The world economy is shaken by a major crises causing unemployment, poverty, hunger and despair for millions. At the same time the climate conference is almost breaking down, as the leaders of the world can’t make the equation balance between economically growth and a cut down on CO2 outlet!
We all know the risk at stake, but how can we stop expanding our needs in a market, where media constantly tells us to consume more? We know from biology that growth in a ecological closed system, as the earth, has a predictable curve, but we still go ahead blindfolded towards self made extinction! Here is the growthcurve of microorganisms in a closed ecosystem:
In the so called “New Economy” , we leave it all up to the market and the prospect of growth and consumption, hoping that the model of the western countries will solve everything, even if scientists and alternative economists tells us that the equation is impossible to balance with the present direction of development! Anyone who have visited the “undeveloped” countries can tell, that it’s simply impossible that every family in India, China, Indonesia, Africa and so forth own and use a car; and yet, this is precisely what everybody wants, inspired of western media through satellite broadcasting!
So, can we get any help from the perspective of karma and reincarnation? How can we balance the equation?
We need to go back to basis, to understand the cosmic fundamentals of economy. In the natural ecological setup, the universe is abundant and generous. Nature provides food and shelter to animal life, so it survives millions of years.
The difference in human conduct, is that we at a certain point think we can claim land as our own ! It’s the instinct of territory boosted by intelligens, that makes man want more than he needs, the same phenomena that changes simple trade of equal value for equal value into modern buisness of highest value for lowest value. And the trade unit we call money, is a perfect disguise for this unjust transaction!
For the cosmic eye, mother earth is for all – we can’t claim land or the gifts of nature, so the only value to trade, is the capacity of work. Working hours is the future trade unit, Martinus tells us, and explains that as long as money have no sender adress on it, it will never balance!
But this is a “holy cow” – the tabu that seems to threaten the very existence of modern society! Modern economy is based on values that originate on everything else than work hours, in fact on money that grows without any working being done! All speculation in land, real estate, stock exchange, currency, and most of normal business trade and commerce, as well as the interest system in banking, depends on money growing without work. A system that as a logic consequence exploits the poor world of simple workers -loosers, who have to do the production of all food and products, that the “winners” of the global game, need for daily living! In this perspective, modern economy is camouflaged stealth, a criminal act, legalized through power and convention.
But we don’t need to be bitter and revengeful by this, because we have all been there! Through reincarnation, we shift life conditions by cause and effect. After lives of wealth, comes poverty! And all energy goes in circles, so all work done by millions of underpaid workers will pay off in future lives of prosperity and economical security!
So who is the winner and who is the looser? The karma is the “act” – the seeds we put in the soil, and our future destiny is the harvest. So let’s try to put the right seeds in the grown, let’s make “bad buisness” – equal for equal – not more, not less! It all comes down to an hour for an hour, and nobody’s hour is worth more than anybody else’s hour.
The next 500 years on earth will be a huge quest towards this new natural economy of equal for equal, says Martinus, who beautifully describes the future international society of freedom and justice. We can imagine what kind of crises on earth we need, before we can let go of the money system and the privileges of the ruling classes, but the comfort is, that it’s all part of the masterplan!
Man is a slow learner as habit and convention is a hard nut to crack, but the teachings of karma is learning by consequence where every dime and nickel we win or loose, is put there by our own hands! So every time we feel frustrated by the “injustice” of life, when we can’t pay the bill or do what we want, because of financial setback, we can focus on the satisfaction of taken a big step forward in the quest of economical freedom! And next time we are tempted to make “good business” – when we are about to take an overprice for goods or work – we need to stop and be aware! This is the turning point of karma, this is where we plant the good seed, to grow and bloom into the most wonderful flower of joy and natural abundance for every living being on earth to share!
