Equal Money and Collective Responsibility for Life

ART by Ann van den Broeck

Wake Up, You have been Brainwashed!





How have we come to the acceptance and allowance of the system as it exists now?

Due to the human buying into the system of consumerism, the human is 'evolving' as a fabricated identity in self-interest while completely disregarding the interest of life which is the actual interest of each one as life.

As long as we are subject to the system, within or without, any attempts of change are useless; as long as we follow instead of leading ourselves in self-honesty, we remain slaves. How can we lead our world to freedom if we are not free? And how can we be free as long as we are subject to the systematic patterns of the past, the patterns that evidently cause only struggle, conflict, war? How can we be free as long as we exist in fear?

The question here is: What is fear? And why do we exist in fear? How have we, individually and collectively, been dealing with fear throughout the history of mankind?

We have been running away from our own fear, we have been projecting our own fear onto "others" which results in projecting blame and making "others" responsible; we have been trying to suppress and deny our own fear and within this we have per implication accepted our own inferiority, accepted ourselves as powerless. So - isn´t fear then just an excuse?

Because as long as we 'justify' how we exist in defense- and protection-mechanisms against each-other, in fear of each-other, we will claim that fear has a reason and a purpose - and yes indeed: it has the purpose of maintaining the status quo and keeping the human divided while the system prevails.

How does the system educate us? Through fear.
What is love in this world based on? On fear.
What is war in this world based on? On fear.
What is preventing the human from actually evolving and expanding as life? Fear.
What is preventing peace between nations and countries? Fear.

...But really? Or is fear perhaps just an excuse, a ´justification´, to not have to move beyond our own shadow and CHANGE!

Is fear born from self-interest - or is self-interest born from fear? Or are fear and self-interest one and equal as the driving force of the systematic human, the organic robot, the system slave?


This and more we investigate in absolute depth at Desteni - and that is why we propose an equal money system as a first step towards establishing an equal life foundation for ALL life and reforming our existence within and without such that it assist humanity in transcending fear, transcending self-interest, and realizing what it means and what it take to LIVE in the interest of LIFE as who we all really are - no more exploiting, abusing and depleting ourselves and our Earth in the name of profit, no more placing profit before life, no more waging wars in the name of a god, a religion, a belief, no more educating our children in fear and separation.

The key to stopping the matrix that determines our existence within and without is in the realization of collective responsibility - the realization that LIFE is interconnected and interdependent, and that any harm done unto a single part of life, is harm done unto life as a Whole.

We will not change the system by fighting the system - because the system exists through us, as who we are in all our relationships and throughout every moment of our participation in the world. It is useless to fight ourselves, this only indicates ignorance and shows that we see things in separation and are not understanding the interconnectedness of everything in the bigger picture.

It is vital that we educate ourselves into understanding in detail how the accepted system in fact works, because only then can we see cause and effect and acknowledge consequence. The solution is as simplistic as common sense - to get there however will take understanding the core of the system as it exists within and without, so that we can change things by changing our starting-point and our individual participation in our world based on collective responsibility and the self-realization of Life as One, which implies that within that Oneness we are all equals as life.




Now –
if we investigate the nature of the accepted matrix that governs our existence to its core, we will find that this matrix is based on and consists of: relationships of inequality, equations of polarity, hence also a constant friction between concepts of ‘good’ and ‘evil’, ‘superior’ and ‘inferior’, ‘master’ and ‘slave’, Haves and Have-Nots.

The operative word here being CONCEPTS –
because if we look at things in common sense, it is easy to see that we are all here on this one earth, we share the same requirements in terms of what a human beings needs to have a dignified life without fear, without struggle, without dependencies; we are all made of flesh and bones, we all breathe the same air, and therefore we are EQUAL as Earthlings, as citizens of the earth, as life. And yet, for some twisted reason we do not see common sense, we ignore the fact that we are here on common ground which would imply that we share a common interest – LIFE –

and yet, we have managed to separate ourselves from life, from each-other, and create fake “values” and “interests” that are constantly in conflict, disregarding the interest of life in the name of self-interest, profit, separation.

We have created mental concepts to differentiate “us” and “them”, as if we were not from the substance, as if we were not all to return to the same source at death. How peculiar, that, even though birth and death is equal for all and even though we have equal needs in order to have a life in dignity in the time between birth and death, we choose to ignore our equality and to define ourselves based on our differences, to such an extent that we’ll go to war in the name of our differences and kill each-other in the name of – what really…



So if we look at what we have done and put it in plain words:

We have disgraced our actual PHYSICAL equality as living beings, and have created MENTAL concepts of inequality to ‘justify’ our self-interest, which is Ego.

