This is a review upon a recent interview published by Leftvision on 13/12/2011 wherein an overall view of the world was given by John Holloway (born 1947) a  Marxist theorist that I got to meet him on a few occasions while trying to grasp sociology and its function toward an actual ‘change in the world,’  which lead me to realize that academy – as controversial as it may intend and pretend itself to be -  is Still feeding off of the same system – or biting the hand that feeds – which is what I find interesting considering that he’s talking about how the opposition eventually gets absorbed by the system, which is precisely what any social theory and their creators end up doing anyways, and it’s perfectly normal. Why? because there is no actual ‘way out’ of the system:

We Are The System

There seems to be a common stigma attached to the word ‘System.’This word is coming through with a charge of antagonism, disgust or even absolute rejection while perceiving it as a synonym of ‘control’ and oppression.  However, a system implies perfection, implies functionality, implies consistency in its application which makes it trustworthy, just as the system that this entire planet is existing as.

‘Fighting the system’ has certainly become the shout-out for everyone still participating in protests that have been going on for the past two years now on a global scale,  and as much as John finds them ‘fascinating’ as an indication of the ‘cracks within the system,’ we have defined them as useless and futile in their existence as long as there are no actual practical and defined proposals to their intent to ‘break the system/ make wall street fall.’ As much as they can be an indication of this current system being obsolete or developing such ‘cracks’ as John explains  – which I definitely agree and its self-evident in all ways – we say that there is another way, and time is being wasted by people camping on the streets instead of becoming educated on how to stand within the system to create a change/ transformation from within.

We have to being by saying: The eternal support toward ‘fighting the system’ must come to an end – common sense, the system feeds off of such struggle, just like light is created from rays going from cathode to anode – that’s how this reality operates, powered through polarity – hence any form of opposition, revolution or eventual war only creates another stepping stone for it to upgrade, rejuvenate and keep functioning within an improved level of control, which is what the current protests are managing to provoke within the world at the moment.

Having placed some basic clarifications here, let’s walk through some statements made through the interview which I will discuss in order to place some basic common sense points to consider within this seemingly elusive endeavor to ‘crack the system’ – which is currently capitalism – at its core.

“We are the crisis of capitalism “

The fact that one can conceive capitalism without an inherent quality of crisis is rather innocent, to say the least. It cannot possibly be that ‘all of a sudden’ the word crisis is linked to capitalism which is almost like saying ‘the grass is green.’ It is obvious that the moment that a system is founded upon make-believe values upon reality, deliberately schemed to polarize society and endorse all forms of abuse toward humanity and the ecosystem, that it would eventually reveal itself as unsustainable within the consideration that such values are not based upon the physical reality = they can be manipulated ‘at will’ which is how economy and laws have been keeping a system of inequality in place, without having any intent to create an Equality-System within this world, for the obvious reason that there must be slaves in order for masters to exist.

If you look at the human body as  the perfect system that it is, all cells are equally important to create the tissues, the organs that create the systems which comprise the totality of the body – there is no ‘more or less’ in that – hence capitalism is like suddenly making the cells on your liver more important than the ones on your colon, or more important than the cells that create the veins that make the money flow throughout the body in an equal manner. What happens with the unequal growth of cells in the body? Cancer is created as that bodily rebellion to point out where we have created such a disparity within ourselves, which eventually leads to decay and eventual death. That is what is happening at the moment with capitalism, we have developed the cancer and the cure is HERE yet only more greed for power could be the obstacle to neglect  the solution, which is as we have mentioned: an Equal Life based System.

Thus capitalism has been an inherently flawed system from its inception. In other words: it was meant to get to a point of inevitable crack/ crisis and we all have certainly accepted and allowed it, this should have been a premise within the realization that no god has placed the rules of the game in this world: it is our creation, it is our responsibility to change the rules of the game to equalize the playing field.

“Capital is a constant attack on people”

Capitalism is not just a system, it’s not just an unjust system – it is a constant aggression

The general approach of ‘capitalism’ as this separate entity from ourselves is rather pointing out to abdicate Self Responsibility within our very participation of creating and feeding such ‘monster.’ The attack that we are inflicting upon ourselves and the entire biosphere can only have its origin within separation. By neglecting the basic principle of Equality and Oneness as the physical non-spiritual realization that we are Here in this world as physical-beings that coexist within the same biosphere, we create a leeway for systems like capitalism to exist. Hence the problem is in its very core educational, because the schools are created within a system of profit – hence profit is what will be endorsed and supported as a general aspiration to achieve within the individuals. If we had been actually indicated on these very basic common-sensical aspects of reality, such delegation of responsibility to a fictional-entity that is powered through our participation would have been stopped from the very beginning. Thus the attack is on us, the joke is un us and we have created it.

We could go further into the realization of how we have created of this system an external-manifestation of our own mind as a social, economical and political system wherein we all claim dementia as if the rules of the system had been laid by a god and were ‘immovable’ or ‘divine’ to ever challenge or question.

“You must work faster” = Profit for capitalism

We don’t want to be robots = we got other tings that are important in our lives”

The moment that we created this division of ourselves between our physical body and our mind, the moment that we accepted and allowed ourselves to believe we are this thinking-thoughts and feelings and emotions, we created the first divide that would eventually be the starting point of creating a system wherein we have created and set-up our own jail, our own system of abuse. While writing this, we can forgive ourselves for having played dumbed all this time, blaming a god for apparently placing some form of biblical damnation upon Earth and its inhabitants as to create some form of meaningful lesson in life that can only be evident as the realization of how far we can go to abuse ourselves and give continuation to that abuse as long as our personal interests are not intercepted by the implosion of reality within this current economical system.

For great power to exist, you require a lot of energy – and that energy has been each one of us living in a system that is constantly producing in means of ‘economic growth’ without ever realizing that in that, life was never being considered. We can only be the ones that have set up a system in separation of ‘that which is important in our lives’ which is LIFE itself! Common sense, how have we created our own repression through the participation in a system that is evidently not caring about life at all, but only caring about numbers within a system that can be translated as money that can be used within the same system to live at the maximum ability to exploit others and live like kings and queens.

Our vocabulary says it all: we have accepted slaves and royals as roles in humanity which indicate the extent of brainwashing we have learned from kindergarten – there is no one to blame, but only actions to take on to ensure this won’t ever ‘happen’ again.

The cracks

in the system

“We are proud to be the crisis of a system that is destroying humanity”

-Refusal to turn into machines: “our insubordination, our refusal to bow down – ‘find the way of living according to a more human logic, a logic that ‘makes sense’ – we’re going to do things in a different way”

Giving continuation within the understanding of this ‘evil system’ being our creation, we can see that we are only fighting ourselves the moment that we pretend we are actually able to find a ‘better way’ within human logic. Human logic is a synonym of self-interest, greed and – last but not least – reptilian logic. Some basic anthropocentric considerations must be in place to realize that because we have created the current system, the way out of such system can only come in a way that we do not only ‘defy’ the system in itself, but also ‘cracks’ the foundation of the infamous ‘human nature’ that is based upon greed, desire for power= money and the eternal pursuit of happiness that is constantly implanted and impulsed as part of the carrots on the stick for everyone to keep going without ever having time to question anything about this deceptive and masochistic mechanism to generate profit as the fuel for the system.

Within this, being such ‘cracks in the system’ can only be a rather schizophrenic mode of attacking ourselves to then come through as the victorious vindicators of mankind, without realizing: we have done it all toward ourselves, there can be no proud in breaking something that we built in the first place, it would be just a form of dissociation from reality which is what we have been living as for a long time already. Such stand-off is then absolutely unnecessary as it only promotes a rebellion toward: ourselves. This is how the regular anarchism relies on pointing fingers toward others, endorsing separation and further alienation from ‘the system’ while justifying it with the self-sufficiency excuse.

These cracks are necessary – however there is no proposal toward a definitive outcome – it’s not to ‘bring the cracks together’ to create a bigger crack and eventually find out what to do next – no. And saying ‘there is no future for humanity’ are big words for a single mind that cannot see the fact that we have been the ones building our own doomsday all along = it can be stopped, it can be corrected. Knowledge can be the obstacle on the way of Self Realization.

The way to ‘make sense’ is simple: Common Sense = what’s best for all in all ways. that’s the most encompassing and equalizing sense there can ever be, yet it is vital to understand equality as the principle that must be understood not only as ‘fairness’ but as the realization of who and what we all are as equal-parts of this entire world.

“We’re going to create a new way: Ecological community, going back to the land “

As much as it sounds like a nice plan, if such community only considers  a lifestyle that is pertinent to the Zapatistas, then it would certainly create a major exclusion that is simply not viable in this world. I would say it is not about getting to know how such community will function – which is then looking at how the current Resource Based Economy proposals are basing their foundation upon. No – it is about first and foremost implementing a living-principle that can ensure that such community is not only considering a few ‘outcasts of the system’ which can only be a preferred belief by anyone that wants to ‘step out of the system’ – or believe that such thing is possible – as a way to not have to take Self Responsibility to implement a solution that is equally applicable and viable for every living being in this world.

Unless the whole is considered, be sure that such communities will turn into another system of tribes/groups that will eventually have to impose another form of control over the resources in order to survive – see ‘Bartering is still capitalism’ for further reference.

I do suggest that lectures and seminars on sociology, economy and any other form of political consideration must go back to the very basics of understanding how only a system based in Equality can thrive in this reality.

“Are we walking in the wrong direction?

We don’t want to go into the direction of capitalism, we want to find the way to disobey”

The way of protesting, fighting and battling against each other is certainly promoting the ‘wrong direction’ simply because it has been tried ad nauseam throughout history with no conclusive outcomes that can be deemed as actual solutions within this world.

I definitely do not support and question the endeavor to promote disobedience and dissidence as ‘the way to create a change’ in this world, which is the usual resistance that in physical laws can only create more ‘heat’ toward that which is being resisted. Thus – we definitely have to first stop trying to ‘riot the system’ as it is only by standing within the system and the realization that we have the faculty to create the laws in the system, that we can implement the new way of living, which must be Life in Equality.

Creating an idyllic sense of ‘solidarity’ through joining in to ‘oppose the system’ is not precisely what the ‘brotherhood of man’ should have as a glue. Such ‘networks of solidarity’ must be founded upon the realization that we are equal and one in this reality and that we have to start living by basic principles such as Equality as Life wherein we understand that only through working together toward a single outcome will be be able to create an actual transformation in this world.

The current problem is as we know, the lack of cohesion that we have lived as simply by having been instructed and indoctrinated to live in a world wherein ‘there is not enough for everyone’ and in this, instilling the idea of everyone being a potential enemy that could take the throne before us. This is exactly the type of survival skills/ genera conditioning that the Equal Money will bring to an end. It is a cease to the ongoing fire that we have continued in means of winning and/or defeating to an ‘opponent’ which we have neglected is an equal part of ourselves within this world.

Thus, you cannot ‘fight capitalism’ by using the very means that have built capitalism in the first place, such as divide and conquer. We are a group: humanity, we must stand together. There is no ‘they’ within this, there is only us having to take Self Responsibility, stop all malarkey and walk toward the implementation of a system that is truly considering all as equals.

How to stop reproducing capitalism?

“We don’t know”

That’s certainly not an acceptable answer.

Is ‘breaking’ and ‘avoiding’ the solution? Is a ‘constant struggle’ and ‘rebelling’ the solution? After 17 years of the conflict in Chiapas = nothing has happened other than remaining as an elusive ‘movement’ that has gained more fame for its characters than any actual substantial reform within the system. Why? Because separation cannot be the way to ‘regain a dignified living.’ Zapatistas represent separation through a self-righteous move to create an ‘autonomous’ entity outside of the country. The moment that special rights are created toward people according to their ethnicity or nationality = no change will ever go on, because the way is not to exalt a certain group to ‘overcome’ the ones that are perceived to be in power – but to establish a system that works for everyone equally.

“We don’t have any model”

We do, it can only exist by a principle, not by ideology or model presented within the past.

It’s called the Equal Money System and it breaks apart any form of convoluted social theory that has only dissected human beings as subjects of study without ever actually considering the most basic, simplistic facts that must be included in any form of social reform and/or consideration of guarantees/ rights that can be applicable to all beings regardless of their current affiliations. Equal Money System is of actual substance: the only value in this world must be Life in Equality.

“I think we can only see it in the context of an ongoing struggle”

See, the entire Marxist approach of struggle of the classes and the continual proposal for the proletarian to overcome the bourgeoisie is not applicable any longer, as that would only create a reversal of the roles. We cannot possibly remain at the level of theories that were developed over a 100 years ago! We cannot possibly remain in such theoretical stagnation taught in universities as part of a 21st century sociological approach toward this entire system in spite of the evidence of it requiring a major reform. This is outdated and certainly a waste of time to try to continue revamping the ideals that have been proven to be ineffective in the world. As long as the heads of the academy remain married to the heroes of the past, we won’t actually walk into the realization that:

Nothing of the past has ever worked to create an actual transformation and reform at a social, political and economical level – hence WHY are we still trying to take the past as a reference to a world that has already given its last turns around capitalism? We are NOT any longer entering an Industrial Revolution – in fact, we have Depleted the world now as a result of that. We cannot base life upon ‘work force’ or selling it as a form of survival. We cannot possibly remain creating ideas of only achieving any form of change through ‘struggle’ – that is as archaic as our own existence has been in this world.

