Introduction All change begins with a thought which is processed with the six tools or senses of the mind (Intuition, Imagination, Memory, Perception, Reason, and Will) and then either implemented or discarded. Often times the idea or thought is “run through the mill” hundreds or even thousands of times before it is tweaked enough to become reality. The thought I am presenting today is a Love Based Economy or Society (LBE). I use the terms economy and society interchangeably because they are each integral to the workings of any civilization. Economy is the source energy or vehicle if you will for the Society to operate. The word Society implies a group of people or more specifically the consciousness of a group. The idea of a Love Based Society is not new or even unique and has been around all your life. John Lennon wrote and sung about it as have countless others over the centuries. The wonderful fact is the time has come to embrace this thought with all your heart, because you are not alone. Energy is shifting and the opportunity is ripe! The Universe is in alignment for the transformation of this world to a LBE. I write now about this because I have seen it manifesting all around me and I am excited for the future of mankind. We have made it past the hardest of the changes and as more individuals embrace the new earth the faster and smoother the transformation will go. The way to embrace the future is to wake up and take action in living a sustainable life. Live your life on purpose! Consider others in all your decisions and not just family. Think about the animals and plants that are affected by your choices. Consider the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the soil we grow our food in. Be compassionate! The world I see is much like the Venus Project and I suggest you go to their site and explore some. The videos they offer are very informative and present some great ideas for creating the world of your dreams. The process is easy, take one step at a time and do not be in a hurry. The Venus Project is already on phase three of

its development and has been in motion since the 70‟s. This next phase is a big leap into the future of mankind. It involves building a city to the specifications of this new ideal. Much of the technology needed already exists today (Please see the videos). Keep in mind this is one idea, and many exist. What are yours? Now is the time to focus your vision. I pray this eBook will help in this process. For more in depth information on how the Venus Project is being implemented please read the FAQ here. One of the key factors in this process is the world coming together and this is happening as you read this! It is possible and in fact a requirement for the future of mankind to have a world without borders, nationalism, or religion. We can no longer afford to fight over imaginary lines and ego claimed resources. The fact is plain, the earth is one and we are a part of earth not the other way around! Can you imagine your brain cells claiming ownership over your body? Charging the blood cells for entering its space? How about your skin charging the other organs for protection? Can you see the absurdity of our present world economic system? The world is one big organism called Gaia. You can hold on to the old ways and perish with them (flushed off like a dead skin cell) or you can open your heart and take a step back to see the bigger picture (embrace your role in this process). All is well. Everything that happens is meant to in the Divine Schema. The actions you take today add to the greater good! Please do not ever think you are not important! Your part is vital to the final outcome. Only you know what that part is, listen carefully - Spirit speaks.

Ownership Ownership as a concept in the LBE is abandoned because each person realizes the inherent illusion in ownership. We as an enlightened society embrace honesty and truth to the point that it pervades each aspect of society. The past is not the future, unless you make it so. The idea of paying for the right to use something that was originally meant for all beings to share equally simply is no longer acceptable. The present conditions we impose on each other where created so that an economic system would operate. Think about it for a minute. You do work of some type and are paid for it, you then turn around and pay others for services you need to survive. It is a contrived system that separates and stratifies society, and simply does not allow equality! This system served its purpose and now it is time to move on to a cashless system where we no longer have to get something before we give of ourselves. Each person in a LBE realizes the source of all love, accepts their role in this love, and acts with compassion. Gaia or Nature truly "owns" everything on earth as she provides the materials and can destroy anything we create. The idea of ownership when you really think about it is absurd. Even if you create something wonderful, it is not yours because you got the inspiration from Holy Spirit, and used materials from Gaia or Nature, all you did was put them together in your own unique way. Now yes, this is a great gift and makes the world a beautiful place to live, but it is not ownership. It is giving. No ownership frees the world to live a life of safety and security. If citizens know they have food to eat, a warm place to sleep and other people to love and support them doesn't this provide a powerful platform to live your life from? There is no concern about who's home you live in, or who's food you eat or who's clothing you wear, because you know in your heart that it is yours as much as anyone's. Each person in a LBE honors possession as the law, and at the same time each person only takes what they need at the moment always thinking about other's needs above their own. This is a compassionate and loving way to live, this is a LBE.

Oneness The concept of Oneness is the key to a Love Based Economy, so I would like to revisit this concept, understanding, philosophy, life style, and/or way of being. Oneness once fully understood and integrated totally shifts your experience of life itself. It could be said that this is enlightenment; although once you understand Oneness you see that you already are enlightened. This is the beauty of Oneness! Oneness is all inclusive and very simple in concept, but the reality in this ego world is that separation is struggling to maintain a hold on your life. This shows up in turmoil, conflict and loneliness. The only way to move beyond the illusion of separation is to embrace it and see it for what it is; an illusion. When something comes up that you recognize as separation, simply acknowledge it, see beyond it and then just leave separation behind as a concept. Ignore it, it has no power. Instead focus on the Truth. The Truth is that we are One, Unified and Whole Being. We are Gaia! Oneness is Unity expressed, it is love thy neighbor as thy loves oneself, it is making decisions with the consideration of seven generations to come, it is knowing we are all made of „Starstuff‟, and it is so much more. Oneness is the realization that everyone you meet is a part of Great Spirit, Universal Intelligence, or God, just like you are, and that you have that in common with everything as well as everyone you meet. Each person is individual and connected at the same time. What you give, you give to yourself, since we are all one. What you deny for another, you deny yourself. When you heal yourself, you heal the world! You are using the same mind as Albert Einstein, or Mother Theresa. You are ONE with GOD, in a word you are GOD, expressing as the individual that you are. Each form or “thing” you see is unique onto itself. This means that no two snowflakes are the same and yet a snowflake is like all other snowflakes, just not identical. This goes for all other forms as well. This is why when you meet someone new they are unique and yet they are YOU. The only constant in this universe is change, so embrace change and honor each form you meet. When life is lived from a place of Oneness we become aware of the bond that connects all of life.

