There
has
been a lot said about the Financial Crash. About greed, Wall street
and
so on. But what is really going on? Why is it happening at all?
(Incidentally,
God/Nature didn't make money - man did. And, by God, we did it
badly. It separates us, but like Separation Theology, from all the
good things in life.)
Some 30 years ago, I
lived in the USA off and on for about 5 years. I just couldn't
understand how Americans could speak English, and yet be so totally
different in
their heads, or how they see life. I now have some feeling for that,
which I explored in a talk I gave to the Theosophical Society in September, 2008,
in Perth.
Why is world and America,
in particular, so totally
money
oriented? What is really behind their thinking? What I said in my
recent
talk is very different from what most people say, and I have put two
pieces of
information together to explain it. These are explained in the video
clips I have put together that were created by others. The two vital
things to understand are:
- Despite all our feeling about money, and how
valuable it is, it has been debased over the last few years. It is not
based on Gold or Silver anymore. Money is created effectively from
"thin are" as is shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVkFb26u9g8
The previous Australian
Treasurer
Peter
Costello and I spoke about this about ten years ago. It is a FACT!
- If you believe that you have
to be blessed - materially - to get to heaven, then you will do
anything you can to make money.
These are explained in the video
below.
My
talk
commences with ten minutes or so given by myself about the planet, John
Calvin
and money, then there is a video by Servern Suzuki (David Suzuki’s
daughter), a
talk by an economist about Calvinism, a 6 minute clip by JFK, and more,
eventually with some video clips of new ways for society to think and
use
money.
All
in all, the DVD is
about 70 minutes all together, and you may skip sections to save time. If you would like a copy of the video, please write to me. Otherwise, watch the clips below.
You can listen
to roughly ten minute segments, and stop and restart at any time. Please watch the first bit of
mine, and the History
of Capitalism, and how banks make money. And there are some sections
near the end that talk talk about alternatives to money. I have much
more on the subject, but I think that will come in another talk or
document.
Namaste,
Clement Clarke
Perth, Australia
