Well if time = money then we could also come to another conclusion, let’s
calculate:
If I want to find a woman I need time and money, so:
woman = time * money
Since we where talking about time = money, let’s use that:
woman = money * money
I think we can also agree on that money is the root of all evil:
woman = square_root(evil) * square_root(evil)
So we end up with:
woman = evil

David,
“
Quoting you: (this is a bit of a long one, but then what is time?)
In this mest world, time is money.
Every second costs money.
Got to at least pay for shelter and food.
:) “
Hmmm ?! :), my initial thought: (Another longish one, a kinda freight train to
be honest, a grand heist of the heist of the ages, hijacking the hijacker)
In the context of what Dennis spoke of in the recordings and TROM, is that in
logic, a thing is itself and not another thing.
From this starting place I have to say, if I’m being all logical Spock and
accurate about it : ) that time is in fact time and nothing else, money is
money and nothing else, there is no real or intrinsic link to anything else
except what we have given it, there is no actual link between time and money
except in our minds, probably developed through the repetition of the alluring
mantra “time is money” (and other similar such ones) we’ve likely all heard a
million times! [ I have/had many family members like that and pretty successful
in it by all accounts ]
Though I agree and see rationally we live in and have to deal with the
artefacts of such believing/perceiving, I do not automatically acquiesce to the
loaded suggestion, I say No, time is time, and money is money, and even then
I’m not quite certain what those are or mean exactly?!
Only that I’ve heard and seen them referenced many millions of times by people
I once and continue to live with, who seemed to deem them with some all
importance, more so than almost anything else, their own power to create being
one of them, their own freedom as being a close second, and so on some level I
did, but never completely, it never sat right with me this time and money
business, like an itch.
Maybe I missed something, probably someone of greater intelligence will have to
explain these concepts and why/how they’re linked in reality, or perhaps I
should put myself up for ‘correction’ and having these concepts drummed and
drilled into my brain until I see sense like everyone else seems to?! : ) ...NOT
I have to say I just do not get the link, is there something obvious I am
overlooking, something you understand I do not?
Still I have a pocket full of money and more still on the way, and then more
again, and of course a mind full of time and a body/brain latched onto the idea
this is all gonna help me survive and progress, and it probably will, but then
deeper down I know its all so unnecessary, a silly game we play and believe in
for the future which probably does not exist either.
As I see it, in reality we do not need money or tokens to survive any material
life condition, they may in fact in many cases be counter survival/well-being,
having a dumbing effect, reducing spark and creativity, promoting laziness and
degenerate so called ‘easy and convenient’ solutions, I know many wealthy sick
people and vice versa (and the other way around too: ‘healthy wealthy’ and
‘sick poor’), so again no real or absolute correlation between
money/time/survival/wellness as far as I see.
There is a big fat DEPENDS sitting in that assumption of “time = money” for me.
Yet while we; you, I, it (the programmed machine which releases the drink or
choc-bar or allows entry/exit of some sort for the journeying meatsack) believe
we do need money, and that there is some intrinsic relationship between money
and time, that it is against the law not to have any of it and use it, taboo
not to think in terms of them, while we are patterned and set in a mode in
which it seems and feels and thinks and perceives we do need it, and there is
some definitive link, while we’re willing to invest our source potency and life
force in it, give our mental faculties to it, then of course it seems we do and
there is, and that will probably only increase in realness, until one day it no
longer does or can, which I predict is very very soon, right now even.
Again, being the closest equivalent to god here, or even god itself having a
sneeky peek into manifestation, who or what can argue with us or stop us but us
believing and acting out all we do?
Only us!
I’m personally breaking that link of time and money, demolishing that false
premise of time, its been tossed on my alchemical fire as far as I’m concerned
; ) But of course I’m still willing to use it, still willing to see the link,
only not as any sort of foundational reality, its a fiction and always will be
one, regardless of body/game sensations, I ain’t buyin’ it! ( But I’ll still be
spending my money and playin’ time as long as it flows : )
