Spiritual nature of money

[Mastermind]

Many people wrongly believe that money has nothing to do with spirituality. That money is only material, that money is bad, that making money is selfish, that the love of money is the root of all evil.
Most think that money is time or that time is money.
Most think that hoarding money is bad. If you exceed an arbitrary limit you must be bad.
These people also think that spending money is bad. Anything related to money is bad.

These untruths spread by the enemy have done a huge amount of damage to our civilization.

Money is not time
Contrary to popular belief, every transaction done ethically benefits both the seller and the buyer.
Most of the time, the gain made by the buyer is more than the gain made by the seller.
Example: person A makes tool X in one hour for $1k and then person B buys tool X for $10k.
The seller just made $9k in one hour! Is the seller ripping off the buyer? Is the seller greedy and enriching himself while making others poor?
The buyer then uses tool X to make another tool X in one hour for $1k which he then sells for $10k. What's going on here? Who's ripping off who now? They must be all bad people, making so much money.
The buyer of the last tool X then uses tool X to make tool Y, which he sells for $100k.
The buyer of tool Y then uses it to make tool Z which he sells for $1,000,000.
The buyer of tool Z then uses it to make $100,000,000 by manufacturing a product that saves 1,000,000,000 lives....
In this example, tool X is a lathe, tool Y is a CNC lathe, tool Z is a big 6 axis CNC lathe.
How is all of this fair? Time must equal money right? Person A is greedy and shouldn't be making that much because it's more than I make, however he helped others make even more money than he does, shouldn't he be paid more?

What is money?
There are three kinds of money that I know: based on past work, based on future work and third a mixture of the two.
The types based on past work are gold, silver, cryptos and all whose supply is somewhat limited. They do not require much trust to work. They tend to make prices decrease over time and make it very hard for borrowers to pay back loans.
The second type is the one based on a promise for future work. Most currencies today are of this kind. Tends to make prices increase over time. Good for borrowers. Requires trust to work.
The third kind, which no one has managed to implement, would be a mixture of the two previous ones. Mixing the two kinds should tend to keep prices constant over time. Balance the inflationary tendency of one with the deflationary tendency of the other.
As you can see, money does not have value in the present time. It's either based on the past or on the future. Since past and future are concepts of the human mind we can say that the value of money is purely spiritual.

Now what do people do with money? They spend it to get things that make them happy or receive services that make them happy.
Thus money represents the amount of good that you've done to others in the past or that you'll do to others in the future.
Let go of all the bad preconceptions about money.

Souldn't there be a limit to how much money one should seek?
Why would you want to stop doing good to others?
$1M? $1B? $1T?
You should always seek to make more until your last breath. The love of money, being rewarded for the good that you do to others, is the root of all that is good.

Hoarding money is good
If you do not spend money it does not make others poorer nor does it prevent others from engaging in economic activity, unless there were only 2 people on earth and you were one of those.
1% has 99% of the money. So what? It does not make others poorer.
It does not stop you from making goods and services and exchanging them with other people.

Spending money is good
What if you enjoy spending money? Should you feel any guilt driving a ferrari past a homeless jew?
You shouldn't. There's nothing wrong in doing the things that make you happy. While making others happy is good, making yourself happy is priority number 1.

You don't need money to make money
Money is not a tool. You can't use it to make anything, except fire.
You don't need money to give others things or services. If the buyer does not have enough money right now to pay for your goods and services, make a debt contract.
If you don't have enough money to buy a tool, try to make a debt contract either with the seller, with family, with a friend or with a bank (in that order).
If that fails, try to make a contract with the buyer of your goods and services. In most cases that contract can then be sold to a third party (the practice is called invoice financing) which you can use to lease the tools necessary for the work.

Now go and make lots and lots and lots of money. You deserve lots of it and much more.

I mostly agree with you but I always think this had a point. A video I remember from when I was younger about this.

https://youtu.be/xzau4Z_lfJY

I think if you did have an Aquisition mindset it is helpful in gaining stuff and money but without something deeper too its all kind of pointless.

