The privilege to do what you do best—it’s a blessing.
Every time I get the opportunity to create a public artwork, I feel immense gratitude. These are not just projects—they are invitations to bring spaces to life, to tell a story through color, form, and presence.
Arcana is my latest work—an immersive glass and metal site intervention created for the new Interdisciplinary Engineering Building at the University of Washington in Seattle. It forms a dynamic, stage-like wraparound environment that embraces and shapes an ever-changing experience through light and perspective. Inspired by Oskar Schlemmer’s Triadic Ballet, it translates geometric abstraction into a structural language of engineering—integrating form, motion, and perception.
It’s a long process: from idea to inception, to fabrication, to installation. Nothing about it is fast or disposable. I work closely with fabricators, and our relationship is key—they must understand the essence of what I’m conveying, and I trust them to bring that vision into the world with precision and care.
These pieces are not for sale. They are site-specific, they belong to the places they inhabit. They carry a pulse, a frequency, they become part of the space—they activate it.
In a few days, I’ll be in Seattle installing Arcana, and I’m deeply grateful—to the commissioner who believed in this vision, to the fabricators who helped me bring it to life, and most of all, to the part of me that keeps showing up with courage.
Courage to believe in my talents.
Courage to keep doing what I know how to do best.
This is a celebration—of color, of life, of trusting the process. More images during the install -
There is nothing more convenient than being free

We shape our reality
one day
at a time.
Through our thoughts
and our actions.
The power of birth—
when spirit incarnates
and finds form
in a vessel
of flesh
that is
temporary.
Neptune — Spirit
enters Aries.
The entering of spirit into the individual
is indeed a new life.
Are you ready?

“Revision of attitude at the beginning of a new cycle of experience.
A new dimension of consciousness is discovered.”

This weekend:
The teacher.
The reshaper of the myth.
The reincarnation of meaning.
— Solar Eclipse at 9° Aries
— Neptune at 0° Aries
The emergence.
The rising of spirit into form.

We are all spirit, incarnated.
I am neither only spirit
nor only flesh.
I AM the synthesis.

“It was actually a detailed plan for the future government of the United States, ‘which would establish Socialism as dreamed by Karl Marx,’ according to House.”
— from Philip Dru: Administrator by Edward Mandell House,
as quoted in The Secrets of the Federal Reserve by Eustace Mullins
👆👆👆

