Envisioning the money system of the Golden Age

Saint Germain – March 22, 2008. NOTE: This dictation was given on 03/22/08 as part of the Shangra-la conference in Lake Junaluska, North Carolina.

Saint Germain I AM, and I come to add my gratitude to that of Mother Mary and Kuan Yin. For you see, my beloved, when an ascended master sponsors a nation, as I have sponsored the United States, I become partly responsible for what happens in that nation and what is done by that nation to other nations. And thus, I have indeed had a karmic burden and a karmic debt as the result of the way the native peoples of this continent were treated during the formative years of the United States and beyond.

And it has, for centuries, been a great burden to my heart how the wonderful native peoples were treated, and how it was not possible to integrate them in my greater vision for an America, which truly was the vision of people from many different backgrounds coming together, transcending those divisions created by their backgrounds, and locking in to the I AM spirit, the spirit of the I AM people that transcends all outer divisions and therefore forms a bulwark of freedom, a bastion of freedom, against the forces of anti-freedom that would seek to enslave the people.

And in so doing must divide the people, and therefore use the divide-and-conquer tactic, the divide-and-conquer consciousness, to divide the people into all these factions based on outer characteristics. And then make the people believe that they have to be enemies of those who are different from themselves, and that the only way to resolve the conflicts that they see is to go to war and destroy those who are different.

For my beloved, the true vision of Saint Germain and the true vision of the Ascended Host is to create unity among the people of this planet. But the perversion of that vision by the fallen beings is, of course, to create a forced unity, where they try to get people to kill all of those who are different from themselves. Until there is uniformity by eliminating all differences which – by the way – would only be possible if in the end there was only one person left on this planet, my beloved. For truly, even two people trapped in the duality consciousness would soon find a way to create animosity and conflict between them, so that one would have to kill the other.

World peace begins with the individual
And thus, my beloved, you see clearly that there is no way to create peace this way, to create unity among people through violence, through division. There is no way, as we have said before, to solve a problem with the same state of consciousness that created the problem. And thus, you cannot possibly overcome division while you are still trapped in the very consciousness that created the division in the first place. And so, my beloved, you see that the only practical – the only possible – solution is to transcend that state of consciousness entirely—to rise to a higher level.

And yet how can people do this as long as they are identified with the outer divisions on Earth? And thus, there is only one solution, and that is that people realize that they are more than these outer human identities that have been created for them. They are more than these molds that have been created, and in which they are supposed to fit into from the cradle to the grave.

Thus, they are truly the I AM people, and when you recognize this, you can transcend these outer divisions—as indeed you are doing in a conclave like this, my beloved, where you come from different backgrounds, different nationalities, but it is not an issue, for you come together in spirit, my beloved. And in that true oneness in spirit that you have found individually, well, you transcend the outer differences.

And yet, my beloved, I must tell you that this can only happen on an individual basis. For you see, indeed – as both Mother Mary and Kuan Yin have said – there is no way to overcome the divisions except through individuality. It cannot be done collectively, my beloved, and that is why, indeed, you will see that the Lord Christ himself came to this planet 2,000 years ago to inaugurate an age in which humankind was meant to grow in individuality and attain a greater individualism that pulled them out of the tribal consciousness—that is truly the cause of many divisions on this planet.

Real and perverted individualism
And yet, my beloved, it was, of course, foreseeable and inevitable that some among humankind – especially those who had already become trapped in the consciousness of duality before they came to this planet – would pervert this concept of the Christ – the individual Christ – and turn it into the perverted concept of individualism, based on the ego that does not consider anyone but itself.

So my beloved, this is simply the "cost of doing business," as they say these days. And it was foreseeable that this would happen and it would create atrocities. Nevertheless, I ask you to raise your vision and see that even all of the warfare and strife you have seen over these last 2,000 years was a necessary element of raising humankind, not only out of the tribal consciousness, but also out of the perverted consciousness of individuality. Where people realize that individuality does not mean that you are an island.

For as has been said, no man, no woman, is an island. It means that you find your divine individuality as an extension of, as an individualization of, your Creator. And when you recognize your oneness with God and say with Christ, “I and my father are one,” well then you will quickly take the next step and realize that all of your brothers and sisters also have an I AM Presence, also came out of the God Presence, and therefore they too are part of the Body of God on Earth.

