    Money as Trust on the Collective

    Money is an expression of individual trust in the collective economic stability that is security.

    Evolution of Money

    Evolutionary Stages of Money

    -A material thing, a thing in itself - transaction - relationship in trade - personal monetary force - a social

    monetary power - are the stages through which Money has passed.

    Evolution of Money from Social Thing to Social Power

    Money moving from being a social thing to a social power through steps of transaction and organization, expands,

    extends, becomes refined, grows in productivity, rising to creativity.

    Money as Social Force, Power

    Money As Social Force and Power

    -Money is a social power.

    -Money represents a social force and governs it.

    -Money is a productive power of society.

    -Money has the power to develop new powers in society.

    -Money has the capacity to energize any other productive power of society.

    -Money's productive power enables it to expand.

    Money Increases and Utilizes Energy in Society

    Money increases energy in society and enables that energy to be utilized more efficiently. Before money, people

    had little incentive to produce more than they could consume. Money provides a means for individuals to save the

    fruits of their labor, store them indefinitely, transmute them into any form, transfer them to others or exchange

    them for any other social commodity. In so doing, money releases people's energy and encourages them to work

    harder. Similarly, Internet allows the intellectual work of any individual to reach a far wider audience than is

    otherwise possible and to be more fully utilized by society. It releases mental energy, encourages mental

    creativity, and makes the results of creativity more widely available.

    Aligning with Money's Social Power

    Aligning with Money's Social Power

    If we can widen ourselves and see money related to us as related to the wider social collective, we are part of,

    money will flood all the participants.

    At each point that we are focused on money, expand the perception to self and selfish motives to wider motives

    affecting others.

    The more we perceive the social power of money and align ourselves with that wider social movement in a given

    moment, the more we become instruments for its arrival, both for ourselves and the collectives we are part of.

    Self-Multiplication of Money

    Self-Multiplication of Money through Movement to More Subtle Plane; E.g. Trust

    -There is the outer, visible gross/material plane. That which is not seen is the subtle plane. The vital/emotional

    and interactive with others part of the being is somewhat subtle. The mind is moreso. The spirit most of all.

    -Trust is mostly a mental movement of the mind with a tinge of the vital. It is subtle (whereas a rock is

    gross/material).

    -Self-multiplication of money occurs when there is a movement in society to a more subtle plane and therefore

    view of things. E.g. from vital to mental.

    -Trust is an example of subtle perception of mind, and therefore enables self-multiplication. Moving to higher

    subtlety still, i.e. Spirit, enables ultimate self-multiplication of money.

    Dark and Refined Money

    Dark to Light to Divine Money

    Money can be dark or divine in the extremes. When money is considered greater than Man, it becomes Dark.

    When it becomes an instrument of man, it sheds this quality and becomes Light, refined. When it becomes an

    instrument of the Spirit, it becomes fully Divine Money.

    Money and Spirit

    Why Money is Indispensable for Spirit

    A reader asks why money is indispensible for the life of the Spirit, a point of view expressed often by Sri

    Karmayogi. Here are several thoughts:

    -Money is a means of organizing and expanding our vital, social existence. If our vital life is developed to thepoint of prosperity and well-being, the Spirit has a better soil to flourish in. It is parallel to receiving Grace more

    fully because our nature is more receptive.

    -Money is also a means of creating greater trust in life. That harmonizing aspect, which enables greater social

    interaction and wealth, is spiritual in nature.

    -Thus, money has the potential to foster spiritual values like trust, power, creativity, etc.

    -Money also enables Man to move beyond survival, takes care of the necessities, so that he can develop a richer

    psychological and spiritual life within. The more the physical life is developed, the more the inner life can thrive.

    -Every step in the accumulation of money can be done through Spirit, through consecration of circumstance,

    which allows wealth to quickly expand in all directions.

    -Money is a divine Force in essence. It is Spirit personified in social existence.

    -Money enables the collective to interrelate, cooperate, and integrate. I.e. it is a great Unifying force, which is

    one of the spiritual aspects that the Infinite Divine seeks to manifest in life.

    -Going through the process of accumulating money will reveal all of our defects, which we can overcome, and as

    a result, not only prosper, but grow in the process. It will enable a steady movement in our march towards the

    Spirit.

    12 Points about Money and Wealth

    2. Money is the base for Supermind.

    3. Desire for Money is undesirable; desire is always so.

    5. Enthusiastic work yields Money, wealth, prosperity.

    6. Intelligent work yields greater wealth.

    7. Responsibility and intelligence will enhance results of work.

    8. Values and responsibility will raise the yield of intelligent work.

    9. Money must move lest it be encrusted

    10. It is wealth that makes life a whole and wholesome.

    11. Rishi reaching immutable Brahman eschewed wealth.

    12. Sadhaks trying to reach integral Brahman will be helped by wealth. (MSS)

    Seeing Money as Force Makes It Creative

    Seeing money as a Force will enable us to see that fresh money is being created all of the time. I.e. Money can be

    elevated to a productive point of pure creativity.

    Interplay of Money as Force and Forces of Society

    -See Money as a Force. See its interplay with other forces -- of power, power of knowledge, knowledge of

    government, etc. Focus Money in the force of social progress, and you will see Money holding the central stage ofthe play called Life.

    -We can trace the interplay of money as force to a force of any facet of society. It gives money greater power,

    generating more energy, more directed force, better organized power, yielding new results. E.g. just when the

    credit card appeared where funds can be wired, the Internet (through the computer) appears on the scene to

    enable such credit card movement.

    Measurement Increases the Value of Money

    Measurement and Money

    -Measurement enhances the use value of Money.

    -There does not seem to be any conscious appreciation of the value of tools like the exchange rates, the rate of

    interest etc. even in the economic sector, at least to the point of instituting more of them or streamlining the

    existing one. Comprehension of Money increases considerably this way.

    Money as Scale of Measurement

    Money can be used as a scale of measurement for any endeavor of life, whether conversion of currency, or the

    monetary values one has attained due to high sores in educating testing, or the monetary value of art.

    Money and Trust

    (main)

    Money and Trust

    Money is an expression of individual trust in the collective economic stability that is security.

    Money and Trust

    -Money is actually a form of trust.

    -Money is created by man trusting another and the collectivity. TRUST creates money. TRUST is MONEY. The

    trust can be extended to a greater number of individuals and the measure of trust can be raised.

    -Money must be recovered and put at the Feet of the Divine. Money created by Trust will meet this last

    requirement.

    Trust Rising to Infinite Proportion

    -Money becoming more subtle is more powerful; rising to infinite proportion through invisible trust.

    -When money represents invisible Trust without any medium, it rises to infinite proportion.

    Trust to Spiritual Trust and Infinite Results

    -Now Money represents Trust between individuals, of their government, and social existence. Trust is the most

    durable form of mental energies, of forces. Here Money can travel further. Man can move from current mental to

    Spiritual Trust.

    -Since Spirit and Spiritual Trust are infinite, they are capable of enabling infinite results. E.g., Spiritual Trust in

    transaction can enable this infinite.

    -Man can move from current mental to Spiritual Trust.