“What is arising now is not a new belief system, a new religion, spiritual ideology, or mythology. We are coming to the end not only of mythologies but also of ideologies and belief systems. The change goes deeper than the content of your mind, deeper than your thoughts. In fact, at the heart of the new consciousness lies the transcendence of thought, a newfound ability of rising above thought, of realizing a dimension within yourself that is infinitely more vast than thought.” Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth, Page 2122 This dimension is the Oneness I speak of. It is something that must be experienced to truly know what it is, but once that connection is made it is a part of you and cannot be lost. By simply being aware of this Oneness you are shining light on the shadows and allowing yourself to move beyond thought. In order for a Love Based Economy to work, each person needs to be aware of what Oneness is and how it relates to them and the rest of existence. The good news is that this is exactly what is happening all over the world right now! People are awakening to Divine Oneness and embracing it. Nameste' :-) Sequoia Elisabeth

Relationships Relationships in the LBE revert back to their only true purpose of sharing God's Love. In more recent times it seems the ego has hijacked relationships to create separation and further its cause in this world, to keep you stuck here. The fundamental premise of a LBE is Love is of God, not man. When unconditional, omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent Love is embraced your Divine purpose is fulfilled. In a LBE each citizen understands, accepts and acts from this Divine Love. Relationships are an expression of who you are, so that no matter who you meet they are a reflection of you, the Divine. This is fully understood in a LBE and embraced. Relationships are experienced awake and aware of all the dynamics of being human. There are no victims, only volunteers. Courage will still be necessary to nurture any relationship be it Love, friendship, or acquaintance. Adversarial relationships are no longer necessary in LBE because each person sees the Divine in each person they meet. Growth is occurring now as a conscious choice and not because another person pushes you. We have realized that lack and suffering are not necessary and are a thing of the past in a LBE. Growth happens on all levels as a function of the expanding Universe. Regardless of what we do growth in consciousness carries us along like a bubble in an expanding sphere. Each person you meet in a LBE is family, so the birth family is less important, although they still serve a function in the early years of life. The birth mother and father may or may not be the ones raising the child, since we all embrace each other as family. It will depend on the living situation, need and often there will be many who raise the child. The elderly have taken the role of being child care providers so that the children can learn from those who are the wisest. It is no longer the young woman's duty to raise the children. They are strong and their skills are put to other uses which harmonize with the woman. It may include child care or it may not. The key is that everyone in the child's life is supportive and helpful. No longer can a child be lost or forgotten. Dating is something done from the desire to share of one's self, for the sharing of Joy. Marriage is no longer the norm, because unions take place at a spiritual level and are not controlled by the church or government. Each person loves all whom they meet and since no fear based diseases exist intimacy occurs freely and with the knowledge of the

Divine depending on the individual's energy at the time. The innate desire to start a family and having children has become intimately tied into nature and the desires of Mother Earth. Populations are controlled by need and availability of resources in an intuitive way, much like animals control their populations. Polyamorous, Pansexual relationships are the norm in a Love Based Society. Anything goes because each person is loving and supportive of others. The concept of ownership is long past (doing away with possessive and jealous behavior) and each person is only interested in expressing God's Love. Diversity is not only embraced it is celebrated!

Family We begin now an in depth look at each aspect of the Love Based Economy (LBE) starting with family, because family is central to most every society in the world today. For our discussion relating family to the Love Based Economy we are speaking of birth family, those persons related by bloodlines. Although many children are orphaned and are raised by loving souls who deserve the title of mother and father just as much as anyone does. It has always been my belief that all humans are family. Please know that those whom you consider family because they fit the role are by all means your family. Historically speaking the birth family is a unit that acts as one, each person supporting the others in one way or another, even if that means being the antagonist. Family's stick together and learn from each other in very deep ways. The potential for spiritual growth is greatest with the birth family because the ties run deep and so many traits are shared between members. Your parents are closest to you because you are cut from the same mold so to speak. This close connection serves you by showing you who you are. It is like having a blueprint to work from, or a starting point. Where you go and what you do with your life as you grow is free will. Your choice! These choices were carefully made before you were born so that your life would have a guiding path. What many couples fail to realize or at least heed is the influence of their relationship on the children. The children learn to love by watching the parents! So if the parents were not very good at loving each other, the children will look elsewhere for role models, the grandparents, neighbors, teachers, coaches, clergy, and public figures like movie stars, athletes and politicians. It is rare these days for anyone to actually teach how to love, what a good relationship is, or the meaning of it all. This role has traditionally been the parent's job, although clergy and spiritual leaders do also teach love. And there is no guarantee that they have it figured out! If the child is paying attention life itself teaches Love. One of the most valuable gifts you can give your children is to have a healthy relationship with your partner so they can learn from you. Telling someone facts or giving instructions means little unless it is backed up with experience, either direct or indirect. Siblings are also our teachers as they provide support and test us constantly to help us gauge where we stand in our understanding. It is important to understand that one person's mistakes can be another person's perfect action. Plus if your sibling does things one way, you have the freedom to do it your way or follow their lead. We are indeed all in this together.

