Money is similar to this concept called GOD. God, in reality, does not really ‘exist’ (as an object in nature) and neither does ‘money’! We now need to think anew about that which ‘exists’ and that which is ‘abstract’ and/or ‘imaginary’! We live in TWO worlds (mostly unknowingly)!

Today, I was at McDonald’s for breakfast. The question I proposed for a few of the person’s eating was: ‘what is money’. Two senior citizens, three McDonald’s workers, and the Manager all participated. The question at issue was: What the heck is ‘money’? The responses were varied and interesting. The two senior citizens said that they were unsure. Money is used to get our needs but what specifically ‘is it’ was uncertain. One worker said money is ‘paper’. Another said that money is the Federal Reserve. The manager said money comes from above. All the responses were interesting but NONE could define specifically ‘what is money’. Why this confusion over this crucial question of our reality?

I think I have the answer. In reality, money does not really EXIST as a physical object (anywhere within our material universe). There is ‘no such thing’ as money within our sight, hearing, smelling, feeling, tasting world. Yet we all know that ‘money’ is a force within our world. We buy/sell/invest/save but we know not what this ‘thing’ called money IS. What we need to understand is that ‘money’ derives from our inner self (our metaphysical/spiritual self). Money, the word, derives from our consciousness/spirit and this makes it unresponsive to any of our five senses. None of us can find, locate, or discover a ‘thing’ which denotes actual ‘money’. This makes this concept so confusing to those who ‘think’ about the question!

So does this mean that money is a ‘non-thing’ (not composed of this substance called ‘matter’)? I think so! Money does NOT exist as a ‘thing’ or ‘object’ within our material universe. What we need to comprehend is that human beings LIVE within TWO realms of reality. It’s called Dualism. What we experience with our five senses could be viewed as one realm. What we experience within us (our inner spirit/consciousness) is another realm. This means that we can confuse ourselves by not knowing which of these TWO realms are operating as we think. Thinking derives from our inner self. Seeing, however, produces the objects/things which we experience outside of our inner self. All this creates confusion when we think about concepts like ‘value’ and ‘money’.

Today, we have a confusing situation as ‘seeing’ within cyberspace (our smart phone screens) gives us the ‘illusion’ that our ‘inner’ self is really part of our ‘outer’ self. We all ‘see’ objects within our cyber screens and usually ‘think’ that these virtual objects are ‘outer’ things. The virtual images appear to be part of the material/outer world of things. We often ‘think’ that ‘seeing’ money symbols (within our computer screens) are the same as our historical physical money. In reality, however, we are living an ‘illusion/deception’ without knowing it. In reality, the ‘seeing’ of images in cyberspace (our computer screens) are really part of our ‘inner’ world. It is our ‘inner’ world which we now need to separate from our ‘outer’ world so we can comprehend reality. This means that Dualism is the philosophy of today/now!

Dualism goes all the way back to Socrates and Plato. It proposes that human beings live within TWO worlds. The world of ‘forms’ or ‘mental images’ and the world of matter (things/objects). Mental abstractions (images) derive from my ‘inner’ world. I then apply a ‘name’, ‘symbol’, or ‘number’ to some material ‘thing’ which I presume is ‘outer’. Today’s computer/cyber world creates much confusion when it comes to our money. Most people perceive that this concept called money is part of my outer world. Our tradition has been that ‘money’ exists as some ‘thing’ within this ‘outer’ world. Money has always been viewed as some ‘thing’ (like paper, silver, metal coins, gold, or an object from nature). But today, all this has changed…with FEW comprehending the CHANGE.

We now have VIRTUAL or CYBER symbols ($$$) as our money. Mere mental abstractions (numbers) have become our legal tender for all money transactions. Physical monies (paper notes/coins) are being removed/discredited/abolished so that cyber symbols ($$$) can replace all these historical monies. The trend is towards a cyber world of money symbols ($$$) with NO physical existence (within our ‘outer’ world). A cashless world is being promoted by our Central Banks and our political establishment. Cyber symbols (all inner and living with cyberspace) are replacing all our ‘outer’ historical objects which we assumed were money. All this gets us closer to truth and reality as I have known for years that I live within TWO realms. Dualism has been my philosophy for the past 50+ years.

So let’s conclude this missive with the message that MONEY (in reality) does not EXIST. There is no such ‘thing’ as money within our material space/time universe (that which most assume is our real world). Money should be viewed as an ‘inner’ concept which appears to be ‘outer’ but which is not! Money is ‘INNER’ and lives within my/your Consciousness. Confusion results because our Central Authorities are now forcing all humanity into this ‘inner’ world of cyberspace (but calling it ‘outer’). Cyber money is being forced upon everyone so that the VISION of our rulers can be achieved (called Agenda 2030). A centralized world where a few select elites RULE this planet via a system of ‘cyber’ money and cyber manipulations. Who is aware?

We are gradually being ENSLAVED by cyber (inner) objects which we THINK are ‘outer’ (but which are really ‘inner’). Seeing objects within our computer screens has fooled us and deceived us. Our authorities are also fooled and deceived IMO. We need to wake-up to the reality that we all live within TWO worlds/realms. There is an ‘outer’ world of physical objects and also an ‘inner’ world of mental abstractions/concepts/images/symbols/numbers. The ‘inner’ realm is now called VIRTUAL reality and CYBERSPACE is part of this ‘inner’ realm. What is now needed is a wake-up to this NEW reality called Dualism! Read this missive over a few times to discern these realities. Pass this missive on to your friends for their evaluation. Enjoy! I am: https://kingdomecon.wordpress.com.

Some images which are relevant to the above missive:

Aristotle created the scientific mindset of assuming that we live within ONE realm of reality. Matter/energy is all that there is to reality!

In contrast to Aristotle’s scientific mindset we have the mindset of Socrates and Plato. This mindset views reality as composed of TWO realms! We all live within TWO realms of reality called the MIND and the BODY!

The Dualistic mindset proposes that my ‘inner’ self is separate from my ‘outer’ self. I live in TWO realms/worlds!

Descartes furthered the view that Dualism is more real that Monism. The problem, however, is called the Mind/body problem and is not easy to prove! How can my inner self be separated from my outer self? Am I my ‘body’ or am I really my ‘mind’?

Money has now entered this realm of the ‘inner’ self called cyberspace. This creates confusion within our markets!

Money, in reality, does not EXIST (as an object) today! It is purely an ‘inner’ abstraction (within our mind)! This makes it ‘imaginary’!

Bitcoin is an example of a ‘virtual’ currency which technically does not EXIST (as an object from nature)! It lives within cyberspace!

Paper notes are being converted to ‘inner’ symbols/numbers to create our global Cashless/Cyber society!
