Have you Ever been Swept Off Your Feet?

In both cases – whether the bubble was inflated with positive or negative energy – the participants in the bubble are being swept away further and further away from actual physical reality and start to see everything either ‘extremely negatively’ or ‘extremely positively’ – neither experience is grounded in reality – because the physical is neither positive or negative – it just is what it is.

And Then You Crash – Meconomics

In this little series, we’ve been investigating the phenomenon of inflation, how we in our daily lives participate in ‘inflating our reality’ and so, how we are on a personal level participating in the same principles/dynamics that we see playing out on a bigger scale when it comes to inflation, speculative bubbles and financial market crashes.

Welcoming New Life with Living Income Guaranteed

Comfort, security and nurturing are all things we wish are present when a baby comes into this world. Yet, these conditions are not a reality for many babies, as parents themselves like these things in their lives. In Pietermaritzburg, the capital of KwaZulu Natal province in South Africa, 3 to 5 babies are…

Humanity Washed Ashore

This was an excerpt of just one of the stories about the boy. Over the last few days, dozens have been written and published on various major news sites. What is more striking than the content of the posts, is the comments that are left on these articles. What is humanity’s response to such images, to such news?

Voting Fun – What does it Feel Like to Have a Say?

Now – before such increased direct political participation is a reality – let’s do a little test to see what it feels like. So – here are some mock-questions where you’re asked to give your input. Imagine that this relates to your direct reality (eg. your town) – and your answer has a weight that influences the outcome of the decision. Of course, in reality…

Day 25: The Mockery of Democracy

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that democracy exists

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to believe that a political system is in place where elected politicians represent and work for within the best interest of the population

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the world is governed within a system of plutocracy (rule by the wealthy for the wealthy)

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that presidents and leaders are not brought forth into their position through true democratic processes – but are selectively chosen by the wealthy as their candidate – where the candidate has shown promise to serve and maintain the interest of the wealthy –and thus the wealthy will sponsor and fund their candidate’s campaign and place him/her in a position of power

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that money rules

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself that no democracy and sovereignty can exist when countries are indebted over their heads to other countries and private entities – and where the latter will dictate to the debtor what must be done to remain in the creditor’s grace

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see that there can be no political freedom within the current state of the world due to the current world economic system – as all decisions are based on money and one can only do so much if there is only so much money available and one is in massive debt

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that there is only power where there is money

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that a leader can only do as much as he is being supported to do financially by other parties – where these parties are the wealthy who will only support their leader if the leader supports their interest

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that at this stage it does not matter who gets elected during a political election – as the elected can only carry out policies if he has money and this money comes from the wealthy – and thus the cash flow from the wealthy will actually determine the course of a nation

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that although symbolic leaders change – those who actually govern do not change – as all they ever do is make sure that they do not lose their wealth and find ways to accumulate more wealth  – and thus no real change ever comes about

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the leaders within this world and their cronies are all interlinked with the corporatocracy – as they all in some way or another have links with major corporations and will rule and run their politics in the benefit of the corporatocracy

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that the world isn’t run by politicians but by ruthless businessmen

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that we are currently not all “free citizens” with a “chosen leader” who will direct a society to what is Best for All – but where we are all employees to a symbolic leader who in fact works for the corporate elite and that we are freedom is only an illusion which is maintained so we won’t see what is going on and complacently remain in our position of slaves

I commit myself to expose the political criminalities that take place within the world

I commit myself to show that the current political system is works more like a criminal syndicate than a system which support the people for the sake of the people

I commit myself to expose that we do not have and never have had a true democracy – and that the first step towards true participation and representation of the whole is the Equal Money System

I commit myself to expose the money flow which dictates who gets to be a leader and who doesn’t and how leaders will only act in a way which benefits the wealthy

I commit myself to expose that we are not living in a democracy but in a plutocracy/corporatocracy – where only money counts and money votes

I commit myself expose how no nation, no being is in fact sovereign as all are slaves to the money system and have no actual freedom whatsoever

I commit myself to show that we as the human race have in no way evolved – we’ve only gotten better at justifying our behaviour and come up with clever, sophisticated ways to keep doing what we’ve always been doing while maintaining the illusion of “evolution” and “freedom”

I commit myself to an Equal Money System – the only system where all will in fact be FREE

Day 13: Economists are Evil

The following is an extract from John Perkins’ book Hoowinked:

“The human rights group Amnesty International warned in May 2009 that the worldwide economic decline was leading to greater repression across the globe, concluding that “we are sitting on a powder keg of inequality, injustice and insecurity, and it is about to explode.” The Global Humanitarian Forum reported that global warming causes more than 300,000 deaths each year. We ignored all these signs, and countless others.

We watched funding dry up for environmental protection programs; for those nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) dedicated to improving social and living conditions for the poor, the young, the old, and the vulnerable; and for projects dedicated to monitoring and safeguarding the conditions on our planet that make life as we know it possible. We eschewed the changes that would benefit our children and their children. Instead, we complained about rising gasoline prices and taxes, we bought Hummers and iPods, and we supported policies that funded political campaigns and lined the pockets of CEOs.

