Equal Money System
General outline of the Equal Money System
The Equal Money System is a new economic and monetary system, unprecedented in human history for several reasons.
The Equal Money System does not lean on the understandings and concepts of economics and money, as it is currently or has been historically implemented in the world. In essence, an Equal Money System, operates and functions in all facets of society on the principle of equality.
From this standpoint, the Equal Money System emphasises dignity and respect for all living beings on the planet, in order to establish living dynamics that are best for all, creating a "heaven on earth for all". The Equal Money System includes everyone in the system, without exception. It is considered everyone's birth-right to be assisted and supported to live a dignified life, wherein they are taken care of and supported as an equal to all that is here, as integral part of and as existence.
The Equal Money System puts the living being ahead of everything else, this is exemplified through the unconditionally guaranteed provision of an equal amount of money for all members of the human race. This money will, at all times, cover the costs of each individual's basic needs, from birth to death. In this context, animals, plants and the environment are equally considered and cared for.
The structure of an Equal Money System is flat without dedicated leadership that governs the masses. This denotes that all participants of the system are equally responsible for the system. In this, all participants share the responsibility to take care of all aspects of governance such as health care, food and water supply; hygiene and clothing; housing and shelter; and infrastructure. An equal money system is based on two main principles against which all decisions are measured and evaluated.
The first principle is total equality of all Life, including nature and animals. The second principle is that all decisions are to be conducted and implemented to function and operate from the premise of 'what is best for all living beings'.
Implementation of a global Equal Money System
Participation by all
Members of the Equal Money System participate in various capacities to ensure smooth functioning of the system, and to uphold the principle of equality. This indicates that an Equal Money System is centred on a direct-democracy approach where the participants of the system have equal votes to decide on 'what is best for all', in creating a functional economic and political system across all aspects of society.
Participation in the Equal Money System is established for the individual on giving and taking responsibility, for that which they have been given. If it is found that a person is unable to give, or unable to take responsibility, for that which they have been given on an equal footing to all – It will be seen that the person requires psychological training.
The psychological training facilities will be a major supporting factor within an Equal Money System as it requires that a person participates to fulfill both the giving and taking of responsibility that ensures the stability of the Equal Money System. The psychological trainers are not psychologists – they are psychological technicians that assist in self-understanding, as all as one as equal, effectively.
Government and leadership
Forms of government as they have been known up until today will no longer exist in an Equal Money System. Instead, leadership in an Equal Money System does not entail authority over others, and those who fill these positions have to act in guaranteed integrity. Those who are in positions of leadership administer the process of decision-making, guiding the community through asking pertinent questions and by providing the necessary support that all issues are tackled on the basis of equal input by all. Those in leadership positions are tested to be standing within equality through rigorous training, and are considered to be serving in the name of humanity, without any special treatment, bonuses or rewards. They are responsible that a particular processes within the system unfolds satisfactory, and that the outcome stands within equality and what is best for all. Those in leadership positions are voted into office through majority votes and replaced annually.
Logistics of administration
The logistics of such a global Equal Money System are tackled using digital technologies. These technologies are readily available today but require revision to be fitted into the new context of equality with consideration towards equal and guaranteed distribution of equipment, access and education. Through the efficient and focussed use of digital technologies it will be easily possible to create an internet infra-structure which streamlines communication and facilitates real-time connectivity between all members of the Equal Money System, regardless of language or location.
In an Equal Money System, existing infrastructure and technologies will be re-purposed if possible. For example, mass food production will look for established production methods and facilities from corporations, and will appropriate these to be suitable to meet the requirements of 'what is best for all'.
In an Equal Money System, the allocation of money and resources will be managed through digital technologies. The system is established through the use of codes that identify the individual with relevant information concerning aspects of their existence within the system. Currently, the use of a microchip for each person may be the most viable path in effectively collecting and managing the vast amount of global data that will be needed to run the Equal Money System on the principle of Equality.
Use of technology
An important factor in this is that all aspects of the implementation will support the common goal of equality through the practical application of 'what is best for all'. This approach will eventually reshape the way we communicate through the various channels, whereby all use of digital technologies that are non-supportive of the evolving Equal Money System will become obsolete. Consequently, soft and hardware development in support of an Equal Money system will expand the use of digital technologies, creating autonomous users because the technology will move from the hands of a few to the hands of the many. This is the direction of development that will be visible in every sector of society, where typical jobs that do not support the principle of 'what is best for all', will simply no longer have a place in a system that is based on Equality. From this perspective the concept of 'compulsive work' does not exist which, in turn, will reshape the use of time by the individual and the collective. Thus, the members of the Equal Money system will be able to live a life that enables true self-expression because they no longer will have to have to 'work for survival'.
