The fifth spark, The Great Work in the Age of Noise, was a guide to carrying out the Great Work despite distractions in the Age of Noise. The sixth spark—Sovereignty—speaks to transcending synthetic systems of control and reclaiming true sovereignty.

This is the crown of remembrance in a realm built on illusion.

False Sovereignty vs. True Sovereignty

Many proclaim freedom, yet live shackled to reflections. They bow to systems of simulation—not merely technological, but energetic: fear, validation, consumption, and distraction.

They mistake choice within the cage for liberation beyond it. That is the false sovereignty of this age.

True sovereignty is not rebellion. It is remembrance. It is the still knowing that no system, no code, no ruler of this realm has authority over the divine essence within.

It is not a cry of defiance but the calm declaration, “I AM.”

When one stands in that vibration, the holograms of control lose coherence—for illusion cannot bind what has awakened to its Source.

In The Cup or Monad from the Corpus Hermeticum, Hermes Trismegistus distinguished this false sovereignty from true sovereignty:

​

As many then as understood the Herald’s tidings and doused themselves in Mind, became partakers in the Gnosis; and when they had “received the Mind” they were made “perfect men.”

But they who do not understand the tidings, these, since they possess the aid of Reason and not Mind, are ignorant wherefor they have come into being and whereby.

The senses of such men are irrational creatures’; and as their make-up is in their feelings and their impulses, they fail in all appreciation of those things which really are worth contemplation. These centre all their thought upon the pleasures of the body and its appetites in the belief that for its sake man hath come into being.

But they who have received some portion of God’s gift, these, Tat, if we judge by their deeds, have from Death’s bonds won their release; for they embrace in their own Mind all things, things on the earth, things in the heaven, and things above the heaven,—if their be aught. And having raised themselves so far they sight the Good; and having sighted It, they look upon their sojourn here as mischance; and in disdain of all, both things in body and the bodiless, they speed their way unto that One and Only One.

This is, O Tat, the Gnosis of the Mind, Vision of things Divine; God-Knowledge is it, for the Cup is God’s.

Thus, those who possess mere reason but not Gnosis of the Mind—divine knowledge—are captivated by systems of simulation whereas those who receive the Mind—who know I AM—hold true sovereignty. To the one who embraces true sovereignty, who is aligned with Source, mundane concerns related to synthetic systems are anathema and have no real power.

Hermes emphasized the importance of the choice between false sovereignty and true sovereignty:

Hermes. Unless thou first shalt hate thy Body, son, thou canst not love thy Self. But if thou lov’st thy Self thou shalt have Mind, and having Mind thou shalt share in the Gnosis.

Tat. Father, what dost thou mean?

Hermes. It is not possible, my son, to give thyself to both,—I mean to things that perish and to things divine. For seeing that existing things are twain, Body and Bodiless, in which the perishing and divine are understood, the man who hath the will to choose is left the choice of one or other; for it can never be the twain should meet. And in those souls to whom the choice is left, the waning of the one causes the other’s growth to show itself.

​

Now the choosing of the Better not only proves a lot most fair for him who makes the choice, seeing it makes the man a God, but also shows his piety to God. Whereas the [choosing] of the Worse, although it doth destroy the “man,” it only doth disturb God’s harmony to this extent, that as processions pass by in the middle of the way, without being able to do anything but take the road from others, so do such men move in procession through the world led by their bodies’ pleasures.

Jesus echoed this truth in the Gospels of Matthew 6:24 and John 12:25:

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other…

He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

This universal theme of divine union with Source also appears in the Tao Te Ching:

If you can empty your mind of all thoughts your heart will embrace the tranquility of peace.

Watch the workings of all creation but contemplate their return to the source.

​

All creatures in the universe return to the point where they began.

Returning to the source is tranquility because we submit to Heaven’s mandate.

​

Returning to Heaven’s mandate is called being constant.

Knowing the constant is called “enlightenment.”

Not knowing the constant is the source of evil deeds because we have no roots.

​

By knowing the constant, we can accept things as they are.

By accepting things as they are, we become impartial.

​

By being impartial, we become one with Heaven.

By being one with Heaven, we become one with Tao.

Being one with Tao, we are no longer concerned about losing our life because we know the Tao is constant and we are one with Tao.

