What is Sovereignty? Why is it Important? How do You Earn it? | Debunking False Sovereignty

Sunday, November 19, 2017 By Conscious Optimist 11 Comments

by Conscious Optimist,

There are many definitions of “sovereign” floating around on the web. Some view it as a title of nobility for a monarch, such as a king or a queen. Others contend that we’re sovereign by default: we simply must claim it and that’s it. According to yet many others, sovereignty seems to mean that one can do whatever one wants at any time; that rules and the law don’t apply to them; that all forms of hierarchy are somehow unjustified and evil, and that any system of justice or law, or government is also inherently evil.

So what is the correct definition?  Please allow me to guide you into a comprehension of the concept, first by way of showing you what sovereignty is not, so that you can come to better understand what it really is. This is vitally important because ultimately, you, yes you, have a role to play in restoring the rule of law by becoming a true sovereign. 


The word sovereignty indeed means many things to many people.  And there are certainly more than enough folks out there willing to claim themselves as “sovereign” for any number of well-intentioned reasons.  For example, some people, usually following a legal/law guru, understandably, want to get out of a problematic legal situation by transcending it through claimed “sovereign” status; others feel that the world owes them a high-ranking position at law simply because they exist. But without the competence to support your claim, it is null and void, even if it was made to the Secretary of State or via the UCC. And the powers that be encourage these fallacious actions because it gives their claims to power more weight. 

In such cases, these false sovereigns muddy the waters for the people, confusing those trying to understand what sovereignty really is and how it can benefit humankind. What’s worse, the powers that be use encourage incorrect and misguided claims of sovereignty so they can paint all would-be freedom lovers as irresponsible fools with antisocial tendencies. Consider this statement from the Southern Poverty Law Center regarding sovereign citizens. 

The strange subculture of the sovereign citizens movement, whose adherents hold truly bizarre, complex antigovernment beliefs, has been growing at a fast pace since the late 2000s. Sovereigns believe that they — not judges, juries, law enforcement or elected officials — get to decide which laws to obey and which to ignore, and they don’t think they should have to pay taxes. Sovereigns are clogging up the courts with indecipherable filings and when cornered, many of them lash out in rage, frustration and, in the most extreme cases, acts of deadly violence, usually directed against government officials. In May 2010, for example, a father-son team of sovereigns murdered two police officers with an assault rifle when they were pulled over on the interstate while traveling through West Memphis, Ark. (source)

As if the issue of asserting our freedoms in a lawful manner wasn’t complicated enough, half-cocked “sovereigns,” often led by false sovereignty guru’s online, make anyone declaring their lawful rights seem crazy. Freedom is quickly being rebranded by the powers that be, via various social engineering programs, as nothing more than a childish desire by a rabble of irresponsible people who want to ignore laws and do whatever they want. But to those who understand what true sovereignty is, nothing could be further from the truth. 

So for the sake of the freedom of all people and the great work of our age to regain our truly sovereign status in law and society, a discussion about what a true sovereign is will be most helpful. 
You might be wondering: “Well aren’t you claiming to be a guru by telling us what a sovereign is or is not? Where does your definition of sovereignty come from, and why should we believe you?”
Let me say, you shouldn’t believe me, not blindly. I’m not asking you to believe me because I am an authority in law, I’m asking you to think about what I am saying, and draw your own conclusions.  If my knowledge is accurate, it should be obvious to those who take the time to verify via their own research.  And if it isn’t accurate (which is certainly possible) please share as much so as a community we can have the best information possible. These aren’t the words of a false guru who wants blind obedience. 
Image Source.
Where Does This Information Come From?
As a fellow truth-seeker and freedom-lover, I have spent a great deal of time and energy reviewing the law, sources of lawful research (such as official and alternative sources of history and philosophy in the freedom movement) as well as thinking carefully and honestly about everything I’ve uncovered. In other words, my knowledge doesn’t come from an external authority, it was built from within, as a result of careful study and discernment. 
I will present my findings in a simple fashion, but I don’t want you to blindly accept what is offered. I encourage you to think carefully about the arguments presented herein, and of course, to do your own research. If you think you have a better argument, then please share it in the comments. In law, like in science, the best theory or argument is accepted as fact (for the time being), not a person with a bigger stick or certificate of authority. In this sense, we’re all in the pursuit of the knowledge of sovereignty together. 

Let’s cut to the chase—a sovereign is, first a custodian of the truth, the law, and the rights of others in the realm. Unless you live an honorable and solution-oriented life for your world, you cannot describe yourself as sovereign.  And we’ll elaborate on this statement in great detail below. 

Disclaimer
Now, I apologize to everyone I’m about to offend, but the following needs to be said: merely existing does not make you sovereign in law.  

