U.S. Citizen

U.S. Citizen

Definition

In legal terms, a U.S. citizen, as defined in Black's Law Dictionary, is an individual who is a "person" under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Corporation, not a sovereign state. This legal entity, or "straw man," is created through the issuance of a birth certificate, which functions as a commercial instrument within the U.S. Corporation's system. A U.S. citizen is a legal fiction, a corporate entity, subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Corporation, which operates under Maritime Admiralty/Commercial Law. This system governs all aspects of the citizen’s life, from legal rights to duties, including commercial activities like driving with a U.S. driver's license and participating in elections for the president of the U.S. Corporation.

The concept of U.S. citizenship as a corporate entity traces back to the early 20th century, particularly after the passage of the 14th Amendment in 1868, which granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States. However, this citizenship was not defined as that of a sovereign individual but as a legal status within the jurisdiction of the U.S. Corporation, a separate entity from the nation itself.

The shift from a nation-state to a corporate structure was solidified in the 1930s, particularly with the New Deal and the creation of the Federal Reserve, marking the U.S. as a corporation. The 1933 bankruptcy of the United States further entrenched the concept of U.S. citizenship as a commercial status, with citizens serving as the collateral for the national debt. This created a system where individuals, identified as "U.S. citizens," are effectively subject to the laws of commerce, rather than the laws of a sovereign nation.

In esoteric terms, identifying as a U.S. citizen is viewed as embracing the "straw man" concept—a false identity created to bind the individual to a system of control and enslavement. This "citizen" is not a free, sovereign being but rather a legal fiction, created to serve the U.S. Corporation's commercial interests.

The U.S. citizen is a representation of a corporation, a constructed identity that keeps individuals attached to materialism and worldly pursuits. This false identity functions to keep people in a state of dependency and subjugation, perpetuating the cycle of servitude to the system.

Esoterically, the U.S. citizen represents modern-day slavery. Through the legal and commercial system, individuals are bound to the corporate entity, working to pay off national debts and participate in a system that exploits their labor for profit.

Jurisdiction of Maritime Admiralty Law: Under Maritime Admiralty Law, the U.S. citizen is treated as a vessel, subject to the laws of commerce. This system governs everything from property ownership to personal rights, positioning the individual as a commodity rather than a free being.

The practice of shadow work can be applied here, as individuals are encouraged to recognize the false self—the "citizen"—and reclaim their true sovereignty. This process involves confronting the societal constructs and legal fictions that bind them and seeking liberation from the false identity imposed by the U.S. Corporation.

The practical application of understanding U.S. citizenship from this perspective involves recognizing that the "citizen" is a legal fiction created for commercial purposes. Individuals who identify as U.S. citizens are operating within a system that governs all aspects of their lives under Maritime Admiralty Law, including their ability to work, travel, and even vote.

For those seeking spiritual or personal liberation, the first step is recognizing the false identity of the "citizen" and understanding how it limits freedom. This may involve actions such as challenging the legal system, opting out of certain commercial systems, or exploring alternative ways of living outside the confines of U.S. jurisdiction.

Additionally, this recognition can serve as a gateway to deeper spiritual work, as it highlights the need to transcend the material and commercial systems that keep individuals enslaved. It encourages individuals to reclaim their sovereignty and align with higher spiritual laws, seeking personal freedom beyond the legal framework imposed by the U.S. Corporation.

Connection to Other Terms

• Sovereignty: The concept of U.S. citizenship is in direct contrast to the idea of sovereignty, as the "citizen" is bound by legal and commercial systems, while true sovereignty requires independence from these constructs.

• Strawman: The "straw man" is the false identity created by the legal system, under which U.S. citizens operate. This term is essential for understanding how the legal system treats individuals as corporate entities rather than sovereign beings.

• Maritime Admiralty Law: The system of law that governs U.S. citizens, treating them as vessels and binding them to commercial contracts, is central to understanding how the "citizen" operates under the U.S. Corporation.

• Natural Law: Natural Law stands in contrast to the legal system of U.S. citizenship, as it emphasizes universal principles that transcend man-made laws. True freedom lies in aligning with Natural Law rather than the constructs of the U.S. Corporation.

From an alchemical perspective, the U.S. citizen is a representation of the base material, bound by the chains of the material world and legal constructs. The process of spiritual transformation involves transcending this false identity and reclaiming one's true, sovereign essence.

The work of alchemy in this context is about recognizing the false self—the "citizen"—and transmuting it into the gold of spiritual sovereignty. This process requires breaking free from the constraints of commercial law and aligning with higher spiritual truths, much like the alchemist who seeks to turn lead into gold. The journey involves confronting the ego and the false self, liberating the individual from the illusion of control and guiding them toward true freedom and enlightenment.
