degrades over time, and is revealed for what it is.  And so, the Enemy, lives by this rule of time and truth.  That if one lies, it will be exposed, sooner or later.</p></li><li><p>There seems to be a balance within the psyche of consciousness.  The consciousness I speak of here is in each such an One as well as collectively in all things living.  For consciousness to maintain, to carry on, it cannot be only swirling in an ever-changing topsy turvy state of disarray, tumult, and destruction.  At times this is absolutely the case, but there must be the ability to &#8220;right&#8221; oneself.  There must be an attainable balance.  Like the keel on a boat, that provides the ability to steer a course and move in an intentional direction, truth brings order to the chaos and confusion that we encounter all around us. </p></li></ol><p>So even &#8216;Not God&#8217; must have some order, such that He can carry out his plans for destruction and the spoliation of man, the cherished children of his enemy.  I believe that THEY, break this rule of obeying truths all of the time.  However, a price must be exacted, a punishment or eventual restriction comes as a result of each transgression against the truth.  I do mean, punishment or restriction to &#8216;Not God&#8217; and his minions.  If the Judge and the Prosecutor wished to, they could have just made something up and tossed me into jail.  I know of many who are currently in jail, awaiting trial, some without even being charged, where even THEIR Corporate Statute Code is not being followed.  This is breaking the rules and is certainly standing on lies not truth.  There will be, in time, payment extracted from those who are transgressing the law and the truth, even if we don&#8217;t live to see it.</p><p>Yet another example of the necessity, by either Natural Law or this Concordat I reference, to obey some kind of truth rule is found in the documents that comprise the tax code that the CRA/IRS/etc. must follow.  It was in my earliest study around 2008, as my second son Caleb was demanding that I consider all of this commerce and law stuff and that there were truths that were hidden in plain sight that I began to see.  It was Mary Croft&#8217;s book, &#8220;<a href="https://archive.org/details/mary_elizabeth_croft_how_i_clobbered_ucc/mode/2up">How I Clobbered Every Bureaucratic Cash-Confiscatory Agency Known To Man</a>&#8221;, that really helped me see the rabbit hole that I was about to dive into.  It is written in the tax codes that personal income tax is voluntary.  When One stops accepting the &#8220;benefit privilege&#8221;, that of being a tax slave, One can free themself from this trick.  What must accompany you on this journey out of voluntary slavery is knowledge, specifically the knowledge that has to do with One&#8217;s performance and a clear understanding of acquiescence as they pertain to agreement. To be clear, the Citizen and NAME/person are required to adhere to the demands for tribute to be: given, surrendered, or expropriated; to the CROWN. </p><p>The ICCPR (International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights) is a tool that I and many others are using to establish a superior claim.  An Alberta Chief Justice, Judge John D. Rooke, has attempted to break down this shield of truth.  It was primarily his judgements that were in the 2&#8221; stack of paper the Prosecutor handed me as what she was going to use to breakdown my standing.  The thing is, that within the ICCPR, if One accepts Article 16 <em>&#8220;Everyone shall have the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law&#8221;, </em>then your goose is cooked.  It doesn&#8217;t matter what documents you provide and which Constitution or Human Rights Code you submit, or what type of capitals spell out the NAME.  If you submit to that one assumption, &#8220;&#8230;<strong> </strong><em><strong>recognition everywhere as a person before the law</strong>.&#8221;</em>; pack your bags and go wherever THEY tell you to go.  NAME is a sub Corp, of whatever Corporation and jurisdiction that the controversy, the question of standing and superior claim, is appearing in.  So if you do not rebut the assumption of personhood and concretize your superior claim as man, you have already lost before you show up.</p><p>So, don&#8217;t show up.  At least as THEY expect you to.  Choose to not appear as a representative of a person.  Instead, stand with knowledge, that you have a superior claim.  You are a man.  You are not a person.  If One perfects the claim, that in this Court, I am a man, then it is your Court, you have the highest standing as you are an executor of The Father&#8217;s will.  &#8220;While He is away, I will stand as his representative, bonding myself to and with full accountability to; The Father.&#8221;  Should One volunteer for this position, your accounts in that accountability thing is for keeps.  So be prepared.</p><div><hr></div><p></p><h4><code>If One operates putting God and people before, whatever benefit may come from some kind of organization/corporation, is that One acting within God&#8217;s command?</code></h4><p></p><p>This is about &#8220;respect of persons&#8221;.  So put differently, can One acting with respect and preference given to men and women, and to The Father, act as or for a corporation?  Would this be in alignment with His word?  I believe that it is this action that will extinguish and bring about the breakdown of the house of cards that is the CROWN/City of London/BAR and its swindling fraudulent monetary system.  As each such and One comes to the realization of who they are, who possesses the highest claim, and that it is simply for any man or woman to stand and claim authority; this is what coming out of Babylon is!</p><p>Now that One is out of Babylon, what now.  How does One exchange goods, get paid for work, move/travel about unhindered?  Let alone support One&#8217;s community in a common interest; ie: get roads paved, build schools and hospitals etc.  This is where a corporation that is not tethered to the law of admiralty and the Regis that is the CROWN/City of London comes into play.  Once again, James 2 verse 9:</p><ul><li><p>Geneva Bible 1599; <em>But if ye regard the persons, ye commit sin, and are rebuked of the Law, as transgressors.</em>  </p></li><li><p>KJV 1611; <em>But if ye haue respect to persons, ye commit sinne, and are conuinced of the Law, as transgressours.</em></p><ul><li><p>The newer, softer, versions of the Bible, convert this very specific line into not giving preference to anyone over another, due to wealth or fame, but that all men are equal before God, and to give benefit as described, is a sin.  This conflates person and man.  Many people do this, inappropriately.  Even the above linked podcast with John Lennox, where he mistakenly describes Jesus a person.  It is not only some ancient language and interpretations that create the bind of what a &#8220;person&#8221; is and is not.  These older versions of His Word, do not say to treat all men with the same standing and import.  It says, to not have preference and respect for persons.  The KJV is the version that our law was based on, and until recently, was vested in every court room.</p></li></ul></li></ul><p>So don&#8217;t have regard or respect for persons/corporations.  Put God at the top of your hierarchy, followed by yourself/your soul, followed by spouse and children, then your community of men and women, and at some point further down the list, corporations.  I think it necessary to make a distinction about corporations and the difference in how they express with regard to whom the corporation is bound by and to; literally &#8220;<strong>bonded&#8221;.  </strong>More details than One need know, but with the creation of the NAME/CORPORATION/Birth Certificate; THEY, the registrar, generate a bond for the newly berthed corporation which is deposited into the DTCC.  This is to enable the new Corp(se) to do business within the jurisdiction and acts as insurance against loss or damage to cargo at sea.  So no matter what, everybody gets paid.  </p><ul><li><p><em><strong>All trade and commerce, is done by the &#8216;law of the sea&#8217;, Admiralty.  All Corporate Courts, even criminal, are only doing business with the exchange of titles (titles as in papers and registries, not actual goods) and money.  The Judge sits at the bench, which is the representation of and in fact the representative for; THE BANK.  So when I say above &#8220;loss or damage to cargo at sea&#8221;, that means all business and commerce in Admiralty.</strong></em></p></li></ul><p>The number, often in red ink, found on many Birth Certificates relates to an account where this Bond is held.  This account also attaches to all registered numbers associated to NAME, ie: SSN (SIN in Canada), DRIVER&#8217;S License, etc.  Some students of things truthful, feel that they should have access to this account and liquidate the balance converting it into gold, silver, or some tangible asset.  I am ambivalent about this, as it, neither the Corp nor the Bond/account was created by me or my parents.  It also represents the value that the merchants and the name stealers, acting without honour, have amassed in THEIR crooked system.  Perhaps more on this later,</p><p>Can we create corporations to act in common interest for the common good that act under the authority of God?  With the faithful men and women, acting as executors of this will, God&#8217;s, in and for His estate, the world of the living here on earth?  I believe that if, preference is always given to righteousness and the benefit to men and women, a new way can be formed in this dimension of reality.  When Jesus comes back, we will not have to worry about such things.  But until then, I believe that each such an One can force their will upon the CORPORATION, by saying NO(!), by acting in the <strong>performance</strong> of that disagreement thus breaking the seizure and appropriation of One&#8217;s effort and creative force.</p><p>I was listening to <a href="https://www.bitchute.com/video/i942bKUALiwA/">Mel K and Cynthia Chung</a> yesterday talking about the abundance and possibility for humanity on this planet.  Explaining the lie that has been perpetrated about overpopulation and scarcity.  Also talking about the reason that Africa, as a continent, has been exploited and restricted in its economic growth by the financial overlords, CROWN/City of London.  All of these deceptions are offered to us by media and educated officialdom.  If One accepts these &#8220;stories&#8221; as truth, then so it will be.  </p><p>As an inheritor of His Kingdom, a child of The Father, your claim is only up to you.  No one can do it for you.  The splendour that is all things of beauty in this creation belie the fact that &#8216;Not God&#8217; is the master of this realm.  He remains your master, only if: you do not make your claim, that you do not <strong>post</strong> that you are a child of The one true God.  And with this superior claim, you owe nothing to ANY person.  It is one true expression of being <strong>in</strong> this world, <em>as opposed to,</em> <strong>of</strong> this world.   </p><p></p><div><hr></div><p></p><p>One of the things that I concern myself with, and likely the whole reason for writing these posts and &#8220;going public&#8221;, is to consider and attempt to ignite the imaginations of others with regard to &#8220;what next&#8221;?  If the existing, decaying, putrid, inequitable, preferential, and unrighteous system falls; or perhaps worse, at the moment just before complete exposure and collapse, a &#8220;New Deal&#8221; is offered.  Promising fairness and lawfulness and equity among all <em><strong>persons</strong></em>.  That bags of money are given to all the good people in an attempt to even the accounts.  And maybe even a few of the baddest of the bad are hung, or taken behind the chemical shed to cleanse and purge the evil from society.  And what then?  We pick up with  a reformed system, a complete overhaul, a polished up version of slavery with allegiance still sworn to _____ (????), a NEW and IMPROVED, and fully transparent <em><strong>CROWN!!!!????  </strong></em></p><p>Not on this man&#8217;s watch.</p><p></p><p>I submit only to The Father.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

doesn&#8217;t say - </code></h3><h3><code>what One does, and what One doesn&#8217;t do</code></h3><div><hr></div><p>The thing about agreements is, that we are making them all the time whether we know it or not.  The significance of this little act, agreeing, is that when you are being played and don&#8217;t know it, the outcome of your agreement by action or inaction may take you places you had no intention, or awareness, of going.  It is only with due diligence and with clear unbiased analysis that One can figure out how One got to where they now are.  Or, how a civilized society, somewhat at least, has come too: tent cities of homeless in most every major centre, a wave of drug abuse and overdose that seems to be tsunami in magnitude, and the murder of a living concept called the middle class.  If you have come to a place in time, where you are not happy, if you do nothing, you are in complete agreement with all the things that brought you to this unhappy experience.</p><p>In Natural Law, the element of deceit is accepted on its face.  If a leopard lays in wait to ambush the gazelle, hiding in the bushes, we expect it and think nothing other than &#8220;I hope it is a quick death with as little suffering as necessary&#8221;.  And to that, the leopard does its job to take it down and kill it with as much efficiency as possible.  Direct African sun and the speed and agility of a gazelle is not to be under-appreciated.  However, I think that nature&#8217;s efficiency would dictate that there is not an attachment or understanding that it, nature, is inherently good or evil.  Jordan Peterson has oft&#8217; talked about the severe threat that nature brings to everything and everyone, a fact that many are reluctant to face the reality of.  Where Cynthia and I live, and as I write this in early January in northern Alberta, the bitter cold that lies outside my insulated walls and crackling fireside, has no ill will towards me or my livestock.  To my livestock eating just to stay warm, let alone grow new babies inside of them, this cold, is the present enemy.  </p><p>So it is easy for One to see the disparity of condition in nature and, for the most part, continue on with acceptance and understanding that this is just the way that it is, a painful truth.  So is it nature and natural law that rules man?  Is this what has brought about such destruction and pain in this world at this moment?  Is it natural to buy and sell children and use them for some deranged pursuit of pleasure or sacrifice to One&#8217;s god?  This is not nature or natural.  It is not but for the necessity of life of the leopard and her cubs, that the gazelle comes closer to death with each swat of a claw or puncturing tooth.  The utter non-necessity of the deranged and demented abuser committing atrocities against all of mankind is not nature or natural, but it is the opposite of life and living, of what it is to live.  It is evil.  Backwards and the inverse of life, love, and to be a - live.  This evil, bringing about, in the end, nothing other than destruction and death.  </p><p>If One is able to consider, that like in nature, in our existence there is real suffering and pain.  It sits alongside beauty and harmony.  Just like the blood of the gazelle that  spatters the beautiful flowers as the soft wind blows bringing the change in season; the torment of evil, actualized and manifested, is ever-present in our pleasant and charming pursuit of the distraction and comfort we call a life.  I do not judge the leopard.  I do judge the merchants of people, the sellers of innocence, and I choose to accept that they actually exist, and my willingness to experience the agony of that truth; instead of hiding my eyes and consciousness to stanch the wound of this brutal reality.  I also judge those who refuse to accept that evil, that expresses through men and women, and to boot, is ever present and that it is our duty and call from The Creator to stand in its way, to call it out/turn the other cheek (in the true meaning of turning of the cheek) and shine the light of love and truth into the dark recesses that it, evil, lies in wait.</p><div><hr></div><h3>~ on Cheeks and Accountability</h3><p><em>I have reviewed my previous posts several times.  I am certain that I discussed the true meaning of &#8220;turning the other cheek&#8221;.  At the risk of repeating myself, I offer the following:  KJV Mathew 5 verse 38 - 40;</em></p><p><em> </em><strong><sup>38&nbsp;</sup></strong>Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:</p><p><strong><sup>39&nbsp;</sup></strong>But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.</p><p><strong><sup>40&nbsp;</sup></strong>And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.</p><p><em>My interpretation of this passage is not to be commonly found.  When an adversary, comes upon you and finds you in contempt; such that he finds it appropriate to act in such a way as to strike you upon the cheek, a slap in the face; the issue and question is, why?  Why does another find you in contempt, assessing you as the wrongful party, the One who has caused harm?  Now, if it be true, that you have caused harm and are in contempt, then you not only deserve the strike upon your face, but also deserve the second strike, on the other cheek.  Be thou guilty and thou deservest the punishment given.  Now herein lies the question, and I believe the essence of Jesus&#8217; command.  Is this passage simply to reinforce the punishment of the guilty?  I do not believe this to be the &#8220;truth&#8221; in this passage.  I also do not believe that this message from the redeemer is a directive of passivity or meekness to the innocent.  For if thou enemy, without just cause strike you upon the cheek, offer him the other, to concretize <strong>his, </strong>the enemies, position.  If it is the case that the offender, the striker, is in deed the one to be found in contempt and without cause, then allow him to declare in open court, the public square, that he is in breach of truth and justice.  As the receiver of such unjust punishment, we are acting as the conduit of the energetic expression of truth.  The manifestor, the object, that is used to bring consciousness to the unconscious.</em></p><div><hr></div><p>And so, I feel, it is our duty and call, to stand against such wrong and travesty: human trafficking and the selling of innocence to the service of depravity, deviance and corruption.  To allow oneself to be exposed to the hypocrisy of those who wish to &#8220;turn a blind eye&#8221; and  slap your cheek for telling the truth and exposing the painful and uncomfortable truth that there are those little ones, in our immediate community, that are suffering and are being mistreated.  I think at this point, it is not a question of whether or not there are terrible things happening to innocents, but just to whom will accept this truth and pain, and then further, are willing to make sacrifice in an attempt to bring a stop to it.</p><p>This of course is not limited to the travesty of child trafficking and sexual deviance and murder; this is the whole caboodle!  The entirety of wrongdoing and transgressions upon man and God!  We have the ability to make a choice.  That is the nature of this experience.  For man, the nature and natural is; what choice will One make?  Which wolf will you feed?  The good, or evil?</p><div><hr></div><ul><li><p><em>from the Voice of the Editor,</em></p><ul><li><p><em>Cynthia, has brought a simple and clear example of this &#8220;stand &#8230; and calling out&#8221;.

Many Netflix subscribers canceled their subscriptions and payments to Netflix upon this realization.  It is what ended our final tether to the mainstream, Netflix Online, and we too, cancelled our subscription and support for such detritis.

If the dog/puppy bites and One does not resist and rebut; then One is reinforcing the position that the dog is Alpha, and is the boss, and can bite whenever it may feel compelled to do so.  Not a very healthy relationship that any pet owner might have with their little furry friend.  I have detailed this at length in my previous post, &#8220;<a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/i/134325311/setting-the-scene">When the Dog Bites</a>&#8221;.</p><p>We acquiesce all the time.

