The physical money are only reflections, copies of mental money,
well-being, a feeling of power over yourself, and over others too, if
they are scared.
The love of money is the root of all evil!
The love of the feeling of money. The satisfaction, the peace in your
soul, the social dominance, the power of a powerful mind.
The quote makes more sense when it's complete. Also it's "The proof
of the pudding is in the tasting" not "The proof is in the pudding"
The taste is corrupting. The experience of becoming both strong and
happy, enjoying good treatment everywhere, is difficult to question. It
is a very convincing feeling.
Or we look at the situation from a faulty angle.
Maybe we all have sick souls, been trained to live "in the fear of God"
for thousands of years, this has affected the human mind, and affects
each mind very often still in our modern world.
The social field still works after stone age principles.
A guru on tv yesterday said: "Bravery is to be very scared, but to use
will power to overcome the fear and become a real man. It wouldn't be
bravery if there was no fear."
Power needs helplessness in others, power through mind needs a deep
fear in others to work.
If that fear is used to control a person, to make him very happy, the
fear will also affect others in the same society.
The anger he needs to produce to control his own fear might spill over
here and there, so we get some violence in the society for this system
to work.
Male honor demands that you are always ready to fight physically.
Men need money, they need conviction. Power and well-being are based on
conviction in the creationist system.
The women are trained to be very convincing, so they can convince a
neurotic and violent man to believe in a good world, to become a nicer
and kinder person as he gets older. That is how the current social
system works.
But women are also trained to treat weak men, boys, badly. The women
want strong men, men who are ready to defend themselves, men with
strong minds.
Both men and women are trapped in a social system from the stone age,
inherited generation for generation through personal contact,
traditions, rules, ideologies.
Why do people use alcohol, tobacco, coffee, drugs medicines to feel
good?
Because we are all forced to live at a high stress level, we have
become used to a frenetic lifestyle. And the conviction and will power
which was strong enough when we were young is not so strong anymore.
The reason are old religious traditions, based on the creation of
marriages, the creation of the male mind, the holy spirit, the holy
wrath, created love, the manipulation of people, the social power of
the church.
We have been trying to abolish this old system and all its negative
consequences for thousands of years, but the wise voices are few and
the majority in the social field are still very occupied with
administering and prolonging the stone age traditions, gender roles,
fear and violence, strong convictions, stiff minds.