    Trust and Self- Multiplication

    How banks introduced multiplication is one point. Trust in the dollar spilling over the border of USA which

    witnessed the phenomenon of self-multiplication is another.

    Money Expansion and Ultimate Trust

    Money is a power of trust. The more trust, the more it circulates. The banking system is one example when they

    lend out money. One extension of this trust power is the availability of micro credits to poor women in Asia.

    Money's ultimate power comes through ultimate trust. When we connect to the deepest realms within, and

    thereby move away from ego and separateness, we enable the greatest trust. I.e., we have the trust of the divine

    in action. In between, many stages and manifestation of trust will appear in society. Those who tap into that will

    prosper beyond their wildest dreams.

    Levels of Trust and Money Power

    Trust has many levels. Basic trust can still have its dark side, enabling wrong. E.g., you can trust me and lend me

    money. I pay back on time, but I use the money for elicit purposes. There is a next shade up where you trust that

    I will not only pay back but use the money for only positive purposes.

    A form of ultimate trust is to give me money to do anything I like with it with trust and intuitive sense that I will

    use it for the best purposes, and I will in turn trust others and do great things with the money, which will enable

    me to pay back the bank with 10 times what it lended.

    In an environment of highest consciousness of non-ego, intuitive sense, ultimate goodness, and use of the Spirit,

    there is ultimate trust that engenders ultimate exchange and money flow.

    Changing the Values of Money Lending Institutions from Within

    The financial institutions give money to the already well off, but they ignore the ordinary people and the poor whocannot get funding for autos, shelter, etc. What can be done?

    There are vast social forces that have been at work in the world over time. In his book Spiritual Opulence,

    Karmayogi calls these the "World Energies." As a result of the currents of history, certain countries have

    prospered, while others have remained behind. The institutions of those poor nations, including the banks, reflect

    the paucity of the social milieu they are part of. They have limited funds and therefore have little to lend.

    In addition, banks have consciously or not subscribed to certain social values which equally determine their

    lending propensities. We see that particularly when it comes to the value of trust. Banks tend to lend to those

    who already are in relatively good condition, and avoid those they believe cannot repay; i.e. whom they do not

    trust to refund their loans. In this way, the negative conditions of haves and have nots is perpetuated.

    And yet, we as Individuals are also capable of shaping our world. There is an infinite Power hidden within us that

    can have a powerful bearing on the conditions of our lives; particularly our immediate circle. However, we are

    also Universal beings who are also capable of eliciting positive response for the collective, including theorganizations and institutions we are part of or partake in. Through inner spiritual means, we can attract positive

    conditions for the world, including the lending propensities of banks. If we open to and add the spiritual Force to

    the dynamic, we can evoke startling positive outcomes from those or related institutions. IT CAN BE DONE. We

    can change the world around us, including the conditions of the widest collective of individuals, including region

    and country, from within.

    Here are a few strategies to change the current impossibilities of the collective into living realities; e.g. changing

    a callous lender to an open, trusting one, who is truly committed to those without, including the poor and the

    common man.

    The first is to see the outer limitation of the lender in a corresponding limitation in ourselves. For example, if I

    discover that I am not a particularly trusting person, and change that attitude, it can evoke positive conditions

    not only for ones self, but it can vibrate out and alter the lending values of the financial institutions around us.

    By changing our attitude within, we evoke a corresponding response by the once reluctant, untrusting, fearful

    lender. If we also add the spiritual Force to the dynamic the results can be overwhelming. I have seen it a

    number of times in my life.

    Another strategy is to actually seek employment in the institution itself, while bringing the spiritual Force to bear

    in those activities. For example, I find employment in a lending institution, rising as manager in the firm, while

    aspiring for the organization to change its lending practices. As a result, life outside us will begin to move. The

    local institution may change; even the whole organization may suddenly see a shift in attitude and values. It may

    then spread throughout the nations and the world.

    A third strategy is to become fully familiar with the money lending habits of the institutions. I.e. to know in detail

    the issues involved, the problems raised, the potential solutions, which formulate in ones mind as an integral

    knowledge regarding the situation. If that matter is offered to the Spirit for transmutation, and our aspiration for

    that change is intense, Life will yield. The intractable problem will suddenly resolve itself. It will appear to occur

    out of the blue, and in the most unexpected ways. I have seen this dynamic at work first hand; evoking several

    spectacular results from the collective that affected millions.

    Keep in mind that banks and similar institutions are also going through their own evolutionary changes. They are

    gradually raising their social values and beliefs; and in this particular case, are extending their trust even to

    those they were once wary of. Micro loans to the poor are an example. Loans to Indian woman are another. When

    the US and world financial system nearly collapsed due to excessive lending, it was ironically due to the fact that

    banks were now willing to lend money to poor people to buy houses in the suburbs in America. It was A

    SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER VALUE on the part of the banks. It only led to disaster because of greed and

    non-regulation of the parties involved across the world financial system. The original value and intent itself

    however was highly laudable.

    There are thus many levels of force at work in the movement of the Energies of Life -- individual, collective,

    cosmic. We can use our inner power as well as that of the Cosmic realms to change conditions for ourselves and

    the collectives we are part of. There are many real-world examples I know of where this has occurred. Others

    might consider it miraculous, but we know it is a practical power of the Individual Self and the Spirit.Recently associates of mine have been working hard to develop a New Economics with the Individual Human at

    the center of life. They have developed much content, and are traveling the world to make this knowledge known

    at various global forums. Several of them are using the spiritual Force to try to gain perfect knowledge in the

    field, as well as move life to adopt their profound insights. Already there are signs that it is having an effect.

    Perhaps the recent upheaval in the Middle East toward democratization and economic opportunity for the

    common man is a result.

    We are capable of moving life around us from within, including any collective, such as a financial institution, so

    long as we develop the intense will to make it happen. This astonishing capacity will become a practical method of

    the future; an indication that we have truly embarked on A New Way of Living.

    Money and Harmony

    The Infinite Power of Harmony

    There are a number of expressions of the Spirit in life. Silence, Being-ness, Truth, Wisdom, Timelessness,

    Infinity, Goodness, Love, Beauty, and Delight are several. Perhaps the most essential and basic is Harmony,

    whose higher expression is Oneness and Unity of being. For the Infinite consciousness, every and all things are

    interlocked in an essential Harmony and Oneness. And yet out of that essential Unity, a universe of infinitely

    diverse forms was created, including we humans. It is the same in our own individual and collective lives. When

    we bring greater harmony to bear through our relationship with others and the world, we generate a vast

    creative power for accomplishment for ourselves and others.

    Take modern day Europe, where the Euro has suddenly become the world's strongest currency. That's the case

    because several nations came together to forge a financial alliance: in essence, a collaborative movement of

    harmony. That harmonic effort has produced a financial instrument that has garnered the greatest respect and

    purchasing power in the world. It is the power that harmony generates that has propelled the Euro to its lofty

    position.

