The Institute for Currency Studies

How currency shapes our world.

What role does debt-based currency play in our everyday lives?

From school to environmental care, to health and well-being, currency not only shapes our way of life — it is a reflection of it.

We are at the precipice between an old way of life, and a new way of life.

The old way of life necessitated a particular kind of thinking, which was rooted in the idea of debt and of valuation. In this old system, one human life could be worth more than another human life. Also in this old system, the destruction of our vital resources for life, could be justified as a means to produce debt-based currency.

The new way of life necessitates the understanding that we are one humanity, and that there is no human life which is more or less valuable than another human life. This new way of life empowers us to care for one another and to care for our vital resources upon this planet, as we understand that this is the true path to wealth.

This website is set up to help you to understand how the debt-based system worked, as a mental pattern influencing our state of being.

The Institute for Currency Studies provides resources for understanding the nature of debt-based currency as a basis for how and why we once experienced life, and what is present for us now. We offer one-on-one and group sessions, in addition to bespoke research and consulting services. Contact us here.

In Syntactic Structures (1953), Noam Chomsky provides a fascinating window into the structure of syntax — how we form our sentences — and the very nature of thought as precise, rule-oriented trees in formation.

But what is the origin of the formation itself? Chomsky has sought to identify the source of the pattern upon which human cognition operates. While this pattern is made evident in large language models used to form artificial intelligence, it is neither the same, nor as efficient in problem solving, as the human design. In fact, the human brain was recently found to be 225,000 times more energy efficient than the large language models used by AI.

Was the template for human thought created via the installation of the Pythagorean Solids or the seven-note Diatonic Scale? Or was the template created utilizing something much more basic, much more rudimentary?

Anthropologic evidence indicates that this binary pattern of human thought indeed emerged from a single premise: I.

Interpretations of the allegory of Plato’s cave show us that prisoners view only the projection of shadows on a cave wall presented before them; once the prisoners are released, the world illuminated by the sun presents a new reality. Perhaps, this is a third-dimensional reality contrasted with the two-dimensional nature of reality presented to us by the mind operating on a binary codex.

The mind presents to us the notion of self, and other. It is this one right angle that empowers the Solomonic cube Pythagoreas assigned to earth, and the entire structure of speech upon which human cognition has operated for centuries. It is only the idea of self and other that empowers the human mind to operate on a series of cubes, known as logic.

All of human logic exists on the assumption that one part must be true. Without this single truth as a causation, all logic fails. The truth upon which modern human circuitry runs in order to empower a debt-based relational system, is the idea of a separate self. It is this idea of a separate self that empowers the idea of guilt, or debt.

Philosophers and neuroscientists such as Daniel Dennett and Thomas Metzinger argue that the "self" is not a physical entity but a functional, cognitive interface—a computational representation the brain uses to navigate the world. If so, from where does its pattern emerge, and what are the conditions for its evolution?

Cognitive Origin?

When Currency Evolves

“Seen in the light of evolution, biology is, perhaps, intellectually the most satisfying and inspiring science. Without that light, it becomes a pile of sundry facts—some of them interesting or curious, but making no meaningful picture as a whole." — Theodosius Dobzhansky, American Biology Teacher, March 1973

The image on the right was created by New Zealand artist Jacob Adlington; light was reflected on the surface of a circular body of water, while vibrating at a pure sine wave frequency of 41hz.

“Mandalas are universal to the human psyche. We recognise them everywhere across time and culture, all the way to macro worlds of nature itself. Notice how the mathematical ratios of these naturally forming Sound-Mandalas align with elements of sacred geometry,” — Jacob Adlington

The Inevitable Entropy of Logic

Do the brain wave frequencies associated with inductive and deductive logic produce a specific geometry? Moreover, does a system of logic reach a point of maximum capacitance to produce coherant thought, emotion, and action patterns?