And so you see, my beloved, while it may seem illogical to some, the reality is that humankind started out in more of a collective consciousness, where very few individuals on this planet had a strong enough individuality to raise themselves above that collective consciousness. And thus, humankind had to go through becoming stronger individually before they could engage in the path of individual Christhood that would lead them to the greater oneness in spirit that will then form the basis for a greater oneness in the material realm. One that is not based on sameness but is based on the reality that differences, divine differences, sprang from the same source and therefore differences are not the source of conflict, my beloved.

They are, indeed, as we have said before, individual facets of the diamond mind of God, where each of you is a facet on that diamond. And when you come together, you can create a much more beautiful shine than when you stand apart, or even when you try to oppose each other and thereby hide your light under a bushel.

For my beloved, you cannot engage in conflict with other people unless you first hide your own light, unless you deny that light and therefore accept a lower sense of identity. Whether you created it yourself or whether you stepped into a role created for you by society or even by the false leaders of humankind—who have used the divide-and-conquer consciousness to create all of these false identities that can only be in opposition to each other. And to set up a culture of vain competition, where those who have attained a stronger individuality, instead of moving on to the path of individual Christhood, are trapped on the outer path, the broad way that leads to destruction.

But the false path goes through the false individuality, and it then must – according to the law of free will – allow people to pursue the building of this false individuality. Until they finally tire of it, or until they run out of time and thus are no more because they are not willing to see the folly of that false identity. They are not willing to let it die. They are not willing to give up that ghost, even though their false identity has paralyzed them and nailed them to the cross of their own making, as they have misused the four levels of the mind – the etheric, mental, emotional and physical – to create that false identity.

Letting the false identity die
So my beloved, you see that Christ came not only to show the path but to show the only way out of that path, my beloved, which is to let the false identity die. And this is what we ask you to contemplate this night—how you can not only let your personal ego and false identity die tomorrow morning on Easter, but you can also do it for the collective consciousness—in whatever aspect of the collective consciousness that you have taken on, including the aspects you have worked on so far.

So I ask you to contemplate this tonight and tomorrow morning, so that when Jesus dictates tomorrow morning, you can be ready to let that false identity die on the cross, to give up that ghost with Jesus and therefore let it go, so that you can be free of the false identity, free to be resurrected in Christ, to be resurrected with Christ when the cycle is completed and you individually are ready to pass through that initiation of accepting your oneness with your divine identity, my beloved.

Raising up the Mother in the economy
Thus, I will now shift gears and give you a short discourse on what is actually part of the theme for this conference of raising up the Mother – the Mother Light – my beloved. For you realize, I am sure, that anything that takes place in this material realm is part of the Mother. And for there to be a Golden Age, my beloved, we must raise up the expressions of the Mother in all aspects of society. So based on the recent turmoil in the economy, I wish to make a few remarks about the golden age economy and how there must be change compared to the economy you see today.

And so my beloved, I will begin my going to the very core of the issue of the economy, which of course is money itself, my beloved. For you see, money is an expression of the Mother. Money, in its pure form, is a pure expression of the Mother, my beloved.

And I know that as spiritual people, you may often have had a somewhat ambivalent, or even negative, attitude towards money, being based on Jesus’ statement that you cannot serve God and mammon, or the commonly circulated statement that money is the root of all evil. Well you see, my beloved, in its pure form money is not the root of all evil nor is money actually the mammon that Jesus talked about when he made the remark that you cannot serve two masters. For you see, my beloved, the true masters that you cannot serve are the true master of the Christ and the false master of anti-christ—the false identity of the ego.

And so, you see that money, my beloved, is – in its pure form – two things: it is a medium of exchange, and it is a way to store value for different times when that value is needed and cannot be produced on a short-term basis. And my beloved, if the money system in the world was still in its pure form as a medium of exchange and a short term storage of value, well then, my beloved, you would not have the problems that you have in the economy today.

And thus you will see, my beloved, that after money was created, a different possibility came into being, namely that money – instead of being a medium of exchange and a storage of value, instead of being a means to an end – well then, some people turned money into an end in itself.

They saw that by perverting the money system beyond its original intent and design, they could use money not only to gather privileges for themselves – that they could buy with money that they hoard for themselves – but they could go beyond that and use money to further their never-ending quest for power and control over the people.

Understanding the divine economy
You see my beloved, as we have explained, there is indeed a power elite on this planet who want to enslave the people and have the people work for them as worker bees to create privileges. And so you see, my beloved, what you are dealing with in the economy is two different states of consciousness that are opposing one another.

You see my beloved, in Jesus’ parable about the servants who received different numbers of talents, you see the principle for how the divine economy works. You are given certain talents through your ingenuity and your labor and your willingness to take initiative. You multiply those talents, and then you receive more in return because you have been willing to fulfill your role as a co-creator with God on this planet.