    On the other hand, across the channel, the British have been unwilling to participate in the Euro, putting its own

    purchasing power at risk. Even the mighty US currency has fallen behind the Euro. Subconsciously perceiving the

    power of collaboration and cooperation (two practical expressions of harmony) now the Asian financial community

    is considering a currency of its own. If they adopt it, it will likely generate a (further) boon for that region as well.

    This suggests that a globalcurrency would create infinite-like financial and economic well-being for the world,

    since it would issue from a higher harmony that integrates all nations.

    Wherever harmony is created, energy and power is released. When the colonies of the US came together over

    200 years ago, it resulted in the greatest economic, political, and military power in world history. But it is not

    only nations that gain power when disparate elements come together. So do other collectives -- including

    institutions, businesses, communities, down to the individual family. The more harmony created among theirparts and people, the greater the power and results generated.

    Harmony intensifies the positive bonds between people and things, focusing energy and releasing power for

    accomplishment. We can see this in macro events like nations forming, but also in micro events such as our daily

    work experiences. For example, we have all participated in meetings over the course of our careers. When most

    successful, it is often because a deeper connection and bond was created among the staff -- e.g. through mutual

    respect, by genuinely focusing on the contributions of others, and via collaborative decisions for future action.

    When we come out of these meetings, our energy skyrockets and our work efforts produce impressive results. In

    essence, the harmonic movement has created a new burst of collective energy now shared by each participant --

    enabling individual and collective achievement. Interestingly that success often comes about through instances of

    sudden good fortune.

    Similarly, any two individuals are capable of creating this sort a harmonic bond. For example, greater harmony in

    romantic relationships can produce the deepest form of love between partners. Each lover's willingness to forgethim or herself, adoring the other for its own sake can generate a tidal wave of romantic energy resulting in an

    intense bond and affection that can last a lifetime.

    The opposite of harmony is each party moving in its own direction, focusing on its own interests at the expense of

    the needs of the ''Other," attracting negative conditions. For example, when the fascist juggernaut began to move

    across Europe at the outset of WWII, the ''good" nations were unable to collaborate in any coherent way. That

    lack of harmony strengthened the enemy, who were then able to run roughshod across the continent. It was only

    the extreme collaboration and bravery of the British people, and the cooperative effort of the US and Europe that

    saved the world from that greatest of all evils.

    The question is then how can we be in that state of consciousness that would allow us to be more connected and

    One with life around use. The answer is that the more we live in the deeper parts of our being, rather than the

    surface of life, the greater will be our affinity, connection, and harmony with our surroundings, including the

    people we interact with.

    But how do we move to that silent state, that witness consciousness that would enable to us feel more connected

    with the world and others? We can begin to build that new inner status by constantly opening ourselves to the

    spiritual Force. When we offer and consecrate upcoming activities in our lives, offering that act to the Higher

    Power, not only are the conditions of life quickly set right, but we develop an ever-wider opening to our deeper

    Self. As we come to know those profound Silent and Still parts within, we experience an ever-increasing bond

    with things outside ourselves, including the situations we encounter and the people we interact with. As a result

    of these harmonic experiences, we not only generate a vast power for success, but deep inner joy and fulfillment.

    This being the case, why not ask yourself this: In what areas of my life can I create greater harmony? If you

    determine what that is and then make a sincere effort to bring it about, you will not only generate a vast power

    for accomplishment, but you will experience deep, inner fulfillment, as the separation between yourself and life

    will melt away into a blissful Oneness.

    The Evolution of Money(main)

    Evolutionary Stages of Money

    -A material thing, a thing in itself - transaction - relationship in trade - personal monetary force - a social

    monetary power - are the stages through which Money has passed.

    -Money is originally a transaction that then materialized into an organization.

    Evolution of Money

    Money moving from being a social thing to a social power through steps of transaction and organization, expands,

    extends, becomes refined, grows in productivity, rising to creativity.

    Evolution of Money: Money as Mere Thing, Transaction, Organization and Its Power-When money is a thing -- as perceived by the physical man -- one can only lend the money one has. [''lend the

    money one has?']

    -Money in time became a transaction, which generates some trust.

    -Money becoming an organization. The Coordinated, systematic action of organization generates a greater power.

    Evolution of Money

    -Money which was a thing in the village becomes a transaction in the village between two individuals more

    cultured than the rustic life in the village

    -The result of evolution to urbanism is that money has matured into productive, creative social power.

    What Money Represents at Each Stage in Society

    -The perception of Money as transaction represents vital power of society to relate to one another and enhance

    their respective functions for society.

    -The perception of Money as organization represents the organized power of the society of that period.

    -The perception of Money further on represents the wealth of the society and its power to create Social Power.

    Evolution of Money from Thing in Village to Social Power through Urbanism

    -Money which was a thing in the village becomes a transaction in the village between two individuals more

    cultured than the rustic life in the village

    -The result of evolution to urbanism is that money has matured into productive, creative social power.

    Evolution of Money from Economic, Vital Power to Trust to Its True Nature

    -Money was physical power earlier. Now it is an economic power of productivity; it is a vital power with US as the

    leader.

    -Now money is going beyond even property, on productive power, and is going towards Trust, a vital power based

    on mental understanding.

    -Beyond trust, money power will be created by a mental understanding of what money really is.

    -Whichever country moves this way will be the next center of world power.

    Money in Stages of Survival, Growth, Development

    For coins to be accepted by the population is survival. Growing into all sections of population is growth. (I.e. it is

    the same, expanding.) Being replaced by currency is development. (I.e. it is a change to a higher level.) Money

    that is an article of economic significance beginning to play a social role in politics to secure power is its evolution

    as Money. (I.e. it is a movement to a whole new level.)

    Money As Social Force and Power

    -Money is a social power.

    -Money represents a social force and governs it.

    -Money is a productive power of society.

    -Money has the power to develop new powers in society.

    -Money has the capacity to energize any other productive power of society.

    -Money's productive power enables it to expand.

    Money's Evolution in Society that Becomes Productive Social Power

    Money which was a thing in the village becomes a transaction in the village between two individuals morecultured than the rustic life in the village. The result of evolution to urbanism is that money has matured into

    productive, creative social power.

    -Money that was a medium of exchange becomes productive of social power, as at this stage it represents the

    productive capacity of individuals.

    -Money that travels from person to person, from a phase of old life to a phase of new life collects all these

    influences to constantly mature into a well-ripened social product that is essentially in touch with every aspect of

    life that gave birth to it.

    -As the society grows, Money too grows in its complex content as every other aspect too does. At this primary

    stage, Money is productive. Later when the society becomes creative, Money too becomes creative.

    What Money Represents at Each Stage in Society

    -The perception of Money as transaction represents vital power of society to relate to one another and enhance

    their respective functions for society.

    -The perception of Money as organization represents the organized power of the society of that period.-The perception of Money further on represents the wealth of the society and its power to create Social Power.

    Money's Evolution and Its Impact on Social Progress

    -With every further stage Money becomes a better instrument of social progress representing social aspirations,

    social processes, social structures, social forces, and social capacities.

    -Money is a higher organised entity which is constantly organising itself at greater heights. As it rises, it raises

    the society that uses it.

