Show Me The Money

[judge45]

The universe (you) always seeks balance, but out of the three big life requirements (health, wealth, happiness) money is the only one that carries the most emotional baggage because it is such a source of global obsession, therefore it throws most people out of balance.

How many people do you know who honestly enjoy working 50 hours a week to get money to service debt??

How many people do you know who would not take a million dollars if you offered it?

If we were all born with a billion dollar trust fund that we got when we turned 21, money would cease to be such a form of control.

But because the world is founded on some folks wishing control over others, the easiest way to control them is with money.

I’m going off on a tangent here so hold on………..

In the past, when a government treated the peasants badly, the peasants had a revolution.

So the powers in charge knew they had to invent a way to control the peasants. Money already existed, so ‘they’ decided to give the peasants the illusion of wealth, so they could feel better about their lot in life and take the focus of the object misery they were forced to believe they had to endure.

There also had to be a way to further separate them so they felt fearful of each other.

How did they do that??

Television

Television allowed the negativity of the media to be beamed into your home to frighten you.

Just look at the most popular shows on TV. Violent shocking crime shows and dim witted comedies.

As a side note, did you know that out of the 100 million TV viewers in the USA, only 13,000 people are polled to tell the rest what they should watch? It’s true just dig around on the Nielsen Rating website.

Anyway, where was I??? Oh yeah, controlling the peasants.

To make everyone feel like they are happy, you give them shiny new things.

But the people can’t afford enough shiny new things to make them believe their truly happy, so how do we do it??

Debt.

Debt is the absolute best form of control there is, even better than giving people money, because debt actually makes you think you have worth, when you don’t have anything except a form of slavery.

When I cancelled all my credit cards, for the longest time, I felt unworthy because I didn’t have a Visa like everyone else.

That’s the level of brainwashing.

So the powers at be, say “To stop the peasants rising up and overthrowing us every 5 minutes, we need to trick them into thinking they’re happy, without giving them anything. In fact we need to deceive them and enslave them further.

It took many, many years to perfect this, but the system we have now is the debt system of slavery, where you feel you must have stuff you don’t need, to make yourself feel good, brought with money you don’t have to impress people you either fear of don’t like.

Pretty effective system right?

Now if I could just come up with the right lotto numbers

Sure it sounds like one big conspiracy theory and maybe it is. I don’t have any answers, it’s different for everyone, but I do know that acceptance is not compulsory.

You don’t have to accept your current financial situation. When you accept something you say to yourself "This is real"

If you decided you were rich on the inside, from what I’ve seen and learned, it won’t be long before you’re rich on the outside.

All you have to do is decide to think a certain way, a different way and put a little trust in your ability to create your reality.

“You’ve just got to let it all go, fear, doubt, disbelief……….free your mind” Morpheous to Neo/ The Matrix

Just my 10 cents……..sorry no refunds

May the Source Be with You….Always.

PS I've read all the books, seen all the movies, written all the words and spread the 'faith' as much as I can whenever I can.

I have a wonderful wife, wonderful kids and live in a place that is relatively free and enjoyable, but there has always been one area of my life that is lacking....money.

So by sharing here at this forum, it helps me to get a better understanding everyday. Thanks to everyone, Steve and Erin

Money: why say it in 100 words when Ayn Rand can say it in a couple thousand?
"Francisco's Money Speech" by Ayn Rand -- Capitalism Magazine

Television: so you're saying the government created television as a method of mass thought control? I'm sorry Jeff but your conspiracy theory has no basis in reality. You probably already know that the government did not create the television, does not control the programming, and that the USA existed for about 175 years before the television was invented. Somehow I think you'll respond and try to link the civil war with the lack of television. HOW you're going to do it is the only question...let's see...

Debt Slavery: Each of us is free to choose how to live our lives. I don't recall ever having received a notice from the government about my lack of credit card debt -- and I haven't carried a balance in 10 years. Never had a car loan either. Somehow, the police haven't shown up at my door yet. Hmmm...maybe I'm just lucky?

What you believe and I believe are different.

Go figure.

In my subjective reality, you're not real and are only an extension of my mind, therefore it would be silly for me to argue with myself.

How many people do you know who would not take a million dollars if you offered it?

If we were all born with a billion dollar trust fund that we got when we turned 21, money would cease to be such a form of control.

In germany in 1923 everyone got millions and then billions, but they were not happy. Why weren't they happy?
The money had no value.

If someone offered me to give everyone a million, I wouldn't take the money, because that makes the money I receive worthless.

In my subjective reality, you're not real and are only an extension of my mind, therefore it would be silly for me to argue with myself.

Wrong, it isn't silly to argue with yourself when you belief in subjective reality.
Arguing with yourself is the only way to get better opinions when there is no one else to talk with.

And if you buy into the subjective reality modell you should certainly think that the goverment isn't trying to screw you.
Intenting that other people do harm to you is stupid.

Judge, I suggest you read this article: Why People Believe Money is the Root of all Evil. We all have free will. Nobody forces people to get into debt and allow media to condition them. This is freedom of thought that's given up by choice. There's a big difference between forceful slavery and wage slavery. In the former you are a slave at gunpoint, and in the latter you are a slave in your mind and can free yourself at any time.

Seems to me we're all at the perfect place to fulfill our wildest dreams, and that INCLUDES making however much money you deem important. I am feeling the energy, bigtime. Keep expressing your intentions to the Universe. We'll just see how far this million-dollar experiment takes us. I'll bet pretty damn far!
--good luck....brad
