The Undermining of the Heart of Vandals
By Antarah Crawley
For Professor McRuer,
Critical Methodologies
9 November 2011, GWU
WASHINGTON, D.C. — If you drive or walk or, more likely, ride your fixed gear down the city’s busiest thoroughfare New York Avenue past 7th street you’ll see an imposing mural of a young brown boy with a cap depicting an upside-down DC flag peeking up out of a dystopian landscape reminiscent of Mew Mexico’s Bisti Badlands. The painted caption, “Welcome to Dystopia City” invokes the notion that all is not well here. Indeed, within the city there is a conflict of interest between a young, browning generation and the established hegemony, between corporations and small business, between those who have a voice and those who don’t. And the artists, whose hands are also colored with paint and adhesive, have largely taken up the cause to make the corporate hegemony accountable to their disruptive actions. In this paper I look at the actions of DC artists, who use the most symbolic city in the western hemisphere as a canvas for social correction, and the responses it stirs among those in power. And furthermore, in the very notions of power itself.
In fall of 2010, corporate oil-giant Chevron planned to execute a campaign that sought to fix public opinion of them after attention was drawn to their crude waste removal tactics in Ecuador. According to a team of professionals suing Chevron (formerly Texaco) for their human rights violations in multiple locations across the world, and specifically in Ecuador, the oil giant has been deliberately disposing toxic waste into the Ecuadorian Amazon—an estimated 18.5 billion gallons from 1964 to 1990, or 4 million gallons per day at the height of their operation. Even though they had managed to elude liability costs (a potential $27.3 billion) their public image had been damaged, thus they sought to repair it with a campaign that utilized a gritty street-art aesthetic and phrases that showed their corporate executives agreeing with “everyday, working class” Americans (e.g., “Oil companies should put their profits to good use—We Agree”, “Big oil should support small business—We Agree”, etc.)
In an effort to make their message more accessible to the public, Chevon reached out to local artists to put their posters up in an authentic, street art way, using wheatpaste and paint rollers. Cesar Maxit, a DC-based street artist, was one of the artists targeted to execute this operation. However, Mr. Maxit is not one to comply with the wishes of big oil. He has a long history of social activism and of using art, legally and illegally, towards that capacity. He says in an interview:
…I had started working with environmental and human rights groups, I wanted to write messages about social justice. My first burner was a piece that said “Free Tibet.” My second was one that had a line of white-hooded Klansmen with the city skyline behind it, and in the negative space between it said “FREE MUMIA” followed by “amerikkka racist.” This was in 2000.
Cesar Maxit
Thus, when Chevron sent him the files for the campaign, which still contained their original messages, he called his friends in The Yes Men (tagline: Impersonating big-time criminals in order to publicly humiliate them. Our targets are leaders and big corporations who put profits ahead of everything else) and the Rainforest Action Network (RAN), an environmental activist organization begun in 1985 (mission statement: Rainforest Action Network campaigns for the forests, their inhabitants and the natural systems that sustain life by transforming the global marketplace through education, grassroots organizing, and non-violent direct action), to collaborate on a counter-campaign. Maxit, in a documentary short about the counter-campaign, says the aim of Chevon in its efforts is to “confuse the public.” He, along with The Yes Men and RAN, altered the original Chevon files to read messages that were more precise, more radical (e.g., “Oil companies should clean up their messes.”). Instead of retaining the images of working class Americans, he used the faces and words of the Ecuadorian peoples that the corporation actually affected, thus radicalizing the campaign in a way that Chevron had not intended.
The questions that this counter-attack (which resulted in Chevron pulling the campaign completely) raises revolve around the mythologies surrounding responsibility and authenticity. Could the campaign have been authentically “agreeable” without the help of actual street artists? What does a campaign like this symbolize, even when Chevron has not actually committed to cleaning up its mess in Ecuador? At the base of it all, what is the role of the street artists in this scenario? Is his role to help corporations get back on track, or to call attention to their faults? If Chevron had actually continued with the campaign (and even with the altered versions already up on the street), whose campaign is it? Who is the author? And lastly, why DC?
