EQUITY SEES THAT AS DONE WHAT OUGHT TO BE DONE   


True Equity as a Universal Principle with Universal Sight will always see the entire picture of any given circumstance and will see all that must be done as done, thus we must ask ourselves, is this world one in which such a maxim is being applied? Are we seeing what is done being done in equity and equanimity? Or are we perpetuating the problem because we “want what is ours” to the detriment of the rest? If we want Equity, we must change our ways. What must be done is to create a new world model as one that is best for all beings and all of Life. Equity is balance and in a world based on such a foundational principle what must be done is to see that all living systems are maintained and nurtured in balance, equanimity and harmony for all of Life and for all living things. In order to do that the real work is within one’s self, not just in the world outside, although of course there is much to be done in that regard to heal this world so that true balance for all can be achieved.


  EQUITY WILL NOT SUFFER A WRONG TO BE WITHOUT A REMEDY   


Equity will not allow the continuation of something that is wrong without a remedy. Our entire world system and the requirements and corrections as described herein are based on not suffering the wrongs of this world. With our process of Status Correction we bring forth our contribution to a remedy, seeking it to be equitable and balanced, summarized in the phrase “To Do What is Best for All Life” and to “Do No Harm”. To suffer means to allow and this maximum is simple in its far-reaching impact, which is to not allow the wrongs of this world to continue and to see remedy and resolution from the starting point of another equitable principle of “Do Unto Others as You Would Have Others Do Unto Yourself”.  


 EQUITY DELIGHTS IN EQUALITY   


We are all equal in the value of Life. For far too long we have participated in the illusions of a monetary system that creates separation and competition through inequality, lack, suffering, disease, poverty, destruction and war. It is our own internal Enemy Construct projected into the field of creation in this manifested reality that we must address. The equality we seek is that of our own internal make-up and with that we can establish a foundation upon which we can proceed forward to heal this world. The purpose and intent of this document, and the larger context of providing practical education, solutions and applications to achieve one’s separation from the bonding nature of the world system, is one that guides us all towards the intended status of true equitable balance and equality. When we achieve that within ourselves this world will reflect it. This world system as a game of musical chairs in which only some get the goodies and most suffer the consequences is one in which there is certainly no equality nor delight. Only when every human being and every living system is afforded a true right to Life, a balanced life of integrity and opportunity, will we have real Equity in this world and we can thus delight in such equality.   
 
ONE WHO SEEKS EQUITY MUST DO EQUITY   


This is referring to the fact that equity sees all things in an equation. To achieve the remedy for the wrongs of this world, to arrive at a point of delight in Equity, the value of Life must be recalculated within the true basis of Law that states “Do Unto Others as You Would Have Done Unto You”. That is true Equity. Are you living it now? Are we, collectively living it? Ultimately, this maxim is stating that all value must be recognized. If we want the value of our Life to be honored, we must value the Life in every being. This includes the requirement to consider all things in equity when undertaking a task or relationship, which means the true hidden costs in the production of the world’s goods must be considered, as to the cost to the environment, the ecosystems, the animals, plants and all living things in this world, so that we receive the Equity of Life because we do the Equity of Life.   

EQUITY AIDS THE VIGILANT, NOT THOSE WHO SLUMBER ON THEIR RIGHTS   


We have slumbered on our rights and have never claimed our true estate and beneficial interests. We have abrogated our true Sovereign Free Will and allowed the world system to dictate and direct how life will be in this world. Look around and see the results, then face the truth in brutal self-honesty that we have allowed this to happen on our own watch and can blame none other than ourselves. By being asleep at the helm of our own ship of Life we have slept through the day and night as the bars to our prison were painted steely gray and the locks were put in place. The remedy is to claim our rights and stand on them. The remedy is to change our status and release the shackles of bonded surety-ship, to remove ourselves from the field of battle both within and without, and step off the fictional ship of state (citizen-ship) on the false Sea of Commerce. Taking full responsibility for the conditions of this world is the first principle and first step to take our world and our lives into our own control and rebuild it within the principles of Equity and Balance. We must be ever vigilant.   
 

The practical steps to achieve Status Correction are how the living man or woman returns to wholeness and removes the shackles of the world of bondage. The knowledge and understanding of how to create dynamic and creative private societies outside of the bonded corporate model is how groups, associations and organizations come together to build visions and projects and communities. For more information on these tools and practical solutions, visit our web sites to learn more.

