    great comment -

    - the 'instability' comes at a price.

    I agree.

    The relationship of Vishnu to Lakshmi
    (virulent expansion (love of oil) to the love of gold).

    The problem appears to relate to the love of gold egging on the love of oil -
    working only in stereotypes

    - Lady Macbeth and her influence on Macbeth -

    maybe even the Clintons also -
    certainly when I was growing up with the 'Dead Kennedys' -
    'Tipper' (wife to Al Gore) had the same rep sheet
    - censorship (was the accusation
    if I remember correctly from
    'why I'm glad the space shuttle blew up')

    - that was then and of course
    Nobel prizes withstanding -

    I'm only writing from perspective of listenng to anti-establishment sources of the '80s-
    and am more than prepared :- )
    to be corrected.

    What is the Root of all evil?


    Perhaps if we asked what'd do the most good in our society ?
    - as opposed to what is the root of all evil -

    - it'd come down to ensuring that all people have enough money to cover survival
    - probably not much more than rice, a roof and a toilet

    (and birth control)

    (as physical requirements)

    and access to an Internet terminal

    (for their minds
    - to fuel their dreams).


    A personal observation would be that if one does not have much money -
    - and is driven hard to acquire money to escape squalour -

    - that SUCH people can become very dangerous indeed.

    Their desire for money compounds, takes over their minds and before you know it -
    they're committing the worst of atrocities from the skew (in their own heads) - which has needed to develop to propel them out from the poverty from whence they came.

    Maybe this in part explains why Jefferson's dream was always going to be a time coming.

    It came in the end though -

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedie

    "All things must be examined, debated, investigated without exception and without regard for anyone's feelings."
    What is the Root of all evil?
    - failure to disclose ToE to the population immediately on discovery

    would work also.

    (it doesn't belong to anybody)

    Re: What is the Root of all evil?

    Roots of evil are always natural tendencies, and not of evil spirits it would seem, such as a group deciding what is good, then this sometimes becoming a must do action.

    Another natural root is the malfunction of the mind-brain, in ways both small and large. It is shown that all persons do really know innately that crimes or simply meanness are 'wrong' and what would be right, even the worst of the psychopaths.

    Normally, one knows 'right' both because its natural to know and because overwhelming emotions of guilt and shame will ensue. In a study of 'evil' people, this emotional component was seen to be absent; they could not feel shame, guilt, or anything towards the victims. Thus no anxiety whatsoever was envisioned or ensued after the 'evil' act.

    It then makes sense that a right mind is not available, and, so, while they cannot be blamed, we must still, in the larger cases, imprison them to make the world safer.

    As for 'terrible' friends, spouses, or relatives, we can bypass them (if help doesn't work) for our own peace of mind.

    Re: What is the Root of all evil?

    logic -> must balance <- emotion
    emotion -> must balance <- logic

    - otherwise imbalance.

    The root of evil (to man) is imbalance.

    Incapacity to both know or feel what's right leads to evil.

    Overrule the thinking mind with emotional considerations and one will be giving voice to the 'selfish gene'
    - physical abstraction layer (layer I) (the central dopaminergic circuit and its effect on locomotion (movement))

    Overrule the emotional mind - and the mind thinks itself up systems which
    - although legal -
    are not in the common interest
    - giving voice to the 'selfish meme'
    - mental abstraction layer (layer II) (the central dopaminergic circuit and its effects on mind (thought cf. ADHD medication))

    The duality of level I and II (balanced duality) -
    results in level III.

    - spiritual abstraction layer (layer III)
    On these pages and ADDf described as the 'retrograde' motion of the CNS (including most notably the central dopaminergic system) and endocrine axes
    - we hit layer III (~aka~ wisdom,morality) when we have a weight of knowledge within our own individual minds
    - knowledge acquired within an environment of 'pain'

    - agonizing over decisions become more intense as our world view develops

    - does not develop if our world view is suppressed or broken by systems which enforce corruption (just like a computer disc) of our own internal constructs of mind
    (capitalism - desire for money
    and
    poorly taught religion - supremacy of one religion over another
    are two such examples).

