Native Coequality is the Absolute Ruler of Gods and Men (Part One)
Natural Justice Is the End of Government: “Generous and Christian” U.S. Lintel (Abigail Adams) (1776)
To the Coequal Members of this American Republic,
As water finds its own level, the emergent Age of Aquamerian Equanimity may be calling upon us for a more proactive approach to resolution of our own states of relative calm or tranquility, as well as to more generously reach out to one another than we might otherwise.
Ultimately finding ourselves in receipt of the great privilege and honor of contemplating a question that is in many respects the most important in the world, and perhaps answerable only by a People who wish to be Free:
“ The world has not hitherto exhibited so fair an opportunity for promoting social happiness. It is hoped for the honor or human nature, that the result will prove the fallacy of those theories, which suppose that mankind are incapable of self government.” - David Ramsay, The History of the American Revolution (1791)[1]
Ramsay uses “are” in conjunction with “mankind” as in the Declaration of Independence, where Female and Male genders are both contemplated and differences pertain to our own private identities generally driven by the inherent qualities of our being; but answering only to our own determinations as enjoying our full equal Liberties of Conscience.
As considering ourselves capable of embracing a full and equal respect for one another, we are likewise able to circumvent the internal impetus inciting us to form opinions around such matters as they pertain to others, despite being decidedly the private determinations of individual Conscience. As well as therefore able to resolve ourselves more consistently with the mutual vow to each other in our Original Act; declaring that the united Colonies meant to be, and were free independent States united into one American Republic.
Though we note questions associated with this topic seem to percolate as though insistently and incessantly flowing; but be the cause that where manifest, invariably do ourselves injustice to pursue.
Hereby that Act rising as compatriots whose truest re-guards are capable of finally realizing the Promised Rights of our nation that are Natural—and delivering them to every Member of this whole Republic coequally. Where we are subject to the Natural Laws of our own Native Coequality alone, and in service to the Inherent Personal justice that may be found in that Choice, becoming of the true “End[s] of Government” (Madison, Hamilton, Federalist No. 51). The awkward formulation of an assertion put forth in No. 51 concerning what may be characterized as more originally Aristotelian, and may only be considered as having been intentional. As well as that it is perhaps coordinately approximate to one most famous and often recited “principle that is both Generous and Christian” (see Abigail Adams below).
This long-sighted outcome surprisingly renders moot questions historically unsolvable or described as paradoxes e.g., “who will Guard the Guards” and others related to Observer and Architect frameworks of the great faiths. However, regardless of whether James Madison wrote it alone or it was indeed a joint effort with Alexander Hamilton, we would characterize the paradigm as Madisonian-Hamiltonian (see No. 51 on pg. 116 of John Church Hamilton’s 1788 copy here).
In that their forward looking statement may be characterized as more generously Free and Equal, in comparison to the likes of a David Ramsey or Webster Noah, which could be said to be relatively Independent and Driven.
On the other hand, when Virginians instructed their Delegates to include a reference to “the Searcher of Hearts” in their Act of Ratification (here), which remains part of our Original Plans for Government today (other States’ may be seen here); they moved for the dissolution of deceitful propaganda along a path from here back to ancient Kartheage (Carthage).
That is to say, where the poets lost the plots to their own stories, our Cofounders moved for something new and different:
That then, there, and thence as here now, Hence and henceforward forever for the Ever Free, to the discovery of unlimitedly Shared futures, where together we, Are neither upon the cliff of a terrifying, Precipice, nor as met by the world’s ending; But standing shoulder-to-shoulder, with Every other Being of this Living Station, as All earthkind, the whole perfection of our True Nature, as part of the Dynamism of earth, That is both Sustainable and Unlimited.
Where we are informed by the Sacred and Profound Truth contained in our Original Act that formed our Republic instead, the basic conditions of that Creation Pact may become as readily understandable as elementary to our new found purpose.
That it established this State, the United States of America as the perfectly dynamic Supreme Right to Self Govern, in an unchangeable document, and one in accordance with the Free and Equal Station of Earth, presided over by the Natural Law of Native Coequality, as Absolute Ruler and Natural Justice (“Searcher of Hearts” or ”Supreme Judge of the world”) that is as Private as it moves super-fluidly with and for all Her Earthkind coequally.
Furthermore, as our Original Act to take up our role among the Protectorates of Nature as part of the Preservation of Earth, rejoining the Symphony Orchestra of our Natural World. One that for the ever immeasurably exceeds all artificial and manufactured alternatives, as well as attempts to control or outwit it, whether by prediction models, manipulation, or emulation, as to be Nature fearing is to revere Her, but to serve Her and the Earth is to be as Free as the rest of Earthkind among the whole Perfection of this limitless Dynamism.—
That, we don’t contribute to this publication (The Republia Reguarded) as to suggest we think that there is any exceedingly difficult task or specific bar of behavior required by our Nature. Rather writing because our shared journey has been both “beautiful and mysterious” (Albert Einstein here) and the happiness we’ve shared as well as move toward, as the ultimate renewal of now in a final realization of our Republic’s Promised Natural Rights, are not generally part of the information we are offered for consumption by the mainstream every day.