The &#8220;action of in-action&#8221; the sub heading to this post.  One may think that this is only relevant within One&#8217;s own experience and consciousness.

I look up at the chemtrails nearly every day and I don&#8217;t agree with that action.  I choose to not do anything about it, other than to consciously hold that this is wrong and I do not agree.  In my life, I create things by my own action which are incorrect.  Sometimes I am able to recognize those incorrect elements and do something to correct them.  One incorrect agreement that I have chosen to correct, as much as is within my reach, is the assumption by any that I act as or for NAME, the one that sounds like my name.  God made me a living breathing man with a soul.  The Hennepin County Registrar created something they were hoping I would attach myself to, ARLEN PAUL (insert family NAME here).  And for most of my life, I did just that.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Attachment:</h3><ul><li><p><em>the state of being <strong>person</strong>ally attached</em></p></li><li><p>From Black&#8217;s Law<em> - &#8220;&#8230; used either for the purpose of bringing a person before the court, of acquiring jurisdiction over the property seized &#8230;&#8221;</em></p></li><li><p><strong>psychology</strong><em> <strong>- </strong>a strong emotional bond that an infant forms with a caregiver (such as a mother) especially when viewed as a basis for normal emotional and social development</em></p></li></ul><p>I think the first definition above is the one that makes a difference in most of what I have been presenting.  Interestingly enough, coming from &#8220;Collins Dictionary&#8221;, wherein it further clarifies the standing of what One is attaching Oneself to, the person.  One <em>attaches </em>oneself to NAME by all of the means of lawful formations of contract and agreement: by <strong>speaking</strong>, saying that is my name or that is me; by <strong>signing</strong> as or for on all manner of legal and pedestrian documents; and finally, most importantly, binding, and subtle, by <strong>performance</strong>, by acting as, answering to, or presenting Oneself as.  One does not have to say or sign that they are the Driver, who&#8217;s NAME appears on a license, if One presents said license to the officer upon request, attaching oneself to the whole entirety of Statute Code and liability that comes with that station.</p><h3>Adhere and Adhesion:</h3><ul><li><p><em>to stick or be attached firmly to, cleave to, or joining</em></p></li><li><p><em>If you <strong>adhere</strong> <strong>to</strong> a rule or agreement, you act in the way that it says you should.</em></p></li><li><p><em>If you <strong>adhere</strong> <strong>to</strong> an opinion or belief, you support or hold it.</em></p></li><li><p>Adhesion - <em>A type of contract, a legally binding agreement between two parties to do a certain thing, in which one side has all the bargaining power and uses it to write the contract primarily to his or her advantage.</em></p></li></ul><p>Are some of the dots connecting? </p><p>The Adhesion contract that goes along with all things &#8220;Citizen&#8221;, puts One in the position of agreement to adhere to all Statue Code pertaining to same.  This is where the Courts seem to be fully corrupt and not in adherence to Constitutions, Human Rights Codes, <em>et al.</em>  However, it is often the case that the seeming &#8220;corruption&#8221; is just the obeyance of CORPORATE Statute Code.  Wherein, it holds One in junior Corporate status.  As the sub Corp.  Registered to and linking up the chain to CROWN/City of London, with it, oddly enough, as the Head of all things CORPORATE, Registered ones at least.</p><p>In listening to several podcasts over the last couple of days, I hear many coming to a question of how to escape the obvious corruption and evil, that those at the top, running the show here right now, operate with and under the authority of.  It appears to me, that the system cannot be reformed, renovated, improved, or cleaned up.  If the same Registry regimen exists, One binds Oneself to that Head/CROWN and makes it impossible to NOT have respect or preference for persons/corporations.  This subjugation of self removes the authority, given to you by your God and Creator of true unlimited rights and freedoms, not those specified by constitutions and declarations.</p><p></p><p>Have it good,</p><p></p><p>Arlen Paul</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/p/terms-and-conditions-2?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/terms-and-conditions-2?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/subscribe"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Body CORPORATE]]></title><description><![CDATA[#14 ~ Every such an One can choose, to STOP feeding the monster]]></description><link>https://arlenp.substack.com/p/the-body-corporate</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://arlenp.substack.com/p/the-body-corporate</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Arlen Paul]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Oct 2023 14:15:35 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!tOsg!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff5d157ed-62c7-4a8f-9a2a-4f7ea158edcd_467x900.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><div><hr></div><p><em>~ Preamble</em></p><p><em>This has been the hardest post for me to write and wrap my head around thus far.  The true understanding of what a corporate body is and why it matters is the meat of this article.  The usurpation of any - body, and the attempt, to bring it to a seemingly necessary association to a &#8220;head&#8221;, that is not God, nor good, is something that we must comprehend and re-design.  When, without our conscious intent, a large degree of our creative generation is harnessed, taken from us, and used to feed an invisible insatiable monster, we fail to thrive, prosper, and even survive;  let alone the expropriation of our freedom.  The <strong>Corporate Registration</strong> of everything and the ensnaring monetary apparatus together with governmental control of all, is the foundation of this system of monster feeding.  Where each such an One is brought to their knees, literally to serve an other master.  It is done so deftly and subtly that it seems almost natural.  But it is not nature.  It is the ministrations of a force that, I believe, is the great temptor, the trickster, the master of lies.  Such a force as this, is a requirement to create this free will experiment.  Without this powerful &#8220;other&#8221;, there would be no choices to be made.  If the other did not seem to win most of the time, why would anyone be tempted to choose it?  It comes down to the simple question of, who do I choose?  Cynthia and I discussed yesterday morning how that perhaps, the way to look at it is as a hierarchy.  Where in One&#8217;s psyche and directive, The Father is at the top, Oneself is next, then One&#8217;s spouse, family, community, and so on.  The Corporate world puts &#8220;THE CROWN&#8221; at the top.  The &#8220;CITY OF LONDON&#8221; and all things financial.  This is done through the omni-process of Registration.</em></p><p><em>This Registration is the successful inversion that I have spoken of previously (<a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/upside-down-world?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#4, Upside-Down World</a>), where all that is good and pure is turned upside down, to serve the other, Not God.  Where worship, is at the altar of finance, power, comfort, convenience, consumerism and more recently virtue signalling.  Where there is no truth, no goodness, no righteousness; but in its place sits greed, lust, envy, and most certainly - pride.   </em></p><p></p><div><hr></div><div

the American Medical Association work for?</p></li><li><p>Who does your local Power Company work for?</p></li><li><p>Who does your Bank work for?</p></li><li><p>Who does your School Board work for?</p></li></ul><p>The answer to all of the above is; themselves.  I do not mean each individual who shows up and does their job, to get paid, so that they can have a life of some kind and show up tomorrow to carry on.  I am talking about the entity that is the organization or Corporation.  In the first case, the Nurses, the Union is alleged to represent the Nurses/members of the Union; to protect and expand the interest of and the benefits to, the nurses themselves.  The AMA, it is commonly understood, works to watch over the medical practitioners so that the interests of the public and/or the practitioners is preserved and the safety and well being of everyone ensues.  And so too with each and every Association, Union, PTA, or any other Corporation.  We are encouraged to assume that &#8220;They&#8221; work for &#8220;Us&#8221; (the &#8220;Us&#8221; is somewhat variable depending on the case, not relevant as yet).  This sadly, put on your big girl panties or big boy shorts, is not true.  I don&#8217;t even mean that this notion of &#8220;They are looking out for us&#8221; is not true, but at the fundamental shining in the light of day and truth level, each of these entities first duty is to itself, the Corporation, NOT the people it serves.  This is not right or wrong, it is simply a fact.  If a thing is going to continue through time, ANY thing, it must look out for its own well being, nourishment, growth, replication, etc. in order to sustain.  If a thing does not do, or have done for it, what is required to survive over time, it simply won&#8217;t.  It will die.  Somehow, this gets lost in the shuffle, and some kind of overarching benevolence is supposed to show up any time a few people get together to form a group to achieve some goal or other.</p><p>The entity that is created in such a case becomes a <strong>re </strong>- presentation of those people.  The originators.  It is no longer the people, it is a thing that will have an existence unto itself, as the next operators or generations carry it into the future.  Take for example a group of local knitters (thanks to <a href="https://www.bitchute.com/video/CFOqv2S8pZBh/">MatrixDecoded</a> for this little example).  They get together every Wednesday afternoon and talk about all things knitting, and I&#8217;m sure a little bit of local scuttlebutt. If they wish to form an entity, say a club, so that they can rent a hall to have a sale a couple times a year, and then further, want to open a Bank account, so that they can deposit the proceeds from the sale, so that those proceeds can then be donated to a charity, there comes into existence an entity that <strong>re </strong>- presents the group.  The Club, or Association, whether registered or not, is a corporation, a Dead Fiction.  It exists, it can sue or be sued, but it is not alive.  It requires men and women to volunteer to act as or for it, the Club or Assoc., to enliven it, get things done, and energize it.</p><p>Let&#8217;s get back to the part about who those listed at the top of this article work for.  So as I just described, an organization of people create an entity/corporation registered or not.  This entity, let us call it a creature as it was a creation of the originators, has a voice, the voice of the people running it.  It also has a will.  And this is where it gets a little fuzzy.  How can a dead thing have a will.  It might seem, and perhaps for a time be, that the will of the creature is a co-operative force that the people who formed the creature have imbued into it.  This may be where the notion that the thing, the club/association/corporation expresses with some kind of benevolence, the collective will of the well intentioned organizers of the group.  After all, the creature exists as some people were able to put down their ego and self pride enough to co-operate and give time and energy to birth this new entity/creature.  </p><div class="preformatted-block" data-component-name="PreformattedTextBlockToDOM"><label class="hide-text" contenteditable="false">Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published</label><pre class="text">            <em>Thus far, I have focussed on outlining some concepts as to why an
             organization is formed.  The friendly knitters group, unions, school 
             boards, etc. are all supposed to do something that "makes the world
             a better place".  Of course the reason most Corporations are formed 
             is to pursue some kind of business enterprise and achieve monetary
             gain.  In this instance it may be easier to imagine that the "creature", 
             the Corporation, is for profit and gain and will be capable of less than
             altruistic action.                 </em></pre></div><p>This could go very deep down a philosophical and metaphysical rabbit hole, so let us agree upon, for simplicity and the sake of discussion, the following:</p><ol><li><p>there exists in this reality unseen forces of good and evil</p></li><li><p>that these forces can manifest energetic expressions - unseen - or, through   actors, ie: people, nature, or even consciousness (this would manifest as thoughts within One&#8217;s head) </p><ul><li><p>within this presupposition, I am presenting two initiators of action, there may be more, here is what I mean:</p><ul><li><p>an act of God, or Not God, that has an affect on Oneself but that is not measurable, that is to say, One would be unaware of why something has come to pass, ie: One wins the lottery, One loses their job for no known reason, or your favourite aunt gets cancer and dies  </p></li><li><p>alternatively, a tree can fall on the road in front of you, that changes your path, and you know your path changed because of the tree, One can &#8220;see, hear, experience, etc.&#8221; the energetic expression of an &#8220;act of God&#8221; and perhaps recognize it as such: a great example of this is the story of the man who finds a stray stallion, his son trains the stallion to ride, the son falls off the stallion and breaks his leg, the army comes through town conscripting all young men, the man&#8217;s son is passed over as his leg is broken - his son was not conscripted because of a roaming stallion</p></li></ul></li></ul></li><li><p>that each such an One has agency, and can choose to follow the &#8220;directive(s)&#8221; of these unseen forces, good or evil, internally (thoughts or voices) and externally (other people or nature - manifesting in what we call reality)</p><ul><li><p>unseen forces that manifest in people or nature would be when a (wo)man acts on the thought or voice within themself, thus enlivening/activating that force; in the case of nature, it could be a hurricane, an animals action, a flooding river, something that is observable and has an impact upon Oneself and that could be moved by an unseen hand; does that make sense? please comment</p><p></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/p/the-body-corporate/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/the-body-corporate/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p></li></ul></li><li><p>that we do not fully understand the intricacies of the nature of reality or consciousness and that these unseen forces dwell and act within that unknown, as does the power of prayer and intention (think of the group praying to divert a hurricane, successfully by the way)</p></li></ol><div><hr></div><div><hr></div><p>In my last post, I spoke of the harmonic overtones that appear as two energies express in harmony.  That is a real and measurable event.  What I am suggesting here, about corporations, is not so measurable, yet its expression is all around us.  I have only hinted thus far in this post, that with the birthing of a corporation, a dead entity, that an energetic expression attaches to that entity.  Is it possible for that attachment to be a positive force, attached to the dead entity?  Let&#8217;s try not to be mired in the metaphysics at this point.  Suffice it to say, that God, KJV James 2 verse 9, is not a &#8220;respecter&#8221; of persons.  This is not the only reference to this point.  He is also not a respecter of the walking dead, the One&#8217;s who have turned their back on him and choose &#8220;Not God&#8221;!  And when Jesus said, &#8220;Render unto Caesar, that which is Caesar&#8217;s&#8221;, he is defining the interests of the parties.  The &#8220;tribute money&#8221; is in the realm of Caesar, a <strong>re - </strong>presentative of a corporation (a government, kingship, what have you), and to it, interest and claim - the money and tribute - are rendered back to Caesar, not to God.  It is the living man, the One that has chosen The Father, that God has an interest in and claim to.</p><div><hr></div><h4>Does God expect us to exist, living in this reality and not interact with ANY corporation?  </h4><div><hr></div><p>At this point in my study, it seems, that the purpose of all this &#8220;person&#8221; stuff in the KJV, is to illuminate.  To illustrate.  To draw attention to the rules of this dominion, reality, and experience.  I talked previously about the &#8220;rules of Court&#8221; in<a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/upside-down-world?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web"> #4, Upside - Down WORLD</a>.  Where whilst in Court, One is playing on a court, a game field.  Where when playing in that game, the specific rules, written by the &#8220;Game-Maker&#8221; are to be followed.  So too, this dominion is ruled by Not God, so we are given the handbook, the rule book for this experience on this game board (reality as we know it). That book is of course the Bible.  Within it, all the rules and guidelines, penalties and rewards, are collected so that we may know what to do and how to best &#8220;play&#8221; this game we call life.</p><p>It is with the interaction with the dead, that a &#8220;corporation&#8221; must be created.  Let&#8217;s look at the knitter&#8217;s situation.  When they all come together and knit, gab, drink some tea or coffee, there is no direct interaction with any corp(se).  They are gathering as men and women, sharing and pursuing a creative living interest.  Renting a space to display and sell their wares, crosses the threshold into the dead, the realm of Caesar.  Many things come up with the rental issue: risk to the public; injury or otherwise, insurance to cover public liability or damage, the exchange of money and goods, is it a taxable event(?), etc. etc.  Is one of the knitters, willing to carry the burden of all of these points and liabilities individually and PERSON-ally?  No?  Let&#8217;s make an agreement amongst the members of the group to act as one, &#8220;Knitters for Life&#8221;.  They form some sort of club or association, or maybe even a not-for-profit, what have you.  Now KFL (Knitters for Life) can take on liabilities and operate in the land of the dead, the Corporate world.  To then present as the new &#8220;person&#8221;, KFL; that can sue and be sued, have a bank account, do business, etc.</p><p>So where does Not God fit into this little scheme?  KFL does not have a soul.  It was not created by The Father!  Unlike the living spirit that dwells within you, KFL cannot and will not reside in God&#8217;s Kingdom . . . EVER!  The such an One, that is the creation of, made in the image of, and is a chip off the old block, of The Father, that soul which exists in you and I, will exist forever.  In which way that existence manifests, is up to each such an One.  KFL exists here, limited to this reality, for the period of time that it is enlivened by men and women.  Not God, as a creation of The Father, will also live forever.  As he has already made his cake and baked it, He will continue in attempting to cause each of us to lose traction on our passage out of this realm and on to the Kingdom of the Father.</p><p></p><div><hr></div><div><hr></div><ul><li><p><code>corporate(ion): creation and assumption of a body, furnish with a body</code></p><ul><li><p><code>corp: corp(se), body, dead, person</code></p></li><li><p><code>orate: to pray, to plead, speak</code></p></li><li><p><code>tion: word-forming element attached to verbs, making nouns of state, condition, or action</code></p></li></ul></li></ul><div><hr></div><div><hr></div><p>The word corporation stands astride &#8220;orate&#8221;.  This action, of speaking, seems to come up quite often in the meaningfulness and application of legal principles.  As we have covered in the word &#8220;person&#8221;, sona and sonum are describing the sonorous sound that defines and creates, the - per -  &#8220;by and through, wholly and completely&#8221;; per - son.  The speaking of words, is the persona on stage in the drama, that is the essence of the word person, the sounds/words spoken.  Now we &#8220;orate&#8221; a corpse.  We speak as and for an assumed, albeit dead, body, the one that is the corporate entity, such as KFL.  One cannot be KFL.  One can act as and for KFL, re-presenting it.</p><div><hr></div><div><hr></div><p>I believe it is this distinction which The Father is trying to hammer home in his guide book for living.  Living is the opposite of dying.  Life the opposite of death.  Those who choose God, are the opposite of those who choose Not God.  He is teaching us to have respect for Him and the living.  Jesus and the disciples interacted with the dead continuously, it was the act of preaching and teaching, to bring the light of truth and life into the hearts and minds of the dead that they might choose to be re-born in Christ.  To become alive in The Father&#8217;s love!  So it is not a warning to abandon the dead, but to clearly comprehend and understand the difference.  The corporation cannot be converted and brought into the land of living, but the &#8220;dead man walking&#8221; has that potential, to come to The Father, always.  The specific point in the use of the word respect; is to warn against giving preference or high regard to a person, an artifice, but to see what it is One is looking at or dealing with.  In the case of &#8220;dead man walking&#8221;, within that such an One is a soul, which means there is a potential life lying dormant within that man or woman.  Such is not the case with the corporation, it is merely a body/person/creature without a soul, or even that potential for life.  Hence, we are to show no respect to persons.</p><p>Today the word person has been inculcated into every modality of communication.  It is used in place of any number of other words that might better or more specifically define a man or woman.  It is reductionist to conglomerate all the different types of names and things people can be described as into this one little inappropriate word.  It actually becomes worse than that.  The normalizing of a lie by telling it over and over to the point that people forget the truth and accept the lie as truth, is the <em>raison d'&#234;tre</em> of the media and even Universities if not the whole of &#8220;education&#8221;.  A man, woman, or people; can - NOT be a <em><strong>PERSON!!  </strong></em>A man, woman, or people; can - NOT be a <em><strong>CORPORATION!!  </strong></em>One can act as or for; as well as be surety for: a Corporation or a person/PERSON/NAME/legal person etc.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Accounting</h3><p>In the land of the living, men and women, One sins.  The sinner, appears before The Father in prayer, repents and begs for forgiveness.  The repenter is for-given.  He is <em>given</em> something <em>for</em> his specific repentance.  One is not given something for which One has not asked for, not begged forgiveness for, or not repented for.  What the repenter is given is redemption.  The debt which the sinner created by his action of sin, has been repurchased from the creditor so that the sinner may be freed from the obligation to re-pay the debt.  The ledger has an entry on both sides of the account so it is balanced or zeroed.  This is a gift.  A gift given in love.  It is no accident that the word life, live, and living are an ever so slight refit of the root word, love.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Things to do with the letter &#8220;I&#8221;</h3><ul><li><p>A sprinkling of my word theory on &#8220;able&#8221; vs. &#8220;ible&#8221; and things &#8220;I&#8221;ish</p><ul><li><p>the grammar websites all seem to point to &#8220;able&#8221; being a &#8220;living&#8221; suffix, and that &#8220;ible&#8221; is only used in old words</p></li><li><p>my take is all about the &#8220;I&#8221; (although a deep dive has not been performed to confirm or deny this principle), the i is used when the thing itself is &#8220;<em>capable or suitable for&#8221;, </em>or more specifically represents that the thing itself is able and does not require input from another - &#8220;I&#8221; am able </p></li><li><p>take the word convertible, in the case of a car, a convertible car transforms itself, it does not require an outside other to become able to be &#8220;converted&#8221;, <em>&#8220;the convert-ible is cap-able of converting itself&#8221;</em> make sense?

