LESSON 1: Fundamentals

Let's start by shining a light on some of the key elements and attributes of the four primary jurisdictions.

They exist in two categories:

1. The real and natural parts of the planet that exist in three dimensional space.

2. Artificial physical (manmade) things like machines and buildings, and fictional concepts originating in conceptual space, like contracts, philosophy and patents.

The names of these jurisdictions are: Soil, Land, Sea and Air.

These four names are identical for both categories, and are used interchangeably.

Therefore, there is the natural and real Soil, Land, Sea and Air jurisdictions which are the literal:

• soil on which we walk and grow our food,

• the land from which we exploit oil and minerals,

• the salty oceans,

• the fresh water rivers, lakes and aquifers,

• and the atmosphere which is the very air we breathe.

And, there are the artificial and conceptual Soil, Land, Sea and Air jurisdictions which are all man made constructs used in conjunction with the natural jurisdictions, or as entirely separate instruments (concepts usually in the form of written documents) such as statutes, charters, contracts, constitutions and treaties for conducting business and government. The latter exist as mind constructs and have no real presence in the physical world, except for the paper and ink with which they are written.

The onus is always on you, the user, to know whether you are dealing with the real three dimensional evolutionary world or with manmade artificial and conceptual fictional constructs. Therefore it is essential to always remember the following:

• The origin of the natural jurisdictions is planetary and evolutionary.

• The origin of the artificial jurisdictions is manmade (both the physical and conceptual).

There is a measure of overlap between the natural and the artificial jurisdictions. One simple example is a Bill of Lading. A Bill of Lading is a fictional and artificial construct originating in conceptual space but it can also manifest itself in three dimensional space as a document issued by a carrier to a shipper, listing and acknowledging receipt of goods for transport and specifying terms of delivery.

It has a purpose in both the artificial physical jurisdiction and in the conceptual space. Although conceptual in origin, a Bill of Lading is used for tracking and identifying real objects known as cargo, across international jurisdictions. The concept of a Bill of Lading originated as a concept in the manmade Sea jurisdiction, but today its use has been extended to the other jurisdictions as well, because of its overall usefulness in managing all types of cargo.

Mankind has invented such artificial and conceptual constructs and jurisdictions as a foundation on which to build an advancing and increasingly complex civilisation, evermore dependent on trade and commerce, transportation, communication and creature comforts, just to name a few.

The natural jurisdictions of the Soil, Land, Sea and Air operate by the law of evolution and survival of the fittest which keeps them in homeostasis and are therefore self-sustaining, self-governing, and all four are inherently sovereign.

The artificial jurisdictions of the Soil and Land operate by natural or common law (lawful), and the Sea and Air operate by manmade statutes (legal); and their authority is inherited through a system of hierarchy, which will be discussed in LESSON 4.

It is man's disregard, misuse, and neglect of these jurisdictions (both natural and artificial) that leads to nearly all serious conflicts and wars, which in turn provide a very fertile medium for greed, abuse, crime and corruption to flourish, brought about by the lawlessness and destruction of our civilisation run amok.
