If Money Is An Illusion Then How Does it Make The World Go Round?

If Money Is An Illusion Then How Does it Make The World Go Round?

If money is an illusion then how does it make the world go round? I have to admit it, I am currently researching for my next book to follow Money Farm. This kind of reasearch has blown my mental vault open to a whole new range of concepts in crypto-currency. The subject fascinates me and bemuses me at the same time. If you consider the fact that the amount of money registered does not actually correspond to physical money then you already have an understanding of the mass illusion that we all buy in to. When you discover that money is manufactured by central banks to loan to governments then you wonder - who owns the central banks?

In the book Sapiens, the author refers to the imagined concept. We, as the mass, all 'buy' in to money because it is how our system runs. It ties in with our conditioning, society and conformity. In days gone by there were shells, precious stones and various other spheres of trade. Each exchange type was set up to enable trusted purchases. The thing is, since the financial world has become a series of endless financial messages, pretty much every payment can be registered and traced. This then raises the question of privacy, finacial control and power. Who really owns the money and why do people apply their own intrinsic worth to the amount of money in the bank?



The financial system will always be in a state of digital development and imagine this, crypto-currencies challenge the regulated system. They were originated because a few very clever chaps/chapettes wanted to have a currency that enabled a trusted private exchange. They intended to be able to spend, exchange and purchase without the beedy Big-brother eyes upon them. Of course the uncontrolled system was sneered at in its infancy; however, that sneer would soon vanish when the world began to take crypto-currencies seriously.  When the crypto-currency value increased at an unprecedented rate, many of the get-rich quick factions jumped on the merry financial bandwagon. That became the issue and is an issue for financial institutions who are constantly finding new ways to deflect technological infiltration and cyber attacks. The speed of technological development, cyber factions and fraud attacks have become rife. This also affected the crypto-currencies. Those magnificent brains who developed such concepts had the equal opposite brains attempting to break and steal the currencies they created. Don't you find it strange that digital strings of code drive people to make such attempts to steal? Maybe money isn't the root of all evil, maybe man needs a simple motivation to be evil. Anyway I deviate, the point is we are all connected by money. Most money is now simply a digital code. It moves around the world in codes. Trillions of little digital strings leap through ether and arrive at their new financial destination only to be transformed into another digital code that will no doubt take a digital journey to another bank account. This is why money is an illusion. What would happen if the codes broke? What would happen if there came a point where there was no more capacity for any more codes to move? Fascinating eh? So the question: if money is an illusion then how does it make the world world go round can be answered. The imagined monetary illusion doesn't make the world go round instead that financial illusion circumnavigates the world daily and enables a finacial belief system that each individual accepts as real. The better question would be 'what needs to happen to enable the best, trustworthy and fairest trade mechanism?'  Deep eh? That is what happens when I start exploring concepts that take Money Farm's original concept to the next level. 


MONEY FARM  by R. Allure 
Publisher's Summary
How do you feel about the value of your life being based on the amount of money sitting in your bank?
If we are all inter-connected by money, then why do so few people pay attention to how money works? Fear and denial are perfect for generating debt and that is what the world is run on.
Now imagine, if in the future, one financial institution became so powerful that it could choose to eradicate the present monetary system. Then what happens?
M.O.N.E.Y. is that institution, an institution that chooses absolute self-sufficiency, no debt and reconditions its people into making them the ultimate they can be - an elite force of great minds focused on building the new system - the new M.O.N.E.Y. The thing is for the world to accept their conditions they intend to intentionally throw everyone into complete financial collapse. So what happens when the Brave New World becomes our financial reality?

Our Greatest Challenge

No matter how perfect people's lives appear, behind the scenes people are being challenged. They may smile and say the right things yet underneath there is usually some emotional challenge taking place. The truth is life is an evolving energy that places sequences of events in a person's life path that will challenge them and make them grow (that is if they take up the challenge).