The other point that needs be stressed here is that there is no right or wrong way to love! Most of us learn by trial and error, as long as you keep on putting yourself out there and stay aware of what is working for you and what is not. In the new economy it is imperative to stay awake and aware. The dynamics of the family will be similar, but the one thing that will change is our definition of family per se. It will no longer be restricted to birth family and will encompass all other human beings. Birthright will take on a wider more encompassing meaning. A LBE depends on each member supporting each other, as family members do. This means doing what you can to assist others and maintaining an open and welcoming policy in your home. Every human being is a reflection of the One and seeing them in that light is pivotal to a LBE. Many stories have been written over the years that demonstrate this in both the positive (what to do), and in the negative (what not to do), however few of these stories actually have true unconditional love demonstrated. We know it when we experience it because the feeling of Joy lifts us, literally enlightening us, giving the feeling of floating and being energized from within. In the future I see the centralized birth family being de-emphasized and a more universal family approach taking center stage, because as we evolve the lessons we learn from family will be less prevalent. Our learning will extend further from the doorway (Family). As a higher evolved being the feeling of safety and security is extended out to include the community and beyond. A loving being living in a loving world has no enemies.

Homes The next look at a Love Based Economy (LBE) is how the home is affected. Certain concepts are key in this new economy and as the economy changes so will our homes. This principle has been around for a long time, but is as important as ever. Home is where the heart is. Basically this means where you focus your love and attention you are supported and safe. When you enter a new house, say of a friend, with an open mind and positive attitude the reception you get reflects this. It also means that even if you don't have a house of your own, you can still make anywhere your home by how you treat that area, be it a mansion or a box on the street. The environment in which you live either supports or impedes you. When you put loving, caring attention into a place that is what you get out of it. This is done by keeping the area clean, organized, attractively decorated and comfortable. You can tell if the area is supportive by how you feel there, and how you feel after you leave. Being aware of your surroundings at all times is part of the experience in a LBE, because being aware makes the area alive and lifts your spirits quite literally. Houses are sustainable, eco friendly and supportive of everyone in the new LBE. In order to create a comfortable environment all factors must be considered, because we know that life itself depends on our actions or footprint if you will. Thinking of others even when it is only a tadpole or tree is what a LBE is all about. Loving and supporting the environment leads to a loving and support place to live, simple huh? We are no longer attached to homes as a sense of identity in the LBE. A home is where you sleep and live for a certain numbers of hours a day, but it is not who you are, just as your body or your car is not who you are either. In a LBE economy self worth is intrinsic and it is not sought in the outside world. Quite the opposite actually, because the home is made to support you and make you comfortable, life is about your activities and not

about having the nicest home, or the biggest. It is what you give, not what you get. The egoist aspects to the home are a thing of the past. In a LBE everyone has the basics a home provides, as equally as possible. This is about equal resource allocation and meeting each person's basics needs, not about showing off or living a grandiose life. Everyone and no one is a millionaire in a LBE. In a LBE the citizens care about each other as much as they care about themselves. If one person is deprived then everyone is. This is the basic premise to Oneness and a LBE. Through the power of technology social class is eliminated. The LBE has no need for social class or power mongering. Since the basics of life are provided equally each person can explore self fulfillment in any way they choose. The natural order of life will direct each person through their desire to serve humanity. The more a person loves life the more life will love them back! In a LBE everyone knows this and opens the door to exponential growth!

Entertainment en·ter·tain·ment –noun 1. The act of entertaining; agreeable occupation for the mind; diversion; amusement 2. Something affording pleasure, diversion, or amusement. 3. Hospitable provision for the needs and wants of guests. In a Love Based Society entertainment is integral to daily life. Since all work is volunteer almost all tasks are engaged from Joy, Love and Sharing. Even if the task is dirty, difficult or tedious the person performing this task is enjoying themselves simply in the sharing of their talents. Each person has many hours each day to enjoy the simple pleasures of life and so many activities are available to amuse! In fact it is the number one occupation since the basics of life are provided by machines and automation. Movies are available in many forms, including 2D, 3D, and 4D. They are available at the theatre, dinner theatre, private showings, amusement parks, businesses, homes and on individual viewing devices. The power of this medium is fully understood now and all movies support the LBE. Nothing is produced which creates fear. Most programming is educationally based in some way. The news informs about current events, show cases individuals from around the community and simply reports information in a neutral format. Movies are both entertaining and didactic. TV programming much like today covers all subjects, and is informative, educational and entertaining. Fear is no longer even an issue since all citizens are born into a Loving environment and raised on these principles. Love is our natural way, so it comes easily for each and every person! Virtual reality is now common place so each person is able to enjoy an immersive environment that is only limited by a person's imagination. Much like a holodeck made famous on Star Trek, the individual can enjoy many diverse experiences which are so thorough that even the person's body is perceived as a certain role and in appropriate form, meaning that any body shape, form, gender, species, and/or color can be experienced. With machines providing all basic needs people are left to invent and develop the technology to amazing levels, the holodeck is the result of these efforts.

