Meditation on the Mirror and Natural Law

Meditation on the Mirror and Natural Law

There is an ancient error that has persisted through generations: the confusion of the mirror with the thing it reflects. The mirror's purpose is simple—it reveals what is before it, allowing us to see ourselves truly. But the mirror is not the cause of what it reflects. It does not create the image; it merely displays it.

Imagine a person standing before a mirror, dissatisfied with what they see. Instead of changing themselves, they reach out to polish or distort the glass, hoping to alter the reflection. Such an act is the height of folly—it reverses cause and effect. The image in the mirror cannot be changed unless the reality it reflects is changed first.

This error mirrors the way many view human laws and institutions. Natural law—the immutable foundation of life, liberty, property, and justice—is the original image. It is self-evident and universal, existing independently of courts, legislatures, or law enforcement agencies. These institutions are merely mirrors reflecting the understanding, commitment, and character of the people they serve.

To believe that courts or legislatures create the law is to mistake the reflection for the thing reflected. It is to believe that by manipulating the mirror—passing unjust statutes, enforcing unconstitutional orders, or codifying convenience into policy—we can alter the reality of natural law. But natural law remains unchanged, just as the face behind the mirror remains unaffected by the smudges or distortions on its surface.

The Use of the Mirror

The mirror is not useless; it serves a vital purpose. It helps us see ourselves as we truly are. It reveals truth and error, clarity and imperfection. Similarly, courts, laws, and legislatures serve as reflections of a society’s relationship with natural law. They show us how well—or poorly—we are living in harmony with the principles of justice, equity, and freedom.

But when we seek to change the reflection without addressing the reality, we invite disaster. Trying to legislate against the truths of natural law—by legalizing theft through usury, permitting violations of property rights, or enshrining tyranny—leads to inevitable failure. These attempts do not change the truth; they only expose the foolishness of those who believe they can escape it.

Natural Law and the Source of Authority

Natural law is the source of all legitimate human law. Courts, legislatures, and enforcement agencies have no authority apart from their alignment with this law. When they stray, they become illegitimate, mere distortions in the mirror. But these distortions are not self-caused. They are reflections of the people—of their choices, beliefs, and actions.

This is why personal responsibility is paramount. Each person has a duty to understand and live by natural law. No man or institution can take this responsibility from you, nor can you delegate it to another. Appeals to “the common good,” “precedent,” or personal convenience are often attempts to evade this duty. They are excuses for injustice, just as polishing a distorted mirror is an excuse to avoid self-reflection.

A Call to True Justice

Let us not fall into the trap of seeking in the courts or legislatures our preferred image or ruling. Instead, let us first look within and judge ourselves according to true justice. Ask: Have I lived in harmony with natural law? Have I upheld the principles of life, liberty, property, and fairness in my actions? Have I sought truth over convenience, justice over expedience?

Having made this self-assessment, only then should we seek a court to reflect the truth. Demand that the courts strip away all the papier-mâché façades and blemishes—laws and rulings that seek to appear just but fail to reflect the true character of justice itself. Let us hold these institutions accountable to reflect natural law, not man-made distortions that cater to selfish desires or temporary gain.

The mirror of law must reflect our collective character, but it begins with each of us. If we desire justice in our courts, we must live by justice in our hearts. Only then can we see institutions that align with truth, and only then can the reflection match the reality.

Citing RICO Violations to stop unlawful debt collections

Who is Zach Moore? and what to know about my movement If you’re reading this, take it as a call to prepare—for yourself, your family, and the world around you. At the heart of my movement is a simple but powerful truth:  any contract secured with a lie, or a claim not backed by anything real (like the U.S. dollar and debt), cannot be enforced.  Moreover, those who attempt to collect on these fraudulent contracts are committing crimes and are liable to RICO charges for perpetuating a system built on deception. I’m Zachary Moore, and I’m leading a movement to destroy the U.S. dollar, bankrupt billionaires, and end the tyranny of usury. I grew up in a trailer in Alabama, surrounded by the poverty and oppression that debt creates. I worked my way out, earning $550,000 a year as a top sales consultant, but in 2023, I realized I was part of the problem—a system built on lies, fiat currency, and the exploitation of human labor. So, I walked away. I quit my lucrative job, defaulted on...

  Supreme Court of the United States Zachary Moore v. Alliant Credit Union et al. Opinion of the Court by the voice of Justice Alito Delivered January 14, 2025 Today, this Court renders a decision of profound constitutional and societal importance. At issue is whether the foreclosure proceedings initiated by Alliant Credit Union against Mr. Zachary Moore—based on a mortgage loan derived from fiat currency—violated his constitutional rights under the Fifth, Thirteenth, and Fourteenth Amendments. This case also raises broader questions about the legality of a monetary system that facilitates perpetual debt cycles through fiat currency and usury. After careful consideration, we hold that the foreclosure proceedings, as applied to Mr. Moore, constitute an unconstitutional deprivation of his rights to property and due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Further, we find that the systemic exploitation inherent in the fiat currency system and its application to the facts of...

Response to Alliant Credit Union

  Re: Loan Number XXXX To whom it may concern, My name is Zachary Moore, owner of the property at [address redacted]. I received a letter in the mail from Alliant Credit Union dated December 15, 2023 citing information regarding a mortgage contract between myself and Alliant. I am challenging the validity of this contract.  As you know, in order for a contract to be valid, both parties must put up valid property for consideration. Without consideration, no contract can be lawfully valid.  This property must be rightfully owned by each party.  In the case of Alliant, the money loaned would need to be an asset on Alliant’s balance sheet prior to closing. As the loanee, I put up my own property for valid consideration. I put up a promissory note representing my ownership of my work and labor, a down payment of nearly $100,000, and title to the property at [address redacted] What property did Alliant put up? Please provide evidence that Alliant provided me, the loaner wi...
