Money has become a liability for the human race. Tying our hopes and fortunes to the rise and fall of the financial markets is NOT how we should live our lives. The imminent world economic crash underscores that fact only too well.
We can survive — and thrive — without cash in the 21st century, but we need to change our relationship with it NOW before international market crashes lead to civil unrest or world war.
The hope is that this blog will start a global conversation about applying our combined creative talents in search of a new system for managing goods and services without the use of money, and for being proper stewards of this planet without consumerism driving how we manage its resources.
Some groups may desperately want to silence the conversation before it even begins, while others will risk everything to keep it going because both see themselves losing something very valuable: If money is abandoned, then the 1% risk the loss of their accumulated wealth and power. If things remain the same, then the 99% risk a life of wasted human potential by continuing to work just to survive and abandoning hope for a better life.
In the end, a full life and a fully-manifested potential should be everyone’s right and not dependent on how much currency or gold we have in the bank. Almost sounds like the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, doesn’t it?
The hope is that all of Humanity can evolve to have “the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to (our) fullest mental, spiritual and physical unfoldment,” (and not just those with money), but how we get there remains to be seen.
May the journey soon begin.
