Understand the Society (the past, the future, now) in a few minutes

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

Do you think the economy is a worthwhile knowledge?
Do you think the economists are studying hard to provide us with a really useful ideas, products?
Do you think they better understand how the society operates, evolves and should behave?
Quite the opposite.
They are brainwashed, deluded in the name of Money.
Their main goal (even if they don’t realised, that’s how brainwashed they are) is to promote the concept of the Money – this concept is their chief marketing product, they are trained sellers of this Money idea.

Money are worthless, they are an illusion, their value is based on trust, on our consensus.
They poses no inherent value, no real value.
What is the real value then?
For example – heat, shelter, clothing, food, tools for providing aforementioned things and also love, fun, friends.
Do you get it?

You can’t eat money, but they have a little value in the form of tiny heat they can supply you when you burn them while trying to get a little bit warmer, in the times of the Money illusion collapse, when the cheap oil, that supplies your heat requirements nowadays, will stop flowing. That’s why you should collect paper money only and in a small denominations, just to have them as much as possible for a longer fire. I am joking, but actually it was always better idea to have many different small denominations when the horrors of the inflation hit the country and the banks stopped working, you couldn’t get any money – when this time starts again (and it will, because the inflation is hard coded into this economic system, it’s a process how to balance old debts, when things are out of control), you need small money to buy the real thinks (like bread), until the money will still have any value (for the baker).

Because, what has value for the baker? Real wealth again – food, shelter, heat, clothing.
If there are no money, do we stop to use these real-valued things?
Not at all.
We start to exchange them for something else.
Something basic for the whole Universe.
Something all economists are taught nothing about, or apparently not in the way that should give them enough hints to realise they are brainwashed Earth-destroyers.
All economists should learn really hard the Laws of Thermodynamics as their basic knowledge.

Because, it’s all about Energy.
Energy should be the real currency of economics, not the money and because of this delusion, our daily steps are based on a devastating model, that could only stupid, undeveloped brains propagate.
Yes, I call the economists stupid.
And all of us, who don’t try to understand the reality better.
It should be our basic knowledge too.

Stupidity comes together (also) with wrong thinking, clouded, heavy, detail oriented thinking. Not able to connect all dots, to see things broader, interconnected. Stupid people have little will to understand the basic phenomenons, basic laws of Universe, like Energy flow.
Ohsawa would tell you what’s the cause and what’s the remedy of course.

My English and knowledge of this topic is not good at all, that’s why you should read this article, minutes that can’t be spend better for the upcoming times:

The Master Game

the master game book ropp

You like thought provoking books, don’t you? Drinking from another cup of someone’s illusionary perspective. Here’s a tip for a good drink ;)

Years ago de Ropp wrote a useful and clarifying book on the subject of life paths called The Master Game. This is a very good book for youths who wish to examine their motivations and the deep desires and goals that influence their creation of lives that conform to (hopefully) their greatest ideals. Power, fame, wealth, family life, wisdom, experiences and freedom (jivanmukti) are all legitimate aims. If we make our choices from the handbook we are given by society, and usually our families, we have very limited choices. We do what has already been done, what is always done. This is what makes the world go round, perhaps. The salt of the earth, the propagators of life, the growers of food and new software, inventors, lovers and soldiers make this planet function as it must. These are the salt and the pillars, the men and women of the world.

We all ask, at one time or another, “What do I want to do with my life?”

On the one hand, we all want to do something that matters in some way, that makes a difference, that is meaningful, that is fulfilling. Something that’s worthwhile, something real.

On the other hand, when we phrase the question “what do I want to do with my life?” – and sit with it – it often seems like such a huge, vague, looming, slippery, cloud of fog, like trying to catch a cloud in a milk carton – a frustrating experience.

But one chap, Robert S De Ropp, has offered a few pointers, which might help us get a more sturdy handle on the matter. What follows is a brief sketch of a portion of his message.

The Master Game – Review by LiveReal

De Ropp was involved with the early years of the Gurdjieff-Ouspensky teachings.

What life game do you want to play ? This book suggests that there are deeper and more fulfilling options available than the default ones based on money, power or hedonism that education and social conditioning can sometimes provide us with. The master game is a life course involving a systematic attempt to develop self knowledge. Its hazards are not wisely ignored but its rewards are beyond the ordinary also…

I have found De Ropp’s idea of “Inner Theatre” a great help. Our minds seem to set up miniature virtual ego-work laboratories – one imagines oneself in situations and plays out scenes. To him this is an aid to knowing oneself. I still remember the feeling of grand adventure through seeking deeper awareness this book wafted my way.

It’s interesting for me to read Ropp’s connection to Grudjieff, who’s personality I presented few days ago. Synchronicities are such a fun ;)