History doesn’t repeat—it evolves in disguise.
Deception rarely comes with fangs. It comes wrapped in compassion, reason, and “solutions.” The kind of control that lasts is the one that makes you believe you’re being helped.
In 1910, the most powerful banking families—Warburg, Morgan, Rockefeller, Schiff—met in secret on Jekyll Island. By 1913, the Federal Reserve Act was quietly passed during the Christmas recess, binding the U.S. to a private, debt-based monetary system, designed to serve the few while enslaving the many.
Colonel Edward Mandell House, President Wilson’s closest advisor, wrote Philip Dru: Administrator—a political fantasy disguised as fiction. In it, he envisions a centralized America run by an unelected “Administrator” who imposes social legislation, controls credit, redistributes wealth, and guides the masses—supposedly for their own good.
Sound familiar?
We are now inside another wave of Marxist deception, only this time it’s digital, abstract, and running on code. And while many fixate on opposing sides, the real game remains divide and conquer.
Some say Elon Musk whispers in Trump’s ear, laying the groundwork for technocratic rule—where governance blends with algorithms and AI replaces autonomy. So what’s next? From the slavery of money to the slavery of the machine?
This isn’t about who’s right or wrong. It’s about discernment.
Deception thrives when we stop questioning. When we trade truth for comfort. When we forget to ask, “Who benefits?”
Study AI. Study power. Study your perception. Study the history of money. Study bitcoin
Because it’s not coming—
it’s already here.
We live in sound.
Everything is vibration.
Everything oscillates.
“Perception spans a spectrum with quantitative expressions of energy… What our eyes grasp is but a fraction of this vast energetic totality.
Ratios contribute to the creation of harmonic relationships. They compare quantities within the same frequency, creating harmony in a vibratory space.
Emotions are waves of energy stemming from the soul, and they need time. The breath anchors these waves, as the pace and rhythm can give a clear focus to the intended.”
— Monika Bravo, The Nature of My Reality (2024)
We are electromagnetic fields—each of us tuned to a greater field.
Emotion, thought, breath, even value—move in waves.
Reading a financial chart? You’re reading frequency.
Time and price oscillate just like a cardiogram maps the rhythm of your heart.
It’s all energy in motion.
Yet we only perceive within narrow spectrums.
We see less than 1% of visible light.
We hear only a sliver of sound.
So why do we assume what we can’t sense doesn’t exist?
That’s the oxymoron.
Humming activates the polyvagal nerve.
Binaural sound can shift your state of awareness.
Your voice, your breath, your rhythm—they’re not just healing tools.
They’re tuning devices.
Sound is the bridge.
And you are the tuning fork.
Yes complying is the first step towards slavery 💥
Today I was reminded of the U.S. Constitution.
Specifically, Article I, Section 8—
the clause that gives Congress, and only Congress, the power to create money:
“To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures.”
This is not a theory. It’s law.
So why do we have a private central bank?
In 1913, the Federal Reserve Act created a banking cartel with the power to issue currency backed by debt—not gold, not silver, not labor.
Congress delegated a power it was never meant to give away.
That power was—and still is—meant to serve you, the people.
We’ve given certainty to systems that are not certain.
We’ve mistaken authority for truth.
We obey institutions that operate outside the Constitution.
And in return?
We get inflation, surveillance, and silence.
But here’s the paradox:
The more you step into uncertainty,
the more you reclaim your freedom.
Because when you stop outsourcing meaning,
you realize:
It was never about certainty.
It was about your right to choose.
So what are our real options?
1. Education – Read the Constitution. Read Rothbard. Read The Creature from Jekyll Island. Question everything.
2. Self-Custody – Bitcoin is a stance, not a product.
3. Know Your Rights – Inalienable. Non-negotiable.
4. Voluntary Action – Don’t wait for permission.
5. Refuse the Illusion of Certainty – Law ≠ Justice. Fiat ≠ Value.
The Federal Reserve bypassed the Constitution, replacing money with debt and freedom with compliance.
But that’s just one example.
How many other codes, statutes, and regulations are quietly infringing on your inalienable rights?
And why isn’t every man and woman standing up for their right
—to be free,
—to live peacefully,
—to pursue happiness on their own terms?
Certainty won’t save us.
But inquiry, action, and courage might.
It starts with you.

#dailyInsight: Venus Reborn in the Fire
Today I’m reflecting on the Kazimi of Venus retrograde in Aries—the midpoint of her underworld journey, a moment of reset. Mercury retrograde will meet the Sun next, both happening in my second house—the realm of essential needs and values.
Both Venus and Mercury are ruled by Mars, currently in Cancer, squaring my natal Mars in Aries. Transiting Chiron, too, is conjuncting that Mars, asking me to feel what I usually rush past.
This is the message arriving from the tension:
Taking care of my needs shouldn’t be a burden. It should be the natural flow of life.
My time is not something I owe. It is something I own.
Mars, as ruler of these fiery retrogrades, teaches through friction. And in this heat, I’m learning that naming what I need isn’t indulgent—it’s essential. I can take space for my emotional rhythms without guilt. I don’t have to apologize for my tempo. I don’t have to prove my worth through urgency.
This is new Venusian logic, forged in fire:
-Claim your needs. Let them lead.-
With Mercury also retrograde, this moment isn’t just about value—it’s about voicing it. Expressing unapologetically what truly matters, in words that are both tender and clear. This is a moment of courage, reflection, and learning to speak the language of self-respect.
Because transiting Mars is in Cancer on my 6th house, I’m getting into the habit of honoring awkwardness.
The habit of creating space to mourn, to feel vulnerable.
And the habit—and ritual—of staying soft when I want to harden.
If I know how to take space for my emotional needs, I don’t need to feel either guilty or burdened.
This is how courage meets care.
This is how I’m learning to let love—for myself—set the rhythm.

Are you noticing shifts in how you value and express yourself?

