The fall of occidental civilization is accelerating.  Acceleration is a perfect example of instability: a force initiates a process that results in an ever-increasing velocity, requiring an external force to arrest it. At the heart of this collapse lies a profound confusion about money, due to a misplaced faith in intellectual and pseudo scientific artifices conjured up by the predominant financial and economic belief system.  This belief system is false as it is based on spurious and incoherent foundational concepts and definitions that only garner credibility through subtle fear mongering and systematic abuse. It all boils down to how knowledge of the lie is used and concealed to profit from it and pass on the losses to those less knowledgeable of the lie (beginning to sound familiar?).  Those that have invested time and energy to become proficient in this domain, become increasingly defensive of their personal investment in learning and opining within the current paradigm, trying to cover up the twisting and massaging of reason required to defend the pushing of false "opinion" without ever producing relevant facts or proofs. In spite of the accelerating collapse of our civilisation, this domain continues to provide ÒopportunityÓ to those who would thrive on interpreting what passes as knowledge and what these spurious creeds proclaim as correct and incorrect.

Was not the Òdevil" the very first to "eat" from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Is he not the founder of the art of "profiting" from the ignorance of the difference between good and evil? Think about it, how do you ÒeatÓ i.e. obtain a livelihood from the knowledge of good and evil? Only by brokering and retaining understanding of that difference, can one ÒeatÓ or otherwise obtain a livelihood from the knowledge of good and evil. When we were in the ÒGarden of EdenÓ, we were in the first instance at peace and in harmony with the universe only when we joined the feast and orgy that comes from fiddling with the truth, like a paedophile fiddles with a child, did we lose our bearings and hence expel ourselves from the garden of bliss.   The devil, founder of the mother of all false paradigms, is always one or more steps ahead of the rest who come later to "eat" and  "profit" from Òthe tree of the knowledge of good and evilÓ. But the devil isnÕt sharing any juicy tricks, to the contrary, the more it keeps us in the dark the more it becomes our lord.

Economics, false sciences and bullshit paradigms are the only trees that grow in hell, that place we create when we plant these distorted and hideous creatures, and any adventure and excitement is soon lost when we tour this grandiose landscape of human depravity, where the devil bloats our egos as it exclaims to the abyss, the grandeur of not his, but OUR grand works, in ITS hell of OUR making. ÒAh, that great tree of the knowledge of good and evil was the doing of this great so and so and that other tree of that other so and so. ArenÕt they wonderful? Lets name a faculty after each of themÓ. All these ÒworksÓ, are founded and paid for by our slavery to the false paradigm in exchange for the devilÕs promise and is only palatable against the dire back drop of the anguish and pain, that comes with the realisation of how we have been duped into wasting so much of our precious lives pursuing the devilÕs agenda.

Needless to say, within said paradigm no solutions ever emerge, the most that anyone can enjoy is the fleeting sensation of having oneÕs "opinions" ÒrespectedÓ for brief moments. From time to time some might even declare to "agree", thus providing the needed stimulus to continue eloquently describing and speculating as to what the solution might or might not be, but always without ever providing solutions. No, Solutions are the domain of facts in motion not of thought in fantasy that the devilÕs reality is made up of. We are sold all sorts of surrogates for truth, such as stomaching the disagreeable is a measure of ÒrealismÓ, why else would we recognise the disagreeable if it were not at least the truth? Thomas Hardy once wrote: ÒIf a way to the better there be, it exacts a full look at the worst", a good rule of thumb but that does not mean that all that is disagreeable is true! Such sly nuances in interpretation of reality is at the heart of the subtle and slippery art by which the devil confounds us and makes us evermore callous and dull. Similarly and by caressing our egos for having stomached the stench of its ploys, it fools us into believing we have done our very best, unless the factual answer was given and ignored or missed, which leads us to experiencing Òuncomfortable truthsÓ, but that is ok because we have learnt to stomach the disagreeable. How many of us have what it takes to be comfortable with the truth? Apparently few, particularly if in the face of being applauded and revered for using many eloquent words for saying absolutely nothing, one is called upon to acknowledge oneÕs ignorance or failings! Is this not the epitome of being the devilÕs ÒtoolÓ?

