Money and Cooperation

"So, I'm just going to heal people and grow my own food," writes Eve.
It's a beautiful place to start.

The thing about money is that it helps mediate between individuals: with money one doesn't have to think about who to get needed things from: one has choices. So what can replace the role of money?

The fantasy would be that Eve could do her healing, which would benefit the world, and I could do my writing coaching, which would also benefit the world. And then Eve and I would also be able to get the things that we need, too. Money currently mediates such things.

But wouldn't it be great if we didn't need money for that? Wouldn't it be great if we could just give, safe in the certainty that we would be given back to. If you believe in the laws of attraction, you may believe that giving is enough to reveive. one who is more cynical might observe that without moeny it can be difficult to receive.

i think part of the problem is that WITH money it is difficult to receive. if we're used to using this mediator device ("money") and someone wants to do us a favor freely, it's hard to take it.

until there is no money, we can practice. use money when we do and learn that we can receive all the wonderful magical free stuff that the world and our friends are pouring out all around us!