Though recalibrating with the truth of our past as navigating the present for the best and most exciting shared futures of tomorrow, requires each of us to suspend disbelief that they are possible, opening our hearts and setting our minds free to the maximum of beautiful possibilities, as children at play and the first step before we can most effectively come together to begin sharing new ideas.
“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, None but ourselves can free our minds.” - Bob Marley, Redemption Song.
Ultimately renewing the Mutual Pledge to each other of coequality found in the final clause of the U.S.A. Formation (here), and taking up or reassuming our Coequal Station among not just the other humans of the earth; but also the entire kingdom of Creatures that are co-inhabitants of the ecosystems as integrants part of the whole perfection of nature.
An undertaking that may at first sound far too idealistic under the circumstances we perceive ourselves to be faced with; but may in fact be the Cause itself that impedes us as unmoved for, and one that becomes irresistibly more compelling and exciting the moment we begin.
As if the thought alone could return us to the origin of our aboriginal Creation Pact, where we realize otherwise daunting tasks such as the ultimate realization of our Natural Rights or sublimation of the last prophecy, will occur themselves as in the Natural course of Earthly Events, without needing to make special arrangements or fighting any wars with one another for their achievement.
Now in proximity to that final deliverance among the Seas of Airs (or on the planet earth), it may be worth re-familiarizing ourselves with the more ancient ancestral meaning of “America” and origins of “E Pluribus Unum” next time; but for now these things probably remain less relevant.
Here instead liberating ourselves to the calm of this Free and Equal Station of the Earth as continuously devoted to the expression of our Freewill and Choice to move for Nature’s Truth, a most ancient precept and the notion of some God as Truth, or a God that is considered True by some hypothetical person; and that god was referred to as Gaia (either as an epithet or name of some kind) based on an amateur review of Proto-Germanic reconstructions—that we initially conducted some years ago and have since found further review only reinforces our initial conclusion.
That it too fits with other proto linguistic phonetic frameworks, which are all very imprecise by definition of the way they are constructed i.e., as theoretical predecessor languages constructed as models suggest by assessing commonalities and gaps among some group of modern languages, chosen because they demonstrate qualities that suggest they are relatable (all generally speaking).
We find that in this work, we are best off to be disinterested in poetic works, though on occasion they can be useful where they demystify the nonsensical tracks of other poets as in into workable truths; and generally where they are historical without having been transformed into state propaganda, for example as alluding to otherwise difficult to approach or elsewhere unavailable accounts, such that one is saved the disservice of being told what they are meant to think, or feel but shown enough to see the beauty in something that may otherwise be too elusive.
Though we cannot say for certain, Rumi of the ancient Persians may have been very good at allowing people who consumed his or her art to notice something profoundly wonder-full, transcending, or beautifully humbling; but in such a way that it may dissipate for us to revisit on our own terms, should we choose to.
Regardless, perhaps we all know that moment when during a hike or on vacation exploring islands unknown to us, or sometimes it comes as having skied already half the day, but it becomes apparent how beautiful the world is and that we’d been so wrapped in the wonder of it that we almost failed to notice.
It is a fleeting sensation and often it may feel like there is something that wants us to lose it. In any event, we don’t write as though claiming to be more endowed from our vantage point than anyone else is from theirs; and certainly would have no point of reference without Friends like you all—We do however fundamentally believe that it is most likely that, that profound sense of peace and a quiet joy that is associated with those moments in nature is that which best approximates what this world is meant to be.
That to escape the matrix may not be as much about insulting evil as it is recognizing as more supreme, the power of gentle fairness that could be described as motherly, or praus (meek) but that cannot find room to make its way through to us until we suspend disbelief that it exists; and begin to listen for it.
For these reasons we will be including translated and original sections of the Epic Poem of Finland, which is both beautifully simple in its poetry and encompassing of an ancient history of the world.
SECTION 2 - The Detechnocratic Promise of an Uninvading Natural Justice:
There may be no words capable of totaling the Force of Nature’s, however the Early Draft of our Republic’s Formation Document that is preserved in the handwriting of John Adams at the Massachusetts Historical Society, may be read many times before one fully appreciates it in that capacity. Where it becomes even more useful as a lens through which to analyze the final Engrossed Version of the Declaration of Independence that most of us are familiar with.
This type of comparison has of course been done before, such as may be found in the Journals of the Continental Congress at the Library of Congress (on pg. 491 which is page 76 of the PDF here), and in the Writings of Thomas Jefferson (on page 41 here). Though their focus necessarily differs from ours, which we will detail in a later article but wanted to share links to those documents with you now.
In prior articles we have described how the first three words prefixed to the head of the U.S. Constitution in its Preamble Clause were determined by the House of Representatives (1789) to most elegantly reference our Charter of Natural Rights included as part of the U.S.A. Formation, as well as the Absolute Authority of the People to Govern (Themselves) that the Declaration of 1776 instituted unchangeably forever. The legal name of our Republic being part of that Preamble highlighted as the bolded text below:
“ We, the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
- U.S. Constitution, Preamble (Prefixed Recitals Clause)[2]
In Part II we will further explore how the U.S. Constitution interacts with the Declaration but the focus of this article is to initiate that discussion, including the more clearly understandable meaning of our Republic’s Formation Document and the Charter of Natural Rights that it contains, through a comparison with the Early Draft as mentioned above.