I can assure readers that the last thing a sovereign does is proclaim him or herself “sovereign” without having first earned the title through diligence, discipline, the pursuit of a comprehensively moral and constructive existence.  That said, it should also be understood that we each have the potential to be sovereign if we’re willing to do the work it takes to master ourselves and act within that mastery to benefit others. 

So let me be clear that this article is written in response to the widespread misuse of the word and concept of “sovereignty” within the truth movement.  

The legal concept of sovereignty is a separate matter that this article does not discuss in detail—though everything herein is important to know for those looking for “legal” remedies.  The misuse of the concept of “sovereignty” in legal matters almost always causes one more harm than good, as will be detailed below. 

As an aside, it also needs to be said, in no uncertain terms, that the contents of this article should not be construed as “legal advice.”  No—instead, this is about research, education, and empowering ourselves, which is altogether different from offering legal advice. This is my own personal take on the matter, based on years and years worth of research, contemplation, and nothing more.

Problems Asserting Sovereignty in Legal Matters

The reason why asserting sovereignty in a legal matter is problematic is primarily because the existing legal system is essentially an elaborate fraud that has co-opted valid lawful ideas, like sovereignty—preventing the people from using these good ideas to their advantage. Those in the legal system, such as lawyers, judges, and clerks, generally aren’t taught about true law; therefore, asserting your sovereign status to the system often results in more confusion and even greater prosecution.

Given that there is no rule of law, it is still essential to take the time to learn what real sovereignty is and how it can be used to improve your life.

Again, I can’t explain the whole legal and lawful situation in this article, but suffice it to say, the world needs real sovereigns—those who take the time to learn the law, act with honor, harmlessness, and in defense of the rights of others—so that the rule of law and true justice can finally be restored to our darkened world.

I know for a fact that many people who follow online truth/sovereignty gurus are mostly good people.  

Unfortunately, I also know for a fact that a great many “law or freeman” movements out there are fraudulent, dangerous and promote false and/or incomplete information to many thousands of desperate people.  

Indeed, one of the most destructive false-narratives promoted by these groups is the idea that you’re “sovereign” because you exist—that somehow, merely being born has imparted some magical esoteric, vaguely defined “right” to wield incredible decision-making power over the law and society in which you live.  Some have even suggested that such lunacy is “the secret” to knowing how to deal with the legal system.

But as will be revealed, sovereignty is a status attained by hard work and dedication, not unlike the mastering of any other skill such as music, art, science, philosophy, or farming. If it isn’t reasonable to expect you can be a master blacksmith because you said so, then it should be easy to understand why sovereignty isn’t a frivolous label. 

The purpose of this article is to provide a counter-narrative designed to undo the above psy-op—which is the belief that we can get out of legal trouble by saying the words “I am sovereign” in court.  Again, this is not a legal discussion nor is it legal advice.
A suggestion I’d like to offer is to be extremely skeptical regarding the far-fetched promises sold to you by internet gurus.  Please, please, please recognize that there is no simple way to convey detailed “legal know-how” in bite-sized chunks without comprehensive study to go with said chunks. Nor are there any silver bullets that will solve any and all of our problems with one fell swoop.  There is no sense in jumping off “legal cliffs” because a charismatic online figure said that it would work; and I know firsthand, having been duped by such con artists in the past myself.

The Historical Misuse of Sovereignty 

What should be clear at this stage is that a true sovereign is the very best among us, one who has knowledge and wisdom, using that power for the benefit of all. A true sovereign recognizes that the people are not their subjects, they are equals in sovereign potential. And that it is the duty of that true sovereign to slowly and carefully educate the people so they can one day be sovereigns in their own right. Keeping this in mind, we’ll now briefly examine contemporary governments with the aim of demonstrating that they too misuse the term. 

From a social point of view, it could be superficially believed that a “sovereign” is one who influences a society or civilization via a claim of authority—someone who wields power that can be used to direct large groups of people.  Usually, such “sovereigns” use genealogies to assert they have a “divine right to rule” by tracing their lineage to some historical figure, like Jesus, Mohammad, David, and so on. But this is not a sufficient definition of what makes a true sovereign, as birthright might make someone an influential by virtue of culture, but sovereignty status is only valid by virtue of what they do with said influence—namely, acting with honor to defend the rights of all people. A true sovereign is the embodiment of true law, justice, fairness, morality, and ethics—leading the people into greater states of freedom by their example.

When you ask the average person to cite examples of a sovereign they might answer: the Queen of England or King of Morocco—actual monarchs.  But these so-called figures are more akin to tyrants than true sovereigns, mainly because they abuse their influence and promote ignorance in the people to maintain their power; they do not embody true law. 

From an international law perspective, nations are considered sovereign because they oversee the affairs of a people, maintain records (registers) and provide a venue for justice (courts and congress). But again, the same logic applies here because every nation on earth also seeks to oppress the freedoms of their people—in one form or another—which is the antithesis of what a true sovereign does. 