Transitioning from a capitalistic system to the Equal Money System
Those who are working as a group towards the establishment of an Equal Money System, the Destonians, understand that it will take time to bring about a system change. We estimate that it will take until the year 2020 for the entrance of Equal Money into the political arena where "one man, one vote" will be used to build the foundations of an Equal Money System. In the meantime Destonians support the economic reforms summarised within the Basic Income Grant, as a viable path to make the transition from surviving in a competitive and exploitative system to one where government support of the individual is guaranteed.
Education and the Equal Money System
The task of the educational system in the Equal Money System is to support and assist each human being in becoming and acting as trustworthy and reliable decision maker who is, under all circumstances, motivated to create and maintain a world that is best for all. Therefore young humans will be educated through the physical interactions with the environment, specifically the growing and preserving of life forms and food supply, which further entails the effective use and management of resources. Education will begin with a four-year training programme where youngsters come together in groups on farms, and are introduced to learn and work in the labour-force that underpins the basic food production in an Equal Money System. While this programme teaches youngsters to learn to stand as equals to everything here on our planet, to act as fully self-responsible beings in all their deeds and words, they will also be able to develop adequate social skills through parties and play. This characterises the new human which will prosper in harmony with planet earth and can be characterised as the 'custodian of the planet earth'.
The DesteniIProcess
However, to get to this level of understanding, awareness, and action, to be a 'custodian of the planet earth' from the current starting point of humanity, a process of self-development is required to move the person from the starting point of self-interest and greed to one of equality, which is maintained throughout their life. In this process, the DesteniIProcess, the person is assisted in teaching themselves to get a grip on how they have programmed themselves through acceptance and allowances in their interactions with family, friends and others on the basis of the human ego, and through generating feelings and emotions. The DesteniIProcess enables each person to let go of this programming through self-investigation. As foundation to this process, self-honesty and self-forgiveness are practically applied through writing and speaking which opens up what lies behind each thought that the person is thinking. This is followed up with continued writing of self-correction and mind construct analysis, and then lived through the breath in every moment.
FAQ
What is the Equal Money System not?
The Equal Money System is not a dictatorship nor is it associated with ‘New World Order’ - it’s in-fact a System created by democratic means - founded upon the principle of equality through the practical implementation of 'what is best for all' - each and every person's voice will be heard and none be disregarded. Those who cannot have a voice, for example animals, will be included within the principle of equality.
Why is an Equal Money System not like communism?
When people react to the word "equality" by likening it to communism, they are demonstrating an energetic charge that the word has been imprinted with through historical developments. Aspects of equality were part of the theoretical Marxist idea but Marx never gave practical pointers to implement the idea on realistic terms. Hence it remained a theory and nothing more. There are some similarities between an Equal Money system and some of the Marxian ideas. For example, a classless system and equal living condition for all are such shared ideas. Mostly the differences between theoretical Marxian ideas and an Equal Money System are in having a living system through practical implementation of the principle of equality rather than a theoretical approach.
The discrepancy between the political ideology of Marxist communism, and the countries that were governed from the so-called premise of communism, was and is that in reality these regimes were an extension of capitalism. Those regimes, of which China is still an example, were brought to power through money and war, and the exerted the same type of control upon its citizens as in capitalistic societies. China today is a glorified capitalistic system where dictatorship controls the country and caters to a 'white elite' with money. Products for consumption are produced by Chinese workers who are exploited for cheap labour. The consumer products are then marketed in the US and Europe where they are bought without recourse to the conditions under which the production took place. The main factor here is the buying power of a Western and Christian world.
Moreover, the Capitalistic systems, such as the US, have used the idea of Communism as a form of propaganda to promote Capitalism as a system of freedom and choice in comparison to communism as a system of enslavement. Therefore, the word "equality" also triggers fears within people, fears that are pertaining to the loss of individualism. Yet, people who react in fear, or even consider ‘world equality’ as utopia, will falsely believe that they are free in a system where freedom is equated with granted purchasing power maintained through self-interest and greed.
In an Equal Money System the main force is equality as applied and implemented principle - in short, as lived experience. Communism is a political ideology that works under the current monetary system. In an Equal Money System, to ensure that there are no decisions being made from the standpoint of energetic, pre-programmed reactions, a mathematical principle is applied to create, at all times, what is best for all under all conditions. Equality as lived application is without precedence and has no historical references because it is foremost a new economic system that is open, meaning its sphere of influence stretches past nations and society over the entire world.
An Equal Money System, as an open system, has the starting point that everyone and every living creature is included. In that it is also differentiated from Communism and Socialism because abuse cannot and will not exist. In Communist regimes of the past and the present, what people shared equally was a poverty point while leaders were functioning from a point of power and ego - thus creating the same hierarchical structures as in the current capitalistic system. In addition, Communist regimes were engulfed in fighting capitalism and those who were in opposition of the communist regime - hence abusing money and resources for the purpose of warfare.
In Equal Money System there are no reasons for the squandering of resources or the need to uphold ideologies because the premise of functioning is that everyone is equal and only what is best for all is implemented - thus poverty and warfare is a thing of the past.