For as Jesus also said, “Fear not little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the abundant life. So you see, my beloved, when all people take what they have been given – whatever talents that may be individually – and they make the best of it, they multiply what they have. Well, then, they bring forth more abundance than what they were given.

And this then opens up the doorway to heaven, where we can multiply what you have multiplied and bring forth even more abundance, whereby the total amount of abundance available on this planet is increased. And this then opens the possibility that the entire economy can grow, whereby all people receive more abundance. Not necessarily in the way of the communist dream, where supposedly all are given an equal share, but in the way of the money system and the economy becoming another tool for the path of individual Christhood, where people are rewarded according to their willingness to multiply their talents.

And as I said, there are three ways you multiply the talents:

• Through your ingenuity of bringing forth new ideas, new inventions, better ways of doing the same old tasks.

• Through your willingness to take risks by taking an initiative by doing something that no one has done before—and therefore you cannot know what the outcome will be.

• Or by your willingness to put forth the labor that is needed in order to get the economy to run.

So these are three legitimate ways to multiply your talents, my beloved. And truly, when you look at history, you will see that the majority of the people on this planet have been willing to multiply their talents in at least one of these ways. The majority, of course, choosing the role of doing the actual labor but yet many other people also being inventors or taking the initiative.

The perverted economy
This then is the consciousness of multiplying the talents and thereby increasing the amount of abundance. And this is, of course, the Christ consciousness, or aspects of the Christ consciousness. In contrast to this consciousness, my beloved, is the consciousness that springs from the mind of anti-christ, and it is the consciousness of wanting something for nothing. Or as a variant of that, the perversion of wanting to reap the reward of other peoples’ labor.

This then is the perversion of the father-mother element, where wanting something for nothing is the perversion of the Mother, where you seek to reap without sowing. And wanting to reap the reward of the other peoples’ labor is the perversion of the Father element, where you seek to control and suppress others and set yourself up above them because you have created the division of separating man from God.

And therefore, all cannot be equal in God, for as I said, only through the connection to the spiritual realm can you have true equality.
So when that connection is lost in a civilization, you inevitably open up for the creation of an elite who will then suppress the people and reap the rewards of the labor of the people. Which is what you saw, my beloved, in the feudal societies of Europe, with a noble class who had the physical power to suppress the people and make them work for them.

Yet when people are physically suppressed, it is very difficult for them, of course, to fail to notice that they are suppressed. So when the feudal societies collapsed, there were those among humankind who realized that this was not the ultimate way to suppress the people—that there was a much better way to suppress and control the people, namely in hidden ways so that the people did not realize they were suppressed.

What is real money?
And some among these fallen beings, my beloved, realized that with the growing economy that actually resulted from the collapse of the feudal societies – giving rise to better trade and the Industrial Revolution – well then, the creation of this new medium of money gave them an opportunity to control the people by controlling the money system, my beloved.

And thus, they realized that the money system, if they could manage to pervert it, would give them incredible opportunities for suppressing the people and stealing the value of their labor—without the people understanding what was happening. And my beloved, this has now been going on for a long time, and the people still are not realizing how the value of their labor is being stolen through a manipulation of the money system. And so you see, my beloved, without going into a long and overly complex discourse, I will give you the few highlights you need to understand.

What you need to understand, my beloved, is that when money is used correctly as a medium of exchange, well then you have only a need for the amount of money that is needed to exchange the total amount of goods and services that are produced by a society. There is, so to speak, a one-on-one relationship between the amount of money and the amount of something that has real actual value, be it goods or services. Or even, in the case of gold money, that the gold itself has a certain value. So you see, my beloved, the direct relationship between money and something that has real value.

Then, when people actually multiply their talents, they can, as a result of that multiplication, accumulate a certain amount of money which they can then choose, if they will, to store for times when they may not be able to make the money. Even this is legitimate, as long as the money was created as a result of providing a real service to life, be it an invention, taking the initiative, or performing physical labor.

There is nothing wrong with then storing that money, although, of course, when it is put to use in investing, then it will help the economy grow. And thus, savings should really only be a temporary thing and should not mean that the money is permanently taken out of circulation. For money is indeed meant to flow and thereby help the entire economy grow.

But you see, my beloved, when there is a direct correspondence between money and something of real value, well then it is not possible to create money out of nothing, money that has no real value associated with it. And that means, my beloved, that even though the money supply can grow, the value of money is not degraded, for you still only have the money needed to buy goods and services.

