Did Ra say that Venus had no currency? I don't remember that part. Which alien civilization exists without a form of currency?

Quote:22.5 Questioner: Can I assume then that this drastic drop in average life span from seven hundred years to less than one hundred years in length during this second 25,000 years was caused by an intensification of a lack of service to others?
Ra: I am Ra. This is in part correct. By the end of the second cycle, the Law of Responsibility had begun to be effectuated by the increasing ability of entities to grasp those lessons which there are to be learned in this density. Thus, entities had discovered many ways to indicate a bellicose nature, not only as tribes or what you call nations but in personal relationships, each with the other, the concept of barter having given way to the concept of money; also, the concept of ownership having won ascendancy over the concept of nonownership on an individual or group basis.
Each entity then was offered many more subtle ways of demonstrating either service toward others or service to self with the distortion of the manipulation of others. As each lesson was understood, those lessons of sharing, of giving, of receiving in free gratitude—each lesson could be rejected in practice.
Without demonstrating the fruits of such learn/teaching the life span became greatly reduced, for the ways of honor/duty were not being accepted.

Quote:23.15 Questioner: I was really questioning about the more basic cause of disease rather than the mechanism of its transmission. I was going back to the root of thought that created the possibility of disease. Could you briefly tell me if I am correct in assuming the general reduction of thought over the long time on planet Earth with respect to the Law of One created a condition whereby what we call disease could develop? Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct and perceptive. You, as questioner, begin now to penetrate the outer teachings.
The root cause in this particular society was not so much a bellicose action although there were, shall we say, tendencies, but rather the formation of a money system and a very active trading and development of those tendencies towards greed and power; thus, the enslaving of entities by other entities and the misapprehension of the Creator within each entity.
Quote:On the other hand, a publicly issued and publicly backed currency is a great idea. It leads to prosperity. The original greenback was this.
Private currencies are ok as long as they are voluntary and not the only option. Putting the money supply in the hands of the Fed is the dumbest idea ever.
The problem with society is not money. The problem is poverty. How should humans solve poverty? Easy. Just give money to the poor. Why don't more humans do this? Because lots of humans are greedy hoarders who don't care about their fellow man. This is not money's fault though, this is the fault of greedy people.
refer to the above quotes.

im not judging you. i am trying to help you see that, you are making grandoise conclusions in regard to how positive/negative should be, how can spiritualism be, before having dwelt on very base concepts like positive/negative, their meaning, their practical implications in regard to other-selves.