There is NO MIDDLE GROUND!!!  There is only one choice to be made, have you chosen The Father, or not???  Nathan eloquently elucidates that perhaps the greatest deception of our time, is this default position.  I don&#8217;t think he uses that word specifically, but what he is talking about is the belief in the possibility that One can stand between The Father and The Deceiver.  To not pursue either truth or lies but to stand, un-affiliated!  The Concordat that I speak of, is that deal that was struck, that The Father laid down for the &#8220;rules of the game&#8221; in this reality, this world, between Himself and the creditor, Satan.  As I submitted in <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/can-a-lie-be-un-lied?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#12 Can a Lie be Un-lied</a>, a sin creates a debt.  A debt is represented as a note that is held by a creditor.  The creditor holds the note, until the debt has been paid.  Redemption is the re - purchasing of the debt, the note.  Upon redemption, the debtor/sinner is released and is freed from his obligation.  The creditor is Satan, the Father of lies, in this existence at least.  The Redeemer, is of course, Christ with his sacrifice, made for us to settle the account so that we may be released from the hold, that we create in sin, held by, the Creditor/Satan.  </p><p>If One has not chosen The Father and to accept Christ&#8217;s sacrifice and payment as One&#8217;s redeemer, then One is held by the Creditor, ever so softly and tenderly.    It is a state of denial and unknowing, that One is in, if they believe they can stand in that middle ground, between God and Satan.  The chains will be upon you, without you even noticing.  That is the default position, which so many today think they can complacently reside within.  How many <a href="https://www.etymonline.com/word/nice">&#8220;</a><em><strong><a href="https://www.etymonline.com/word/nice">nice&#8221;</a> </strong></em>people do you know.  One&#8217;s that would likely state that they are <em><strong>&#8220;good&#8221;</strong></em>!  They may even attend a church service every now and then or volunteer at some local charity.  This middle ground, default position, is not what The Father asks of us and it certainly is not adequate as faithful repentance.</p><div><hr></div><h3>The Devil&#8217;s Concordat</h3><ul><li><p><em>This thing that I call &#8220;The Devil&#8217;s Concordat&#8221;, to my knowledge exists only within my imagination.  It may, or something similar, exist somewhere, maybe the basement of the Vatican?  What I imagine it to be, is the rule book, that God wrote for Satan and his fallen angels.  I believe it to be the guidelines and restrictions of this &#8220;free will&#8221; experiment.  A necessary evil, that being the Great Deceiver, is <strong>the</strong> foundational element in the possibility of experiencing this great gift of the freedom to choose.  </em></p><ul><li><p> KJV Jude verse 4<em>: </em><strong><sup>&nbsp;</sup></strong><em>For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.</em></p></li></ul></li></ul><div><hr></div><p></p><h3>Who are the &#8216;Orators?</h3><p>There is a lot of talk about how to change the Government.  How to get Them to do what we the people wish for Them to do.  To re-assert that They are our servants, and that They must follow us, instead of Them, together with the Courts, claiming authority over us.  This is more than a wrinkle that requires some steam and a bit of pressing to make smooth and once more acceptable.  This, my dear reader, is an impossibility at present.  Not due to attitudes or conventions or even complacency of the ruled and Governed!  We are in exactly the place, that of the servile Citizen and Legal Person, that we deserve and in fact have created.  How can I make such an absurd and unfair declaration?  It is the choices we have made, we the people, the men and women of our Countries, Schoolboards, County Councils, City Councils, Church Councils, Unions, etc. etc. etc.  All of these &#8220;Authorities&#8221; do have Authority over us.  I have previously expounded on &#8220;Agreement by Performance&#8221;.  I stand by the above harsh truths by returning to the Performance of each such an One.  And I am not talking about how, that to throw off the chains of our oppressors we must rise up and fight and yell and overcome our Rulers with some kind of violent offensive.  Not!    At!    All!  . . .  I am stating that our performance, in agreement, to the terms of Citizen and Corporate Person, hold us below, under the Authority, of our chosen masters.</p><p>I have also previously delineated the difference between Citizen, Person, Name, etc. and man, woman, or people (<a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/the-art-of-be-ing?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#2 The Art of Being</a>, <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/persona-non-grata?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#3 Persona non Grata</a>).  None of the &#8220;Authorities&#8221; noted in the above paragraph have Authority over the latter.  But, when One acts &#8220;as or for&#8221;, by ongoing performance, then it can ONLY be accepted as full agreement and complete subjugation of the self to the Corp(se) NAME, performing as or for the CORPORATION!  So who is the Government/Corporation in service to?  Who is orating for it?  Its head!  The One&#8217;s who are orating for, bringing to life, the dead body corp(se)!  That voice and life, is not that of the Citizens or the sub-corps that are all registered and sub-registered to it, as I have previously discussed (<a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/all-your-money?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#6 All Your Money?</a>), but that of the head.</p><p>I have heard it said in Corporate and business strategy analysis, that the way a business operates and presents &#8220;comes from the top&#8221;.  As in, whomever is making the decisions at the top and how they go about their interactions, their &#8220;personality&#8221; so to speak, is reflected all the way down the Corporate chain.  Such that Corporations seem to have a personality and flavour.  Whether this is true or not, I have witnessed in a close relatives rather large business, how the big cheese, the owner, is reflected in every aspect of the company, for better and worse.</p><p>If a corp-oration is brought to life by the voices of the men and women that are enlivening it, then how do we, the people, overcome the relationship that has been patiently perfected by the One&#8217;s who assume that Authority at present.  </p><ul><li><p><em><strong>KJV Hosea</strong></em> <strong>4 : 6) <sup>&nbsp;</sup></strong><em>My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.</em></p></li></ul><p>The Authorities standing will remain, until each such an One gains the knowledge to know better.  To know when and how, One is acting by performance in agreement.  It is the sleight of hand that I have been going on about thus far in previous posts.  It is the puppy nipping at your fingers or pant leg, <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/when-the-dog-bites?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#11 When the Dog Bites</a>, awaiting your response as to how to proceed and to determine who is in charge, the leader, the master.</p><p>It seems to me, that corporations, are an inevitable consequence in this reality.  Groups of people will come together and for efficiency and just cause, create a body to represent the people and their voices.  God makes it clear, that we are not to respect such things, persons.  However, I have children, I have cows, I have dogs, sheep, chickens, and so on.  I have respect for all of them.  The respect that I show to my friends, my children, or my wife, is not the same respect I show to my chickens.  That is not to say that I don&#8217;t love my chickens.  Ask Cynthia about that one.  But I do not respect any animal or non-people as much as I respect any people.  So I do not show respect to persons, over people.  My God and Saviour is first, my family second, followed by all men/women/people, living creatures and so on.  Putting this thing called &#8220;persons/NAME/Corporation(s)&#8221; somewhere much further down the list.</p><div><hr></div><h3> Filling the Void!</h3><p></p><p>If a person is a corporation, and God has no respect for persons.  Then God has no respect for corporations, soul-less entities.  He is only concerned with men and women.  Going back to my pre-suppositions listed near the beginning, there are unseen hands and forces at work in this plane of reality in addition to those that are in plain sight.  Is it becoming clear to you who does have respect for Corporations and persons?  If the ruler of this realm is the Deceiver and Father of Lies, and he has dominion over all that he can lay claim to, then where does that leave the un-affiliated and the dead entity, the corporation.  The un-affiliated, as they have not chosen The Truth, The Light, and The Way - God; are rightfully and completely claimed by Satan.  </p><ul><li><p><em>&#8220;There is no neutral ground in the universe; every square inch, every split second, is claimed by God and counter-claimed by Satan.&#8221;</em></p><p>&#8213; <strong><a href="https://bibleportal.com/bible-quotes/author/c.s.-lewis">C.S. Lewis</a></strong>&nbsp;</p></li></ul><p>Any and ALL dead entities, without a soul, are also claimed by him, unless(!), the orator, enlivening that entity, for the purpose of service to The Father and his fellow man, perfects his superior claim by the power of God.</p><p></p><p>Now I stepped in it.  I cannot fully explain how to do that at this point, and I believe it will be a whole other post.  Let me leave you with a few thoughts to ponder:</p><ul><li><p>any &#8220;Registered Corporation&#8221; is given authority by its superior, the Corporate Body under which it regis - ter(ed), think Crown/City of London</p><ul><li><p>regis = King/Crown</p></li><li><p>ter : as in inter (bury, put under, consign to the grave) or enter, go within</p><p></p></li></ul></li><li><p>can One operate a corporation without it being REGISTERED in a Corporate Registry?  </p></li><li><p>can One show respect to God and people and operate a corporation?</p></li><li><p>if One operates putting God and people before, whatever benefit may come from some kind of organization/corporation, is that One acting within God&#8217;s command?