So what is your greatest challenge? How come some people have less challenges than others? Why do some people struggle while others simply seem to waft from one easy situation to another? I have spent years trying to figure this out. Could there be an underlying plan for each individual? Is there really karma? Does an astrological chart hold any secrets or understanding?

The thing that I have realised is that the people who have been most challenged have become increasingly authentic. They know their limitations, they know what they are capable of and often these people have more compassion and empathy for others. Have you noticed there are people who have had it easy and just don't seem to be able to connect with others or even consider how others feel? It is all about them. There are those who have been through life's wrangler and will be there for those souls who need help at the precise moment. What is it that makes them so helpful? In my opinion, it is often their depth of life experience.

So with all this in mind, what is the our greatest challenge? In my humble opinion, the greatest challenge is to 'become', to be the true and authentic self. To be able to embrace our shadow: the bad, the ugly and the downright awful. Once we have faced our inner dark vault and all the monsters then we can accept ourselves. Once we unite the denied fragments of self we can share our whole selves with the world. So what do we need to do to find these fragments? There are many techniques; however, my favourites are energetic work, emotional journeying, network spinal analysis, psychoanalysis and emotional freedom techniques. The thing is the world is often telling us what is wrong with us, it is not right or wrong, they are just parts of self. What many people don't realise is that everyone has those same characteristics in them somewhere. That is what makes us human. What's more, when we suppress these aspects of self we give them power. The suppression travels across society and that suppression builds anger and aggression and perpetuates fear. Yet when we accept and resolve anger and understand how it arises when we are out of control, then we begin to have tools to grow and to become.

So the question is are you willing to take on the challenge and unite the parts of you to 'Become'.

Learning When To Switch Off!

Isn't it funny how life moves so fast and there are times when you are like hang on September is drawing close! How did that happen? It is nearly Autumn and have we even processed that we have been experiencing summer? The thing is life moves fast, we move fast and that fast keeps us in a state of hyper-alert. Have you noticed how many people get ill as soon as they have a holiday? There you are lying around the pool with a hot sun slowly baking you and you hear a sneeze. A summer cold or is that person's body simply saying right now we are relaxing we can rebuild?
Image result for rest and recharge


The thing is we all want to experience life and everything life has to offer. We are primed to succeed and work very very very hard so we can have all that we want. Yet there has to be a time when one literally stops and switches off. The way I look at this is this 'switching off' is like hitting the re-set button. If you don't switch off or take a break then what will happen to you? Well I spent the morning with a fascinating marketing chap and he talked about how he worked and worked and worked and forgot to have a break for a couple of years and that is when the burnout took him to the ground. He literally could not function on any level.

So with that in mind, and in my opinion, it is worth knowing when it is time to switch off, have a rest and allow yourself to rest and recuperate. It is during these times that we recharge, refuel and are ready for the next challenge. There will always be more challenges... It is a case that you need the energy to be able to enjoy them.

What Do You Want to Bring To The World?


What Do You Want to Bring To The World?



So many times truly talented people give up and don't share their brilliance with the world. Yesterday this topic came up in conversation with some great friends and we discussed how some people have such talent yet because they don't make money from it, they simply give up and stop sharing that talent with the world. One chap I know is hilarious, he would be a brilliant stand-up comedian, he has us all in hysterics, yet because he has not made money from it he decided to give up. Yet when he starts being humorous he lights up and affects us all. This then got me thinking... What is it that we want to bring to the world? Whatever that talent, skill or passion is - please share it and enjoy sharing it. Not everything has to make money. Money is a piece of paper with a stranger's face on it... Why would you give up your passion because someone does not give you a piece of paper for it? Yes it would be wonderful to become a millionaire because of our talents, yet there are more important things in life - the feelings of joy, passion, love and infectious enthusiasm to name but a few... So with that in mind: what is it that you desire to bring to the world? What positive can you use to add value?

