A Course in Miracles: Barter System

Although I feel certain that we will ‘arrive’, I think barter will be the interim step. There is nothing wrong with this. The locals of Ithaca, NY use Ithaca Hours – notes which are worth ‘hours’, not $$$. The dentist’s hour is no more valuable than the chambermaid’s hour.

Apparently, Cambridge Ontario is using its own currency called Community Dollars. The people of Argentina learned the hard way.

The IMF stole all their property, their production, their labour, and their lives because they could no longer pay the arbitrarily increasing rate of interest on the fictitious loan.

As one woman put it, after the banks collapsed, and the people returned to bartering their labour and productivity among themselves, “We just figured, if they won’t give us their money, fine – we’ll make our own.” And they did.

They are now thriving on their own interest free currency. No more poverty. They no longer have to produce three times their needs and sell two thirds of it to pay artificial interest payments to banks!

They will not accept cash of any kind or even the fictitious value of gold. Barter, whether we use our own self-created currency or whether we use electronic trade credits from barter exchanges and networks is a perfect next step in our realization that we are all one because it will move us away from the banks which are literally stealing our health, wealth, love, peace of mind, labour, production, talent, spirit ... our lives.

Barter is a fabulous way to get out from under the International Banksters; the government itself uses barter and 68% of all Fortune 500 corporations are involved in barter.

You think they don’t know it works? Since banking is fraud, then any other ‘alternative banking system’, e.g.: the gold standard, is still fraud.

Unless, as Tim Madden says, someone out there has a quadrillion dollars to bail out the banks, we are headed for a financial collapse.

If we do not have barter in place, there will be suffering. ‘Money’ is purely and simply an illusion used by the banks to steal the efforts of our production and to enslave us all.

It would behoves us all to get out of the fraudulent banking system sooner than later.

Barter however, still suggests a debtor/creditor relationship. We are at our happiest when we are being who we really are, whether this is lending our energy, exuding our talents, giving our time.

I contend that women will be the first to get moving on this because, while men continue to compete, our nature is to be cooperative. Women can and will make the quantum leap from Nightmare to Awake ..... $$$ to Love.

Spiritual Economics

The most difficult thing we will ever have to do in life is change our minds about what we believe to be ‘truth’. For our entire lives we have been programmed, coerced, propagandized, tricked, manipulated, lied to, deceived – almost out of living life itself.

We’ve all heard the many clichés, aphorisms, and quotations which suggest that we must evolve and learn.

The lesson is: We are the source of all we experience.

If we want to change what we think we are experiencing, we must change our minds about our perceptions.

The greatest discovery of any generation is that a living soul can alter his life by altering his attitude. – William James

The only thing that keeps me sane is recalling that since I made it all up, as I make up any and all of my dreams, I can change my mind about any part of it at any time.

By remembering that none of this is real and none of this is really happening, except in my mind, I know that all I have to do is forgive myself for judging my circumstances, since, why judge something that isn’t really happening? Why go back into a dream the next night to fix the ‘bad parts’?

The bad dream occurred only in my mind. I feel great compunction in permitting previous principle to prevent present progress – I’m willing to change my mind. Incidentally, that was an alliteration.

How are we going to remove ourselves from a system designed not to work if we continue to do what they want us to do – slave-labour for them as they control us with their paper?

What will it take before we say, “Not only ‘NO’, but ‘HELL, NO!’” I think it will require great numbers of us only because we will have to stop using the banks. Most of the people I know are complaining about ‘not having enough money’.

Rather than busy ourselves with second and third jobs, which is precisely what the Government want us to do in order to keep our attention off their deeds, not to mention generate more taxes from those of us who don’t know that they are not required to hand it over, we must spend some time and effort on removing ourselves from such a self-defeating system.

We are in a downward spiral and working more is only digging us deeper. We must begin to ‘work smarter’.

This is not about attack, since attack only breeds more guilt which creates anger which perpetuates further attack. This is not about vengeance – getting them for all the distress they have caused us; this is about simply choosing no longer to play the game.

When enough of us want out of a game which we cannot possibly win, the game will meet its demise, along with those who are depending upon us to continue their charade. We will be free.

I understand that a very poignant question might be, “Why do we believe that our true freedom is so dependent upon money?” This is a very difficult belief to bust up, as the entire world functions, rather does NOT function, on this belief.

We can only further convince ourselves that it is real by continuing to play and hence be at the effect of this. When we change our minds about the ostensible power of those who intend to destroy us and realize that we are our own power and authority we will change our circumstances.

Freedom from financial tyranny and oppression will cause us to believe that we are not financially oppressed which will change our minds about our financial freedom.

Finally we will see that our freedom is not dictated by the state of our finances.

What is so mind boggling is that all of this is being financed by the American people themselves through their own taxes. In other words, the American people are underwriting the destruction of their own freedom and way of life by lavishly financing through federal and state grants the very social scientists who are undermining our national sovereignty and preparing our children to become the dumbed-down vassals of the new world order. Samuel L. Blumenfeld

Those whom we believe to be thugs are really just very frightened because they know the IMF can call in the loan at any time and they are frantically trying to confiscate as much cash as possible to give them.

The longer they can do this, the longer they can stave off the crash, but if we don’t pay them as much as we can, the system will collapse like a house of cards.

Be willing to put their minds at rest – sign over as much of your exemption as they ask.

Remember, their intent is not to hurt you as much as it is to save their own skins. Have some compassion; remember – its only business. Let’s be kind to the servants and give them whatever they require – particularly when we have billions – my personal exemption is worth over $15 billion in Canada and $2.27 million in the USA. It doesn’t hurt me in the slightest to sign over $14,000 to MBNA.

It is a drop in the bucket. Remember they are the frightened servants in the basement conspiring to steal the cash of the master of the house, who has so much he doesn’t know what to do with it. What we, the masters/sovereigns, don’t want is their stealing our productivity, labour, and property.

If all they need is $$$, then we can surely let them have that in the form of our exemption via a transfer instrument drawn on our unlimited credit. But if we let them intimidate and scare us into giving them our houses, shame on us for falling for their fear tactics.
