  Hi folks, thanks for the replies. Hi out of the blue, thanks for posting that information and yes i have seen some of Marshall's work and this may be considered an expansion of it in a way. Hi Shelly, thanks for your thoughts, I would say that we at this point in time most definitely need others for our joy. We need farmers to grow our food, unless you have a large plot of land to grow your own food, which most do not. However your point about manipulation is essentially the same as regulation or control of our interactions, though this control has become organized into large structures and these structures have worked very hard to make us dependent upon them in many various forms, not just money or fiat. More to come, thanks for your interest.
  peace love light

  Very interesting thoughts and of course money plays a major role in our interactions... i would say we base most of our interactions with others upon this false medium... sad, but true...
  ....we are a product of our environment.... if we didnt use money, we would behave on a completely different basis...

    Hi Violet Ray
    
    You raise an intersting topic. It's all about energy exchange between people and money is just another form of energy humans exchange for the purpose of surviving and thriving on earth and essential for co-existence but it is the imbalance of this energy that causes us problems. Of course we thrive on this fundamental energy exchange in our daily lives because we are pure energy and unelss we live in pure isolation, this energy exchange will continue because we are all connected by a fine thread but lasting happiness comes from inner engineering & fine tuning without influence of another.
    
    Losing connection with the divine and being enslaved to money, i.e. looking at it with fear (scarcity or greed) requires a conscious shift within us. If money is energy why can't we step out of the old paardigm of the fear/greed economy for just a few seconds and think of money as love...after all it is just another energy exchange. This can help help our own economic well-being and if we change our own thoughts about money from fear and greed to love and peace, we will begin to pass money imbued with the energy of love out into the world's economy. Money flows through the world like blood flows through the body. Whether we like to admit it or not, money is the blood of the planet..when we heal the money we will heal the planet. Just like we change our thoughts towards food and water with loving thoughts, we can do the same with money. I do believe unless we change our attitude towards it, we will not find personal peace and will continue to be slaves to one another at a personal level and global level.
    
    At this stage in my life I have finally realised that I am the source of my own happiness because any other sort of pursuit is temporary and besides why place the burden on another to make me truly happy.Of course, I have wonderful moments and good times shared with others but it's temporary compared to the the constant state happiness I am capable of feeling by myself.
    
    Most of the time it's the simple practice of gratitude as opposed to maintaining an attitude of entitlement, for not only does it inspire others but brings an inner smile to me.
    
    A lot of the time people love others not for who they are but for how they make them feel which is why relationships never really live up to anyone's expectations but man and woman will continue to be enslaved in co-dependent relationships because of the yin and yang currency.
    
    People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates and the biggest self-discovery for me is when I realised that we I can CHOOSE to be happy right in this moment. All other forms of happiness showered upon us by others is truly transient.
    
    Even freedom is a package deal, it comes with responsibilities and consequences and no is truly free even to fully express what we believe. I witnessed people being arrested & carried away by police at Hyde Park Corner, the cradle of free space, for speaking their truth. Ultimately there is only one freedom and that is freedom of the mind..'Two men look out of the same prison bars, one sees the mud and the other sees the stars'..some prisoners have managed to find freedom behind bars while others have becomes prisoners of their own minds roaming free.
    
    Look forward to your expanding thoughts. Blessings