EQUITY IMPUTES AN INTENT TO FULFILL AN OBLIGATION   


If and as we claim our rights, our lives and our substance, we stand in equity and therefore, Equity will proceed on the basis that there is an intent to fulfill an obligation. And what obligation might that be? It is our own obligation to walk ourselves into balance and equality, to move this world into one based on these Maxims of Equity, to return to the delight of Equality and Wholeness in Life. It is our intention by obligation fulfillment to make sure that all beings are afforded the basis of a Life of integrity, abundance and fulfillment. This is our obligation to the future and it is our intent to fulfill it. As we receive, acknowledge and accept our Gift of Life, we intend to see that all future generations shall also be so gifted.   
 
EQUITY ACTS IN PERSONAM OR ON PERSONS   


 What this means is the civil/legal/martial system we have been bonded into is a realm of fiction, populated by legal entities that do not exist in reality, but are only fictions of the mind. In Equity there are real people, real responsibility and real liability. We can only face our own individual and collective consequences if we leave that realm of illusion and face ourselves in the real world. It means that Equity will act on our living being (person) and not on the fictions behind which we hide and which the world system actors have used to their benefit to avoid their own responsibility through corporate limited liability. Equity will not allow that and therefore acts in personam, which means full personal responsibility. It ultimately means that we are responsible and cannot hide behind the illusions and lies of limited liability, which means we must take full responsibility in all respects.   

EQUITY ABHORS A FORFEITURE   


 What is the biggest forfeiture we have perpetrated in this world? The forfeiture of Life, the assertion that many must suffer and die so that the few can live and thrive. We have no Equity in this world because we have tacitly allowed such an abhorrent condition that is the antithesis of Life. We have demanded that many must forfeit their lives so that some can have the niceties and all the goodies that those who create them are denied. Is this Equity? Is this Equality? Is this Balance?   
 
EQUITY DOES NOT REQUIRE AN IDLE GESTURE   


Superficial platitudes and gestures mean nothing in the real world or to the substance of Life. None of it is required. Only real effort and real commitment and real responsibility can elicit True Equity. We stand on this principle and invite others to dig deep and do the same.

   
HE WHO COMES INTO EQUITY MUST COME WITH CLEAN HANDS   


 This maxim underwrites all the rest in that if we expect to have Equity in our lives we must come clean and not expect rewards based on hidden agendas, underlying fraud or denial of responsibility. The inherent and substantive nature of equitable rights is that they are fair, just, equal and balanced. If we want a stable world we must come into it with clean hands, which requires true self-honesty, to take responsibility for our mistakes, our transgressions and our participation in the wrongs of this world.

   
EQUITY DELIGHTS TO DO JUSTICE AND NOT BY HALVES   


 Justice is not a half way measure or proposition. Equity will not do justice by halves, but will only take into account what is just for all. That is the true and only definition of a world that is founded on the principles of true justice and Equity.   
 

EQUITY WILL TAKE JURISDICTION TO AVOID A MULTIPLICITY OF SUITS  

 
 We have been led astray into the litigious miasma of the legal and judicial system. It is a world of spite, revenge, greed and war. It is a field of battle that seeks victory through stratagems and manipulation. It is one in which a multiplicity of suits is the order of the day for those who will prey on the undefended and the innocent. Therefore, Equity will take jurisdiction to avoid that vastly distorted field of battle and bring all elements into view so that Equity and Justice can be done.   


EQUITY FOLLOWS THE LAW   


 When Equity takes jurisdiction it will still honor the precepts and requirements of the law; therefore, there is a true balance in equity jurisprudence in the applications and principles of Law side by side with the Maxims of Equity that assure justice. But what is Law? Is it the legal codes we have discussed in this work, or is it principles of justice based on fairness and mutual benefit combined with mutual respect. The common Law has a basis in the principles of right and wrong and the proper balancing of accounts due to harm done or breaches of contracts. In this Equity will follow the Law.  

 
EQUITY WILL NOT AID A VOLUNTEER   


This is simple. Our entire system as briefly described above is one in which we have volunteered into the condition and circumstances that we have accepted and allowed. We have volunteered to be sureties for perpetual debt. We have volunteered to be debt slaves to a monetary system that has gone mad with greed. As such, we have no access to Equity, we are only afforded the privileges and benefits that the “system” deems we deserve, and what can be given can be taken away. Equity will not come to our aid when we are a volunteer. Thus, we must rescind that voluntary status and stand on our rights with vigilance and equanimity, in order to see Equity done in this world and to receive the aid that Equity (and our equitable interests and beneficial rights) has in store for us on all levels of our existence.