    Aligning with Money's Social Power

    Aligning with Money's Social Power

    If we can widen ourselves and see money related to us as related to the wider social collective, we are part of,

    money will flood all the participants.

    At each point that we are focused on money, expand the perception to self and selfish motives to wider motives

    affecting others.

    The more we perceive the social power of money and align ourselves with that wider social movement in a given

    moment, the more we become instruments for its arrival, both for ourselves and the collectives we are part of.

    Aligning with Money's Social Power

    We know a variety of ways to bring money to us through sudden good fortune. Greater circulation (i.e. not

    hording it), paying off one's debts, collecting every penny owed, being generous, overcoming selfishness,

    focusing on another's needs, and being calm in the face of a difficult financial matter are but a few ways to attract

    money out of nowhere.From another perspective, we attract money by developing a different orientation toward the meaning and

    purpose of Money itself. Money exists not for mere human consumption or to serve our seperative, individual

    needs, but for wider social purpose -- including greater social development and progress in the world. At the point

    where we change our perspective about Money from being a mere means to an end or just a transaction of

    exchange at the physical level, to it serving a great social purpose and utility at the vital level, we move into

    harmony with its intent in the world. As a result, we open ourselves to it coming in floods from corresponding

    points in space and time.

    Money is a social power. Its purpose is to serve the wider aspirations and values of the collective life. They in turn

    serve to fulfill the Higher Purpose of the Infinite consciousness on earth. Each time we tap into Money power

    through our higher consciousness efforts -- i.e. by making inner, psychological shifts toward the positive -- we

    become instruments for the Infinite and its purposes. By aligning with Money's Social Power, we not only draw

    more of it to us, but we fulfill the Divine intention for ever-greater social progress and evolution on earth.

    11/30

    -Money was born when caste and class -- not talents -- were valued. This creates imbalances in society.

    -Money is an organization that is a social leveler.

    -Money is a social leveler, as other social organizations are -- such as education, transport, sports, etc.

    -Money is an even greater leveler than education, transport, sports, etc. because its activities relate to other

    social functions more readily.

    -Money brings some democracy and equality into Man's life. It dignifies his li fe a bit.

    Money as Social Leveler

    Money made life civilized. Money then enabled vast wealth, but unequal to the rich. But credit saved millions

    from financial ruin, helping the weakest. In this and many other ways, Money is thus a leveler of inequality.

    Money and Power of Strong and Weak in Society

    Money Transfer Power from Weak to Strong, and Vice Versa

    -Money transfer power from weak to strong and vice versa.

    -The transfer is normally in favour of the strong, those who enjoy the social patronage. It is a social transition.

    When the society decides to shift the power from aristocracy to the commoner, Money again acts as aninstrument of transfer of power from the aristocrats to the commoner. Always Money serves the social ideal.

    The Positive and Negative in Society and Money

    Money's Neutrality that Reflects the Social Positive or Negative

    -Money is neutral. Money can act positively or negatively for the society, depending if it is above or below the

    line. Money above the line is a constructive power; below it, destructive.

    -Money is neutral in its constructions, not in its actions. It will act fully positive or negative depending on the

    society's character.

    The Positive and Negative of Society and Money

    Money can be impacted from both sides as a result of the light or darkness of the society.

    -Man can be conscious of the positive and negative capacity of money, avoiding the latter.

    -The positive capacity of Money helps the society forge ahead by relating it to other aspects of society and

    pressing them all to integrate so that the progress can be fast, comprehensive, cover wider distances and produce

    more powerful results.

    -Man can play a CONSCIOUS role in the society preventing Money from seeking the negative experience for its

    maturity.

    Money, Power, Its Control, Aristocracy

    -Money creates property, transfers the social power of the weak who cannot produce or manage their production

    to psychologically strong personalities.

    -Money is an instrument of transfer of capacity that is power. This is an evolutionary role in the society.

    -Money brings power, prestige, and knowledge (through education). This is the aristocracy.

    Anachronistic Forces and Money

    Overcoming Negative Perceptions of New Developments

    We must also be vigilant of opposing forces to new powers of society. (E.g., paper currency was originally opposed

    when it appeared in the US.) Any successful development will complete only when the negative side is faced and

    overcome.

    -Money represents a social force and governs it.

    -Money represents the social valueof productive capacity.

    -Money helps society more fully utilize its resources and create resources that are not there.

    -Money enables the collective to widen itself further in space.

    -Money is an organisation of social energies.

    -Money increases energy in society and enables that energy to be utilized more efficiently.

    -Money organises human energy and its movement across the society in time and space.

    -Money has been inextricably integrated with every existing organisation such as family, community, education,

    army, government, transport and communication, sports, tourism, banking, trade, etc.

    -Money has exhibited this capacity to evolve with the times.

    -Money has evolved from being an economic organisation to social institution.

    Money and Society

    -Money is a symbol of (i.e. represents) social vitality.

    -Money represents all the vitality of social existence, functioning, and life. It represents the vital power of society.

    -Money represents at the start, social products, and moves on to represent the productivity of society.

    -As the productive power of society, Money refines into social, then political, then cultural, then religious, and

    then all the powers of society.

    -To discover the symbolic powers of Money, to know how it has been built up so far and how much more it can be

    raised in the social progress is a rewarding exercise for the emerging Individual.

    -The process by which society evolves and money acquires its power is the same process as the process ofcreation in the universe.

    Multiplication for Individual, Organization, Society

    -The Multiplication of money for individual, organization, society is the same, reflecting infinite potentials in all

    objects.

    -Each of an individual, an organization (like a bank), and society can multiply its wealth to any extent it chooses.

    That multiplication goes on to Self-multiplication.

    Money and Society's Ideal

    Money always serves the social ideal.

    Man's Awareness of the Role of Money for Society

    Money, an inert instrument, cannot become conscious, but Man can become conscious of the role of Money (for

    society).

    Money's Own Social Personality

    Though Money has a social personality that expresses social values, it has its own personality outside social

    existence.

    Money brings its own seminal (determining) existence from Above in that it is a force to sow itself in the soil of

    social life.

    Money Determines Society

    Money is one structure that guides the movements of the society, fixes the foundations of its existence, and

    offers the energy for its changes of growth the society chooses from time to time.

    Negatives, Changes in Society Indicate Need for New Status of Money

    Corruption, high wages, waste, etc. are money outgrowing its structured strength in the society.

    Money, as Personality of Society, Reveals What Gets Done

    Money is the effective social personality of society.

    The society's value about money determines what gets done. E.g. US moves only if the venture will bring

    profitability; Britain if trade is involved.

    Money & Social Transformation

    Money is an agent of social transformation.

    Money, Social Aspiration, and Development

    Money created social aspiration for improvement.

    Money and Organization

    (main)

    Money and Organization

    -Money is an organisation.

    -Moneyorganises the various powers of the society with itself as the centre.

    -Moneyorganises human energy and its movement across the society in time and space.

    -Money has all of the common characteristics of an organization. It facilitates transactions. It helps society more

    fully utilize its resources and create resources that are not there. It is based on standardization and systems. It

    extends enormous benefits to the individual user.