 

[Rational Satanist]

There's nothing bad with having money, but you are going to the other extreme here:

You should always seek to make more until your last breath. The love of money, being rewarded for the good that you do to others, is the root of all that is good.

No, you should only make money that you want or need. This attitude you're promoting here makes people workaholics and anxious and worried about making more. I need to state the obvious: Making money is good, but not making money is also good, if this is your thing. I have seen many people who are anxious and depressed because they "should be making more", they have the exact same stressful mentality you are promoting. Don't use the word "should" when it comes to money or other personal things.

I myself used to think that making money was the ultimate thing, but as I passed my 30s I learned to be fine with simple pleasures. I don't need to make more money than I need for a living.

Now what do people do with money? They spend it to get things that make them happy or receive services that make them happy.

An external thing doesn't make you happy. I am again stating the obvious here: happiness always comes from the inside, not from the outside, and doesn't depend on external things. Which is why two people may have opposite feelings about the same thing. Happiness mostly comes from the thoughts you think about a specific thing, and not the thing itself. Believe it or not, there are people who feel happy with the smallest things, even with things that others find disgusting.

This mentality also creates inner unhappiness, ironically. When you wait for something in the future to make you happy, you will never be happy. You will just have temporary joy when that thing comes, but after a short while you will be bored and chasing something different that you think will make you happy. On and on, without end. You can't wait for something in the future to make you happy, you can only be happy now, regardless of what material possessions you have, by training your mind.

[NinRick]

And don't forget to donate some bitcoin because we have a Satanic masterpiece to build there.

Actually, to be frank with you, I know you are against this procedure, however, I do believe we should promote for donations, so people, who want to support the advancement of Satanism and also you, as you will carry out those projects anyways, can donate some cash.
This money will help tremendously in the projects of the JoS and nobody will think that you rip them off their money.
Imagine how far we would come if everyone just contributes 1%, of their wealth. Or 10%.
But to be honest even if people (those who can) donate 10 dollars a month, heck this would help big time, as we are many people here.

What are your thoughts on that?

Tbh I think it is needed, to support your work on the material aspect at least. We need to secure the JoS and your work. And for dedicated Satanists a bit of money is nothing to show a tiny bit of their appreciation.

I mostly agree with you, except:

:arrow: inflationary tendencies are not needed. They are the reason for poverty, injustice and an overall fucked up economy.
:arrow: you're not priority number 1, no. That is the mentality that has fucked up society. Your priority number 1 is your race. Thinking of yourself first and foremost is what the lowest classes did in the Golden Age. Classes back then were based on wisdom and spiritual power, with the highest having the most of both and the lowest having the least. Nobody in their right mind would want a selfish person to rule them.
:arrow: in your first point "money is not time", you offer a simplistic explanation of what happens. Gains usually do not go exclusively to the seller, but to every employee of a business. Most likely, the sales agent is earning very little. It also doesn't apply to every area of business. Selling a hot chocolate for £2.40, for example, or the most basic pizza for £10 is extortion plain and simple.

 

[Mastermind]

Hi Stormblood, I'll address all your points now.

:arrow: inflationary tendencies are not needed. They are the reason for poverty, injustice and an overall fucked up economy.

I tend to agree with you, however until recently we didn't have the tools to make an efficient currency that keeps prices stable. Money that is limited in quantity tends to make prices decrease due to the constant increases in efficiency of production of goods and services. A deflationary tendency makes people afraid to take loans and afraid to take risks. Risk taking for the benefit of society should be encouraged and rewarded if we want progress to happen. With deflationary money you are rewarding those that do not take any risk but just sit on it and wait. Rewarding the lazy while punishing the creative has disastrous long term evolutionary consequences that are hard to undo.

:arrow: you're not priority number 1, no. That is the mentality that has fucked up society. Your priority number 1 is your race. Thinking of yourself first and foremost is what the lowest classes did in the Golden Age. Classes back then were based on wisdom and spiritual power, with the highest having the most of both and the lowest having the least. Nobody in their right mind would want a selfish person to rule them.

