Re: Why cannot earth folks envision a world without MONEY!
I'd like to know who the first psychopath was that invented money.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1546672


The first man that realized that trading goods was better than working as individuals with each person doing EVERYHING for himself. Or the first man that realized that using currency to facilitate those trades made things much more convenient.


Whoever it was was a genius
 Quoting: Real list


I said money. People bartered before money and traded goods with no problem. Money has to be issued by somebody and that somebody owns everybody that uses the money. Indigenous people that do everything for themselves usually only work a few hours every day and spend the rest of the day and night lounging around and socializing. With money comes stress because you are working a whole lot longer than you are meant to be. The human being is capable of accomplishing great things in short bursts but not laboring all day for the rest of their life without having problems come up. With money comes war and kings. You can't pay soldiers in food and with war comes slaves.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1546672


Yep, just look to people who live outside of our forced reality.

People who are not part of "modern society" dont use money. They hunt (food/supplies) for 2-8 hours. Then socialize, relax with family etc.

It can be done. It was done before. It is still being done.
 Quoting: Revguard


You can complete your 'hunt' in 2 to 8 hours per WEEK. 1 trip to the grocery. That is 14 to 56 hours less than the tribal folks. You have 14 to 56 more idle hours per week.

Or you have 14 to 56 hours per week to earn your trip to the store, your heat, the conveniences of:

not preparing every meal from scratch including building a fire

not having to hunt/gather every day or no food for you

not having to blaze new trails for every journey (highway system)

not depending on witch doctor magic for your health needs.

Besides, OP said there is no need (in her world) to revert to the stone age if money were eliminated.

Re: Why cannot earth folks envision a world without MONEY!
Honestly..it is very hard to envision. I say that because it's how we have all been conditioned to have and need. Would be amazing if we all just worked and made everything out of gratitude and endless love for one another. There would be no war, no stealing, no hunger or greed..it's a beautiful concept no doubt and know that money is just pieces of paper..but at this point, we need it.

Problem is, the world has become so greedy and selfish that that kind of world would be very hard to come by.

One can only dream though..

"Life lived by the average individual is hypnotic; that is, the majority of men and women are not living life as it was intended at all. Not one in a million feels the freedom to live how he or she inwardly feels they should live. They have come under the world opinion of themselves and this is the opinion that they obey, rather than the law of their own being."
"They live under the delusion that they are mere human beings, living in a merely material world, and the only hope of escape is to die and to go on to what they call heaven. This is not what was intended in the plan and purpose of life. Obedience to one's inner nature, the expression of life as they instinctively feel it ought to be expressed, is the very foundation of life and the only true mode of living. True mastery is living the instruction of the inner teacher, the inner self, and not seeking the opinions of the world."

Re: Why cannot earth folks envision a world without MONEY!
imagine a world where we didnt work for money, but for the pride and satisfaction of doing the work we did.

how many can honestly say the takey pride and satisfaction in theír work, its not even 50% of us, is my bet

if everything was free, would people still steal?
would people be more tempted to share an item that didnt have any "value" ?
 Quoting: Michael_


thats how i feel. i work in construction. my job is necessary for people and i do take pride in my work. imagine all that would get done if all the lawyers and advertisers and any other useless job or job that is only there because of money were gone and everyone did something productive or at least helped people in some way. people wouldn't be starving if we made all the lawyers farmers on some lot that used to be a golf coarse.

Re: Why cannot earth folks envision a world without MONEY!
People can't live without it but they will have to soon enough. Imagine not being able to get your hair cut on a regular basis without having any money. How are you going to feed your family? How will you build a home if you don't know how to cut down the trees to create the lumber you need?
electricity, what is that?
We can create windmills that will help produce electricity and you can build your own solar panels,too. Wood stoves will come in handy.
Things will have to be relearned allover again and humans will have to learn how to be come self sufficient to survive.

The money you so cherish now will become your toilet paper one day. Why do you think there are no jobs? they want people to learn to become more self-sufficent. and you will learn how,too.

Re: Why cannot earth folks envision a world without MONEY!
IT IS NOT THAT HARD PEOPLE. Some folks didn't like my butting into this thread this evening. Thread: What is the reason for money?

So lets just do it under my name and YOU butt into this one with VISION. Living without money does not need serfdom. And it does not mean going back to the hunter gatherer stage either, nor to an agrarian live. It does not mean you trade your organic back yard grown veggies to a carpenter to build your house either.

The carpenter to build you house does not have to do something to acquire the wood, shingles, plumbing, electrical wiring and all the rest to build your house for his groceries. YOU CAN DO BETTER.

HUMAN is different from the animals because human can envision. I have had in fact 3 cats that have gotten a father fragment because they began to envision something beyond CAT. Leave out the Father Fragment though for this time, its not a thread on religion or cosmology.

Can you ones see no further ahead than working away your lives under the control of others? Can you not see your enslavement? I have never had a free day in my life on this world. NOT ONE. While I have "free time" to write here on GLP, I had to pay for the computer, and I have to pay for the electricity to run it, and most importantly I have to pay for the internet connection to get here.

And some pour soul likely earned next to nothing to bring me the expensive mac in the first place because the way international currency works. I have no idea who builds all the parts to a mac, then there is the shipping, packaging to ship and all that stuff that makes the world of apple go round.