We have to stop the ‘survival of the fittest’ type of approach toward any form of change/ transformation in this world.

As an example in relation to one of Holloway’s fervent causes, to me the Zapatistas remain only as a reminder of how Not to create a group that becomes part of a national novelty wherein no actual change or progress is made. Time to move on.

“Escape the circle of reintegration through permanent moving and the strike at the heart of capitalism“

“We hope because we know that there is no alternative” – there is no way out – 99% probable there is no way out, we’re doomed, this is it, this is the end of humanity, we’re on our way but somehow we have to look for this 1%, for this Insane possibility that we can still break the system”

I agree, it is an insanity within the current parameters wherein Equality is diminished and often misunderstood as communism, thus relegated as some form of relic that has no ‘chance’ within our current world.

It is thus such insanity yet extreme simplicity such as the principle of Equality that we are in fact ‘breaking the system.’ We have been testing this through the presentation of the Equal Money System wherein everyone sees it as something ‘impossible’ which only confirms the effectiveness of “education” within our reality to numb ourselves to ask very basic questions like: ‘How have we accepted and allowed ourselves to create and participate within a system that is clearly not supporting everyone equally and even endorsing abuse in the name of profit?’  – However, we have been so imbued in our personal bubbles that any concern of ‘the greater sphere’ as the world is only relegated to the job of a few that we ‘pay for/ vote for’ in order to ‘take care of such businesses.’ Then we dare to complain because of the misused of resources and wrong-decision-making in congress?

That is certainly not acceptable. We have to stop neglecting the reality that we are missing HERE wherein such 99% represents the percentage of time we have spent in our minds, worried and concerned about ‘that which is more important to us’ as Holloway mentioned in the video, wherein the very functioning and management of the system that makes our lives possible is seen as some alienating monster-like entity that we have to fight in order to ‘break free.’ That is certainly not the way and it even sounds like another heroically achieved outcome can be created out of that, ensuring there are some others ‘losing’ in the way. So, where does Equality fit in such equation?

“I think capitalism is always going to want and reintegrate rebellion”

“We can’t allow ourselves to be institutionalized, we just have to move on, we have to rebel in other ways” -

That is certainly so – hence none of the revolutions have actually made a change in this world. Why? Because opposition gets absorbed by the system, just like the current attempts of communism in the world or the very ‘dissident theories’ that are considered as ‘leftists’ within a usual ‘rightist’ system – just another side of the same coin, really.

Unless there is an overall reform within the system for ALL equally, there will still be parts that will try and absorb/ reintegrate the dissidence. However, this can only be as long as we remain separated through our own beliefs, theories and neglecting the most basic common sense: we must work together with Living Principles and not only remain within ideological or theoretical approaches to what’s best for all. This is how knowledge corrupts life.

If a system that’s best for all and considers life is implemented in this world, there is and will be no need to fear being institutionalized – this is yet another stigma such as the one placed onto ‘system.’ It’s merely the way that we have lived the words that frightens us, yet is is our very own creation that we have built out of proportion.

“I think the heart of capital is Money – maybe what we have to think, maybe the big challenge is: how do we break money?”

Holloway calls this the real challenge of the crisis and indeed, it is so. However it’s fairly easy to see how money can be ‘broken’/ reformed from its current foundation on debt, basing its existence upon laws that are deliberately created to confuse the population about the most basic facts wherein it’s obvious that money is a synonym of control – just as knowledge and any other form of theorizing about reality.

Therefore, how to break the spell of money as power? of money as control? We Equalize it as Life, as equally accessible for everyone – that breaks the spell of it. See, the approach is not to ‘fuck the system’ / break it – but rather stand within it to re-form it and transform it into a system that works for all.

People panic about the current future of the Economy, however that is only looking at the already fixed system that controls money as ‘power’ in this world over others. By reforming this monetary system, removing its spell as this all-mightiness attribute we’ve given over life, we’ll start realizing what type of religion as values, codes and creeds we have implemented upon the life that is here as Earth.

“How do we break money? “

Equal Money System – Equalization is the only way you can break any spell of polarization in this reality – in all ways.

Holloway makes a cool point: Money is already the point of social cohesion in capitalism which is one of the reasons why we have explained that we cannot just ‘remove money’ and go for a ‘resource based economy’ – which I still don’t get the title of that as economy implies management and for managing you require an accounting tool which is what we are explaining Equal-Money will be . At the moment it is about creating a ‘homeopathic cure’ to the current capitalist system – that implies using a placebo such as equal-money to create a proper understanding of what we have created within this world when implementing differential values upon reality, instead of living within a one and only common-value which can only be LIFE.

This might create extreme resistances to acknowledge, even after having spent several years of walking around theories trying to find a solution while in fact, we have missed it all the way: Life in Equality is the solution to this world.

And this would be In-Fact the type of revolution that capitalism cannot reabsorb simply because the current capital rules that are based upon money as it currently exist, will be no more once that we equalize money as life – simple, once that all values are equalized, value in itself ceases to exist.

The fact that ‘Money is so central to the existence of capital’ makes it seem as ‘the root of all evil,’ while we have explained that it is not so that money in itself is the problem – money is innocent: it is the rules under which money is currently existing that are the problem in the world. Money is our creation – hence we are perfectly capable of changing the rules of the game through political reforms.

“Fighting to push money out”

See – there’s no need to fight, but only educate ourselves to see how it is that money is a make-believe system that is currently diverting our attention into a survival mode, instead of realizing that money in itself doesn’t have to be fought against or exterminated, but only reformed from its roots toward an equalized value which, obviously means no more values will exist – but only physical accountability of individuals and their requirements to live/ exist in a dignified way as Equals.

Isn’t this what all revolutions in the past have fought for? Why was it never actually implemented then? Because of money remaining intact in its ‘lucrative foundations’ which were never intended to benefit ALL Equally.

Who is the real enemy?

You have to ask yourself: who’s the real ‘evil’ in this world’ Is it the entity we have pointed-fingers at as “capitalism?” No! That is our creation, that is our cookie-monster that must be debunked with common sense = what is best for all. As long as we give power to a make-believe system of money as god, we’ll remain trapped within the illusion that ‘change is impossible’ or that it will be a  battle royal to do it. It certainly won’t be an overnight reform, however it won’t either be an armed revolution because there is no need to fight or oppose those in power. Equality System implies ALL are included – so, there is no need to overcome a particular elite  – it is about dignifying the life of those that have nothing to eat, of giving proper living-conditions to every living being in this world and that does not only include human beings, but animals, plants and the entire planet that IS the real and only ‘value’ that can exist, the real and only resource that allows us to continue  the rhetoric in such theoretical mindfucks while the answer has always been here in simplicity.

We can only forgive ourselves for the ignorance that we have played out, trying to complicate ourselves and find ways within a system that should have been based in Equality as Life since the very beginning. We can’t change the past – we are here to create the present into a sustainable equality equation. That begins within our very own mindsets that must be cleared up from academy bugs that have kept theories and systematic criticisms at the margin of just that, nothing but words that have never been able to consider the most basic and incredibly simple – yet overlooked al this time – reality facts: we require to establish a system of Equality in the world through money valued upon LIFE itself – no more waiting for miracles.

To recap:

Creating a ‘rebellion’ that capitalism cannot re-absorb:

Equalize money as Life and capitalism cannot exist in Equality.

“We don’t have the answer”

WE DO have the answer: equalmoney.org

Wiki entry on the Equal Money System

Conclusion:

“We have to keep developing the questions and keep fighting for that”

See, this is how I would always end up in any of the sociological or theoretical meetings about the current state of the world- and by this I don’t only mean Holloway’s conferences/ lectures – but throughout our entire educational system, we are always left with that ‘spine’ wherein it is apparently impossible to come to a definitive conclusion about the course of action that must be taken. To me then it seemed as if because being a sociologist is a profession within the realm of Capitalism as well, that such ‘elusiveness’ within it was reinforced just so that everyone could keep their jobs in theorizing about reality without being able to come up with a simple solution that can literally, actually, debunk the roots of this current capitalist system.

Capitalism is nothing else but the ego of man built upon as the godly effigy over a reality that has been unconditional in giving/ providing everything that we require to live. What have we done in exchange? Abuse, manipulate, control and extort others in order to maintain a system of energetic disparity wherein only some could have all the money to be able to have subordinates doing all the ‘hard work.’ What type of lazy abusive gods have we been and become throughout time?

This is how Equal Money System not only represents the equalization of Money to become a single accounting tool to distribute/ give equal access to the resources/ means necessary for each living being  – but it also represents the perfection that the human has sought throughout its history, neglecting the very first point which is seeing god as something separate from ourselves; instead of realizing that we are the creators of this reality and that we can actually set the rules wherein there can be no ‘more’ or ‘less’ than – and within this, debunk the entire hierarchical structure upon which the current system is cemented upon. This is then the principle that humanity has only written in constitutions, never realizing that as long as money was placed on top of Life itself, the god-money would rule over common sense.

Equal Money – Future of Money – Volume 1

 2010 Equal Money System: WAR is Unacceptable

Quotes taken from the video:

John Holloway über die multiple Krise – John Holloway on the multiple crisis

The essence of this proposal is the following:

“The Free World Charter is a statement of principles that has the potential to optimise life on Earth for all species, eradicate poverty and greed, and advance progress.

Everything will be declared free to use, but within an understanding of natural and technical limits, and respect for the combined common good. These understandings are achieved initially through education, and ultimately through consensus.

Once people realise that a money-free society works, we will naturally become more positive in our actions, more cooperative, compassionate and productive.”

We can agree on the fact that it is through giving everyone access to what we require to live that our living conditions on Earth will change according to stopping living in a survival mode, wherein fear of not having enough money to live will cease to exist. Though, there are key aspects and points that are not being properly addressed and/or considered within their proposal which is lacking the principle and consideration of Equality as the necessary guarantee that will enable this solution to work for all beings in fact.

We will be walking through their ten proposals to support with the necessary considerations within the implementation and actions upon such principles wherein we reinstate the need to create an actual management system such as the Equal Money System to ensure that all of these guarantees are in fact implemented and are not able to be violated or corrupted by/ through the ‘human nature’ factor, which is our main point of focus within the current process of presenting the Equal Money System as the overall solution to the current problems that we have created in this world as humanity.

This is a document written with the intention and starting point of creating a point of support for everyone that is currently advocating this solution,to see and consider the necessary steps to create a world in Equality.

1. The highest concern of humanity is the combined common good of all living species and biosphere.

Human beings, animals and plants are all inseparable parts of nature. We are IN nature – not outside or above it. All our species are connected to each other and the planet, and rely indirectly on each other for survival.
Humanity’s physical impact on the World is now so great that we must exercise wisdom and responsibility. We must now consider the needs of all species and the environment, as well as ourselves, in all decisions.

Equal consideration of everything and everyone that is here is certainly a key point and starting point for every decision we make in this world.  This is taking Self Responsibility as Equal participants within the same ecosystem. The current physical impact on the world is a direct consequence of how we have created a system based on profit, a system where producing and consuming have become the ways to ‘make a living,’ which has lead us to create unnecessary products and ‘economical activities’ that are not required to LIVE, but only exist due to the current need that human beings have to ‘make money to live.’ If we give equal access to what is here, our current system of unnecessary and irresponsible production will stop, because there will be no way to ‘make money’ out of useless products. 

Within this, a great part of the current environmental impact will cease to exist, as all our focus and attention will not be on ‘surviving’ or producing/ selling to be able to ‘make a living’ or become ‘wealthy’ out of such inconsiderate production,  for we will be unconditionally supported as Life.

2.

Life is precious in all its forms, and free to flourish in the combined common good.

Life is an amazing phenomenon, and, so far, our planet is the only place we have found it. This makes it a most rare and beautiful thing that should be cherished and respected.
However, life is also food, and all our world’s species form a complex food-chain. In order to maintain this food-chain – and thus our biodiversity and survival – we must observe the combined common good of all species when interacting with any one.

As we know, that common good has been compromised within our current monetary system wherein thousands of species are now extinct because of being used in any form of business and the now commonly known as ‘irresponsible economic activities’ which is linked to the disregard that we as human beings have had toward fellow living beings in the name of profit, power and having a ‘superior’ stance to be able to commit such crimes against life. Stopping profit from being a possibility in this system, we will be able to stop the current exploitation of animals, plants and all resources in the name of ‘progress.’ 

That ‘combined common good’ can only be acquired through/as education, considering what it means to be one and equal, to be coexisting with everything and everyone that is also here in this world doing what’s Best for All.  Within this, a way to establish such ‘common good’ must be established at a political level, it must be regulated and implemented through/ as an entire new system structure based on Equality, wherein education is specifically linked to developing beings to their upmost potential within the consideration of everyone having equal responsibility with what is here, as well as equal access to the resources that are here.

