Chapter One

Class Begins

Ms. Alison:

Hello, class, I am Ms. Alison. Welcome to the first day of the new school year.

In case you were wondering, this class is Sociology History. Please make sure you intended to take this class, please check your class schedules. I wouldn't want to teach you something you didn't want to know about.

Does anyone have any questions?......... We will be studying history and the use of money. Our studies will delve into the usage and psychological effects of this substance called money.

Bill:

Ms. Alison?

Ms. Alison:

Yes, Bill, do you have a question?

Bill:

Yes, I do. You called it a substance that caused psychological effects--did they eat this stuff?

Ms. Alison:

No, Bill, they did not eat it. We will delve into the facts about this substance and what it did to them and how it did it a little later on.

I have pulled a book from the library archives that will be the main study guide for this class. A book called Once Upon A Time There Was No Money, with the subtitles And They Lived and Evolved Happily Ever After and What You Never Knew about Money.

This book is on your schoolbook memory cards. Please slip your cards into your desk station readers and pull up this book. Turn to the overview and we will get started.

Chapter Five

Class Review Chapter Three & Four

Ms. Alison:

Good morning, class. How is everyone? Class, as you can see, the reality of that period was far different from today. Those people lived under far different circumstances where stress was a daily way of life. We are not perfect today, but we are at least consciously intending to better ourselves by our personal achievements and better our way of life for all rather than just take advantage of others as they did in this era we're studying.

I trust you all read chapters three and four. That was quite a read, wasn't it? The author put some things into perspective for you, I hope, so you can further understand this time period.

Ron:

Ms. Alison?

Ms. Alison:

Yes, Ron.

Ron:

I have to agree with what Gail said yesterday about being glad she did not live in that era. How could they have lasted so long living that way? Riinngg .....

Ms. Alison:

Who was that?

Sam:

Ms, Alison, it is I, Sam.

Ms. Alison:

Please turn that off, Sam.

Sam:

Well, I can't, Ms, Alison, I put my communication chip into this old Rolex watch I got from my grandpa and since then I have not been able to turn it off.

Ms. Alison:

I would suggest you leave your communications unit at home tomorrow.

Sam:

But, Ms. Alison, I will not be able to call my girlfriend or watch the games at lunch. Plus all my class notes are in here too.

Ms. Alison:

Okay. Then may I suggest you put that chip back in the case it is supposed to be in?

Now class, we will go over this to see what everyone learned about history from these two chapters. I would like you to do a comparison of then and now for each topic included in these chapters. Let's start with the first one in chapter three. Sam, would you like to start today?

Sam:

Yes.

Tendencies

From reading this section I see that the author knows that it will be hard for the money era people to make the change. I feel that is because they were so accustomed to a long history of the same ways of thinking. We did not have to go through that transition period, so it is a little hard to imagine what that must have been like to go through. Speaking for all of us, I think we all feel very lucky that we do not live under the stress and oppression of what must have been a dark cloud over the entire planet that was ready to pounce on anyone that the government thought was not a conformer. In the beginning he says that there would be some chaos. Did that happen, Ms. Alison?

Ms. Alison:

Yes, Sam, there was an adjustment period as the author mentions. It was a little different and lasted most of the time of the first generation. It seems that the generation that went through this period kept talking about the past when they used money. That kept bringing up the conflicts and questions in the next generation because they wanted to know more about their parent,s ways of life before the children were born. However, the first generation did live a far better lifestyle after money was removed. They were also the ones that made the plan work and grow into the lifestyles we live today that are without the stress and chaos of the money era.

Sam, please continue

Sam:

I also agree with us not using money. He said that we came from humble beginnings and that money was not a part of our creation or existence for a long time as we evolved from the caveman days up until man started using money. This is important to mention, I think, because we are born just as the caveman was without money and when we die we leave earth without money. So, why then did they think money was a requirement while on earth? It is hard for me to understand this requirement from our way of life today. I am glad we do not have this way of life.

Ms. Alison:

Thank you, Sam. Let's have Gwen take this next section on psychological effects.