With that in mind, I made another little animation to remind all those talented people to share their light with the world. I will share it here and on Facebook. If you know someone who needs to be reminded that their talent is worth sharing then please share the film with them... It is really lovely when you feel other people see your talent and you are not wading through resistant tar alone... There are times when everyone wants to give up... We just need a little push to keep going:)

How to feel amazing using gratitude...

How to feel amazing using gratitude...


I will be honest when people talked about gratitude and feeling gratitude, I was like oh here we go... Let's all dress up like fairies, dip a carrot in some humus and sniff our hairy armpits... Yep, that was what went on my head. With all this 'new age' stuff, I feel that there has to be an air of cynicism because otherwise we would all buy into every bit of crap that was fed to us. The next thing we  know is that we would launch ourselves off cliffs like lemmings...



So then came gratitude... You are having a rubbish day and then you need to be grateful for it... Hmm. I read a fantastic book on Spiritual Bypassing which discusses the psychology of spirituality. It certainly put a few things in perspective for me. Yet gratitude has constantly caught my attention. I also read about the water http://www.masaru-emoto.net/english/water-crystal.html
Take a look at how water crystals are affected by the feeling put into them.



Look how beautiful the crystal becomes when someone feels gratitude by it. So considering this I thought well, eighty percent of my body is made up of water, so if I feel gratitude for an amount of time then the water crystals will shift because the energy of my thoughts is moving through them. Having a logical background, and a definite capacity at full scepticism, I thought I would try it. So I dedicated ten whole minutes to laying down and focusing on saying thank you and breathing into my heart and feeling gratitude. So, and yes I am sharing this, I would usually be quite embarrassed about admitting such an experiment; however, I did say that I would share my findings on finding inner calm, bliss and all that lovely stuff. So.... I laid down, set my mobile for a gentle alarm call for fifteen minutes. I knew my mind would have a bit of a rebellion before going completely into it. So I laid and I counted my breaths until I was calm and focused on saying thank you and feeling the word gratitude to see what happened in my body... Oh I descended into a lovely place and.... I laid an egg.... No I didn't really. I felt like my body was illuminating. After a minute of focusing on feeling thank you I felt as though light filled my body. I kept going and my body felt light and relaxed. Then something even lovelier happened, I felt my heart open... I felt so alive and grateful about being grateful. I considered all the things I felt grateful for and it was as if a dam burst. I really felt lovely. I kept going and going and could have gone on feeling that way for hours. Eventually my alarm went off and pulled me back to reality, yet I felt so positively charged. It really was the most amazing feeling and it was achieved just a couple of minutes after I decided to give it a go. It then occurred to me that to feel absolutely amazing I simply needed to take myself off for ten minutes, do a few breaths to become calm and then focus on saying thank you in my mind and feeling gratitude. Honestly... It was beautiful and I highly recommend it.

So.... Me being 'the happiness experimenter' that I am... Thought well, it is all very good when you are feeling relatively good, but what about when you are feeling stressed. So... I had a stressful day at work, came home, took a few breaths and focused on 'Thank You,' and gratitude. In all honesty the first few minutes were like facing a mind storm and then in settled. It is like I passed through the storm and arrived at that same beautiful place where life flooded my veins and rather than feel closed, I felt open. It was amazing. So then the question popped into my mind. What if I dedicated ten minutes per day to feeling that way... And then something even better happened. WHAT IF I DO IT BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP OR WHEN I WAKE UP!!! Oh try it... see what happens because for me, it changed my whole approach to the day. Where grumpiness had been the default state, well, it was replaced with calm and loveliness. So I admit it... I have taken to dipping carrots in humus and developing a real sense of gratitude because I tell you - gratitude brings joy and magnetises great things to you... You can thank gratitude for this blog too. It was while feeling gratitude I felt the desire to share my calm and peaceful findings with others because I was grateful for feeling such a nice feeling I wanted to be able to share it with others!

Have a lovely day!