3. Earth’s natural resources are the birthright of all its inhabitants, and free to share in the combined common good.

Every living person and creature on this planet has an automatic entitlement to share in all the Earth’s natural resources, and to use them to live a healthy and fulfilling life without obligation or subordination to any other person or creature.
Humanity, due to population size and complex lifestyle, has a particular duty not to overtax these natural resources, or use more than is reasonably necessary to maintain a happy and wholesome life within the combined common good.

Definitely, we are here and we are all part of this world from which we can all give each other access to what is here to Live and within doing so, stop all forms of current ‘economical crisis’ wherein the very basic needs are being denied to human beings, causing poverty and starvation in the same world where there is certainly more than enough for everyone.

However, the point of ‘no obligation’ can turn into an actual mayhem because of not having first establish basic principles wherein one would have to learn how to take only the necessary without engaging into abusive forms. Education is required to show how there are consequences the moment that we don’t take self responsibility, which in essence can be witnessed in the current world we’re living in. By giving equal access to everything that is here for human beings, we require a point that establishes such ‘measure,’ to ensure we don’t abuse ever again, to ensure that there are no ways to corrupt the system or compromise each other within this ‘obligation-less’ type of proposal.

This doesn’t mean that we will establish ‘limitation,’ but a form of educating how to measure ourselves in what we take, how to realize that within giving equal access to each other, we don’t require ‘more’ to fulfill any other idea of wealth/ power/ superiority.

Thus, this must be understood and walked through a process of Education, invariably so.

4. Every human being is an equal part of a worldwide community of humans, and a free citizen of Earth.

Social, ideological and border divisions between people are man-made barriers which have no physical or natural basis. Such artificial divisions can only be counter-productive to the common welfare and survival of society as a whole.
Our common similarities are, however, both physical and natural. Generally speaking, we all want and need the same things. With universal cooperation and equal access, we can all apply our skills more effectively to achieve these common aims.

Agreed. However, how we are currently living as the ‘past’ within ourselves and as our current configuration, we are still playing out/ existing as such separations that exist at a cultural identification and set of values according to where we come from, how we have lived. Within this, it is to consider that we as human beings must walk a process of Self Forgiveness to essentially stop looking at each other as nationalities, cultures, monetary values, races, religions or any other current form of separation that is certainly part of the mind-made/ human-made systems that have no physical correlation to who and what we are as one and equal, establishing Life as the only value that is actually here in this world.

Thus, it won’t be as easy as establishing this point of Equality from overnight. There must be a process of self-forgiving the past, the differences, the separation, the hatred that has been bred between human beings and only through that will we be able to stand in equal stance and equal terms. If this process is skipped, what we will have is only a nice set of rules that consider support for all beings; however the nature of each being will be ‘the same,’ existing in perpetual separation and confrontation due to/ because of the current systems that we have lived in our entire lives.

Within this, we are declaring that the ‘human factor’ must not be ‘overlooked.’ This implies the necessary process that it will take for humanity to practically and physically adopt and adapt these new set of living principles which must be understood and lived at an individual level first and foremost. Change begins within each one and from here, we expand it into our world and our reality.

This is how within the Equal Money System we are walking a process of Self Honesty, Self Forgiveness as the Realization of who we really are as one and equal beginning with ourselves, stopping the patterns of separation and disregard that are currently existing within each human being’s mind. This is what our focus is on at the moment.

As we walk this process, we go realizing how it is that the mind must be understood to then see/ realize and understand How we have made of this current system a replica of our mind, it is our image and likeness within that individualization that has lead us to the current disregard of each other as equal.

5. Our community is founded on the spirit of cooperation and an understanding of Nature, provided through basic education.

Any child that receives a useful and relevant education into the workings of Nature, the World and community living, will ultimately provide the best service to that World and that community. Traditional career-driven education is now a measurably destructive force.
Ultimately, education will replace regulation, which is really only a crude system of maintaining order. For example, a child that fully understands why a certain action is not possible is infinitely better equipped for life than a child who only knows the fear of punishment for that action.

Agreed. Education must be based within the realization of actions having consequences that not only affect the individual, but the whole. Education thus must be based upon the principle of Life in Equality and developing common sense in our day to day living actions.

Education won’t be another form of surviving in the system or another form of preparing beings to ‘make the most profit,’ it will become part of a being’s life without it having any external motivation as it currently does within ‘making money’ out of any particular job/ task or occupation that one decides to dedicate oneself to. Education must be walked with beings from birth to learn how to consider each other living being as equal and how within a system of Equal-Support, one can focus on developing ourselves to our fullest potential which is what Education should be about in all ways.

6. Our community provides for all its members the necessities of a healthy, fulfilling and sustainable life, freely and without obligation.

Every person should be guaranteed the highest technically possible standard of living without the use of money, trade or debt. There is no longer any logical reason not to do this. Virtually all of human suffering is caused by our outdated system of exchange.
All forms of debt and subordination are not only a hindrance to progress, but are now completely unnecessary. This is due to our command of technology and the ease with which we can produce and manufacture goods for ourselves.

Our current monetary system is indeed outdated and has proven itself to be only a system of control and deliberate disregard of each being as equals. Therefore, we agree: debt is not able to exist in an equal system as it is based on the perception of ‘lack’ which is not common sense and cannot exist in a system where physicality is the matter that we will be ‘working’ with so to speak.

Each living being will be given equal access to what is here, as an individual guarantee by the mere fact of being a living being. Though, we are proposing Equal Money as a counting tool to Ensure that such guarantees are in fact taking place in a proper and orderly manner. This is the major discrepancy that we are currently realizing we have toward the World Charter proposal/ system, which is the removal of money in its entirety which is done from the starting point of seeing ‘money’ as the problem in this world, without realizing that money in itself was created by Us, human beings. Thus, it is to educate, support and walk an entire process of Self-Realization as the Equalization of Life as who we really are to see why it is that we have created the current system and How it is our responsibility to now create a system that supports all beings Equally.

What this means is that it is not only focusing on how goods/ services will be produced and managed – but how one must ensure that everyone is actually accountable and supported within the system. Through the implementation of Equal-Money we will be able to track all forms of support, how they are distributed, have data bases that can gather information on where and how the system may have inconsistencies/ irregularities or any other form of ‘flaw’ which will then be able to be corrected and ‘tuned’ to get to a sound position again.

Without money, how will any form of actual accountability be possible? how will anyone guarantee that all beings are being supported equally in fact? How will we measure any inconsistency/ irregularity? We must remember that it is not that mathematics are flawed, we have created systems and theoretical impositions wherein common sense as what’s best for all is not able to be seen anywhere. This is the description of our current economics which are part of the knowledge and information that has served only some for the purpose of maintaining control and power in reality through/ as money.

This is how through the Equalization of money, we remove all ability to ‘have power over another’ – we equalize power for all.

7. Our community respects the limits of Nature and its resources, ensuring minimal consumption and waste.

Our resources are limited either by absolute quantity or by the time it takes to manage and replace them. In either case, we must use our resources wisely to preserve both their supply and the environment.
In addition, we must minimize our accumulation of rarely used goods, and the amount of non-reusable waste that we produce. These have direct consequences on our environment. The more we conserve our World, the greater our chances of survival into the future.

Yes – within the consideration of only producing what is necessary to live, many of the current industries that produce goods only for the sake of profit will disappear. This is then understood from the principle of removing any profit-driven production that has no benefit to life in this world.

The wise use of resources also entails proper education which is what should be regarded as part of the actual living skills that will enable each one to be an equal custodian of the Earth as a whole. If we all make sure we take Self Responsibility and ‘do our part,’ we won’t require any form of hierarchical ruling class to place laws and some others to execute them. Within the realization of having equal access to the necessary resources to live, we realize our equal responsibility and how it must be handled within the context of prevention instead of preservation.

We definitely agree that the understanding of our direct consequences within the environment are vital to learn how to live in a certain measure. However, if you take money away as a form of having access to such goods/ services, one must ensure that the human being is in fact ready to live in equal regard of everything/ everyone that is here. If this is not in place, we will most likely brew a situation out of control. That’s how Equal Money is required as that necessary point of management to ensure that no one is abusing the system of Equality.

8, Our community derives its solutions and advances progress primarily through the application of logic and best available knowledge.

In a new society without financial inhibitors and constraints, the greatest challenges facing humanity will be technical ones. ie. How do we provide enough food, water, shelter, energy, materials, and ensure a high standard of sustainable living for everybody?
As opposed to traditional politics and speculation, the scientific method is a proven, robust system of solving these technical problems using just the available facts and basic logic. It also has a common reference across all cultures and languages.

Once profit is out of the current scheme of reality, what will remain is the human being having limitless possibilities to explore the most suitable ways to extract the necessary resources and optimal production systems to create the necessary products and provide the services that we require to live.  This is also part of what politics is. The current conception of politics must be revisited to be understood as the set of principles that we must base our interaction and communication within society as that equal and one regard and implementation through giving equal access to what is here. Speculation is certainly Not part of what’s best for all and will cease to exist.  By scientific method we also understand the practical steps to take the most suitable ways to produce and consume what is here for living purposes. This is also part of the necessary points of education within the system, which is learning how to manage ourselves within a system that can provide for all. Politics will and must not be only regarded as the current political-religious system of parties that oppose each other, but as actual systems and ways that we can convene as humanity to establish the ways to live that are in fact best for all as Equals.

9. Our community acknowledges its duty of care and compassion for members who are unable to contribute.

People who, for any reason, are unable to look after themselves or contribute back into society, should be afforded every possible amenity, compassion and care from the rest of the community without obligation.
Also, as future contributors to the community, it is vital that we impart as much useful knowledge as we can to our children, in a way that stimulates their creativity, growth and intellect towards future progress.

Agreed, by all means each being will be unconditionally supported regardless of their conditions to give back to society what they are being supported with. However this contribution must be accounted and measured to ensure no abuse is existent. This can be done through the regulation with which the Equal Money System will work. At this stage, it is very unlikely that everyone would respect this ‘freedom’ proposed by the World Charter. Giving unconditional support within the realization of who we are as one and equal is what is required to implement. 

With regards to children, we require to place our focus and attention on to them as they are indeed the future of the world that require to be prepared for the changes that we will be facing within the implementation of an Equality based system. This is how within having a training-ground of how giving to all equally would work, we require to establish equal-money as a form of control in the way of ensuring everyone is actually being supported and no abuse is allowed or perpetuated.

This is within the consideration of the ‘human factor’ that we have mentioned before wherein it will not be an overnight process of understanding what it means to live in Equality. This ‘human nature’ factor is what’s being disregarded in this proposal which is not only a key-point to look at, but a decisive factor in any system/ plan/ proposal working into effectiveness or not.

We can create the most suitable ‘laws’/ principles to live by in this reality and make it all sound quite nice to everyone’s ears. However, if the human being is not supported through Education to understand, see and realize Why it is necessary to change the current system into an Equality System and How it can be practically and physically implemented through giving Equal-Money for all, we will be most likely only remaining at the level of a utopic idea of ‘how we should live’ without taking the necessary steps to implement it as a new-program within each human being’s mind, which is the current process we are walking as individuals advocating the Equal Money System.

If this is not done through an educational process, the Free World Charter as any other current proposal/ solution that is Not considering the importance of establishing a living principle of Equality through Equal Money as a living right, is prone to fail. It will then be forcing beings to only ‘have access to it all’ without any proper foundation or understanding of WHY the current system is not working for all, HOW we created it, WHAT is it that we disregarded that has lead us to our current experience of consequence on Earth and within this seeing/ realizing that each one of us is able and capable of becoming part of the solution if we start applying/ living the principle of Life in Equality as ourselves. This is how we must practically take Self Responsibility for our creation.

10. Our community acknowledges its responsibility to maintain a diverse and sustainable biosphere for all future life to enjoy.

We must remember that we share our planet not just with other people, animals and plants, but also with the seeds of future people, animals and plants, who will walk and grow here some day.
These beings, who have no voice or influence today, are equally as entitled to life as we are. It is in the interest of all our species to leave the world to our future generations just as we found it, if not better.

Agreed. Within a system of equal consideration and prevention, we will learn how to care for all that is here maintaining/ sustaining and even restoring that which has been currently disregarded as an outflow of this current power-driven world. More than ‘sharing’ it is an actual co-existence that must be regarded within the terms of being One and Equal – this is the most important point to realize because this brings any action’s consequences back to Self in all ways. The Earth is unconditionally here, giving/ providing with all that we require to live.

We have to stop creating and re-creating all forms of separation in the name of greed, power and self-interest that is what has lead us to our current reality wherein we are very close to self-destruction based on the extended disregard that we have of one another as equals.

We are here to establish a system that is Best for All so that we can all finally see what it is to live, what is actual self expression once that we remove our current survival-mode that we have accepted as ‘how life is’ which is absolutely Not so at all.

At last but not at least, the main point that differs is the Implementation point wherein we as the Equal Money System, are considering the necessary participation in Politics to establish the Equality System at a political, social and economic level, which will be then placed through a democratic process within the principles of one man, one vote. At the moment I can only read an expected ‘change’ coming from giving ‘free-access’ to everyone within the free charter explanation of how it will be implemented, which is certainly not accurate or specific enough within the understanding of How it is that our current management and functioning is stemming from a political level.

