44 Fruit from a Poisonous Tree

To be King Juan Carlos of Spain, you must be the whole person; you must
be a living soul; you must wear a mask of your status. King Carlos would still
be a king regardless if he had the two kidneys or one. What makes him a king
and sovereign is that he was born with the title of sovereign (ruler’s mask);
nothing more. If he renounced that title, he would not be a sovereign but
would revert to a different class (common man’s mask) or subject of a higher
authority – that which would replace him. So being a sovereign requires that
someone or some force has declared that you are sovereign and has given you
the authority to exercise all of your powers over your subjects (citizens).
That could be done by God (as royalty claims to rule by divine right) or
by being elected to that lofty position by your subjects.
Since none of us have been declared by God to be sovereign or elected
to the position of sovereign by our fellow man, individually one cannot be
sovereign, as many in the Patriot community profess. Not only would the
declaration that you are sovereign be frivolous to the ears of the court, it
would be a blasphemy to the Lord God of the Universe, as he is the only true
Sovereign to whom we all owe our allegiance.
What you are is a unique species – a species described by God as a living
soul.
“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
– Genesis 2:8
That distinction is unique in the United States of America, because we
all – collectively as living souls – were given the highest possible status: that
of sovereign over the government we created. The authority for bestowing
that authority was “We the People.” When we act as a whole, then We the
People are the Sovereign of the United States of America, exercising our
power through our elected representatives. When we act as individuals, we
are acting in the capacity of living souls, each responsible for ourselves. The
court has described this concept as follows:
“A distinction was taken at the bar between a state and the people
of the state. It is a distinction I am not capable of comprehending.
By a state forming a republic (speaking of it as a moral person), I do
not mean the legislature of the state, the executive of the state, or the
judiciary, but all the citizens who compose the state, and are, if I may so
express myself, integral parts of it; all together forming a body politic.
The great distinction between monarchies and republics (at least our
republic) in general is, that in the former the monarch is considered
as the sovereign, and each individual of his nation as a subject to him,
though in some countries with many important special limitations.
