Dust to dust

Month, Day: Sovereignty, Mercy (Majesty)

We may continue with a few questions and commentary, based upon the Hidden Words, for awhile.

Hidden Word #74 says: " O CHILDREN OF VAINGLORY! For a fleeting sovereignty ye have abandoned My imperishable dominion, and have adorned yourselves with the gay livery of the world and made of it your boast. By My beauty! All will I gather beneath the one-colored covering of the dust and efface all these diverse colors save them that choose My own, and that is purging from every color."

This applies to many things about our choices, including economy, and money, which we know is essential to any advancing civilization. The 20th century saw us remove money from any attachment to things material, supposedly as a step of advancement. One question is whether this may have gone too far and opened up the door to recent, and past, shenanigans.

Taking that further, money would have spirit that is tied to the material; nowadays, we're talking mostly ephemeral bits flowing via electro-magnetic properties through the ether (in the proper sense - to be defined) and through circuity; not far from being rather illusory.

How do we measure ourselves and our assets (including good works, products, etc.), which we are to do daily? Of course, such measures would include those related to economics, especially in terms of taking care of ourselves, family, and community.

Is it that we're not to fear an accumulation of wealth if we have the right perspective? So many questions?

Remarks:

10/04/2010 -- Friction can beget progress. Too, though, as excessive weight is not good for the physical health, too much moolah can be (is) detrimental to a proper spiritual view. Ah, some will argue not; yet, with hugh accumulations, how does one escape the psychetheral aspects? Not!! As well, the concept of 'simple living' (no, not vow of poverty - per se) needs some attention as a means to argue for just economics.

09/13/2009 -- Economics requires additional attention.