    But then of course -
    the churches to capitalism -
    - the oil axis of 'evil' of capitalism
    the USD and Middle Eastern monarchies
    - as the axis of 'evil' of corruption in and to religion
    into Stepford Wife Christian and Moslem ideals

    unacceptable cussin' words to be found on their regularly updated websites

    Their currency is debt -

    third world, our world, corporate world
    and then even themselves -

    banks only now feeling the fear which is engendered by debt
    - fear which is engendered as the poor little bankers fear lending money to other poor little bankers

    boo hoo !

    £4000 x 60 million people ->- £240 billion to bail out all of the little people in the UK versus $80 billion to bail out 1 dirty corporate entity (and proud sponsors of Manchester United football club) in America

    ---a---
    Each of our Governments bail out all countries, people and all organizations from debt -
    - and thereafter completely ban companies which profit through debt
    we must live within our (collective) means
    - we (people on this planet) are living in a 'closed box system'

    Malthus defines population crash -
    and we're heading straight for such a crash.

    Debt extends the individual out from beyond his means and move us (as collective) - one step closer towards population crash -
    it's not possible to either push credit or use debt in the real world -
    - purchase of real things with virtual pieces of paper printed at will cannot work

    we have limited (physical) resources
    - our mental resources however are unlimited

    - purchase of real things with virtual pieces of paper printed at will cannot work
    ONLY workable in a computer game or simulation where the 'real' products which are purchased are also 'virtual'
    - pixels on a screen
    - just like the currency (numbers on a screen).

    ---b---
    End all financial organizations -

    pensions are not workable
    - we cannot know the future
    insurance isn't workable
    - we cannot know the future

    all money needs to become virtual
    - payment by card (or mobile computer) for all transactions

    - such that all money in circulation can be tracked -

    Only possible amendment would be for declaration of ownership of property also (land and buildings)
    - alongside each individual's name

    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    Joe Bloggs
    1 house
    20 square metres (total plot size)
    Bank account details

    Transaction date, Transaction amount, Transaction nature

    2
    3 (etc... ... ...)
    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    - and the tracking system needs to be publically accessible such that we can all see every transaction which has occurred at any point in time -
    anywhere -

    Back-handers die -
    - since all transactions can be tracked (for all people) -
    - labelled with nature of transaction.

    No loopholes will be found
    - because this system is in place to drive the evolution of man to better -

    once better -
    - the 'folly' of money is revealed.

    And no more passwords
    - how banks love encryption and passwords.

    There's no such thing as secrecy -
    nobody is special -
    we're all the same.

    ---c---
    Question why any of the indices which economics claims to control are necessary -
    - a single currency will effectively eradicate interest and inflation rates
    - and it's coming

    ---4---
    After a few years we'll find that the system no longer becomes necessary as people stop cheating other people.
    The system is closer to the nature of the barter economy and removes all worth from money

    money becomes a token

    Why will this system work ?

    Because money was just a stage we needed to go through

    Jesus, Peter, fish, coins and Lakshmi
    - we just did not want to see it

    - because money is not the point
    we want to have fun

    and remove the financial incentive which engineers inequality by $rich governmental and corporate entities
    - bullies -
    - to free us up to concentrate on the real issue of

    single world collaboration
    --- current economic systems are bad.

    What is the root of evil?
    effectively the root of 'evil'

    - that 'root of evil' which we're about to pass through towards definition of some other location to which we need head on our concerted mission

    towards
    knowing
    God.

    • words

    • hierarchy of power


    - we have a society with too many rules -
    - where people are paid to generate rules
    This can all be put into the general catagory of CONTROL

    The root of all evil is not knowing and substituting 'not knowing' with ridiculous unknowns.
    This is why I keep refering to the Tree of Knowledge.....what does the so called "knowledge" really amount to other than arbitrary ideas of "good and evil"