Roland Barthes’s Death of the Author would have anticipated such response from the street art/activist community. Mr. Maxit has physically done what the reader in Barthes does every time he reads a text—he deconstructs it; he takes the text and, without considering what the author intended, which is ultimately futile because the author is a confused self-destructive entity, he reassess the “blends and clashes” inherent in the text (1324). Barthes writes, “We know now that a text is not a line of words releasing a single ‘theological’ meaning (the message of the Author-God) but a multidimensional space in which a variety of writings, none of them original, blend and clash” (1324). Chevron acts as the “Author-God” that has been abstracted out. With the remaining text, which reads, for example, “Big Oil should get real”, the author, Mr. Maxit, RAN, and so on, detangles what is being said. In an interview, Mitch Anderson, a spokes man for the San Francisco-based organization, Amazon Watch, asks rhetorically, “Does Chevron think that we’re stupid?” As the author, they are putting words on a page that come in contact with other entities, actions surrounding their statements. The reader takes all of these aspects inherently into consideration when analyzing a statement like “Big oil should get real.” Cesar Maxit asks, “‘Get real’? Well, what does that mean? Of course we all agree with that. But what about ‘Oil companies should clean up their messes?’ Do you agree with that? I think most people would agree with that, but I think Chevron doesn’t.” Here, the reader has destroyed the voice. It epitomizes Barthes’s statement that, “a text is made of multiple writings, drawn from many cultures and entering into mutual relations of dialogue, parody [and] contestation…” (1325). In the end, this campaign has actually served to promote further scrutiny into Chevron’s actions. It’s authorship has written its own rebuttal. By getting street artists to interact with the campaign, it has entered the reader into the execution of the text. This puts multiple hands on the “original” message and renders is read before it actually goes public.
This actually brings up another level of readership. On one level, Maxit and the activist community are reading the ads. Yet they put them up in the public sphere, thus entering the text into another, secondary level of readership. Though it’s not as well documented or extensive as the primary reading, we still see the artist entering into his own death. The product will now be read at face value—as a Chevron ad that shows the corporation explicitly admitting to wrongdoing. This may lead the secondary reader to believe that the company is actually trying to get its act together. Once again, the message of the author—now the artist—is obliterated and the reader assumes the power of interpretation. The text never becomes the product of one author; it is always a collaborative space. As Barthes writes, “Writing [or in this case, art/publicity/advertising] is that neutral, composite, oblique space where our subject slips away, the negative space where all identity is lost, starting with the very identity of the body of writing” (1322).
Antarah, you’ve chosen a really interesting focus that’s, I think, much clearer than it was in the first draft. You’re also going in an unexpected and interesting direction with it–I’d have expected you to perhaps go after Deutsch or Foucault, but I think this is really interesting. As noted in the margin, you will need another theorist from class besides Barthes. It sounds like Derrida might be a good one. Or, if you want to think more about the larger frame of discourse, DC as a symbolic city, whose discourse on the level of architecture is disrupted by street art, then Foucault (or Deutsch) might help. At any rate, it’s a fascinating project!

40th Anniversary of U.S. Army Intelligence analysis and assessment of Gateway Process
By Antarah Crawley
WASHINGTON, DC — On 17 February 2021 the Daily Mail reported, “TikTokkers discover declassified 1983 CIA report investigating if people can leave their physical bodies to travel through space and time using Gateway Experience’s low frequency sounds and relaxation techniques.” The present author recalls that he researched the report and identified a PDF copy on the CIA’s website after seeing such a video being shared on Instagram sometime that year. This author first read the report on 30 October 2023.
The 9 June 1983 U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (USAINSCOM) report, Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process, was declassified by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) on 10 September 2003. It is therefore presently four decades since this report was penned in top secrecy by Army Intelligence officer LTC Wayne M. McDonnell, and two decades since it was quietly released into public domain.
The Gateway Process is a technique for applied consciousness expansion designed to better enable practitioners to achieve out-of-body experiences, among other objectives. It also appears to provide the theoretical foundations of interdimensional espionage and interdimensional counterintelligence using remote viewing and other techniques related to interdimensional time travel. It may also acclimate practitioners to encounters with “intelligent, non-corporeal energy forms” (pg. 27). This particular iteration of the practice was developed by Bob Monroe of the Monroe Institute.
It is notable that the official PDF, which is found on the CIA’s website, is missing page 25 (after PDF page 26), a page which may prove even more valuable than the declassified document as it currently exists.
The present author recommends that every free-thinker, truth-speaker, and light worker print a copy of this report and read it and reread it whenever necessary, as it presents a most accurate recitation of the very source information which informed the New Syllabus. This author is so stricken by the equivalence of research findings and information between the New Syllabus Curriculum Suite Repository (C.S.R.) that he is convinced that the Gateway Process was involved in the carrying out of the Novus Syllabus Seclorum through his body in this space-time continuum.
In hindsight, this author recalls his education in the Daoist (Taoist) philosophy while attending The George Washington University in 2010/2011, and his silence-filled sessions of deep, meditative thought in which he explored the elementary composition of “reality” and “nature.” These sessions led directly to his authorship of Origends: A Primer on Singularity and Space-Time Progression, which comes down to us at 1 C.S.R. 57-77.