Side note: almost every nation on earth is a registered corporation that draws its legal authority from the Roman Curia, the ecclesiastical laws of the Holy See or Vatican. Recall that the Vatican claimed that all people are completely incapable of using their rights, and as such, “salvaged” these rights and placed them in express trusts, which later became the basis of modern day governmental structures. Given that your average person doesn’t have a clue about the law or how to manage their rights in honor, this is sadly a fairly valid claim. How can we use something responsibly when we don’t know it exists? This means that all nations trace their legal authority back to the Vatican, and as such, all nations also presume the people are insane, irresponsible, dead things with no rights—no better than cattle. This is one reason why our inalienable rights under natural law become statutory privileges within any legal system. And this also underscores why gaining competence via knowledge in law is of prime importance. Without knowledge of law and the wisdom to use your rights in trust and honor, any claim of sovereignty is only an empty gesture—and the powers that be know it.

Given the conduct of monarchies and so-called sovereign nations, it should be clear to you that even within well established legal circles, the term sovereignty has been watered down. The fact is the knowledge of what a true sovereign is may be one of the biggest secrets on earth. As you will discover, this is because if people took developing their sovereignty seriously, the powers that be would be rendered obsolete in short order. 

So what makes a true sovereign? 

As was mentioned briefly above, a sovereign is one who conducts all their affairs with honor, in trust, and without harm—whether with a fellow sovereign or a nefarious party, like a tyrannical government. They have spent time learning as much as they can, especially about how to maintain honest, supportive, and trustworthy relationships with others and the environment—embodying true law. And finally, a sovereign uses their knowledge in a moral and ethical fashion for the benefit of others. 

The truth is a sovereign’s guide and they strive to honor it with every fiber of their being. 

A Sovereign proactively seeks solutions to problems in his or her “kingdom”— who always comes up with a solution or at least a plan for acquiring a solution when a problem befalls their sphere. They are optimistic, not cynical. They recognize that any situation can be made better with dedication to the truth, wise planning, and honorable cooperation. 

A Sovereign attains such status only through the voluntary adoption of massive responsibility on their part, in the development of self-mastery for the state of their “kingdom.”  One must get their own affairs in order to the extent that one can lend time, energy and attention beyond the upkeep of their life and house. And although one need not be omniscient, one must be at least be comprehensively aware of the nature and origin of societal breakdown, and one must be diligent and methodical in attending to societal repair.  The life of a sovereign is a life of complete and unwavering service to ALL.

How Can We Become Sovereign? 
Again, there is no “silver-bullet recipe” of paperwork, magic ritual, or god-like snap of the fingers that makes someone sovereign—who hasn’t already qualified themselves beforehand via dedication.  

In essence, when you take responsibility, in all ways that you reasonably can, you’re on the road to sovereignty.  Without accepting complete responsibility and liability for your actions, there is no sovereignty. Once you make that choice, life becomes a school and you become a detective—you’re constantly seeking to realize the ideals and principals of sovereignty, reflecting on your experience to see how you can improve and further your mastery. In this sense, sovereignty is a philosophy of life (a philosophy of personal excellence and social benevolence) just as much as it is a fancy title that affords one legal or lawful powers.

Sovereign ideals are important to understand because they help guide our behavior and motivations. Without a clear definition of sovereignty in mind—without a destination and a map to get there—we can’t change ourselves over time to become more sovereign. 

This is mainly because sovereignty is a “razor’s edge” path or a high and lofty goal, requiring incredible dedication—not unlike mastering painting or the piano. This is made evident by the stringent qualifications needed of one who seeks it. Similarly, playing a piece of music requires precision and skill, where one mistake can ruin a whole composition. In the same way, sovereignty requires vigilant dedication, as one infraction or mistake can cause a dishonor that can only be restored by an act of restitution. A benevolent king, queen, or ruler can tarnish their entire legacy by a single act of tyranny. 

Attributes and Traits of Sovereigns

As you read the following incomplete list of character traits of a sovereign, it will likely become clear that spiritual masters throughout history are, for the most part, the meta-model or blueprint for the sovereign individual.  Hence, many governments attempt to trace their right to rule to a spiritual figure, like all Christian nations. Virtues are also a good example of the characteristics of a sovereign, although certain lists are not perfect. 

