On This Day of Your Life

Money distorts the generosity of resources that the earth offers to us. Money is the means by which the inequitable distribution of these resources is justified. It enslaves human beings to other human beings, and it a tool of power and control. Money is not holy, to argue that it is a wonderful part of God, to me seems a gross distortion of truth.

Nix I feel you are correct in your assessment of money, but I want to point out that the biblical testament on money has been greatly distorted.

It is espoused that the bible declares "Money is the root of ALL evil," when in fact it actually states that "THE LOVE OF MONEY is the root of evil."

We cannot base our lives on acquiring money because this is what causes enslavement, and the willingness to do any evil act to acquire it. Wars are caused by this. When you LOVE money more than any other thing are when the perversions and baseness take over.

Since we do not have societies based on bartering any longer we need money to survive, but as long as we do not allow the act of acquiring money to monopolize and take over our existence we will find that we can survive relatively well without all the material items the money changers insist we need.

Just wanted to add this:

A moment of presence
Who you are now is enough. What you have now is plenty.


Here in this moment all is well. Allow yourself to be fully present in what is now.



Gently relax into the endless depth of life's rich and magnificent abundance. There is plenty, and it is now yours to live.



Feel the perfect peace of simply being as you are. Need nothing, and have everything.



Watch the wonder of all that is as it dances in front of your eyes. Feel the lightness and the limitless nature of who you truly are.



Know the immense joy that is in every little thing. For it is now and you are fully here.