We have based our entire existence and the systems we have created to manage our existence on these mental concepts of inequality and have polarized our world in all possible ways, creating nothing but conflict, abuse, deception, as we exploit life in the name of profit, in the name of self-interest, in the name of our ‘OWN’, while we leave 2/3 of the world citizens to suffer under unspeakable conditions, not to mention the earth itself, nature and the animal kingdom.


It’s interesting to note that we have created a complexity out of our existence that is unnecessary, and it only serves those in power, it only serves the System itself, human lives come and go and what prevails throughout our existence – is the System. Which interestingly enough indicates that OUR existence, OUR nature, OUR participation, OUR interactions: create and re-create the system, the world as we know it, and despite all revolution, rebellion, or revolt, nothing ever really changes, history just keeps repeating, and all that’s changing is the faces, the pictures, the names – but in essence, it is the same twisted game, over and over and over again.

The solution to this is simplistic. At the same time however, it is not easy, because it implies understanding the complexity we have created and more importantly: HOW we have created it. It implies understanding the inter-plays, the mechanics, the ‘laws’ of existence as we know it, as that is the only way we can change it. Furthermore it implies that we must investigate how such ‘laws’ exist through OUR permission, OUR acceptance and allowance, OUR participation. Because without the human, the system would not exist.



These and more are the points we investigate at Desteni – whereby we willingly question everything that we have accepted and allowed, and within that investigate cause and effect to understand our existence from the perspective of CONSEQUENCE, and thus to understand how we came to be where we are at today, individually and collectively. In the realization that life is interconnected and interdependent, we can see that all our words, thoughts and deeds have consequences, and every moment of our participation has an impact on existence as a whole. This is in essence how we manifest What is Here as this world, our reality.

Changing the matrix of existence in the interest of life means to place LIFE as the highest value – the actual value that we all share and which makes as Equal as living beings, as citizens of the Earth.

That is why Equal Money is currently the only way to actual change.

Money has become the god of our world, everything of our existence is determined by money. And our concept of money is based on polarity, on separation, on inequality. And this has the consequence we see in our world, where money determines your choices you have and the choices you don’t have, money determines your survival, your life, your death. And interestingly enough, money is what keeps those that COULD do something about it all – that COULD work on solutions to starvation, poverty, war – contained and distracted, busy with their own survival, busy struggling and slaving day in day out just to feed themselves and their families, just to pay the bills and make sure their future is somehow protected, while 2/3 of the world population exist in atrocious conditions, in poverty, famine, war, hunger, starvation.



So – Equal Money will first of all put an end to this ‘survival mode’ that we are all contained within, it will assist and support mankind to transcend survival fear, and will provide everyone with the time and peace required to deal with and sort out what matters: the nature of our existence, individually and collectively.

Equal Money means equal life, equal dignity, equal freedom. It means equal rights, equal access, equal power. It means collective responsibility and thus collective participation. It means the end of hierarchy and thus the end of abuse, the end of exploitation, the end of inequality.

Equal Money will put an end to the deterioration of life that is happening in the name of profit, because in common sense the only valid profit is where LIFE profits, thus where ALL profit equally from any and all policies and systems that we may form to support the equal distribution of goods, resources, and services for ALL life, making sure that no one is left behind, no one is left to struggle or suffer.

See – you do not choose where you are born in this world, you do not choose the conditions into which you come into beingness. That starving child, that dying soldier, that hungry soul – it could have been you. And maybe it will be, in another life.

We do have the power to equalize the living conditions in our world into dignity and freedom for all. So that no matter where you are born, you are certain to have what you need for a dignified life on earth, for your education, development and growth, for your expression and expansion, for you to explore and discover yourself and what it means to LIVE and CREATE.

Equal Money is a model where money is given the value of life; where the systems to be formed around the resource are based on the value of life; where life is acknowledged as the only actual value and thus practically and in fact supported in all possible ways.

At the Equal Money Forum and Wiki we discuss the HOW-TO, and everyone is welcome and explicitly implored to participate, to share input, to work together so that we form the best possible solutions for every single point that pertains to practical living on Earth.