We have understood that we cannot ‘change the system’ being outside of the system – or opposing it for that matter – we must support each other to understand that it must be through a political drive that we can all work with and be an active part of through the necessary processes to let people know that there is a new way to live in this world, providing the basics on how and why as well as necessary support to be able to walk the transformation process. Thus, the ‘adoption’ of a new system will come through political means, it won’t happen as easy as just ‘agreeing’ upon it. This is thus why a solution must be structured in equal perfection as the current system that we live in, which is obviously ‘flawed’ in terms of not supporting everyone equally – however, the way that it works proves it is ‘functional’ as a system that must be restructured to support everyone in an equal way.

We understand that such change will and cannot be impromptu and immediate, it will take the necessary space and time to implement it and the best way to do so, is becoming part of the people that support an Equal Money System not only as an Equal Access to Life system through the equalization of Money, but as the necessary step to educate ourselves within the consideration of Life in Equality – the one and only community that must exist is humanity living as equals in this world.

2012 Free World Charter Review – Equal Money System

Bastian wrote:I am questioning the approach, if it wouldn’t be smarter, to create petitions, get into contact with those in power and convince them, start small projects to demonstrate the power of an equal money system, convince them, think of ever new ways to get into contact with those, who actually can ‘implement’ such a system today and how to get their awareness, start campaigns on the street, thinking of ever easier ways to demonstrate the power and importance to change the root cause and problem of our current system.

‘Children of the world’ need an ‘equal opportunity’ to unfold their full potential.
And this CAN be done!
What is required is our VOTE for a basic income to meet their basic needs.
We live in one social-economical-system and every one of us is dependent on the ‘money’ we use every day for trading our ‘goods and services’ and without the ‘integration of the children’ of this world into our ‘trading system’ they get no chance to contribute to our world.
It’s our choice, our power, our VOTE, our demand!

In practical terms I see, that the ‘current power structures’ in the world, who make the ‘laws for money distribution’ are the ‘political institutions’ and that the most immediate ‘global change’ >COULD< come (I don’t believe it at all) from those individuals currently in power situations, where they are ‘suggesting’ and ‘voting’ on ‘new laws for the money distribution’ and ‘the way money is used today.

This can be to a certain extent so, for example when looking at solutions like the Basic Income Grant, we can see that there are political parties that are supporting it already – however as we know, it is only a temporary solution/ plan to support everyone to at least have the basics to live. Though as long as there exists Money as power in the way of laws/ regulations that are supposed to care for all in Equality, we will continue living within the same old system of voting for an apparent ‘change’ in how that money can be distributed.

If the entire monetary system is not reformed from its starting point and how it currently exists, it will most likely be futile trying to/ attempting to create a change without considering that the solution must be created from scratch as an entire new system where money is no longer based on debt, but only becomes an accounting tool to ensure all is Equally supported.

Hence the change will have to come from us supporting and endorsing the Equal Money System  as the way to create an entire new way of living/ coexisting in this world, with money no longer being a point of control and power, but simple management to distribute the necessary goods/ services to all beings in this world.

What I see is, that we need two things, one is the awareness of the public, by making the importance clear and the change attractive for more supporters.

See, the starting point of the Equal Money System is implementing a Living Principle which is Life in Equality, this is essentially how it ‘should have been’ since the beginning.  Hence we don’t have to convince anyone of ‘why’ Equality is what’s Best for All, because that is part of each one’s process of Self Realization in relation to becoming Aware of how we are existing in this world, how by simply existing HERE we are equally responsible in this world which makes us the key to create a transformation in the system if we see that it is not working for all in equal terms. You will notice that, as this current system collapses, more people will start looking for options in relation to an alternative system, a new system that could cover people’s basic needs – that’s how we have now points like the Basic Income Grant which we support as it creates a basic awareness on the requirement to support each other as Equals.

The second thing is an ‘accurate, consistent, meticulous worked out implementation plan, which in turn will be the strongest real change,

That plan is not yet ‘here’ because we cannot scheme such points with precision while we are still walking our own individual processes of learning How to live as Equals, how to live As the principle of Equality, which implies understanding and practically applying the tools to live in Self Honesty which is the inevitable necessary step before we start considering on creating such plans that will be created in the appropriate moment in time.

Understand the following: this is a process that has never been walked here on Earth, we are not a corporation trying to sell an ‘efficient plan’ that is sellable and attractive to people that are still only considering what is ‘best for them’ in a system where life has been monetized instead of regarded as Equal in all ways. The ‘strongest real change’ will be each individual standing as the principle of Life in Equality here, as such individuals will then understand what is required to be done in order to implement this system and support others to do the same through an educational process, which anyone has access to currently as the platform of Self Support that Desteni is.

for then it really raises the most important question of all and that is how exactly do we achieve the highest effect in the smallest amount of time and how do we practically implement the equal money system. At the moment we are a couple of hundred people following a great idea of what is best for all,

That is capitalist thinking right there in italics, which is linked to how time = money in a system that runs/ is motivated by profit making. See how it is within that  type of logic and thinking that we’ve accepted as ‘how things must be’ that we have to get back to common sense and debunk our own accepted and allowed ways of ‘how the system works’ and how one seek to get it all ‘done’ right away, just as we are now currently paying for products and consuming them without having an idea or consideration of all the processes behind its production.

This is for example, beginning with the extraction of the necessary prime matter to produce them: who labors in that, how are they paid, how are the corporations then making use of such resources, who’s earning what, what is the rate of abuse and human violations in such activity? What does the price that I’m paying actually covering and who gets the most within such transaction? Within tracing one single chocolate bar  through this processes until the moment when you finally pay for it, you would probably think twice in terms of how our desire for ‘efficient systems’ are currently based mostly on our negligence as humanity that accepts and allows exploitation and abuse as a form of ‘labor for the poor,’ just because of being quite comfortable with only ‘paying the price’ without being involved/ getting our hands dirty in looking at the actual processes behind the production of products and services that we use and sometimes only ‘indulge into’ without it being an actual basic need.

When we start seeing how this world system works, we become aware of how the solution must be applied/ lived first within ourselves to understand our point of responsibility in how the world is currently functioning/ existing as.

but if we get older and can’t convince anyone of these ideals, they will drop, for an idea is only as strong as the number of people demanding it.
Another thing is, that there are many groups out there trying their utmost to demand change. But they are to far away from the current people in power, who could ‘suggest’ and ‘vote’ and ‘implement’ an equal money system today. Put it in place actually today!

An idea will remain only an idea if no one lives it. We are a group of people beginning to live an Equal Money System within ourselves wherein we are practically walking and sharing a process of seeing where and how we have participated in the current separation and polarization that we’ve created as this world, as the entire monetary system wherein we have created such perceptual values in separation of what is Here as the physical reality that is literally ‘priceless.’

We as human beings have been the ones that have created an entire monetary system based on one’s own desires to be ‘powerful’ and ‘having it all,’ which has translated to the entire way that all relationships function in the system – whether economical, socially and politically speaking including our very own personal-relationships wherein we seek to get that ultimate fulfillment and desire accomplished for us to attain some form of ‘happiness’ and ‘well being’ without considering all the points that make such ‘dreams/ ideals’ possible.

Within having these objectives and ‘desires’ existent in each individual, we’ve created a system wherein everyone is competing to ‘make it/ get it’ and in that, forgetting about anything that has to do with others and supporting others as equals. This is how we are living in a dog eat dog world wherein there are those that win and those that lose, those that ‘survive’ according to how well they are able to follow the rules and get the best skills in manipulating and deceiving to ‘get the most of the cake,’ and those that decide not to play the game and live as renegades of the system without having proper ways to support themselves. Both points are equally supporting a system of Inequality – we are all here and responsible for sustaining and supporting a system of abuse through the very existence of Money as it does in this world.

Hence you can look at how we have to first focus on ourselves, on debunking our starting point of doing/ living in this world and bringing that starting point and motivation to create what’s Best for All. As long as we still seek an idea of success or fulfillment based on one’s own individual preferences and desires within life and what we could consider as ‘fulfilling,’ we’ll remain looping around a system based and designed to only provide such fulfillment at the expense of others that are abused and used in the process that allows only a very few in this world to have a standard living of wealth and ‘prosperity.’

We can’t look at convincing ‘those in power’ as they are well ingrained and also surviving from keeping their job that supports the current system that is in place. The solution must come from the realization that we have accepted and allowed the current system to exist the way it does, we are thus responsible for creating one that is best fro all.

We understand that the Equal Money System won’t be placed and voted for overnight, this is a process and everyone that understands the imperative necessity for us to begin this process at an individual level, begins with themselves because there is no way that we can implement and advocate a solution without us having that point of Equalization as Ourselves.

We would all want it to ‘get it done’ as soon as possible, but because it is a process and it must be walked as and within each individual as certain group, it takes time to create and establish a solid foundation of participants. Hence we will take the necessary time and that will mostly imply at least a decade to get the basics  in place. Thus, what I suggest is for you to realize that we obviously would want all the atrocities in this world to be stopped right away, however we understand that all that we are currently facing is part of our manifested consequences accumulated through all the time that we disregarded the fact that: what is Here is ourselves and should be given equal access to within a political/ social and economical system = an all encompassing system based in one single principle: Life in Equality.

I am questioning the approach, if it wouldn’t be smarter, to create petitions, get into contact with those in power and convince them, start small projects to demonstrate the power of an equal money system, convince them, think of ever new ways to get into contact with those, who actually can ‘implement’ such a system today and how to get their awareness, start campaigns on the street, thinking of ever easier ways to demonstrate the power and importance to change the root cause and problem of our current system.

You can take that point for/as yourself and become an individual that supports the Equal Money System, you’re able to record yourself, write blogs and share them in the internet. Nowadays, we’re seeing how such public protests have no effect whatsoever to create a ‘change’ in the system. Once again, it’s not about ‘convincing’ someone but presenting common sense and sharing how it is able to be lived in congruence to one’s individual life, as those are the points that can be the proof/ example of how within living as and by a principle of Life in Equality, we are able to create a substantial difference in how we live/ interact with others which then will inevitably create a window of opportunity for others to see that they are also able to do it.

The more people are able to become aware of there being a solution in this world based on Life in Equality, the faster we’ll move and that’s why we do what we do as Desteni/ Equal Money System through social media and everywhere else we can in as well to develop a presence in each one’s reality.

Thus YOU become that point that speaks up, you don’t require large groups = we move through the Internet where you join an already existent and established network that promotes Life in Equality at all levels.

With regards to your writing,

But we need to reach those in power or create power ourselves and what I see as most important of all things is the transparent truly practical realistic comprehensible ‘implementation plan of the equal money system’ which would speak for itself.

This point I suggest discarding as it is implying that ‘those in power’ have to create a ‘change’ and it is not so, the Equal Money System is a set of individuals that will be and create the necessary transformations in the system through political means = this is not coming from your current political parties/ politicians. See how the description is not accurate in terms of people being highly influenced by knowledge to not understand what ‘Equality’ implies – hence the most basic common sense would have to be included in any form of Equal Money System propaganda as this is an educational process as well.

Basically my question is, how are we going to establish and integrate this administration? How will we move from our current power and rule structures, which are followed by nearly 7,000,000,000 people to this administration which has to be trusted by all these people?

Please read the latest update on Implementation of a global Equal Money System at the wiki and all its components on this subject.

Thanks Bastian if you are willing to contribute, I’ve already explained how you can start today with vlogging/ blogging and becoming a practivist within the Equal Money System, which implies that You live by and apply the Equality principle as yourself in your reality. There is no other way that we can get to ‘grasp’ what Equal Money means if we don’t begin with looking at how it is required for each one of us to ‘Equalize’ ourselves as everything and everyone that is HERE.
For this Desteni is the necessary step as the source of Education and Tools to support ourselves to live as Equal beings in this World.

Response to Patrick van Gompel

“Hello Marlen. No, I wouldn’t say that looking at starving people is inequality. To me, it is the eyes that are looking that make it unequal. The mind judges it to be unequal, the event doesn’t.

What exactly do you mean with equally supported? Is this humans only (by humans)?”

Following the explanation on how we as humanity have created a comfortable and convenient – only for some – illusion as a set of values in separation of ourselves, we see how we have seeped this make believe system through language which became the way that we built this entire world system, a system with a foundation and starting point of separation from who we really are as life. We can deduce from this that it is the mind that creates the inequality perception while beings/ things just ‘are’ and ‘exist’ equal and one to ourselves as all that is Here. 

However, within looking at situations wherein human beings/ any living being are being deliberately neglected to have equal living conditions, we realize that there is a problem and that such inherent quality of having an equal living standard as the realization of who we really are, is being neglected when such living standard is below or way above the basic requirements. This implies that inequality is then created by the human being according to a make-believe system as our current monetary system that enables this inequality to be a reality lived without even having the proper ability/ education to question it.

