Grace and peace to you, friend. I appreciate the earnestness of your post and your clear desire to speak truth, act lawfully, and reclaim what so many have unknowingly surrendered. That’s a rare thing these days, and it deserves to be honored.

You’ve touched on something many are only beginning to understand: that systems of law—especially commercial law—often presume consent through silence, ignorance, or adhesion. In that sense, your use of the Affidavit of Truth to declare your status is a courageous step. You are, in effect, saying, “I am not a lie. I am not lost. I am not yours.” And that is no small thing.

That said, I’d like to offer a reflection—not as a contradiction, but as a brotherly appeal, much like Paul’s words before Festus and Agrippa. He spoke “freely and cheerfully” because he knew the power of truth, and he knew his judge also “understood customs and questions” (Acts 26:2–3).

My concern is simply this: when we declare truth in commerce, we may unintentionally be affirming that commerce is the proper venue for truth to be judged. Yet, as you well know, commerce is not the highest law. Commerce presumes contracts, liabilities, instruments, and performance. But a living soul, made in the image of God, is not a commercial entity.

The deeper remedy may not be to claim sovereignty within commerce, but to peacefully remove oneself from its presumptions altogether—by declaring oneself not in contract, not in agency, and not in surety to that which was created without full disclosure or consent.

I believe many of us are seeking the same thing: not rebellion, but reconciliation with our Creator, and restoration of lawful standing as men and women—not corporate “persons,” but living witnesses.

So I thank you again for your words. And I pray that we all continue, as Paul said, to “exercise ourselves, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men” (Acts 24:16).

Respectfully and peaceably,
