As we have already touched on, overextended artificial markets can cause us to become more and more separated from our natural selves, and in so doing we move “out of time” with our natural positioning and our optimum states of health.
In THE PINHEADS, I mention that this situation was foreseen by Adam Smith in 1776, one of the founding fathers of capitalism. There is essentially a deadening of spirit, resulting in a climate change not just around the planet, but also within each and every individual.
The more and more skilled we can become in being in time and tune with nature, the less “money” becomes a motivator in our thoughts and actions. This is simply because we are operating in a place of inspiration, which is far superior to a “motivated” workplace; relatively speaking, the word “motivation” reflects a state of slavery when compared to a state of inspiration.
It is inspiration which creates true quality money, not motivation. “Motivation” indicates that the workplace has become or is becoming a slave to money rather than quality, and such situations are not good for the individual or the collective. They are sub-standard, and so expect to experience sub-standard health if you choose this particular path. It is self-created.
To help broadly “gauge” how much an artificial market has become overextended, there is a simple scenario you can imagine which will highlight the degree of discord resulting from our moving away from natural pathways:
Globally, if all money disappeared overnight, as if by some magic act, and if everyone beforehand was actually doing that which their heart most desired all the time (or which brought them the most fulfilment, however we wish to put it), then theoretically speaking, nothing would change. The flow would continue. The “new” situation of there being no money in the world would not actually change anything one jot, as no one in their right mind would choose to do anything different to what they’re already doing if what they were doing is what they most wanted to do.
Now we know within the present framework we experience that this is a kind of utopia, an extreme, but it is a useful scenario to consider all the same, as essentially this is what an ecosystem is. And we know that ecosystems when left alone attain near perfect, if not perfect, health.
We can say that ecosystems work on the basis of pure natural spirit. Humankind is different. Whilst we are born out of pure natural spirit, which is timeless, we instead experience a slowed down version of this timeless spirit, which then brings in the phenomena of the emotions, and the range of emotional states we can then choose to experience.
When I say that pure natural spirit is timeless, what I am saying here is there is no gap or delay between thought and action, that there is no “time”. We might say that time has “collapsed”, but it is more true to say that time has not been created. This “time” therefore is being created in every moment, every infinite “now” moment, we experience, with each infinite “now” moment coalescing to create the impression of passing or serial time. The creation of time (and space) then, does not exist somewhere in the “past” or the “future”, it is created “now”. This is not new information, it has been known for millenia, it’s simply been forgotten or lost in translation as artificial markets arise in serial time, so clouding over the natural situation.
Monitoring our emotional states are the best guide to working out how well we are balancing out our natural and artificial selves, which in turn leads to us optimising our space-time experiences, individually and en masse.