Opening the Door to Real Freedom | New Paradigm for Humanity


This is a great practical example of LIFE & LIVING in an Equal Money System.
It is also a fascinating example of approaching questions through the unfolding of practical common sense as best for all and moving beyond the boundaries of the current consciousness/ system. The questions were answered by Esteni De Wet on one of the Forums
See how our thinking is conditioned to remain within the bounds of confinement as we've accepted it in this world system - and witness how from one singular point, Esteni opens a door to freedom and self-expansion, as she presents at the same time a new paradigm for a new world based on the value of life:




question - are you allowed to accumulate those things you have bought with the set amount of money the state allocates you ?
You can accumulate things – However if your behaviour is obsessive compulsive and personal self interest trumpets what is best for all, it will be seen that you have a disorder and psychological training will be required to address the disorder.
For instance, let's imagine I own an old portable radio that I listen to all the time, but it burns through batteries pretty quickly, Having antiques, using antiques will be a personal interest / hobby that you can pursue. And when specific models / batteries are discontinued and this is an interest that you have you would be able to take responsibility for the discontinuation of that particular line, thus enabling you access to the specific interest that you have.

would I be allowed to buy batteries?
In an Equal Money System – you will not be buying anything. You are assigned credits in order to gain access to the resources that you require. The easiest way of looking at this principle is using an example:
Imagine you live in a very big family – Lets say 20 people – All your food is always provided for (you or them are purchasing the required goods) – you have a place to live – your basic needs are met. Then you have a specific interest developing that you would like to pursue – You discuss this with your family and the family makes provision so that you are able to pursue this interest – The family measures your request to see whether it is what is best for all and making sure that the interest is clear as a self directive interest to pursue.
Now – using this example we can see that there is no buying and selling, lending and owing. There is a need – The need is met. 
It must be clearly understood here though that personal responsibility plays a big role here. If you have an interest – You are taking responsibility for the entirety of that interest – By taking full responsibility for the entirety of an interest one will soon learn that with desire comes the responsibility of that desire – Thus – it is not just about taking (the personal self interest) – It is about taking responsibility for that self interest.

...with my money and then store them in my home in large numbers (let's imagine the reason I would want to store them is that it is an old technology and batteries of the right size are becoming increasingly rare).
You will be able to store items.


So would I be allowed to have a cellar full of these hard to find batteries ?
The part that must be understood here is that if this hobby takes preference over that group, you become obsessive and your decisions are influenced by this obsession – It will be clear that it is not what is best for all.
Remember – In a world where we are giving to each other that which we require – the latest technology will be at the disposal of all – Thus holding onto old technology such as the radio is a personal preference which may or may not be supported by the group – depending on the availability and sustainability. That said – You may even as a hobby – develop your own batteries that make this older technology function. 


If I am allow to keep hold of and store the things I bought, would I then be able to freely swap and trade these batteries with other radio enthusiasts, perhaps in exchange for someone's homegrown tomatoes or a nice portrait of my son or a haircut ?
We do not trade in an equal money system. We give or we do not give. Giving and not giving is determined by the equality equation. Using the same example above.
All your needs are met in this family – So lets make this example a bit bigger now – The family is now the entire world’s population. You live in one particular town and you know a lady who does hair cuts. She does this because she loves cutting hair – it is what she has decided to place her focus on – this is her passion. So – you go to her and ask for a hair cut – As this is her passion – she gives this to you.
Your passion is old technology and as such you are a collector of old technology – But not just that you make it accessible to those that also have a passion for old technology. As this is your passion – you are always interested in finding ways to make old technology practical and accessible to others.

And if this free exchange is allowed - could this exchange be deferred - by that I mean let' say my radio enthusiast friend needs a couple of my hypothetically-hard-to-find-batteries for his lovely old 1962 radio and normally in exchange he cuts my hair - but at the time I give him the batteries I don't need a haircut - could the haircut be deferred in the following manner . . .
1) I give him the batteries.
2) He gives me a promissory note that reads: "I owe Lee one hair cut for those batteries he gave me"
3) When I need to get my hair cut I simply phone up my friend - arrange when it's easy for him to do my hair - and hand him the note on the day.
No – This is called bartering. You still end up in a system where people owe things to one another – This is the system that got us into the shit in the first place. There are two essential key factors in the Equal Money System – Giving and Taking Responsibility for that which has been given to you.


Is there anything in that arrangement that would fall foul of the EMS ?
And one further corollary question . . . . imagine one day I notice in the mirror how handsome I look with long straggly hair (yes ladies, you know the look :D ) - and so decide I am not in need of a haircut - so have no need to trade in my promissory note for a hair cut with my friend - would I be able to trade the promissory note with someone else for something else (if my friend who does the hair cuts is cool with it being passed on)?
Already answered.