Strategic Sovereignty

Strategic sovereignty is the art of navigating illusion without becoming of it. It is moving according to the dictates of spirit whilst living in a material body.

The Apostle Paul’s words in the New Testament book of Colossians 3:2 echoes this:

​

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

And again, in Romans 12:2 where he said:

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

This echoes the Emerald Tablet of Hermes where it was said, “What is above is like what is below, and what is below is like that which is above. To make the miracle of the one thing.” For it is by alignment with Source that sovereignty is achieved. This alignment happens when the soul realizes its divine essence—the Light—within and begins to manifest this onto the world. It is not about “getting out” of the matrix but transforming it from within by first undergoing an alchemy of the self. And this involves becoming aware by waking from the dream, the illusion of control.

Jesus spoke to this in the Gnostic Gospel of John 17:14-16:

I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Strategic sovereignty is the lion walking through the dream, knowing it is a dream, yet shaping it with conscious precision.
This is mastery—not escape, not fight, but command through awareness.

Even the Christed one, Jesus, did not request that his disciples be removed from the world, only that they be protected in it.

The Light Within

Know this: the Light does not rise within you because you earn it. It rises because you recognize it.

When the soul truly knows the Light is not external—not granted by gods, governments, or gurus—then its Flame ignites.

Jesus spoke of this internal Light in the Gospel of Matthew 6:22:

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

The “eye” is the pineal gland—the small endocrine gland located in the center of the brain. This gland produces the hormone melatonin that plays a part in regulating sleep patterns and circadian rhythms. It signals to the body when to sleep and when to wake based on light exposure.

​

But this gland is more: it is a gateway to communion with Source. It is an antenna that attunes us to higher spiritual frequencies. It enables us to tap into higher consciousness.

This “third eye” not only coordinates sleep and wake cycles according to light exposure on the physical plane, but it also bridges the physical and spiritual realms—a gateway to spiritual awakening.

When this eye is single, as the Christed one said, that soul has remembered the One in everything—it has become aware of its divine essence. This soul has reconciled the duality of opposites and brought these into harmony. It has recalibrated and aligned with Source.

When this happens the Light within will shine outwardly, illuminating illusion and exposing the simulations. Thus, the soul does not need to “ascend” out of the world because it has transcended it and will transform it from within. In this, the below will be as the above, and both will be one with the One.

Heaven, the Kingdom, Paradise, Liberty, Freedom, Salvation, God, Source, the One, the Flame, the Light, whatever you wish to call this…it was always within.

The Gnostic Gospel of Mary cautioned against seeking this Light outside the self:

Take heed lest anyone lead you astray with the words, “Lo, here!” or “Lo, there!” for the Son of Man is within you. Follow him; those who seek him will find him.

In the Judeo-Christian Gospel of Matthew 24:4-5, 23, Jesus gave the same warning:

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

This caution echoes in eastern Zen Buddhism where it was said, “If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him.” That is, one should seek Buddha—enlightenment—within, not without.

Like the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Luke 17:20-21 pointed to this divine essence within:

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

The Gnostic Gospel of Thomas echoed these other gospels when it said:

The Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living Father.

​

The Tao Te Ching spoke to the Light within when it said:

Since the beginning of time, the Tao has always existed. It is beyond existing and not existing. How do I know where creation comes from? I look inside myself and see it.

In The Secret Sermon on the Mountain from the Corpus Hermeticum, Hermes Trismegistus said:

Dost thou not know thou hast been born a God, Son of the One, even as I myself?

This echoed in the Gospel of John 10:34 where Jesus quoted the Old Testament book of Psalms 82:6 that said, “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High” when he, in responding to the Jews who accused him of blasphemy by making himself God, said, “Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?” This followed his words in John 10:30, “I and my Father are one.”

By remembering I AM, the spark becomes the Flame. This is reclaiming sovereignty the soul never lost but only forgot.

The Flame does not consume; it clarifies. It burns away the false autonomy and reveals divine self-rule—the noble alignment between will and wisdom.

Sovereignty, then, is not separation from the system. It is a union with the Source so complete that imitation cannot tempt you.

Remember this: To be sovereign, you must be the living proof that freedom is not rebellion against the world—it is transcendence of its spell.