Since resources are no longer wasted on war or conflict abundance is available for all types of entertainment. A LBE sees the larger picture that each person is merely a player, an actor if you will, so war is still recreated in the holodeck for educational purposes such as history, personal growth and mental therapy, but no one is harmed, and in fact it is used to heal past life wounds. Entertainment in a LBE encompasses all aspects of daily living making life both fun and beneficial for all. We are each guests in our own creation! Food Eating in a LBE is more community based than ever before. Food is grown locally and shared freely. No one goes hungry in a LBE because each person lives knowing we are all family. We now understand that poverty is a consciousness and is perpetuated by both the have's and the have not's. Those who hoard wealth are just as responsible for starving children as the children themselves. Not to say that each individual is not responsible for their own abundance. Poverty is based in fear, so when you live with Love there is no fear of having enough, what you have is shared freely and you know there will always and all ways be more. Each community works together to provide as much fresh farmed food as possible using the most modern equipment and automation. Beside the large agrarian areas, food is grown in aquaponic greenhouse factories in the city and in individual homes. Each home that has land will grow basic food items to reduce the need in the overall system. Hunting is no longer practiced in a LBE although it is not outlawed. Hunting preserves are allowed where the Native practice of honoring the animal is exercised and the entire process is a Spiritual joining of man and beast. All parts of the animal are used and meat eaten. Meat for the mass population is farmed with loving intention, the animals are treated humanely and sustainably. Since meat is no longer the main course the demand for meat is far less which makes sustainable farming more practical. Farmed animals know their purpose and live to serve just as their ancestors did for the native peoples. Eating is still a ceremony that is celebrated in diverse ways and gratitude for those who brought the food to the table, from the plant or animal itself to the person consuming the food, all are honored. We all know that the whole process is energy changing forms and is as natural as a seed germinating.

In a LBE food is one tool for living a life based in Love. Because each action we take is a statement of our Love. This means respecting our food, being grateful and using sustainable methods in the entire process. Carrots and Broccoli are as alive as a chicken or cow, so it is this life vitality that is consumed. The method of doing such is what makes a Love Based Economy/Society different than today's. As you bless your food so does your food bless you.

Water Next we look at water and its vital role in a LBE. As an essential to life on earth, water in a LBE is protected, honored and shared equally. Since it is not possible to own water, no matter what form it comes in, all people share its use equally and responsibly. The most advanced technology is used to clean the water depending on where the community is. Desalination plants are used if an ocean is nearby. If in a low water area such as a desert, community's work together to provide water for all citizens. Water is something that brings people together either in charity or in recreation, sometimes both! Water based recreation continues to be a major past time the world over, while each person remembers to respect native species and not pollute the waterways. Watercrafts are no longer carbon powered. Each citizen enjoys the water in a loving way. Water in a LBE flows freely and is used often for its aesthetic, medicinal and energetic properties. Schools teach the metaphysical properties of water along with the chemical and physical properties so each student has a rounded education which only adds to the child's appreciation of Mother Earth. Fountains, water art, and natural waterfalls abound because it is known that water is healing, calming and nurturing. Its feminine energy is both soft and hard, weak and strong. It takes three different forms, vapor, liquid and solid. It is the universal solvent and medium for myriad solutions. So what's not to honor about this amazing life giving, life sustaining substance? Loving it comes easy.

Vocation In the new LBE where resources are equally shared technology takes over the hard labor and frees people to follow their dreams. Jobs are voluntary because all our physical needs are now met and we celebrate our diversity by sharing our unique gifts with society. People do what they do best, create. Each person follows their inner guidance and meets the needs of not only themselves, but society as well. Creation comes in many forms, from art to zeitgeist. Art, music, performance acting, and the like are popular as forms of self expression now and even more so in a LBE because people now understand that everything you create is artistic self expression. You may have heard the expression, practicing the art of medicine. All vocations are an art form whether you create music, care for the needy, or design power generators. Service is the major vocation throughout the world today and this will only grow in a LBE. Since the grunt work is done by machines very few people are needed to keep things running. When people come from the place of Love, they are more inclined to find the good in everything they experience. It is a cup runneth over mentality! In the LBE people are in tune with the soul and thus always come from a space of Joy whether they are happy or sad. We still feel the gamut of emotions, only now we have mastered their use. The past 2000 years has been about learning to master emotion so that we can move into the next level of existence. Congratulations, we have arrived! It is time to let go and let God. Celebrate all you have learned thus far and know that you are ready for the next step, a Love Based Society/Economy. You begin right now by asking yourself one simple question in every situation, "What would Love do now?"