I want to leave religion out of this, but I will not leave spirituality and some cosmology out of it. I have to make one statement, you are so missing out on the spirituality stuff, that you have bought the false heaven lie, which allows you to let yourself live as slaves, in hopes of a reward in heaven where you never have to work again, you can have parties with Jesus for eternity of trillions of years. Yes some of you do think that way, do not deny it.

Well guess what, Jesus has returned and he has worked his butt off for you since then. He worked his butt off finding places for you to go at the time this world is closed down and that is soon. Because you have destroyed your world and you have done so by allowing MONEY to be used to squelch your creative minds and reduce you to enslaved beings. And there are plenty of people who will post here that I am coo coo around this idea, they did already in the thread above and they have done so in the other threads on money.

I am NOT COO COO on this. Guess what, you will always work SOME in all of your life eternal. You will always live on planets of some sort. There is no heaven up in them their clouds to float in. Jesus LIVES on a planet except right now he lives on a CRAFT. Crafts are heaven people. You do not fly the friendly universe until you have earned the right to do so. The galactic wars are over and every race on every world must earn the right to fly or you stay on your prison world until you do. Work does NOt every go away.

Your angel work, didn't that occur to you? Do they get paid digital credits or paper bills for it? NO.

In the friendly universe everyone GIFTS their skills. Period. Now enough for tonight, I will continue this tomorrow and see what's posted in it. You are going to learn to expand your consciousness, or you are going to stay as fools on fools planets. This was the teaching left out of your bible.

"Truly, I say to you, wisdom must be learned from the laws of Creation, which humans may recognize in nature. But if humans do not think and seek, they will not be able to attain wisdom and will remain fools.There is no higher happiness than wisdom, no better friend than knowledge, and no other saviour than the power of the spirit."


If you do not get that POWER of your SPIRIT up and running, you are moving to other stupid worlds full of fools. OK. Can I be any clearer of that one?

Now would someone help me out here and list all the shit you have to pay for in this life? To pay for your shit, (and you do pay sewer fees to your water company to process your shit, do you not, quite litterally), you have to work hours almost beyond your endurance, and submit to enslavement. Every single person that is employed is a slave and every single employer manages slaves. PONDER THAT ONE FOR IT IS TRUTH. Good night. peace on earth (and you won't have peace either until the money goes away.)

Re: Why cannot earth folks envision a world without MONEY!
Let us wait until we truly experience the oneness in each other and are able to see the other as yourself in another life and experience then how can you charge yourself when you help yourself? You do it because you help yourself attain the best and you get good feelings from that.

Another way is through technology. Scientists already know that material is energy in a specific state.
Wait till they find out how to manipulate all that infinite energy that surrounds us and create from seemingly thin air all the things we want by manipulating energy through technology.
Yes you could create gold and diamons as much as you want but when your neighbour can create it also what is the value of it? You can't eat it, you can show it off but the other can do that too.
Life will then be everything about abundance and not shortages. Gold and everything that has value now will become worthless.

So there are some scenarios which are not that hard to come up with when the fantasy goes a bit wild giving a few examples either through spirituallity or through technology.

No, I did not forget. That was the point of my saying 14 to 56 FREE hours per WEEK. Tose hours sort of correspond to an average work week. Which compares to primative hunter/gatherer work week, according to Anonymous Coward 1546672

Modern money has little intristic value. Therefor it MUST be a REPRESENTATION of real wealth (value). Therefor, is money is the root of all evil, real wealth is he root of all evil. That is a falacy. The love of wealth is evil, placing an undue importance on the ACCUMULATION of wealth (greed) is the real evil.

I'm sorry my friend, but your information is incorrect:

First off; money is just "ink on paper"......so it cannot be evil or good(simply printed)! But it is the intent on how its spent that determines its worth!

So it is the human aspect that is at question here.....not the money itself!

....And Secondly; Jesus did NOT "whip the money changers" as your bible tells you: THIS WAS THE LIE that was concocted, in order to get the man arrested! He was a "Christed Beings", and NEVER would have done such a thing!

"The love that you withhold is the pain that you carry"

“To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart, to bear all cheerfully, to all bravely await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.”

Re: Why cannot earth folks envision a world without MONEY!
You forgot the hunt for the money to pay for the groceries. I don't agree with OP on civilization without money. Money can't be undone. It's here to stay because people would never give up the convenience of having a system based on money. I'm not trying to change the world or convince anybody to stop using money and I'm just saying what is obvious and that is money is the root of all evil.

No, money is NOT the "root of all evil".......but the worshiping of money can be!!!

Never-the-less: Money CAN BE "undone"........but it is the choice of each individual to take steps to overcome THAT condition!

Manifesting is VERY REAL, for those who understand the workings of the Spirit! imho :)

Most people don't know this.

During that period the jewish people had to pay their tax with a particular coin, the half shekel. The money changers were exchanging these coins for whatever forms of money the jewish people happened to posess. (The jewish people came from all over the country to be counted in a census and pay their taxes). The money changers were charging a high premuim for the exchange, effectively cheating the people. And to top that, they were committing this wrong in God's house. That is what made Jesus go off on them.

Jesus did not condemn the money, he condemned the actions of the men.