And therefore, you can actually have a society that has a steadily growing economy and a steady increase in the money supply without actually having an increase in the prices of goods and services. For what is the need of such an increase, when you do not have excess money that has no correspondence to real value? You still only have the amount of money needed to exchange goods and services, which means that the value of the money – what you can buy for that money – will remain constant.

When money is disassociated from real value
Perhaps it is even possible that as productivity increases – as new methods for producing goods and services cheaper and with less labor are invented – well then prices can actually decrease. Or you could say that the value of your labor goes up, so that you can buy more for the same amount of labor put in. And thus, everyone experiences an increase in abundance.

This, my beloved, is the divine economy, which we might also call the spiritual economy or even the natural economy. For you see in nature that if you take even the theory of evolution, as flawed as it is, it does point out the very fact that nature itself has a built-in force that produces greater and greater abundance of life forms and more complex life forms and greater numbers in different species, so that every niche in nature is filled and there is nothing wasted. And so you see that nature has a built-in force that leads towards greater abundance for all life.

Yet my beloved, how do you then get away from this divine economy? Well, you do so very simply by perverting the money system, so that you disassociate money from something that has real value. This has been done in various societies – starting in Europe – over time.

And why did this happen, my beloved? Well, if you look at the history of this, you will see that it started with some of the kings in Europe who needed money to wage war with each other. And therefore, they needed excess money, more money than could be raised through the production of goods and services.

For you see, my beloved, war cannot produce something of value. It can only destroy something of value. So even though there are those who will say that war leads to economic growth, this is actually a fallacy. War can only lead to a loss through the destruction of something that has real value, including the killing of soldiers who could have otherwise been put to productive work and therefore produce something of value instead of killing each other.

So what you see is that the very kings that I attempted to work with during my sojourn on the European continent as the Wonderman of Europe – the very kings that rejected me and rejected the idea of the United States of Europe – well those very kings were the ones who in their greed for money – more money that they could tax from their subjects – set the stage for the emergence of a money system that was perverted.

You see my beloved, even though the kings of the Middle Ages and later had great power, even they had a fear of their own people. And thus, they knew that if they raised taxes in order to finance their wars, well then the people might actually revolt against them and they might lose their power and privilege. So they saw that they needed to find some other way to finance their wars.

And thus, they entered into an unholy alliance with the emerging bankers of Europe who started out as the goldsmiths who stored the excess money that people had legitimately earned. And they stored the gold in their vaults, my beloved, and they started realizing that they could make money out of lending that gold and charging interest. And since it was very rare that all of the people would demand all of their gold at the same time, they started lending out the money that people had deposited in their vaults, even though it was not theirs to lend. And so you see the beginning of the banking system.

And thus, my beloved, the kings of Europe were open to the suggestions of the bankers, who suggested that instead of having money that was based on gold or silver – thus the money had an inherent, indigenous value – you created a new type of money, called fiat money—that was money by decree. Where the king issued a law that this newly created money was now the legal tender, the legally approved form of money in society, and all people had to accept it as payment for goods and services. Whereby, my beloved, the bankers could create this money, lend it to the king, who could then use it to buy the goods and services needed to finance his war.

The deception of fractional reserve banking
And so you see now the beginning of a money system, where there is no longer a direct correspondence between the amount of money and the amount of goods and services. There is now a disconnect between the money and something of real value, which means you can now create excess money – money, my beloved, that is not the result of someone multiplying their talents, but is literally created out of nothing by the bankers lending money, charging interest for it, but actually lending more money than they have reserves for in their vaults. Thus, the emergence of the system called fractional reserve banking, which is what your banking system in the United States and most of the civilized world is based on even today.

And so you see now the emergence of a money supply that is disconnected from real value, which means that the kings and the bankers can now increase the money supply beyond what is needed to trade goods and services that have real value. Yet, my beloved, what happens when you increase the amount of money?

Well, suddenly there is more money in circulation, and what does that mean? That means that the first people who get a hold of the newly issued money, those people who did not have to work for it, they can now spend it, and in so doing they will inevitably bid up prices of goods and services, including real estate. And therefore, they increase prices, which gradually filters through the economy until the prices of all goods and services have gone up.

And so, to simplify this process for you, if you have a certain amount of goods and services and you have a certain amount of money needed to trade those goods and services, well, my beloved, if you doubled the amount of money by creating money that is not backed by precious metals or other things of value, then eventually – in fact in a short period of time – this will result in the fact that the prices of most goods and services will also double. Or at least go up to some degree to adjust to the fact that there is now more money in circulation.