    -The value of money depends directly on the level of this organization. The more developed it becomes, the

    greater the productive power of money.

    -Money has evolved from being an economic organisation to social institution.

    -Money, like any other organisation gradually integrates with every other organisation. Money integrating withcredit expands nine-fold.

    -With every new organisation coming into existence, or every new additional power an organisation acquires, all

    the existing social organisations avail of its benefit to rise further. In this view, the power of money, its

    availability, in quantity and quality has increased. It indirectly means the power of the individual or society to

    Definition of Money

    Money is a vital force representing physical work, under a system created by the mind.

    Money Materialized into Organization

    Money is originally a transaction that then materialized into an organization.

    Money's Evolving Power

    -Money is now many times more powerful than when it was born as a medium of exchange, which means the

    quantity of money has increased since its creation as well as its power of utility has enormously increased.

    -With every new organisation coming into existence, or every new additional power an organisation acquires, all

    the existing social organisations avail of its benefit to rise further. In this view, the power of money, its

    availability, in quantity and quality has increased. It indirectly means the power of the individual or society to

    create money has further increased.

    Money and Subtle Power of Organization

    -Money is capable of giving gross/material objects the power of subtlety because it is a subtle organization.

    -The organization of money lies in the fact that a function has been converted into symbolic money.

    -As money becomes (higher) organization, it can relate to other activities, making it a higher instrument.

    Mind that is Organization Multiplies Money-Agricultural man was physical, and related to money that way. It is a mere thing, a coin. Being physical, he only

    views money as a thing to possess.

    -Mind can multiply because it can organize.

    -Money is essentially a creation of Mind -- and as such, a product of organization.

    -Money organizes what Man produces, and his energy to produce.

    -Mind gives money subtle capacity. It knows that Money not just as a thing, but as a symbol of organization that

    is capable of expansion, multiplication, and even self-multiplication.

    -Money represents the highest formulation of power emerging from integration of organizations.

    The perception of Money as a mere thing represents products for society.

    Plane from Which Money Originates

    -Money is vital. It is a creation [however] of mind.

    Money and Understanding of Organization

    -Money, which is mental organization, rises through greater understanding of that organization.

    -Money is a mental organization of vital power used to relate with each other (?) facilitating the growth of the

    collective by the individual movement.

    -With a wider, stronger, richer understanding of a particular organization, its capacity to create money rises in

    proportion.

    -Through greater understanding, organization becomes creative and it makes ideas creative of Money. Hire

    purchase, insurance, credit card, 60-year house mortgage came into existence this way.

    -When a new organization is born, it gradually integrates with other organizations, creating a burst of energy for

    itself and the other organizations at each point where it integrates. Money integrates, vibrates with, and

    energizes other organizations.

    Money and Organization

    Seeing how Money progressed through organization will reveal enormous potentials for it.

    Seeing Money as Organization

    Seeing money as an organization, we see new organizations created.

    Money Organizes the Social PowersMoney has the power of organising the social powers which the superior individual with psychological talents fail

    to achieve.

    Multiplication of Money

    (main)

    Multiplication of Money

    -Speed of transactions of circulation raises the value of money.

    -As each transaction acts like the function of a bank, it increases the amount and value of money.

    -Time, space, speed, population, productivity, and trust will increase the value of currency and multiply its

    quantity.

    Money Increases Speed of Transactions

    Money increases the frequency and speed of transactions in virtually every field of activity by making it possible

    for people to convert the fruits of their labor into a common currency that could be exchanged for any products or

    services.

    Mind that is Organization Multiplies and Self-Multiplies Money

    -Agricultural man was physical, and related to money that way. It is a mere thing, a coin. Being physical, he only

    views money as a thing to possess.

    -Mind can multiply because it can organize.

    -Money is essentially a creation of Mind -- and as such, a product of organization.

    -Money organizes what Man produces, and his energy to produce.

    -Mind gives money subtle capacity. It knows that Money not just as a thing, but as a symbol of organization that is

    capable of expansion, multiplication, and even self-multiplication.

    -Money represents the highest formulation of power emerging from integration of organizations.

    The perception of Money as a mere thing represents products for society.

    Multiplication of Money

    -Multiplication (in general) comes from a large number who are all related to an act, lending the power of each to

    all, and the power of all to each. This is how banks enabled multiplication of money. (With more members, more

    money can be lent out, circulated, etc.)

    -At a very high level, Man can be conscious of the inner endowments of money, which are much vaster. He sees

    thatall the powers of society are inside; which enables self-multiplication power.

    -Money becoming more subtle is more powerful; rising to infinite proportion through invisible trust.

    -As money becomes more subtle -- i.e. less material and visible -- it becomes more powerful.

    -When money represents invisible Trust without any medium, it rises to infinite proportion.

    Self-Multiplication of Money

    (main)

    Self-Multiplication of Money through Movement to More Subtle Plane; E.g. Trust Key CompositeStatement

    -There is the outer, visible gross/material plane. That which is not seen is the subtle plane. The vital/emotional

    and interactive with others part of the being is somewhat subtle. The mind is moreso. The spirit most of all.

    -Trust is mostly a mental movement of the mind with a tinge of the vital. It is subtle (whereas a rock is

    gross/material).

    -Self-multiplication of money occurs when there is a movement in society to a more subtle plane and therefore

    view of things. E.g. from vital to mental.

    -Trust is an example of subtle perception of mind, and therefore enables self-multiplication. Moving to higher

    subtlety still, i.e. Spirit, enables ultimate self-multiplication of money.

    Self-Multiplication of Money

    -We can create endless quantities of money through the process of self-multiplication.

    -Moving from physical view of money to the trust of mind enables self-multiplication.

    -In the physical plane, money represents property where there is inherent limitation of expansion. At the vital

    level of human interaction and capacity, there is less limitation. At the level of mind, money represents trust.

    -The trust (of mind) can expand infinitely in society to create endless money.

    Money Self-Multiplication

    -Money's capacity to create power of production allows it to self-multiply.

    -Money reached that point in the 1980s, 1990 -- mainly (?) because of the computer and Internet.

    -Every aspect of the society that touches money will energize money further, and they are further energized by

    money.

    Self-Multiplication and the Self of Society, the Individual

    The capacity of Money to self-multiply is limited by the Self of the individual and society; at a further stage to the

    Self of Money, which is Self of all. This is its most valuable aspect.

    High Values toward Money and Its Self-Multiplication Power

    The story of how a single $100 bill gets circulated a dozen times and solves many peoples debts demonstrates the power of Trust, which reflects the

    Power of Oneness. When the Oneness becomes intense -- i.e. when we are not bothered or suspicious of others, but instead fully trust others as well as

    the currency -- not only can a little do a lot, as in the story, but money self-multiplies.

    In America vast hordes of cash without debt are piling up, particularly in Silicon Valley. Well over a trillion US dollars are there building up in the coffers of its

    companies. It is because of Values; values to do the work, -- revolutionary technological work and innovation that aids the society, and not care about the

    money that comes -- which ironically causes it to arrive overwhelmingly.