A Crack in the Fortress
The light begins to shine through.
The Federal Reserve’s Reckoning
Something foundational is shifting. The Federal Reserve’s natal Pluto at 0° Cancer—power hoarded, hidden, and protected—is being activated this summer by the Sun, Jupiter, and the anti-vertex. Across the axis, the natal Vertex at 0° Capricorn marks a fated confrontation. The illusion of authority is being met by the force of reality. The structures that have long claimed control now reflect their own limits.
Pluto is moving steadily toward the Fed’s natal Uranus at 5° Aquarius—a point of disruption and technological control. But that’s not all. Just one degree away lies the South Node of the United States at 6° Aquarius—a karmic echo, now reverberating. This is a direct confrontation between the Fed’s blueprint and the unresolved shadow of the nation’s path. The system of centralized manipulation, once accepted as stability, is being stripped bare.
And now: Saturn and Neptune are reshaping reality itself. In their balsamic phase, they form a tight square to the very foundation of the Fed’s chart—Pluto at 0° Cancer and the Sun at 0° Capricorn. This is not symbolic; it is structural. The axis of power, institution, and control is under siege. Saturn brings consequences. Neptune removes the veil. Together, they dissolve what no longer has spiritual or material ground. And as they do, Jupiter expands the scam, lighting it up at full volume—bloated, tired, exposed. The reckoning is timed to precision.
And we must return to the origin. The Fed’s natal Vertex, North Node, Chiron, and Juno all cluster in Pisces. A fated illusion. A wound disguised as a remedy. A promise of union, healing, or protection—but built on dependency and mystification. That entire Piscean knot is squared by Mercury, Venus, and Saturn in Gemini—a structure born through distortion, cloaked in dual language, selling control as care. And this summer, Jupiter returns to the same degrees where Saturn stood in 1913—Gemini, the sign of division and narrative control.
We are no longer in 1913, when people trusted blindly. This is 2025. The veil has thinned. Scam after scam has conditioned us to question everything—and rightly so. Some of us are already building, already free. But we need more to see it. We need more to act. The system cannot hold. Its logic is crumbling. The fortress is fractured, and the light is coming through.
///
We’ve already entered the dismantling. This government—whether knowingly or not—is activating the disruption. The illusion is breaking, piece by piece. And while some complain, others of us watch and quietly say: thank God. Because by January 26 2028, as a solar eclipse in Aquarius aligns with the South Node of the United States and Pluto completes its conjunction, we’ll witness the culmination of this unraveling. A new era won’t arrive overnight, but the process is well underway. By the time a new official is elected, the mask will have fully slipped.

It’s becoming harder and harder to talk to normies about the problem of money—because they sense something is wrong, but they misplace the blame. Prices rise, their quality of life deteriorates, and yet they don’t understand why.
They talk about injustice, politics, felons, oligarchs, and parties—they throw out words like darts, but never stop to trace them to the source. It’s all noise. A soup of headlines and borrowed opinions. And yes, everything is related—but no one wants to admit that it all begins with money. The debasement. The theft. The lie.
Most of the people I’m speaking to are from the Northern Hemisphere—Europeans, Americans, part of elite circles: academics, artists, intellectuals. They like to protest, to speak of justice and oppression, to signal their concern. But they rarely take initiative to understand the problem from a different perspective—especially when that perspective threatens their comfortable narratives. They dismiss what I say as radical, or worse, conspiratorial. They don’t want to hear it. They want to feel right, not be curious.
And that’s fine.
I’ve surrendered to the fact that I can’t even have a dialogue with them. I’ve tried. But it’s exhausting. It’s depleting. Nothing comes out of it.
They’re playing an old record and clinging to it, because it reaffirms their ignorance. It gives them permission to keep repeating the same script, and in that repetition, they find false comfort.
And who am I to interrupt? I’m nobody.
So I speak only to those who come with curiosity. The ones who want to understand. The ones who ask, “Why did you change your life? What opened your eyes?”
Lately, I’ve chosen to pour my energy into creation, not persuasion. Because if people really want to understand what’s happening—they can. The knowledge is there. But they must want to look.
Does this sound like frustration? Maybe at first. But now it’s just clarity. Acceptance.
It is what it is.