traction</h3><p>One of the things very specific to the word &#8220;traction&#8221; is the suggestion, or even demand, for movement.  It is about getting where One wants to go.  If One is exerting energy but yet not moving in the direction that focus and intent is set upon, then One has failed to gain &#8220;<em>traction</em>&#8221;.  If I were the &#8220;Evil One&#8221;, &#8220;not God&#8221;, I would do everything in my power to cause any and all to lose traction.  This is the great &#8220;dis&#8221; that he has wielded upon us.  To get us to do anything, but that, which will bring One closer to truth and life.  And so he does.  He distracts us into dis - traction.  On the farm here, we are very aware of the difference and separation between traction and not - traction.  When pulling an implement through a low spot, and it is uncertain as to whether One will make it through, or get stuck (loss of traction), One is very aware of the difference between success, and an afternoon spent getting un - stuck.</p><p>Dis - traction is the ultimate purpose of &#8220;not God&#8221;.  If the true outcome of what He had to offer One for a life of service to him were revealed, the whole scheme would come crashing down.  And so it is left to: trickery, deceit, sleight of hand, lies, and false promises of grandeur.  By which He &#8220;takes you away&#8221; from acting in and for your true purpose of &#8220;<em>magnificating</em>&#8221; One&#8217;s reality through supplication to The Father!</p><ul><li><p>magnificating: verb; <em>the action executed by such an One, to elevate some thing, or some One, to the status of magnificence. &#8220;</em>ArlenP Terms and Conditions 2023vol.1A ;-)&#8221; (<em>if THEY can change word definitions, I can make em up</em>)</p></li></ul><p>This is where it gets a little complicated.  How is it exactly, that by submitting One&#8217;s self, One&#8217;s will, over to the will of God, does One get to experience <em>magnificence?  </em>It sounds more like another form of slavery and drudgery.  I&#8217;ll let C.S. Lewis help us out here.  From &#8220;The Screwtape Letters&#8221;, this is one of my favourites:</p><ul><li><p><em>When He talks of their losing their selves, He means only abandoning the clamour of self-will; once they have done that, He really gives them back all their personality, and boasts (I am afraid, sincerely) that when they are wholly His they will be more themselves than ever.</em></p></li></ul><p>It is important to clarify the view from which this statement has been made.  It is made by Uncle Screwtape, a chief demon, who is writing to his nephew Wormwood, in an effort to educate him on how to deceive and distract the soul to which they have been appointed.  Screwtape and Wormwood are demons, in the demonic realm where they see God as &#8220;The Enemy&#8221;.  In the above quote, in the first sentence, &#8220;He&#8221;, is God The Father.</p><p>What I hear in this little section is that the true self, the expression of the divine that is a potential in each such an One, can only be revealed and enlivened in One who has overcome, sacrificed if you will, the ego/self will.  This makes room for the The Father to express the divine in oneself, and that, is One&#8217;s true self.  There is a type of &#8220;horse hitch&#8221;, that is called a tandem.  In the picture below, you can see that rather than being hitched side by side in the form of a team, in this hitch there is one in front, and one behind.  There is the lead horse and a wheel horse.  The wheel horse follows the lead horse and his primary job is to drive, not steer.  Driving in this sense is using traction to put his power to the ground.  So when I give up the will of me steering and controlling the direction, that determines where I get to in my life, over to the lead horse, God, then we are truly pulling together.  I know this analogy falls down a bit as there is always a driver with the reins, so who is controlling the show could be argued.  The following of the lead, while still supplying One&#8217;s power and force, is the point I believe this illustrates quite well.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/traction-and-distraction?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">13.1</a> and <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/traction-and-distraction-2?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">13.2</a></h3><p>Let&#8217;s look at what has been accomplished thus far in my little expose&#8217; of the happenings with myself, NAME, Robynne (the woman acting as Prosecutor), a Judge, a couple of charges, and a requirement for &#8220;YOU&#8221; to attend Court in August 2022.</p><ol><li><p>An event occurred wherein some pieces of paper were presented to me after I had a discussion around the points of jurisdiction with a couple of Officers, I had been kidnapped, then freed, Cynthia did some dancing with an Officer, and our truck was stolen.</p></li><li><p>We attended a plea hearing, with facts entered into court (<a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/traction-and-distraction?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">Asseveration of Arlen Paul, 13.1</a>), where I plead &#8220;Guilty to the facts&#8221; and the Judge entered a plea of &#8220;Not Guilty&#8221;, scheduled a trial, and lassoed me with quick title (not hogtied just yet).</p></li><li><p>Upon casting a broader net, to create agreements with any/all parties that might want to agree with me on standing, capacity, and status; emails were made and sent in the following manner:</p><ol><li><p>An offer of &#8220;Agreement between Robynne and Arlen-Paul: as to Status&#8221; was sent to Robynne, this agreement is shown in <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/traction-and-distraction-2?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#13.2 &#8220;What did you call me?</a></p><ol><li><p>the same offer was made to the &#8220;Head Prosecutor&#8221; for the region, the woman Patricia and the Assistant to the Head, the man Barry</p></li></ol></li><li><p>With no rebuttal and no response, agreement was accepted by myself and noticed to the parties by &#8220;Notice of Agreement&#8221;, shown in <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/traction-and-distraction-2?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#13.2 &#8220;What did you call me?</a></p></li><li><p>My witnesses to the &#8220;Agreement between Robynne and Arlen-Paul: as to Status&#8221;, then sent a &#8220;Notice of witness&#8221;, from the witness to Robynne.</p></li><li><p>Followed by a &#8220;Witness Statement of Facts&#8221; sent from the witnesses to Robynne as a second Notice.</p><ol><li><p>It is important to note the following about all these &#8220;Notices&#8221; and Parties:</p><ol><li><p>Think of each agreement as a vehicle going to a destination.  Riding in the vehicle there are several people; men and women.  There is a discussion going on which is the original agreement, &#8220;Agreement between Robynne and Arlen-Paul: as to Status&#8221;.  Arlen and Robynne are having the initial discussion about all the points contained within that agreement.  They agree to all the points/no rebuttal.  Arlen says, so to be clear; we have formed an agreement (the second notice).  There is no rebuttal or challenge, the two parties have formed an agreement.  Sitting in the back seat of the car or spaceship or whatever, are another two men or women that will act as witnesses to that specific conversation/agreement.  At this point, everyone gets out of the spaceship/car/vehicle and bids adieu.  </p></li><li><p>The first witness then gets into another vehicle with Robynne, then offers their statement, &#8220;Notice of Witness to Agreement between Robynne and Arlen-Paul: as to Status&#8221;.  When Robynne does not refuse/rebut/challenge the offer of witness, the witness then follows up with a second notice in the form of &#8220;Witness Statement of Facts&#8221;.  This document, when unrebutted or challenged forms the separate and different agreement between Robynne and the witness.  Then everyone departs the spaceship/vehicle and carries on with life as we know it.  This same little ride, discussion, and agreement scenario would be repeated for each witness and Robynne.</p></li><li><p>What is forged here, is not only the original agreement between Arlen and Robynne, but a second and third/fourth/etc. agreement between Robynne and each witness.  Each party: Arlen, witness 1, witness 2, and perhaps even witness 3 have separate individual agreements with Robynne.  And to be clear once again, this whole space travel vehicle analogy is repeated with each man or woman, in this case, Patricia, Barry and each of the witnesses to those agreements.  In this analogy, each vehicle and trip with the specific participants, encapsulates each agreement.</p><ol><li><p>I chose to &#8220;cast a broader net&#8221; in my situation, as there was proof that the Prosecutor&#8217;s Office was prepared to play some games with me.  I felt it appropriate to engage with higher levels of this Office, such that shenanigans could not be played.</p></li></ol></li></ol></li></ol></li></ol></li></ol><div><hr></div><h3>Meaningfulness of the &#8220;Private Agreement&#8221;</h3><p>When we arrived at Court that morning in early August of last year we had no idea of what to expect.  I had filed all my documents into the Court, although they had not been &#8220;officially&#8221; received and stamped by the Clerk and separately had arrived at an agreement with the woman , Robynne, acting as Crown Prosecutor.  All of the documentation that formed the agreements with Robynne, were not filed into court, as they were agreements in the private between men and women, but were made available to the public as they were published on my website.    </p><p>Let me describe what I see as some <em>energies </em>that are moving in all of this.  By citing Christs directive, of resolving your conflicts before needing a magistrate, I brought another party into the agreement.  Now perhaps Robynne was neither a Christian or a believer at all, but by noting that I was acting on the commission of the Chief of my faith, brings weight and force to what I had offered within the agreement.  Even if that weight and force was only to fortify my convictions. Further, if One reads the agreement and all of the details, One will see that it is more of a report of data, not opinion.  I am not saying in that document, that: really, I&#8217;m a nice guy and she should just let me break her law(s) (statue codes actually) because it would just be easier for everybody.  It is an assemblage of points of order that are contained in &#8220;her law&#8221;, the statute codes, International Treaties, Criminal Code, rules of Court, etc. and &#8220;my Law&#8221;, my Bible and the words of Christ and The Father.  And the best part is, these two forms of &#8220;law&#8221; are actually in agreement.  That such an One is only subjugable by their own determination.  That One cannot be forced to be a slave.  That One can choose to accept the &#8220;Right&#8221; of recognition as a person before the law &#8212; or not!  This is VERY powerful stuff. </p><div><hr></div><ul><li><p><code>Each such an One has the opportunity, by choice, to awaken from our distraction and folly, the chasing of every little shiny trinket or quest for power or fame, and to see the light of truth, to know who One actually is, and maybe even come to a clearer comprehension of what One is here for.</code></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><p>Now if Robynne had breached her agreement with me and the witnesses, she would have a problem.  She would have acted against my faith and my God.  As I said, maybe she has a different God, perhaps it is knowingly or otherwise, &#8220;Not God&#8221;.  But as she had not made any disagreement or action against our private agreement, we had an accord.  That conglomeration; meeting of minds, begins to have a force of its own.  I created it, she approved of it, our energies were in harmony.  The thing about harmony, two or more notes concurrently sounded to a pleasing affect, inviably creates something new which is not present in either singular voice or expression.  Overtones become present when the two sounds begin to blend, new pitches or vibrations are created by the interfacing energy.  It truly is a case where 1 + 1 = more that 2!</p><ul><li><p>Mathew 18 verse 20, KJV: <em>For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.</em></p></li></ul><p>I had never considered that it could be The Father, and/or his Son, that begins singing those overtones when we act in harmony.</p><p>Robynne would also, literally have put herself in jeopardy if she chose to breach her agreement.  When she agreed to &#8220;put up (her) your public indemnification bond as surety&#8221; she exposed herself to risk, which is exactly why this bond exists, and specified that she had full knowledge of this risk and was willing and able.  This meant that the pathway to enforce penalty for her breach was clear and specified.  Again, yet more more energy.</p><p>So it is due to traction that movement is created.  Hopefully the movement is in the direction and for the purpose of One&#8217;s intent, even though sometimes, One gets to a much better place, by happenstance or a slight adjustment by an unseen hand.</p><div><hr></div><div><hr></div><h3>Back to our previously scheduled program</h3><p>One of the documents that I had submitted that I did not cover in the last post was a new idea to me.  It has to do with volunteering and unvolunteering.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

into Court for the plea hearing along with the Asseveration.  We&#8217;ll cover more on this later.</p><p>Arriving at Court on the 8th of August, last year, 2022, I happily found that Robynne was in fact acting as Crown Prosecutor that day.  I confirmed with her that she had received all of my emails regarding our agreement, to which she replied yes and mumbled something about it having no bearing.  She then produced the Disclosure package which her office had refused to send me, as well as stack of paper, two inches thick, with little yellow sticky tabs pointing out in all directions from many sections of the stack.  She claimed that this, the stack of papers representing previous judgements and decisions regarding the &#8220;type of information&#8221; that I was using, was what she intended to use against me.  She was suggesting that all of my communications were to no avail, or at least something like that.  As per usual, they make &#8220;people like us&#8221; wait until the end of the day, so we: Cynthia, myself, and two witnesses got as comfortable as we could on the benches in the lobby of the courthouse.  Some very significant and unexpected things then unfolded before our eyes.</p><p>I had a look, for the first time, at the police report that the Officer had filed, as well as a few other sundry details about that afternoon in April.  A quick review of the stack as well, yielded nothing more than I expected, gibberish, a lot of it, about how the Court does not have to obey the treaties and codes etc.  Unfazed, I carried on in &#8220;funnel on the top of my head mode&#8221;.  That is what I use when I am asking the Holy Ghost to provide me with answers and knowledge in sticky situations.  I figure since I have a puny little brain, the funnel will make it easier to get it to trickle into my consciousness.  I shared with Cynthia how the Officer had described in his report, that he had found the Passport that I hold, &#8220;laying openly in plain sight&#8221;.  It had been in fact, inside my wallet, which was safely inside the closed glove box.  Cynthia just grinned and said &#8220;wow&#8221;.  We had arranged with the Bailiff to make sure to let us know when we were getting close to our turn.</p><p>After waiting for a few hours, our ears were pricked; or maybe something trickled down that funnel?  A woman, who appeared to be some kind of assistant to the clerk or prosecutor or something, came out of the Courtroom talking on her cell phone.  She was talking to what sounded like the RCMP detachment, claiming to be looking for Officer Keegan, the one who filed the report and who was their witness in these events.  She said she was having trouble getting in touch with him, when the door to the Courthouse opened and in walked Keegan and his partner.  Up the stairs they came and proceeded directly into the Courtroom with the court assistant.  Several minutes passed, when the Courtroom doors reopened and out walked Keegan, partner in tow, and down the steps they went heading toward the door.  Cynthia loudly proclaimed &#8212; &#8220;KEEGAN!  you LIED!&#8221; &#8212; both Officers froze as if caught by their mother with hands in the cookie jar.  He looked down, paused, and continued out the front door of the Courthouse.</p><p>Shortly thereafter, they called us in as we were next.  The Judge, a woman this time, sat concentratedly smiling, the prosecutor stood somewhat nervously.  They called the issue, to which I arose and said &#8220;I am here for this&#8221;.  The Judge immediately said, can you guess it, &#8220;Mister X (insert family name here)&#8221;!  I frustratedly responded.  &#8220;I have already been through this with the Prosecutor and her Office, I am not a Mister, I do not claim such title, or any other title, and I do not identify as - a Mister!&#8221;  She VERY quickly accepted my offer and asked, what would I like her to call me?  I briefly paused, funnel flowing, &#8220;my Mother, gave me the name, Arlen Paul&#8221;.  Again quickly she replied, smile painted on, &#8220;we&#8217;ll go with that then&#8221; and her gaze shifted to the prosecutor.  Robynne quickly said, &#8220;The Crown wishes to withdraw charges as it feels a guilty verdict will likely not be possible.  This is due to the WITNESSING OFFICER NOT BEING AVAILABLE TO COME TO COURT&#8221;!!!!!!!</p><p>The Judge transferred her gaze to me once again, with smile still painted, and fawningly said &#8220;are you happy that now you get to go home and enjoy the rest of your day?&#8221;  To which I replied, &#8220;I am NOT HAPPY!, about how any of this went&#8221; and walked out.</p><p>No charges, no fines, no anything, other than the wonderful opportunity for me to learn and practice.  I shared previously, how when I was in that cell for one hour, and that my release, I felt anyways, came down to - me not contracting with the Officer that I was either a US Citizen or a Canadian Citizen, but declaring that I was a citizen of God&#8217;s Creation.  Likewise, when smily Judge began proceedings with the &#8220;Mister X (insert family name here)&#8221;, if I had agreed to her offer, that I was willing to act as or for this Mister she spoke of; that meant a person/NAME/Corporation which is bound by all the codes etc. by way of voluntary submission would be the party standing in her Courtroom.  And following this, the agreement that I had with Robynne could/would be waived as my status as a man had been waived, by my performance as a Mister, which would trump all written agreements, witnessed, emailed or otherwise.  It really does come down to performance.</p><p></p><p>Have it good,</p><p></p><p>Arlen</p><p>P.S.  I almost forgot to mention the type of tires I used to get me through this &#8220;low spot&#8221;.  When it was time to: put rubber to road, power to ground, convert the torque and horsepower of my motor into propulsion, it was my faith that created the traction.  Standing in the light of God and truth.  Present throughout my private agreement with Robbyne, and most importantly in my consciousness, the knowing that I am a living child of God, not one of the walking dead Corp(se) fictions.  It was that consciousness that heard the offer, to Mister; and my faith that no matter what was to happen next, that if I chose God and followed his truth, that He would give me the strength to stand, as a man holding His hand.</p><p></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/p/traction-and-distraction-3/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/traction-and-distraction-3/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/subscribe"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share Arlen&#8217;s Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share Arlen&#8217;s Substack</span></a></p><p></p><p></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Traction and Distraction - 2]]></title><description><![CDATA[#13.2 ~ What did you call me?

It&#8217;s like giving birth, or so I am told.  Cynthia often shares a story about the birth of our first child.  Like I chose to go to the mall by myself at four years old, Cynthia and I decided to start a family at 17.  So in the delivery room, this 17 year old mother to be has come to the conscious awareness, that getting this baby out of her, was <strong>SOLELY</strong> up to her. Any number of supporters and assistants could support or assist, but the work and big push was hers, and hers <strong>alone</strong>.  She recounts how once given the go ahead by the nurses, with them all standing around looking at her, she had a crystalizing realization, &#8220;this is <strong>my baby</strong>, and it&#8217;s up to <strong>me</strong> now&#8221;.  Right or wrong, the easy way or the hard way, One can choose how it&#8217;s gonna go.  One can fill out a cluster of documents, make a few proclamations, and poof(!) the slave is freed?  Not a chance.  Who One <strong>knows</strong> oneself to be, is the only way out of this one.  And that &#8220;knowing thyself&#8221; thing, has been covered by the greats of history. </em></p><div><hr></div><h3>Let me bring you up to speed</h3><p>In my last post <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/traction-and-distraction?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#13.1</a>, I described an event with a few Police Officer&#8217;s, myself, Cynthia, our truck and some jewelry.  There was the bit about not agreeing and not contracting and ultimately not performing.  While I was in the back seat of the cruiser with the jewelry affixed, I got to watch a little show, that had me laughing out loud, and yelling at the top of my lungs.  Cynthia, was standing down the Police Officers.  She held her ground, did not get angry, was polite, and at once extremely difficult for them to deal with.  She just kept saying &#8220;no, I do not agree&#8221;.  The lady Cop who tried to play &#8220;Good Cop&#8221; to her partners &#8220;Bad Cop&#8221;, asked, &#8220;why do you have to be so difficult?&#8221;  To which Cynthia retorted, &#8220;I was just heading home from a birthday party and YOU guys caused ALL of this, so who is being difficult?  This is all on you!&#8221;  After literally dancing, when asked by the Police Officer to &#8220;move&#8221;, Cynthia was intimidated and threatened into co-operating and getting out of her truck, which was then stolen.  She hounded the Officers, asking questions, and wouldn&#8217;t let them off the hook.  They hid in their cars, windows rolled up, with her knocking on the glass and calling them out as cowards.  &#8220;Shame, shame&#8221; she said, they just looked down at their laps.  She did not get any jewelry that day, but she made me proud.  The yelling that I did, was to alert the Policeman harassing Cynthia, that he had no Jurisdiction and in fact no business with her at all.  His partner, the &#8220;Lady Cop&#8221;, listening to what I was yelling, as she was just outside my window, at one point, shouted his name, &#8220;Keegan(??!)&#8221;, but he was in the middle of dancing with Cynthia, so to no avail.  But what I was saying gave her, the Officer, pause.</p><p>The thing about the &#8220;Driver&#8217;s License&#8221;, is that it so obviously delineates One&#8217;s agreement to the terms of &#8220;Citizen&#8221;, employee, person, NAME, all of it.  And then One performs by carrying it around everywhere and presenting it as identification whenever asked.  &#8220;Yup, here it is, that&#8217;s me and that&#8217;s my NAME&#8221;. </p><div><hr></div><ul><li><p><code>It is not necessary to expunge One&#8217;s Driver&#8217;s License to change One&#8217;s status.  One can hold a Driver&#8217;s License, but if you ever &#8220;use&#8221; it, as in present it as ID when asked, or submit it to the Officer at your window on the side of the road, then One is volunteering to be in the Public, acting as &#8220;person&#8221;/NAME.  As has been viewed on YouTube by many I am sure, One does not have to act in the capacity of a DRIVER and person when traveling along the highways and byways in their personal property.  Noticing the Police Officer that One is travelling in their &#8220;private&#8221; capacity is a start.  If One has the understanding and clarity to make this distinction, then One can pick and choose when to use a License.  Just like One can act as &#8220;The Manager&#8221; at their job at McDonalds, and then take off their name tag when they leave work, leaving their title and position behind, One can travel and not be acting as a Commercial Transporter, as was defined in the Vancouver v. Burchill case.  The issue, is to be able to have the conscious awareness of One&#8217;s status in each engagement.  By continuing to hold a valid Driver&#8217;s License, the Officer, or the Court, can easily assume that you are acting as NAME/person under the Statute Code.  One must give Notice to overcome that assumption, and the sooner in any engagement, the better.</code></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><p>I hold a Passport.  It is not mine, it says so inside, that it is the property of the Government of Canada.  So if I say it is mine, then that declaration is clearly stating that I am a representative of the Corporation CANADA.  No problem at all!  Volunteer away!  Inside that passport it also says, &#8220;<em>. . . allow the bearer to pass freely, without delay or hindrance and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary.&#8221;  </em>And it also states, &#8220;<em><strong>THE BEARER OF THIS PASSPORT IS A CANADIAN CITIZEN&#8221;!  </strong></em>I kind of see this as playing both sides of the fence.  Can the bearer be a man or woman?  Does not the term &#8220;Bearer&#8221; require a live body to bear it?  Or can a piece of paper, a registration, &#8220;bear&#8221; a passport?  Seems a little confusing to me.  In Government of Canada websites about Citizenship and Citizens, it is always <strong>only</strong> as &#8220;<em>persons</em>&#8221;.  &#8220;A <em>person</em> is a Citizen . . .&#8221; or &#8220;A Citizen is a <em>person . . .&#8221;  </em>Dear Reader, if you are not familiar with why I make such a HUGE deal about &#8220;<em>person</em>&#8221;, please review posts: <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/the-art-of-be-ing?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#2</a>, <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/persona-non-grata">#3</a>, <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/terms-and-conditions">#10</a>, and <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/when-the-dog-bites?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#11</a>.  One does not have to agree with my position on the significance of &#8220;<em>person&#8221;,</em> however, I have found that it, alongside &#8220;<em>performance</em>&#8221;, is the fulcrum upon which our volunteerism is leveraged.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