  1. Sovereigns honor free will—they work with others honestly to negotiate clear and transparent agreements.  
  2. Sovereigns admit their mistakes, while also defending the truth with compassion, harmlessness, and vigilance.  
  3. Sovereigns seek the truth at all times, regardless of personal temptations or social pressures. 
  4. Sovereigns are humble in all conceivable ways, while also demonstrating courage.  
  5. Sovereigns always presume innocence—they never pre-judge a claim, information, a situation or person. 
  6. Sovereigns gain key knowledge and understanding (as much as possible) before taking an action—they gain control of their impulses that can lead to the harm of others.  
  7. Sovereigns maintain clear records of all their activities and provide ample notice to others, before taking action, to ensure free will is honored. 
  8. Sovereigns give others the benefit of the doubt and encourage the sovereignty (good faith and clean hands) in others, even when others have demonstrated malevolence—sovereigns practice forgiveness. However, they are not foolish or unwise when dishonor has been discovered in another.
  9. Sovereigns defend themselves and others from harm—with force if necessary—but never through open acts of aggression. 
  10. Sovereigns are never the aggressor—they always avoid violence and harm in favor of diplomacy and cooperation—they recognize the crucial importance of free speech. 
  11. Sovereigns will not take advantage of others—the notion of voluntary slavery is abhorrent to sovereigns.   
  12. Sovereigns listen honestly and fairly, before issuing judgement—and always keep an open mind so as to gain more knowledge for reevaluation of past conclusions made. 
  13. Sovereigns never make excuses, tell lies, or hide the truth to avoid justice from their wrongdoing—although they clearly reveal the truth about what happened in defense of the truth. 
  14. Sovereigns proactively apologize, pay recompense, or sacrifice ego and prestige when they have made a mistake or done harm. They always seek to restore trust, honor, and fellowship, even with their “enemies.”
  15. Sovereigns never claim victim status (avoiding responsibility by citing an external cause), while also recognizing that they didn’t necessarily create a harmful situation. 
  16. Sovereigns defend the rights of all people, even those who have harmed or caused damage to the sovereign or others. 
  17. Sovereigns never use excessive force, threats of violence or coercion to get their way. They would rather abandon a pursuit to avoid harming others. 
In summary, a sovereign has sacrificed their personal time in the moment for the purpose of gaining knowledge and wisdom so they can be the best they can be in any situation. 

Image Source. A true sovereign doesn’t cling to power they willingly give power to others so they can rise to the same status.

They honestly seek to help others through the application of the truth (wisdom), and as such, sovereigns gain more knowledge over time. 
They dedicate themselves to self-mastery (gaining competence) through work, self-reflection, and self-discipline (building wisdom), qualifying them to help others to do the same.
And most importantly, a sovereign takes a “vow of poverty” or recognizes that wealth beyond what can be reasonably used is an offense to a progressively moral and benevolent society; a sovereign would never horde goods or refuse to offer services for selfish gain or aggrandizement.  They really want to help others and dedicate their lives to that purpose, shedding egocentric desires so they can be impartial ministers to all life. They want the highest and best good for all.

All of the aforementioned qualities of sovereignty were discovered by researching the true foundations of law. And although it doesn’t appear this way on the surface, the legal system actually acknowledges these tenets and has built the hidden side of the legal system around them, namely the Trust/Canon/Ecclesiastical aspect of law. 

This is one reason why the powers that be had to declare every man, woman, and child on earth an insane and irresponsible ward of the state because that presumption labels us incompetent—the antithesis of sovereignty. If we act that way, it proves their claim and gives them power. Hence, gaining a clear understanding of sovereignty is essential, so we can act as such and thereby dispel their presumption of our incompetence. 

If one takes a moment to consider these qualities of character, it should be clear that a true sovereign is an ideal man or woman. And as was suggested earlier, various religious figures can embody these qualities, like Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and so on. Whether or not these figures existed doesn’t matter—we can reflect on the stories like a child reflects on a fable, acquiring knowledge in the process.

On Authority and Social Cohesion
It is not the cleverness of this or that set of laws and rules alone that makes a coherent (or just) civilization; rather, it is the character of the people that make up said civilization, which determines the level of coherence (prosperity) or dissonance (hardship) it experiences.  

Within this framework, a great challenge is placed at the feet of any who would call themselves “sovereign”: how does one operate a truly moral society?  How does one acquire and wield power for the benefit of many?  What makes an honorable and effective problem solver and leader? 

I am not talking about coercion or ad-hoc, top-down forms of pseudo-authority when I use the word “sovereign” to describe benevolent governance.  Consider that every nation on earth has a top-down power structure, where the state uses threats and fines to coerce the citizens into obedience—which can be understood by the fact nations presume citizens are incompetent.  In contrast, the essence of sovereignty is to lead by demonstration of your competence in a given area of endeavor.  

Image Source. 

Think about it this way: if someone had played a musical instrument for decades of their life, would you not consider them a bona fide authority on how to play that instrument?  Put another way: If you had the option of taking guitar lessons from a professionally trained musician or a random guy who has never played before, who would choose to be your teacher?  

Obviously, authority, in this sense, rests with the one who is skilled—not the person who makes the biggest claims.  To be even more precise it rests with the one who is skilled in educating others.  

A music teacher doesn’t become a better authority in music because they use intimidation or threats of violence. Similarly, sovereigns have authority because they have real working knowledge (about many things) and can use it effectively and honorably.

