The whole thing with money, strange really that paper or various metals formed, shaped, stamped, and recorded have become the exclusive drinving force behind modern "civilization".

So what forces this. Desire for status or power, perhaps an elusive dream that you might have more frequent sexual encounters because of the image you could portray if you had more money. The largest attraction toward money maybe freedom. Not having financhial stress in your life is a much sought after goal, and legitimate at that. But what if we were able to go beyond money what if we were able to go beyond stress and realize on some level that money isnt real, and the things we buy arent real. Granted heat ,food and other essentials must be accounted for but what of this desire for consumption. Why do we persue certain items more than others, why do we value one object above another of equal function because it costs more, when did our sense of value get caught up in price?

The desire to consume seems to be all around us, constantly in our public world we are fed clever advertisments, designed to make us feel less than or not good enough without "that" product. PLaying on our senses of self and our self images, advertisers toil endlessly to try to find ways to convince us to "BUY BUY BUY", we can even see major changes in advertising as a bussiness it seems to me that it is becoming more and more aggresive all the time. It would make sense to me if a company had a product that served a purpose and wanted an opportunity to present there product to the public in hope of sales. If they presented their product and explained, left the rest out it would be fine. But so often now we are seeing advertisements showing you a situation or a lifestyle, and they are telling us that we can purchase that from them, we can buy a product that will gives us "that" moment that "life".

So what do we do, refuse? Get rid of money, would that change the game if there were no currency, i think not, the "bigwigs" would still find a way there is always an insecurity to play on to get you to follow and even if there wasnt money they would find the next best thing to gain from you. So i suppose its a question of wakefulness, being alert and recognizing what is actually in those ads your being exposed to. So watch carefully and think objectivly to see what your really buying, refuse the fancy dreams, because they're not real we have more than that in each of ourselves.
