“The sovereign condition then,
is one where all questions have fallen away;
where freedom is not something I attain
but something I recognise to be what I already am
and have been all along;”

introduction
the sovereigns way
Once upon a time I, like most people in this
world, believed that I had a name and that this
name was my identity. I believed that money had
intrinsic value and I believed that if I had enough
of it I could positively affect the world. I believed
that everyone ought to pay their taxes for the
greater good. I believed that statute was law,
and that those laws were there for the benefit
of all. I believed that the health service would fix
my ills, that the education system would impart
knowledge, and that the police force would help
me in my hour of need. I believed that war could
be just, that the news told the truth, and that
there really was a free market economy. But most

conscience.
As many of us now begin to discover the truths of

And as it fulfils this most noble of purposes, and
as we resultantly endeavour to withdraw from its
psychosis, this ‘system’ simply pulls us further in;
the more we resist it the stronger its grip – eager

a simple choice; to pretend as we have done
before that we are not the problem, or to quit
feeding the beast and become the solution – the
solution that requires nothing more of us than
to embrace our sovereign birthright and to act
the only way out is in
The ‘system’ which we have hitherto sanctioned is
predicated on fear and conflict, it rewards service
to self, inspires hostility toward our brothers and
sisters, and stimulates the secret yet constant
battle for a limited source of energy; the only
intelligible reason for its existence is that through
relentless exposure to its apparent evils, it may
eventually come to show us that which we are not
– the necessary catalyst for our voyage of selfdiscovery.
The only way out, ironically, is to go within – this
system thrives on mind, in fact it is the mind –
existing nowhere but the collective minds of those
who empower it. The only way to rise above its
perceived control, is to cease to identify with that