Inflation steals the value of your labor
But you see, my beloved, what has happened in this process? Well, what has happened is that the value of the labor of the majority of the population has now been reduced because you still only work x amount of hours, and you are still paid x amount of whatever the monetary unit is. But you need more money to pay for the goods and services you need in order to survive.

And this then leads to a spiral, my beloved, where in the beginning, of course, of the Industrial Revolution – when this new money system started becoming the norm – well the people who did the actual work, the value of their labor was degraded to the point where they could hardly maintain a living. Which necessitated that the workers started organizing into labor unions, who then demanded higher wages, which then the employers were forced to pay. But in so doing they created a spiral where, again, those in the power elite simply created more money out of nothing to pay the higher wages. And so for a time the workers were happy, but as the filter-down effect on prices took place, then again the value of their labor was degraded. And this has continued, my beloved, to the present day.

How the people uphold the system of the elite
Now of course, you will look back at history and see that if you compare what an ordinary laborer is paid today, to what a laborer was paid a hundred years ago, you will say the laborer today can buy more goods and services and has a higher standard of living than they had a hundred years ago. And this is true, my beloved. But why is this true?

It is true because part of the money that was created out of nothing has been, so to speak, absorbed into the system, through the fact that people have continued to multiply their talents. They have taken initiative, they have brought forth new inventions, better methods for fabrication, and they have become more productive in their work. So that the average worker today can produce much more than the average worker could a hundred years ago.

So you see that those people who are still functioning in the state of consciousness of not wanting something for nothing – but being willing to work to earn a living – well they have, so to speak, underwritten the system of the elite by adding real value to the economy. And this has prevented the inflation created by an increase in the money supply from reaching such proportions that the economy literally would collapse because the money had no value.

As you have indeed seen in certain circumstances, such as Argentina and Germany, where you needed a wheelbarrow full of paper bills in order to buy a loaf of bread because the money was worth next to nothing. In fact, there have been periods where the value of the money, where the money itself, literally was not worth the paper it was printed on. So it was cheaper for people to light the fire with money than to use the money to buy firewood, my beloved.

Inflation is a hidden form of taxation
And so you see that the money system – the fiat money system based on fractional reserve banking, based on creating money out of debt – has a built-in inflationary factor that inevitably will cause the system to collapse. Because those who are in charge of such a money system cannot contain their greed, my beloved. The king will want more money, the bankers will want to make a greater profit. And why not, when all they need to do is roll the printing presses and print more money?

And therefore, they inevitably become blinded by that greed, and they set the economy into an inflationary spiral that will destroy the economy—if it is not balanced by the real people performing real labor, real goods and services. And therefore increasing the amount of services so quickly that the money supply, the money system, does not collapse, does not go into the tailspin of an inflationary cycle that cannot be stopped.

So do you see that even though you can say that the average worker, the average citizen, is better off today, this is true—but this is only true because they have been willing to multiply their talents. But what I want you to understand here is that through the money system, the people have not reaped the natural God-given reward of the multiplication of their talents. Because through the increase of the money supply and inflation, they have, in fact been taxed, my beloved.

For inflation is indeed a hidden form of tax, where the people do not realize they are taxed because they do not see it on their tax bill or their paycheck—that x amount of dollars have been taken out of their paycheck. What they do not see is that the value of the money, and thereby the value of their labor, has been reduced.

Concentrating wealth in the hands of the elite
So what I want you to understand is that if there had been a divine economy over this last century and more, then the standard of living that you see today would have been even higher. And if that economy had been truly divine, then you would see a state where there would not be any poverty left for any people in the western civilized nations.

And indeed, you would also have seen a worldwide economy, where the standard of living would have gone up tremendously in what you today consider the poor nations—where, indeed, so many people must exist on less than two dollars a day. This would not have taken place in a divine economy, because the value of the abundance would have increased so greatly that there would have been enough to pull everybody up to a decent standard of living.

And so what you see here is that the power elite – through the perversion of the money system, and through eroding the value of the fiat money that they have created – well then they have managed to actually delay the God-ordained growth in the economy and the manifestation of the abundant life that should have come about by now—if it had not been for this intervention of the power elite.

And so what has happened instead, my beloved, is, as I explained, that the first people who can spend the newly created money – the money that has no correspondence to real value – well they can, of course, buy goods and services with that money at the old prices. Because only as the new money circulates through the economy will prices go up.

So what you actually see here is that over the last century and more, you have seen a greater and greater concentration of wealth in the control of a smaller and smaller elite. So that you now, literally, have five to ten percent of the population in the United States who control the majority of the wealth in this nation. And my beloved, even the top two percent control the majority of that wealth. And this, of course, is not the divine economy, where there is abundance for all.

