RELATIONS BETWEEN EXTERNAL STIMULI

AND EMOTIONAL RESPONSES IN THE FIELD


OF MONEY

Linn Yun Ying


Stability of us and systems
The existence and accumulation of causes whose real
proportional effect is excluded are more likely to prevail
above a certain limit, and, to push the limits of these
effects still higher, the more stable and motionless is the
whole system that surrounds the occurrence
Numerous influences and circumstances evoke
corresponding sensory reactions only when our whole
being is aroused, perhaps from a totally different angle
An impulse is needed to kick off a change
There must first be an impulse that causes the internal
elements to dash into one another in order for us to
become aware of their real strength through their newly
discovered relations or through the difference of relations
to all other elements

barriers
Within the money economy, that turbulence in the system of
life that incites the awareness of differences and
thresholds is particularly widespread and lively.
The consolidation of relationships that prevents the
consequences of this growing inducement from taking
effect in the reactions of consciousness is constantly
interrupted by being based upon money.
Money, however, lacking any quality and lacking any
relation to a qualitatively determined personality as
such, moves from one personality to the other without
any internal resistance, so that the relations and
situations that pertain to it can easily and adequately adjust
to any change.
Impact of money on our lives
The fact that money can be accumulated, which reflects
the mere quantitative character most clearly, means that it
will most frequently and distinctly make itself felt on
the determinate content of life.
For it testifies not only that the importance of more money
lies in a proportional multiple of the importance of less
money, but that this differential importance represents an
abrupt changedespite the purely quantitative change in
its basisin qualitatively new, indeed opposite, results.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PERSONAL UNITY OF
THE OWNER
Significance of money
Every sum of money has a different qualitative
significance if it belongs to a number of people rather than
to one person. The unit of the personality is thus the
correlate or the pre-condition for all qualitative differences
of possessions and their importance

Unity of money based on personal unity of owner
Money, whose importance as a value rests on its quantity,
appears as many single quantities standing side by side,
so that every sum, in order to operate as a unity, requires
an extraneous principle which forces the partial
quantities into a relationship and interaction, that is,
into a unity.
The personal unity of the owner affects money and
confers upon its total quantity the possibility of realizing
more or less of it in its qualitative importance.
Money is a means to an end and it relies on a person to
use the money

units
Yet as the value of a landed estate they are the unified
symbol, expression or equivalent of the amount of its
value and not at all a mere agglomeration of single-value
units.
The quantity of money is realized in relation to the unity of
a person as a quality and its extensiveness is realized as
intensitya process that could not be achieved by the
mere summation of its constituent parts