In this context, here follows a further perspective by Marlen Vargas Del Razo:

It’s similar to a point wherein someone asked me (through a YouTube comment in one of the Equal Money System videos) about being able to get/ own/ have 5 cars wherein I pointed out that we can only drive one car at a time therefore creating an evidence on how the accumulation of cars have become a ‘symbol of power’ in society – this single idea of ‘having up to 5 cars’ comes from the capitalist brainwashing that is extensively promoted and nowadays propagated through the ‘rich and famous’ that accumulate all types of rarities and cars and houses that can only exist if there is enough slaves they can pay for to keep everything in place and functioning.

So, it will be interesting to see how the usual consumerist quirks that have been adopted as part of ‘our preferences’ are debunked once we realize that we didn’t actually NEED the item, but indulged into the accumulation, variety or worth-placed on such item/product/object as a mental value system which we’ve embedded to virtually everything – even sometimes to people – in separation of ourselves. That’s the infamous monetizing of reality wherein if we look in common sense, having 5 cars for a single person is a plain act of excess – yet I know people that do own such amount of cars and have made of cars ‘their passion’ but such ‘passion’ can only exist as long as they are able to profit such amounts of money to keep their hobby in place. Someone that is barely making money for a living won’t think of getting more than 1 car and only if that’s utterly necessary and doesn’t affect the rest of their most immediate needs to cover.

The point of ‘meeting your needs’ is actually very cool to emphasize because within that, we’ll be able to draw the line to see how much do we buy out of sheer ‘compulsion’ or actual necessity. This is one of the points that I’ve placed in action within walking this process wherein I’ve simplified my expenses as I have simplified my ‘lifestyle’ to begin with. All forms of personality build-ups require money, all addictions and any other ‘entertainment’ that I might seldom indulge in whereas others ‘need to have it’ every single weekend or so – all eventually money related just as anything else in this reality. And the point to look at is what’s behind it all. I went to buy fruit, people were watching a soccer match in the store, people go to the store to buy beer because ‘there is a soccer match’. So even if it seems as some type of ‘healthy entertainment’, the single ‘enjoyment’ of such match is mostly inherently related to alcohol consumption, buying  of food or certain junk food I mean, there are many products associated with one single point of entertainment such as watching a soccer game on a saturday night, probably more than what we can even consider. That is not an actual ‘need’ but part of the accepted entertainment that is just as anything currently profit driven and sold well as people ‘need to get distracted’ after spending an entire week ‘making a living’. So it all compensates itself when the money they earn is spent on such pleasures wherein it all goes back to the same ‘masters’ that plan this entire system to work to the T for their own benefit. This is HOW we are responsible for ‘corporate greed’ as well.

What we will face eventually as we go into a transitional phase is the re-assessment of ‘what we are built of’ – what do we buy, why do we buy it, what value/worth is such product adding up to ‘who I am’ – does buying/owning such thing define me in any way? Can I live without it? These are literal questions that I’ve asked myself whenever finding something and going into the compulsory state of ‘wanting to buy it’ – I tend to accumulate stuff and I realize this is out of fear – or creating a ‘stock’ which I call ‘being prepared/cautious’ – sometimes it is so I don’t have to go buying milk all the time and sometimes it’s out of creating a sense of security around having more than 2 items of the basic meals I usually eat. Now this is only talking about basic-needs like food. If we go into all the items we buy for our pleasure/entertainment or sheer compulsive shopping-treats we’ll get to face the reality of the worth/value as the why we buy what we buy and how we’ve defined ourselves accordingly.

Possessing creates a form of security in our current system. We can hear how people are gleeful whenever they manage to ‘finally own their house’ – if they ever get to do so. So far it’s been quite a long time since I’ve heard people getting to own their house nowadays unless it was inherited or bought in the ‘old bonanza days’ in this world. I also got to know brutal stories of people losing their homes to banks after great devaluations took place in this country in 1994 after having their mortgage doubled up from overnight. Insane, and such person that was my mother’s best friend eventually got cancer and died, consumed by the constant worry about their elusive debt that grew exponentially fast.

So, possessing a house, a car or anything won’t mean ‘securing your life’ as your life will simply be able to be granted with a house to live in, a car if you need it and virtually ending this constant worry about ‘finally owning something’ for the sake of being able to sleep at ease at night.

