Ownership Revisited Conclusion

by Sequoia Elisabeth

In conclusion of our series on ownership, ownership as a concept in the LBE (Love Based Economy/Society) is abandoned because each person realizes the illusion inherent in ownership.  We as an enlightened society, embrace honesty and truth to the point that it pervades each aspect of society.

The idea of paying for the right to use something that was originally meant for all beings to share simply is no longer acceptable.  The present conditions we impose on each other where created for the economic system to operate.  Think about it for a minute.

You do work of some type and are paid for it, you then turn around and pay others for services you need to survive. It is a contrived system that separates and stratifies society, and simply does not allow equality!  This system served its purpose and now it is time to move on to a cashless system where we no longer have to get something before we give of ourselves.  Each person in a LBE realizes the source of all love, accepts their role in this love, and acts with compassion.

Gaia or Nature truly “owns” everything on earth as she provides the materials and can destroy anything we create.  The idea of ownership when you really think about it is absurd.  Even if you create something wonderful, it is not yours because you got the inspiration from Holy Spirit, and used materials from Gaia or Nature, all you did was put them together in your own unique way.  Now yes this is a great gift and makes the world a beautiful place to live, but it is not ownership.  It is giving.

With no ownership this frees us to live a life of safety and security.  If citizens know they have food to eat, clean water to drink, a warm place to sleep and other people to love and support them doesn’t this provide a powerful platform to live your life from?  There is no concern about who’s home you live in, or who’s food you eat or who’s clothing you wear, because you know in your heart that it is yours as much as anyone’s.  Each person in a LBE honors possession as the law, and at the same time each person only takes what they need never taking that which is being used by another.  In each moment they think about others’ needs above their own.  This is a compassionate and loving way to live; this is a Love Based Economy.

Ownership Revisited

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Ownership is purely a man made concept that has existed for thousands of years in some form or another.  The question I ask here is simply this, “How does ownership serve you”?  Is it in the Highest and Best Good of the Human Race & Earth?

Ownership as defined by the Encyclopedia Britannica is, “the legal relation between a person (individual, group, corporation, or government) and an object. The object may be corporeal, such as furniture, or completely the creature of law, such as a patent, copyright, or annuity; it may be movable, such as an animal, or immovable, such as land. Because the objects of property and the protected relations are different in every culture and vary according to law, custom and economic system and the relative social status of those who enjoy its privileges, it is difficult to find a least common denominator of “ownership.” Ownership of property probably means at a minimum that one’s government or society will help to exclude others from the use or enjoyment of one’s possession without one’s consent, which may be withheld except at a price.”

What do you own?  Think carefully here.  Are you sure?  Is it because you paid for it?  Or is it simply that you claimed possession?  Can you do with it as you please?  Does it bring you joy?  Is it time to re-assess your viewpoint on ownership?

Copyright is a legal construction so that the person with this legal right can claim the profit.  I ask that you consider this carefully.  Who really owns the words written here or the electricity that brings them to you?  The reason this law exists is so that money can be collected.  It is not always the person who made the copyrighted material who profits from it.  Copyright law is simply a construct under which some get wealthy and other do not.  It is a limitation imposed by the powers at be.  Now I can choose to not copyright my writing, because these words do not come from me but from Holy Spirit.  Anyone who wishes can wade in the river of knowledge!  This goes for any creation, a building, a computer, a book, a recipe, you name it – the idea came from Holy Spirit!  The resources came from Gaia and your part in the process is the hands to mold it.  Just because you played a part of a Divine process does not mean you own the creation!  If I make the muffler for a car, do I own the car?  If I make a book cover do I own the book?  Not hardly.

What is “real” about real estate?  What are you paying for?  Could it be that you are paying for the right to use the property as long as you abide by certain rules and pay the proper taxes and fees.  Why are you giving your power to some official or banker?  What will happen if you claim your inner power and God given right to live as you see fit?  Is what you are thinking in the Best Interest of Everyone involved?

So you think you own something, such as a gold watch.  You wear it proudly and use it every day.  One day it disappears, you have no idea what happened to it.  Did you own it and do you still own it?  As the definition reads above you did own it, but now you do not.  Possession is 9/10th of the law, or so it would seem.  I would say that it is 100% the law of ownership.

