#Art alone will not save the world; only #humanaction can drive meaningful change. Art can inspire, but only if it’s free from a dubious agenda. The #artmarket can feel like a trap for artists who don’t understand economics. Understanding your needs and values helps align your integrity with your principles, ensuring you’re not consumed or used by the system. After studying #Austrianeconomics the history of #fiat money, and why saving in #Bitcoin is a must, my perspective shifted. I now take more deliberate actions, making choices that contribute to society in a more conscious and wholesome way. If you want to know where to start, give me a holler—I’ll gladly share a list of resources to help you on your journey.

I meditate every morning and sometimes during the day to realign myself. I’ve been practicing this for a couple of decades, and it provides a space where my mind isn’t racing—a space of quietude where I can also “program” my desires on all levels: physical, emotional, and mental, with specific intentions. This morning, I did a particularly powerful meditation focused on where I see myself a year from now. I’ve done this, more or less, every year at the end of September for the past six years, and I must say—it works! I’m very precise about how I want to feel and what that looks like. Over the last four years, #bitcoin has been at the core, and in the last two years, #austrianeconomics has been a major focus. The central themes are always #freedom, #humility, #service, and #beinganinspiration. If you meditate, how does it work for you? Do you visualize? Do you tap into your imagination? For me, #imagination is key. As a visual artist, it’s part of the process of conceiving both large and small projects that eventually materialize. #journal #stories

Celebrating the birthday of Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973)! “Every socialist is a disguised dictator.” “Government is the only institution that can take a valuable commodity like paper, and make it worthless by applying ink.” “Man acts because he is never fully satisfied and will never cease to strive for the removal of uneasiness as long as he lives.” Many writings and books @misesinstitute #austrianschoolofeconomics #ludwigvonmises #bitcoin #humanaction

From x nick sortor #northcarolina 🚨 ALERT: Asheville, NC is a TOTAL blackout zone, so we’ve set up TWO Starlink Stations for Public Use Even NC State Police aren’t able to connect to cellular networks, so they’re using our Starlinks now. SPOT 1: DoubleTree Hilton Downtown 199 Haywood SSID: SORTOR STARLINK @ChrisHallWx and I have had these up and running for an hour, and I lost count of the amount of people that’ve told us they’ve FINALLY been able to connect with friends and family and let them know they’re okay 🙂 I’m sure this post will have someone run up my data bill just to troll me, but so be it.

#Integrity is the measure by which a person of #principles evaluates themselves, with #morals and #ethos shaping the guiding framework for behavior. These four cardinal axes—integrity, principles, morals, and ethos—correspond to the subjective-objective parameters that define #humanaction Principles are foundational as they serve as the bedrock of our moral compass, guiding us through life’s challenges and choices. Integrity is the internal consistency between our actions and our principles. It reflects our commitment to uphold our values, even when it’s difficult or inconvenient. Ethos represents the character and guiding beliefs of an individual or community. It encompasses the cultural and social influences that shape how we justify and perceive our actions. Morality defines our understanding of right and wrong, shaped by personal experiences and societal norms. It acts as a set of ethical guidelines that steer our behavior in harmony with broader societal values.

Designing the cover was fun. Though I tried to strip away the color to give more space to the words, in the end, I realized that color is integral to my perception, as I use it to contrast the possibilities inherent in polarities, aspects, and that third element that arises when one confronts deep emotional wounds. The shapes are part of my artistic practice, always channeling the ancestors before me, who had the courage and knowledge to show me part of the way. The Nature of my Reality: everything I need is in my body WRITTEN + ILLUSTRATED BY MONIKA BRAVO - CO-PRODUCED + EDITED BY MARI BUDLONG​ Published by Studio of Endless Ideas, 2024 THIS 4-COLOR, 8”X5” POCKET-SIZED BOOK INCLUDES 240 PAGES FILLED WITH ANECDOTES AND VIBRANT VECTORIZED ILLUSTRATIONS. This book traces my journey from disempowerment to self-awareness through the lenses of Human Design and Evolutionary Astrology—a language of numbers, harmonics, and planetary cycles interpreted through myth. While it is not a study of these languages, readers can certainly learn from their unique perspectives on their own individuation journey of liberation from generational and personal trauma. Within these frameworks, I also explore the historical roots of economic systems, the origins of banking, and their connections to political and ecclesiastical authority. Written in a non-linear, deeply personal, and self-reflective style, the book invites readers to create space for their own reflection. The illustrations are playful, adding a unique visual element to the text. My philosophy integrates Eastern, ancestral, and cosmological traditions with psychological inquiry, praxeology, and Austrian economics, emphasizing liberty, value, resources, and self-worth in the pursuit of individual and societal service.