Gwen:

This section talks about product pricing. They used this to control the level and quality of their standard of living. It seems to me that it was a way of keeping the ones that had less money down so they were not able to attain the same levels as the more powerful and rich people of the time. This is not something I or we are used to today. I can see how this led to the discomfort for the people back then. Psychologically, this could and did cause much unrest in a person, because I would imagine the people felt they were just as deserving as the others that had a better way of life, they just may not have understood why they were made to live with less comfort and status than their counterparts.

We do not try to keep others down, why would we do that? We are all the same inside. We are all from the same energy of creation and we are all connected together by that same energy that created the clouds, water, earth, germs, dinosaurs, birds, the desk I am sitting on and everything else. We all feel the separation of body because we have mobility, but on a grander lever we are not separate at all. We are even connected via the molecules in the air between us. One such example is that when I speak you can all hear me because of this connection in the air. It is through vibration of the air molecules from my mouth to your ears. There is no separation between us, otherwise you would not hear my words that travel on the blanket of air that is vibrating when I speak that blanket is a part of your ears too. Distance makes this seem disconnected, but it is not. Vibration diminishes over distance, but the energy does not.

Ms. Alison:

Thank you, Gwen. Who will take the next section, education?

Harry:

I will, Ms. Alison

Ms. Alison:

Thank you, Harry

Harry:

From my understanding of that era, there were different types of education available. Some no longer exist, such as law schools. But to get to the newer understanding the author was referring to, I see that a basic education about humanity and loving and respecting all life was his message. If we disliked others and ourselves we might start warring with each other again. So an education on the finer aspects of knowing who we are, where we came from and why we are on earth in the physical realm is what keeps us from being as barbaric as the past civilizations were. We are able to, as he stated, change services at any time we wish and do something different when it strikes our fancy. We do need to be taught the ways of the new service before we can just go do it. This is a good way of living, because we do get restless with the same type of service or work after a while.

Ms. Alison:

Thank you, Harry. Next we have the topic of housing--who wants this one?

Rick:

I_ill take it, Ms. Alison

Rick:

I have seen many pictures of the past eras that show various types of dwellings they had. Some were very beautiful and some were very poor. I have seen paper housing like the ones people lived in over in Asia and the really rundown buildings they called the slums like in New York City. However, today we cannot find any housing like that at all anywhere in the world. Everybody has a decent house to live in. People pick a house that fits the way they wish to live. I am glad we can provide the level of physical comfort today so we do not see the homeless people that I have seen in pictures where they stood on the side of the street and asked for a handout of money so they could get some food to eat. I understand most of those people lived either out in the open or even in cardboard boxes at times. It appears that not very many people cared for the homeless and would look down upon them. That seems really heartless to me that so many people had to live that way--and the majority of the people that did not live that way did not care about those that were forced to live as homeless due to money.

Ms. Alison:

Thank you, Rick.

Ms. Alison:

Let's move on to science. Who wants to speak on this?

Ron:

I will, Ms. Alison

Ms. Alison:

I should have known you would volunteer, Ron. You are known as the computer geek of the school, aren't you? I am told that you will be one of our future scientists.

Ron:

Yes, Ms. Alison, I am studying to be a scientist, but I am not sure yet what area I will major in. As for this book, the section on science is fairly accurate in his interpretation of future developments. We do have a lot more advances that come out far more frequently than the era of money had. It is like he stated about the lack of restrictions when money was involved. We are not bound by the work it took back then to find and secure the money it would take to get a lab or new product started. One example of difference is back then the largest software maker was a company called Microsoft. They made most of the operating systems that computers ran on, but today a scientist made a completely new system while studying in school that has replaced that old system. This person could not have done that if he lived in the money era. He would not have been able to overtake such a large and well-funded company because it would have taken a great deal of money that he did not have. I see he also understood about light technologies that would be developed in future times. Our communications units use light technology as a major part of their operation system. This along with the biological storage cubes is what makes them so fast and able to store so much data.

Ms. Alison:

And They All Lived And Evolved Happily Ever After

Authors Note:

If you haven't guessed the solution yet, read the Book to find out what the solution really is, how simple it is and why it will come about whether we like it or not. Our current system of government and greed is what will force us, along with the help of the higher spiritual realms, to move beyond our current mindsets and the looming issues that will continue to worsen until we wake up to some very real BUT HIDDEN FACTS in our course of evolution.