For example, where the Early Draft more overtly admonishes slavery, the Engrossed Version recognizes every Black American and all Peoples native to these Lands as fellow citizens, coequals, friends, brothers and sisters, as well as indirectly cites the superior moral character of the Noble Savage; however, there is no way to recognize that language in the latter as such without first familiarizing ourselves with the former.
Though admittedly we need not go further than the historical record to know their efforts were not sufficient; and we may recognize ourselves that this has had devastating effects up to and including today, it is in fact true that many of the Cofounders fought politically for an end to slavery.
Reminding us that because we all agree that mutual care and consideration for Black Americans and those native to these Lands as our brothers and sisters who we love, and who are the only ones who may tell us which effects of slavery and war specifically persist today, as well as how we may contribute to finally addressing them; we would do whatever it was they determined in their sole discretion as required to demonstrate the true commitment to this resolution that we already know ourselves to possess.
Otherwise remaining acutely aware that a return to those circumstances is not beyond the realm of possibilities, as they say the risk of losing freedom preserved as the right to democratically administer our own laws, will always be less than one generation removed.
We believe once empowered by the Legally Enforceable truth of our Natural Rights, where this knowledge that has been hidden from us in plain sight, as remembered here we may again become the power of wisdom held in common among all Americans, as in capable of realizing the Promised Natural Rights as one Republic universally uniform and complete in this age,—rather than further forestalled until the next.
U.S.A. FORMATION: DRAFT (JUNE 28) [3]
1. “ The Equal and Independent Station” [Free and Equal Station of Earth]
2. “ That all [ Mankind ] are Created Equal and Independent” [Coequal]
3. “ We Mutually Pledge to Each Other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor” [Coequality Warranty]
4. “ He has waged cruel War against human Nature itself, violating its most sacred Rights of Life and Liberty in the Persons of a distant People who never offended him, captivating and carrying them into Slavery in another Hemisphere, or to incur miserable Death, in their Transportation thither:”
This clause is self explanatory though we note that the equivalent of the above clause as it appears in the Engrossed Version employs far less provocative, or “oratory” language as John Adams refers to it (here), which Abigail Adams laments having been removed (here), as not to include any of the language from this clause or the one that follows it (that we choose not to include on the basis of its negative reference to Christianity where we believe in the true freedom of our Great Rights of Conscience).
(U.S. CONSTITUTION: ORIGINAL) [4]
· “ We, the People...do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America” [establishes the Cause and Purpose of our Government is to protect the coequal enjoyment of the uncountable Natural Rights chartered by the Formation Document]
· “ The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.” [as “Equal Justice Under the Law” textured above the main entrance to our Supreme Court, and the Article of the Fourteenth (Amendment), including its Equal Protections Clause]
· “ The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government” [Mutual Guarantee Clause which mirrors the Coequality Warranty cited above]
In future articles we may explore how elements of the U.S. Constitution such as these are supplemented by our Original Plans of Government (Ratification Statements etc.), however, we do not envision exploring the Articles of Amendment except for illustrative purposes e.g., the unfortunate Form they took being appended yet effectively interwoven into the Constitution; resulting in precisely the sort of embarrassment the House of Representatives agreed would be inevitable (see Elbridge Gerry, MA here). Though none beg to differ because no one any longer comprehends that the Amendments would all be extraneous were we to take the time to understand why that is i.e., the Truth of our Formation as our Charter of Natural Rights and the Constitution as provisioning for Governments as Representative-Democracy (”Republican Form of Government” as per James Madison) composed of Offices that are strictly limited by the Bill of Powers that defines them, as to exist for the sole purpose of ensuring our Supreme Right to Govern (Self Governance) for the coequal optionality to enjoy our Natural Rights.
That is, in at least one way only the first four Articles of the original (unamended) Constitution together with the Declaration of Independence are needed to demonstrate everything else completely; save for the extremely unlikely scenario where our Offices of our General Government (rather than the Local or State Offices regulated by their own Constitutions, noting the Supremacy Clause and Articles of the Ninth & Tenth amendments etc.), be deemed as no longer required. Though in the meantime we suffer from the “very considerable embarrassment” (Elbridge Gerry) that is an empty pale or sunfish sailboat size hole in the bottom of our understanding, that the more noble gentlemen (in the generic sense) who came before the fluidhumen library with wings and the name that is so beautiful it arrests one as though knelt before her:
“ If nature could produce noble humans who lived in freedom from want and oppression nature could be glorified. The American Indian was to become an exhibit in the debate about nature that would inform and influence both conservative and liberal tendencies in the West for centuries”.... and “in French sauvage and in English ‘savage’ ... whatever its original meaning, has come to mean ‘cruel’. However, when Europeans were originally observing the true nature of the American Indians, they drew conclusions based on one of the two premises. The first perspective was the Europeans’ beleif that American Indians were ‘noble savages,’ while the second held that they were ‘brutal savages.’ - Oren Lyons, Exiled In The Land of the Free (here). [11]
A matter itself that alone demands the Senate redeem its own body by moving into conformance with the Laws of these Lands that would never have conduced the decimation of our Original Plans for Government that was perpetrated in 1789 (see here); although no harm, no foul as long as they seize this opportunity to circulate the presents made by James Madison on June 8, 1789 to the States for their consideration.