It was at the very end of the hearing after he had entered the plea, on NAME&#8217;s behalf, of Not Guilty, and upon my questioning of whom he wished to attend the upcoming trial, yelling at me MISTER X(family name here), YOU will attend or a warrant will be issued.  The breakdown on this is the &#8220;mister&#8221;.  And the &#8220;you&#8221; I suppose.  &#8220;You&#8221; is both singular and plural, so when the Judge is looking directly at me and says &#8220;you&#8221;, he means all of the you(s) that organize to identify as NAME, thus the term &#8220;organization&#8221; from the Criminal Code, ie: the man volunteering to act as and for NAME, any title(s) like Mr. or Mister, or any other title, and of course the Corporation that is NAME, drawing One into an &#8220;organization&#8221; or &#8220;person&#8221;.  All of these bundle up to a &#8220;YOU&#8221;.  It got even more interesting in my dealings with the Prosecutor&#8217;s Office.  When I telephoned their office inquiring as to acquiring disclosure (which is all the Police Officers statements, evidence, charges and interpretations etc., everything that they had on NAME re: these charges), they informed me that if I emailed their office with a request and a mailing address, that they would mail it to me.  And so I did that.  And they mailed it to the address that they had on their file, not the one that I gave in the written request as they had specified.  So I RTS&#8217;d it, RETURN TO SENDER.  I phoned them back to confirm the address to which they were to send disclosure.  They said they would <strong>not</strong> send it to the address given.  And then came another &#8220;Mister&#8221;.  I informed them verbally that I did not accept any such title, that I did not identify as a &#8220;Mister&#8221;, and to please cease from calling me such.  Then I got an email with yet another &#8220;mister&#8221;.  Emailed back the same sort of info as on the phone.  The misters finally stopped.  And so did all communications from the Prosecutor&#8217;s Office.  I called once more to inquire as to where the disclosure was, and are you ready for this(?!), they said they were no longer allowed to talk with me.  One more &#8220;mister&#8221; yet to go, but I&#8217;ll save that one for the end.</p><p>The <em><strong>Dis</strong></em>-traction, was the Judge yelling, and the Prosecutor slipping in, a title when I might not be paying attention.  </p><p>Another <em><strong>Dis</strong></em>-traction was a game of musical chairs with the Prosecutor&#8217;s Office and the man or woman acting as the Crown Prosecutor for my case.  When I had figured out that the last time I went to the Court, they had a switch hitter as Prosecutor, not the one that I was told would be present, thus making any agreements I had with the one that was not there, moot.  Up the chain I went.  The head Prosecutor for the regions North of Edmonton that covered all the Courts that I was dealing with was Patricia.  And so all the agreement process that was offered to Robynne, was also offered to Patricia.  I promptly received in my email box, a Notice, that Patricia was away on holiday and would not be back or available until after my trial date.  I mined a little further and was able to determine the personal email addresses for each of the Prosecutor&#8217;s so that I was able to bypass the general office email from which I had received the holiday notice.  For extra insurance, I sent along all of the offers to the Assistant to the Chief Prosecutor, Barry.  As I mentioned previously, a much broader net.</p><p><em><strong>Traction</strong></em> is what I was seeking in my agreements with these men and women.  <em><strong>Dis</strong></em>-traction is what they wished for me to achieve.</p><ul><li><p>dis-  </p><ul><li><p>word-forming element of Latin origin meaning 1.

represents a horrid reality.  In 2018, the Canadian Government passed Bill C46, which strips away rights of the persons being governed.  To be found guilty and charged without trial, property seized and financial penalty assigned, all without appearing before a Judge!  Enter the term Mandatory.  Where did we hear that one recently.  Bill C46 gave the Police the power to stop anyone without cause, anytime, for no reason whatsoever, and demand compliance to the Criminal Code of Canada.  Refusal to comply became an automatic guilty as charged.  Some wonder why I make such a big deal about these ramblings I put down here and attempt to live by everyday.  I am not a slave, and I refuse to live like one.  I will do everything in my power to learn and comprehend how I/we have come to this point and thus act in a way that will take me to a better place, as a child of God living a free self directed existence.</em></p><div><hr></div><p>An interesting thing happened on the way home from a nine year olds birthday party.  The Birthday being referenced was for one of those boys I mentioned in a previous post, the ones that don&#8217;t exist &#8212; on paper anyways.  It had been a pleasant afternoon in late April of &#8216;22, the &#8220;Covid times&#8221; were still fresh in our minds and hearts and it was so nice to get together with some friends, have a laugh and some cake, and celebrate this boys life.  It was on the way home, at about 6pm, cresting the hill just before town that suddenly there were blue and red flashing lights everywhere.  There was an officer standing in the road stopping cars, waving some on and directing some into the adjacent parking lot of the Ford dealership.  I happened to be so fortunate as to have been chosen as one of the '&#8220;special&#8221; ones for further interactions.  In the Province of Alberta there are &#8220;Check Stops&#8221;, where a cluster of Police Officers stop vehicles and &#8220;check&#8221; if the Driver had been drinking.  So when an Officer appeared at my window with some kind of medical looking contraption hanging around his neck with a hose connected to it and shoved it toward my face, the hose that is, and then directed me to &#8220;blow&#8221; into it, I said no.  He informed me that it was a &#8220;Mandatory Blow&#8221; and that if I didn&#8217;t blow I would be charged with a &#8220;DUI&#8221;, my car impounded, my license suspended etc.  An automatic guilty verdict for not complying with the statute, a step along the way to &#8220;you have no Rights&#8221;.</p><p>It had been over 10 years at this point, since Cynthia and I had left LA and our fight against the Banks.  In 2010, we had headed south to LA (Los Angeles, California) for a course that we had been accepted to, that was held once a month for 6 sessions beginning in June of that year.  We were knowledgable enough at that point to really get ourselves into trouble, so of course, we jumped in with both feet (all four I suppose).  Thus began our 14 month sojourn into Banking, mortgage fraud, administrative process, property and promissory note acquisition, traveling and living in the Southwest US, and really pissing the Banksters off.  I bring this up only to relate, that upon our exhausted return to our farm in Canada, just before Christmas 2011, for the most part, we took a break from poking the bear.  I will in future, return to our LA Story as we learned so so much, and indeed, the whole experience changed not only our lives, but the lives of our whole family and community.</p><p>Now, back to our feature presentation.  As I confirmed with the Officer, that I was declining his offer, he reminded me again, that it would result with many, in his mind, negative consequences.  With my third declination, &#8220;no&#8221;, the Officer stepped back in disbelief and called to his compatriots that &#8220;I&#8217;m gonna need some help here&#8221;.  With two large men in uniforms with flak jackets and 9mm Smith and Wessons upon their hips, the offers began.  I offered, that if they could prove that they had jurisdiction over me, I would comply.  They stated that I was within their jurisdiction as I had just been driving on the highway.  I stated that I was not driving and that I was not in Alberta and again offered that if they could prove their position, then I would comply.  After some back and forth, the bigger Officer said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t care what your  beliefs are, I&#8217;m placing you under arrest&#8221;.  To which again, I declined his offer.  They did not like it when I didn&#8217;t submit to them and cower in compliance.  I had forgotten to lock my door with all of this questioning and offering, so the Officer then whipped open my door and said &#8220;get out&#8221;.  Yet another offer which I declined.  He tried to pull me out by my arm to which I declined the offer and attempted to stay within my vehicle.  I told them that I did not agree, to let go of my arm, and that I would not contract with them.  He let go of my arm, only to wind up for the big offensive, whereupon two of them physically manhandled me out of my truck, and surprise, cheek placed firmly on the tarmac, knee in my back, and arm twisted behind me.  I suppose on reflection, my attempt to stay in my truck could have been deemed as resisting arrest.  At no time was I violent, name calling, cursing, nor anything but respectful.  Now with my face down on the ground, the Officer said, &#8220;give me your hand&#8221;, for the jewelry, and I said &#8220;I do not agree&#8221;.  They rather violently grabbed my hand, yanked it behind my back and said &#8220;give me your other hand&#8221;.  I think you know where this is going by now, my answer, &#8220;I do not agree&#8221;.  They grabbed my other hand and click went the second cuff.  They now both stood up, off of my prostrate body and said, &#8220;Get up&#8221;.  &#8220;I do not agree&#8221; said I.  They, with increasing frustration expressed by an increased level of violence, wrenched me up to standing directly beside the open door of their cruiser, after a pat down and stealing whatever contents I had in my pockets, they continued, &#8220;Get in&#8221;.  With the answer presumed, by the Officers, and when stated by myself, &#8220;I do not agree&#8221;, they heaved me into the back seat of the cruiser and closed the door. </p><p>To this point, I had not given a name, made any agreement that I was aware of, and did my best to not contract by any performance on my part.  I further spiced the exchanges with an &#8220;I am co-operating with you out of threat, intimidation, and duress.  As you are carrying a gun and I am in a state of duress as a result, in no way am I: in agreement with you, submitting to your authority, or accepting any of your offers&#8221;.   When the officer had dug out the Passport that I carry in the glove box of my vehicle (unlawful search and seizure by the way), he figured he had me, with name, address, identity, Citizenship, etc.  When he pulled up the name on his computer, the game changed.  Now I would love to say that there was a &#8220;DO NOT DETAIN&#8221; associated with the name, I have not cracked that one just yet.  But what there was <strong>not</strong> attached to &#8220;NAME&#8221;, was a &#8220;Driver&#8217;s License&#8221;, thus corroborating my statement that I had no agreement or contract around the whole &#8220;Driving&#8221; issue.  In 2012, upon our return from California, I had prepared a document which I sent and gave Notice to the Minister of Service Alberta, acting as the Solicitor General for the Province of Alberta.</p><p></p><div><hr></div><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

clear.  So, the Officer, not being able to charge a &#8220;Driver&#8221; with the offences outlined in the Criminal Code for DUI, suspension of license, etc. etc. was left with the charge of Driving without a License, and failure to produce Vehicle Registration, for which he scheduled a court appearance for me, or &#8220;NAME&#8221;, to enter a plea.  I went home that same afternoon.  Cynthia commented that once again, Arlen who was locked in the back of a cruiser for a time, or put behind bars (for only an hour), comes walking calmly and smiling towards her, to rejoin and embrace.  </p><p>In preparation for the plea hearing, I did the following:</p><ul><li><p>inquired as to how to enter evidence into the Court file</p></li><li><p>sent a copy of my evidence to the Prosecutor&#8217;s office by email</p></li><li><p>got to the Courthouse early to enter the documents into the file</p><ul><li><p>the Clerk of the Court refused to stamp my documents as received by the Court as they did not adhere to the &#8220;samples online&#8221;, nor were they prepared by a Lawyer (Member of the Bar), but that they would be put into the file and the Judge could look at them</p></li></ul></li><li><p>prior to the plea hearing, when I asked the Prosecutor if he had received my documents, he gruffly and irritatedly said that he had and that he had not looked at them and that he did not have to look at them</p></li><li><p>in the hearing, when I asked the Judge if he had the documents, he replied with the same answer</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><div

I had recently listened to an interview with <a href="https://annavonreitz.com/">Anna von Reitz</a>, where she had addressed the issue of Affidavits and entering evidence and how to not surrender One&#8217;s self and sovereignty to the authority of the Corporate Court.  In consultation with minister Edward, he recommended that I not file anything with the word Affidavit, as he felt that was potentially a submission to the Bar&#8217;s procedure and form, thus rendering oneself under their jurisdiction.  I do not have my head wrapped fully around the word meaning and origin of &#8220;asseveration&#8221;, other than to say it is the word of a man (or woman) before God, with him, God, as the receiver and Judge of those words.  Can&#8217;t get much higher than that, I&#8217;d say.</p><p>So with &#8220;Asseveration&#8221; filed with the Clerk, if not stamped, I, the man, appeared before the Judge to make my plea.  After some wrangling about the NAME and who was who, and who was &#8220;you&#8221;, I offered to the Judge that I was guilty to the facts.  As I had made the facts known within my documents.  Twice I said, &#8220;I am guilty to the facts!&#8221;  The Judge turned to the Clerk and said, &#8220;enter a plea of Not Guilty and schedule a trial date&#8221;.  I asked the Judge whom he wished to see at the upcoming trial: NAME, the Birth Certificate, or the man, myself, Arlen Paul?  He then appeared to lose his temper and yelled, looking directly at me: &#8220;MISTER - <em>my family name - </em>, YOU are to be here at the upcoming date or a warrant will be issued for your arrest!  And with that he hammered his gavel and said, &#8220;next&#8221;.  To some, it may seem unbelievable that this was the way it went on that day, I was fortunate enough to have witnesses with me, beyond my dearest Cynthia/co - truthwarrior.  I also got the official transcript, so that I might be assured that my memory served.</p><div><hr></div><p>In review of what had happened during that plea hearing I surmise the following:</p><ul><li><p>the refusal by the Clerk to officially receive and stamp my documents, further confirms that the court/game field has a secret rule book that is not one of simple truth, guilt, and punishment, how my document was inappropriate is beyond me</p></li><li><p>Sandra, the individual Crown Prosecutor did not act upon my &#8220;Notice of Duty to Accommodate&#8221;, she was nowhere to be seen or heard from and it was a different gentleman who was acting as the &#8220;Crown Prosecutor&#8221; against me, that day anyway</p></li><li><p>at some point, the Judge felt he was able to bring me under his authority/jurisdiction, as he scheduled the trial based on <strong>his</strong> plea entry of &#8220;Not Guilty&#8221; (<em>now I suppose if I had not been there at all, which the party volunteering to act as and for NAME was in fact not there, a not guilty plea may have been entered by the Judge acting as Trustee, and thus a trial scheduled, again more complicated stuff we can get into in future)</em>  </p></li><li><p>when the Judge, raised his voice and looked directly at me, calling me &#8220;MISTER -  <em>my family name - </em>&#8221;, and by my lack of response or protest to the use of that specific term/title, I performed in acceptance of the term, which attached me to NAME (<em>this subtle technique, which he knew exactly what he was doing, brought me as volunteer into his jurisdiction, more on this in future)</em></p><p></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><h4>Asseveration</h4><p>Above I have images showing what I attempted to file into the Court.  I feel that the Clerk had been warned that I might make such an attempt as I had already sent them to the Prosecutor.  She, the Clerk, at first tried to dissuade me from even entering the papers as &#8220;it was the inappropriate time&#8221;, &#8220;this is just a plea hearing&#8221; she said.  &#8220;It&#8217;s not normal to make filings at this point&#8221;.  I insisted and so as mentioned, they were not stamped but &#8220;placed&#8221; into the file.</p><p>The form of my &#8220;Asseveration&#8221; is very much in keeping with an Affidavit.  Although I did use the technique of presenting the facts in &#8220;negative averment&#8221;, where to refute/rebut the fact, one must present evidence, not just a statement or as(pre)sumption.</p><p>In documents now, I present my name in the manner of the &#8220;Quantum Language&#8221; crowd; Arlen-Paul: (family name here), as opposed to how I rendered it in this document, &#8220;Arlen Paul Family name here&#8221;.  Using upper and lower case lettering is not enough to separate One&#8217;s self from the assumed NAME.  I am not fully on board with all things &#8220;Quantum&#8221;, though I see some merit, I feel it does accurately convey the &#8220;name&#8221; that describes myself.</p><p>In <em><a href="https://www.canlii.org/en/ca/scc/doc/1932/1932canlii29/1932canlii29.html">VANCOUVER v. BURCHILL</a>, </em>a Supreme Court of Canada decision from back in the 1930&#8217;s, the Court clarified the distinction between &#8220;Operating a vehicle for hire&#8221; as opposed to &#8220;private conveyance&#8221;.  Wherein, the operations in commercial trade are under the jurisdiction of the Bylaws and Statute Code.  I do not feel that One can stand on this decision alone when dealing with Driving vs. traveling etc., but to use it for clarity to describe the separation between &#8220;public - commercial&#8221; and &#8220;private&#8221; use of One&#8217;s property.  To be clear.  Public = the domain of NAME, PERSON, all things  CORPORATE, THE CORPORATION, THE CROWN, all COURTS as we presently know them, STATUTE CODE (<strong>not law but legal),</strong> paper &#8220;REGISTRATIONS AND TITLES&#8221;, etc<strong>.  </strong>As opposed to Private = the domain of men women and peoples, Natural and God&#8217;s Law, where Truth is Truth and Lies are Lies, flesh and blood and dirt and water, etc.  One could also quantify as &#8220;real&#8221; and &#8220;not real&#8221;.</p><div><hr></div><h4>Duty to Accommodate</h4><div