   
EQUITY WILL NOT COMPLETE AN IMPERFECT GIFT   


 This, too, is simple. The gift we have been given is the Gift of Life. But it remains imperfect for we have not completed it. We have instead volunteered to have our lives and our Life Force bonded into servitude, to be the cannon fodder and the substance from which the martial rules of war control everything. Instead of perfecting the Gift of Life we have volunteered into a Cult of Death. When one truly delves deep into the world system this is entirely self-evident. It is a world of death and destruction and we have allowed ourselves to be the voluntary substance from which it is extracted. Our volunteer status ultimately means we have willingly participated in the destruction of Life. We have never perfected the Gift of Life and the consequences are manifest all around us. It is time to perfect the Gift.   
 
WHERE EQUITIES ARE EQUAL, THE LAW WILL PREVAIL   


 Law will settle matters when equities are equalized. But we have never “done equity” and therefore, we have no basis in Law, we have no status or standing or capacities in the Law, as we are only bonded in legal codified systems of bondage. We have abandoned our estate (the Gift of Life) and thereby we have neither Law nor Equity, and we certainly do not have Life in its fullest expression and potential. It’s time to change that!

   
BETWEEN EQUAL EQUITIES THE FIRST IN ORDER OF TIME SHALL PREVAIL   


 A prior claim of rights and equities prevails, and thus, we, as a collective body, are proclaiming our Equitable Interests and Beneficial Rights, not only for ourselves but for all of humanity, because as the last maxim states below, we are the true owners as the beneficiaries of this Global Estate, if and when we perfect this Gift of Life and do what ought to be done. We are in fact the first in line with priority interest in our own lives and estates. They were the gift of creation at our very beginning and we are the first in time once we claim that right and stand on it.   
 
EQUITY WILL NOT ALLOW A STATUTE TO BE USED AS A CLOAK FOR FRAUD   


As is abundantly self-evident the current legal system based on statutes and institutionalized rape of the population and pillage of the common good is nothing more than a massive cloak for fraud. We must enter Equity to terminate such travesties of justice and pull the cloak and curtain away from the cowering wizards hiding behind their veils of illusion.

   
EQUITY WILL NOT ALLOW A TRUST TO FAIL FOR WANT OF A TRUSTEE   


 Our world and its system have been structured as a global trust. It is also an estate that we the people have abandoned and the trust remains even though the trustees have abrogated their fiduciary duties and therefore the trustee has departed. Nevertheless, a trust will not fail for want of the trustee. Therefore, what is required is that we step forward as the true owners of the trust and estate and command the trustees to adhere to their duties and not run wild with pillaging the substance of the trust as we have allowed them to do for many centuries and even millennia. The time is now to say enough. It is time to stand and invoke a new trustee that holds Life in Sacred Trust.  

 
EQUITY REGARDS THE BENEFICIARY AS THE TRUE OWNER   


 Finally, the beneficiary, We the People, the collective body of humanity, is in fact the true owner of the Trust and Global Estate. But we too have abandoned our post. We have raped and pillaged the substance and fabric of Life for our own self-interests and have abandoned the fiduciary responsibilities incumbent upon us to preserve and protect the Gift of Life. Now, the hour is late, we are almost past the point of no return. If we wish to pass on the inheritance of Life to succeeding generations then we must act, and thus, we humbly present this 


Overview of the World System of Bondage to provide the means to awake more who might come into the awareness and understanding we have shared. Overall, it is critical to remember this is not about revenge or making others pay for their deeds. The Universal Principles of Equity and Justice will take care of that.   It is our purpose and intention to bring forth the gifts we have been given to contribute to the solutions as required, because if one is not part of the solution then one is part of the problem. If we wish to have a world that is best for all then we must follow the maxim that to those who have more shall be given, which translates to the understanding that the duty and responsibility to bring forth a solution in this world belongs to those who have been given its gifts, and a very sacred duty it is.   


 We accept those gifts and thus perfect them in Equitable standing and we take upon ourselves the incumbent responsibility that such acceptance requires. Of course, the second part of that maxim states that to those who have not shall be taken away. This indicates that the denial of Life will now have the utmost consequences for those who continue to choose to deny their responsibilities to Life and to this World. This is an individual choice for all. We are in fact the True Beneficiaries of Life but we can only perfect that gift with the commitment to the responsibility that lies before us to return this World to Life, True Order and Equitable Balance, in harmony with all of Creation.   
 