The answer to the first question seems to be yes, generally, and the answer to the second question seems to be an astounding and fascinating yes. The implications for debt, or logic-based currency, are astounding. Beta brain waves typically associated with the cognitive function of logic — if A then B — exist in a band between 13hz - 30hz. Frequencies in the range of 25hz to 30hz, meanwhile, produce the cube formation assigned to earth by Pythagoras and associated with Noam Chomsky’s mapping of the mind’s language-agnostic syntactic structures. Syntactic structures are uniform trees upon which hierarchical systems of logic run. Ninety-degree successions of induction and deduction are a hallmark of this system and also its achilles heal.

The human brain is encoded to act on the basis of these decision trees, and yet there are a finite number of thought, emotion, and action combinations the model can accomodate. For example, the program could produce an idea such as, “eggs are bad for me be-cause they are high in cholesterol.” The emotion associated with this idea may be fear, and the action associated with this idea — taken as a belief — may be to stop eating eggs. Seven years later, a new study may reveal that eggs are beneficial for human health, be-cause they contain ‘good’ cholesterol. The emotion associated with this idea may be joy, and the action associated with this idea — taken as a belief — may be to eat eggs.

When enough of these combinations run through a finite and closed system such as time, a point of invalidation occurs. This point of invalidation essentially chops down one-half of the logic tree necessary to produce a truth in the fashion of, “if A, then B.” This degree of invalidation, akin to entropy, was typically not experienced in the span of a human lifetime. Humanity rather reached a state known in computer science as “combinatorial explosion.” This occurs by virtue of the exponential growth of potential logic combinations which accumulate in the span of a given life. Eventually, the program runs out of processing time, memory, or the energy to evaluate new choices.

Resonance and Ideologies

Now, however, the advent of the internet and explosion of artificial intelligence is accelerating the entropy of logic via a phenomenon known in structural engineering as resonance. All form vibrates at a specified frequency; when a form encounters a force carrying the same frequency, its vibration is amplified to such a degree that structural collapse may occur. When we apply this idea to thought forms charged with emotion, we can see how ideological wars may escalate so quickly.

The emotional charge of one belief results in an escalation of the emotional charge of another belief, when the two beliefs are held in the same frequency, such as that of fear. Estimations for common human emotions measured by Psychiatrist Dr. David Hawkins begins at 20hz and identifies the 20hz - 30hz range we’ve been discussing with the experience of shame and guilt. Frequencies above the 200hz range are associated with a thriving human being; anything below 20hz is near to death.

The collapse of one’s belief in this manner leads to a rapid onset of emotion, as the frequency which was contained within the belief — and held within the body — releases. When we experience resonance which amplifies a positive emotional experience for the body, a mind in-tune with the body may choose to run higher frequency programs which match the positive experience. We find this to be the case in life-changing circumstances, such as near-death experiences and other encounters with the miraculous. The explosion of high frequency energy leads to “harmonic cascading,” or release of structures vibrating at lower frequencies.

No matter the mechanism for full and complete entropy of the mind operating in logic, in the wake of the destruction, humanity will find itself asking: “What is true?” It is this question which leads us to the evolution in the human mind; the evolution of the human mind is to relate truth to tangible experience. Relationships would look more like, “I enjoy spending time with this person. I will spend more time with this person,” as opposed to “This person is my relative. I am supposed to like my relative because this makes me a good person. I will make an effort to spend more time with this relative.” Moreover, life decisions will look more like, “I am going to take a walk and tend to my garden this morning,” versus, “I am going to commute in my car to work this morning because I need to earn money in order to live.”

The basis for doing anything becomes the sensorial, or tangible experience. It is the sensorial, or tangible experience, which becomes truth. If one’s intention is to live, one aligns lifestyle activities which genuinely support health and well-being; if one’s intention is to experience joy, one aligns lifestyle activities to that which brings joy.

‘Eventually, the program runs out of processing time, memory, or the energy to evaluate new choices.’

Get Involved

How do we practically move from one paradigm of transacting — rooted in debt and guilt — to one rooted in unity and mutual choice? The good news is that we do not need to force the change. Ready or not, our world is shifting. In order for humanity to evolve, it must.

The Institute for Currency Studies offers one-on-one and group sessions aimed at aligning the mental body to a completely new way of being.