If you can't sustain yourself then you become a drag on society. I'm not saying that you should not help others. I'm saying that you should help yourself first. A lot of poverty has been caused by priests telling the poor that if they gave their last penny to the church they would be rewarded. "Selfish" is a guilt word invented by the enemy. Just like "anti-semitism" or "racism." They should be deleted from the dictionary.

:arrow: in your first point "money is not time", you offer a simplistic explanation of what happens. Gains usually do not go exclusively to the seller, but to every employee of a business. Most likely, the sales agent is earning very little. It also doesn't apply to every area of business. Selling a hot chocolate for £2.40, for example, or the most basic pizza for £10 is extortion plain and simple.

There's no such thing as "employee." It's another word that should be deleted from the dictionary. Everyone is in business. "Employer" should just be called "client." Instead of using "employee" try using "seller" or "service provider." By poisoning our vocabulary, the enemy has turned a positive activity, wealth creation, into a negative one.
If I'm selling hot chocolates for £100 and people are happy to pay for that then there's nothing wrong with it. If I'm selling hot chocolates for £100 and people are NOT happy to pay for that then that's fine as well. No one forces anyone to buy anything.
Negotiation is a fundamental part of any business transaction. People that are not in a position to negotiate have either bad luck or they have neglected to put themselves as priority number 1.

Please don't take these words personally. Feel free to disagree and share your opinion.

That's not necessarily true. People can take risks in other ways that do not involve money and benefit from it.

If you can't sustain yourself then you become a drag on society. I'm not saying that you should not help others. I'm saying that you should help yourself first. A lot of poverty has been caused by priests telling the poor that if they gave their last penny to the church they would be rewarded. "Selfish" is a guilt word invented by the enemy. Just like "anti-semitism" or "racism." They should be deleted from the dictionary.

That it's not what is meant by selfish. Selfish is putting yourself first at the expense of others, failing to recognise there are things greater than yourself, such as your children, your race and so on. And one should feel very guilt about it and ashamed about themselves. You can put your race, children and so on, first without neglecting your own growth. It's not either or like the enemy tries to teach but a balanced between yourself and others, which how relationships work. Compromise. Treating others like shit because you are priority number 1 will make you isolated and dead, because human beings cannot survive alone, as they are designed to be specialists, not generalists. Any fool that wouldn't put themselves in danger to prevent their children from being harmed does not deserve to be called human.

You are misunderstanding my message based on your own personal vocabulary. Let me break it down for you. Each item bought from a business pays the business owner, the HR team, the operations team, the sales team, the logistics team, the security team and so on. The business owner isn't the only fee earner, as the other people's wages do no just appear out of thin air or grow on a dollar tree.
And yes, it is morally and ethically wrong to sell hot chocolate for £100 if that amount of money is disproportionate to the cost of living (especially the mean wages). Just because many people silently comply to it because they are lazy and don't want to buy the ingredients and make it at their own place, it doesn't make it any more legitimate. Saying it's all right, it's the same as saying the covid 'vax' is good because the majority is taking it. It's not.

Spiritual Satanism (= National Socialism) is by nature anti-capitalistic and anti-communist as it is against slavery. This is not a path without morality and ethics. Morality and ethics are forms of wisdom developed as one grows in this path, as it's natural. There is a reason why merchants weren't upper class nor royalty in the most advanced civilisation on Earth (Ancient Egypt, Sumer, Babylon, Vedic India, pre-Flavian Rome, Ancient Greece, Norse, Druids...), and the reason is because they are the second-most selfish of individuals, being profit-oriented. As one reaches higher stages of refinement, they will lose this aspect. For example, right above merchants were guardians (e.g. military, law enforcement, lawyers, etc) who devoted their lives to defending people. And right above them, at the pinnacle, were the philosophers, the teachers, the priests, the healers and the rulers, who devoted themselves to serving their own community, ensuring upliftment and eternal beneficial growth.