Government The world of separation, borders, and nationalities is a thing of the past as the nations of the world follow the path of the Berlin wall. Power is now in the hands of individuals who embrace the new earth with open hearts, keen minds and strong bodies. Communities are emerging with a spirit of interdependence and cooperation for the highest and best good, because we all see now that there is only one. Gaia is united. The world is now organized as a collection of metropolises with large ones being surrounded by smaller ones. Many were built around old cities, but most were constructed on new ground, since it was too complicated, inefficient and unproductive to build on existing sites. The shift in consciousness came in 2010 and then swept the world within only a few short years. The construction of new cities, communities and social structure followed the LBE imperative with government not really being important in these communities. All public service positions are voluntary with a 2 term consecutive limit. This includes all leadership positions at all levels. The Highest and Best Good of everyone is kept as a central guiding principle, of which each person instinctively knows. Automation has taken over many of the tasks, so there are few political positions to fill. The few who do work in government do so in Joy and the spirit of serving their fellow citizens. Each person is stepping up and helping out right where they are and this cooperative spirit proves to be more than enough to move the world into a new age. Physically the infrastructure has taken only 20 years to put into place and is evolving constantly. The more systems which are automated the less demand there is for a central governing body and so they are abandoned one by one. Now that each citizen understands their role in the LBE (do what you do best to serve the community) and that each is a reflection of God the need for medical care, crime prevention, and law enforcement has all but disappeared. The need for Government in a LBE economy still exists but is no longer a position of power. As it always was intended to be, it is a position of service and for this reason the positions are easy to fill. With money, career advancement and personal gain removed from the picture, honesty and integrity have naturally returned. Love is the way.

Transportation Transportation in a Love Based Economy/Society (LBE) is our next topic of discussion. Getting around in a LBE uses the highest level of technological advancement available. There is no cost involved, and availability is abundant. Since the cities are constructed around a central hub automated vehicles run constantly in a cycle around the city. Supplies are brought in by supply train for distribution to the final location. Cars and trucks are not allowed in the city, but are still used out in the country, between cities, and by enthusiasts. Fossil fuels are no longer in use, so older vehicles are retrofitted with fuel cells or zeropoint generators. Walking is a favorite activity so each loving person does so whenever the distance is less than one mile. Many people will walk five miles a day simply because they can. If for some reason they cannot walk, technology takes over so going where you want, by peddle, wheel, or air is never a concern. The concept of ownership is obsolete in a LBE. As is the case in every aspect of a LBE, services are free and abundant, while also respected, and never abused. When you need a vehicle you simply get in and go. There are no locks or keys to worry with. When done you make sure the vehicle is left in a ready condition for the next user. Since there are plenty of vehicles no person goes without, and even if there is a high demand each person makes sure others are served first. Common areas of high demand like stadiums and theatres have mass transit serving them whenever events are scheduled. The central computer handles all systems so a balanced flow of traffic is moving at all times. To think otherwise is counterproductive since all individuals realize that thought is creative and what you focus on grows. In a LBE people demand clean, efficient, and well maintained services in a loving and caring way, always taking into consideration other people's needs. The LBE is all about freedom, so transportation is liberation, not limitation. Moving about where you wish is simply a matter of making it so, expressing your loving and caring essence all the while.

Communication The new earth (a Love based Economy/Society, LBE) is made up of core cities all over the world close to, but not exactly where cities are located today. Cities will come in four sizes, Metropolis (1 million or more population), Large city (100,000-999,999 population), small city (1,000 to 99,999) and rural maintenance city (under 1000 population). Suburbia is almost non-existent, because 97% of the population lives in a city. Arable land is utilized by machine and the wilderness is left for wild things. Each city is connected to all others by an inter-world communications net built right into any and all infrastructure. Just as we have phone lines today each building has communication nodes installed which transmit signals wirelessly. Each community has its own grid of wireless networks so anyone can speak to anyone else anywhere in the world from wherever they are with a good quality signal even from buildings below ground or in remote rural maintenance cities. Like raindrop ripples on a smooth lake the calls go out to cover the world and beyond. Communication in a LBE is conducted in diverse ways and as all else, is totally free. Public Comm Centers equipped with all available communication modes are provided in commonly used areas such as transportation centers, shopping areas, educational sites, and entertainment centers as a convenience to those who have misplaced theirs or simply as backup to personal communication devices. All communicators automatically translate any known language, so talking to those in other countries is as simple as saying hello. Traditional mail and email are still used on a limited basis for those who choose them, however most prefer telepathy, text or voice communication. Protocols or guidelines are in place for the use of telepathy (a form of telepathy exists today, so this is not far off). In a LBE each citizen respects the others right to privacy. It must be remembered that in a LBE all actions come from Love and are Loving. As the ability to communicate by telepathy grows, learning to keep thoughts private is learned rather quickly. (In a LBE privacy is not an issue because we all realize Oneness, meaning the one mind knows all there is to know and we access it on a need to know basis.) The new earth is characterized by a Universal understanding of Oneness and its ramifications. Each thought, word and action is carefully processed by our increased mental capacity which has been growing over many years of evolution. (The future is now, consider how much more intelligent the average person is today compared to just 300 yrs ago). A LBE exists today in a sparse peppered pattern all over the earth and it is growing daily. The time has come and the masses are realizing they control their destiny, not some Government Official or Religious Leader. Spirit works through each of us and as we awaken to the possibilities life will quickly follow suit.