Noting the reason one discovers utilization of the Early Draft works so well as a lens, is that it reveals the Engrossed Version retains the prior’s meaning and even improves upon some of its substance, beyond that which may otherwise be understood. That may be generalized as the simplification and other legal tweaks to Form, rather than Substance, that one would expect as undergoing the scrutiny of Congress before becoming the Legal Instrument that is so universally celebrated we often fail to pause long enough to appreciate it for what it is:
1. Sociocultural elements invariably coming through language of the Formation Document of our Republic, this State, the United States of America; were tempered in the revision process that took place between the Earlier Draft and the Engrossed Version;
2. Becoming less poetic but more precise and understandably resembling something other than the typical legalese we find in modern Legal Instruments; due to the subject matter and sacred profound truth of nature’s design that it flows with-fore and from;
3. Though here we are less concerned with the above two points than we are with references to the Savage Nobles of both the Americas and Warriors of the African continent found in the U.S.A. Formation and U.S. Constitution;
4. That is, where we may readily recognize that thereby our Formation the ancient ancestral Central Authorities of Nature were reinstituted; whereas, Self Governance was instated for perhaps the first time, though without invoking any Gendered or Sectarian Gods and thus provisioning for Coequal Expression of our Great Liberties of Choice and the Native Justice of that Natural Law.
That, the Cause of Government itself is that End its own which Federalist No. 51 cites (pg. 121 which is pg. 123 of the PDF here), and we characterize as a collaboration between the personalities of Alexander Hamilton and James Madison (Madison-Hamiltonian). Though noting this curious conclusion both strikingly wants of the question as to why John Jay was less well positioned to contribute than more; as well as what exactly is meant by the statement that “Justice is the End of Government.”
We allude to the inference that because John Jay was such a good Christian in the way he consistently advocated for the abolition of slavery, and that the Government the U.S. Constitution provisions for was designed to provide incrementally for the decimation of that sick trade, he could not necessarily confer with regards to the more Aristotelian conclusions of a Madisonian-Hamiltonian perspective.
Admitting these points are more speculative as reguarding of the essence of our existence and in accolade to the Formation as the primary celebrant of our self-assumed cause. That coincides as both the most interesting question in the world and the one we’re currently privileged as one whole Republic to contemplate:
i.e., Whether the assertion that we are incapable of self governance as a species is a fallacy or not.
Answerable perhaps by all those of us willing to move for the Preservation of Earth (Life) and the Protectorates of Nature (Earthkind) as the Living Free and Coequal Station of every Good Being, except themselves, as with a firm reliance that as is empirically true by the ecology of the ecoregions of the earth, there are others who would and do as well for theirs.
As such with the quiet knowing that we have or in-deed the Declaration will arrive.
Where in the words of one wise woman here on Substack, as said to us, the only solution to a zero sum game is to stop playing.
In any event, we may remind one another that where we perceive each other at present or at sometime in history to have been less than morally sound; that is, relatively more in possession of some awareness to recognize the lesser evil, would be worse as withholding information serving to enlighten us than those who were less informed or otherwise possessed (as was the rule which superintended those who gathered in the French Salons of the Enlightenment). Perhaps even embracing that we might be as bad where we believed that to be true, as in every vantage point being accretive to a more whole perspective, as well as that anyone who is truly troubled, is more than likely fighting a battle far more savage than we may even Imagine, yet withheld to ourselves the insights we considered ourselves in possession of as superior or at least complementary:
i.e., Judging others for what we perceive them as lacking without reaching out, not necessarily with an offer to assist them, but for redress of our grievances (see e.g., Abraham Lincoln’s correspondence with Confederate leadership, the orders general Lafayette gave Alexander Hamilton at Yorktown here) would be worse than where we were affected by some ill spirit that made us ignorant aggressors.
In contemplation of the possibility that on the one hand, those who mobilized against the slave traders as to destroy rather than resist and heal them without needing to compromise our view the abolition thereof was as urgent as its persistence was appalling, may have been the ones at least as coopted by the ill-spirit of a partisan and therefore acutely incomplete political perspective, as in perpetuating violence against both the kind-red Enthean noble savages (or Indians) of the Americas and the Earthean Black Warriors against war of the African continent.
That is, as brothers and sisters manipulated into action against ourselves as violence toward each other. Something that could never have happened if those by their own estimation less affected by that partisan spirit, had not let down those they estimated were more affected by abandoning them to the ignorance or solitude of their state.
Such that we may consider even whilst faced with our own anxieties today, the impetus to judge others can be recognized not only as less than what we ought to do, for the good of what is right; but in fact where the alternative is the cause of our age itself.
Or, that to play the zero sum games of war and partisan politics is as to expose ourselves to the path that by design we will lose every time we play them.
I personally resented the comment that the only way to win a zero sum game was to stop playing it and the insinuation that the counter-arguments I proposed, were just ways of talking myself around that fact. However, some number of days later I managed to recognize, at least intellectually and aspirationally that the woman who made the comments was right. She may never know and though I may still wonder from time to time whether I’ve stopped playing it; I feel as though I’ve made progress along the path back into harmony with something more real.