When your knowledge, skillset, and ability to work with others becomes comprehensive enough to solve real-world problems—without hurting others in the process—that is the moment you step into true sovereignty.

The Irrevocable Link Between Rights and Responsibility
The connection between rights and responsibilities has become hazy over the years, likely because it’s easier to control people who can’t use their rights responsibly.  

In law, when someone acts with dishonor, when they harm another and avoid justice, when they fail to use their rights responsibility, this is called incompetence, and it is the antithesis of sovereignty. The powers that be encourage us to act irresponsibly so they can support their claims of authority. In light of this, learning how to be truly sovereign is beneficial for yourself and the world.

The reality is, we cannot have rights without the responsibility.  Consider when a group of “activists” take to the street to demand “rights” without the concept of responsibility entering into their discourse or lexicon—are such demands valid without also accepting the responsibility to use them well?

A right is the recognition of capacity—that we can do something—which is usually endorsed by another or society in some way.  Generally speaking, valid or moral rights are actions that do not harm others, as well as actions that are the most beneficial for all involved. 

For example, I benefit from the right to life, and so do others when I do things that they appreciate. The fruit of my labors is enjoyed by others. Another example is the right to free speech, which allows me the benefit of sharing my ideas and engaging with others.  But I have to use this right without harming someone else. And this where responsibility comes in. 

Responsibility means the ability, or more often the duty, to respond or take care of something—an obligation or debt.  In this sense, responsibility is the negative side of the rights and responsibility coin, because we have to do something to restore balance if harm or damage occurs.  For example, if we caused a car accident then we’re responsible for the damage—we have to do something to make things right.

Related A Discussion on Rights — Using Your Rights Wisely is the Key to Personal Freedom and Social Harmony

When one person conveys or transfers rights to another, the person that receives the rights is responsible for using them per the instructions that were given, so long as those instructions are lawful.  For example, if you lend your friend a car, they are responsible for giving it back to you after the specified time has expired, and usually, we ask for it to be returned undamaged.  The positive benefit of using the car (the right of use) is balanced by the negative responsibility (obligation) of using it properly. 


You may think that you have “unlimited” access to the vehicle that is your mind and body, but if you use these things in such a way that results in undue harm upon others, then they have the right to restrain you.  In summation: if you are not willing to approach life in a virtuous, sane, and constructive manner, then others have the right to subdue you—forcefully, if necessary—when your behavior runs the risk of harming innocent bystanders.

This might sound harsh, but it’s essential to understand for those seeking true sovereignty. And it also underscores a key theme: a true sovereign upholds true law, effectively becoming a law enforcement officer, while also protecting the people from tyrannical persons and governments. In this sense, the more people that embody sovereignty the more just, fair, and prosperous our world becomes. 



Defenders of Life, Law, and the Realm

The ability to take actions in the world means that what we do will affect others in some way—our responsibility is to ensure these effects will be as beneficial as possible. 

If we can’t use these powers harmlessly, then a sovereign (a defender of the law and the realm) will take steps to prevent us from harming others. In this sense, one who polices themselves is a true sovereign, recognizing that freedom can’t exist harmoniously without responsibility. In a world populated by sovereigns, everyone is their “brother’s (and sister’s) keeper”—everyone defends the truth, justice, and the rights of others.

A Sovereign not only operates with good intentions but is also required to be diligent, rational, and methodical in their role as custodian.  One who wishes to feed the world but has no knowledge about the underlying causes of poverty and hunger cannot easily achieve their goal.  Therefore, the onus is on the sovereign is to constantly learn and improve their knowledge and skill sets so that they can benefit the world around them.

Image Source.

Can you describe the true causes of poverty?  Do you know how social structures are built and broken, truly?  Can you diagnose the causes of hunger in your community, and are you willing to address them methodically and empirically?  Only if you can answer those questions in the positive, with a coherent argument and evidence, can you begin to imagine yourself as “sovereign” because working knowledge is required to avoid making things worse.  

If you’re thinking “I just ‘go within’ and let my heart tell me the answer and let the details take care of themselves” then this is certainly a good start, but you need more. It isn’t enough to rely on intuition alone because it can be manipulated. Such insights need to be cross-checked against reality, using a logical, empirical process whenever possible. 
How do you know this heartfelt action won’t cause harm? How do you know for certain that your emotions aren’t being manipulated via social engineering and electromagnetic influencing technology? Without conscious analysis and critical thought, any emotionally charged choice is basically blind faith that you know what you’re doing.  But a sovereign goes beyond simple emotional resonance and blind faith, they seek the truth and ask hard questions so as to support their ideas with key knowledge and understanding—holistic consciousness.  A sovereign wants to know, in detail, what the problem is, who is affected, how to solve it and what needs to be done without harming anyone else—all of which requires dedication, investigation, and persistence—not blind faith in your heart.

You need to be comprehensive, accurate and specific with your knowledge (because that’s what responsibility requires). 