Say you met with a friend and notice that they were wearing the watch that you once owned.  Who’s watch is it?  Does it matter that your friend found the watch in the company bathroom?  Do you automatically assume they stole the watch from you?  I hope not.  If you still wish to enjoy the watch, you could explain what happened and ask them politely to give the watch to you.  Since they are in possession of the watch, they own it.  If you are compassionate and caring you may get the watch back.

It is like the watch is making the decisions and choosing the person to be with.  And in a way this is exactly what is happening.  Remember like energy attracts like energy and if you are resonating a match to the watch it will come back into your life.  I once lost a ring and found it over three times before it decided I did not want it and I never found it again.  It is not about owning certain objects, it is about enjoying the use of them and then gratefully passing them along when you are done with them.

I used to have a camera that I was getting tired of and wished to get a better one.  A few days later someone stole my camera and my prayers were answered!  I now had the excuse I needed to go buy a new camera and I did.  I owned the camera while it was in my possession and then I did not.  The important point here is that I always have what I need.  The resources present themselves as the need arises!

It is also important to know that ownership as most people understand it today is an illusion.  You do not own the land, your car or anything really.  But you do have the use of anything you desire to claim in a way that honors the Best Interests of all concerned.

Right now this means paying for certain items so that you have permission to use them.  Of course you are not paying for the item, but the honor of using it!  If someone gives you a gift card, they are transferring their honor to you, thus making it a gift!

Ownership then is really a Spiritual Agreement made energetically between two individuals or Great Spirit herself.  Whether energy is exchanged in the form of money, labor, barter, or Love does not matter.  The water you drink, the land you walk on and the trees you sleep under were given to you as a gift from Great Spirit.  Are you using them with honor?

Ask not what do I own, but Do I have what I need?  I would bet the answer is Yes, because Great Spirit is a wonderful provider (as long as you allow it).

I did not get into the etiquette of ownership so please do not assume from this blog that I condone taking anything without asking first!  Get permission, either verbally, in writing or by (sales) contract.  Even in a cashless society, the rules of etiquette still apply.  I write about a Perfect Society on the website and you may enjoy reading this article published several years ago.

In conclusion, ownership as a concept in the LBE (Love Based Economy/Society) is abandoned because each person realizes the illusion inherent in ownership.  We as an enlightened society, embrace honesty and truth to the point that it pervades each aspect of society. The idea of paying for the right to use something that was originally meant for all beings to share simply is no longer acceptable.  The present conditions we impose on each other where created for the economic system to operate.  Think about it for a minute.

You do work of some type and are paid for it, you then turn around and pay others for services you need to survive. It is a contrived system that separates and stratifies society, and simply does not allow equality!  This system served its purpose and now it is time to move on to a cashless system where we no longer have to get something before we give of ourselves.  Each person in a LBE realizes the source of all love, accepts their role in this love, and acts with compassion.

With no ownership this frees us to live a life of safety and security.  If citizens know they have food to eat, a warm place to sleep and other people to love and support them doesn’t this provide a powerful platform to live your life from?  There is no concern about who’s home you live in, or who’s food you eat or who’s clothing you wear, because you know in your heart that it is yours as much as anyone’s.  Each person in a LBE honors possession as the law, and at the same time each person only takes what they need and never takes that which is being used by another.  Each moment they are thinking about other’s needs above their own.  This is a compassionate and loving way to live, this is a Love Based Economy.

Speak To Me

by Sequoia Elisabeth

The new earth (a Love based Economy/Society, LBE) is made up of core cities all over the world close to, but not exactly where cities are located today.  Cities will come in four sizes, Metropolis (1 million or more population), Large city (100,000-999,999 population), small city (1,000 to 99,999) and rural maintenance city (under 1000 population).  97% of the population lives in a city.  The wilderness is left for wild things.

Each city is connected to all others by an inter-world communications net built right into any and all infrastructure.  Just as we have phone lines today each building has communication nodes installed which transmit signals wirelessly.  Each community/city has its own grid of wireless networks so anyone can speak to anyone else anywhere in the world from wherever they are with a good quality signal even from buildings below ground or in remote rural maintenance cities.  Like raindrop ripples on a smooth lake the calls go out to cover the world and beyond.