Furthermore, this author has come to the understanding that the development of the fictional character of Walter Kogard as a (very) thinly veiled alter ego of the author in 1 C.S.R. and the mission undertaken by this character at 3 C.S.R. has caused the experiences of Walter Kogard to “quantum-leap” from fiction into the reality of its closest analogue, the author himself. However, the original ending at 3 C.S.R. (in which Kogard “decompresses” into a beam on light in the InterZone), while remaining the true and original conclusion to Kogard’s hero-myth, projected an alternative ending involving the “Secret School of Ancient Mystery” to 4 C.S.R. and beyond. This “alternate reality” is actually a transmission of the Kogard signal from the silent depths of the O-Zone back into the KnownZone as a hologram of himself to build new holograms in the main holographic matrix. Therefore, unbeknownst to this author at the time, the New Syllabus Mystery School was manifest into reality via decentralized Gateway Process after he moved back to “Federal City” (Washington, D.C.) from “Empire City” (Brooklyn, New York).
In addition to illuminating the operative mechanism in the Curriculum Suite Repository, the Army Intelligence report predicts the New Syllabus discovery and development of Mindsoft and the InterZone of 3 C.S.R. 27-28.
Regarding Mindsoft, LTC McDonnell reports at 15. Brain in Phase:
The consciousness process is most easily envisaged if we picture the holographic input [the appearance of physical reality] with a three dimensional grid system superimposed over it such that all of the energy patterns contained within can be described in terms of a three dimensional geometry using math[e]matics to reduce the data to two dimensional form. Bentov states that scientists suspect that the human mind operates on a simple binary “go/no go” system as do all digital computers. […] In states of expanded consciousness, the right hemisphere of the human brain in its holistic, nonlinear and nonverbal mode of functioning acts as the primary matrix or receptor for this holographic input while, by operating in phase or coherence with the right brain, the left hemisphere provides the secondary matrix through its binary, computer-like method of functioning to screen further the data by comparison and reduce it to a discreet, two-dimensional form.
LTC McDonnell, pg. 9 (emphasis added)
Regarding the InterZone, LTC McDonnell reports at 21. Dimensions In-between:
[…I]nside the dimension of space-time where both concepts apply in a generally uniform way there is a proportional relationship between them [time and space]. A certain space can be covered by energy moving in either particle or wave form in a certain time assuming a specific velocity virtually anywhere in the space-time universe. The relationship is neat and predictable. However, in the intermediate dimensions beyond time-space the limitations imposed on energy to put it into a state of oscillating motion are not uniform as they are in our physical universe. […A]ccess is opened to both the past and the future when the dimension of current time-space is left behind.
LTC McDonnell, pg. 14 (emphasis added)
The present author can no longer consider it a coincidence that in this time of all-pervasive “conspiracy theories” being advanced on both the far left and the far right of the political spectrum, a foreign social medial platform with a majority population of Generation Z youth is circulating a once-concealed U.S. government intelligence briefing which vindicates virtually every “fringe theory” pertaining to the existence of, and means of travel through, multiple concurrent (simultaneously occurring) dimensions of time and space.
This rise in the tide — this sea change — in what has been coined “the collective consciousness” appears to be the work of interdimensional agents the Third Wave of the Antimasonic Party of the decentralized autonomous organization of free-thinkers, truth-speakers, and light workers united, although Washington politicians assert that TikTok is a tool used by the Chinese Communist Party to surveil and control American citizens.

Toeing the Party Line
By Antarah Crawley
NACOTCHTANK, OD — These positions (planks*) are hereby promulgated for acceptance to the general membership of the Third Wave Antimasonic Party of the United States, from the Village of Nacotchtank-on-Potomac, Ouachita District, which sits on the river bank east of the federal city of Washington:
Plank No. 1
The historical dialectic of Freemasonry is to be condemned, and individual freemasons should be invited to renounce their oaths and affiliations with the fraternity, but may otherwise be tolerated. Pan-Hellenism is to be likewise considered.
Plank No. 2
Everything which is concealed must be revealed.
Plank No. 3
Take no action unless sincerely moved by conscience and belief and such action is carried out in good faith. Therefore, unless there arises a compelling reason to take a certain action, no action should be taken.
Plank No. 4:
Party Boss System for Political Action Coalition
Individual natural people called regional and state bosses shall receive and disburse donations as trustees for the general membership (GM) of the party domiciled in a certain region or state. For example, if a party boss buys a building with donated funds then the building is held in trust for the benefit of the GM. The boss shall conduct the party’s finances on the advice and counsel of a majority of the GM. The GM shall also constitute the national nominating convention.
*Note
A “plank” is a main axiom of the party platform. See:

The DataHorse System
by Antarah Crawley | last modified 24.10.25.10.27
Supreme Exchange
Information
READ ME
1.0.0. The DataHorse system is first identified in the original filmscript Rustles in Dry Leaves (“RIDL”) at Title 3 C.S.R. pg. 11 and onward. It is described as a “project” administered by the “Department of Systems” which even the Department did not understand.