was hoping to avoid, was on June 8.  In this court, in Athabasca, there is not a specific appointed Crown Prosecutor, it alternates to whom is available to come from a nearby larger centre and Provincial Courthouse on each scheduled day for Court.  I feel that as this communication was to an individual woman, they, the Prosecutor&#8217;s Office, may have been able to skate around it as this Prosecutor, Sandra, had nothing to do with my issue as things moved forward.  I communicated with her as I was told that Sandra was the one dealing with this issue.  In the ensuing communications I cast a much larger net.</p><p>I expand much further into the issue of &#8220;Duty to Accommodate&#8221; in the private agreements which are forthcoming in #13.2, part 2, a continuation of this post.</p><div><hr></div><h4>Getting a Grip</h4><p>As I have layed out in previous posts, <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/persona-non-grata">#3 Persona non Grata</a>, <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/terms-and-conditions">#10 Terms and Conditions</a>, and most recently in <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/can-a-lie-be-un-lied">#12 Can a lie be un - lied</a>, One has a choice, described explicitly within the ICCPR and many other documents, to be attached to NAME/PERSON or not.  It is calling upon the &#8220;Public Service Providers&#8221; that are attached to not only NAME (that sounds like their own) but also attached to the Office or Title that they are volunteering to act as and for.  In other words, the man or woman that is acting as and for &#8220;Crown Prosecutor&#8221;, or &#8220;Mister Police Officer&#8221;, or indeed &#8220;Manager&#8221; of the local McDonald&#8217;s is acting in the capacity of a &#8220;Public Service Provider&#8221;.  Not only that, but they, the men and women, are all also working for the same Boss, THE CORPORATION or THE CROWN, as all Corporate Registries connect back to THE CITY OF LONDON/CROWN.  And in such capacity, they, any and all Public Service Providers, have a &#8220;Duty to Accommodate&#8221;!  To accommodate any One who stands as a man or women making declaration and standing as &#8220;<strong>not&#8221;</strong> PERSON, or &#8220;<strong>not</strong>&#8221; CITIZEN, or &#8220;<strong>not</strong>&#8221; DRIVER, etc. </p><p>Citizen is a bit of a slippery slope.  When I was being held behind bars (for one hour), back in spring of 2013, my release became reliant on my answer to a question.  I did not know it at the time, but the Officer that stood in the open doorway of the cell holding a clip board and referencing some kind of document said, &#8220;&#8230; oh, and one more thing.  It says here that you were born in Minneapolis, Minnesota?  So are you an American Citizen?&#8221; to which I answered &#8220;no&#8221;.  He continued, &#8220;Oh right  &#8212; , you carry a Canadian Passport, so you are a Canadian Citizen?&#8221;  Again, I answered &#8220;no&#8221;.  &#8220;So where are you a Citizen&#8221; he asked confusedly?  I sat back down on the bed, asking for the answer from the Holy Ghost.  Out of my mouth spilled, &#8220;I am a Citizen of God&#8217;s Creation&#8221;!  The Officer stepped aside and said &#8220;you are free to go&#8221;.  At the time, the FBI had been making inquiries to the RCMP about my whereabouts.  I cannot be sure, but I think if I had agreed to Citizenship in either country, I would have been on a plane to Montana.  </p><p>The traction that we have at our disposal, is the truth.  The truth is that One is God&#8217;s child, an inheritor of his kingdom, which includes your soul (he created your soul for you and no one else) and your right to live and believe what One will.  It is only, ONLY, One&#8217;s will that is voluntarily subverted, to act in the capacity of a PERSON, NAME, or CORPORATE CITIZEN and to give up One&#8217;s status as a man/woman/people.  So too, it is with the &#8220;STATE&#8221;.  We, by our performance, have agreed to a Corporatocracy by which it is assumed that as Citizens of said STATE we have sold ourselves to our creditor as slaves and we stand as surety securing the paper debt.  The paper, that is the Registration of Live Birth, creating the BIRTH CERTIFICATE, which is borrowed against for the &#8220;paper&#8221; financial system, creates the debt note, that is every dollar in circulation.  Digital or printed, all dollars and notes are a fiction that each such an One agrees to stand as surety for by their performance, thus becoming a slave to the creditor.  The creditor is THE CORPORATION/CROWN!  THE CITY OF LONDON, where ALL Financial institutions originate.  You are your own redeemer for this debt and slavery.  The gift has been given by your creator, endowing Oneself with the birthright that is yours as an inheritor of this creation, made for you.  No one else can save you from this one.</p><p>The <strong>dis</strong>-traction is the lie.  That any of these papers or Registrations have authority over One&#8217;s self.  <strong>Author</strong>ity?!  Who is the author of One&#8217;s life and self?  Is it your parents, your teachers, Professors, the Policy Enforcer&#8217;s of THE CORPORATION, the Judges in magical Black Robes, how about Politicians who make decisions as directed by those who have Authority over them (WEF, WHO, World Bank, etc.).  No matter how One slices it, it can only be Ones self that has authority.  If One volunteers to hand it over to any &#8220;other&#8221;, then One has subjected themself, to what that &#8220;other&#8221; directs.</p><div><hr></div><p><code>     I have said this before, and I

was in my old stomping grounds of South Edmonton, specifically, Southgate Mall.  I was shopping for a gift for Cynthia for our wedding anniversary at the department store that used to be called, &#8220;The Hudson&#8217;s Bay Company&#8221;.  Southgate Mall looms large in my past, beginning with, coincidentally, it&#8217;s beginning, a <strong>very</strong> memorable event.  It was the summer of 1970 and I had just turned 4 years old.  Looking back on this memory now, it seems impossible to be true, but I digress.  The loom that is large, is what I mentioned in my <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/pinnochio-had-it-right?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">Pinnochio</a> post, regarding lying.  In this case, it is the consequence of me telling a lie.  I had a friend that was two years older than myself and he lived in the apartments directly behind our house.  His name was Detlev, his parents had escaped East Germany by leaving their first born with relatives.  Detlev and I had many misadventures together, this one, being one of the first.  So being all of four years old, upon the very much hyped and Big Deal, that was the opening of Western Canada&#8217;s largest Mall, Detlev and I thought we should go and have a look.  Well, I think it was Detlev&#8217;s idea, as that was across 51st Avenue, a boundary that I was not allowed to cross, as 51st was the busiest street in our neighbourhood and even in 1970, four year olds were not allowed to traverse unaccompanied.  But, since my friend was so old and experienced about such things; going further afield and disobeying parents that is, I thought, sure, let&#8217;s go and see what the big deal is at the new mall.</p><p>There were fountains, several different waterworks displays with flashing coloured lights the likes of which I had never seen,  and there were people everywhere.  I had never been in such a crowd in all my years!  As we had no money to buy anything, we took a look around and came home.  At supper that night, my Mom asked me what I thought of the new mall?  I felt like a mouse in a trap, left with nothing to do but squirm.  She then asked if I had gone to the mall, crossing 51st, disobeying her.  Of course, I figured that there was no way that my Mother could have known where I had been, so I lied and said &#8220;no&#8221;.  She then asked specifically if I had gone to the the new mall by myself, without a sibling or grown up?  Again I lied, well sort of, I did go with Detlev, again, I answered &#8220;no&#8221;.  I realize in retelling this story now, that I was in a courtroom sitting in the box.  The court of Mom&#8217;s Bench, where she was the clerk, the judge, and the prosecutor and it was held at the family table.  It turned out to be my sister that was the one to give eyewitness testimony!  And so the prosecutor called her witness, and my sister, who was almost eight years old and allowed to go to such places and cross busy streets, bore witness to the fact of seeing me with Detlev at the mall where she had been with her friend Jody.  Two eyewitnesses!  I could not overcome that.  And so the guilty verdict was given and the punishment proclaimed.  Pinnochio&#8217;s nose grew when he lied, when I lied and got caught, my mouth was unceremoniously washed out with soap.  Now dear reader, for those of you who have not had the loving experience of having the inside of your mouth cleansed in such a way . . . , there aren&#8217;t words.  There is only weeping and wailing and tears and coughing and spitting and rinsing and rinsing and then more crying, I think you get the idea.</p><p>I learned that day, that the crime of disobeying my parents directive, in this case travelling unchaperoned beyond the specified boundary, was not what this punishment was provided for.  It was for the much more serious crime of dishonesty and acting in the performance of that dishonesty, the &#8220;telling&#8221; of the lie.  </p><div><hr></div><h3><code>~ On &#8220;words&#8221; in general:</code></h3><p>We tend to think, that speaking is expressing One&#8217;s thoughts.  At least that is what One is usually attempting to do. Communication is the act of bringing together minds and hearts so that there is shared understanding.  In our social groups, we spend a tremendous amount of time and energy to achieve this goal of common understanding, a meeting of the minds.  Our abilities to use complicated language to relate complicated thoughts and experiences is our, mans, most magnificent achievement.  It is to that end that I dwell on, and wish to expand on, our understanding of what One is standing under, the language, words, that we use to express those complicated concepts.  It is how each word and how it is being used, creating a specific meaning that makes a difference.  When One fully comprehends what One is saying, and when One is able to achieve the complex clarity of communicating a specific and accurate representation of what is in their head or heart, we have an opportunity for each such an One to connect with another.</p><p>Now the other thing that happens with words and language, is that instead of expressing outwardly our thoughts and feelings, they, the words, play a large part in our ability to form thoughts at all.  The simplest example I can think of for this, is the concept that the peoples of the North, the Inuit in Canada, have many more words to describe snow than we do in the English language.  If there is not a word to describe, as specifically as possible, to accurately convey One&#8217;s thought and meaning, then we have a problem.  For the Inuit at least historically, snow played a very large role in their day to day and being able to communicate how that snow would affect their: travel, hunting, building and buildings, the very fabric of their lives; meant life and death.  So words are not a big deal, they are THE deal if One wishes to share and commune and meaningfully connect.  I have heard of silent retreats, or Monks spending time in silence, and I do believe that connection and community can be achieved without the use of verbal communication.  From working with animals all of my life, I am also well aware of the silent communication that is somatic, body language.  Body language comprises a surprisingly large component of underlying, baseline, communication.  Words are where the truly complex concepts are shared, exchanged, and considered within one&#8217;s mind.   I am a bit of an efficiency nut and one of the demons that I deal with every day is a time demon, so I choose to speak, with words, conveying my thoughts as accurately and succinctly as possible.</p><div><hr></div><h3>~ <code>On person and performance:</code></h3><p>Many years ago I listened to a podcast/video, before they were called podcasts, where the word &#8220;person&#8221; was considered.  An exotic bird dealer from Ontario was explaining that his analysis of the word person, boiled down to:  <code>per - </code>by and through, and <code>son - </code>a son, a child, in his examination, a child of God.  Although I have come to disagree with his breakdown of this word, it does exemplify that the pieces can be examined and then reassembled to make a whole, gaining clarity in the process.  My take on &#8220;person&#8221; is as follows</p><p><code>per</code>  -  <em>through, thoroughly, throughout, by means of, completely: as in per - chlorate (perchlorate vs. chlorate represents being more, or the most, of a thing, in this case four oxygen atoms attached to one chlorine; chlorate is three oxygen to one chlorine);</em>  <code>son - </code><em> shortening of: </em>sona, sonage, sonum, <em>etc. all relating to sound, or speech.</em></p><p>It is the spirit, the self, the consciousness; where the thought comes from that is expressed through words. Through the sonorous tones of One&#8217;s voice, made by the breath vibrating in frequencies, together with the complex manipulations of the mouth and tongue, such that the sound of words are created.  Thus &#8220;per-son&#8221; -  <em>being wholly and completely - the creation by voice</em>.  This is why the Greek <em>persona</em> is regarded as the mask on the stage for the portrayal of a character.  In the KJV Bible, where the Word clearly demarcates that to have respect of persons is to commit sin, the sin is giving consideration to what One is pretending or acting as, vs. what or who One is, a man or woman.</p><p>The entwining of One&#8217;s self with the &#8220;person&#8221;, is a very messy business.  What I speak of now, as the &#8220;person&#8221;, is the NAME, all caps, registered CORP(se).  If you are not clear on what I mean by person/NAME please go back to <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/the-art-of-be-ing?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#2 The Art of Being</a> and <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/persona-non-grata?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#3 Persona non Grata</a>, and/or <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/terms-and-conditions?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#10 Terms and Conditions</a>. I guess when it comes right down to it, the self, the One that I refer to in &#8220;such an One&#8221;, is what I understand to be the soul.  The &#8220;person&#8221; is always a manifestation, an other, an inconstant entity (actually entities) that One can identify as for a specified purpose.  It is not who One is, but who One is acting as.  Which is how One can act as a CEO, a Mayor, a hockey Coach, or a lead in a Musical and not &#8220;be&#8221; any of these.  Each of these characters acts in the capacity of each role as a persona, hence person.  So, One can act in many capacities having differing obligations, responsibilities, and liabilities that go along with each persona/mask/character.  Accentuated in the Word in <strong>KJV James 2: 9</strong><em><strong>: &nbsp;&#8220;But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.&#8221;, </strong></em> and also found in <strong>Jude 1: 16:</strong><em><strong> &#8220;&#8230; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words,] having men&#8217;s persons in admiration because of advantage.&#8221;.  </strong></em>So why is it such a big deal to make these distinctions of who One is and who One is acting as?</p><div><hr></div><ul><li><p><code>At this point in history, the Court which One will be heard and &#8220;re&#8221;-presented in is not the court of public opinion, or the court of One&#8217;s peers, it will be the Court run and ruled by the BAR Association, where the term, the word, &#8220;PERSON&#8221;, can and will be held against you!!</code></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><p>Performance is taken apart as follows:</p><p><code>per - </code>(same as above) &#8230; <em>thoroughly,</em> <em>completely, by means of;  </em><code>form - </code><em>come into existence, to give form or shape to, fashion, construct;</em>  <code>ance - </code><em>instance of an action or process.</em></p><p>Thus, &#8220;performance&#8221; is a specific thing that One has done or does, action, in relationship to a specific thing, ie: One&#8217;s performance in a play, executing the duties of an Office or Title, acting regarding an agreement or contract, etc.  Performance, as it pertains to this discussion has to do with &#8220;attaching&#8221; Oneself to seen and unseen contracts.  When the Judge calls the NAME, that sounds an awful lot like yours, and you stand and answer, then you have performed; in the unseen, assumed, contract wherein you have agreed to act as or for NAME, a privately owned registered Corporation that you do not own (see <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/the-art-of-be-ing?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">#2 The Art of Being</a>).  This is not only in the case of a courtroom and Judge, but also in every commercial transaction from signed documents to using your debit card.  One&#8217;s performance, in acting as or for the NAME, creates joinder to these contracts, even if One has no idea of what the contract is or what it entails!  There are fallbacks, such as, &#8220;I was unaware of what was being offered by the offeree and was not made aware of the details of the proposed agreement to which I allegedly agreed to by my performance, and therefore claim that the agreement/contract was made in fraud and is vitiated <em>ab initio&#8221;.</em></p><div><hr></div><ul><li><p><em>I began writing this post prior to #10 Terms and Conditions and #11 When the Dog Bites.  In the consideration of &#8220;performance&#8221; and that it is so misunderstood and overlooked, I further defined and elaborated some specifics in those two posts.  I now bring in an examination of the effect of One&#8217;s performance and surrounding elements.  So if this is repetitive, I apologize to those who know, and for those who don&#8217;t, I&#8217;ll continue repeating as the unwashing of the brain sometimes takes some hard scrubbing.</em></p></li></ul><h4></h4><div><hr></div><h4>