How today’s “kings” finance their wars
And so you need, as the spiritual people, to educate yourself to how this works, and we will indeed provide more instruction on this. But certainly, I encourage you to come to understand this by studying at least the basics of how the money system currently works.

And you will see that this is an absolute perversion of the abundant life of God. This is nothing more than the power elite – those who are trapped in the duality consciousness – seeking to control the people through the money supply. And you will know, my beloved, that one of the original bankers that created this system said, that if you allowed him to control a nation’s money, he did not care who made the nation’s laws,* for he knew that the nation could be controlled through the money system.

And so, you need to see this – even in today’s world, my beloved – that this is still going on. In the United States, for example, you have the unholy alliance between the federal government – which is at least a federal agency – and the Federal Reserve, which as most of you know – but which most Americans do not know – is not a federal agency. And therefore is not answerable to the people in a direct manner by the people being able to vote.

So you see, my beloved, what is happening here is that the government of today also faces the situation that they want to spend more money than they know the people are willing to pay in taxes. And so where to do they get the money from? They create it, or they let the bankers create it out of nothing, thereby eroding the entire value of the money—and thus taxing the people without the people being aware of this.

So take a modern example of this, my beloved, and imagine that President Bush in 2003 had said to the American people in his State of the Union Address: “I have decided to go to war against Saddam Hussein, and my people tell me that this will cost each American family 2,000 dollars over the next year, so expect to see an increase in your tax bill.”

Well, my beloved, do you think the American people would have been very positive towards such an announcement? Many of them, surely, would have revolted against this—a war that they from the beginning were not really sure was necessary and would rather have avoided.
So what did the president do? Well, he simply set the money machine in motion, and the Federal Reserve created the money out of nothing, lending it to the federal government so that they could spend it to buy the goods and services that were needed to start the military invasion in Iraq.

The magical money machine
And this, my beloved, is not only done for war. It is done for many other aspects of the economy, where the government wants to spend more than they think the people are willing to pay in taxes, so they simply camouflage it as inflation so that the people pay it anyway. But now they do not notice and thus they do not object.

And of course, the bankers and those in the top financial elite, they make the money off of it, because you the people not only have the degradation of the value of the money but you also pay the interest of the federal debt, my beloved. Or perhaps you do not pay it, but your children or grandchildren might end up paying it—unless, of course, they continue the scheme indefinitely.

For the bankers are not necessarily concerned about having you pay back the debt—as long as you keep paying the interest and allowing them to create more money out of nothing, so that they can keep their money machine rolling.

Yet, my beloved, you do need to educate yourself to the connection between war and money. For even though I said that the kings were open to creating fiat money to finance their wars, you should not be so blind that you do not see that the bankers quickly realized that there was no better way to earn a profit than to set nations against each other in Europe so that they went to war.

For once two nations are committed to war, my beloved, well is it not so that suddenly they feel a need to spend whatever money is needed to defeat their enemy? And thus, they spend more money than they ever would have done in peacetime. And so who makes the money off of it? Well, certainly the bankers, who in many cases in Europe financed both sides of the conflict, my beloved, and also opened the weapons plants that produced the weapons used in the conflict. And thus, they made a profit all around, while the people paid not only with their blood in the war but also with their sweat and blood as they worked to produce the real value that was needed to keep the system going.

The modern form of slavery through money
This, my beloved, then is a form of slavery that is far beyond the physical slavery that you have seen with the native peoples of this continent being sold into slavery, or people from Africa being imported into slavery. For again, this was a physical slavery that the people were surely aware of.

But the slavery that you are under is a slavery that most people do not understand, and therefore they cannot object to it because they do not even know. They just notice that they have to work harder and harder, and they do not understand why this is so. But they do not muster the will to be more and to educate themselves as to why they have to work harder, as to why it seems their dollar is not stretching as far as it used to.

And so you see, my beloved, again, that you have the situation that Kuan Yin explained—that everything that happens in the material realm is an outpicturing in matter of the consciousness of the people. So the people themselves – by not being willing to take responsibility for their society, for their money system – well they draw unto them those who are willing to pervert the system and take advantage of the people.

And this then, my beloved, becomes a vicious circle that only has two potential outcomes. Either the people wake up, educate themselves, and demand the return to a divine economy with a sound money system. Or the power elite will inevitably keep increasing the money supply in their greed and their blindness and even their spiritual pride, where they think they will never have to suffer the consequences of their actions. For they are so used to the people bearing the karma and the consequences of their actions that they think they can get away with anything.