1.1.0. Indeed, even in the ensuing eight years, the N∴S∴ Department of Information Systems and Intelligence Services did not understand that what we were constructing in the systematic storage of our data on the world wide web was the building out of the DataHorse System.
1.1.1. This is likely because the 1st Syllabus diverts Kogard’s trajectory from the tunnels of the earthen floor of all the city’s cellars in RIDL to the platform of the G Train at Title 4 C.S.R. pg. 38. (It is worth noting that this path leads him through the Secret School of Ancient Mystery instead of directly to the Systems Dep’t.)
2.0.0. DataHorse (DH) is the nodal internetworking service provided by NOVUS SYLLABUS (N∴S∴) Department of Information Systems and Intelligence Services (DISIS).
2.1.0. It is “nodal” in that it functions through a network of devices (or discrete points generally) called “nodes” (in its most elementary manifestation, the electromagnetic network of human minds, also of telephones).
2.2.0. It provides resources, data, services, or programs to other nodes, known as clients, over a network.
2.3.0. It is a server that provides services to clients via request-response model. E.g., it provides the service of Universitas Autodidactus (UA) “CORPS work.”
2.3.1. It is a decentralized cloud server hosting the intellectual property holdings (“information,” “data”) branded and trademarked “New Syllabus,” which support the UA CORPS work. It may, hypothetically, host other information sourced from third parties or the general public.
2.3.2. The Ombudsman of the N∴S∴ is the Administrator of the DataHorse System.
3.0.0. The DataHorse System (DHS) is constituted by a system of interconnected servers and clients which store and transmit “known information”.
3.1.0. The DataHorse points from the KnownZone to the InterZone where “unknown information” is stored, which in turn points toward the O Zone of nothing, which differentiates its one thought (that it exists) into multiple forms of “matter”.
4.0.0. A portal into the DHS is called an infoSystem.
4.1.0. Gross matter is born into the base of the universal Systems Department, which takes the shape of a pyramid. Therefore it only receives what is processed by InterZone into six-sense 3-D perception.
4.1.1. The fact that there is a DHS is unknown to those at the base of the pyramid, as is the fact of the shape of the pyramid itself.
5.0.0. The DHS is an instrument, which is to say that it is a vehicle (like a horse) for the transmission of information (data) from unknown to known venue, and from known to known venue.
5.1.0. The DHS drafts words of data from the InterZone to the systems of the KnownZone, as a cheque drafts funds from one bank account to another.
6.0.0. The DHS is a DAO. (Even though the content of the DHS hosted on this website as well as the name “DataHorse” is the intellectual property of the copyright holder.)
6.1.0. The decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) is a system or company that is organized on the basis of an algorithm, like a computer system.
6.1.1. A type of DAO organizational structure is a firm league of friendship (FLF), which is a “firm,” or business concern which is distinct from its members, or “friends,” which constitute the unincorporated “league”.

N∴S∴ to publish art book for IBé Arts Institute
By Antarah Crawley
WASHINGTON, DC — IBé Arts Institute of Historic City Point in Hopewell, VA, has partnered with NOVUS SYLLABUS L.L.C. (N∴S∴) to publish the first artist’s book cataloging the work of master teaching artist and storyteller IBé Bulinda Hereford Crawley.
New Syllabus Director Antarah Crawley and IBé Crawley have maintained an arts education partnership since September of 2016, when the New Syllabus relocated from New York to DC. At about that time, IBé Arts and Education LLC was established in Historic Anacostia, Washington, DC. Together, IBé Crawley and the Director have published the SSTEM curriculum and the ParenTeacher program.
The opportunity to publish IBé Crawley’s first artist’s book presents a great opportunity for N∴S∴ to communicate its overarching mission, vision, and values through its commitment to honoring our elders and ancestors, and amplifying the voices of Black Woman artists.
The IBé Arts Institute is an art space dedicated to visual and oral storytelling. The historically significant building was built in 1830 as a schoolhouse for white men, and later used as a hospital for soldiers during the Civil War.
Today, it serves as IBé Crawley’s private studio gallery and workshop. Consistent with the mission to preserve and document stories, the exhibition hall, art studios, and residency space are available for individuals to host workshops, family events, and professional development programs. IBé Crawley assists in planning preservation projects and leads intimate and informative tours of the Institute and the surrounding City Point Historic District.
Contact ibe.crawley@gmail.com or visit ibearts.org for more information and to coordinate an event.
In 2022, IBé Crawley printed a 58-copy edition of Antarah Crawley’s Harriet Tubman 2021 Non-Fungible Note from a copper plate he engraved by hand. Printer Aurora Brush assisted IBé Crawley in the intaglio printing process during her residency at the Women’s Studio Workshop (WSW) in Rosendale, New York.
