Money
Here is a two part article questioning the exploitation, expansion and domination of our oppressive colonial model of existence. When the overriding goal is to extract more wealth than you put in, you are effectively creating scarcity and greed while ignoring the environmental and life sustaining repercussions of an infinite expansion. Wealth lies in relation, spirituality and sharing not in proliferation and the exploitation of ideas, people and natural resources. Our system makes the audacious presumption that we don't already have everything we need to live a full, contented and enlightened existence. Many of the world's most impoverished people live with smiles stemming from the understanding that they need not concern themselves with material gain and shortsighted exploitation.
Part 1
Part 2
“It is interesting to consider that "Wall Street" takes its name from the original barrier built by Dutch settlers to keep out Native Americans, whose primary form of exchange was the gift, rather than the market. We have maintained that wall ever since.” -DP
I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells. I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Integrity, of Wisdom and of Peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One.
Namaste