Hence even if there was ‘no mind’ involved in seeing a starving child, we would still see/ realize in common sense that they are NOT being provided with the necessary to live. Inequality is then not only a ‘mental perception of separation,’ but a reality that we are all well aware of is tip toeing around the brink of destruction as the ego of man has taken over this world/ reality – in other words due to/ because of remaining in a mindset of ‘not giving a fuck.’  Such disregard is already tangible as the manifested consequences that are visible in how the current world system of money and economics is already imploding as its proving itself to be inherently unsustainable. There is apparently ‘no solution in place’ until now.

I think life supports life, but the human mind denies itself and others support (at least, that is what the mind thinks.)
So to me that means that only in one’s mind something is not equally supported. Because without the mind, there would not be the ‘unequally supported idea/event.’

I agree from the perspective of how it is common sense that life is here and unconditionally providing us with everything we require to live and we are an equal-part of it– we as humanity have been abusing what is and has always been here, shaping it into a system/ construct of abuse placed within a hierarchical order wherein we have all tacitly agreed to have only some inevitably ‘on top of the pyramid’ and a vast majority way down at the base of it, having no ability to ever ‘escalate’ within such social-stratification.

Who/ what created, designed and implemented such hierarchical system that became our Ponzi scheme reality? We did, we as human beings immersed in ideals of power and success at the expense of others.

It is an inherently abusive system that has overshadowed that which is here as life, unconditionally; this includes us as physical beings that could definitely ‘be born as life’ = support life and be an actual equal-provider, manager and custodian of life on Earth – this is then not only human beings of course, but every single living being/ part that is equally here as ourselves. Thus it is so that only in our minds we can create such systems of inequality – yet! The way that  this reality is still operating reveals that we are Not yet living such equality as an actual physical and consistent equal support to all participants, and this is, once again, due to how this entire world system is built and founded upon inequality through the current functioning of the monetary system.  We created it.

Hence, what is the Equal Money System but an agreement to stop following the separation created at a mind level that has perpetuated as this current system to stop denying each other equal access to what is here = equal support to live as how we see is common sense to live and support each other with. In essence, you’ve nailed the point that we’re walking here:  Because without the mind, there would not be the ‘unequally supported idea/event.

Equal Money as an individual process of self realization is precisely that: realizing that all forms of inequality,separation as superlatives and diminutives, as highs and lows, as rich and poor are only mentally created systems of airy-fairy values that have No physical correspondence to what is HERE as ourselves, as life, as physics, as the entire world.

Equal Money means taking the mind out of the equation that is required to be implemented as a mathematical certainty to make sure that each one is giving and receiving equal access to the necessary means to live in this reality – that is then all based on living according to the physical, tangible reality instead of following a mind-system manifested as our current monetary system of debt, scarcity creating fear and inequality through each one of us having accepted the very existence of rich and poor as part of this world.

Whether it is in your own interest I doubt, but I do not know. If you see yourself as life, it is in your own interest. Or life’s interest.

See, within the premise of being one and equal and doing everything from that starting point: my interest = what’s best for all interest.

How does this work? It is ensuring that anything we do/ say/ make/ decide and implement must be in accordance to the consideration of such point being able to support life, support each individual living being as part of this world. Thus, if I see and realize that who I am is Life and equally here as everything else that I am aware of, I then support myself to actually finally LIVE in Equality with all parts that are here. What we are currently doing is merely surviving while believing that seeking for experiences and emotional/ feeling responses is what ‘life is all about’ – when it is absolutely not so in fact.

It is in the best interest of all to see and realize that we have lived in a very limited spectrum of our reality because of being mostly immersed in our personal reality wherein we don’t tend to consider that we are part of a single world wherein we don’t live ‘alone’ but with 7+ billion human beings plus innumerable living species that must also be considered as part of our reality. What would be life’s interest then? At the moment to create  the necessary structures and generate the paradigms that will support LIFE in Equality = an Equal Life System, an Equal Money System.

What I do/ what I don’t do is eventually be able to be visible as the accumulation of points that I am living and creating in every moment. It is also in the best interest of all to see and discover this realization through an individual process  so that we can stand as actual equal-beings that regard life as the primary point here wherein there is no personal-benefit sought to ‘get somewhere’ or ‘attain something.’ It is about living by a principle. Such life principle is able to be lived and applied by all in/as Equality. If I am walking a process to realize myself as equal and one as life, it is in ‘our’ best interest to do this and make of equality an actual reality for ALL. If ALL is considered – where does Self interest exist? in ALL as Equals as what’s best for All. This is as rounded and full-circle as can ever be.

But is life ever really threatened? I think not.

Life as the system that we currently know is certainly threatened. Just look at the numbers of how the entire biosphere is currently facing deterioration and depletion in various aspects while already having alarming rate of species going extinct that are not being considered when we continue scavenging the world to continue pumping up our ‘lives’ in a world that requires such an extensive amount of abuse toward the world/ nature, animals, plants and fellow human being only to sustain the current system based on profit, moved by greed and perpetuated by each one that accepts the current monetary system ‘as it is.’

From this perspective Life is being severely threatened, every single moment. Even as individuals, we are constantly threatened to ‘not make it till the next day’ if not having enough money to eat, if not having enough money to be able to ‘make a living’ which requires having an education and many other resources to then get to a position where you are more or less stable without having to exist in such constant threat as fear of not being able to make it till tomorrow.

The only ‘life’ we can talk about is the reality that we are all equally aware of and live as at the moment, where we can certainly say that a dead body doesn’t ‘cease to exist,’ but transforms into another ‘state of being’ = remains on Earth – yet it doesn’t obviously exist as what it once was a someone’s physical body powering an entire ego/ personality as the mind.

Does it matter if all of the humans die or even this whole world? Do you think here is no more life then, or that anything has been lost?

I find it far fetched to think that this whole world could die, that’s being mostly a desire in the back of my head that I’ve worked with to stop and see how I was only wishing this to happen – including the death of all humans – so that I wouldn’t have to ‘worry’ about creating a solution that could stand as a point of support and maintenance for everyone living in this world. How I have corrected my starting point and the way that I currently approach it is as a point of actual matters where this is not about pondering ‘what is important’ or how I perceive it to be ‘important’ or ‘mattering’ wherein I would only be playing out the same value schemes we’ve imposed on to life as what is here.

However, there is an actual reason of why we are here on Earth, why we are walking through the manifested consequence of us neglecting the matter that we are made-of as one and equal to what is here as the entirety of this reality. Life cannot be ‘destroyed,’ not even if everything was ‘destroyed’ could it all ‘cease to exist.’ There cannot be something ‘actually lost’ but only transformed into less suitable forms of life that we are here to correct/ align into a level of equality as equal-potential to actually live and express.

If all is life, what does it matter that some parts of it have an experience of what we would call starvation?
- Patrick

It is not something that ‘we would call’ – it is a fact. Place yourself in the shoes of such starving person and then ponder what is it that actually matters. The laxity with which we tend to see and live-as in this world is mostly stemming from having a secure point that is currently preventing us – dare I say defending us- from having to experience such harsh reality of having virtually No-thing to eat, living in dire conditions wherein you can’t get out of your house because of living somewhere in the middle east wherein a super powerful combo of killers are coming in to destroy and kill anyone just to generate some type of conflict to eventually place their hands over oil. This is just to place yourself in such situation and ponder what existing in actual conflict would be like.

If a single being in this world is being abused, if a single being in this reality is neglected from having equal access to that which enables us to live, we will not be able to actually be here as one and equal = common sense: ‘None is free until All is Free’ – that’s implied within oneness and equality.

What ‘matters’ here is what you now decide to do and live by if you have understood these points as well as the entire series of support given/ created specifically answering your questions.

I have an open question for you: what is preventing you from supporting what’s best for all? What is it that is still tampering your ability to stand up for life even if common sense is existent within you to realize the fundamental aspects of what we are proposing here.

One thing is certain: we can not continue neglecting our every day reality – we are suggesting that it is not necessary having to walk through the path of misery equal to the one that billions that are starving are living in, but instead we act and take this stand and commitment in life to ensure we transform the current reality into a system that can support everyone equally. ‘If we tolerate this, then your children will be next’ – that’s the line from a manic street preachers’ song that got carved in my mind as a reminder that it is within ourselves that we are able to stop this from perpetuating as an eternal enslavement from generation to generation. This is not about tolerating or not, it is about taking self responsibility for the transformation and creation of adequate life-supportive systems that we see are absolutely required to be implemented and lived in this world.

We cannot possibly go on like this, getting lost in philosophical terms and mind-elated realities wherein it is comfortable to ‘get beyond the physicality’ and considering only the ever-lasting aspect of the life that we haven’t ever actually lived.

Cool for the feedback,

Time to get real,  Patrick.

No more Children on the Street in an Equal Money System

Feedback on the video:

“Life Labor System – Equal Money System”

Hi
I wanted to ask how the I process helps to produce the water and food we need every day? Wouldn’t it be a quicker process to help the world, if we would all find a job, where we produce water and food for our need today and even so much, that we can give something to others?
Sincerely
Bastian

Hi Bastian
The I Process is the course and – dare I say – process that each individual walks to first stand as a Self-Responsible being, taking responsibility for our own mind which is how we have created ourselves as individuals within/ as this world that only ‘care’ for a particular set of aspects that are mostly directly related to ‘who we are’ in terms of the place we’re born into,  family, socioeconomic status, gender, culture and everything else that defines ‘who we are’ within this system, instead of realizing that within being part of this world we all should be born within a system that’s based on what is Best for All Life as the principle of Equality.

What we have realized within this is that we can’t ‘help the world’ within the current platform we have of a system based in inequality  that is Not supporting everyone equally by default. Any attempt to ‘help’ would only create further enslavement/ dependency on providing such help without actually creating the necessary support platforms to enable those that are ‘in need’ to be able to provide for themselves and have everything they could require to live in dignity. It is common sense that what is required is equal-power given to each individual so that no one is bound to remain in an inferior position, unable to fend for themselves.

I suggest you search for the term ‘charity’ in this forum and you’ll get blogs and vlogs explaining how it is not an option because of the above mentioned reasons. Charity merely confirms that it is ‘okay’ for some people to be in need, to be disenfranchised from basic life support and requiring ‘help’ instead of setting a system that guarantees equal living support for everyone.

Have a look at how you cannot only focus on ‘water and food’ when looking at the entirety of how the system functions in this world. Yes, they are primary points that enable every being to continue ‘living’ – yet, it is futile to only focus within these aspects only which is only considering a form of primitive survival that is certainly Not what’s best for all.

Within the current system you will find the most outrageous policies wherein for example, if you wanted to extract water from a certain territory, you would have to enter a process of litigation with certain corporation that might have hogged the ‘rights’ to extract water from such area. Many beings are already seeing this as part of their reality wherein people from such cities/territories with vast amounts of water are witnessing international corporations coming in and taking the resources to sell them at exorbitant prices. Hence, people have no access to what should be given ‘equal access to’ – just like the basic needs you mention here as water/ food. This is one of the reasons why we first have to establish a political, economical and social system based on Equality so that the starting point of everything we implement as social policy is absolutely clear in terms of not being able to profit from providing the necessary means to survive for all.

If you start looking at the ‘food’ point, you’ll find the same thing. An example I just found today: The Food vs. Fuel Battle Continues. See how this is about ‘policies’ that are NOT considering what’s best for all, and only considering how to maintain their interests on the top of everything else, instead of actually considering ways to stop the unnecessary consumption of fuel, which as we know is pretty much linked to how everything in this current system functions: endlessly producing and consuming just to ‘generate enough  money’ and keeping the entire system running.

What the I Process allows you to see/ understand is how each one of us as individuals have neglected the interconnection and multiple conditions we have placed onto everything that is already here as part of the Earth, just so that we could find ways to have masters and slaves = creating a system of inequality is based on the necessary acceptance of some being being ‘lucky’ enough to be born in a golden crib, while others are born in conditions that can enslave them for life,  without having any possibility to find opportunities to progress and support themselves effectively. Any form of slavery/ inequality is the direct result of the mechanisms of the mind within an eternal desire to win, to be ‘more than,’ to obtain some form of ‘power’ to believe and perceive to be above others wherein, when translated into a monetary system, manifests as ‘the rich’ and ‘the poor’ wherein we eventually accept both polarities as part of the system, without having ever pondered why it is that such forms of abuse have been acceptable since unmemorable times.

This process is walked in both ways: in an inner/ outer perspective  -which is how we are currently walking here. Realize that it won’t be as easy as ‘empowering people to extract resources and distribute them equally’ – that’s just One single aspect wherein money will be the tool to make sure mathematics aren’t able to be manipulated in order to only benefit some.

Among many others, we require substantial changes in laws, education, how industries operate, we require to stop the ability to make any form of profit, which is in essence having ‘power’ over another = abusing others in the name of money. This implies that there will be a general expropriation of resources, implementing technology and making use of logistics to distribute the necessary for all equally, regardless of any political veto, cultural barrier, language, etc. – this is  looking at how we exist in a world separated by nations, cultures and religions that are now creating the current wars based on basic needs like water, food and the current fuel of the system which is oil – All of it because of not having first looked-at/ considered HOW we have disregarded Equality as the very starting point of existence as human beings, as that prime relationship regulator that has never existed in our judicial systems.

