Editor’s note: I’m writing a brief piece on money and happened upon this article. I love his philosophy and have envisioned/intended such a society and way of Being for almost 25 years. It looks like he has a couple of insightful websites you all may be interested in. Check him out (in the click here to read more link below)!

The idea of money
It’s just an idea. One way of doing things. Similar to a nations voting system or how we treat the health care of our citizens. Over the last 50 years or so, most of the world has embraced the idea of “full coverage” single payer health for all its citizens. So health care is a 50 year idea.
But money is an idea that is over 10 thousand years old here on Earth. Meaning, some guy over 10,000 years ago decided intentionally implemented this. And here we are still doing it.
What if the level of consciousness was not that loving 10,000 years ago? Why would we choose to continue using an idea that was created from a human or being that existed when the conscious level of humans back then were extremely barbaric? I mean the Roman empire, the Spanish Inquisition, The Christian Crusades, Attila The Hun. We are not talking a very expanded, loving , compassionate and understanding mentality back then. They simply did not know how to do it.
We must remember that just over 2,000 years ago, a being that had Mastered love came and gave The Sermon On The Mount, and spoke of how things could be if we only chose to be more kind and loving to each other. And although in his presence everyone agreed that love and sharing was the best way for all concerned, when they were not in his presence they fell back to the same old “lower” consciousness of separation, ego, power and fear.
This same lower consciousness eventually led the beings from back then to “remove” this source of the idea of unconditional love, that they were simply not ready for. Yet. But the seed was planted and it grew and grew and grew and today, over 2,000 years later, we are thankfully not impaling people’s heads on stakes, or feeding people to the lions anymore. Why? We have evolved consciously. We are therefore more loving, more sharing and do not feel the need to elicit control over others, as much as we did back then. No, we are still not perfect Christed beings, yet; but we are also certainly not at the same level of consciousness of when someone in power, created the idea of money.
So why are we still using this outdated scheme of power and control over others? Why are we still paying for everything?
We pay for almost everything. Electricity, water, transportation(via fuel), housing, using whatever the local version of money is. And of course the local governing bodies control the creation of this money, literally out of thin air. How convenient for them right? It’s a good thing that the people who have power in these local governing bodies are not corrupt, else it could get nasty right? Luck for us all politicians are always in full integrity right? 🙂 Of course I am being sarcastic, today’s politicians have never been more corrupt, meaning our system of money is being manipulated in all kind of unscrupulously profiteering ways.
Time for a NEW idea. FREE everything! If its needed, its free.
