MessageThe process of usury certainly did arise naturally, as naturally as other diseases that arise from greed and excess. I do not see it as a symptom of fairness, or trade and barter. Fairness arises from being grounded and heart centered. Usury certainly has had its place in your evolution. I think people are having enough of debt and the system it created. I see no practical reason for it to continue. Unless you want to keep the whole 1st world 2nd world 3rd world assembly line going. The only reason America was convinced to keep the European mess going was out of fear, and statues quo. Hamilton sold it as the only way to unite the country and to protect its self was to make our selves credit worthy to foreign banking interests. He even openly admitted that debt was crippling Europe especial Britain which was old 1st world thug. He said it did not matter because you need to go into debt to protect your self and squash rebellion. He considered war and rebellion diseases that could only be solved through debt and violence. Of course a room full of men agreed that that was the thing to do, well except guys like Jefferson. You see the whole trick for some was to have the American people take the lean, while you the war time profiteers get the money. Of course for those actually lending, they could care less about pay back in the form of silly money, they want control, to be middle men. It is a game to get consent, to get the most powerful thing, the agreement to play along. I get you to play my game then I got your power. They are masters of gaining agreement and building empires on authority. You will see this pattern over and over. Banks got the authority of gold and turned it into what we see to day. Western medicine turned the authority of penicillin into a gold mine. It is an old art, of theater and game play. We must ground and return to our hearts. People are playing online and going to see movies of the simple magical life. Unplug and have the courage to live it. We are artisans, beautiful special servers of the Tao and humanity. Peace and blessings to you all. Sing with me my loves!