three modes listed above can come into play.  The most common is telling of lies, speaking.  Back in August of 1970, with the Southgate incident, my verbal answer under questioning, created the dissonance, the lie.  I had broken my parents rule and then I said that I did not, hence the more serious crime of a lie which required some mouth learnin&#8217;.  During the covid years, Cynthia and I regularly received propaganda in the mail from the Alberta (Provincial) Government.  Sweeping declarations of doing the &#8220;right&#8221; thing with injections or locking oneself in One&#8217;s home or protecting everybody by not singing, yelling, dancing, socializing in any way and to wear a sign of your submission and fear, the face diaper.  These little mailouts were lies on paper, sometimes not even declaring where it had originated from.  Then there are impossible contracts, more paper lies.  Most every government and corporate related interaction with NAME, is an impossibility.  Wherein, such an One is committing the crime of personation by signing, agreeing to, or, performing and enlivening the CORP(se) with One&#8217;s energy and collusion.  Again, one does not own the Corporation that is NAME!  When one stands for and claims to be, or act as or for that Corporation; <strong>it is fraud</strong>.  An agreement or contract that makes the commission of a crime a necessary component, is unenforceable and fraud.  I guess the question comes down to this:  &#8220;When was I given the terms of my employ?&#8221;  &#8220;When did I volunteer to take a position in the privately owned Corporation that is CANADA?&#8221;  &#8220;When did I accept a TITLE bringing me under the jurisdiction of ALBERTA/CANADA/CROWN?&#8221; (for more understanding on this see <a href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/p/all-your-money">#6 ALL your MONEY</a>).  The answer to each of the aforementioned questions is:  you agreed to all of these by your PERFORMANCE!!!!  Every time you file a tax return, open a bill that came in the mail, vote, make a DE-posit in the Bank, etc. you perform such that you are in agreement with the terms and conditions of operating a NAME/PERSON bringing One directly under the authority of THE CORPORATION by Attachment.  Such an One becomes attached to and joined to NAME by One&#8217;s performance.</p><p>Back to the ICCPR:</p><p>Article 1: <em>All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.</em>&nbsp;</p><p>Article 16: <em>Everyone shall have the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.</em></p><p>In this section on the ICCPR, &#8220;<em>peoples</em>&#8221; are men and women; &#8220;<em>Everyone</em>&#8221; is not a &#8220;<em>person</em>&#8221;, but has the &#8220;<em>right to recognition everywhere as a person . . . &#8221;  </em>should One so choose.</p><ul><li><p><em>in the CRIMINAL CODE OF CANADA, &#8220;every one&#8221; is defined differently within that document and its Jurisdiction, as &#8220;<strong>every one</strong>, <strong>person</strong> and <strong>owner</strong>, and similar expressions, include Her Majesty and an organization&#8221;.  Apologies for the repetition here, a reminder that in legal documents the word &#8220;<strong>includes</strong>&#8221; means <strong>ONLY(!!!), </strong>so therefore, <strong>only</strong> Her (His) Majesty and organizations are - <strong>every one</strong>, <strong>person</strong> and <strong>owner</strong>, and it is to them that this &#8220;Code&#8221; is to be applied before the Law!</em></p></li></ul><p>This spells out exactly what I have been laying down here.  Peoples are not persons, One is not a person, but has the right to recognition &#8220;as&#8221; a person.  Now VERY importantly:  these codes, laws, United Nations Declarations, what have you, do not bring One under their jurisdictions unless One volunteers, most commonly, by  performance.  <strong>However</strong>, if One wishes to act as and for One&#8217;s self or One&#8217;s God and <strong>not</strong> act as or for NAME/CORP(se), the person/THE CORPORATION, then One can do so.  This is more of the choreography for the dance out of Babylon.  There are different levels to which One can achieve this removal, but it starts with consciousness and understanding, the re-bar in the concrete, of the truth of who One is and who One is <strong>not</strong>.  The public officials MUST follow the guidelines of all of these different codes, statutes, etc.  As such, they have a &#8220;duty to accommodate&#8221;.  When such an One as yourself comes forward making declaration and standing in the position of man not person, outside of their jurisdiction, they won&#8217;t be happy, and likely will be a little confused, but they, the Public Servant must accommodate!  THEY are bound by the statute code to which they have volunteered and submitted themselves to.  If you volunteer to act as NAME, you are now under that same jurisdiction, so stay out, make it known, and hold Their feet to the fire to accommodate!</p><div><hr></div><h3>~  Lies  and  Un - lying</h3><p>Of course, the answer is no, lies cannot be un - lied.  A lie can be corrected, atoned for, forgiven, redressed, or redeemed.  The performance of whatever act: verbally, written, or by action/performance, that created the lie cannot be removed from history or time.  But the new Covenant of redemption is available to all those who wish to claim it.  </p><ul><li><p>redeem: defined by Merriam Webster Online; <strong>1,a) </strong>to buy back <strong>: REPURCHASE </strong>and 2,<strong>d) </strong>to free from the consequences of sin</p></li></ul><p>I never thought of it in exactly these terms until writing and investigating this post.  It would seem, that when One sins, tells a lie, that a payment must be made, by someone, to redeem the sinner/liar.  The question that immediately follows, in my mind,  is, who is owed the debt(?!), the balance owed to repurchase, who is One being bought back from.  In the Old Covenant/Testament, One could pay his debt by selling himself (in service for the specified time, acting as a slave) to the One owed.  So with your debt/sin, who is the other party, if Christ is the Redeemer?  The three parties involved in this redemption situation are: 1.) the sinner or debtor, 2.) the redeemer, Christ, the repurchaser or the one paying the debt, and 3.) the creditor, the one holding the debt, the lender, ???? (who is it).</p><ul><li><p>let&#8217;s break this redemption thing down just a little bit more</p><ul><li><p>to redeem is to buy back, repurchase, for the cause of freeing from sin</p></li><li><p>so before One sins, or at the moment One has just been redeemed from a former debt/sin, the slate is clean, the ledger is balanced, no debt owed</p></li><li><p>then inevitably, One sins and adds an entry into the &#8220;must be paid for column&#8221;</p></li><li><p>Christ has told us that it is by and through him that we can re - unite with The Father, as by him/Christ, One&#8217;s redemption is made possible, thus balancing the ledger</p></li></ul></li></ul><p>So in the Old Covenant, it was a sacrifice made as payment for the sin, and adherence to the Law that pleased God and put One in good stead.  So with the &#8220;New Covenant&#8221;, the Lamb of God was slain as redeemer for all people, making all debts &#8220;pre-paid&#8221;.  One of my former teachers, Winston, would pound on that pre - paid notion, and only now I think I might just be starting to get it.  In my upbringing in the Lutheran Church, this notion of the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world was presented.  I&#8217;m not kidding, those are the actual words used, taking away &#8220;the sin of the world&#8221;.  Now the problem I see with this, and that I see with many of the self proclaimed Christians around me, is the lack of responsibility and accountability that flows from this. When One is told that the <strong>sins of the world</strong> have been redeemed/pre - paid/washed away, it seems to turn into a bit of a free pass.  There is a saying; &#8220;There but for the grace of God, go I&#8221;!!!  So it is only God&#8217;s grace, through the gift of the sacrifice of his son to pre - pay anything and everything?  At once this is correct, in my esteem, and yet, the &#8220;free pass&#8221; aspect of this creates a state of &#8220;pre&#8221; - forgiveness which is not how God asks us to live, ie: without any regard to the ledger and balance sheet of debts by sin.</p><p>We&#8217;ll revisit this &#8220;free - pass&#8221; and &#8220;pre - forgiven&#8221; aspect of the redemption issue in future.  For now, let&#8217;s get back to the creditor and debtor element.  To re - cap, One sins, One now has a debt written in the ledger &#8212; <strong>so </strong>&#8212; who is the creditor, the One to whom the debt is owed?  Did God The Father, send his son, to redeem the people, that choose to accept his son as their personal saviour, so that by and through him (the son and sacrifice), One could be given the ability to return to Himself/God/The Father?  As in, God is the creditor, the One to whom the debt is owed?  And the torture and murder of his son paid the debts of all those who accept the offer, so that the balance sheet is zeroed and we can return to The Father, to God, the creditor??????  Again, I don&#8217;t think so.</p><p>Could it be, that this whole debt/redemption issue is the origin of the unseen contract with &#8220;Not God&#8221;?  </p><p>In reading 1 John chapter 4 recently, I came upon this turn of phrase where he is describing what is the Spirit of God and what is the spirit of antichrist; &#8220;Not God&#8221;:</p><ul><li><p><em><strong>KJV 1 John, 4 : 3) </strong>And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.  <strong>4) </strong>Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.  <strong>5) </strong>They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.  <strong>6) </strong>We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.  <strong>7) </strong>Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.  <strong>8) </strong>He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.</em></p></li></ul><p>I had to go through this chapter a few times to straighten out all the nots ;-). Here is my brief overview: </p><ul><li><p>all that is &#8220;Not God&#8221; = antichrist</p></li><li><p>if One is of God, One is greater than what is of this world</p></li><li><p>They are of the world, possessing the spirit of antichrist, and they are heard by the world</p></li><li><p>God = Love</p></li><li><p>we that choose to love one another are born of God, and thus know God, and he knows and hears us</p></li><li><p>lastly, <em>ONLY FOR THE WORDY FREAKS, that eighth verse is a fun one: &#8220;He that loveth not  -  knoweth  -  not God&#8221;   - OR -  &#8220;He that loveth  -  not knoweth  -  not God&#8221; ;-) (that is a sign of brilliant writing, when you can interpret the words differently and you still end up at the same place - same words, two different sentences, same meaning, wow!)</em></p></li></ul><p></p><div><hr></div><p></p><h4>Wipe the slate, </h4><h3>                   Balance the ledger</h3><p></p><p>For those of you who are familiar with &#8220;Zest&#8221;, a brand of hand and body soap made popular in the 70&#8217;s, in Canada at least, by the advert jingle &#8220;<em>Zestfully clean</em>&#8221;, it was bubbles of saliva and Zest that were streaming down my four year old chin on that fateful day.  The memory for me concretized the significance of how wrong it was to tell a lie, that trust, was not something to be trifled with.  What is lacking from my little cleaning <em>vignette, </em>is my repentance.  To make this story, reality actually, a full circle and to redeem the trust of my Mother, I would have had to repent to her, and beg that her trust in me be repurchased by my performance in repentance and future adherence to her law.  I did not know this, and perhaps it is possible that even my Mother did not know this at that time.  </p><p>By and through Christ, we can reunite with The Father.  But ONLY if the slate is wiped and the ledger is balanced.  With sin, a debt to be paid is created, even if Christ&#8217;s sacrifice pre - paid any and all future debts of man.  How is this you ask?  Well, &#8220;there&#8217;s the Devil to pay&#8221;, &#8220;Give the Devil his due&#8221;.  &#8220;Not God&#8221; is the creditor holding the note that is due, upon One&#8217;s sin.  If Christ&#8217;s payment was in force and all debts were pre - settled, before they occurred, then it would matter not what One did in this life, or choices One made that caused harm to One another or even God.  We would all be on &#8220;the good ship lollipop&#8221; sailing and singing our way to reuniting with the Father.  Alas, I do not believe it to be so.  We must do our part, to gain the use of, the slate eraser or the balancing entry to zero the account of our sins.  It has been given as the greatest gift of all, by the life and final atonement for all sin and debt, by The Father.  But, One must choose, to love, to submit to God and Christ.  It is the only way!  In so doing, One repents for their sin, begs for forgiveness, accepts God&#8217;s love through Christ and thus the entry to balance the account(s) is released from escrow.  Now, I know this earning redemption thing gets murky fast.  I can&#8217;t see it any other way.  The deal has been struck, perform for God, or all else will be for &#8220;Not God&#8221;.</p><ul><li><p><em>Redemption in escrow</em></p><ul><li><p><em>escrow<strong>: </strong>an agreement between two people or organizations in which money or property is kept by a third person or organization until a particular condition is met</em>; <em>Cambridge Dictionary Online</em></p></li><li><p><em>In Mortgages and Banking in Canada, the term escrow is not used.  When deals are being done, and debt notes are being moved around.  The Bar Association of Canada is required to participate.  A Lawyer, holds the debt notes (the money), in &#8220;Trust&#8221;, and moves it to the other parties through other Lawyers and back to the Banks.  So if redemption is held in escrow, or in &#8220;Trust&#8221;, it exists and it is yours but One doesn&#8217;t have it.  It is being held in limbo until One performs as per the contract/agreement.  </em></p></li></ul></li></ul><p>There is love  &#8212;  and there are lies.  There is truth  &#8212;  and there is fiction.  For reunification with the Father we must choose to accept the offer on the table that is Jesus Christ as One&#8217;s saviour and perform in agreement with that offer through repentance and following his commands; chiefly to live in love.  For the offer of being bound to this world as a &#8220;person&#8221;; submitting Oneself to the requirement to put on the yoke of slavery to the note holders, again One chooses to accept the terms of the offer by One&#8217;s performance.  I have said before that One will choose a master, the One to whom One submits, one way or another.  Money, fame, power, love, title, pride, family, faith etc.  You will yoke yourself to a master and you will work for it &#8216;til you breathe your last breath.  No matter what One says or autographs, it will be your performance which determines which agreement you will be bound to.  Choose wisely.</p><p></p><ul><li><p><code>The note being called by the creditor, &#8220;Not God&#8221;, holds One in a mort - gage, a death pledge.  This means that without the debt paid, by the redeemer, one is held in debtor&#8217;s prison here on earth existing along with the rest of the walking dead, the &#8220;not alive&#8221;.  For to be alive, one must choose God, accept the offer of redemption , and walk in His ordinances and thus re - unite with The Father.  </code></p></li><li><p><code>&#8220;He will come again to judge the quick and the Dead&#8221; (the living and the dead) from the Apostles Creed.</code></p><ul><li><p><em>I know that more commonly this reference (&#8220;quick and the dead&#8221;) is to those who had previously passed and those that are alive at the time of Jesus&#8217; return.  I ask you to consider this alternative view.  That view being, that there are those who choose love and life/the quick, and those that choose not love, and are the dead.</em></p></li></ul></li></ul><div><hr></div><p>Have it good,</p><p></p><p>Arlen</p><p>P.S. In preparing this article, I did a search online for images of the opening day of Southgate Mall, August 12, 1970.  When this photo came up, my chin hit the floor.  Although I can&#8217;t be absolutely certain of this, it appears that the picture with the boy by the fountains;  the one to the right out by himself, is either me or my doppelganger. I sent the pic to my sister the eyewitness, and she concurs.  It appears now that it was not just the two eyewitnesses but the whole City of Edmonton that were witnesses to my crime, as this photo appeared in the Edmonton Journal ;-)</p><div

