Consider your origin. You were not formed to live like brutes but to follow virtue and knowledge.

Individual responsibility

Material wealth and individual spirit are dependent on each other.

At a high vibration

The emotional awareness that material abundance and individual spirit are interdependent. Finding the spirit through materialism.

Shadow

The self-interested spirit that makes materialism become obsessive and refuses to let others share the wealth.

“Perhaps there is another city Marco Polo has yet to describe is one where no emperor controls the currency, where value arises from human action, not decree. But that is a tale for another night. Satoshira, the City Without a King.”

A whimsical interpretation of current times.

The Cities of Vanishing Wealth

Trading in Shadows, Speaking in Light

A poetic reflection on transits—woven into mystery, in the mystery.

“In Chao,” Marco Polo tells the Khan, “a merchant can buy a caravan of horses with a single slip. A spice trader, burdened with nothing but a scroll of inked characters, may cross the desert and return richer than before. The city thrives not on metal, but on belief.”

The Khan listens, tapping his fingers on the lacquered armrest of his throne. “And what happens,” he asks, “when the belief fades?”

“Then,” Marco replies, “the city finds itself full of paper and empty of trust. At first, the officials assured the people that each note could be redeemed for gold, for silk, for silver stacked high in the imperial vaults. But the scribes began to write more notes than there were vaults to hold them, and the markets filled with wealth that existed only in the ink of a promise. The more paper they printed, the less it was worth.

Thank you, Efrat, for sharing this! My writing and creativity have been shifting inward, leaning more into the lyrical, satirical, and abstract—letting inspiration weave itself through rather than explaining everything outright. The current astrological transits are calling for this shift, and I’m embracing it fully. 👇

Thank you, Efrat, for sharing this! My writing and creativity have been shifting inward, leaning more into the lyrical, satirical, and abstract—letting inspiration weave itself through rather than explaining everything outright. The current astrological transits are calling for this shift, and I’m embracing it fully. 👇

There are cities built on promises, cities made of reflections, and cities where value is neither held nor decreed, but simply created. Marco Polo speaks, the Khan listens. Somewhere in the spaces between illusion and reality, a question lingers: what remains when the mirage fades?

Glitch number three: The war is spiritual, but the attack is psychological.At the beginning of my book, I distinguish between PNEVMA—spirit, breath—and PSYCHE—soul. In this context, the soul must uncover what lies beneath the surface of the unconscious to truly master life on Earth as an incarnated being—a life lived between two breaths, a spirit contained within a material vesseL.

The war is spiritual, but the attack is psychological—an all-encompassing assault on perception, memory, and choice. The soul (ψυχή, psuchē) is caught in the battlefield of conditioning, layered with illusions that obscure its purpose. Meanwhile, spirit (πνεῦμα, pneuma) remains untouched, breathing in the background, waiting for the psyche to wake up.

[…]

Most people are unaware of the glitch because they perceive only from the psyche—the programmed mind, the conditioned emotions, the reactive self. They don’t question their choices, their fears, their financial enslavement, or the narratives they have been given. They believe in authority, institutions, and history because they do not recognize the program for what it is.

Mastering life on Earth means understanding that we live between two breaths—between spirit and matter, between the illusion and the real, between incarnation and return.

Are you living from PSYCHE—the conditioned self, the character scripted by the system?

Or from PNEVMA—the raw, untouchable essence, beyond perception, beyond control?

And if you woke up today and realized it was all a program—would you still play the role?

Hey hey

Thanks to the Austrians I get it 🤭

Thanks I will give it a read

**“Back to work, peeps! Let DOGE open the lid and take the poop out while I train for the upcoming 💩 show in a few weeks.

Do NOT LOSE YOUR FOCUS!”** https://video.nostr.build/f19999cfd4809ccc045690ea14aa2d38bfcc23d434f822a6adf05b394bf63e4b.mp4

I appreciate your perspective on glitches as tools within a system, particularly the way you describe video game exploits—how they allow players to bypass artificial constraints while still technically playing by the rules of the simulation. While I’ve never played video games, I understand the metaphor: stepping outside the map to see the entire structure of the game, while still operating within its coded parameters.