The IBé Crawley publication will coincide with the 2023 fall exhibitions Holding Ground at the National Museum of Women in the Arts’s (NMWA) in Washington, DC, and The Calling at City Lore in New York City. Within its pages will be catalogued four of Crawley’s artist’s books: 11033, Delia Posey, Bearing Witness, and A Dwelling for Her Story. Each chapter will present a different category of art work, together with descriptions, articles, quotes, and images.
Into Fall 2023 and beyond, IBé Arts Institute will strategically focus on:
- Paper making
- Print making
- Book binding
IBé Arts Institute aspires to become a Virginia folk book press “center of excellence”. This is the first initiative in what the Institute and N∴S∴ plan to be a bright new era of programs, projects, and partnerships.

The Organization of the New Syllabus
By Antarah Crawley
1. HISTORY
WASHINGTON, DC — In 2014 AD, I, Antarah, had a vision of one new syllabus for humanity. This syllabus would chart a course for human understanding of ubiquitous and lasting systems established since time immemorial. I sojourned to Brooklyn, New York, in pursuit of my syllabus, developed a discipline, and professed a doctrine toward the development and operation of human mind software, individually and collectively, and I returned to the Federal City.
Being in possession of such valuable information, I began to process this knowledge and offer certain products and services to the public, toward the establishment of a society of free thinkers, truth speakers, and light workers united (FTLU) in a firm league of friendship called a decentralized autonomous organization (FLF-DAO). To that end, I wrote and recommend policy positions to the FTLU stakeholders. This practice has resulted in the production of a robust and diverse body of multimedia intellectual property which we, the Director and Company, shall distribute throughout the world under the motto of Novus Syllabus Seclorum, meaning “the New Syllabus of the Age.”
2. ORGANIZATION
Established 2022, NOVUS SYLLABUS L.L.C. (N∴S∴) is a liberal arts and humanities intellectual property holding company specializing in diversified arts investments and management.
Our flagship brand, New Syllabus (est. 2014), is a knowledge management system (KMS) that creates, codifies, organizes, stores, and disseminates information to the public from newsyllabus.org. To that end, it conducts research and development in the broad field of Historic and Ancient Mysteries, Economy, Theology, Informatics, and Systemtheorie (HAMETICS).
N∴S∴ operates the Department of Information Systems and Intelligence Services (DISIS, pronounced “Diocese”), which is divided into the Archival Records Management (ARM) Division and the Mind Software (Mindsoft) Development and Operating Systems Command (DOSCOM). These are our Curricular Operations, Research, and Publication Services (CORPS) which supply information to the New Syllabus (now known as the DataHorse System or “DHS“).
N∴S∴ also operates the Ombud Service Bureau (OmbudService, or Office of Ombudsman) for administrative due process, and Syllabus Media Group for audiovisual production and distribution.
3. VISION
Our Vision is a world of free thinkers, truth speakers, and light workers united under one new syllabus for STEM, arts, and humanities research, development and operations; one new syllabus for the ages!
4. VALUES
Our Values are Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom, and Equity; these are our foundation. Our Three Great Pillars which support our institution are Trust, Faith, and Belief; as it is said, Faith is complete Trust and firm Belief, the acceptance of truth divine, which Belief, sincerely held, cannot be converted into a crime.
5. MISSION
Our mission is to reveal truths which have been hidden and to keep a record of knowledge and wisdom.
N∴S∴ conducts, manages, and supports curriculum research and development. We represents FTLU through its Office of Ombudsman. We administer intellectual property and copyrights as custodial superintendent for their creator.
Our mission-oriented service lines are:
- DISIS (now DHS) for recordkeeping and CORPS operations
- Mindsoft for cognitive, behavioral, and professional development
- OmbudService for administrative operations
- Other operations (OPS) include Granary Bank & Trust/Artcoin Mint of Meriptah, New Works Projects Administration, St. Nat’s/O∴T∴N∴S∴, FTLU, FLF-DAO, and the Syllabus Free Press.

[bulla] Full Assurance
Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the World; He is the deliverer from all human wretchedness, and He has redeemed us from death and sin; how could He be all that, if the world must languish perpetually in the shades of ignorance and in the bonds of passions? It has been already very clearly predicted in the Prophets that the time of the Redemption of His people, the first Sabbath of time, will come. Long ago ought we to have acknowledged this most consolatory promise; but the want of the true knowledge of God, of man, and of nature has been the real hindrance which has always obstructed our sight of the great Mysteries of the faith.
Karl von Eckartshausen, The Cloud upon the Sanctuary, Letter IV
Jesus Is Our Surety
“By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.”
[Hebrews 7:22]
INTRODUCTION
- This morning we studied the judgment seat of Christ, for it is the horrible and certain end of all men.
