Having money has nothing to do with getting everything you want. Having more money gives one a bigger tool to make a bigger outcome in the immediate environment surrounding oneself. There is nothing either evil or good about money. Money is simply religion, in that it can be bought, sold and traded for in any store and at any location in the world, even if someone else is already occupying it first. It is easy to examine what a society is concerned with by viewing the ways in which it channels money. Examine the present situation, we’ve recently had leaders in America who have justified spending more money on bombs and devices of mass destruction and surveillance than on education within the system. That is, we’ve had leaders who were so filled with fear and other people’s knowledge that they truly believed that protecting themselves and their generation was more important than producing evolved and consistently intelligent human beings. Why? Why do we as a people agree with our leaders who say that protection from death by any means necessary is more important than living life? Why do we choose to live in fear, when surely we could choose just as easily to not live in fear. To create a society with no conflicts within the system. To keep conflict outside of the system until the system has filled the space which allows its existence, this is surely the function of an intelligent organism. This begs the question if society is an intelligent organism. It could be, yet it chooses to live out of a center of fear and conflict, ambition and greed. Surely these things procreate further human misery. Speaking of peace while preparing for war is a sign of weakness and ignorance within the organism of society. Once there is a cancer of ignorance within, then the system destroys itself and begins again. This process is inherent in all of nature. Death is a function of life, it is a transitional stage of consciousness. It represents the unknown. We are taught to fear the unknown because it cannot be logically explained, it cannot be thought about. Once one begins to think about the unknown, the unknown becomes a concept to which the rational mind cannot relate to. Since relationship must be maintained in order to have a completely unitary system-the mind breaks down. I don’t see if you know this-that the mind of society and the mind of the individual is the same mind, we have created this present wicked system by acting out of a psychological center based on our desires and fears. The reason why we continue to operate from this miserably pitiful state of human thought, is because we are taught by barbarians to be barbarians.
Too many people get caught up on the surface of the struggles on the face of this planet, and don’t concentrate on the labyrinth of pain and wonder which exists in the mind. No matter how far you go into space, no matter where you can logically plan to aspire to, the dimension of thought will eventually exhaust itself of ideas and run into the unknown again. The unknown is the force which lies in the core of each person’s mind. The force which thinks of itself as the world, and demands to know the nature of everything. The state of consciousness in the world and in man is in the process of decay and death. That is, if the present state of education in the world does not enlighten itself by becoming a light unto itself, something fluid, which conveys the means by which to stay fluid-that is, living in the moment (which is where life truly is)-then the system, the mind of the world-meaning the global society of interpersonal and international relationship, and of the individual will surely decay and die, and all that will be left of human consciousness and existence will be dug up by future monsters in the garden of their planet Earth, handed down by the ignorant to the meek, meaning humility before truth. The understanding of this is the perfume of love and intelligence.