Material Goods Since technology is so critical to a Resource Based Economy, so is manufacturing. Products and supplies are still needed and this is the beauty of the new system. Manufacturing is all automated as is most all of the transport and distribution. Raw products are mined by machines, processed and distributed by machines. People are not necessary so only a few will be around to oversee operations and make sure repairs are being done and the product is getting where it needs to go. Eventually no one will be needed in this role. The transition period will take a few years and is already in motion. Most manufacturing these days is automated, if not totally, then partially. This is mainly concerning mass production, because there will always be the individual shop owner that provides a personal touch to a service or product. Disposable products such as flowers, food, and drinks are a good example. Machines can pick flowers, but having a person give them to you adds that personal touch that we do not want to lose. People are the reason for the season so to speak. We all will have jobs that make us happy and fulfilled. Construction and building maintenance is done by machines or volunteers. The idea of resource management without the profit motive makes implementation so much easier. People will work from a giving perspective and the rewards will be in the joy they bring to others. Quality will be higher as will be the energy of the building. We all know that the amount of love and care put into a building or anything really, is reaped by those who enjoy it daily. Visit a custom or home built building and see if it does not have a more "homey" feeling. The principle is "what you put into a job is what you get out" or what you give you receive. Farming is automated as much as possible, but will still need a few people to oversee things and do the jobs a machine cannot. This is why in the outlying regions rural maintenance cities will be hubs for farming. Areas that are not suited to farming or mining are left as natural spaces, no hunting or fishing will be allowed. Only nature watching, scientific study or communing will be allowed in these areas. With the equal and efficient use of resources there is plenty of land left over for wild areas. Farming will be warehoused to as large a degree as possible, with things like lettuce, tomatoes, berries, and other vegetables being grown in hydroponic warehouses that are lit with artificial light and clean filtered water systems which require no pesticides. This can be done underground or wherever it is needed, even on artic, ocean or off world locations. The possibilities are only as big as your imagination and desire.

Technology The key to a resource based economy is the use of technology wherever possible. This means it is used in almost every aspect of living. Every standard system and social service will be automated including, food production, energy supply, maintenance, waste removal, recycling, health care, education, communication, transportation, construction/housing, and entertainment (including live performances). Technology is woven into the very fabric of our existence and has become so natural it even enhances our bodies. Humans are free now to pursue Spiritual, Artistic, Social, Interpersonal and Scientific interests. Since no one has to work any longer, society as a whole has grown in many fantastic ways. Living is a joy now and happiness is at all time highs. This is not to say that no one works or ever gets sad. This is a part of life and now we are free to experience them on different terms, without fear. Technology still needs minor maintenance and supervision, however even this will be automated. Those who work do so as volunteers. Most people work serving others in various capacities and do so from a deep desire to give. The feminine energies are strong in this new Age of Aquarius. Every industry is now dominated by technology. Politics is gone, being replaced by a council of elders who earn their positions after many years of volunteer service. All decisions are made by the central computer system on the basis of equal resource allocation for the entire world. The council of elders oversees operations of the computer and governs the entire planet. No borders exist between countries and instead geography is identified by regions of vegetation and location, such as the tropical central Americas or the Plains of Russia. It is more earth based in natural systems and centered on cities. Each region has a major city to which the region is referred, such as New Amsterdam, Delta City, or Bombay. Religion too has gone by the wayside as people awaken to the Spiritual force that resides in each of us. People realize they do not need another to tell them what to do or how to act. Guidance streams to them every second of every day from the One Source. Oneness is embraced in its true form. Each person expresses this Spirituality differently and groups of like mind still gather, but not in the spirit of teacher/pupil, but of sharing and community. Ceremony is still honored but in a more individualistic manner and is no longer authoritarian.

There is no aspect of living that is not touched by technology; however each person has a choice to the degree of technology they enjoy. Most will have technology do all for them, but some will choose to do things manually, for fun and growth. A few agrarian communities will exist as havens for those who choose to forgo technology, although they will still be linked by the communications grid and transport centers. Technology in a LBE becomes the servant on the lowest levels and people are elevated to higher levels of existence. How they experience the world is still up to them with the major obstacles of money and lack removed. Resources are shared equally so everyone is comfortable and their physical needs are met leaving plenty of room to grow in mental and spiritual areas.