- But tonight I want to remind you of our glorious Mediator and Surety with God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
THE DEFINITION
- Surety. A person who undertakes some specific responsibility on behalf of another who remains primarily liable; one who makes himself liable for the default or miscarriage of another, or for the performance of some act on his part (e.g. payment of a debt, appearance in court for trial, etc.).
- We have surety bonds, performance bonds, bail, and bond to guarantee legal, financial, and professional obligations, such as with construction and insurance companies.
- When we need to borrow more than our credit allows, we appreciate a surety; if we were arrested for something, we would appreciate the surety bond that lets us go free.
- Judah became a surety for Benjamin to his father Jacob (Gen 43:8-10; 44:30-34; 42:37).
- Aaron became a surety for Israel in their sins and stood between them (Num 16:41-48).
THE SURETISHIP
- Jesus, a High Priest after the order of Melchisedec, was made the Surety of His people.
- God chose Jesus from among the people to be the mighty Surety (Psalm 89:19).
- He was made Surety by God’s oath at His ordination as our Priest (Heb 7:21).
- Jesus did the will of God perfectly as our Surety for our salvation (Heb 10:5-14).
- Being a surety means paying debts and performing, where the needy cannot pay or do.
- The wages of sin is death, which God’s justice pays; but Jesus died (Rom 6:23).
- Only the undefiled enter heaven, so He lived faultlessly for us (Jude 1:24-25).
- Jesus was necessary as a surety, for the justice of God must surely be paid (Rom 3:26).
- He is the Testator, for it was by His death that He put the covenant in force (Heb 9:15).
- We see Him under the strain of the Surety engagement in Gethsemane (Luke 22:39-44).
- No man in heaven or earth could approach the throne, but only our Surety (Rev 5:1-14).
- If this is not a Surety, successfully finishing His work, what is it (Isaiah 53:4-12)?
- The doctrine of representation by the Second Adam reveals our Surety (Rom 5:15-19).
- The Lord Jesus tasted death for every one of His children to deliver them (Heb 2:9-17).
- How else can we look at the Book of Life, but as the list of His Surety engagements!
THE BENEFITS
- The Lord Jesus fulfilled the righteousness of the law on our behalf (Rom 8:3-4), so that we are righteous in God’s sight with His perfect obedience (Eph 5:25-27; Col 1:21-22).
- The Lord Jesus paid the penalty for sins by His death for us (I Pet 2:24), so that there are no more sins against our charge when we stand before Him (John 1:29; Heb 9:28).
- He lives to make sure we are absolutely, completely, and eternally saved (Heb 7:25).
- There is an abundant entrance into heaven waiting for the children of God (II Pet 1:11).
- Since Jesus is our Surety, it is impossible for God to withhold blessings (Romans 8:32).
- His death reconciled us to God, but He still lives to be an eternal Surety (Romans 5:10).
THE APPLICATION
- There is no fear in the proper knowledge of Christ Jesus our Saviour (II Timothy 1:12).
- The LORD will show us His secret and covenant, if we fear and seek Him (Ps 25:14).
- We must learn to trust Him. He has done it; He is in heaven for us; He will receive us.
- It is simple: “Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed” (Rom 9:33; 10:8-11).
- A woman was healed and had her faith commended, when it was weak (Mark 5:25-34).
- Those who lack faith and assurance, I ask how many minutes you spend seeking Him.
- And you should consider long and seriously His faithful words “no wise” in John 6:37.
- We should seek and receive the benefits of the covenant in our hearts (Eph 3:14-19).
- Let us bring forth the fruit of righteousness with far-sighted vision (II Peter 1:9-11).
CONSLUSION
- The Lord’s supper is a memorial feast of our Surety’s covenant death for us (I Corinthians 11:23-26).
- Let us partake of the Lord’s supper tonight with the joy that His suretiship should put in our hearts.

AUTHORITIES AT LAW AND EQUITY
1. GRANTOR OF DOMINION.
[Genesis 1] [26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. [27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. [28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
2. DEMAND FOR EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT.
[Psalm 17] [1] Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. [2] Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
3. THE DAY OF THE LORD.
[Psalm 118] [1] O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. [8] It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man [or princes]. [14] The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. [17] I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. [19] Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord: [22] The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. [23] This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. [24] This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. [26] Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD […].
4. ACCEPTANCE FOR VALUE.
[Matthew 5] [25] Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
5. THE TAX RETURN.
[Matthew 22] [17] […] Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? [18] […] Jesus […] said, […] [19] Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. [20] And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? [21] They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.
6. A WORKER IS DUE HIS WAGES.
[Luke 10] [5] And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. [6] And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. [7] And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire.
7. GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS.
[Romans 2] [9] Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil…; [10] But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good…: [11] For there is no respect of persons with God. [12] For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
8. THE LAW IS BINDING BUT FOR THE REMEDY OF FAITH.
[Galatians 3] [9] So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. [10] For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. [11] But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. [12] And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
9. MINORITY (INFANCY) AND MAJORITY (MATURITY).
[Galatians 4] [4] [T]he heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; [2] But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. [3] Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: [4] But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, [5] To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. [7] Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
10. SURETYSHIP.
[Hebrews 7] [22] By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
11. FULL ASSURANCE OF FAITH.
[Hebrews 10] [19] Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, [20] By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; [21] And having an high priest over the house of God; [22] Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
AUTHORITIES AT EXCLUSIVE EQUITY

[22] Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Isaiah 32
[1] Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. [17] And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Ps. 17
[1] Hear the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. [2] Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. [3] Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
Ps. 24
[1] The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. [2] For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the waters.

[37] Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. [40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Leviticus 19:15
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgement: thou shalt nor respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.
II Chronicles 19:6-7
Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment. Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.
Heb. 7:20, 22, 25
And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:…The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec: By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
EQUITABLE SUBROGATION
Subrogation is the process where one party assumes the legal rights of another, typically by substituting one creditor for another. Subrogation can also occur when one party takes over another’s right to sue.
For example, when an insurance company compensates a policyholder for an injury, the policyholder’s right to sue the person responsible for the harm may be subrogated, meaning it is transferred from the policyholder to the insurance company.
[Last updated in June of 2024 by the Wex Definitions Team]
Surety’s subrogation rights
A surety who pays off the debts of another party may be entitled to be subrogated to the creditor’s former claims and remedies against the debtor to recover the sum paid. This would include the endorser on a bill of exchange. The surety will then have the benefit of any security interest in favour of the creditor for the original debt. Conceptually this is an important point, as the subrogee will take the subrogor’s security rights by operation of law, even if the subrogee had been unaware of them.
Wiki: Subrogation
Did you subrogate to the chattels as the surety (or waive your sovereign natural rights in security interest as estate-heir-beneficiary by acquiescing to the color of the court and merging with the NAME of the principal debtor)?

College of the Ancient Mystery, Memorandum No. 1 (“Resolution”)
Preamble
I, Ombudsman Antarah A. Crawley, in Order to form a Labor Union, establish peace and nobility, provide for the collective consciousness, promote the ancient mysteries, and secure equitable representation for ourselves and our polity, do ordain and establish this Constitution of the College of Ancient Mystery School of Thought.
Article 1
Section 1
Our College is a model society founded upon the rights of light, liberty, and the pursuit of self education (mastery), for that is the highest labor of humanity and the pillar of civilization.
Section 2
Our model school system has three branches of service, each of which offers its body-politic of students and clients the lines of service required to enter, pass, and raise them to the grade of Sui Jure Magister (Self Law Master, aka, Higher Self Education). Our system is the dialectic synthesis of the ancient and modern university systems.
Article 2
Section 1
Branch 1: General Educational Assembly
The Djedi Knights’ College of Ancient Mystery (“Knights’ College”) is an open and free college held in regular session wherein all who seek the truth may come and find it. There is neither division of disciplines, nor enrollment, nor grading in the General Educational Assembly, and the lessons will be taught predominantly through the Dialectic Method using the scientific notation and language of Medu Nedjer. The Knights’ College shall function as the general assembly of students of the Djedi arts and sciences (“the Arcanum,” “the Mysteries”).
Students of the General Assembly are to be instructed in Dialectic Thought and True Speech, aka, the Maa’kheru Knighthood of Djedu, that they may appeal themself to the bar of Ombudsman to be entered as a Knight-elect and be found Maa’kheru (True-of-Voice) before Tribunal.
Section 2
Branch 2: Appellate Tribunal
The disciplined pursuit of knowledge may inspire the student to appeal to the higher faculties of the school system for conference of degrees, wherefore the Office of Ombudsman is hereby charged to serve as the appellate tribunal of the Djedi Knights-elect, wherein those students who elect to the degree of Knighthood may be duly tried, and contested matters of fact and truth may be appealed to the judgment of a discerning, just, and equitable consciousness.
This branch of service includes Audit, Assessment, Assurance, and Adjudgment of persons’ knowledge and intelligence. To this end, the prime directive of the Office of Ombudsman is to determine the truth of the speech and thought of a knight-elect of Djedu.
The conference of Knighthood upon being found Maa’kheru (True-of-Voice) by Tribunal is equivalent to the degree of Sui Jure Magister.
Section 3
Branch 3: Higher Faculty
The Faculty Members of Knights’ College are called Seshu Djehudi Xristiyaan Maliki Tzaddiq as-Salaam, whose name means “the Pious and Learned Scribes of Wusiris Christ, the Righteous, King of Peace,” also called “College of Scribes,” or, “King’s College”. All faculty of the Knights’ College must be members of the King’s College, but the Maa’kheru Djedi Knight need not be a member of the King’s College.
