Comtemplating Capitalism


I would Transform Capitalism. Inspire and engage others to be part of a big bold solution to myriad systemic problems at macro and microlevel generated by unexamined foundation of capitalism
...modern financial system based on debt-money, usury, fractional reserve banking, centralized commercial bank generated credit instead of 100% debt-free decentralized publicly issued money.

Changing the ("capital" in capitalism) system requires three things.....

1) Shifting our own individual perception of what money is and its proper function in the economy and society, separating means of production (tangible capital) from currency (abstract capital that is a medium of exchange and circulation). The first can be privately owned, but currency itself as public agreement must be issued 100% debt-free by the people (not a few private banks centrally controlled).

2) understanding the basic sources of the problem inherent  in our current system and educating others by sharing information; issueing fiat money privately as compound-interest bearing debt via fractional reserve banking is mathematically unsustainable and rationally indefensible

3) Taking Small inspired actions. Simultaneous actions would be taken by many spontaneously growing social networks and grassroot groups. Once our inner perception shifts outer reality will shift effortlessley through a peaceful transformation. A dancing revolution where the "capital' is us, and we the people design it collectively.

I invite you to explore, think and discover it for yourself....and be part of a bold public awareness and education project so we can collectively shift the evolutionary path of the planet and human civilization for the benefit and welfare of all beings.  A sustainable currency system is essential now to ensure survival of all people and restoring ecological balance in the planet.

Come and Join my Conscious Capitalism Discussion. Be the fearless change.

Envision abundant debt-free Trust Money that keeps circulating love, gratitude, gift of human labor and joyful service.

In order to create a reality, YOU must see it.

In the West you have been struggling for many years with the problem of evil. But in the light of non-duality, there is not any problem.  You need both right and left to have a branch. Do not take sides, if you take sides, you are trying to eliminate half of reality, which is mpossible. For many years, the United States has been trying to describe the Soviet Union as the evil side. Some Americans even have the illusion they can survive alone, without the other half. If we look at America very deeply, we see the Soviet Union. And if we look deeply at the Soviet union, we see America. If we look deeply at the rose, we see the garbage; if we look deeply at the garbage, we see the rose. In this international situation, each side is pretending to be the rose, and calling the other side garbage.

Survival means the survival of human kind as a whole, not just a part of it. If the South cannot survive, then the North is going to crumble. If countries of Third World cannot pay their debts, you are going to suffer here in the North. If you do not take care of the Third World, your well-being is not going to last, and you will not be able to continue living in the way you have been much longer. It is leaping out at us already. You cannot leave the job to the governments or the political scientists alone. You have to do it yourself.   My new blog

         I'm 100% in agreement and well-informed on the topic via G. Edward Griffin, Eustace Mullins, Catherine Austin Fitts and about 25 years studying the topic.  We have a debt-based currency system rather than a wealth-based currency system.  One is death, the other is life.  One is tied to servitude, the other to nature and relationships.

         I love the vibe of what you're putting out.  How do you see us realistically and invitationally creating the move to a new reality, i.e. reawakening the eroticism of the marketplace, of exchange based in relationship, nature and creativity without the parasitic entities such as the Fed? 

          As you know, the whole system is DESIGNED for economic collapse and I'm sure that the secret government has that well-anticipated.  In June we go to the National I.D. card.  Check out my blog post from y' day and Charles Rangel's bill he's proposing to Congress. 

         I am presently working on a workshop that powerfully awakens people to the wealth already present and dormant in their life, relationships, knowledge, connections - and the cultural operating system to move away from and obedience/punishment, success/failure paradigm back to an invitational, adventuring, creative and individually-sovereign paradigm that promotes retribalization through true individuation and the rediscovery of inner authority.