Where I see the difference is that my concept of the glitch isn’t about exploiting the system—it’s about perceiving that the system itself is not what we thought it was. It’s not a trick or a cheat; it’s the moment when the veil drops, when we stop believing in the structure that has shaped our reality.

For me, the glitch is not about getting an edge over the game—it’s about realizing that what we thought was solid, fixed, and unquestionable was never real in the first place. It’s about waking up to the illusion itself.

And this shift happens differently depending on when you were born, how you were conditioned, and what belief systems shaped you. As a Gen X, I was raised with the assumption that the world functioned in a certain way—that government institutions, the economy, money, and even social hierarchies were real, immutable structures. But over the last 10–15 years, I’ve watched those assumptions dissolve. The more I’ve questioned, the more I’ve seen that we were playing a game without knowing we were playing.

I also resonate with your take on Bitcoin. I question everything—including Bitcoin—not out of skepticism, but because everything should be open to questioning. Bitcoin exists because we give it value. It is a glitch in the financial system, yes, but what if it itself is part of another simulation? What if its existence still abides by hidden rules we don’t yet see? That possibility doesn’t scare me—it excites me. Because seeing is the point.

So, while I see glitches as a way to step outside the imposed rules, for me, the ultimate question is not how we use them, but what happens when we stop playing entirely. Not by breaking the game, not by hacking it, but by recognizing that it was never real to begin with.

Defense is a market good because it protects property rights, but it only holds value when those rights are under threat.

Property isn’t just land—it includes bodily autonomy and free speech. If a nation refuses to defend these fundamental rights, its demand for military defense becomes hypocritical.

The U.S. has spent $114 billion on Ukraine while carrying a $36 trillion debt, yet many European governments trample on property rights through vaccine mandates and censorship. You can’t demand protection while rejecting the principles that justify it.

At the end of the day, those who have an army pay for defense, and Zelensky keeps asking for more U.S. taxpayer money to continue a war where peace was already an option.

Defense must be sustainable, not an unchecked liability. Right now, the U.S. is funding Europe’s security while it aggressively pushes woke ideology—demanding protection while undermining the very freedoms that make defense necessary.

Wokeism is dead. No more child mutilation, no more socialist academia. If you don’t understand property rights, money, and debt, you don’t understand anything.

Study the history of money. Until you grasp how the fiat system fuels endless war and economic enslavement, the rest is just noise.

Commission almost completed

I love creating art for others to connect to. grateful

“Arcana” was commissioned by Art in Public Spaces through ArtsWA, the Washington State Arts Commission, for the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building at the University of Washington in Seattle.

This piece features vibrant glass elements interacting with metal silhouettes to create a dynamic, stage-like environment. Inspired by Oskar Schlemmer’s Triadic Ballet from the Bauhaus era, Arcana combines geometry with historical engineering tools, creating a sense of belonging and inspiration among students.

The installation is designed to engage viewers from different perspectives, encouraging interaction with the space while reinforcing a connection between engineering and artistic expression.

The project is scheduled for installation in 2025. These images are part of the process at the fabricators in Germany

Thank you, scamdemic—

for the lockdowns, face diapers, and outrageous mandates.

Thank you, libtards—

and all the woke ex-artist friends who claim my authentic voice is a threat.

Thanks to all the challenges humanity is facing.

Thanks to all of us,

the so-called “conspiracy theorists,”

who have understood from day one

that what’s truly at stake is the property of our body—

and how it defines FREEDOM.

The United States of America was founded as a constitutional republic, meaning the government’s primary role is to protect the inalienable rights of individuals, as outlined in the Constitution. The three branches—executive, legislative, and judicial—exist to maintain checks and balances, ensuring that no single entity or majority can override these rights.

The term “democracy” began being widely used, especially in political rhetoric, in the early 20th century, pushed by progressive movements and later reinforced by education, media, and politicians who conflated majority rule with constitutional governance. This shift effectively downplays the importance of constitutional protections and individual rights, favoring a perception that government power comes from the fluctuating will of the people rather than from a fixed rule of law that limits government itself.

In reality, pure democracy is dangerous, as it allows the majority to infringe upon the rights of the minority. The Constitution was designed to prevent exactly that, making it clear that the USA is not a democracy in the classical sense but a republic based on law and individual liberty.
