SELF-PUBLISHED BOOKS

This book traces my journey from disempowerment to self-awareness through the lenses of Human Design and Evolutionary Astrology — a language of numbers, harmonics, and planetary cycles interpreted through myth.

While it is not a study of these languages, readers can certainly learn from their unique perspectives on their own individuation journey of liberation from generational and personal trauma. Within these frameworks, I also explore the historical roots of economic systems, the origins of banking, and their connections to political and ecclesiastical authority.

Written in a non-linear, deeply personal, and self-reflective style, the book invites readers to create space for their own reflection. The illustrations are playful, adding a unique visual element to the text.

My philosophy integrates Eastern, ancestral, and cosmological traditions with psychological inquiry, praxeology, and Austrian economics, emphasizing liberty, value, resources, and self-worth in pursuing individual and societal service.

This book is a body of 33 vertebrae, each one a station where consciousness moves through structure. Throughout the spine of this work, consciousness moves through the art of violence and private property, the nature of value and scarcity, the architecture of belief, the practice of integrity, the risk of being right, the cartography of awareness, calibration, the divine in the body, the courage to embody, and the many stations in between.

The method pays homage to one of my favorite books, Italo Calvino's seminal Invisible Cities, where Marco Polo and Kublai Khan live and become alive in Calvino's readers. Monika enters a similar form, moving through time and across disciplines to sit with the figures who most shaped her thinking: Dante, Borges, Aristotle, Mises, Locke, Jung, Bergson, Origen, Franklin, Frenkel, Satoshi, and many others. It is a play between fictional dialogues and synthesis in her own voice, where inherited knowledge meets what she has lived, tested, and integrated through the body.

The first book, The Nature of My Reality, was an explanation of how she works and who she is, a record written so she could understand herself through different systems. This book is the process it took to establish what she considers valuable and why. It is the architecture of that understanding, built from the inside out.

What could be seen as only philosophical is actually an inquiry that completes itself in the body, after the book is put down. The process that Monika had from the very beginning, when she started writing in early spring of 2025, was a rewiring of her nervous system. This invisible structure of value became the thread that was woven where she could feel and breathe it, and the writing became a somatic method for her own unfolding.