That, in this day and as commencing the next Age, we may be at least as intellectually aware of the pitfalls that are certain to exist when we take approaches that have failed us as a nation in the past, as we are ignorant to new ideas such as that Complexity is Diversity amongst the Creatures of the ecosystems of this earth. Furthermore, that where that gap may not appear to require a bridge too far, we may be tasked this time to apply the same magnanimous generosity across the landscape of other beings of earthkind which altogether with us, amount to the Protectorates of Nature and the Preservation of Earth, as that “Separate and Equal Station” that our Cofounders and Fore Elders assumed by their avowed commitment to it made in the final clause of the Republic’s Formation Document.
At the same time, appreciating that the assertion that our laws already provide for the realization of the Coequal Station as yet perfected (in a legal sense) the Promise of our Republic, wants of the question why then have we suffered the extremes of the unnatural inequity that have occurred in the past, and as well as presenting as though threatening to reemerge today.
Noting further that the answer may simply be that as Choice is the elemental quality of the Living Station, we must make the decision to embrace the full coequality of others as re-declaring it to one another, the Members of this Republic who are coequally vested with the Powers of Government, including those who hold our Offices of Government.
i.e., That we haven’t told our Representatives in Congress that this is simply the way that it is.
In addition, where that answer feels unsatisfying in the context of today’s state of affairs, we may explore the more tangible possibility that prior to the Information Age the most profound truths of our Formation and Constitution were not as generally nor readily available as they are today.
Furthermore, that the politicians who filled many of the seats in Congress and particularly in the Senate, which prior to 1913 were filled by appointments made by the State-Legislatures, as opposed to the general elections of today; that they were by default more concerned with their own influential relationships than the truth that the Powers of Government are indefeasibly reserved to the People of this Republic, who delegate temporarily between terms as well as otherwise conditionally limited by the Bill of Powers that provisions for Government itself i.e., the U.S. Constitution.
Without needing to mention that any Public Servant who volunteers to Serve as aspiring to Hold an Office of our Government would necessarily (as a matter of logic) need to give up the Independent aspect of their Equal and Independent Station, because one could not truthfully hold any Office representing its constituents unless they subordinated their self-interest to that general Cause of the People, at least in actions of an Official capacity.
Though where one supposes themselves to be Equal but not Independent, or Free, the reality is that one state cannot be said to exist without the other except for where it is genuinely surrendered.
Thus it becomes exceedingly difficult to make a credible assertion that those who choose to serve do not subordinate themselves to that of the Members of this Republic, as the coequal Inhabitants of these Lands, where Natural Law presides and Nature’s Being may set us Free as to move for the unlimited and sustainable Polysomic-Dynamism of the earth.
Something which may not be even conceptually possible e.g., with regards to Systems Theory et cetera, unless God was indeed both the Universe and an individual Being capable of unleashing us to that freedom.
Regardless, where there is no room for the assertion that the Offices of Government provisioned for by the U.S. Constitution that cites as its very own purpose the Absolute Supremacy of the Individually-Collective Right to Self Govern “for the United States of America.”
Subsisting under the current circumstances further explainable by the fact that we’ve experienced a period of relative domestic tranquility that emerged with the Civil Rights movement, only now finding ourselves upon the threshold of an Azure Dawn and in the eye of a technocratic storm that provides for the tensions necessary to realize the Promise of our nation as a new berth of freedom for all.
Such that the dynamic plasticity of an unalienable Right to Self Govern as the Republic itself and perhaps the Constitution in its relation to the Formation thereof; if not its Fifth Article pertaining to Conventions and Amendments, need be remembered by the general population of this Country today.
That is, with a sense of urgency that is exacerbated by the fact that a status quo of an anxiety in the form of a cause that those who have accumulated financial capital find themselves struggling to internally justify themselves as meritocratically in receipt thereof for their own use alone, regardless of how few if any of those less financially endowed wish to take it from them or see it forcefully redistributed.
Our incentive to take the steps to finally realize our Republic’s promise of Natural Rights as in conformance with the Natural Law of Native Coequality and Private Justice made between the individual and Creator as self-evidently known to them, is for the Good of what is Right and True therefore beautiful.
That the recognition of this whole perfection of our true human nature, is the Cause itself of both our age and in-deed the General Government of our Union. As aspiring to evolve with the times by moving for the sake of making the difference individually in our thoughts and actions moving thus and there for the sake of the Greater Good’s own sake, rather than as to despatch some lesser evil of ourselves.
SECTION 3 - Abigail Adams is More than Likely to Have Been an Author of the Declaration.
The prior Sections are not written to suggest the mind and intellect have no place, whereas assessments as to our own circumstances and the best thing to do at any given moment is more or less intertwined with who and what we are. For example, as to whether Thomas Jefferson may be counted among those good and just Cofounders of our Republic and co-creators of our Offices of Government with the People, it is our opinion that the evidence on balance just won’t allow for that assessment.
Recognizing that we could easily be mistaken and that there are numerous others who will have the alternative opinion, we relent to the possibility that we are biased (though we indeed are) because Alexander Hamilton is our more favored historical figure.