And thus, you cannot expect the power elite to stop this downward spiral. And thus, if the people do not put on the brakes, then it is just a matter of time before the money machine will run amok, my beloved. And as you see with a train that runs faster and faster and faster – until the wheels start coming off and everything flies apart and the whole system collapses – and then you will be faced with the necessity to return to a sound money system.

A golden age economy
But this, of course, will create immense suffering and pain, and thus it would be far preferable to me that you would see an awakening among the people. Where they would realize that when you have a sound money system – where money is tied to real value – you have the foundation for a golden age economy.

For my beloved, in the Golden Age, you will see a steady growth in the amount of abundance available, a steady growth in opportunity. Where people can see that when they put forth the effort, when they are willing to work harder, they get a return, a multiplication of their return. And thus, instead of simply going into the consciousness that we will go to work for eight hours and be happy with the money we get – or at least get by with the money we get – people see that if they are willing to work harder, they can reap a much greater return.

And thus, they are willing to put in the effort, which then creates even more abundance. And so you see now a positive spiral, where the people are reaping the rewards of their own labor, and therefore they are willing to work even more. Not necessarily that they work harder but that they work smarter, my beloved, and therefore produce even more value. And everything then becomes an upward spiral.

For surely, my beloved, you do not envision, do you, that in the Golden Age – the Golden Age of Saint Germain – you would still have billions of people living at the starvation level or living at the poverty level? Surely, my beloved, the vision that I hold for the Golden Age is a vision where no one is poor, no one is lacking for food, no one is lacking for a decent standard of living. No one is lacking for the free time to pursue the spiritual aspects of life according to their own choosing.

So that those who do not want to accumulate greater material wealth can still make a living with a relatively small investment in time, and therefore can focus most of their attention, energy, and time, on spiritual pursuits that will raise the consciousness. And as you raise the consciousness, you open the door for the bringing forth of new inventions, new methods of fabrication, new forms of energy, my beloved, that will allow you again to increase the amount of abundance so that the economy can grow even further.

My beloved, there literally is no end to the growth in the economy in a golden age society. Again, my beloved, the concept of limits to growth is put upon you by the fallen beings who want you – the people – to accept limits for your growth, while they, of course, have no intention whatsoever of limiting their own accumulation of wealth, power, and privilege. But they have to find a way to get the people to be satisfied with less, so that they can have more.

Whereas in the Golden Age the people are not satisfied with less, for they realize that it is the Father’s good pleasure to give them more. It is thereby their divine birthright to reap the reward of their initiative, their labor. And thus, my beloved, they want that more, because why not? It is part of bringing forth the Kingdom of God on Earth.

Poverty is a perversion of the Divine Father and the Divine Mother
And thus, my beloved, I desire you to tune in, in your hearts, to the reality that money is not evil, but that money in its pure form is simply an expression of the Mother. Where if you did not have money, the economy simply could not grow beyond a certain level, for it is impossible with a barter economy, where you have to exchange one item for another or for a particular service without having the convenience of the medium of exchange that money provides.

And so you see very much that money is an expression of the Mother and the Mother flame. But again, if the Mother is disconnected from the Father, then the Mother becomes an end in itself. And so money becomes an end in itself—rather than a means to the end of keeping the divine economy going, bringing forth greater abundance.

And then, my beloved, when you have the perversion of the Mother, you see that instead of an upward spiral of increasing the amount of abundance, you instead have a situation where you limit the growth so that there is either little growth or no growth. And so that you now have a concentration of wealth in the hands of a small group of people who actually do not want to increase the amount of abundance.

They want to concentrate it in their own hands, and they do not care that the total amount of abundance is not increased, for they do not care that the people live in poverty. In fact, they almost prefer it, because then they seem richer in comparison—when the people are poorer, my beloved.

Surely, you can see today that the feudal lords of medieval Europe – living in their cold stone castles, their drafty castles – were not living with a very high standard of living compared to what even the average person has today. But nevertheless, their standard of living seemed very high in comparison to the majority of the people who lived in very poor conditions.

So you see that the power elite are trapped in the duality consciousness, which is relative, and therefore compares everything based on a relative value judgment, based on a judgment of appearances. And so they are raising themselves in comparison to others, not by actually increasing – not by multiplying, their talents and increasing the amount of wealth – but they do it by keeping others down, by limiting the value of their labor, thereby limiting the total amount of wealth.

