There is much happening locally here in my town and I feel a great energy building up at local level. I will post in my blog something on this. Here is why money paradigm must change..

Imagine their is just one root problem in the world focusing on which will make you come to a possibility that addresses all the symptoms like corporate greed, overpoulation, mass poverty, inequality, trashing of human life, human-trafficking, pollution and destruction of habitat, natural diversity, hunger,cancer.. illness….on and on.

Are you willing to devote one day or couple of days to really understand it…a view of a non-expert but a practical philosopher who happens to think deeply about life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Here is your chance…provided your mind is already not full with conventional wisdom, intellectual arguments or polarized dual thinking. It does require whole heart-brain approach and a love of life.

See Life precedes pursuit of liberty and happiness. Life is a profoundly rich, beautiful web of interconnecting relationships and energy at many levels… biological, ecological, physical, mental and spiritual all working in balance and harmony…our body naturally maintains it. In our mind we are polarized and divided. Yet we humans are spending all our lives in pursuit of money than pursuit of precious LIFE…running or progressing backwards it seems.

Now should we not take a moment or long to reflect on what money is, how it is issued, comes into circulation and allocated. See money is the life blood of society and if our blood/sweat/labor that is money contains cancer, would not all human institutions and human mind/brain affected by that? Without much adieu here is my view…may I have your deep attention please. Thanks.

I like very much what is happening at the community level in terms of sustainable communities Network, local living economies, Balle, Flow and many such networks of conscious living and business.

However we need to focus on what is the problem with existing Debt-based Usury-based (charging compound interest on fiat money that has no inherent value) and centralized-commercial banking (money is issued as debt/loan to people, businesses and goverment out of thin air by central banks and banking system here and almost globally). It requires deep thinking how this money system is causing so many dysfunctions under name of free-market and democracy.

We do not have truely free democracy, here you see why and what has been kept secret from public. You must see this movie.

Here is another whole perspective on money. Life is an indivisible whole and we cannot understand or serve the pursuit of Life, Liberty, happiness with reductionist, dualistic thinking in economics, politics and science. It requires deep thinking and understanding.

Transforming money: From debt to empowerment

Our right to petition the government is our greatest right and grossly unfair systems like central banking can be easily changed and the power of issueing money can be peacefully restored to people. Wake up yourself and others. Thanks for your attention and action.

This issue is so gigantic and vast that your mind may spin for a while. Freedom cannot be kept with ignorance intact. can it??

You can have all the above community initiatives but how do you fight the power of global usurious corporate centralized banking (and increasing the debt-slavery of people) that is funding the dinosaur like prison-intelligenge-industrial-war-media-propaganda complex with your labor and sweat and children's future!

Energy goes where attention flows. Each of us need to wake up and awaken others. The conscious journey has begun.

Susmita,

I enjoyed reading your response.

The Money Paradigm has always been of interest to me. I see through my life I have been in fields of giving (nonprofit), yet those fields don't pay a decent living. So at times, I've struggled, not wanting to be a sell out and go towards something that's not feeding my soul.

I would love to have the mantra really come true that “I am, with ease and effortlessness, provided for monetarily for the positive energy I put out into the world by making the planet a more peaceful place.” It's not coming true for me, so I need to reevaluate my premise and affirmation, or how I am approaching the universe asking for guidance and support.

Any suggestions appreciated?

Hi Lisa

My vision about transforming money was inspired by finding ways to eliminate money struggle for all people who really cannot live their potential or bring their gift or do their work because of the nagging money problem. Our relationship with money is shaped by our experience growing up…if we see too much lack or poverty, or suffering/struggle/stingyness/quarrel or unhappiness in family/parents over money..we develop a negative association with money. We like to have money but money is the root of suffering/struggle/evil …these vibrations do not allow us to attract money. Acknowledge even a penny you see in the street. Pick it up with excitement. Watch the flow coming in even miniscule and bless the flow going out.

So replacing those beliefs/images with positive one that feels Ok within you is needed. Blessing the money as it leaves your hand or you receive it, appreciation and gratitude for it raises your vibration. You cannot attract anything into your life from a feeling of lack except lack. A good book would be “Ask and it is given” by Abraham-hicks.

Also what you want for yourself wish it for others…give some coins or dollar..to any doantion bowl or cause you like…trusting universe to bring many times of that.

Thanks for Blessing my intention here. Blessings for abundance and good luck to you.

“Greed and fear of scarcity are being continuously created and amplified as a direct result of the kind of money we are using.”

Yes, by it's very definition money automatically sets us up for lack, automatically creates the dual dimension of rich and poor, have and have nots, and the most sad of all - the powerful and the powerless. That which we use everyday undermines our good intentions. Me included…of course. I pay the rent, fill up the gas tank, and get food too! All with a low-grade (yet extremely common) sense of devalue. “I am less compaired to Oprah to Bill Gates to the president, etc.” On a scale of 1-10, lets see, today I'd put Oprah as a 10 and me as a 2.

I notice how I automatically function “where the rubber meets the road” at this 10-2 scale. But the idealistic (or spiritual?) part of me knows better. It knows that not only is it a 10-10 scale, but that there really isn't a scale at all. Or, if the scale is 10-10, then what use is there to even have a scale in the first place? (Sounds like a line in WTBDWK?!)

Of course what I am exploring here is me somehow coming to grips with a sense of authentic empowerment. There's a part of me that knows that even though it is normal for a human being to feel “less than” or depowered, I sense that there is a reality where it is natural for a human being to feel equal to others and empowered within ourselves!

“Within ourselves” is key I feel. For even though money empowers us TO exchange (and is external to us), like putting on some new clothes, personal empowerment has nothing to do with anything or anyone external. It is an internal fact.

I just thought of a quote by Robert Ingersoll that I'd like to paraphrase - If we are empowered, it is a fact of nature, not a matter of belief.

Yes it has to start with inner revolution and empowerment for any external shift in paradigm of money. The currentsystem of money is based on colonnial thinking and much of society is stuck or showing myriad signs of dysfunctions because of faulty design of money and banking system.

Here is more thoughts on Conscious Money and why we need it.