Even as performing an exposition of the facts and ‘letting them speak for themselves’ and failing still to catch ourselves in the breath of our own point, we might turn to one Mrs. Martha Washington who it has been said:
“ Towards the end of her life, Martha Washington harbored no warm feelings for Thomas Jefferson. A guest at Mount Vernon in 1802 wrote that ‘she spoke of the election of Mr. Jefferson, whom she considered as one of the most detestable of mankind, as the greatest misfortune our country had ever experienced.’ Connecticut governor John Cotton Smith wrote that ‘next to the loss of her husband,’ Thomas Jefferson’s 1801 visit to Mount Vernon was ‘the most painful occurrence of her life.’ “ - www.WashingtonPapers.org [5]
Whereas, even though Thomas Jefferson may not be cited as having the courage to preside during his presidency in such a way that precluded the expansion of the slave trade as well as the size of our claims upon this country’s land, in such a way that resembled an uncomfortably familiar imperialism (to say the least), we may note that while most were understandably preoccupied with the threat of torture and death for treason under the laws of the British-Crown at that time, Thomas Jefferson was not.
His actions capable of being characterized as courageous where we don’t reduce ourselves to contemplating the dangers he may have exposes others to. Further acknowledging that his account of the Debates of the Declaration of Independence explicating it as thoroughly irrevocable and further reinforcing our notion that the Right to Instruct our Representatives is fundamental to the Republican Form of Government (Representative-Democracy) that is Mutually Guaranteed by the united States (U.S. Constitution, Article 4, Section IV), as well as accounts of the attempt on general Washington’s life and use of small pox as biological warfare in Quebec are all indispensible contributions to our understanding of history and appreciation for our circumstances today.
That the Papers of James Madison were brought to Congress only after he had passed, inclusive of a Cover Letter written by Mrs. Dolly Madison to the Office of President (see here) relaying that secrecy was by design and agreement among some number of those who we may count as Cofounders.
That is to suggest that whilst Thomas Jefferson embellished and advertised his role in drafting the Declaration even prior to its public release (e.g., here) and may have been involved in Broadsiding the world with its early release, John Adams and others took great care to disguise their involvement in revolutionary activities for the protection of their friends and family (see Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty, Powder Alarm of 1774, Shay’s Rebellion, etc.,), even in this manner years after American Independence had been secured (see e.g., here), such as:
“ Cushing, two Adamses, and Paine, all destitute of fortune, four poor pilgrims, proceeded in one coach, were escorted through Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey, into Pennsylvania. We were met at Frankfort by Dr. Rush, Mr. Mifflin, Mr. Bayard, and several other of the most active sons of liberty in Philadelphia, who desired a conference with us.”
- John Adams, The Works of John Adams Papers (1850).[6] ‘
Such that even where we set aside as a curious mistranscription, the fact that “too adams’s” appears in the Founders Online database in place of “two Adamses,” we cannot bring ourselves to assume that either as merely a matter of convention that John Adams is referring to a party including himself and his cousin Samuel Adams in the third person; because both being Delegates to the Second Continental congress, it appears were already in Philadelphia at that time.
Furthermore, being unable to ascertain who the “two Adamses” were from the text cited here alone, we may turn to other sources as a way of triangulation. Noting that where Abigail and John Adams can be observed to have exchanged letters nearly every two days, a gap occurs from June 3 to June 16, 1776 as observable here. Furthermore, that Abigail Adams wrote to John on March 16, 1776, “orders are given to our Army to hold themselves in readiness to March at a moments warning. I’ll meet you at Philippi said the Ghost of Caesar to Brutus” (here).
A statement that stands out to us as having come to admire and respect Mrs. Adams characteristically elusive genius and particular style, including her contributions to the use of a cipher in later correspondence with John. As well as one that becomes more relevant to our assertion that she was more likely than not directly involved with drafting the Formation Document of our American Republic, when considering the timeline for declaring independence (as here).
Especially when considered in conjunction with references to Shakespeare contained throughout correspondence, between John and Abigail Adams where Abigail Adams signs off “Portia” (the famed wife of Brutus) some 249 times for a total of 373 together with others referring to her by that name as discoverable in the Founders Archives Online (as here); and the 38 references to Brutus by John Adams in his personal Diaries and Letters as discoverable there in the same archive (here). That is, that Abigail’s reference to “Philippi” is a discrete reference to Philadelphia and that she is one of the “two Adamses” who John Adams refers to.
This might all be rather circumstantial and in any case moot but for the Early Draft of the Declaration of Independence preserved in the handwriting of John Adams (here), which includes references to “the last stab” that most of us know by the line “Et tu, Brute?” (or Brutus; Act 3, Scene 1 of William Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” as discussed here).
Without suggesting that the we ought to read the Declaration of Independence as reduced to the musings of Shakespeare lovers; but that to “clothe them in a proper dress” of Shakespeare was perhaps deemed appropriate if for no other reason than the poetic justice of such an irony i.e., that William Shakespeare was English and their King was thereby compared to the tyrant Julius Caesar, as well as insinuated as destined to a certain fate:
“ The committee of independence were Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston. The committee had several meetings, in which were proposed articles of which the declaration was to consist, and minutes of made of them. The committee then appointed Mr. Jefferson and me to draw them up in form, and clothe them in a proper dress. The subcommittee met, and considered the minutes, making such observation on them as then occurred, when Mr. Jefferson desired me to take them to my lodging, and make the draught. This I declined, and gave several reasons for declining.