Cynthia</figcaption></figure></div><div><hr></div><p>Another thank you to Richard Vobes, &#8220;<a href="https://rumble.com/c/RichardVobes">The Bald Explorer</a>&#8221;, this link takes you to his channel on Rumble.  Yesterday, I watched his video &#8220;<a href="https://rumble.com/v2ymwq3-laugh-at-them.html">Laugh at them</a>&#8221; , where he describes an idea of ignoring, or poking fun, at those who would have their way with us with a New World Order, One World Government, CBDCs, and identity chips embedded under our skin.  He goes on to say, that the &#8220;contract&#8221; which They believe to have formed with each such an One is not valid or enforceable as it does not have One&#8217;s wet ink signature, and that we, each such an One, were not informed as to the contents and details of said agreements.  Although this is partially true, there is a critical element to the Law of God, Natural Law, and Contract Law which it seems Richard is not aware of or has yet to consider.  This is in no way a criticism of Richard, his work at bringing things to the consciousness of the ordinary man is tremendous!  And I thank him, as I have before for that work.  Have no doubt Richard, and you dear reader, the concept that I delve into now is at once, nonsensical and absolute truth.</p><div><hr></div><h4> Setting the scene:</h4><p>One has grown up, found a partner, bought a house (or at least lives in one), has a child or two, and what comes next?  To get a puppy of course!!  [ I lean heavily on my experience with dogs, as I have had them all of my life and they have taught me so much ].  So the puppy is brought home, everyone is so excited at the new little furry addition, especially the puppy, and he pees on the kitchen floor, as new puppies will.  One watches a YouTube video on how to housetrain a puppy to do his business outside - a crate is bought, a mere few days of training, and he&#8217;s making a mess of your back lawn.  So much better than the kitchen floor!</p><p>The puppy grows larger and has developed a bad habit of nipping, sometimes out of fear and sometimes attempting to play.  Dogs do this as a part of their regular language and communication.  If you have ever witnessed two large dogs who know each other, and really get into a fun wrestling match; One would think stitches and chunks of dog all about the yard would be in the near future!  However, that is dog to dog playing and establishing pecking order.  When your dog bites/nips you or your child what happens next is the topic of this post.</p><div><hr></div><p></p><div><hr></div><h4>Agreement - by PERFORMANCE:</h4><p>I have outlined the levels of agreement in several previous posts, I restate and elaborate below:</p><ul><li><p>Lowest level, least enforceable:</p><ul><li><p><code>VERBAL agreement or contract</code></p><ul><li><p>words are spoken, understandings are established</p></li><li><p>very difficult to enforce as memory is the only record</p></li><li><p>differences of opinion on who meant what and what exactly was said by whom and in what context etc., create conflict and confusion (&#8220;I never agreed to that and you never said that&#8230;&#8221;)</p><p></p></li></ul></li></ul></li></ul><ul><li><p>Mid level, what is fought over in almost every court case:</p><ul><li><p><code>WRITTEN agreement or contract</code></p><ul><li><p>words are written, specifics are outlined, parties, duties and obligations are noted, initialed and signed</p></li><li><p>this comprises all &#8220;Statue Law and Codes&#8221;</p></li><li><p>less difficult to enforce at law, still many occasions for lack of clarity and misunderstandings, hence the often prolonged battle in court</p></li><li><p>things which are normally &#8220;un&#8221;lawful can be written into statute and code, or any contract, to become enforceable - ie: &#8220;by entering this agreement you agree to pay me a fee and give me title to your car with no compensation or payment to you whatsoever, and that I will then be able to tell you how to drive &#8220;the car&#8221; and within which, prescribed, by me, limitations and restrictions, which you further agree to pay me fees and penalties for each breech of those limitations and restrictions, which, by the way, I can add too or change at any time&#8221;</p></li><li><p>or :  &#8220;as a Citizen and Person under the authority of this Government/Health Department, it is required that, for anyone who wishes to continue freedom of movement and association, MUST prove health status/Vaccine &#8230; by means of digital chip ID or other acceptable means defined by us &#8230;&#8221;</p></li><li><p>these Statutes and Codes are written by AUTHORITIES and it is presumed that every &#8220;Citizen and Person&#8221; will abide by same, should you ask where your agreement to the above Statute Code resides? &#8212; keep reading</p><p></p></li></ul></li></ul></li><li><p>Highest level (in this level of existence and consciousness) and most enforceable in court:</p><ul><li><p><code>PERFORMANCE in agreement and contract</code></p><ul><li><p>have you ever heard &#8220;actions speak louder than words&#8221;?, in this case either spoken or written</p></li><li><p>One Registers their vehicle and puts a plate/tag on it, then drives about &#8220;holding&#8221; the Driver&#8217;s Permit, bringing said Person/driver and Motor Vehicle under the authority of the AUTHORITIES by such an One&#8217;s performance, the applying for and acceptance of said permits and tags, the holding of Permit and display of Plate/Tag, and performing in agreement to contract, by providing said documents whenever any such registration or license/permit is asked to be presented to a representative of said AUTHORITIES</p><ul><li><p><em>this is the normal procedure of a road side stop, the Policeman asks for your &#8220;documents&#8221;, and by providing them to him, One is performing as per the contract, confirming that One is acting as and for the PERSON licensed, insured, and registered</em> </p></li></ul></li><li><p>One receives in their mailbox a letter with a NAME (Registered Corporate Name, see my post &#8220; #2 <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/the-art-of-be-ing?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">The Art of BE - ing</a>&#8221; and &#8220;#10 <a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/terms-and-conditions?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">Terms and Conditions</a>&#8221; if you are unclear of what that means) on it and they &#8220;accept&#8221; it by keeping it and opening it, Congratulations!, you performed as the Citizen/Person</p></li><li><p>One&#8217;s performance trumps all other forms of contract/agreement, ie: once One is engaged in an agreement/contract, and then performs contrary to the contract, then the <strong>contract is broken</strong> by the performance contrary to the agreement &#8212; no new writings or signings are required</p></li><li><p>if One steals their neighbour&#8217;s tractor and has it parked in his barn and writes a statement with a red thumbprint at the bottom and a stamp in the top right corner of both sides of the document signed through and dated that states that he is not a thief and that he does not have his neighbours tractor and submits it to anyone who might care to see it  -  he remains  -  a tractor rustler, regardless of writings or spoken words </p></li><li><p>it is always, and has always been, that performance is King, it is what the Bible is all about</p></li></ul></li></ul><p></p></li></ul><div><hr></div><p></p><div><hr></div><h4>My, what sharp teeth you have !</h4><p>Whether your puppy is trying to communicate, in the language Doglish; that he is wanting to play wrestle with you, or is attempting to dominate you and question your authority, and gives you that little nip or bite, what One does at this point is of utmost importance.  If One does nothing, as the teeth are on, or in, your skin - One is making an agreement with the dog that it can bite you when it wants, for whatever reason.  This is <strong>not</strong> a legal statement.  It is <strong>not</strong> Statute or Code.  It is <strong>not</strong> God&#8217;s Law.  It <strong>is</strong> the Law of Nature.  It is called &#8220;acquiescence&#8221;, defined as : <code>passive acceptance or submission : the act of acquiescing or the state of being acquiescent.</code>  It is your performance that creates this agreement.  To not act in disagreement, is to agree.  It becomes the performance of acquiescence - acceptance and submission.  When bitten, One must act in disagreement!  Period!  Full STOP!    This is not fair or negotiable, it is not nice or easy, it is not interpreted in Law, it is everywhere, everyday, and it is truth.  This is the nonsensical element, someone or something appears before you, makes you an offer to contract (like your little puppy), the someone or something performs their side of the contract/agreement, and then, if One does nothing, does not disagree, then it is presumed or assumed that there is agreement between the parties.  </p><ul><li><p><em>To be clear, of course there are exceptions to what I have laid out above.  In contract/maritime law (the courts), the party presenting the offer must have cause to expect or demand a meeting of the minds or some kind of past record of relationship having to do with the subject matter of the proposed agreement.  ie: Someone previously unknown to you, comes and moves your doormat to the public sidewalk and wipes his muddy boots on it.  Even if you had not disagreed with the action and for a time had acquiesced, you could make demand for him to return your door mat clean, as you have no agreement with him and that he had stolen and soiled your door mat.</em></p></li></ul><p>When I am training a dog, or a horse, or a chicken, I attempt to speak to them in their language, or at least what I think it may sound or be like.  I have yet to be told by any of my animals that I speak with a funny accent, but be certain of this, I speak with the accent of man.  Again, not masculine but genus.  I do my best with my limitations of only two legs, versus four legs and superior speed or strength, or even wings perhaps, to speak in the language that is easiest for my animal friend to understand.  In many cases, a dog only requires a brief but firm snap of some kind, akin to the nip or bite  that they are testing you with, a tap on the nose and a harsh grunt or NO(!), will let them know that I disagree with their behaviour.  Horses tend to be even more sensitive and something so subtle as a shift in body language can send the appropriate signal.  That same sensitive body language reading horse, can sometimes require the quickest hardest kick that I can manage to get the necessary message through, which by the way, is also in his vocabulary!  But like the T-shirt says, &#8220;NO means NO&#8221;, let there be no confusion on these issues.  A biting dog will become a euthanized dog.  A misbehaving horse can cause broken bones or worse, and likely end up at the glue factory.  That Natural Law of acquiescence is what the whole shebang, the Legal Fictions, stand upon.</p><div><hr></div><p></p><div><hr></div><h4>Nonsensical and absolute truth?</h4><p>It seems a pretty big jump to go from animal husbandry to tomes of Government  enactments, decrees, regulations, jurisprudence, ratifications, statutes, codes, etc. etc.  But alas it comes to us, each such an One has the power and authority, the sovereignty, which was endowed by the the Creator to declare whether or not it is ok to get bitten.  I had the misfortune of getting in between two of my Stallions that were working out their pecking order issues.  I was unaware that one was coming up behind me, and as the one in front of me lunged to bite the other one, my upper arm ended up in his mouth.  Now horses are not big-fanged flesh ripping machines, and thank God for that, but when he chomped down, hard, on my arm, I passed out briefly from the pain.  I came to as I hit the ground and my instinct from horsing around in the past was to let that horse know, that this was NEVER going to happen again.  I got up flailing and yelling and I think he figured out that he had had the wrong animals limb between his jaws, and he ran away from me.  Although I wanted to head in to deal with my wounds, I instead headed straight for him and challenged him and made him back up, to yield to me as the Top Hat.  I firmly, and briefly, insured that he knew that NO was NO and that I was the sovereign in this case.  I am responsible for the well being of my animals.  If I had allowed him to think, or assume, that if he bit me it was ok, by accident or otherwise, and that I would yield to him, well &#8230;  , let&#8217;s just say, glue factory.</p><p>Unfortunately, we yield to the AUTHORITIES all too often.  It is our nature as I have discussed before to take on the blame or error so that the ones we consider the Authorities, remain without fault (see my post #5" &#8220;<a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/arlenp/p/in-they-you-trust?r=24v2j3&amp;utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web">In THEY You Trust</a>&#8221; in the section ~ On Innocence transposed).  Taking responsibility is work and risk.  It is easier to put that possibility of getting it wrong and being responsible for harm or error into someone else&#8217;s hands.  As an infant and young child this is a very appropriate behaviour.  Once one comes of age it is expected and presumed that One has self control and self determination.  Again, from the United Nations ICCPR, which 173 Countries have Ratified (from which I have cherry picked some relevant elements):</p><ul><li><p><em>Article 1,1: All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.&nbsp;</em></p></li><li><p><em>Article 3: &#8230; right of men and women to the enjoyment of all civil and political rights set forth in the present Covenant.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Article 16: Everyone shall have the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.</em></p></li><li><p><em>Article 18,1: 1.&nbsp; Everyone shall have the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This right shall include freedom to have or to adopt a religion or belief of his choice, and freedom, either individually or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in worship, observance, practice and teaching.</em></p></li></ul><p>Now my reading of these specifics from the ICCPR generate the following ideas relating to being bitten, and what to do next [ I feel I have made a presumption, and at the risk of being reminded that subtlety is lost on me, I wish to make crystal the meaningfulness of my term &#8220;bitten&#8221; as it pertains to this post.  The puppies bite &#8212; is the same as: <code>the offer made to each such an One to perform and act in the capacity of Citizen or Person which has been offered by the AUTHORITIES</code>]:</p><ol><li><p>Article 1,1 of the ICCPR, the very top of the list! <strong>All peoples; </strong>this does not mean Persons or Citizens, it means people - men and women.  I have covered &#8220;self-determination&#8221; in another post and I will return to it in future.</p></li><li><p>Article 3 states that &#8220;men and women . . . enjoyment of all civil and political rights . . .&#8221;.  It does not say that any Person or Citizen will benefit from or have claim to ANY of these Rights!</p></li><li><p>Article 16, One can choose, they have the Right to be recognized as a person, or not.  </p></li><li><p>And 18, &#8220;. . . freedom of thought, conscience and religion."</p></li></ol><p>Let us establish, that it is always presumed by the AUTHORITIES that THEY are interacting with a PERSON, person, Legal Fiction, Corporate Entity, Citizen, etc.  That is the only thing that They have Authority over.  The ICCPR lays down clearly the offer, the bite, in article 16 &#8220;. . . recognition everywhere as a person before the law.&#8221;  Therefore, unless otherwise declared or established, One adheres to this position, person before the law!  As I have previously outlined, CANADA, USA, FRANCE, etc. are all Registered Corporations acting in Bankruptcy (my previous posts explain and detail these points, so if you haven&#8217;t read, . . . ).  ALL the Statute Code is written to govern and apply to the One&#8217;s that are within Their jurisdiction, Their employees, Their Citizens, all those that have accepted the bite/offer to act as NAME!  At once, the ICCPR is a golden ticket that gets a free tour of the factory (specifies <strong>peoples/men/women </strong>as the sovereign one that generates &#8220;persons&#8221;) but is also a trap, and these jaws have teeth that will rip and tear.  All the flowery words and privileges that it outlines and &#8220;gives&#8221; to the peoples.  And then that little #16, &#8220;person under the law&#8221;.  If One does not smack it on the nose, change One&#8217;s body language, or make it yield to One&#8217;s sovereignty, it will have its way with you, this benign little &#8220;person&#8221; entity that seems so invisible, insignificant, and makes living in this theatre we call reality so much easier!</p><p>It states clearly within the ICCPR that a man, woman, or people have the authority to choose.  Choose all kinds of things, and that a man, woman, or people possess all kinds of Rights and Freedoms.  It states nowhere in that document that a man or woman can be forced to choose by One&#8217;s Government, as it pertains to the specified Rights and Freedoms at least.  It states clearly, that One is the authority!  The author of One&#8217;s life and way of being.  And again, hey, no problem at all, we (the CORPORATION) accept your status as person under the law by your acquiescence and performance.  No need to initial and sign anywhere - anytime - EVER!</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

That is to say, that One did not wait for all the points or evidence or elements to be revealed before One comes to the sum, the total of the information, to form the position.

A-ssume means that the position taken, is opposite to whatever the sum of the points or evidence or elements that are revealed, and the sum total would describe. So if you stand in the Court saying and doing everything you can to determine that you appear as a man, outside the jurisdiction of the statute/code/CORPORATE, and in fact &#8220;present&#8221; as a live breathing being, the Judge will Assume, that you are there acting as and for the NAME. Which is opposite to the sum total of the points, evidence, or any other elements to describe who or what you are. In the &#8220;Court&#8221; situation, if One allows the assumption to prevail, then One has submitted to the Court and will be heard as NAME/PERSON.</code></p></li></ul><p></p><div><hr></div><p>As I was putting the finishing touches on this first version of the <strong>ArlenP Glossary of Terms and Phrase</strong>, Cynthia suggested that I add the &#8220;patriot&#8221; portion of Chapter 9, &#8220;The Sermon&#8221; from Moby Dick.  Almost every night, as we lay in bed winding down our day, I read from the KJV Bible that Cynthia&#8217;s Grandfather, a seeming non-believer, gave us as a wedding gift.  We had spent several, and I mean many, similar bedtimes a few years ago, reading through Moby Dick, as neither of us had read it up to that point.  I look forward to a time when I can elaborate on the mastery that is contained within the leaves of that tome, but again, I digress.  </p><p>What you don&#8217;t know, is that I have a muse.  You may have figured, that Cynthia &#8216;figures&#8217; large, in the ideas, composition, organization, creative layout, proofreading and editing, etc. of these posts, as I mention her often.  To have been provided by The Father a partner, that is yoked beside me, pulls up every hill, every load and burden, in every step working to a common goal, to get the job done . . . I can&#8217;t really describe what this means.  I know no other way, as we have been together since we were kids. Again, I digress. </p><p>In this chapter, &#8220;The Sermon&#8221;, the character Father Mapple lays out so clearly and simply the choice to adhere oneself to the trappings of &#8220;this world&#8221;, or, the &#8220;Delight&#8221; that it is to stand in truth, with God.</p><p></p><ul><li><p><strong>&#8220;But oh! shipmates! . . . Delight is to him - a far, far upward, and inward delight - who against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever stands forth his own inexorable self. Delight is to him whose strong arms yet support him, when the ship of this base treacherous world has gone down beneath him. Delight is to him, who gives no quarter in the truth, and kills, burns, and destroys all sin though he pluck it out from under the robes of Senators and Judges. Delight, - top -gallant delight is to him, who acknowledges no law or lord, but the Lord his God, and is only a patriot to heaven. Delight is to him, whom all the waves of the billows of the seas of the boisterous mob can never shake from this sure Keel of the Ages. And eternal delight and deliciousness will be his, who coming to lay him down, can say with his final breath - O Father! - chiefly known to me by Thy rod - mortal or immortal, here I die. I have striven to be Thine, more than to be this world&#8217;s, or mine own . . . "</strong></p></li></ul><p></p><div><hr></div><p><em>All of this talk about Statutes, status, Persons, Legal Fictions, Corporate entities, etc., is for the most part boring and tedious. It has come to my awareness that, not concerning One&#8217;s self with all of this, is a possibility.  I believe a successful outcome from this position, to be unconcerned that is, could only occur if One had managed to NOT engage with the AUTHORITIES, ie: no Birth Certificate, no Bank Account, no SSN/SIN (tax number), to have not participated in what has become a modern normal life whatsoever.  As this seems impossible, in my opinion, and to the degree that each of us has engaged, knowingly or not, we have performed and are a party to an agreement/contract.  { I know of two children, who remain entirely outside of these agreements, their parents are aware of what is going on, and I look forward to seeing how it might play out for these two fine boys as they engage in their world of the real.}  I find it helpful to establish, both publicly and internally within my own consciousness, my position in relationship to the Corporate Fiction whose name is related to mine.  This notion fits in the &#8220;Art of War&#8221; by Sun Tzu, knowing Ones self and knowing Ones enemy.  In this case, the enemy is neither the &#8220;NAME/CORPORATE fiction&#8221; nor the rich and powerful families that seem to be at the top, it is their Master, the Father of Lies, the One who converts and inverts all things good, to spoil them.  </em></p><p></p><div><hr></div><p>Have it good,</p><p></p><p>Arlen</p><p></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/subscribe"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://arlenp.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share Arlen&#8217;s Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/arlenp.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share Arlen&#8217;s Substack</span></a></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