Borderless World - a natural state

Energy Continuing our series on a Love Based Economy/Society (LBE) we consider energy sources and use. Energy is free and abundant in a LBE because each individual realizes that everything is energy. Money is no longer necessary because it is simply a middle man or motivator if you will. In a LBE, Love is the motivator there is no need for tokens. In a LBE no one ever uses more energy than they need at any one time. The days of having every light and appliance running in the house at the same time is over because each person is operating from Love and an honest care for their fellow beings. Responsibility is natural as is being aware of the impact your actions have. Energy is now created at the point of need so the need for power lines strung all over the place is gone, meaning the beauty of earth has returned. Renewable energy is the only form energy takes now. Zero point generators or other systems are in place so that each device being used comes with its own power source built right in. No wires, just a simple device providing whatever service it is designed for. Please see this website for more info, http://www.greenearth4energy.com/zero_point_energy.html. Another possible source of energy is solar power collected from our roads. Please see this link for more on this, http://www.wimp.com/solarhighways/. Energy like everything else in a LBE is available to everyone equally, and more importantly free will is respected. The difference is that now, Love energy is predominant in society, so love is expressed by everyone in all situations. Even if something unloving manifests it is seen as temporary and allowed to pass without drama. The less energy given to it, the less likely it is to persist. Society transformed to a Love based system once the previous fear based society was allowed to pass. The people finally woke up and saw just how unnatural a fear based system is and how much energy is required to maintain it. Love is a natural state and requires little energy to manifest, however it does require a certain awareness, acceptance, openness and trust to operate from. It is like slipping into a warm stream and swimming in the gentle waters of Great Spirits flowing Love. Once in the flow it is not necessary to leave and in fact you will be inviting everyone you know to join you. May the flow be with you!

Money In a Love Based Economy/Society (LBE) standard of exchange no longer comes in the form of money. Trade still takes place but without money, however this is not the central foundation, nor is it barter. Instead things are based on gifting and resource allocation distributed equally. All peoples are given their basic needs equally and since Love is the basis of society, compassion including the care of others comes first. No one would take anything without considering the needs of others first. Things of value are exchanged as gifts, such as flowers, a bottle of wine, a meal, jewelry, art or just about anything depending on the giver and receiver. Whatever is needed is available from a central repository which operates much like a library. If you need a tool or large item you simply walk in and borrow it for a certain amount of time, and when done you return it for someone else to use (it is the property of the people - not the state or government. Each person is taught from birth that all material possessions belong to Mother Earth and are her gift to anyone and everyone who respects and honors the gift). Disposable items such as food or cleaning supplies are provided much as they are today, only there is no money involved. Nothing harmful to the environment is ever distributed. Since all work is done on a volunteer basis from the Love within each person, money is not used. Resources belong to everyone and no one. No one hoards anything at any time because they understand the Universal principles which are taught from birth. Love, caring, compassion and the well being of all life is central to all teachings. No one person or organization is "in control" although there is an organization responsible for basic functions such as maintenance of the technology and infrastructure. The Central Council of Elders oversees the computer which runs all functions on the entire planet. Every aspect of life is attended to, although it is done in a seamless fashion. If you need a gift for a special occasion you go to the market area and simply pick something out or you make it yourself. It is an honor to have your creations appreciated. The principle of "what you give is received" is fully understood by all. Great care and effort is put into making great works of art and craft. Giving them is the reward.

The basic items are produced as needed and not made in advance as they are today. This saves resources and wastes nothing. No extra space is needed for storage or warehousing. Old items are recycled. Requests are sent to the distribution center where it is picked up by the person who ordered it. If you remember the store "Service Merchandise" the process works very similar to their concept, however a computer displays the item in 3D hologram and is not actually manufactured till requested. The aspect of a LBE that makes it so desirable is a good standard of living for all citizens, no one is above another and no one is treated with privilege or disdain. Since all resources are carefully monitored and maintained by a neutral computer system, equality and efficiency are assured. Money is no longer a motivator in society! Living without money is the answer to the current economic crisis. The current money system has been failing repeatedly since its inception. This is a good thing because it is the way we evolve. All systems on earth grow till they are no longer efficient and serving the needs and then they fail. Adaptations are made and a new modified system takes over and it seems little as changed. (This includes all living systems; the earth, plants, animals, and humans) The roaring twenties are a good example where the economy grew very quickly, there were plenty of jobs and everyone (the middle and upper class) prospered. By the thirties though the system had been stretched as far as it would go and it failed. The great depression set in. A new system was put into place and off the economy went fueled by war in the forties. After the war, the system worked well till the seventies when we experienced our first energy crisis and it was declared that we needed to escape our dependence on foreign oil. Things were propped up and life went on. This is the cycle which continues today. The government steps in and artificially props things up, mostly for corporations which run this country and everyone is lulled into a false sense of security. The system is failing again and this time could be for good. We have a wonderful opportunity to replace the old failing economic system with one that is vibrant and promises hundreds of years of prosperity for all. This new Love Based Economy/Society (LBE) truly is an equalitarian society where everyone prospers to their own desire. The documentary movie "Living Without Money" show cases one way in which we can make the shift from money to none. They call it a gifting economy, and others call it

modified barter, the important thing is that it works. The system is still based on Love! This is the critical part. Without Love no system will work and at this point with the world teetering on destruction we need drastic changes. I highly recommend seeing this movie so you can get an idea of how a gifting economy can get the world headed in the right direction. You too can live a very comfortable life without money! I am sure the system will look slightly different depending on the continent that you live on. For instance, in the USA with corporations running everything, bartering with the supermarket may be difficult, so people will be going to farmer markets and creating co-ops. Supermarkets will eventually fail or be replaced by a resource allocation system that is not based on money. This is not about going back to the old barter system and living in the dark ages. It is about moving forward into the new age of giving, sharing and interdependence. It is about the world coming together as ONE, because we are One and the Earth is our sustenance! We are biting the hand that feeds us and this must stop - NOW. I believe the gifting system proposed by the movie "Living Without Money" is a bridge to the more sustainable and prosperous system of resource allocation. I know that you realize a change is needed, so please do not think that propping the failing monetary system back up once again is an answer, it is only delaying the inevitable. By consciously choosing a LBE the future will flow right into our laps.

