*Mar*The Barter Inspiration-Vs-The Monetization Greed


The Barter system, governed by belief in God, created intense desire in
every individual to contribute to the society. Every individual dedicated
and toiled to give to the society. The urge to give was the basic
motivation. The satisfaction of giving was income.

The belief in God was continuously reinforced by the free flora and fauna,
wherein, breathing, smelling and sensing, continuously reinforced the
social and personal Theism. Belief in God was the belief in nature as
sacred and sacrosanct. God oozed from every organism, no, from every nano
meter of space. People produced believing that God was giving them by
enabling their capacity to produce and give. God and Nature were synonyms.

The bond between the society and the individual was emotional, and society
distributed the total collection of contributions to the members under the
benevolent monitoring of the king, the human incarnation of God. The belief
in God translated into intense belief in the authority of the king. And
life was a mission. The very concept of the economic man was obscene. The
people were not beggars. They were willing to sacrifice their lives. The
mission of life was all important. Till recently in India, governed by
traditions and customs, the caste system in the villages drove a part of
the economy in the barter traditions. Every caste had Gods; the Gods
directed the caste, who made the members of the caste strive for the
mission of the caste.

The new and new discoveries and revelations in the shape of new insights
based on breathing, smelling and sensing, was the science of missions of
life. The missions were hormonal in each individual. Every cell in every
individual was active.

How life as a mission changed into the greed and individual ambition driven
Egoistic and Anthropocentric money economy, an economy which has created
permanent neuron storms in the mind, which discounts discoveries and
revelations and glorifies new and new machines of technology, the
technology that has snapped the emotional connect to every cell in one’s
body, is our history of misfortune. One’s own connection of cells with
nature has been cut by these emotions-less machines.

We do not realize that not a single emotion can be quantified or reduced
into mathematical equation. Despite all the bluff of Psychometrics, the
fact remains that you cannot tell your happiness or unhappiness or any
other emotions, in miles, liters or kilos. Emotions refuse to be cut from
nature to help you in your mathematical reduction. You cannot separate
emotions from your breathing. The joke called economics, which starts with
the definition that it is a study of man in his ordinary day today life,
ditches man from the very next chapter with all sorts of cost curves,
revenue curves, demand curve, supply curve,etc, etc,as a result of which
the man gets changed into the economic man, the emotionless machine. One
gets swamped with unrealistic mathematics, because in economics there is
the intense urge to imitate the Newtonian Physics, to feel equal to the
classical physics.

The simple fact is, people can be teamed up only by missions, not by
mechanics and technology. Just question yourself-Do you want missions or
machines?
