Moneyless World - Free World - Priceless World
Wild Nature, outside commercial civilization, runs on gift economy ("freely give, freely receive"). Thus it is balanced.
Commercial civilization runs on thought of credit and debt ("knowledge of good & evil"). Thus it is imbalanced. What nation
can balance its own budget or environment? Gift Economy is Faith, Grace, Love - the core message of every religion. The
proof is inside you: Wild Nature is your True Nature, crucified by commercial civilization.

The greater blessing to
all those living moneyless
in the world without
publicity
Call me Suelo
Suelo
Fruita, Colorado, United
States
I lived totally without
cents since Autumn of
2000 (except for a
couple months in 2001)
until the Spring of 2016,
when I started caring for
my aging parents,
managing their finances.
For 15 years I didn't use
or accept money or
conscious barter - nor
did I take food stamps or
other government dole.
My philosophy has been
to use only what is freely
given or discarded and
what is already present
and already running
(whether or not I
existed). I don't see
money as evil or good:
how can illusion be evil
or good? But I don't see
heroin or meth as evil or
good, either. Which is
more addictive and
debilitating, money or
meth? Attachment to
illusion makes you
illusion, makes you not
real. Attachment to
illusion is called idolatry,
called addiction. I simply
got tired of
acknowledging as real
this most common
world-wide belief called
money! I simply got tired
of being unreal. Money is
one of those intriguing
things that seems real
and functional because 2
or more people believe it
is real & functional!

Something else. Judgmentalism. What in the world with us. We reject Christ's teachings, we reject
the Old Testament. What do we have left to base our judgmentalism on? Our own made up laws?

I liked your line of if all religions followed their own teachings the banksters wouldn't survive. so
true my friend.
however, we put our lives in these peoples hands, let them take all our decisions and believe
everything they say. greed is a part of us, and we let them act upon their greed.
i would like to get your opinion of Jesus being crucified on the cross for man's sin. you mentioned
that it gives people a free ticket to do as they please as Jesus excuses/forgives your sins. Don't you
find this notion, i dont know how to put it, weird?
As a muslim, i know I am accountable for what i do, all my actions will have a reaction in this world
and the hereafter. The only way i can save myself is either by not sinning or if i do sin, then doing
pure repentance. where you are truly sorry for what you do and also you never do it again.

peace be on to you

Ahmed, there is much to learn about Christianity from the Quran. The Quran says we all resurrect
as One Soul. This is the very fundamental of Christianity that "Christians" totally ignore. We all are
crucified as One and we all resurrect as One ("I am crucified with Christ," "raised with Christ"). The
New Testament scripture states this over & over. Since history began, the Good have suffered
unjustly for the sins of the unjust. All Good are One Soul. Yes, there is only One Good, Allah. This is
obvious, all around us, every day. In Christian lingo, all Good is Christ, the Soul of all Humanity,
suffering for the sins of the unjust. Christ is "crucified from the foundation of the world." The
Angels must bow to Adam, the Quran says - bow to the Good Soul of Humanity, incarnate in the
Flesh! Only Satan refuses to bow, because he only sees Flesh. But "Christians" have taken this ever
present Universal Soul, the I Am, and reduced it to a single man in time, rather than the Ever
Present Man (Adam) beyond Time, the Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever. We must bow to no one
but Allah. We must bow to Adam, Adam who suffers wrongly for the unjust. This might be heresy in
both "Islam" and "Christianity," but it is Truth Eternal, & it is Pure Quran, Pure Bible, Pure
Upanishads, as sure as the sun rises and sets.
Peace rebounded upon you