What you can do The rubber hits the road when you apply the principles of a Love Based Economy (LBE). The principles have been presented over the previous pages and woven thru the blogs from the very beginning. The foundation from which the LBE came to be is available in eBook form HERE. These eBooks are short and easy to read, packed with information! It has been expressed that the LBE and the resource based economy I have been supporting in my blogs over the past is idealistic and not possible in today's society. I will simply say that we have been on this path for many decades, if not centuries and the time has come to make the jump. Just because it is raining does not mean you will never see the sun again! Or in other words, wake up and smell the roses! Several key elements are required on the personal level to make this shift. One is to believe it is possible and visualize, talk, and write about your ideas for a Love Based Economy/Society. (Consider what Walt Disney created with this technique!) Two is to take personal responsibility for it by living it. This is not as hard as it may seem. Start small and work up. Habits take 30 days to develop so be consistent in your efforts. Anything you do consistently over and over becomes automatic, however at first results will not be observable and in fact the opposite may appear. Do not get discouraged! If it is worth doing then it is worth staying with it. Allow yourself a few failures before you change tactics and stay with the dream,… always and all ways. The more you live your dream the closer it will be to reality. Understand also that the dream goes through many changes or transitions each leading closer to the goal. This is evolution in action! Take time to reflect on what is working in your life and focus on these things. A fix it approach only creates more issues to fix, so I don't recommend this approach. What you focus on grows, so stay focused on your dreams and desires! Make a list of things you can do today to be more loving in your daily life. Question your motives for doing everything you do. In fact, question all of reality. Is death and destruction really as prevalent as the media would have you believe? Look around you and ask yourself how much violence you have in your personal life. What have you seen with your own eyes? If you see it on TV does that make it so? A quote from Ken Keyes sums this up, "A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror".

For more info on a resource based economy please visit, Zeitgeist Movement, and on a love based society the writings are diverse and abundant so please explore this dream and make it reality. Yes Magazine is another good source for ideas pertaining to this subject. For more on Love and God I highly recommend the writings of Neale Donald Walsch, starting with Conversations with God. I will be busy living the dream of a Love Based Economy so my blogs will be fewer and further between, but please stay in touch and keep reading! Whenever you encounter a crossroads (or any decision) in your life, ask yourself one question. "What would Love do now"?

Conclusion Every change, event, or shift in life is based on a dream, either yours or someone else's that you claim. You do so because you desire a feeling or experience. Please remember that not choosing is a choice which results with you living someone else's dream! Sometimes this works out fine, but often it leads nowhere. So Dream a little dream. The bigger the better! The more precise you are the better, but most important is imagine you live there now - feel it in every way possible. I highly encourage you to write your dream life down and think of it often. Focus on the dream and not on what may appear as reality. Daily business is of course important, but do not fret over the details. The transition occurring now is affecting every soul on earth and beyond; 2012 is a beginning not an end. Know that what you are being given here is an opportunity for your dreams to manifest on a scale that has previously been unheard of. A Love Based Economy comes from the heart, but is not that different than the life we now live. In fact it is quite similar but instead of people reacting to events and continuously making choices from immediate self centered needs, they are acting by conscious choice. It is a matter of awareness and maturity. One could call this new LBE an evolution of the previous system. Hate, envy, jealousy, grief, and anger still exist in the new LBE but they are no longer a hang up for people. Each person has learned to use these tools for the growth they desire, not just for themselves but for everyone involved. Applying this maturity to the economy will mean drastic changes in those systems of exchange and self worth that presently are tearing the world apart. Money is still used (until it can be totally eliminated), but in a decentralized system that allows individual communities to thrive. The currency is different in each community and independent of it. People will work as a matter of passion and care for the Highest and Best of everyone. Resources will be shared equally and legal ownership will no longer exist. Each person realizes that they are one cog on the vast and dynamic machine of life. We each realize now that Life itself supports us and all those we Love and care about. We no longer put our children above all others and realize that each child is a member of the whole, none more valuable or gifted than another. Each child is encouraged to develop skills they are inclined to and given freedom of choice from the very beginning. They are treated with the respect and intelligence we would any adult, knowing that each person rises to expectations when given opportunity.

Rules, laws, and regulations still exist, but have taken on a different role. They are more from the aspect of suggestion and recommendation. Moral and ethical guidelines are stressed from the earliest years of a child's life. Each person grows up knowing spiritual principles critical to a developed mature life. Every child has access to this information regardless of the conditions because the world is now interconnected and interdependent. Unconditional love comes first and foremost.
