Developing a social memory complex

[Anders]

Not only is concern about money a form of love of money, it's also service-to-self! Because if I'm concerned about having enough money as a separate individual it's a form of struggle against the wholeness of life, and it will also inevitably lead to conflict and friction between me and other people who also are concerned about securing their money, and it becomes a service-to-self struggle to get enough money.

Jesus talked about how we cannot serve both God and money. Then what happens if we don't care about money? Isn't that irresponsible and will lead to our own and in many cases even other people's poverty? Well, amazingly, Jesus has an answer about that too:

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - Matthew 6:25-33

To seek the kingdom of God (which is within us [Luke 17]) I take as meaning being aligned with the wholeness of life, to recognize the Infinite Creator in action in everything. And "pagans" I interpret as the beast stream.