It is also very important that you know how to communicate with a wide variety of people—not just those who have been nurtured in the same cultural echo-chamber as you have. It is all too easy for well-intentioned people to set aside the hard work of personal due diligence for easy groupthink answers and ideologies. We need only look at the divide and conquer mayhem sweeping the planet, as well-intentioned people are recruited into quasi-terrorist organizations like Antifa, which justifies all manner of violence in the name of “social justice.”

It was said of Neo, at the end of The Matrix Trilogy that he would fight for the benefit of the world and of all people, not new agers, not conservatives, not liberals, not truthers, but all, period, “to the very last breath.”  Ultimately, this is that attitude you must adopt if you are going to apply the label of “sovereign” to yourself.
You Have a Right to Learn and Grow—Being Sovereign is Hard, and There’s No Shame In Having a Lot to Learn
If you couldn’t answer the above questions then don’t sweat it—the whole point of this article is to help you see that the word sovereign has profound and, some could say, dire implications.  Not everyone is going to be able to achieve all of the above, and that is completely okay. 

Sovereignty is not some quick and easy thing to accomplish in a single afternoon, like earning a metal in a video game.  It’s also not something we mindlessly suffer through, thinking we’ll earn our status even if we haven’t learned anything in the end.  It is a lifelong pursuit, measured by definitive markers of progress, with ever-expanding and increasing degrees of competence, skill, and benevolent power.  It might take you years to make one step forward, or it could take days—but it’s not a race. Don’t look around you to measure your progress against the achievements of others—it is a decidedly self-focused work. The sooner you start the better but don’t beat yourself up if you only make small leaps forward after long times of struggle.

You should never feel bad if you have a lot to do and learn, because, among other things, the act of learning itself is one of the greatest joys there is, and you have a right to experience that joy to the fullest no matter what “stage” of growth you may be going through.  

Living the life of a sovereign is very hard—especially in a world where dishonesty, malevolence, and coercion are endemic. No one has the right to prejudge you for not living up to such high standards.  

Indeed, one of the central tragedies of our modern world is the fact that accurate knowledge and competence have been deliberately robbed from generations of men and women by a parasitic banking-government-prison-complex—effectively orphaning humanity from the wisdom of its forebears.  Our challenges are proportionately greater to the extent that the truth has been hidden from us—yet this does not negate the necessity for finding the truth and living in accordance with it.

Nonetheless, every little bit of healing and repair counts, and that which has been forgotten can be remembered.  We do not need “sovereign status” to contribute vitally to the upliftment of ourselves and our world—and yet, the more we learn, grow and share with others, the more we mutually enable each other to achieve sovereignty, as it has been described herein.
Again, this is not a race—you do not need to become “sovereign” to be a good person or to be happy.  Just please, for the sake of clear communication, so as to not muddy the waters—don’t misuse the word if you’re not prepared to lead a life of intense dedication and egoic sacrifice for the benefit of ALL.

Last Thoughts
As was said in the beginning, this article is specifically meant to undo the toxic notion that sovereignty can be treated like a conceptual free-for-all, because such a notion does not help our world heal but rather appears to give license for all sorts of self-aggrandizement.  Tragically, and most pertinently, it often tricks well-intentioned individuals into behaving in ways that get them into trouble with the law and with society, not to mention giving another reason for the unaware masses to think people in the truth movement are crazy. And finally, our inability to be responsible, sane, rational and compassionate people provides support for claims of authority on the part of the powers that be. 

To many out there, sovereignty means a free pass to do whatever they want. But as was just described, the true meaning of sovereignty is much deeper, more important and sacred. 

The true concept of a sovereign is the ultimate world healing guide for all those who love truth, freedom, justice, and prosperity.  Is it any wonder, then, why the term has been marginalized and diluted?  If even 1% of the population adopted a truly sovereign way of life, arguably the world would change for the better very quickly.

With one sovereign, a man or woman can somewhat protect themselves from oppression. With ten sovereigns, a growing micro-community of wealth and benevolence can be created. With one hundred sovereigns, slow and steady work to restore law and order can begin. With one thousand sovereigns, criminal governments can be held back from doing as much harm as they have in the past. And with one million sovereigns and a culture of sovereignty, we can restore the rule of law, create prosperity for ourselves and the future, and ensure the insidious powers that be never again enslave the people.

We are all in this together. So let’s join forces to heal the planet.

By knowing the hard-core demands that befall the one who calls themselves sovereign, you’ll be able to see through the lies promulgated by fake “sovereignty” gurus—specifically those who would try to convince you that you’re already “sovereign” by virtue of the fact that you are alive and can spell the word in a document or two.  

No amount of UCC1 Financing Statements, notices to the Secretary of State, or claiming of one’s birth certificate will make you sovereign—if you aren’t truly embodying the above-mentioned qualities.  Even more, by having respect for the concept you are that much more empowered to both recognize and embody it.