We cannot account for why the theory that Abigail Adams was a principal author of the Declaration of Independence, one that conforms with the principle of parsimony which suggests the simplest answer is more often than not the correct one, may not have been put forward prior to us doing so here. Nor can we explain why the Thomas Paine Historical Association (citing Harvard University as well as AI) is more convinced the initials “T.P.” that appear on the so called Sherman Copy refer to one Thomas Paine (see here) as opposed to one Robert Treat Paine who is said to have been among the “four poor pilgrims” who “proceeded in one coach” to Philadelphia. Though the two oversights may be related in some way that we’ll leave you as readers to infer yourselves or not.
That said, the evidence reported here representing a subset of those facts we will tabulate in the next article, we suppose that in one way or another, explanations as to many of these questions run the same gamut as the one explaining why we’re as yet on the threshold of a new dawn to be shone as our own humanity having at last risen that “they will see us waving from such great heights:” [8]
“ I have sometimes been ready to think that the passion for Liberty cannot be Eaquelly Strong in the Breasts of those who have been accustomed to deprive their fellow Creatures of theirs. Of this I am certain that it is not founded upon that generous and christian principal of doing to others as we would that others should do unto us.”
- Abigail Smith to John Adams (31 March 1776) [9]
SECTION 4 - Onward in the Unwritten Chapters of Unlimitedly Shared Futures:
We have previously described the dissolution of the Roman Republic into an Empire in 27 BCE as the event preceding approximately 1,803 years without a State of Free People amongst all those of Western civilization, and culminating in universal Human Farming of 97% of the population subject to monastic dictatorships during the 1600s and 1700s until July 4, 1776. Relatedly, history holds the Civil War as being about more than slavery alone, despite Abraham Lincoln himself having conveyed to Confederate leaders on more than one occasion that he was willing to concede on every point except that one.
In fact, there is evidence not only that the Declaration of Independence was about slavery but that the Convention of 1787 during which we drafted the U.S. Constitution, was too. As well as the Declaration of Rights and Grievances (1765), Articles of Association (1774), and perhaps most convincingly that it was the primary impetus for the journey from the Old World to this one that was New to us i.e., escaping States of Human Farming for the establishment of a new one protecting rather than violating our Great Liberties of Conscience (see here).
Though it may be true that John Jay was among the staunchest advocates for abolition among the Cofounders, as a broader contingent it was America’s Women who most consistently and actively advocated for an end to slavery:
“ I wish most sincerely there was not a slave in the province. It always appeared a most iniquitous Scheme to me–to fight ourselves for what we are daily robbing and plundering from those who have as good a right to freedom as we have—you know my mind upon this subject.”
- Abigail Adams to John Adams, 22 September 1774[10]
Concluding that the anxieties of today are the result of the persistence of an unfulfilled promise of Natural Rights, made “mutually and to each other” as coequally pledged on that day in 1776 when we became one nation of a People in pursuit of our inherent Native Coequality, and yet that remains less than fully realized to-day. Though as a People naturally flowing with the Earthly Events of our time, now capable of bringing to ultimate fruition that promise, as no longer emergent from some Den of Lions; but instead as emerged from a Cave of Bears forthwith and fore our Mothers Earth and Nature.
For as “ an act of the legislature, repugnant to the Constitution, is void” (Marshall, C.J.), “an act against natural equity is void,” (John Adams), because the Cause of Government itself is to protect the coequal enjoyment of our uncountable Natural Rights, which flows as the Natural Justice and Common Law, or “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” common to all.
Such that the Central Authorities of Nature, or by Design, Her Laws and the Laws of Her Being, compose the core precept to our shared American Identity that stands as wavering in the balance currently. Though they are observable (empirically) to be an Inherent, or Native to all Inhabitants of the State of Nature, the coequal Members of this American Republic. That, neither the Declaration of Independence nor the ancient Greco-Roman City-States of the Mediterranean Archipelago make any distinction between Citizens and Inhabitants as to the protections of Natural Law, where the latter are even said to have expressly recognized this Law as common to all beings, be no surprise.
Altogether asserting that thus and there for, we must be at least secured and on a prima facie basis that it is self-evident we possess a Natural Right to protect the earthkind of Nature and the Natural World of which itself we are all part, as well as and which may be our true human nature.
Somewhat separately noting that, accepting that there may indeed be real Policy reasons for State investment in the Technology Sector, where it is conducted without commensurate protections as to the Equality of Opportunity of the Democratic-Republicans of these United States, in conformity with Natural Law, it would be void as repugnant to the U.S. Constitution and the U.S.A. Formation, as in-deed those two documents, our own Humanity.
Perhaps asking ourselves, that if we mean to assume the Free and Equal Station of Earth as our Cofounders did, what is humankind’s natural role in the ecosystems of the earth?