This is the total perversion of both the Divine Father and the Divine Mother, where the Divine Father provides the increase in the total amount of abundance, and the justice of the Divine Mother distributes that among all people, so that all can have a decent standard of living and pursue their divine plans as they see fit individually.

Money and the displacement of native peoples
Thus, my beloved, keep this in mind, for you will see – if you connect it to what you have talked about with the displacement, the forced displacement, of the native peoples – you will see that what was really behind this was the greed for money, the greed for value by removing the native peoples off their lands. Well then, the white people could start farming that land in more efficient ways, so that they would then increase the amount of abundance produced on the same acreage of land.

But my beloved, even then the people would not reap the full reward of their labor, for it was – even then – to some degree, concentrated in the hands of an elite—those who controlled the trade, those who controlled the government. So do you see that it was not the little people, so to speak, who wanted the Indians forcefully moved off their land? It was the elite of the time who wanted to make more money off of the land, and therefore wanted white farmers to farm the land and produce more than the native peoples were willing or able to produce on the same amount of land. So that they then could reap the rewards of the farmers’ labor and concentrate the money in their own hands.

So do you see that even behind this mentality of, “Well, let us just take these indigenous people and move them out west where they are out of the way,” well even behind that was the power elite and their insensitivity to life and the consciousness of wanting to reap the fruit of other people’s labor.

And so you see how this all ties together with the perversion of the Mother, the unbalanced use of the Mother, where the money becomes the means to control the people and therefore allows those who are the controllers in the elite, allows their greed to run amok and become a never-ending quest for more and more in the material realm. Rather than using the abundance in the material realm as a platform for spiritual pursuits that then raises the consciousness of the people and brings forth the Kingdom of God.

For the elite does not want the Kingdom of God—for in the Kingdom of God they cannot be the elite. In fact, they cannot even remain on this planet, so they want to stop the Kingdom of God. And they do this by perverting every aspect of society, where the people are not awake – are not aware, are not taking responsibility for educating themselves and making their own decisions – instead wanting the elite to make decisions for them, my beloved.

This then is the absolute requirement for a Golden Age to manifest—that the people wake up realize how every aspect of society has been perverted by the consciousness of anti-christ, the dualistic consciousness, and decide that they will no longer be pawns in this game, they will no longer be the slaves, they will no longer be the worker bees for the elite.

But they will take back their birthright to be the people of God—those who do not identify themselves based on the divisions created by the elite, but those who identify themselves based on the I AM consciousness. And thus, they become the I AM people who are the foundation for the true America, which is not limited to this particular nation but is a universal principle, a universal idea, that can spread to every nation on Earth. And when it does, you will see the Golden Age of Saint Germain manifest.

Decide that you want the Golden Age to be manifest
For surely, my beloved, you do not for a moment believe – do you – that I, Saint Germain, sponsored America so that America could be the only country that had the Golden Age? I sponsored America as a platform, as a springboard, for bringing forth the universal ideas of the Golden Age that could then spread to all other nations. So that all nations and all people could have the benefits of the Golden Age that I sponsored—not just for this continent and this nation, but for the entire planet. For I do not limit myself to one nation. I am the sponsor of all people for the Golden Age in the Age of Aquarius.

And thus I say to all people everywhere, “Wake up and claim your birthright!” For I, Saint Germain, am indeed ready to give you the Golden Age. For as the father of the Golden Age, it is my good pleasure to give you my kingdom.

Claim it, accept it, bring it into manifestation! Prove me herewith, sayeth the Lord, and I shall pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Not only shall there not be physical room, but even your minds can scarcely conceive of the wonders that I am ready to release—when there are people who are ready to put them to use for the benefit of all, rather than the misuse of concentrating wealth in the hands of the elite.

Thus I say to you, I, Saint Germain, am ready to manifest my Golden Age on this planet. Are you ready to accept it?

Audience answers: YES!

Then be it so, and then envision that all other people also will wake up and be ready to accept it and realize that there IS a better way, there IS a golden age waiting to be brought into manifestation. If they will only play their part and multiply the talents that I am ready to give you, many of which I have already given you by sponsoring technology, science and invention.

Thus, I thank you for being here, for being on the broadcast, for providing me a platform, for doing the spiritual work that allowed me to release a greater concentration of light than I could have done, had you not been willing to raise up a chalice so that I have something to multiply.

For you recognize, my beloved, that we of the Ascended Host can multiply, but we must have something to multiply. And you must provide it, so that we can do our part and provide the increase. Thus, in gratitude, I seal you in the heart of Saint Germain. I seal you in the Freedom Flame that I AM.