Clarifying the bartering point is also cool as we can see how it is within the ‘I.O.U’s that money came to be within generating these relationships of give/take that weren’t unconditional. Eventually in bartering someone will decide that a kilo of potatoes ‘deserves’ two kilos of bananas for whatever reasons they might give and within that, creating further inequality between products which is an equivalent of profit making in the long wrong = inequality; whereas if everything is worked for to be produced and placed as equally available, we’ll dissolve such current differences that are outflows of speculation that comes from the ‘claws’ of the system that decide on the worth of certain foods in the ‘food market’ for the sake of creating some profit for them.

A basic example here is how avocados went up in price here in a crazy manner like never before and they explained me how it was because ‘the cream of the crop’ of avocados was sent out to the US and there were barely non ‘good stuff’ left here, so due to the infamous offer-demand law, the demand was such that couldn’t be fulfilled hence prices went up to the point wherein I would pay for one single avocado what could’ve been good for 3-4 avocados before. YET common sense is that there is a monopoly behind this that has made of ‘avocados’ a product of desire to be fulfilled in a certain way that the rest of the markets are absorbed to fulfill such need. As a parallel point, someone that owns an avocado tree in their parcel won’t experience any ‘change’ in the growth of avocados and, as a result of them being out of the market-circuit, they’ll simply have no correlation to the current rising up of avocados in prices in our usual markets – the tree is the tree and it ‘knows’ no economics which is an equivalent of fancy laws that are created to benefit only a few.

As a final example someone asked the other day in one of my videos on how things would be given – meaning if there was John and Paul wanting to have a car yet John didn’t work at all and remained under an apple tree all day while Paul worked all day, how would ‘that’ be equal? Yet the basic point that I asked is why would John want a car if he was planning to remain under an apple tree all day? These type of questions mostly reveal to what extent we are not willing to give to another what we want for ourselves, and how even if John decides to stay underneath the tree, if he requires a car and has been a human being that’s worked for the system and shows no other signs of greed, then cool for him getting a car, why not?

Working won’t be ‘our key to the world’ anymore in the sense of only being able to have access to our basic requirements if we have a job and If we have enough money to meet our needs. Within this, work will also become part of our expression and process of discovery of what the human being will be able to be/become once there is no worry to have food on the table or a place to stay in the next day.

By living in a world where giving and taking in equality is available for all, the inherent greed that comes through fear of loss will cease to exist as no ‘scarcity’ will be in place – we know how scarcity is part of the tactics to promote compulsive acquisition of goods as there is an ‘impending fear’ of such item/product not being there anymore next time or ‘going extinct’ or rising up in price for whatever reason those that ‘name-the-game’ would decide for. This is hooked then with trends and any seasonal human quirks such as Christmas time when everybody is out there shopping their pockets till they’re dry.

Lol how can we take anything as ‘true value’ in this current system if we’ve monetized all, even ‘love’ or ‘happiness’ or whatever anyone would consider to be ‘out of the loop’ from such value system.

Everything has been ‘tainted’ within this current system and, because it’s our creation, we’ve got to take self responsibility for it. We cannot possibly continue wanting to ‘own the world’ for the sake of feeling superior, feeling more, feeling ‘valued’, feeling ‘loved’ even – there is a LOT that we’ve created as an idea of ourselves disregarding the very physicality that has tolerated our mental bs value systems for so long now.

We’ve got to stop within ourselves, we’ve got to realize that a simplification of our own lives is required to then be aware of what will actually entail to take self responsibility for our very basic needs and services to be met/fulfilled once that there are no more ‘slaves’ to pay for to do the work for us, once that we are not able to ‘own’ for the sake of creating a certain profile within the credit-system required to be able to obtain ‘more’ as such surplus of money was only debt anyways. Within this, all egos will eventually be deflated like balloons that lose their hot air – which is money as it currently exists. This is part of what we’ve realized and shared here as part of our process in seeing how money affects ‘who we are’ and how we experience ourselves differently when ‘we have more than enough’, when ‘we don’t have any’ or ‘when we are on the verge of losing it all’ – and many other interim states of course.

So – money as the added power on the human will cease to exist and this giving and taking will remain as the exchange that we have as our physical breathing- in-out/ giving and taking without being able to ‘accumulate breaths for the sake of living more’ or out of ‘fear of survival’ lol – if we take the basic principle of breathing as ‘Life’ as I am Here, we’ll be able to understand how any form of ‘power’ beyond each breath is a delusion that has only filled some greedy men’s pockets and how giving and taking should be as fearless and as ‘natural’ as breathing.

Lots of changes ahead for us, glad to have it this way because we cannot possibly continue as we currently are now. 
Thanks.