Good morning, Mr. Wind and Mrs. Storm—please be kind to Florida today. #hurricane #helene

You don't become a libertarian by hiring a PR firm. It requires unconditioning your mind and educating yourself on property rights—especially relevant for someone who's been profiting off our data. It could happen, but he needs proof of work. —- Mark Zuckerberg now identifies as a libertarian and has reportedly hired a Republican PR firm to help rehabilitate his image and repair his relationship with Trump

Had a great conversation with @DJ Valerie B LOVE🩷 yesterday on a live stream—we talked about #astrology as a language, I did a brief reading of her chart live, and we discussed being an artist, writing a book, and contributing to the #Bitcoin space. https://www.youtube.com/live/J6jv7sSWlGw?si=-64WuN3RJ6Y3EZ3N View quoted note →

"Man is subject to the passing of time. He comes into existence, grows, becomes old, and passes away. His time is scarce. He must economize it as he does other scarce factors. The economization of time has a peculiar character because of the uniqueness and irreversibility of the temporal order. The importance of these facts manifests itself in every part of the theory of action." Ludwig von Mises, #HumanAction #scarcity #bitcoin

Last Call for a Signed Book: In the coming weeks, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase directly from the printer, allowing you to save on shipping and credit card fees. As I write about value, worth, freedom, and liberation, I encourage everyone to be mindful of the current broken fiat monetary system. In line with this, I’m applying first principles by accepting payments in #Bitcoin #Lightning and Zelle with no additional fees. Credit cards, on the other hand, diminish our time and value, so if you choose to pay by card, you will need to cover those fees. As a self-published author, I’m grateful to have been partially funded by the Miami Individual Artists Program.

Good morning, fellow earthlings. There are many ways to reconnect with our inner selves and the unconscious—music, creativity, and self-reflection being just a few. I would like to recommend my dear friend Ellery’s “Song of Self” online workshop. Read through the article where I discuss more about it, and Ellery shares his insights as well. https://open.substack.com/pub/elleryjamesroberts/p/story-of-the-song-lament?r=5pgjp&utm_medium=ios @Ellery James Roberts

Today, 30 years ago, (when i was 30) I arrived in the United States of America, the land of the free. Thirty years later, I am grateful for the person I have become. During this journey, I spent the first 27 years in NYC developing my artistic and spiritual practice, and over the last four years in Miami Beach, I have begun to understand what freedom truly means and how to stand for it. Many relationships have come and gone, but what has remained is a true connection to what ignites my light—the evolutionary process. Sovereignty is not just a hashtag; it is a practice. I am grateful for my inalienable rights and to the Divine Creator. #bitcoin

Eclipses: I was touched by the spirit, and touched by the flame: (audio) // AI: summary: This week is significant with the first of two eclipses happening September 17-18. It's a time for deep introspection, as the full moon eclipse offers an opportunity to confront what one projects onto others, encouraging a deeper integration of emotional and spiritual selves. With the Sun in Virgo and the Moon conjunct Neptune in Pisces, there’s a merging of the inner world with a higher spiritual source, allowing for a realignment with one’s true path/purpose. As Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn, I find myself reflecting on the past 16 years, reassessing how my soul path has transformed. Meanwhile, Mars in Cancer stirs the emotional body, initiating the courage to pursue one’s purpose and connect deeply with it. Additionally, the nodes of the Moon are squaring my natal nodes, marking a crucial initiation where I’m called to open my heart and support others in their spiritual journeys. Being a guest at Breedlove’s Podcast: So, the news this week is that my episode with @Robert Breedlove came out. It’s a solid three hours of a beautiful conversation where we touched on time, space, astrology, etymology, and mythology. I was brave enough to watch it yesterday, and I feel I come across as serene, yielding, and capable of holding space. This is huge for me, as these are patterns I’ve worked on for a long time, and they are now blossoming. Once upon a time, I was arrogant, with fixed views and flaunting my knowledge. By following this ecology of practices—Evolutionary astrology, human design, shadow work, humming, and human action—I was able to transform my arrogance into something more grounded. These tools helped me navigate the relationship between the unconscious-mythological-symbolic and the logical, conscious practice of human action. I’ve learned to embody a more open and reflective presence. Bitcoin, in its own way, mirrors this potential for transformation, offering a path to deeper self-awareness and action. Be the light you want in this world. Till soon! P.S. Don’t be shy—do comment below. I love comments of all kinds. Cheers!