Hence, I suggest you take your question and look at the origin point of separation wherein we have neglected our ability to give to each other what we require to live, which is in common sense, giving equal access to food, water and everything else that ensures a dignified living condition to every single being – not only humans of course.

This will take time, there are no ‘quick fixes’ and the process we are walking as the I Process is then allowing ourselves to understand How we have first created ourselves, how we are supporting the current system of separation at the very thought level, which eventually manifests at a higher scale creating the current wars, judgments and overall disenchantment that many beings are experiencing within this society wherein there doesn’t seem to be ‘a way out.’

That’s how and why we are able to take any current problem and place it into perspective to understand how the key point is educating ourselves within the principle of Equality.  It is vital to first stand as a Self-Responsible being that is able to see/ understand how we ‘work’ at a mind level, to then correlate how we have implemented such inner workings as our current socioeconomic and political systems.
That’s what we walk then as an individual process wherein we work with ourselves, with our own thoughts/ feelings/ emotions/ beliefs to eventually get to a point of standing one and equal as our mind. In essence no ‘human nature’ will be able to get in the way of providing for another or having to depend on a job to exist.

Equal Money is about giving equal access to everyone, not only ‘sharing’ but giving the birth-right to live in dignity – no one will have to become the charity-helper person, but rather become a being that promotes equal living-access to resources within the common sense point of how everything we require is already here is of the Earth. We are on Earth, hence we all should have the same ability to make use of what is here to live = common sense. This is part of the simple approach we have to promote and speak about within this world, which is currently being neglected/ not paid enough attention mostly due to the indoctrination process that is making sure no one ever considers such basic common sense points as the requirement to change/ reform the entire current system – as well as all the interests that are being safeguarded within an unequal system.

Thus within the I Process we become the individuals that are able to prove to ourselves and each other that we are in fact considering what’s best for all by our very own application through the points that we learn and apply within it, which is directly linked to seeing how an Equal Money System will become the platform to be able to live-by and apply such living-principles as a point of Self Responsibility, for all-equally. No more ‘elites’ required, no more ‘special individuals’ voted on, everyone is equally empowered to see the common sense required to direct any situation and stand within a principle that will be the actual guideline to support each other in this world.

Eventually the Desteni I Process will become part of the necessary foundation to educate everyone in this world. Hence I suggest you research on it because it is worth-while supporting oneself through reading others as well.

There can be no ‘missing point’ if all points are equally considered.

Inequality is the source of failure in the world – when this is understood, Equal Money will be embraced as the only answer that can eradicate the current severed relationships based on cultural differences and political discrimination. This is why Equal Money begins within each one of us removing all possible beliefs systems of separation and educating ourselves to be able to coexist effectively standing by one single principle: Equality as Life. Without Equality, all “solutions” will fail.

Let us know if this is clear enough or you require further perspectives on this point.
Thanks

Originally taken from the topic:

Water and food we consume every day at the Equal Money System forum.

Finland has become well known for having an overall ‘high standard living’ compared to the rest of the world. In an Equal Money System, ‘high standard living’ will simply become Equal Life For All. By this we mean that every being will be born into a world wherein all support is given as a birth-right, regardless of any of the current perceived differences such as nation, race, family background, national economy or any other points that are creating/ enhancing the current social inequality in this world.

Finland’s example proves that a society that is regarding equality over competition thrives because the basic principles are understood: Equality empowers people = empowers a Nation, they understand that a nation’s backbone begins within the Educational System. When you have a system that inherently requires social inequality to keep its hierarchical structure in place – regardless of how this should go against all “constitutions”- an often large sector of the population is deliberately left behind, unable to afford quality-education; this means that what should be a birth-right is currently only possible to a selected few, leaving the rest having no option but to remain uneducated  while only working to be able to survive in this world.

It is almost impossible to create a point of Equality in an Educational system that is based on profit, competition and general profiling to maintain different sectors/ classes in society with a limited amount of opportunities to upgrade their position in society. Finland’s example remains just as that, a nation’s implementation that will still place them above the rest of the world which is how nations/ economic blocks are able to then use such superior position to their advantage. Equality is then missed even within their internal consideration of equal-quality education, because they are leaving the rest of the world out of their equation.

Let’s look at the rest of the world.

Kids are born into certain families, certain countries wherein their choices will be defined/ limited by the inherent amount of money they are benefitted by. This is unacceptable, it is obstructing a being’s ability to live because of being born into a pre-configured world wherein not everyone is able to ‘afford’ quality-living which includes quality-education. Imagine yourself being born in a third world country where you get to know of all the benefits and thriving positions other kids around the world have, while your ‘choices’ for education are non existent, where education could even be something reserved for only a few that doesn’t include ‘you.’ This is still exiting in this world and it becomes quite obvious that we cannot continue accepting social disparity and polarization in the name of  money/ profit/ greed with the nice tag of a nation’s economical standard in the world.

Education must Stop being a Product!

It’s been placed on the table how the existence of ‘private schools’ and ‘public schools’ creates a rift, a point of separation and discrimination that everyone becomes aware as soon as there is an understanding that higher costs = higher quality education. In America as well as in South America, private schools = good quality education, whereas public school means poor quality education – with their handful counted exceptions. Why have we accepted such differences as ‘usual’ and ‘normal’ if they are only based on money? Why would only a few get to be educated to become leaders while a vast majority is kept at a lower level so that they cannot possibly progress to obtain such ‘leadership positions,’ while being deliberately relegated and  bound to a single limited outcome throughout their entire lives: poverty, slavery, many of them not even knowing what ‘going to school’ is like.   This is certainly a crime against humanity, it is unacceptable.

Isn’t it an actual abuse toward ourselves as humanity whenever we deny each other the ability to have proper quality education, just because of the hidden-mechanisms (money) that  define our access to it? We’ve made of education another product that is sold according to people’s budget wherein the result is poor people having poor quality education, while rich people/ people with enough money can have access to better education. Elitism is formed this way which is the source of general social discontent due to the obvious separation it creates, not only at an educational level, but in all aspects wherein the rest of your life will be defined/ determined according to the schools that you attended to. Such discrimination is not an option, it’s a reality according to how we’ve set up this current system based on profit where Education is also part of the game.

One of the greatest problems at the moment is teachers not being paid sufficient amount of money, which is forcing many to quit their jobs – even if they genuinely enjoy them – and getting a more profitable one – often becoming entrepreneurs – because they’re not able to keep up with their bills. This is a single sign of decay within the educational system and all because of lacking proper incentives for teachers to continue their labor.  The same point applies for students the other way around – higher tuition fees are the cause of perpetual student-loans that end up being an endless debt at the end of your career without having any possibility to pay the money back, because there are no jobs available. No more endless debts because of Education.

Today we got to know that America is now around place #23 in educational ranks around the world – is this another sign that competition and a profit driven education is no longer working in this world?

Even the so-called quality-education in ‘prestigious private schools’ is still only focused on preparing children/ people to survive in a profit driven world.

In an Equal Money System there will be no need for such incentives, rewards or demands on higher wages and lower tuition fees because the entire system will have a set standard living that will be best for all in equality. This means that all will be equally empowered to the benefit of themselves and the entire world. Right now because of us existing in separation in the form of nations, cultures and  economic blocks,  it seems like the current order is ‘unchangeable,’  but it is actually a matter of understanding that if we want to prevail as humanity on this world, we all have to consider implementing Equality as the basic principle in our educational systems. What does competition brew? Further fight for survival wherein no one learns how to collaborate with each other for a single outcome that benefits everyone involved.

‘Divide and conquer’ has been part of the current system. Hence the key for this is getting money/profit/ survival out of the equation and considering the actual opportunity we have at hand to create a system that works in equality for all, where money becomes a single accountability tool for what we will already know is our responsibility.

Education is the indispensable first step each individual takes on to understand why Equality must be lived/ understood as a living principle to create Social Equality at all levels in our reality. We begin with ourselves by understanding how we have created ourselves in consideration of all aspects that we participate in our day to day living. Each individual’s life is taken through a process of self correction to learn how to live as Equals and eventually become part of the support to assist and support others to do the same – that’s the Equality point in application until everyone is ‘on the same page’ so to speak.

For this, we all require to educate ourselves first and the current educational systems are still flawed and immersed within the capitalist system, still having money as the ‘driving force’ behind it from any angle you can see it. Therefore, a never before seen process of education at an individual level must be taken into consideration before continuing trying to implement solutions without looking at the basic principles that must be considered as a premise to the creation of an Equality System. We are already doing this at Desteni and the Desteni I Process which are the ways in which us human beings can correct ourselves to be genuinely caring for  ourselves, this world and everyone in it as Equals. Concepts like Self Responsibility, Self Honesty, Self Correction become the key points to live by as a process of re-educating ourselves to consider the current problems we are facing in our reality and see the common sensical solutions that can be implemented once money stops being a limitation for it.  We can only conduct a change from the root by beginning with ourselves.

Education is a pivotal point in the Equal Money System and is already part of our political agenda being walked by several beings – including myself – that are already proof that it is possible to change the current ‘human nature’ that has created this current system of social hostility and economical disparity. Thus, the solutions placed here stem from this process of self realization in terms of understanding how Equality must be implemented in all ways within the system. It is only through implementing Equality as the living principle in this world that the entire world – not only a few nations – can thrive and become that which we have always desired our lives to be.

Choices of education will be one and equal: the best possible. It won’t matter where in the world you’re born in, you’ll be equally empowered with tools that allow you to take self responsibility in this world effectively, while learning ways in which we can contribute to enhance our living conditions in a world that will no longer be based on survival, profit and elitism. We are already learning how to cooperate and coexist with each other, working together for a single outcome that will not be for further empowerment of nations against each other or as a form of competitiveness between individuals, but will always be based on what’s best for all,

Imagine how cool it would be to not have only ‘teachers’ as the ones with the responsibility to educate children, and instead virtually anyone could support children/ others in common sense. This is actual equal-empowerment, which is what Education should be at the end of the day, not only limited/ confined to classrooms and teacher-student relationships,  but lived in any activity/ task that we participate in.

Transcending the Past, Education and Creating New Humans

A Real Education Revolution – My Personal Story with DESTENI

Equal education for all – Equal money

My experience toward ‘careers’

Why is Education NOT the Way out of Poverty

As we move into a year that has been marked as ‘the end of the world’ more and more perspectives on how this world is actually collapsing at various levels emerge in the media.
Evidence shows that we have built a world around consumerism, around buying and selling life in order to ‘make a living’ while producing more shit to live. And by shit I mean products that are not made out of an actual purpose and requirement to live, but are only manufactured to create new needs implanted and promoted through nice pictures that suit personalities and lifestyles that can afford being constantly seeking the fastest, easiest, most enjoyable way of ‘living.’

Who has created such a system? Who has deliberately kept the current status quo of a never ending quest to ‘conquer the world’ as ‘the superior species’ that we’ve claimed ourselves to be? Us, all of us – humans. It is a great comfortable lie to only blame the corporations – because we buy from them; it’s easy to blame politicians – while we vote for them, and even if you don’t vote, we are all still accepting the current political system where only a few are ‘in power’ and taking decision for the whole. Though it’s also ‘great’ to delude ourselves into what this world ‘has to offer’ in terms of media and entertainment that is able to exist in a nice fluffy alternate reality where ‘everything is alright’ while bowing down to a system based in inequality, a system that is proving itself to have failed at creating dignified living conditions for all  beings, as well as an actual preservation of the resources on the planet based on indispensable consumption to live. But! this is not seen, this is not promoted because it goes against the ‘laws’ of capitalism where ‘the more you buy, the ‘wealthier’ you are,’  ‘the more you consume, the ‘happier’ you are’ – these have been underlying mottos that we’ve accepted as  our motivation to keep going in this world.

We have been the co-creators of every single policy in this reality that has stood only as a benefit for our hedonist lifestyles while disregarding what we are inherently supporting just by the mere fact of supporting and complying to a world wherein we  ‘buy life.’ This single acceptance has lead us to the horrible truths that only few dare to research upon.

How come there is mercury in our light-saving light bulbs? How is it that water fluoridation is not controlled at all eventually creating damages at a cellular level? How come we’ve allowed an over-production of cars to have up to 900 million cars in this world – and still going up in numbers -all requiring oil that is the subject of wars, all of them expelling exorbitant amounts of carbon dioxide and other chemical pollutants into the air. It is certainly not cool living in a city where you can’t breathe clean air at all.

How come that we’ve agreed to make of McDonald’s one of the most profitable companies around the world this year while having material that gruesomely exposes their industrial farming where chickens are kept in the most macabre ways only to eventually be killed so that you can have your ‘happy meal’ – this is only an example among several other violations that threaten the lives of animals and humans alike in such massive production system. McDonald’s is ‘still going strong’ in the world where everyone is attempting to follow the ‘American way of ‘living,’’ promoting images of happiness and satisfaction while hiding the most atrocious ways entailed in their production.  Who consumes? We do and they are not alone.

