The World After Money
Oct 8, 2009

Don't Forget to Dream My main "Earth Life" interest is ending the monetary system. I've written some short essays on this subject and collected some ideas from others. It's my judgment that when we make the switch from a monetary based society to a resource based society 90% of the negative aspects of our lives will disappear. Other troubles, like those that we have as a result of monetary based education and religious teachings, would fade away with the new education system (whatever form it takes). I really don't have a complete list of the things that would "go away" in my head right now. I just thought of this a minute ago and decided to start writing. I'm really hoping that people will add things as they think of them. But I'll start a list and just see where it goes...

I could keep going with that all day. What I find when I start to think about this is it's hard to come up with a problem that isn't rooted in the monetary system - it's laws and regulations. Even the idea of lack is due to the monetary system. Like I've mentioned before the first step toward something different is the idea of something different. Too many people stop at, "I don't see how that would work", and, with them, that's as far as it goes. The key word in the previous statement is "see". What is seeing? Can people not see if they want to see? We can see anything we want, any time we want. We just have to start. If people want to see an end to the horrid nonsense in the world they have to put forth some effort. This effort I refer to, when compared to the effort people put into surviving the monetary system, is minuscule. The reality of the development, or manifestation, of the world around us is this: It all started inside our heads. Nothing, out there, got there without someone first "seeing it". The world of things is the tangible result of peoples visionary efforts. How hard is it to daydream? Piece of cake right? What if we all daydreamed the same dream? How long before the tangible result appeared - out there? I've said that we can stop all the governments of the world whenever we decide we've had enough simply by withdrawing our cooperation. Why don't we do it? Two reasons are obvious 1) we don't believe it 2) we're scared. Both reasons are a direct result of the monetary system. So what do we do? What can anybody do, right now, regardless of their lack of belief and fear? Making our Daydreams work for us Let's take a typical daydream involving anyone's imagined vacation get away. Where are we? Let's pretend we're on a cruise. Let's simply change a few things about how got there and how we're traveling. Let's pretend we're there because people love building big ships (and they do). They design big ships because that's there vision (they enjoy it). In the resource based economy they'd get together with people who design clean power systems (Free Energy), scientist working with new carbon based materials used in transportation, cooks, pilots etc. who are on the ship because they enjoy the ocean. You are there as part of the resource based society you now live in. Your vacations are no longer limited to a few weeks a year because through the intelligent use of technology people have a lot of free time. You didn't pay for the cruise because there is nothing to pay for or pay with. You are there because you're a human being and part of the world society. You don't need a passport or visa and no one will stop you at customs. You can get off where you like and have a place to stay for as long as you like in any part of the world you wish to explore. It's not necessary to believe this for it to have a profound effect on the world. If we shift our daydreams from a monetary based world to a resource based world it will produce a very helpful vision. It is this vision that will change the world. There are a lot of people doing this and all that's needed is the desire for a sane and enjoyable life. Check out the world shift network and explore some ideas for living Outside The Monetary Box. When you have ideas go ahead and post them here. If you know places where people are doing good and doing things differently share them. People need these visions. Don't forget to dream....