    Money circulates faster and takes on new dimensions and powers when the Trust amongst the participants increases. A man not attached to money who

    works hard for the collective, will see money come in spades, in unprecedented new ways, particularly in a fresh, dynamic, supportive environment. It is

    because he trusts in the flow of money behind the scenes. Whatever the instrument behind the scene the money takes, he accepts it, because his focus is

    on the work at hand. This is what they do in Silicon Valley to a large extent.In the 500 one-hour Star Trek episodes I've been watching, money is second thought in this future world. Everyone does the work in their chosen field,

    and funds (and other resources) are readily available for anyone in the measure they need it. The values have radically evolved from our current humanity.

    There are high human values associated with Money in the Federation. Still human nature is wanting in other areas, and they are working out those

    karmas, which is what most of the sto ries are about. Yet they have the right general outlook for infinite-like success, for individual and social progress, far

    beyond what we see today in the world.

    Money is a social power that increases with Trust. At a certain point that Trust matures to a point that money self-multiplies. We are now entering that

    territory. It circulates faster and faster, even with little funds, or generates massive funds from little -- as in the story. It enables billions to pile up from

    seemingly out of nowhere as in Silicon Valley.

    However, the message is not to be attached to Money, but instead we should focus on the work at hand, in being self-giving in works, to help others

    derive benefit. How many of us can do the work in that Spirit? We think first about how we can support our families, how we can please them, how the

    entire entity can move up. And yet it is only by forgetting money fo r ourselves and our families, and doing the work in the right spirit, for its own sake, for

    its needs, that attracts hordes of cash and endless opportunities. That attitude and value makes it self-multiply in our sphere of influence. Just ask the

    endless millionaires and billionaires in Silicon Valley.

    Multiplier Effect and Pioneer

    Multiplier effect [in social development] takes place when the pioneer is accepted as a leader.

    Pioneer maturing into leader, it multiplies.

    Leadership multiplies, not pioneering.

    Self-Multiplication through Divinity of Money

    The Divinity of Money is seen in its self-multiplication capacity.

    Money Multiplication

    -Money is created every time it is lent or borrowed.

    -Money multiplies with speed of transaction. When it moves through banks and then is distributed as credit, it

    multiplies ten times or more.

    -Banks create money by loaning it. Money, like any other organisation gradually integrates with every other

    organisation. Money integrating with credit expands nine-fold.

    -The more that system [money is related to] is organized, is developed creatively, the more money can expand.

    -The nations of the world need to circulate their money; i.e. not horde it, to eliminate energy blockage, and to

    enable its multiplier effect to take root.

    Money Self-Multiplication

    -Since the 1980s money is beginning to self-multiply.

    -At the point money enters the subtle plane in a society as a force to be felt, it begins to self-multiply. From 1990

    it is doing so.

    -Money has gone into the phase of self-multiplying. Individuals who understand that phenomenon will be qualified

    to introduce themselves into that phase in their lives.

    -One who is not possessed by money freely spending the money fast through the highest medium existing is one

    who will multiply his money fastest.

    enable its multiplier effect to take root.

    Self-Multiplication of Money

    -The process of self-multiplication is the process of the parts coming alive in the play of the whole.

    -Self -multiplication follows the principle inside, when the separated many join together in union in oneness

    which releases the Power of the Self.

    Subtle Money Rising to Infinite Proportion

    -Money becoming more subtle is more powerful; rising to infinite proportion through invisible trust.

    -As money becomes more subtle -- i.e. less material and visible -- it becomes more powerful.

    -When money represents invisible Trust without any medium, it rises to infinite proportion.

    Multiplication and Self-Multiplication

    -How banks introduced multiplication is one point. Trust in the dollar spilling over the border of USA which

    witnessed the phenomenon of self-multiplication is another.

    -The Euro's value rising due to increasing membership in EU, and the growth in the population (of an area) is

    another point of Self-multiplication.

    Trust to Spiritual Trust and Infinite Results

    -Now Money represents Trust between individuals, of their government, and social existence. Trust is the mostdurable form of mental energies, of forces. Here Money can travel further. Man can move from current mental to

    Spiritual Trust.

    -Since Spirit and Spiritual Trust are infinite, they are capable of enabling infinite results. E.g., Spiritual Trust in

    transaction can enable this infinite.

    -Man can move from current mental to Spiritual Trust.

    Self-Multiplication and Self

    Multiplication accepts the external energy, the external form and the external field. Self-Multiplication transfers

    the external to the internal, the social to the psychological, and changes from Nature to Self.

    Creative Capacity of Money(main)

    See Money as Force to Make Money Creative

    -Seeing money as a Force will enable us to see that fresh money is being created all of the time. I.e. Money can be

    elevated to a productive point of pure creativity.

    -Seeing money as an organization, we see new organizations created.

    Creative Power of Money

    -Money moving from being a social thing to a social power through steps of transaction and organization, expands,

    extends, becomes refined, grows in productivity, rising to creativity.

    -Money can be creative in ways that create more of it, or of a higher order.

    -Money can be socially creative to raise the quality of any other sector.

    Money's Creative Capacity

    -At junctures in money's progress, new productive or creative surprises emerge.

    -Money brings a surprise through its inherent productivity or innate creativity.

    Creative Power of Money

    Being conscious [of money] is not mere horizontal expansion, i.e. more of the same (growth), but enables vertical

    creative expansion of it.

    Dark/Black, Refined Money

    Dark to Light to Divine Money Key Composite Statement

    Money can be dark or divine in the extremes. When money is considered greater than Man, it becomes Dark.

    When it becomes an instrument of man, it sheds this quality and becomes Light, refined. When it becomes an

    instrument of the Spirit, it becomes fully Divine Money.

    Spiritual Aspects of Money

    -Spiritually, money is a force of the Divine. An unceasing in-flow of money will begin when the money we use is

    fully supported by all the Spiritual values.

    -Sri Aurobindo calls Money a divine force. It is now in the hands of dark forces, to be won back by the spiritual

    aspirant.

    -Money created by Trust will meet this last requirement.

    Moving Beyond Dark Money through Higher Consciousness

    The vibration of the stock market is not trust, but greed. Still money circulates. That is because there is trust in

    the mechanism, the system. Still it is based on values of self-interest and selfishness. Thus there is what might

    be called a degree of Dark Money (with some light). As a result, there is periodic failure -- as in the Great

    Depression, Do-Com bust, unpredictable ups and downs, etc. Circulation, exchange based on deep human values,

    based on ultimate trust rooted in goodness, in the Divine vibration is Self-existent, i.e. it produces no dark side.

    Even the stock market can evolve into this.

    Reversing Dark, Black Money

    -When Man believes that Money is a greater power than Man, he has crossed over the line, made the inversion

    that leads to trouble. He becomes the slave of Money. We can call these instances, 'Black Money.'

    -If Man reverses the inversion towards Black Money, the problem it created will go away.

    Refined Money

    -Refined money can be thought of as the opposite of dark money.

    -Money is most refined when it becomes a Divine instrument.

    -Refined money can refine any other sector in which it operates.