“ Happy are the towns that, as their individuals, who have not yet taken their place! They alone can strive for unanimous laws profound and wise.” - Tableau de Paris
Enjoying the Health and Wellbeing that come with a sense of purpose as part of our Orchestral conductors’ shared Home, and working together with our Friends among all species for the Ever Vernal four seasonal movements of one Living Station. That where “the Supreme Judge of the world” defends the Natural Rights of all earthkind, including us where we participate as with this truth.
We may know them to be certainly in hand, and as ourselves approaching the future as a Republic reaching beyond the superficial limits of political parties, instead perhaps refocusing ourselves on attending to the Guardens of the earth that we all Inhabit.
Even contemplating new possibilities such as that of an aspirational form of evolution, being one that cooperates not by outwitting the supreme collaboratively-general Natural Intelligence of our true Nature; but as rather than reducing ourselves and other Creatures to those ‘fittest’ the negative catalyst as determining survival, instead aspiring to the greatest and most generous versions of ourselves.
Whereas, if the vow of our Formation Document renews as approximate to a Creation Pact with Nature’s Truth, which we are dependent upon for our “Conditions of Existence” (Early Draft here), does the assumption of our Role among the Coequal and Free Inhabitants of the cooperating and overlapping ecosystems of the earth, call for something different today. For example, to resist the surge of unnatural influences expressing as tools and other mechanical technologies that are in all ways immeasurably inferior to an unlimited generally collaborative Nurturing Intelligence of Mother Earth and Mother Nature, Man, and Woman in addition to all Earthkind, as Creation, Creatures, and Creator.
Though everything in this Introduction to the Guardeners of the Guarden as For the Ever misty sounds along the Narrow Shores of an Isthmus between here and there, are shared for their relevance and in one way or another as part of our own learning process. Such that this time we find ourselves as having drawn very few definitive conclusions, at least in relatative (relative) proportion to the questions that have arisen in the writing of this article.
Even where the above are relatively certain truths, the inevitable margin of error will perfectly counter us until we rebase our Measures in Aristotelian Means i.e., as missing Cartesian Axes that operate both as midpoints (or averages) and ways (or paths) back into harmony with “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” (Being, or Truth).
That other figures appealing more secularly to homo religiosus have been cited for something similar, Aristotle operates as to jokingly embarrass (archaic sense) nearly everyone, though never stumping anyone; yet every contemporary interpretation appears as though unable to discern her meaning; but for Harvard University’s which appears (genuinely or not) to detour from the path of the others so wildly as to insinuate they know the truth, that:
Where a buyer exchanges goods for money with a seller, the former is always better off by the sum of their benefits and costs; but where goods are exchanged for goods, total combined costs will always be disproportionately less than the sum of their mutual benefits.
That where the current system may be characterized as Hamiltonian, the more original formulation would be Smithsonian; and in that case the right hand is always more dominant than the one that is not right.
Ergo the introduction of Ecosystem-health Derived Units (EDUS) as measures serving Environmental and Natural Resource Economics anchored models, as compliments to our existing forms of money i.e., as employing natural resources as their bases of issue; may be recognized as more uniformly complete as universally whole.
That the profound truth of our Formation is that Creation is the Sŏl discretion of our Nature—with a firm reliance on our Creation Pact for the Constitution of ourselves into a Nation of Peoples—but we rely on Earth for our Conditions of Existence.
Though to what extent, we simply cannot know without you, yet we thank you and the Universe for joining us along a path made by walking back into harmony with the whole perfection of Nature’s Symphony. And as always remembering that it’s not the flying that makes us happy, but the happy thought that makes us Fly ‘

Hello
Firstly, it’s Linda and thank you for leading me here. The first thing I saw was that you have made this essay very hard for ordinary Americans to follow, It is at Academic standards - and full kudos to you and it is also something I have trouble with, so I would lighten up the language to reach a bigger audience - just my opinion.
Where it does interest me, is that you are talking of freedom and perhaps, uprising - and that is what needs to happen. This Trump Administration and the Republican Party will never give up power - they have, in fact, done everything they can, to retain power and have made it public knowledge.
However, the main policy being pushed is about requiring documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration, such as a passport, birth certificate, or similar citizenship document. A federal judge has just permanently blocked major parts of Trump’s executive order, ruling that the president does not have constitutional authority to impose those election rules by executive order; election administration belongs primarily to the states and Congress.
I still have major concerns over the gutting of major institutions, the education now being workforce education versus academic education - I wonder what suburbs or places that will affect?, Medicaid which has already closed many hospitals and Elderly Rest-homes and will continue to trend like this, cutting of childhood vaccinations in schools and the disinformation surrounding vaccinations - there are eventually going to be major breakouts of these diseases, they have already occurred and 3 children have died as a result - this is going to affect the poor, those with major inequalities, the elderly, and the disadvantaged - they will be the first ones to die, the Pro-life versus Pro-baby - this argument is absolutely fucked - they have taken away the “vitamin k” needle every new born baby needs to live - without this needle it can cause major bleeding in the brain and death or major developmental delays - it is not a vaccination, it is something that newborn babies need for survival - once again, who suffers, the poor, the disadvantaged, people with inequalities and those who are uneducated.
There is so much I could say here but I won’t because I realise you already understand what I am talking of. I am not American but have lived in the country for around 3 years. What I do say is “Wake The Fuck Up, Americans, Otherwise You May Not Have a Democracy.”