Communication in a LBE is conducted in diverse ways and as all else, it is totally free.  Public Comm Centers equipped with all available communication modes are provided in commonly used areas such as transportation centers, shopping areas, educational sites, and entertainment centers as a convenience to those who have misplaced theirs or simply as backup to personal communication devices.  All communicators automatically translate any known language, so talking to those in other countries is as simple as saying hello.

Traditional mail and email are still used on a limited basis for those who choose them, however most prefer telepathy or voice communication.  Protocols or guidelines are in place for the use of telepathy (a form of telepathy exists today, so this is not far off).  In a LBE each citizen respects the others right to privacy. It must be remembered that in a LBE all actions come from Love and are Loving.  As the ability to communicate by telepathy grows, learning to keep thoughts private is learned rather quickly. (In a LBE privacy is not an issue because we all realize Oneness, meaning the one mind knows all there is to know and we access it on a need to know basis.)

The new earth is characterized by a Universal understanding of Oneness and its ramifications.  Each thought, word and action is carefully processed by our increased mental capacity which has been growing over many years of evolution. (The future is now, consider how much more intelligent the average person is today compared to just 300 yrs ago).

A LBE exists today in a sparse peppered pattern all over the earth and it is growing daily.  The time has come and the masses are realizing they control their destiny, not some Government Official or Religious Leader.  Spirit works through each of us and as we awaken to the possibilities life will quickly follow suit.

Living Without Money

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Living without money is the answer to the current economic crisis.  The current money system has been failing repeatedly since its inception.  This is a good thing because it is the way we evolve.  All systems on earth grow till they are no longer efficient and serving the needs and then they fail. Adaptations are made and a new modified system takes over and it seems little has changed. (This includes all living systems; the earth, plants, animals, and humans)

The roaring twenties are a good example where the economy grew very quickly, there were plenty of jobs and everyone (the middle and upper class) prospered.  By the thirties though the system had been stretched as far as it would go and it failed.  The great depression set in.  A new system was put into place and off the economy went fueled by war in the forties.

After the war, the system worked well till the seventies when we experienced our first energy crisis and it was declared that we needed to escape our dependence on foreign oil.  Things were propped up and life went on.  This is the cycle which continues today.  The government steps in and artificially props things up, mostly for corporations which run this country and everyone is lulled into a false sense of security.

The system is failing again and this time could be for good.  We have a wonderful opportunity to replace the old failing economic system with one that is vibrant and promises hundreds of years of prosperity for all.  This new Love Based Economy/Society (LBE) truly is an equalitarian society where everyone prospers to their own desire.

The documentary movie “Living Without Money” show cases one way in which we can make the shift from money to none.  They call it a gifting economy, and others call it modified barter, the important thing is that it works.  The system is still based on Love!  This is the critical part.  Without Love no system will work and at this point with the world teetering on destruction we need drastic changes.

I highly recommend seeing this movie so you can get an idea of how a gifting economy can get the world headed in the right direction.  You too can live a very comfortable life without money!  I am sure the system will look slightly different depending on the continent that you live on.  For instance, in the USA with corporations running everything, bartering with the supermarket may be difficult, so people will be going to farmer markets and creating co-ops.  Supermarkets will eventually fail or be replaced by a resource allocation system that is not based on money.

This is not about going back to the old barter system and living in the dark ages.  It is about moving forward into the new age of giving, sharing and interdependence.  It is about the world coming together as ONE, because we are One and the Earth is our sustenance!  We are biting the hand that feeds us and this must stop – NOW.

I believe the gifting system proposed by the movie “Living Without Money” is a bridge to the more sustainable and prosperous system of resource allocation.  I know that you realize a change is needed, so please do not think that propping the failing monetary system back up once again is an answer, it is only delaying the inevitable.  By consciously choosing a LBE the future will flow right into our laps.

Reflect And Contemplate This

by Sequoia Elisabeth

This week is going to be a week of reflection and contemplation.  There will be no blogs and all I ask of you is to think about what a Love Based Economy/Society (LBE) looks and feels like.  How can we change our present to align with a LBE?  Do we even need to? 