So please, the next time someone tells you that you are “sovereign” merely because you exist, then ask them: what would you do if someone handed you a billion dollars?
If the person replies back “I’d get a nice yacht” or “I’d buy a futuristic car and giant house”, then you know you’re dealing with a sovereign in name only.
For a true sovereign, an appropriate answer is: “If I had a billion dollars I’d use it to settle my valid needs, while also starting massive restoration programs for the sake of healing our ecosystem and our society after having performed enough research to know for a fact—bypassing all personal prejudice and dogma—that said programs are viable.  These programs would be as omni-comprehensive as possible, taking into account the full spectrum of human and planetary needs.  Furthermore, they would be voluntarily adopted, managed in transparency and in trust, under administrative structures of necessary sufficiency to implement them.”

Any answer less than that is not worthy of a sovereign.

I hope you’ve gained an understanding of what true sovereignty is, and that you can start working toward this high goal right now. 

Remember, you don’t need paperwork to be sovereign—paperwork is only a record of something that already exists in reality. 

Ultimately, the nature of your character makes you sovereign.  So for the sake of a better life for yourself, and a more just and prosperous world for others, take the time to gain competence, knowledge, and wisdom so that all your actions and pursuits are affected with honor, grace, and benevolence for all.

About The Author

Conscious Optimist

I am nothing more than an example of someone who decided to make an honest effort to become accountable to the Truth, and to see what I could do to help improve my life and the conditions of the world beyond myself. One fateful day, roughly a decade ago, I realized that I knew absolutely nothing about the world or myself and decided that this was unacceptable. I began amassing a pile of books on every subject I considered important to the world and to myself. I have been reading, experimenting, and contemplating ever since, having categorically rejected the premise that it is “good enough” for other people to be “smart on my behalf.” Today I possess somewhat extensive knowledge on subjects as diverse as Law, Music, Hypnosis, Ecology, the Occult, Theology, and Politics, and do the best I can to synthesize this knowledge into articles and presentations for the benefit of all knowledge-seekers, self-helpers, and world-healers who may, from time to time, stumble upon my work.

If you’d like to reach me, you can email me at consciousoptimist@gmail.com, though unfortunately I cannot promise I’ll respond since my time is very limited.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at feedback@stillnessinthestorm.com.

    Would really enjoy your site but often when interested
    due to sensitivities of electronics, electric wires and pulses
    I have to print and take other places.
    The ads placed make it hard to read. Material looks good-if I could
    print without the ads.

    I am a little confused. Justin if you co-authored this article why did you not put your name at the beginning under the title? And is there a reason for “Conscious Optimist” not identifying themselves? So, did you Justin co-write this with a person going by the name “Conscious Optimous”? Can you give any indication of what you, Justin, wrote/authored….and what is by “Conscious Optimous.”? Asking so things are clarified.

    What utter tosh! To spend years telling people how they are being misled, that they are sovereign beings from birth, then to throw this rubbish at us all saying we have to “earn” the title of being sovereign…go to hell! I’m sick to death of constantly being lied to by all of you charlatans acting like you’ve got something with common sense to say, when, in reality, you’re no different than anyone else. I stopped this newsletter for a couple of years b/c it felt wrong on so many levels. I realize, now, I made the right decision back then. You and your conglomerate of “authors” are simply a part of the overall problem. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. One day retribution for your actions and non-actions will come calling for each one of you.

      I can understand your frustration. There’s a lot to learn in order to be competent and wise in this universe. We are inherently sovereign within the jurisdiction of spiritual reality, primal reality, but in the “3d” or here on earth, we have to earn sovereignty in a social sense through skill attainment and wise sagacious negotiation and alliance forming.

      Everything must be earned. Sure we were born sovereign but did we keep the higher law if not then we succumb to mans inferior laws. The moment we take benefits or privilege’s from the government then we have removed our rights to govern ourselves accordingly. If we can’t control our own nature then nature will take care of us. The swamp is full of liars, don’t bring false gods before yourself, in other words we must stop looking for other people to take care of us. Grow your own food, live a simple life and perfect yourself is our purpose. I like this article as he is speaking at a very deep level of consciousness.

    Excellent article. I have just sent you an email. It contains private intell that is not to be shared here, well not yet any how. I can understand the reply made above by Angle, but those days of frustration will soon be behind us.

    People sovereignty is viewed as frivolous argument in every court as all judges take silent judicial notice everyone is presumed 14th Amendment until the contrary is made to appear. Due to court docket backup judges are quick to hold one in contempt of court for wasting court business.

    Since ” ,[comma] or to the people ” section of the 10th Amendment is recognized as being dead and dormant shouldn’t American born seek to return to occupy it in full force and effect? Conjoin it with posterity in Preamble of Constitution positions one in master side of master-servant contract locking govt. in servant side of Constitution.