Ronald’s company shares the throne next to companies like Google – god nonetheless – Pfizer, keeping the nations doped in well-established agreements with FDA and the entire brigade of psychiatrists that are more than happy to have you there every month seeking for your ‘antidote’ to any mental experience that you’ve created for yourself. Apple which has been the most effective in creating and setting ‘new trends’ in terms of updating products unnecessarily, creating a fan base of loyal consumers that keep the company growing around the world. Jobs might have been a ‘great developer,’ but he also found ways to create his products in a ‘clever’ way using slave labor in China, in factories where slaves/ ‘workers’ are forced to work over hours while living in  rooms with other 20 people, just to keep it all ‘sustainable.’ Now, who doesn’t have an iPod, iPhone, iPod or Mac ?

Nike, a company that reveals people sweating while enjoying their products but hiding the ‘sweat-shop’ actual effort and suffering within the factories in Asia, having workers that  have no other option than cutting meals a day just to afford painkillers in case of getting sick.All of these companies also produce exorbitant amount of rubbish that is dumped and not taken responsibility for, at all.  It is an all encompassing detrimental and harmful business that is currently placing animals in extinction, animals being abused and kept in the most insane ways to be killed and sold to cover the increasing rates of meat demand in the market. Add the polluting aspect with chemicals and hazardous materials that are often used in the products without anyone knowing about it. These are all then packaged and sold in plastic containers and wraps, all of it being part of the ‘convenient’ materials for a fast-food lifestyle that is sold and packed ‘ready to go’ to fulfill our needs/ desires as soon as possible with ‘great quality’ on top of that.  I mean, isn’t it obvious that this world is based upon absolute abuse, betrayal, harm and negligence to one another? This includes not only human beings, but animals, plants, the environment, the very air we breathe?

Looking at the garbage that gets dumped into the ocean: what are the solutions to this? Straining the ocean is not an option as that would certain capture other species as well. They argue that cleaning the oceans is ‘beyond any nation’s budget’ – what if money wasn’t an obstacle to do so? The point is to stop the problem in its root. We’ve built a society based on a disposable lifestyle that we believe ends up in the trash can. No. It is horrific to see what animals are having to endure and die from because of this human-made world.

We are completely delusional if we think that over a hundred years of having cars running in this world, we won’t have a detrimental effect on Earth. The same applies for virtually every single industry where everything we use, wear, eat and just ‘buy’ has an entire set if procedures behind that we’re simply not aware of. We’re neglecting the very fact that it is the accepted and allowed hedonist lifestyle that is leading us to this current state we’re living in. We have neglected the vital consideration to create sustainable ways to live, beginning with our monetary system which is the main cause to these profit-driven industries that satisfy consumers to generate more capital – and the chain goes on. Where does it stop? With each one of us.

Do we really care about each other? No, otherwise the abuse, disregard and general carelessness about ourselves and the environment  would not exist, because we would not have accepted the current economical, political and social structures in the first place where being rich is the ultimate triumph, regardless of who’s chest you have to stand upon to do so.

Where is our human integrity? Has there EVER been human integrity? No. And I am sick and tired of living in this sick and polluted world. I cannot continue blaming or neglecting the facts that exist here, I stand up for a solution that we see and realize it is the root cause for the majority of the current problems we’ve created in this world: MONEY.

Investigate the Equal Money System wherein we are creating and planning a structure based on Equality, where life is dignified and supported unconditionally for all, as a birth-right. This will stop the extensive abuse toward animals, humans, plants, the environment as the principle is Equality implemented through Equal Money where our basic requirements to live are supplied by virtue of living here.  By having our needs met, we will have all the time we require to start investigating ways in which we can clean up the world, as well as stopping producing unnecessary products that are only fulfilling a certain ‘personality’ and ideal-lifestyle that has never considered the reality that we live in, wherein those that ‘earn the least’ are the exploited ones that keep those on the top happy and celebrating a lifestyle that has its roots in abuse and suffering.

I could go on and on citing all the various aspects of human slavery, animal abuse, indiscriminate use of resources, social problems, political negligence, judicial unfairness, health detriment by untested products, lack of basic understanding of how we create this world, wars, famine, child abuse, family violence, consumerism, mental problems, greed, monopolies, pollution in the oceans, the air, our water depleted due to irresponsible contamination in this world…

We are Here, nonetheless.

Our reality will change, that’s for sure. But be aware that all changes made will only have one single purpose: Creating an Equal world where we stop the current suffering of all sentient beings in this world, stop harming and abusing ourselves because of money, stop abdicating our responsibility toward each other and start working together for a single outcome that will benefit all equally.

We are here to stop neglecting life, to stop our personal turmoil that tampers our ability to see what this reality as ‘our world’  has become by our own hands. We’re here to stop self interest to create common interests where life in equality means best for all.

Consumerism and resisting an Equal Money System

Consumerism and Education

Bernard Poolman – Energy and Consumerism

Picture yourself in another’s shoes.

You wake up in a bed within a clogged room with other 19 people, you gaze out the window and see nothing but barbwire and steel barriers to prevent you escaping from what it seems like a prison – yet it is ‘only’ your workplace, a factory which is conveniently located in the same terrain as your ‘living place.’ You get ready to begin your 7 days a week job at 6:30 am wherein you’ll remain working non stop until it is 11-12 pm. Your job consists of making toys for people in the ‘first world.’ Somehow you try to question why people require such stuffed animals and plastic devices to entertain kids – easy: they got the money to buy what they are offered as products in the store.

Your work is insanely tiresome, you have been made to sign a contract of 8 hours while working almost twice as much as ‘the law indicates’ without it being even recognized by the “authorities” within the factory you work in – who by the way, don’t really give a fuck about creating any proper working conditions for you. There you’re simply a number, a machine that gets paid according to how fast you can produce.You are incredibly fed up because you are forced to work till dawn, you get dizzy and your eyes hurt but can’t stop. There is no time for a quick rest either. Sometimes you skip breakfast so that you’re able to save a bit of money which eventually gets you even more tired and sleepy while working. You are then pointed at for not being productive and your bosses warn you about getting fired if you continue to fall asleep in your workplace. By the way, you cannot complain as that will ensure you are threatened along with the rest of your workmates that dare to speak up about the needs and requirements for proper working conditions you may be pondering about demanding.

You have no minimum wage – it’s all production based which is the way that you are kept ‘motivated’ to work extra hours to get ‘more money’ which is never enough for you to be able to buy the freedom that you yearn for every single day. It becomes obvious that you don’t work because ‘you like it,’ but because there is no other way to survive in such tight conditions within a country that has ‘opened doors’ to the world to become just an outsourcing nation that provides cheap labor with no proper labor regulation which ensures to any investor, maximum profit and the best job done in the required timeframes. Key word: No one will complain.

You are sold a convenient idea of being able to live and be ‘looked after’ in the same factory place – yet you know that this is the only way to keep it functional because you’ve already come from far away in the province to get this job due to the harsh conditions of poverty you were living in before you got this job. Even though you hardly own things, you are wishing to save enough to one day be ‘free’ and do what you would actually enjoy doing in your spare time. Sadly so, this day seems to perpetuate in a never ending smokescreen that tampers your sight every time that you see yourself day dreaming while grabbing pieces of plastic as hot as 200 C – you wonder if the people buying such product would even know or care about the fact that someone is having a hard time while producing such flashy pieces of plastic.

You are part of the cheap labor in the Chinese toy industry, you help create what represents 95% of the entire toy production that is sold in stores in Europe and the rest of the world. Your work is part of the high quality standards that such countries demand while being completely oblivious to the actual conditions you work in. You are not allowed to speak to international press about your working life, you’re not allowed to complain to any supervisor because you are well instructed about the lies that you must say to them in order to earn 50 extra Yuan for answering with the “correct” answers to them. You have no other choice in a world where money creates biased conducts and where ethical regulations have become another pompous word that’s never considering practical justice applied to such abusive working conditions.

You are not allowed to affiliate or become part of trade unions because that would signify being threatened back by your bosses on going bankrupt and eventually end up fearing losing your job every time that you dare to expose your case to the ‘authorities.’ You keep wondering if you’ll ever get out of such living conditions, you like to dream about it, but the heat of the machines and the constant noise brings you back to a harsh reality wherein every second counts like a cent. You got blisters, burns, cuts and any other injury around your arms and hands because of those times that you have wandered off in your mind, dreaming about the happy lives that people that buy such toys must have while you are stuck in this menial job for a lifetime. You must wear a face mask which doesn’t necessarily prevent you from developing lung diseases from being constantly exposed to elements like chrome and mercury.

It is all just ludicrous. You are bound to create products that look nice and make ‘kids happy,’ yet you are desperately crying inside asking for the world to see and realize that what you buy is not coming from a fully automated machine that can produce it all at will – no. This is all your job, this is you operating machines for over 12 hours a day in deplorable conditions without any time to enjoy, live and express yourself.  You have no choice within your life and often wonder if having no job at all could be a better situation than living in such conditions while being ‘employed.’

In a world where consumerism is the ‘key’ to move this entire system, slave labor is the way  to maintain the desired ‘low prices’ that we always seek in stores, never pondering how come that such products are able to be ‘so cheap’ and ubiquitous in our reality. There is no ‘corporate responsibility’ that can give proper solutions or answers to the most common questions on the allowance and acceptance of this abuse. Everyone is equally participating in a system of betrayal. We have bound ourselves to an agreement of absolute disregard to fellow human beings. We’ve made of this world, the people, the animals, plants and everyone else in it part of the assets that can be traded to give the most profit to those that have set the rules. These include calling requests for higher wages and less hours of work “bad thinking” often chuckled at as if it was a ‘lucid dream’ that has no chance of being implemented at all.

We have agreed in this system of betrayal, a dog eat dog world.

Workers blame the factory management, the factory management blames the corporative policies being extremely tight forcing them to give low wages while requiring extended hours of work to fulfill the deadline to deliver the production. Corporations blame the consumer as not being willing to ‘pay extra’ to be able to create proper working conditions for people. These are all excuses we throw at each other like a ball set on fire to not create jobs and living conditions that can be best for all equally. This is because it is not at the best interest of those that require the perpetual existence of people that are bound to living in extreme poverty and being willing to do ‘anything they can’ to get a job and get to survive in this world.

My question is: would you like to live a life like this? No, I’m sure you don’t – yet millions of adults, youngsters and children are part of this current crime against life that is slavery – and this is all because of profit created out of a world that is taught to consume as a ‘lifestyle.’

This is all part of the data conveyed in the documentary Santa’s workshop created by Lotta Ekelund and Kristina Bjurling from Sweden, which is one of the main countries that have such toy factories running with no proper regulations in China.

None of this will exist in an Equal Money System wherein we are beginning already to become part of the solution within stopping ourselves from participating in the unnecessary consumption of products that serve no other purpose than creating profit in someone’s greedy pocket in exchange for something that isn’t indispensable to live.

The condition of ‘slavery’ in this world will not cease to exist until we all agree that we must stop the current functioning of the world which is based on buying-selling and earning ‘money’ – which is also created at will – from such transaction which benefits only a few.

We all must wake up from this slumber wherein nightmares are the day to day living condition of millions of human beings in this world that are living in such extreme poverty conditions that force them to survive through menial jobs, while others are bound to be starving to death.

Support and inform yourself about the solution and plan of action we are presenting here as the way to create a dignified living for all human beings. Become part of the voices that speak up for a world that is fair, a world wherein Equality as Life will mark the end of all our current disregard and carelessness for those that do suffer from having to survive in a constant hell wishing and hoping for it all to end for them someday.

Who Builds Your Toys? Buy your Holy-Daze

Psychology is part of the mental health industry, which means that, just as anything else in this reality, we have made of our understanding of the mind another business that is requiring human subjects with apparently ‘incurable’ traits accepted as ‘human nature’ that must be periodically ‘treated’ in a continuous attempt to stop such conditions.

Within its current conformation, psychology has failed to support the human being to take self responsibility for any ‘mental disorder’ that must be realized as self-created; instead it is taken as a subject of study to create more theories wherein all the aspects and context of what generates such ‘disorder’ is accepted as ‘real’ and ‘unchangeable.’ This means accepting thoughts, emotions, feelings, desires, wants as ‘who we are’ which are the building blocks of any ‘mental dysfunction.’ That’s how psychologists have secured a constant clientele because of us human beings deeming ourselves as ‘flawed’ and requiring ‘professional support’ to correct it – that is, those who can afford it.

Instead of psychology being a separate study that relatively few take on as a profession to make money, it will be part of the integral education and understanding of what it is that we are creating ourselves as in relation to our mind. Therefore psychologists will cease to exist within the context they do now, as everyone is able to take self-responsibility for their own experiences through a process of investigating how we created such experience in full detail, rather than trying to find ways to ‘cope with it’ in our day to day living.