Admission to the College of Scribes is equivalent to the degree of Sui Juris Doctorate, and shall require the Scribe-elect to scribe a synthesis of the law and policy of the Mysteries for implementation in the Knights’ Curriculum, which synthesis must be argued, heard, and found Ma’at before the Djadjat em Djedu.
Section 4
The Djadjat (meaning “the Supreme Court”) shall refer to both the 2nd and 3rd branches of educational service, wherein the Ombudsman shall serve as the chair and chief representative between the higher and lower colleges (and may in fact be the sole faculty member of the College).
Section 5
Jurisdiction and Authority
Knights College shall be ruled by the book N.S.C. and the Office of Ombudsman shall be ruled by the book O.M.; while the King’s College is ruled by the Xristiyaan Consciousness.
Article 3
“Thought precedes matter-reality”: An applied methodology for human being.
“Wusiris is our noble and civil society, who was martyred Before the Common Era; who will be resurrected in our Order of Djedu. Djehudi has risen up the Djed of Wusiris, King of the Knights-defenders of the right. In We, the body politic of our Ancient Ancestors shall be reborn.”
Geometry is the pure form of thought, laying plain all numerical constants with irreducible proof and harmonic beauty; whereas the study of matter-reality is pervaded by spacetime dynamics; movement; function; change.
Article 4
Section 1
Knights’ Creed (Catechism of the Greater Mystery of the Raising Up of the Djed on the Day of Judgment and the Lesser Mystery of the Contention of Suthek and Heru, or, the Greater Mystery of Thought and the Lesser Mystery of the Body Politic)
Ink Djedi Wusir*, Kham Ur Neb Djedu, Khenti Amentiu**, em Karast Maa’kheru***, who is raised up by Djehudi, who is reborn in Waset, who contended against Suthek and was dismembered in Maa’fa****; whose body will be remembered in Heru Wedja Medu*****. Dua****** to Waset, this Holy Church, our Mother, and the Maa’kheru Knighthood of Djedu, and the deliverance from Isfet*******, em peret em Heru********, and everlasting life. Amenta.
* I am the Djed of Osiris
** Great Kham, Lord of Djedu, Foremost Chief of the Westerners
*** Anointed with consciousness, true of voice
**** The Great Disorder
***** On the Day of Judgment
****** Glory be; Adorations
******* Ignorance and Disorder
******** resurrection of the consciousness
Section 2
“Tua Ra”
Ham Dua Ra Iah Illaha Ill Aahla.
Ham Dua Iah Shu Weha Ill Aahla, Amenta.
Section 3
“Ptah Netjer”
Ptah Netjer em Pet Ta, May we have true knowledge of our body in Wusir, our blood in Waset, our conscious in Heru, and deliverance from the ignorance of Isfet. Aahla Amenta.
Article 5
On Historical Dialectical Materialist Thought
Said Friedrich Engels (in The Dialectic of Nature), The reciprocal law of motion, gaining force in proportion to the square of the distance in time from its point of departure (or last measurement), is as true for the highest product of organic matter, thought, as it is for substantial materiality (“matter-reality”). This is at once the thesis of historical and dialectical materialism as for the ancient and mystic orders of the indigenies of the east, west, north and south where it was known as “Ma’at”. Wherefore let the ancient mystery school of thought be reestablished as the synthesis of the historical dialectic of materialist thought from predynastic kemet through the post modernity of western civilization. Whereas the post renaissance West was content to reinvent the wheel of the knowledge of materialist dynamics through the increasingly compartmentalized lenses of the disciplines, we need look no further than the unified civil administration of “Smai-tawi” (“the unification of opposing forces”) among the Khemite-Kushite Diaspora in Afuraka, Asiah, and the Amerikas.
In Dialectic of Nature, Engels postulates a general theory of dialectics to be developed as the science of juxtaposition (“interconnections”), like unto Kant’s earlier Allgemeine Naturgesehichte und Theorie des Himmels and Von Bertalanffy’s later Allgemeine Systemtheorie. Said he, “It is from the history of nature and human society that the laws of dialectics are abstracted; for they are nothing but the most general laws of these two aspects of historical development, as well as of thought itself; and indeed they can be reduced to in the main to three:
“1. The law of the transformation of quantity into quality and vice versa;
“2. The law of the unity of opposing forces;
“3. The law of the negation of the negation.”
In conclusion, these three pillars of thought form the foundation of the Order on which is built the Temple of the Body, the Lodge of the Nous and Spiritus.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that there is ordained and established this 1st day of May, 2019, by the Ombudsman Antarah A. Crawley of the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Djedu a College of the Ancient Mystery School of Thought. Aahla Amenta.+