 None are more hopelessly enslaved than Those who falsely believe they are free!
 Proverbs 11:15   He who is guarantor for a stranger will surely suffer for it,   But he who hates being a guarantor is secure   Proverbs 17:18   A man lacking in sense pledges and   Becomes guarantor in the presence of his neighbor   Do not be among those who give pledges, Among those who become guarantors for debts




 

Understanding it goes much further, according to Vail, Equity is an ancient judicial system originating in England by which courts apply principles of general fairness in situations where application of the common law would bring about injustice. Article III of the U.S. Constitution extends the judicial power of courts to both cases in law and in equity. While the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure combined law and equity into a single type of suit—the civil action—in 1938, the distinction between law and equity is still very much alive. Claims in equity afford different remedies, do not permit a right to trial by jury under the Seventh Amendment (indeed, equitable claims must be decided by the judge even if a jury is deciding other claims at law), and equitable remedies are generally unavailable when there is an “adequate remedy at law.”


While they do not constitute binding precedent in US courts, equitable claims and the courts that preside over them are traditionally guided by the 20 Maxims of Equity, which are certainly persuasive precedent. The 11th Circuit was kind enough to recently gather 13 of these maxims in one place in Slater v. U.S. Steel Corp., 820 F.3d 1193, 1247 (2016), but of course we pride ourselves in creating a more comprehensive list:


1. One who seeks equity must do equity: this is “[p]erhaps one of the most basic maxims of equity.” Anstalt v. Ness Energy Int’l, Inc., Case No. 10-1218-D (W.D. Okla. Mar. 28, 2012). Simply put, a party petitioning the court for equitable relief must be willing to fulfill all of its own obligations.


2. Equity will not suffer a wrong to be without a remedy: “The equitable power of a court is not bound by cast0iron rules but exists to do fairness and is flexible and adaptable to particular exigencies so that relief will be granted when, in view of all the circumstances, to deny it would permit one party to suffer a gross wrong at the hands of the other.” PCS Nitrogen, Inc. v. Ross Dev. Corp., 126 F. Supp. 3d 611, 642 (D.S.C. 2015) (quoting Hooper v. Ebenezer Sr. Servs. & Rehab. Ctr., 386 S.C. 108 (2009)).


3. Equity regards as done what ought to be done: “It is a fiction of equity designed to effectuate the obvious intention of the parties and to promote justice.” Rodeck v. U.S., 697 F. Supp. 1508 (D. Minn. 1988).


4. Equity is a sort of equality: “As the FMCRA is silent on the question of priority, and as ‘equity is equality,’ we find that the proper course here is to distribute the limited funds on a ratable basis, such that each claimant receives ‘a share of the fund proportionate to their share of the total judgment figure.’” Commercial Union Ins. Co. v. U.S., 999 F.2d 581 (D.C. Cir. 1993) (citing Dobbs, The Law of Remedies § 2.12 at 130).


5. Equity aids the vigilant, and not those who slumber on their rights: This is the basis for the equitable defense of laches. See Eason v. Whitmer, Case No. 20-12252 (E.D. Mich. Sep. 9, 2020) (quoting Hays v. Port of Seattle, 251 U.S. 233, 239 (1920)).


6. Equity imputes an intent to fulfill an obligation: Near performance of a general obligation is sufficient unless the law requires perfect performance. See Union Trust Co. of Maryland v. Townsend, 101 F. 2d 903 (4th Cir. 1939).


7. Equity acts in personam: Equity acts on the duties of people, not objects, or “[e]quity acts in personam, not in rem.” Diallo v. Redwood Invs., LLC, Case No. 18-cv-1793 (S.D. Cal. Aug. 6, 2019). Today, the term “people” includes legal entities like corporations.


8. Equity abhors a forfeiture: Largely foreclosed (pun intended) today by statute, the original theory was that if one failed to make a payment for property received on time and had that property seized at law, they could pay the debt late and recover the property in equity. Today, it may be more important to understand the “exception to the general rule that ‘equity abhors a forfeiture’ . . . [which] states that ‘forfeiture is favored, when, instead of working a loss or injury contrary to equity, it promotes justice and equity and protects the owner against the indifference, laches, and injurious conduct of the lessee.” Bezilla v. Tug Hill Operating, LLC, Case No. 5:17-cv-123 (N.D.W. Va. Nov. 13, 2017) (internal citations omitted).