Service in its pure meaning has nothing to do with total abnegation, but rather doing everything in your power to put your nation first, which obviously includes personal development because being at your best helps you better serve your people. The system worked. Hence why, for example, Ancient Egypt remained virtually unchanged for more than 8000 years (Pyramids were built in 10,000 BSE). Sumerian people and other Mesopotamic civilisations literally had a lifespan of almost 1000 years, with no poverty. Why? Because the SS system works. They were the most just, fair and reasonable societies. Before them, the Vedic Empire spanned the entire White world for tens of thousands of years before it was fragmented due to the enemy attacking Earth.

I'm not taking anything personally. Just making a statement of fact.

Fiat Money is a scam which the government prints out of thin air and the Elites take from banks which convince normal people to give them their fiat and then they use those massive loans to buy up commodities and industries which give them maximum profits as everyone else is running around with their heads cut off.

We need a revolutionary solution for this problem. And that is Decentralized Crypto. But even that will be taken down after the Cyberattaacks. We're essentially fucked. We can't live our lives until we get rid of these bloodthirsty parasitic Jewish Banking families which control the world's money supply.

 

[Mastermind]

And yes, it is morally and ethically wrong to sell hot chocolate for £100 if that amount of money is disproportionate to the cost of living (especially the mean wages).

Tell me what would be a fair amount and please give me the formula that you used to arrive at that amount.

I think for now we should have crypto and cold wallets. Part of the gains from trading and investments should go to build an off-grid community. Obviously, other people that want to live in a temporary community should do this, so resources can be stocked up efficiently. If this is done quite fast, then people can gradually withdraw all funds from their accounts and use them as they wish before the cyber attacks. Or simply keep them in the cold wallet for when we restore the internet. It's not like one would need them anyway in a self-sufficient community.

Every member who wants to join in, should be asked to go through the same process, at least to add a new living space and extra livelihood to the place. If not extra livelihood (farm animals, crops...), then they should be skilled in something helpful for the community. Farmers, electricians, plumbers, healers, martial background (for security and coming also with access to some weaponry), engineers (especially materials and weapons engineers), and so on. Definitely, no need for accountants and bankers in a community like that, or even businessmen. So, if everyone comes from those background, they should contribute with resources rather than expertise.

It would be useful to have experienced people who can give proper martial training too. Weapons, close-combat, etc. as well as proper fitness and conditioning, which at this point would be limited to very basic gymnastics and strongmen-type stuff. Dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells and weird machines are superfluous in military training, as endurance is the main objective. Endurance and stamina don't go well in hand with bulk.

Anyway, that's enough ranting. I know some people in banking, and they told me how they are not really supposed to invest in crypto because their employers tell them not to, yet they do it anyway because they're not stupid :lol:

That is true. However we can't address that problem until we get control of the monetary system.
I don't want to say this as it kinda defeats the purpose of my first post.
We can't get lots of money if we think of it as something that's bad. We have to trick our brains into thinking positively about it. I invite you to take that knowledge about the monetary system, put it into a mental box and quarantine it.

Now, what happens once we take control of the monetary system? What are we going to replace it with? Now is a good time to think about this and get everyone's ideas.
Mine is simple and should lead to theoretically unlimited prosperity for everyone if we enforce this definition: money is a unit of account of how much good one has done to others. Then it becomes a positive force, something to be proud of and no longer a taboo subject.

 

[Mastermind]

Just a word of caution to everyone. If you do a money working, you have to visualize HOW you are going to make money.
If you just visualize it coming to you in unknown ways, from unknown sources and unknown amounts, you may just end up like a beggar.

 

[Mastermind]

No, you should only make money that you want or need.

Thinking like that. you are programming your mind to see money as something that you need. Don't do that! You don't need money! Money is not something that you need to survive. Money is not above you.

This attitude you're promoting here makes people workaholics and anxious and worried about making more.

The enemy is bombarding us constantly with thoughts of retirement. They bombard us with messages saying "once you have enough money, you can enjoy life then."
They are trying to associate making money with something negative. They want you to think "can't wait for it to be over! I hate my job and making money, can't wait to retire!"
We have to reverse that thinking. Making money is a pleasure, something you look forward to when you wake up in the morning. It's not a burden and you should not seek to ever stop making money.

