There is a prevailing view among many that money is only energy, and it's use is the determining factor as to the charge it carries. This obviously carries some truth, what is left out is that every dollar, pound, euro, yuan, rupee, or ruble has a story, they carry their own context. So while the idea of money, or currency is just a means of exchange. A way to remove many of the limitations on barter, I mean who wants to carry around a truck load of chickens, just to get some rice, or pay rent. If we had base neutral money/currency this post would be over right here. The trouble with holding this as your prevailing view is this. It ignores the larger context, the currencies we all use on a regular basis do not exist in a vacuum. This means the currency you receive does not reach you in an energy neutral state. It carries with it the context of all it has been used for before, as well as the context of it's creation. While the polarity of it's previous use can be easily cleared, this is not the case when it comes to it's creation.
Before I continue, let me express that I understand that for most people refraining from the use of their local currency would foster hardship. That being said understanding what accepting it's use means to me is an important step in moving toward a fair, free exchange system. So what type of system for currency creation to we have in place now? The majority of the worlds currency is created by private banking institutions at interest, with little to no backing. This means by using the currency you're inadvertently giving tacit endorsement of what in criminal terms would be a racketeering. Yes it's a sad but true fact, our financial system is little different than a government back organized crime syndicate. By participating we are giving our go ahead to the theft of not just our own future labors, but also those of our children, and their children. This government backed monopoly is nothing short of a built in mechanism to ensure profit of the system off any endeavor anyone may undertake. Taking this idea a step farther and it turns into a method of power retention. This is a bit easier to understand when you realize, your money is not yours, never was yours, and never will be yours. It is always the property of the system that created it, you are a user of it, and pay usury for the privilege of doing so.
So when you next hear that money is neither good nor bad it is only energy, point out this while true in the abstract, lacks the context of the world we inhabit, and the currency we have is no more than a tool of enslavement, designed with purpose, and intent.
As always, think for yourself.