    What is antecedent to govt. origin is superior in argument. Like Queen of England’ s rights of succession to British govt. rule of law over equity. She exists 100% at common law. A U.S. citizen is equal to British subject. U..S. govt. and States are nation state sovereignty equal in standing to British govt. Queen is free citizen, foreign sovereign equal in standing to what? Free citizen, American citizen at common law?

    If U.S. citizen is equal to corporation, then U.S. citizen is disqualified from being one of de jure, bona fide , We the People . Birth certificate and Social Security Number are first separatist documentation that separates American born from common law into equity realm of servitude. Consider one’s parents or self was moving party that contracted with govt.. One could have exited one’s mothers womb , reached adulthood, with no ties or contracts with the world. Such American born would be outside American govt. scope and purview by being connected to rights of succession stemming from conquering King George’s rule of law. Family bible with two witnesses in attestation to one’s birth used to be acceptable to court as to identification. Answer seems to be to change citizenship as all business, banks, and govt. are guilty of violating discrimination to such national origin as diversity of citizenship is missing creator citizenship of govt. U.S. citizen is a govt. creation not a true free citizen. We’ve all been corralled into the 14th Amendment as human cattle to assume all debts, liabilities , obligations, and consequences of all govt. and private banks . Terms and conditions of New Deal contract remedy to Great Depression is like a condition of war. Constitution Preamble tranquility is peace, Peace at common law. Realm of equity is paper war. We’re legal fiction of law persons not true flesh and blood human beings as a result. We are ball and chain connected to paper. We all come into the world without being numbered and had no paper documents. Likewise we die and no documentation goes with us. 10th Amendment relates to common law people where we’re all supposed to assemble exorcize inalienable right to vote new rights and powers of people into existence on a daily basis and record them in a People’s register opposite of State and federal side of 10th Amendment . Carol Anne Bond vs. United States shows how one can kick out State side of 10th Amendment on a case by case basis. Thus one can be living embodiment of 10th Amendment. It creates conflict of law . 10th Amendment prosecutor vs. Govt. 14th Amendment prosecutor. Visualize perfecting vote to create mobile 10th Amendment Grand Juries correcting all business, banks, and govt. from operating in error. People, 12 to 1 ratio, to afore, enforce reserved rights and impose Sovereign People privilege tax, Sovereign People penalty tax and finance American People Sovereignty pension plan where $ 1 million dollar [ needs based ] escrow account backs up 330 million where 10th Amendment Grand Jury foreman signs off on release of funds. All jurists are singular Identity. Good Samaritan, King Conquerors. 10th Amendment is infinite, best govt, can do in opposition is finite. Everyone should argue 10th Amendment as 14th Amendment is already exhausted.

    American born need to exit 14th Amendment and return to birth rights or tombstone will read ” Born 10th Amendment superior. Died 14th Amendment inferior. 10th can create a bridge to 14th to rescue and depopulate all natural personage. Equal protection and best of 14th can be incorporated into 9th by Addendum to 9th Amendment.

    Consider voting to take the top off of Govt. to examine all contents therein, People reserve right to investigate, inspect, and audit all 4 corners of govt, State and federal. 10th people sign nondisclosure agreements to protect true secrets but have right to declassify errors. People are just doing court guided good faith reliance citizen duty to correct. People provide all Legislature with the transparency its been demanding, requesting, in need of, in want of, for over 34 years evidencing servant employee States and U.S. govt. are inept and incompetent and always asking master side of Constitution to provide servants with remedy. Its like, ” Hello, master employer position of We the People in Preamble posterity, is there anyone there? If not or no response we governments will self create and presume we’re you until you stop us. ” Response could be ” Yes, the Check and Balance People Oversight Authority, comprised of broken hero veterans will dispatch 330 million 10th Amendment standing state People from state Republics to descend upon American govt. where we determine the errors of govt. by looking over their shoulders then after 4 months can exit to assemble vote to subject law to certificate of People’s consent and authorization for good law and Writ of Nullification and Voidment for bad.

    People have right to not suffer bad govt., alas U.S. citizens are created to be mere user privilege absent true right. One has to exit what one now is to get to true rights and power of people. Everyone today exists in govt. records where govt. has sovereignty over the subject matter. Founding freedom is in Free citizen, not U.S. citizen .

    Where today is the infinite spoils of war in conquering past King? We should vote to stare decisis Hooven, Allison vs. Evatt and double down High Court definition of United States and nullify govt. created sovereign corporation, United States and sovereign instrumentality, United States to reduce govt. We could compel re-ratification of 16th Amendment where People side of 10th Amendment speaks as itself, by itself, for itself separate from State and federal. Majority of 330 million video affidavits, backed by paper affidavits show thumbs down thus the toy of income tax is no more. Does this collectively qualify as sovereign thinking or wishful thinking?
