This was a great series, Franklin, and I will go back and read it again. I began writing a comment to your first article, but stopped because it got too long, but you mentioned the gist of it in this article. Our currency touches every aspect of the 7 Pillars. Most of us trade hours of our life (our life force) for currency, which is manipulated and controlled for the specific purpose of enslaving us by the bankers. If you read their open admissions in their 19th century literature, it is astounding how evil they are. The love of money, not money, or even the pursuit of things that money will buy, is the root of all evil.
If the currency is inflated and manipulated, we cannot buy healthy food. We cannot afford adequate housing. Both parents must work, which destroys family cohesiveness. Financial despair spurs escapism through drugs and alcohol, which destroys the spirit. It removes hope from the next generation, they believe they will work their entire lives just to get by, and cannot afford to procreate, which is the greatest joy in life. Children give life meaning and purpose.
Now in my 50’s with two adult children who are working, I find myself pondering how they are spending the precious, finite hours of their life. A thirty-minute drive to and from work, nine hours at the job, five days a week, for decades, for what purpose? To earn currency to live. Anyone who is old enough to look back on a career and raising children sees that they wasted a lot of time on frivolous, inconsequential things, and didn’t spend enough time on the things that truly mattered. As the adage goes: Nobody has “I wish I had spent more time at the office” written on their headstone.
But self-awareness allows us to change going forward. Thank you for the reminder of what is important. Hopefully those of us who are waking up, and I do see an awakening, can change this world for the better for our children’s sake.

Yes! Thank you for this series. It is giving me hope.