    Capitalism, Socialism, and Current Financial Crisis

    Capitalism whose death signals were rung in 1825 first shifted its arena to Money. Socialism operating through

    democracy can stave off the crisis. It is a provisional solution to the malady, not a final resolution. (MSS) [Man,

    not Money at center of life, and values issuing from it, is the solution.]

    Seeing Money as Mere Currency

    Money is products, productivity, and capacity to work, not currency. Currency is just paper. (To see currency asreality invites trouble.)

    Need for International Regulators

    (in light of 2008 financial crisis) The international financiers bought up US subprime mortgages for speculation

    purposes. Money came pouring into the US believing such mortgages were a safe bet. But they weren't. The

    mortgages were offered in a way to fuel the monetary return of the financiers. The loans terms seemed generous

    in the short-term, but were usurious and fraudulent after several months' payment considering the ultimate

    intention of greasing the return for the international financiers.

    There is currently some regulation over speculative monetary activity of US financiers, though not enough. There

    also needs to be international regulation of such global speculation as well. What is needed is a World Regulatory

    body, and soon. The Federal Reserve in the wake of abuse that led to the Great Depression serves the role to

    stabilize finances in the US. It has decent if not perfect success. There is no such body for the world, for the

    international flow of money -- threatening abuse, and the greater nemesis of global panic and depression.

    Solutions to World Financial Crisis

    1. A World Fed must be put in place because there is no international control of wild investing.

    2. Man -- the human individual -- not money must move to the center of life.

    3. Greed and speculation brought about the Great Depression and opened the door to Hitler and WWII leading to

    70 million dead. This must change, or we are destined to repeat, but in a New Way.

    4. Ego is the cause of greed and our unwillingness to change. It is at the root of all selfishness, which is in every

    one of us. That must change.

    5. Rampant materialisms must come to an end, ushering in higher human and spiritual values.

    6. Unfortunately, disastrous circumstance is the fastest way to change things; to overcome our fixed ways that do

    not want to change. If we dont take to several of the suggestions above, then life will brutally do it for us, forcingus to change. It is Nature's (i.e. Life's) painful method.

    Corruption

    Transition from California Gold Rush to UN and Silicon Valley

    After the Gold Rush in California in 1849 there was unbelievable corruption, debauchery, and criminal activity

    amongst the people who arrived from fifty nations. Only a series of disasters overcame their virulent physical

    consciousness. It disappeared almost completely 150 years later, when downriver emerged the United Nations

    and Silicon Valley.

    On Overcoming Corruption

    -Corruption is not a disease, but a symptom of faster social development than the social structures can support.

    -Obviously prosperity emerges first and the restraining social structures later.

    -Corruption will finally disappear only when man develops self-respect out of education and prosperity.

    (Karmayogi, extracted)

    Money and the Individual

    (main)

    Valuing the Individual and Money

    Valuing the Individual and Rise of Money

    -The rising individual's value raises the supply of money in the country.-The rising value of the Individual raises the human value of the currency.

    -As we move more and more to the recognition of the value of the individual, money power accelerates. It moves

    toward infinity when we recognize the value of the Psychological and Spiritual Man.

    -The more society has come to recognize the inherent value and potential of the human being, the more

    productive the individual, society and money have become.

    -America is valued in her financial position, thus money moves to her in buckets. The individual is trusted and

    thus valued through these system of banking deposits and loans. It creates self-multiplication. Thus, money

    moves toward that which is valued.

    -The ultimate foundation for the value of money is not material wealth but the value of human beings.

    The Individual's Consciousness and Money

    Individual Consciousness and Money

    -Mentally, humans are slaves of money.

    -One who does not focus his value on money, can possess it; while one who values it is possessed by it.

    -The highest medium through which money can pass for the highest growth is the consciousness of man who is

    not possessed by money.

    -The centre of life is MAN and not MONEY, but money has usurped that power and man is a willing tool it its

    hands which is his own creation.

    -As money makes one produce the maximum he can create, money becomes an instrument for the individual to

    maximise his effort and through it his being.

    -Money has gone into the phase of self-multiplying. Individuals who understand that phenomenon will be qualified

    to introduce themselves into that phase in their lives.

    From Ego to Money as Social Power

    -Man is a slave to money.

    -If Man sees Money as a social power rather than merely as an instrument of his own selfishness and ego, he will

    have all the money he needs or wants, and money power will explode across the world.

    Money and the Positive & Negative of the Individual

    -Money can integrate with positive or negative forces of society.

    -Money is neutral; i.e. not inherently good or bad. Only people (and their character) make it so.

    -Man can change his character, consciousness to overcome dark money, enabling life to respond positively

    -One who has earned money wrong -- evading taxes, through bribery, anti-social behavior, etc. -- can reverse his

    consciousness.

    -If an individual changes himself inwardly and submits to an organization, the change from earning dark money

    to white will become permanent.-If man changes his character, money will only produce, will have a white character.

    -Money can integrate with positive or negative forces of society.

  • 7/28/2019 The Nature, Evolution, And Future of Money (Roy Posner)

    20/30

    -The individual seeking money must really try to be NOT what he is.

    -Use rational thought; do not seek to possess, or seek comfort; do what life gives, not what we wish; don't

    complain about others, only of your own limited nature; be self-giving and aspire that others have luck; see that

    the outer is a refection of your inner condition; etc. An individual will make tons of money if he does so.

    -He needs to be sincere in his efforts. He must have sincerity of emotional understanding with respect to money

    values in his mind. Doing so, all money due to his consciousness will move towards him. The inner sincerity will

    be reflected in outer response from life.

    Not Seeking It Attracts Higher Order Money

    Money of a higher order comes to a man who does not seek it.

    Money and the Individual

    To discover the symbolic powers of Money, to know how it has been built up so far and how much more it can be

    raised in the social progress is a rewarding exercise for the emerging Individual.

    Aligning with Wider Social Sphere in Our Relationship to Money

    At the point we see money as benefitting all around us, instead of just ourselves, we become an instrument for

    money's arrival for ourselves and parties we are related to.

    If we can widen ourselves and see money related to us as related to the wider social collective, we are part of,

    money will flood all the participants.

    At each point that we are focused on money, expand the perception to self and selfish motives to wider motives

    affecting others.

    The more we perceive the social power of money and align ourselves with that wider social movement in a given

    moment, the more we become instruments for its arrival, both for ourselves and the collectives we are part of.

    The Spiritual Individual and Money

    The Spiritual Individual and Money

    -The Spiritual Individual cannot rest satisfied with anything less than infinity, immensity of Money -- which can

    be billions or more.

    -The spiritual individual must aim for the highest to attract vast money.

    The Spiritual Individual and Spiritual Trust

    A Spiritual Individual can know and experience Spiritual Trust.

    Individual Self and Self-Multiplication

    Multiplication accepts the external energy, the external form and the external field. Self-Multiplication transfers

    the external to the internal, the social to the psychological, and changes from Nature to Self.

    Effect of Money on the Individual

    Money and Evolution of the Individual

    Through money, the lone individual comes to relate to another and begins to know social value. He becomes

    more selfless.

