JinlianPai Posted July 30, 2014 In today's modern society people talk about becoming rich like reaching enlightenment. Well what if things were flipped. Lets say that your your very earthly survival was based on attaining higher levels of enlightenment. And this of course was some how currency. I wonder how different society would be?

Jeff Posted July 30, 2014 Anyone who is truly "enlightened", already has all of the money they need. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted July 30, 2014 I wouldn't like that because then I would be one really poor boy. Unless we can still keep our current currency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daeluin Posted July 30, 2014 Isn't it already like this? Those who want to become enlightened seek out teachers to help guide the way. The more people want to become enlightened, the more enlightened teachers will be needed, and so on. This is already happening. 15 years of Neptune in Aquarius brought us the Internet. What will 15 years of Neptune in Pisces bring us? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BaguaKicksAss Posted July 30, 2014 Hmmm, what the governments would do with it is not something I personally would want to see. I wonder if due to all the striving, less people would actually end up enlightened? What we chase after often is what eludes us the most . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan Posted July 30, 2014 I suspect there would be a lot of counterfeit money in circulation. Ah, and the base of the iceberg is realized to be much more than the tip exposes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