9. Equity does not require an idle gesture: “‘If the employee desires reinstatement for strategic purposes, that is a valid basis for denial’ . . . ‘Equity does not engage in idle gestures,’ and the Court will not order Plaintiff to work as a material handler at Volvo without it being unambiguously clear that she still wants this job.” Arroyo v. Volvo Grp. N. Am., LLC, Case No. 12-cv-6859 (N.D. Ill. Jul. 13, 2017) (internal citations omitted).


10. He who comes into equity must come with clean hands: “The equitable defense of unclean hands requires that ‘[h]e who comes into equity must come with clean hands.’” E.O.H.C. ex rel. M.S.H.S. v. Barr, Case No. 5:19-cv-06144-JDW (E.D. Pa. Jan. 22, 2020) (citing Keystone Driller Co. v. Genn. Excavator Co., 290 U.S. 240, 241 (1933).


11. Equity delights to do justice, and not by halves: “At the remedy stage – a violation having been established – it may be appropriate to resolve marginal doubts against the wrongdoers. Courts should not be gruding in remedying injustice. ‘Equity delights to do justice, and not by halves.’” Jeffers v. Clinton, 756 F. Supp. 1195 (E.D. Ark. 1990).


12. Equity will take jurisdiction to avoid a multiplicity of suits: Good luck today with this one. While the spirit of this maxim may remain alive, it has largely been subsumed by rules concerning MDL, class actions, collective actions, and case law on the topic. “This case does not come within the principle that equity will take jurisdiction to avoid a multiplicity of suits.” Ohio Farmers’ Ins. v. Yoas, 65 F.2d 651 (9th Cir. 1933).


13. Equity follows the law: “As Justice Story explained, ‘[w]here a rule [of] . . . the statute law is direct and governs the case with all its circumstances, or the particular point, a court of equity is as much bound by it, as a court of law.’” Ibson v. United Healthcare Servs., Inc., 877 F.3d 384 (8th Cir. 2017) (quoting Joseph Story, Commentaries on Equity Jurisprudence § 64 (12th ed. 1877).


14. Equity will not assist a volunteer: “An unjust enrichment claim will not lie, however, if the benefit is conferred ‘by a volunteer or intermeddler.’” Al-Sabah v. World Bus. Lenders, LLC, Case No. SAG-18-2958 (D. Md. Jul. 9, 2020). And conversely, in restitution claims, equity will not create a quasi-contract to a promisee if no consideration was provided (a “volunteer” in 18th Century English).


15. Equity will not complete an imperfect gift: “Equity will not make [a trust] where none has been clearly declared. A defective or imperfect gift will not be converted into a trust.” Weil v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 82 F.2d 561 (5th Cir. 1936).


16. Where equities are equal, the law will prevail: “In any event the equity of the taxpayer is no greater than that of the United States and when equities are equal, the legal title will prevail.” Travel Industries of Kansas v. U.S., 425 F.2d 1297 (10th Cir. 1970).


17. Between equal equities the first in order of time shall prevail: The general principle with regard to real property is “first in time, first in right.” Bank of Am., N.A. v. Esplanade at Damonte Ranch Homeowners’ Ass’n, 3:16-CV-00116-RCJ-VPC (D. Nev. May 23, 2017). 


Comparing timing with legal and equitable claims, “[u]nder the common law, an earlier claim had priority over a later claim if both claims were legal claims . . . The same was true if both claims were equitable . . . [order in time] only mattered under the common law where [one party] had a legal claim and a competing earlier claim to the property was purely equitable.” Id.


18. Equity will not allow a statute to be used as a cloak for fraud: “Courts of equity, independently of any statute, will relieve against fraud, if proceedings are seasonably brought after its discovery. Indeed, to use the language of Lord Cottenham, a court of equity will wrest property fraudulently acquired, not only from the perpetrator of the fraud, but ‘from his children and his children’s children,’ or, as was said in another English case, ‘from any person to whom he may have parcelled out the fruits of his fraud.’” Citizens Bank v. Leffler, 228 Md. 262, 269 (Md. 1962).


19. Equity will not allow a trust to fail for want of a trustee: Even if a trustee dies before the creation of a testamentary trust, for example, or if the trustee is incompetent at the time she accepts the position, these failures would not cause the creation of the trust to fail. See, e.g., Fulk & Needham, Inc. v. U.S., 288 F. Supp. 39, 44 (M.D.N.C. 1968).


20. Equity regards the beneficiary as the true owner: Another historical maxim that no longer applies—common law once provided no action by the beneficiary of a trust against the trustee, but that has since changed with the common law claim for breach of fiduciary duty.