    Money Can Help Create More Conscious Individuals-The individual who organizes his consciousness changing money from a social power to a pure force to a divine

    force

    -Money can enable man to become the spiritual individual

    -Money can discharge the encumbrances of property and endowments, further advance Man and enable him to

    become the Spiritual Individual.

    Trace Transformation of Individuals Relative to Money

    Trace the transformation demanded of the participants. E.g. the New York slums where men in seven weeks

    moved to middle class. Or, look at the boat man turning into a steel magnate. Stingy men in this journey should

    have changed into generously spending lavish barons.

    Collective Power of Money Harnessed by Individual

    Money as Collective Power that Can Be Harnessed by Individual

    -Money is a collective power that the Individual is ready to harness enabling infinite money Force for him.

    -Aspects of collective evolution can be traced for Money, and be given to the individual.

    -The capacities of money in the collective can be harnessed by the individual, enabling man to produce money at

    -With this collective power of money in hand, the individual will no longer be the slave of money as he is now.

    Man is a slave to money.

    The Divine, Spiritual Aspects of Money(main)

    Spiritual Aspects of Money

    -Spiritually, money is a force of the Divine. An unceasing in-flow of money will begin when the money we use is

    fully supported by all the Spiritual values.

    -Sri Aurobindo calls Money a divine force. It is now in the hands of dark forces, to be won back by the spiritual

    aspirant.

    -Money created by Trust will meet this last requirement.

    Attracting Infinite Money as Agent of the Divine

    The Divine seeks individuals who are willing to fully accomplish, with all their energy, skills, and strength to

    produce vast results, and yet place it at the foot of the Spirit. This is no shrinking but a full living, where the

    underlying value is self-givingness to the Divine.

    Imagine a salesperson who makes a full, persevering effort to reach the top for the purpose of putting all of his

    money at the foot of the Divine. It sounds impossible in one sense because we are trained to work for our own

    self-interest; to care for our children, our families. But it is possible because with this Higher Spiritual Value, the

    family will be provided for in spades, and the money will accumulate and circulate beyond belief. The Force will

    make it so.

    For a few, they can transcend the normal family life and live only for the Divine. That is possible too. There

    money accumulation will approach infinity if the drive and will is there to greatly accomplish.

    Spiritual Qualities of Money

    Money brings its own seminal (determining) existence from Above in that it is a force to sow itself in the soil of

    social life.

    Money as Social, Divine Force and Power

    -Money is a social power. Money is a crude unrefined vital force. Money is now a social force. It can outlive

    dependence on society and become a pure force, eventually a Divine force.

    -Money is a quantifiable, transferable, storable preservative of social force. When Money is a spiritual Force, it

    will be won from the dark forces that now control it.

    Money as Divine Money

    -Man thinks he is after money in a way that fulfills his ego-purpose, but what we are secretly yearning for is

    Divine Money.

    -Though he seeks money through his low consciousness, money secretly represents the Divine, the ultimate

    consciousness.

    Why Money is Indispensable for Spirit

    A reader asks why money is indispensible for the life of the Spirit, a point of view expressed often by Sri

    Karmayogi. Here are several thoughts:

  • 7/28/2019 The Nature, Evolution, And Future of Money (Roy Posner)

    22/30

    -Money is a means of organizing and expanding our vital, social existence. If our vital life is developed to the

    point of prosperity and well-being, the Spirit has a better soil to flourish in. It is parallel to receiving Grace more

    fully because our nature is more receptive.

    -Money is also a means of creating greater trust in life. That harmonizing aspect, which enables greater social

    interaction and wealth, is spiritual in nature.

    -Thus, money has the potential to foster spiritual values like trust, power, creativity, etc.

    -Money also enables Man to move beyond survival, takes care of the necessities, so that he can develop a richer

    psychological and spiritual life within. The more the physical life is developed, the more the inner life can thrive.-Every step in the accumulation of money can be done through Spirit, through consecration of circumstance,

    which allows wealth to quickly expand in all directions.

    -Money is a divine Force in essence. It is Spirit personified in social existence.

    -Money enables the collective to interrelate, cooperate, and integrate. I.e. it is a great Unifying force, which is

    one of the spiritual aspects that the Infinite Divine seeks to manifest in life.

    -Going through the process of accumulating money will reveal all of our defects, which we can overcome, and as

    a result, not only prosper, but grow in the process. It will enable a steady movement in our march towards the

    Spirit.

    Self-Multiplication through Divinity of Money

    The Divinity of Money is seen in its self-multiplication capacity.

    Trust to Spiritual Trust and Infinite Results

    -Now Money represents Trust between individuals, of their government, and social existence. Trust is the most

    durable form of mental energies, of forces. Here Money can travel further. Man can move from current mental to

    Spiritual Trust.

    -Since Spirit and Spiritual Trust are infinite, they are capable of enabling infinite results. E.g., Spiritual Trust in

    transaction can enable this infinite.

    -Man can move from current mental to Spiritual Trust.

    Spiritual Strategies Towards Money

    There are many strategies for right handling of money, such as letting it circulate instead of hoding it, paying off

    all debts, collect all money due, not to be possessed and preoccupied by it, not to be greedy (be generous), do the

    work at hand and not concern with income, etc. These will attract money, and cancel negative conditions relatedto it.

    Here are several additional spiritualstrategies toward money.

    Consecrate any transaction related to money. I.e. make it a self-offering to the Divine. The Force will act.

    See money as a Divine power, and aspire for its manifestation on earth to bring divine benefits -- to enable Truth

    and Conscious life in the world.

    See money and its transactions as the instrument of the coming spiritual supramental unfolding in life.

    Develop the Vision of Brahman, of the absolute unity and integration of Spirit and Matter, of the Unmanifest and

    Manifest, of the One and the Many, the Being and Becoming, and see money and your transaction as a reflection

    of that unity and power.

    Go within to the Psychic, i.e. one's the evolving soul, which will enable you to develop ultimate trust in others,

    society in all ways related to money transactions.

    Be completely self-giving in all manners related to money.

    List out and give up every negative attitude and value you have towards money.

    Feel spiritual strength in all money matters. I.e. you have infinite quantities at your disposal. No small matter

    related to money will make you fear or cower.

    Visualize the Divine Mother as the owner of the money; or accumulating ever more money for the sake of the

    progress of the earth.

    economics.

    -The creative energy that multiplies money is with the New Force, not anything that is old in any guise.

    -It requires observations of Money as a social vibration that energized, organizes, and newly creates it.

    -As an organization, we have to see how Money integrates, vibrates with, and energizes other organizations.

    -We see how Money impacts at every point: e.g. against the hard crust of vital vested interest or material

    darkness, to let the infinite emerge.

    -We can see this if we have insight, all the way up to intuition.

    Our Perceptions of Money Releases Its Infinite Capacity

    -Money can move to infinity based on the level we perceive.

    -When perceived as a mere thing, money eludes us. When it is perceived as a transaction, it comes to a strong

    person with an outgoing attitude. When it is perceived as organization, it comes to a person with a strong inner

    organization. When it is perceived Further on, the wealth of the society and its power to create Social Power

    comes.
