The complexity of the way that the world and our lives work make it exceptionally difficult both to explain and to understand where the real causes of the problems that we are facing really lie.
To say that the way the world works is multilayered, and that points or degrees of separation exist in just about every direction that we look, would be a considerable understatement.
Just like reading a well written book that reveals something new to the reader each time that it is read, there is certainly a reality we must face that People will only understand anything when they are ready to do so.
However. Understanding this only goes so far.
The bigger picture is that many People could understand the bigger picture that is at work and that is harming many of them, IF they were actually open to the information that is available to them. And not focused upon many of the distractions that have been purposefully placed in their way.
When you understand how any of these ‘layers’ work, its very easy to fall into the trap of believing that what you now know is easy for anyone to understand. For no better reason than you already understand it yourself.
However, those who have not reached the layer of understanding that you have, may be as blind and indeed resistant to the existence of the next layer of understanding that you yourself have to open up and access. You could well believe that there is nothing more that you could possibly need to know.
The phrase ‘Hiding in Plain Sight’ may be one that it overused. But in the sense of the hidden truths that so many of us cannot see – for reasons that in many cases are actually outside of our conscious control – the truths that lie behind so many of the lies in the lives that we live, are there and right in front of us. Often repeatedly knocking on our front door.
Whilst there are many such ‘hidden truths’ that are contributing to the disaster that is unfolding around us, there is none that would be more beneficial for all of us to understand than the ‘Money Myth’.
Or rather the many myths that have been deliberately created around money and what our relationship with money and the power, influence, social standing and control that goes with it, actually mean, as they unravel and influence just about every part of our waking lives.
The easiest truth this post can explain, is that the role of money, how money works and how money and everything that goes with it is based on a lie, is a story that could take up hundreds if not thousands of pages in well-reasoned and fact-linking writing.
And it’s a story that would certainly lose most readers very quickly along the way.
The next truth revealed is that any story of that kind, whether academically written or filtered down into easy reading or even comic book form, would still lose many People.
Because the truth or truths that surround everything that is wrong with the way that the world works today and the building blocks that got us all here, are together a pathway to understanding that we all need to be able to reach conclusions upon, ourselves.
So, for now, let’s round off this post with two questions for the reader to consider.
The first question is ‘What are businesses, organisations, government and every activity and action that we do outside of our homes really for?’
The final, ‘What is more important and where does that mean our priorities should be?
When any or all of us can answer these questions honestly, openly and without hesitation given the role that we all play, we will have already taken the biggest step towards the much better future for Everyone that awaits.