There’s an important conversation unfolding about freedom of speech, legality, and natural rights. Right now, a specific group is passionately defending freedom of speech in response to the revocation of a temporary permit by the chief executive of this country. This scenario raises meaningful questions about consistency in our values.
I speak from personal experience, having navigated the legal immigration system myself about 30 years ago to become a naturalized citizen. Recently, as a free individual committed to understanding my rights more deeply, I’ve explored natural and common law, recognizing that my body itself is private property. This understanding has led me to question why the passionate defense of freedom of speech appears situational rather than consistently upheld.
In truth, the entire discourse feels inconsistent, even incoherent. We’ve experienced significant infringements on our rights through mandates and executive orders, often met with silence or passive acceptance. Perhaps now is the crucial moment to deeply differentiate between legality (what government statutes allow) and lawfulness (what natural and common law recognize as inherent, inalienable rights).
This moment provides a profound opportunity to clarify what genuinely protects us as human beings and encourages us to courageously stand for our rights. I stood for mine during the COVID hysteria—it’s vital we all learn how to consistently stand for our own.
For that reason, I recently enrolled in studying civics, revisiting the Constitution of the United States. I believe it’s crucial to understand clearly how this country was founded and recognize how far we’ve drifted from those foundational principles, by retracing and embracing again a more Aristotelian methodology—one that prioritizes accountability and personal responsibility, including the essential insights from Ludwig von Mises’ major work, -Human Action-
We act, and thus we bear full responsibility for our choices rather than resorting to blame born of ignorance.
It is hard to stand alone among the many - I did it - “suffered” many losses - not!
Today I stand even more fiercely - no amount of pressure can allow the property of my body to be coerced by anyone -
Do you remember what was happening five years ago? Or have you tucked that chapter neatly away, refusing to re-read it?
I don’t forget. I don’t forget how the world surrendered to an imposed narrative, how property rights—starting with the fundamental right to one’s own body—were obliterated by mandates and collective hysteria.
Five years have passed, yet I’m struck by how many continue living under the spell of other people’s narratives. Even now, many remain incapable of questioning the very authorities that misled them, that coerced them, that used fear as a weapon against critical thinking.
Some of us saw through it then, and we see through it now. We maintained our North Star—the inviolable principle that our bodies are not collateral for someone else’s sense of safety. We recognized that surrendering the sovereignty of our physical being was not just a temporary concession but the first domino in a cascade of lost liberties.
Those five years revealed who would stand firm when pressure came, who would protect the sacred boundary of their own existence. As Neptune moved through Pisces, its fog descended upon the collective consciousness, blurring the lines between truth and propaganda. Reality itself seemed to bend and distort, with many unable to distinguish between protection and control, between safety and submission.
And now, as Neptune prepares to enter Aries, we face a new test: can those who surrendered their autonomy reclaim it? Or have they become so comfortable in their chains that they mistake them for jewelry?

“Reset Is Not An Option: Emerging, Embraced by the Deep”
-Time doesn’t ask for permission.-
New article dropping Tuesday.
Five years of metamorphosis.
Neptune entering Aries.
Beyond collective illusion.
Sovereignty is not a hashtag. It’s a daily practice.
Www.monikabravo.blog
2020—2025
Five years have passed since the world was reshaped, and if there’s one truth I reaffirm, it is this: the property of my body is sacred.
Know the difference—discern between collective illusions and individual rights.
Human Action is not just an economic theory; it is the defense of political freedom against the overreach of government.
I explore this and more in The Nature of My Reality.
[…] Why do I say that? Because I finally understood that value is subjective. This is one of the axioms that I truly embodied through my studies in Austrian economics.
If value is subjective, and if my time on Earth is the most scarce asset I have, then how do I ensure my value is preserved and multiplied across time? This is where low-time preference becomes crucial—it's about consciously acting with the future in mind, prioritizing sustainable growth over immediate gratification. This is precisely the topic I'll be exploring in my upcoming workshop at BitBlockBoom in Dallas next April.
Reflecting on this, I ask you: Are you drawn to communities promising new economic models without first deeply understanding what "economy" truly means, or what money fundamentally is as a technology? Do you realize the word "economics" originates from the Greek oikonomia, meaning "household management"?
Are you operating under the impression that profound systemic issues can be repaired through ignorance or good intentions alone?
I have to admit that eight years ago, I was profoundly ignorant in these matters myself. It was only by confronting that ignorance and aligning authentically that I discovered true freedom, understanding, and abundance.
We're all standing at that fork in the road right now. By the end of 2025, if you haven't done this inner and outer work, the toll many will pay will be extraordinarily high—because without this deep understanding, you won't have the leverage to truly choose what is correct and aligned for you.
We are moving into a time where people who understand value will move forward, and those who don't will be left scrambling.
You can either define your own worth or let others define it for you. The choice has always been yours. Without understanding the technology of money and self-worth, you remain vulnerable to distraction by other psychological operations.
One of the biggest delusions is what the Federal Reserve and everything that happened since its inception has constructed: value debasement creating further enslavement.