I need to state the obvious: Making money is good, but not making money is also good, if this is your thing.

Not making money is not bad but it's not good.

I have seen many people who are anxious and depressed because they "should be making more", they have the exact same stressful mentality you are promoting. Don't use the word "should" when it comes to money or other personal things.

You are misunderstanding me. I'm trying to remove people's ideas that there should be a limit to how much money they should make. People should not feel compelled to make money but neither should they imagine a limit.

I myself used to think that making money was the ultimate thing, but as I passed my 30s I learned to be fine with simple pleasures. I don't need to make more money than I need for a living.

You are associating money with stress, with negativity.
I could "retire" right now if I wanted to. Should I close my business? What are my customers going to do? Who is going to satisfy them? I enjoy doing business and making my clients happy and I'll never stop till my last breath.

An external thing doesn't make you happy. I am again stating the obvious here: happiness always comes from the inside, not from the outside, and doesn't depend on external things. Which is why two people may have opposite feelings about the same thing. Happiness mostly comes from the thoughts you think about a specific thing, and not the thing itself. Believe it or not, there are people who feel happy with the smallest things, even with things that others find disgusting.

You can't wait for something in the future to make you happy, you can only be happy now, regardless of what material possessions you have, by training your mind.

All I was trying to say was that spending money is good to remove the association spending=bad that the enemy bombards us with.
We have to remove ALL negative thoughts about money, whatever they are. Hoarding it is good. Spending is good. Loving it is good. Money = good.

 

[Mastermind]

Just to drive the point home: I would not stop working even if I made no money at all.
Money does not drive me. Making others happy does.

Following your line of thought, they could just bomb your pacific island at any time on a whim. This is no time for migration. It's time to stay in your soul land and protect it.

If only we could do a full SS community off-the-grid, then it would be completely possible to shield from the enemy. Miracles can be done to the point they wouldn't even be able to find us at all, even if we were literally under their hooknose and pulling faces at them. Unfortunately, now is not the time for a grand meeting.

Become a scientist, an engineer. A true SS with true aptitude in those fields could build weapons and protective equipment that put 'modern' militaries to shame. Just think of people like Tesla and Archimides, who probably had something in common if they weren't the same person altogether. Da Vinci. Real geniuses unlike the Americans. The truth is that English-speaking countries for centuries have only had better education facilities, but the genius had been completely purged from them. They only can get geniuses by stealing them from other countries, especially European countries, most of which on the other hand lack proper facilities and proper higher education experiences.

Anyway, I am diverging too much from the topic title, so I'll stop the rant here.

Making money is good

Some believe that it matters more how you spend money than how you earn money.
That's wrong.
What you do with it (if you do anything with it) after you've earned it doesn't matter.
Some believe that if one is to do good, one has to spend money for good causes or donate to this or that charity. While that is certainly a good thing, people forget that just by earning money you are doing good to others.
People wrongly assume that, if you are given money in exchange for a product or service, that everything is settled. It is not. The money itself is useless. You can't do anything with it, except burn it. Thus the party that receives the good or service is better off. You've done good to others and you've received useless paper in exchange.
This is really important to understand. Imagine what would happen if we all stopped producing goods and stopped exchanging services with each other. The world would turn to shit rather quickly.
Imagine someone that works his entire life, producing goods and services and getting money in return. He works tirelessly and saves every penny. He never spends money on anything other than the most cheap food and accommodation. Just before his death, he burns $10 million and then dies. How would you call this person? To me, he's a hero, having served so many people. To a parasite, he's stingy and selfish.

View money as a thank you letter.
While you want to give thanks to others, you should also find ways for others to thank you, as much as possible and as often as possible.
Also, thanks are cheap, so you need to always push for the most appreciation in every deal you make.

 

[Mastermind]

When selling something, always seek the most money you can get.
When buying something, always seek to pay the least.
You are working for Satan here. Your time and effort are more valuable than that of someone else.