Remember that we are each responsible for our version of “reality”.  I know it is hard to imagine that your partner is experiencing the world differently than you are or anyone for that matter, however we each experience the same world in different ways, thus the personal differences from one person to the next.  I believe this is why we like to share our world/knowledge/experiences with others.  The more points of view you have the closer you are to the source experience of seeing, knowing and experiencing it all. 

Could you imagine watching one movie your entire life and that movie then becoming your reality?  You know there are other movies, but you are not interested in them.  All that concerns you is your movie.  I think this is one way to live, however I also see this as a very limited form of existence as well. 

Let us contemplate Oneness, Interdependence, and LBE this week.  Please post comments or email me directly.  Contact info is on the website, Unity in Gender Diversity.  I also posted a link to a resource based economy so you can share in this concept.  May your week be illuminated!

Transportation in a LBE

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Transportation in a Love Based Economy/Society (LBE) is our next topic of discussion.  Getting around in a LBE uses the highest level of technological advancement available.  There is no cost involved, and availability is abundant.

Since the cities are constructed around a central hub automated vehicles run constantly in a cycle around the city.  Supplies are brought in by supply train for distribution to the final location.  Cars and trucks are not allowed in the city, but are still used out in the country, between cities, and by enthusiasts.  

Fossil fuels are no longer in use, so older vehicles are retrofitted with fuel cells or zero-point generators.  Walking is a favorite activity so each loving person does so whenever the distance is less than one mile.  Many people will walk five miles a day simply because they can.  If for some reason they cannot walk, technology takes over so going where you want, by peddle, wheel, or air is never a concern.    

The concept of ownership is obsolete in a LBE.  As is the case in every aspect of a LBE, services are free and abundant, while also being respected, and never abused.  When you need a vehicle you simply get in and go.  There are no locks or keys to worry with.  When done you make sure the vehicle is left in a ready condition for the next user.  Since there are plenty of vehicles no person goes without, and even if there is a high demand each person makes sure others are served first. 

Common areas of high demand like stadiums and theatres have mass transit serving them whenever events are scheduled.  The central computer handles all systems so a balanced flow of traffic is moving at all times.  In LBE people demand clean, efficient, and well maintained services in a loving and caring way, always taking into consideration other people’s needs. 

The LBE is all about freedom, so transportation is a liberation, not a limitation.  Moving about where you wish is simply a matter of making it so, expressing your loving and caring essence all the while.

Eating in a LBE

by Sequoia Elisabeth

As part of our continuing series on Love Based Economy/Society (LBE) we explore an aspect of life we all can relate to.  Eating in a LBE is more community based than ever before.  Food is grown locally and shared freely.  No one goes hungry in a LBE because each person lives knowing we are all family.  We now understand that poverty is a consciousness and is perpetuated by both the have’s and the have not’s.  Those who hoard wealth are just as responsible for starving children as the children themselves.  Not to say that each individual is not responsible for their own abundance.  Poverty is based in fear, so when you live with Love there is no fear of having enough, what you have is shared freely and you know there will always and all ways be more.

Each community works together to provide as much fresh farmed food as possible using the most modern equipment and automation.  Beside the large agrarian areas, food is grown in aquaponic greenhouse factories in the city and in individual homes.  Each home that has land will grow basic food items to reduce the need in the overall system. 

Hunting is no longer practiced in a LBE although it is not outlawed.  Hunting preserves are allowed where the Native practice of honoring the animal is exercised and the entire process is a Spiritual joining of man and beast.  All parts of the animal are used and meat eaten. 

Meat for the mass population is farmed with loving intention, the animals are treated humanely and sustainably.  Since meat is not longer the main course the demand for meat is far less which makes sustainable farming more practical.  Farmed animals know their purpose and live to serve just as their ancestors did for the native peoples. 

Eating is still a ceremony that is celebrated in diverse ways and gratitude for those who brought the food to the table, from the plant or animal itself to the person consuming the food, all are honored.  We all know that the whole process is energy changing forms and is as natural as a seed germinating. 

In a LBE food is one tool for living a life based in Love.  Because each action we take is a statement of our Love.  This means respecting our food, being grateful and using sustainable methods in the entire process.  Carrots and Broccoli are as alive as a chicken or cow, so it is this life vitality that is consumed.  The method of doing such is what makes a Love Based Economy/Society different than today’s.  As you bless your food so does your food bless you.