Psychology enforces the victimization of the human as being ‘incapable’ of supporting themselves while requiring people with such credentials to give you some ‘support’ for it. Abdication of Self Responsibility has been a constant factor in our reality, which is how the concept of ‘god’ was created in the first place – therefore we realize that there is no cure other than supporting and directing ourselves in ways that have never existed before which is:  living as equals = working, living, thinking and doing that which is best for all.

This is part of what we are walking as Desteni and the Desteni I Process wherein we are supporting ourselves and each other to become our own ‘psychologists’ within the basic principle of getting to know ourselves. These same tools will become part of the basic human education. Equal understanding and application = best for all outcome.

We begin with taking self responsibility as our mind and walking a process of Self-Forgiveness in Self Honesty to give ourselves a blank slate to script ourselves to live in effective ways. We realize we don’t require any form of medication but self-direction and self will to correct our actions, thoughts, and spoken words in every moment. Within this we no longer accept ‘human nature’/ human behavior as something ‘unchangeable’ and instead we instate ourselves as the creators and directors of our reality.

Once we step outside of our personal troubles, we start seeing the greater picture where we see a reality that requires physical solutions to stop physical suffering – our ‘problems’ are then put into perspective once that we become aware of the reality we have neglected while being caught up in the mindwebs of our experiences.

In the Equal Money System the key is Self-Support in Self Honesty to live in effective ways to coexist in harmony. That’s in essence what psychology will become as part of the support necessary to adjust ourselves to an Equality System. This implies stopping all forms of inner conflict to focus on doing and directing our reality to a best-for-all outcome – which would imply then actually living and stopping the dwelling inside our minds within the belief that ‘there is something wrong with us.’

Specific support and assistance will be provided for anyone experiencing and/or presenting specific cases of mental instability that may lead them to harm themselves or others. This is the necessary rehabilitation that each person will have to take on as part of their self-responsibility within an Equality System. Each case will be walked  to the point where we can make sure that the person is able to coexist effectively in society.  A buddy-system will be available so that we can all check upon each others’ application and support whenever it is necessary. This way we won’t be requiring to ‘go to the psychologist’ every time that we are facing some difficulty in our inner experience. We will become a network of self-support as we will all understand and live by the same principles = equality in action.

Money won’t be a cause of inner conflict that is created out of lack or fear of loss which certainly affects our stability within everything we do. We will have enough time and supportive networks to assist people to support themselves with the tools to walk the process of self correction. This will be much simpler than it is now because there will be no pressure over ‘time = money,’ and there will be no need to fear losing relationships that existed only as financial pillars or any other form of current limitation because each one will be supported to live. There will be plenty of time to support ourselves wherein self expression will be a key point to transcend our past limitations that stood as the reflection of a system of abuse and limitation.

For now, we can only expose psychology for the false solution it has been in this reality in spite of the multiple theories and ideas that have served only to glorify people’s egos and pockets, without having any relevant or consistent effect to generate solutions for the human mind. There is no quick fix to this either, we have to literally program ourselves into being humans that consider each other as equals and exist in ways that are supportive for all beings in this world – and we are already walking the main task that has been disregarded all this time.

Is Psychology Capitalism – or Capitalism psychology ? 

http://theatomdecides.blogspot.com/2011/09/is-psychology-capitalism-or-capitalism.html

http://www.desteniiprocess.com

The fallacy of the current value system that we’ve imposed on to everything in this world – including ourselves- has unfortunately tainted the aspects that must be covered as part of the physical aspect of every human being’s life. Sex is part of this and it should be equally regarded to the basic physical functions like eating, shitting and breathing. When humanity began creating/ generating some secrecy around sexuality, an entire industry based on selling the ultimate taboo was set in motion, specifically targeting the inherent necessity to fulfill this need and transforming sex into a lucrative machine feeding off people’s desires = we ended up becoming part of the business as well, not only through buying into such ideals but through judging/ valuing ourselves as part of the same assets to trade.

We’re constantly being shown images of how we must look, therefore what we need to buy in order to obtain the ultimate sense of ‘belonging’ in this world to eventually engage in relationships – because that’s in essence the ultimate purpose of the entire image-based mechanism of this society. This makes it almost inevitable to get sucked into the same capitalist game of buying our confidence to the best dealer that ‘suits our needs,’ which by the way are not real but only created for the sake of getting us to buy an entire personality as the image and idea of ourselves which can be for sale to others as something appealing and fuckable. (Desirable)

Due to making of sex just another industry, we’ve integrated the monetary principle as the qualification of ‘who we are,’ which can get to affect someone deep enough to allow them to feel inadequate when it comes to engaging in sexual activities. The point that’s often missed is that regular sexual activity has nothing to do with how much money you have in your pocket, nor with any of the images we’re usually fed through ads, media or any religious dogma that could condemn sexuality, not realizing it is part of the basic requirements within the physical human nature.

Sex must be equated to an organic function rather than any other game of selling each other to the best bidder and satisfying one’s ego through ideas of possessing each other within a sexual encounter.

Sex begins with Self

Within this system, we’re not taught how to become aware of our physical body from the physical aspect of it as a form of developing an early awareness/ education on sexuality. Instead more taboos and veils are placed upon sex, disregarding the fact that it does determine a very important aspect in every human’s living experience. We must reform the educational system to consider integrating sexuality as essential to generate an integral human that is well aware of the basic living-functionalities and how to direct them in absolute self responsibility. Since this doesn’t exist, we’re facing the consequences with major over population and high rates of teenage pregnancy, as well as rapes and any other form of acts that are directly linked to the deficiency in teaching and sharing what sex is about and how it must be directed within our reality.

Sexuality and its exploration shouldn’t be married to the ideals projected as the clichés of ‘perfect relationships’ or ‘marriage,’ which are the usual scenarios wherein people consider that  responsibility and ‘serious engagement’ in sexual activities can only exist. What happens then is that kids/ teens get absolutely no support in terms of how to deal with the curiosity for sexual exploration, without having established within themselves the basic realization of what it entails to engage in a sexual relationship in the first place. There is no information or support in the educational systems that explain how to deal with the experiences that go emerging as the emotional body begins to develop, making of puberty and early adolescence an even more difficult phase in life wherein we can all remember having gone-through bitter phases and disillusions without making any ‘progress’ within it.

This can be prevented from here on if we start implementing sexual education as part of any curriculum in schools, developing ways for each individual to integrate sexuality as part of the basic understanding of the current physical requirements that must be taken into account when living in this world.

In Security

Sex has become an ‘added value’ to ourselves within this business we’ve made out of life. We’ve tacitly agreed that sex is about how you look, how many women/ men you’re able to lure to your bed and how many partners you accumulate as trophies that remind you of all the battles you’ve ‘won.’ We’ve made of it just another ‘win & lose’ situation where there are apparently some more ‘suitable’ to ‘perform’ better than others, based on the ideal that has been imprinted and entirely created by those that provide the necessary guise/gown/gadgets for the ‘well suited’ personality that is set as the ‘appealing model,’ which will generate buyers of such image that supposedly provides them with the sensational experience of embodying the ideal of ‘perfect lover.’

The fact that sex has nothing to do with a personality – or clothes for that matter as one has to take them all off anyways– reveals how we have agreed upon putting up a show for the sake of continuing our image-based society where the most basic and physical considerations of what sexuality should be are disregarded, and often spoiled over mental elations that precede the actual physical encounter of one being engaging in sexual activities with another.

Due to having everyone focusing on the image, feelings/ emotions, the basic aspects that should be considered are rarely even known. The entire idea of ‘fulfilling’ yourself with a sexual partner or just becoming ‘sexually active’ has become one of the standards that teenagers take on in terms of beginning to value and place worth around people according to how ‘successful’ their sex life is. Though, there is no guidance or support provided to clearly express how such steps are walked in someone’s life. This is related to how it often is a matter of peer pressure generated by the same constant impulse of media/ society wherein males and females will go seeking to engage in sexual relationships just to become the ‘new adults’ that are apparently ‘mature enough’ to conduct themselves through sex, wherein they should consider a lot more than ‘what clothes to wear to lure someone into bed,’ such as the actual physical vulnerability that is opened up whenever we share ourselves in such a tangible way with another human being.

We have become factories that produce the same prototypes which are ‘consumable’ and people who don’t see themselves fitting into such models will develop this sense of being ‘out of the game,’ while struggling with their own ‘sexual instincts’ arising and having no one to be able to talk to about it, nor anyone to ‘lure into sex’ as they see themselves as not ‘good enough’ to even step in the line to engage in sexual activities with others. All of this is created as a comparison point to the ‘models’ that we’ve been brainwashed to accept as ‘how it all must be.’ From this frustration, self hatred or any other form of self-diminishing may escalate into further isolation, depression and eventually evolving into other forms of anger/ hatred that could drive the being to have sex through forceful ways such as rape or any other violent forms to satisfy such physical need.

There is no doubt  that we’re living in the Hollywood ideals of what sexuality should be, and within this we’ve blinded ourselves into believing that sex is always this perfect and flawless experience wherein both parties are absolutely satisfied and live a life of plenitude and ‘love’ as the sticky substance that keeps the entire story rolling until the movie ends. It has always been a movie, it is like someone’s idea of what reality should be – yet for some odd reason, we have allowed ourselves to want to compare to such ‘perfect’ scenarios where partners step into the most ‘astounding’ sexual experience.

‘Failure to ‘meet the expectations’’ – which were based on the same idealism portrayed in movies – generates dissatisfaction because we have come to believe that such instant gratification happens in the first sexual encounter, which is simply not true. Yet we take it as something personal wherein one believes that ‘there is something wrong with us’ and that we are apparently incapable of experimenting and engaging in proper relationships. Sexuality, just as any other field of human development, is something that must be practiced and established at an individual level first as self-acceptance and general comfort in a physical and mental level in order to later explore relationships for effective physical support to satisfy one’s sexual requirements. This world is in reverse hence we have to walk through the actual practice, necessary education and communication in order to make the process of getting to such self-enjoyment a process that is walked in a comfortable and physically referenced way.

We evaluate ourselves to being either suitable or not comparing ourselves to the socially accepted standards to see ‘where we stand.’ In this, we accept all forms of limitation as real when it’s nothing but judgment that should have no place in our physical expression. According to these ludicrous settings, we create our own self-value = how we value ourselves in the ‘invisible market’ that is underlying within the usual relationships in this world.

Let’s remember that this reality has two great engines: sex and money – sexual insecurity is derived from the belief of not fulfilling the ‘ideals’ required to be part of the ‘sex stock market’ where all partners apparently present similar criteria as ‘objects of desire.’ There are no ‘real values’ considered such as the physical self-acceptance and comfort in one’s skin to be expressive at a physical level with another, which has nothing to do with portraying oneself in a particular way to be liked/ accepted. It is about self acceptance and self value that each individual should establish first within themselves.

We then believe we’re not ‘good enough’ to develop proper relationships, just because we aren’t as ‘perfect’ as the photoshopped picture on the cover of a magazine where a man and a woman are apparently enjoying themselves in a nice set to make believe that they’re having a great time. We end up chewing the fact that such state of being actually exists without realizing that what the creators of such picture really want from you. Nothing like fabricated images to make you spend money and ‘hopefully’ get to be like the people smiling back at you.

With thinking processes like this, we can accept that we’ve been brainwashed wherein we believe that the better picture we present ourselves as = the more confidence we experience as ‘who we are,’ which is then linked to the inevitable association of sexual performance and money, which is the energy that enables everything to move.

Both partners are ultimately seeking to be equally recognized, valued and considered for the effort that they’ve put into image. Nothing else but money that cover the entire process of having any inner discomfort and insecurity toward any perceived ‘lack of fulfillment’ of  ideas and expectations within relationships.

The underlying factor within all of this is how we have accepted and allowed ourselves to place value and worth to an image that represents money/ power/ wealth in itself. Within this, we have become our own point of deception whenever we accept and allow ourselves to be only driven by looks and money while not considering how we are actually experiencing ourselves with regards to exploring sexuality as well as our points to work-with in terms of insecurities, judgments, fears, limitations. All of that must be looked-at and corrected to eventually engage in supportive relationships to explore and establish sexuality as part of our day-to-day living.

In an Equal Money System, there will be no more industries that seek to promote such ideas of the human as a product that can be sold to others as a ‘suitable partner.’ We will be out of the entire survival system wherein social reputation or ‘wealth’ will not be a determining factor upon someone as props and preferences in order to establish physical relationships in any way whatsoever. We will have enough time to educate and develop ourselves as self-sufficient individuals first while establishing our own process of discovering sexuality and integrating it as part of our living reality just as anything else that we participate in. Through this and the general measures that will be implemented in terms of sexual education, we can estimate that sexual exploration will be possible without any surreptitious influences that are usually aiming at engaging people into a particular lifestyle portraying an ‘ideal’ of having a successful sex life. There will be no need to put up a show to be ‘chosen’ as a partner due to convenient financial traits.

It’s time to meet reality beyond a system of values where sexuality will simply be part of the physical activity taken on within relationships, developing effective physical support to be able to focus on that which will be required to work upon for the general correction and betterment of everyone’s lives in this reality. Sex must be a gift that we give to each other just as anything else that will be equally given and received according to the principles of equality as life, where the physical is what matters.