We deceived ourselves into believing in the efficacy of a system where less than 5 percent of the world’s population lives in the United States but consumes more than 25 percent of the world’s resources while nearly half the world’s population struggles to survive at or below the poverty level. Where nearly 200 million children serve as child laborers, de facto slaves, working under inhumane conditions. Where poor countries pay $1.30 servicing foreign debt for every $1.00 they receive in foreign aid. And where one continent, Africa, expends four times more on debt payments than on health care.

We read statistics like these, glanced around at each other, shrugged, and tried to convince ourselves that “our system may not be perfect, but it’s the best there is.”

We who live in a society that can fly people to the moon, immunize against smallpox, clone sheep, and transmit entire books instantaneously through the Internet continually neglected to ask the questions that would connect the dots:

If 5 percent of the world’s population consumes 25 percent of the resources, the transference of this same economic model to China, India, Africa, and Latin America would require … what?
If our system is dependent on turning countless millions of children into financial slaves, what does the future hold for our children?

If the industrialized world can feed its appetite for cheap petroleum only by keeping other countries under its thumb and subjecting them to debts they can never repay, our future prosperity and lifestyles will inevitably do what in the future?

We avoided answering these questions because they lead to one inevitable conclusion: Our present system is a failure. We have not wanted to hear that to provide the other 95 percent of the world’s population with the same resources we use would require at least another five planets just like ours, except without people. That continuing to abuse the children of other nations will create a world for our children that is torn by ever-increasing violence. That burdening others with debts too huge to be repaid will ultimately destroy our economy as well as theirs.

We have not wanted to hear that returning to “normal” is simply not an option.”



I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have created an unsustainable economic system of greed which cannot be sustained – as the numbers show

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have created an economic system of greed where some earn 400 times more than others – for no other reason then those few being in a position of being able to generate more money

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have created an economic system of greed where human beings’ value is measured through the amount of money they have and can make – where if one is not in a position of having and making money they are exiled from the game and left to fend for their own in a system which will only support those with money

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have created an economic system of abuse where billions of people go to work every day at a wage that barely sustains them and their families so that a few can benefit from cheaper goods to satisfy their consumer compulsions

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have created an economic system of destruction which was designed out of proportion of what the Earth can physically, practically sustain – forcing a majority to live in pain and suffering in order for a few to experience an illusionary heaven made up of money

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to have see the faulty mathematics behind our current economic systems and its inevitable demise – which will fall upon us ALL

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that such a system of abuse can only be sustained for so long before it explodes and collapses

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to try and hold on to a collapsing economic system in the hope that I can still reap the benefits as the few at the expense of the many for just a little longer

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have created a world economic which in no way whatsoever takes into consideration the future generations who still have to live on our planet

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have created a world economic system where a few Big Men rule and only take into consideration their own personal happiness and do not care whether everyone around them starves and suffers including the billions of people still to come into the future – driving Life to extinction on Earth

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to only point out the positive things within our current world economic system and all the apparent “freedom” it provides – without mentioning that this freedom comes at a price and that this price is the suffering of the many for your personal freedom – where millions of children work themselves to death so our consumer society can buy the newest gadget at the lowest price

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that freedom is not freedom when it places people in a position of slave status in order to experience this freedom

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that Foreign Aid which has to be bought at an inflated price is really the exact opposite of Aid as its only use is to further enslave entire nations to the clutches of a few and their psychopathic obsession with money

I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that saying that “this is the best we can do” will just not do it – when we can clearly see that we have the technology and the scientific brains to create a system which will Provide for All

I commit myself to expose the current world economic system of greed for what it is: a system designed by the few for the few at the expense of the majority

I commit myself to expose the true human nature which accepted and allowed such a system to be created and maintained

I commit myself to keep on exposing the atrocities created in the name of economics and infinite growth so as to wake people up from their sleep and engage them to demand and create change

I commit myself to the development of a world economic system which will provide for all equally, no matter what continent one lives on, no matter the age, gender and race

I commit myself to expose the deception of economic system as the scam it is so we can reclaim our true freedom through the establishment of an Equal Money System where all are taken care of unconditionally

I commit myself to the re-education of the human so all can understand how the current world economic system functions and why it is in everyone’s best interest to deconstruct it and re-construct a system of Equality

I commit myself to expose the massive amount of murders happening every day in the name of economic growth and satisfaction of consumption compulsion

I commit myself to expose that the fact that consumption compulsion exists shows that there is inherently something wrong with the standard of living when people need to resort to consumerism as a lifestyle in order to get their shot of happiness for the day

I commit myself to expose that the current world economic system does not in fact improve living standards as it only drives people further away from this physical reality and planet Earth into their own personal mind reality bubbles of personal satisfaction at all costs

I commit myself to an Equal Money System where all may in fact be free!
