Money is the unspoken language that structures our perception of value exchange. Ever-present yet often unseen, it exists on one side of every trade, every day.
We use money all the time, but rarely do we truly comprehend its significance.
While all human concepts, including money, are subordinate to natural forces, our perception of money is superordinate to everything else; C.R.E.A.M.
Defining money has always been challenging:
Mises saw it as a common denominator for measuring prices based on human action.
Rothbard calls money a generally acceptable medium of exchange, vital for any economy and society. MMT chartalists argue that money comes from the state's power to levy taxes. Saylor views money as economic energy; Peterson as a promise based on trust.
Harari considers money a shared psychological construct. Breedlove22 describes it as economic water, an all-pervasive ether influencing perception and action. Steiner thought of money as a medium for the spirit to enter the economic organism of capital formation.
However envisioned, money is a tool used to overcome the deficiencies of barter, allowing us to express and communicate value, P2P.
Nature is the root of quality experience and money is the great unseen force. Both permeates our being and existence, materially and spiritually.
To resist money's unseen influence on our subjective reality (good or bad), we must apprehend its esoteric qualities. That is to say, we each need to become truly cognizant of the significance of money, beyond the corporeal.
Akin to how we think of mathematics.
MATHS & ABSTRACTION
"Developing a capacity for perception and cognition such that we can access the abstract.. even the spiritual. We first have to engender the abstraction of mathematics within us... We have to imagine its existence before we can comprehend, study and understand it." - Rudolf Steiner (Aims of Anthroposophy, 1924)
Beyond our material world, the existence of a spiritual realm often seems dubious. Despite this, however, sensible theories of knowledge fail to account for mathematics as an inconspicuous super-sensible science of abstraction; i.e. not really real, in the material sense.
Though not strictly observable in nature, maths can be comprehended by thinking human beings of wilful cognition. Maths expresses empirical proofs to help us understand nature; we grasp both living and lifeless things through it, yet it exists only as reality in our minds.
With deliberate conscious endeavour we stimulate ever higher quality of thought in order to imagine and reveal invisible things and their meaning, including money.
When applied to money, as Satoshi did, this leads to the inevitable discovery of ever higher quality money. 🔶👀
Bitcoin is quality money, enabling the human mind to imagine beyond immediate material existence, up toward higher worlds of soul and spirit, thus instigating and urging the mindful development of civilisation via improved cognition.
#Bitcoin is an evolution in consciousness.
