Babylonian Money Magic Slave System or Ubuntu?
by Julie Alexander
Imagine a world without money. At the moment the world is in
the control of a handful of beings. They have created the Babylonian money
magic slave system. This system has the power to control and enslave us all
completely.
We have to work to obtain money, if we don’t we have no
food, energy, clothes, shelter, etc. We could live off the state but this is
frowned upon. Society expects us to work and compete. We are all driven to work
harder and earn more money. This takes up most of our time.
We do not have time to think, to dream, to follow our
creative urges. Everything that we want to do, every idea we have, usually
costs money, every hobby costs money. Some people feel totally constricted by
this system and lose all hope. They turn to drugs and alcohol to find some sort
of relief.
They end up living on the streets with nothing. People and
families can spend their entire lives in a state of poverty with no way out.
This creates a greedy, selfish society.
People will do anything to get on and up the ladder and earn
more money. People become ruthless and uncaring.
This is what the powers that shouldn’t be want for us all.
They are nurturing the selfish, greedy sides of our natures, rather than the
kind loving side of our natures.
We cannot do anything at the moment without money. We need
to eat and we need medical care, we need roofs over our heads. It shouldn’t be
this way. We can live without money. Imagine a world without money.
This is the world I would like for us all, a world that I
would like to live in. We should not have to work long hours every day. We
should not have to worry about food, clothes, energy, medical care. When we
have an idea or an interest we should be able to pursue it.
When we want to travel and explore we should be able to do
it. We should be able to follow our dreams every day of our lives.
Everyone should be able to do what really makes them happy.
To create this kind of world our society would need to be based on a community
spirit.
A community that looks after each other, everyone
contributing to help everyone else, there is already a system out there and it
is called Ubuntu contributionism.
It is based on everyone contributing their specialized
skills for the good of the community, just a few hours a week working for the
community and the rest of the time pursuing their own personal interests.
For this community work we get free food, free shelter, free
clothes, free energy, free everything that we could possibly ever need. We
don’t have to pay for things.
Everyone will have enough of whatever they want. No one
needs to steal, kill, lie or cheat. They just need to do a few hours community
work per week. This system has got to be better than what we have at present,
working ourselves to death, worrying constantly about work and money.
Spending our entire lives and all of our energy just trying
to survive and get through each day. Imagine the world wide misery of the money
slave system, the stress and sadness worldwide.
People having to be something they are not, just to survive.
People having to do things that they don’t want to do to survive, sometimes
horrible humiliating things, selling their very souls to earn money.
Imagine a world without money. Imagine the joy, the
happiness. Imagine waking up every day to pursue your dreams and creativity.
Imagine helping your community and getting free food, free clothes, free
shelter, free energy, free everything in return.
Doing things that you enjoy, doing things that you are good
at. Imagine how this would make you feel. Imagine children growing up in this
society, with happy parents who have plenty of time to spend with them, parents
who are not stressed and miserable.
Imagine the love and joy spreading around the world. Imagine
all the hidden talents in each one of us, coming to the surface and being made
use of. Imagine how good we would all feel about ourselves.
We would no longer need drugs or alcohol, we would be happy
just being alive each day, breathing the air, gazing at the sun, the stars, we
wouldn’t all be running around like headless chickens, which is what is
happening now.
Stop for a moment, look around you, look at people’s faces,
look into their souls, see the sadness there. Then look in the mirror and what
do you see? Is this the world you want for your children and grandchildren?
A world based on the Babylonian money magic slave system, or
do you see a world without money, a world full of joy and happiness, a world
full of love and peace.
I know what sort of world I want to live in, do you?