Hence, it is preferable to reach out to those that in spite of their foiled dreams, countless setbacks and unforgiving circumstances, nonetheless maintain a place in their hearts for the truth, humbly accepting its presence as it in turn offers, just as humbly, nothing less than the key to heaven, just for simply allowing it (the truth) to reside within. Whole ideologies have railed against such a humble presence of truth in the hearts of men, in frivolous and damaging efforts to sustain false paradigms. Adding insult to injury, innocence is plundered to uphold false virtues and outright deceit. As the saying goes, when having difficulty getting out of a ditch, stop digging! Yet it seems the ditch never stops getting deeper!

Who is ready to stand up and forget about their opinions and use say math, science or logic as objective and independent methods for evaluating hypotheses? Who has the courage to admit that they donÕt yet have the necessary acumen to really contribute constructively to learning and conveying a true solution? Apparently not many, most opting for winging it no matter the cost, ostensibly in the vain hope that the riddle will remain unsolved at least within their lifetime.   The whole economic profession, save the few exceptions that prove the rule, is a sorry farce, a cruel experiment that turns people into hypocritical fools selling each other colossal lies, while remaining immersed in fulfilling tedious requirements through pointless tasks, required to ÒearnÓ the devilÕs promises. Don't know who said it first, but the devil keeps all its promises, it is just that when it delivers it never feels like what was anticipated when the deal was consummated. Paraphrasing an ancient Chinese proverb - beware of what you wish for the devil just might be the one to deliver!

But we have our children to save, and maybe there exists an infinity of universes we can be reborn into, in which to transcend the devilÕs ploys. Not to mention how we can still live the rest of this life in wonder if only we break the devilÕs money contract by directly embracing simple truth. Remember, no matter how simple, you can never outsmart the truth.

As for money, the devilish meta tool for keeping the herd confused and bewildered, the logical steps to honourably breaking this diabolic spell are really quite simple:

1) Make money abundant and Passive BIBO stable by eliminating all unbounded outputs (elimination of interest). That is maintaining stable ratios between wealth input, money and debt outputs. If you have any real understanding of stability, you will realise that accommodating any unbounded output of a system, serves only to enslave you in a fruitless task of compensating for it forever or, until you finally decide uproot the instability.

2) Pay all unbounded debt with stable bounded money (i.e. replace the nominal value of unbounded debt with bounded debt. This step establishes our honour (even the devil deserves our honour) while arresting any growth of liability and allowing us all the time we need to honour our debt.

3) Earn back any lost wealth but within the bounds of a stable and fair economy i.e. at the rate we truly wish and need to create wealth not at the rate of arbitrary debt growth.

4) Win the full confidence and forgiveness of the people of the world by restoring and exemplifying how with true honour and liberty you broke the devilÕs contract. No doubt the greatest and most valuable product any humans can provide each other.

This straight forward proposal is meticulously supported by math and science at www.bibocurrency.org, the very language the devil and its obtuse minions shun, because it is a language that no individual or collective rules over, the language of the universe, the very logic that explains everything including the devilÕs domain.

Thus is the only honourable way out of the devilÕs contract and the only way we can reach heaven where all, without fear, may enjoy the pleasure of harbouring truth in their hearts, that most wonderfully fulfilling yet humble guest that retains no secret and conceals nothing from those of us who choose to seek and invite it in.

Because it is the very absence of our unfettered freedom that is the foundation of a good functioning hell we cannot eliminate hell, as it is the undesired consequence of our absolute freedom of choice (wrap your head around that one!). All we can do, is to depopulate it i.e. make it a choice that as few of us as possible ever make. Therein lies the true art of living.

A Final word about heaven: Heaven is not a physical place or domain, it is not a savannah where the temperature is perfect, the flies donÕt infest the lions and where antelopes are never sacrificed, nor is it where no one falls ill and dies nor is ever stung by scorpions or bitten by snakes. Heaven is a state of mind that brings solace, comfort and joy no matter the circumstances sentient beings must endure; it is that ingredient that makes any experience worthwhile that turns adversity into an adventure, an opportunity for unlimited realisation and fulfilment. It is what remains when the physical world ceases; it is the unbounded accumulation of true knowledge, compassion and understanding. It is the ultimate relief from all suffering and it is in all of us at every juncture of our lives whenever we chose to partake in it. It is what allows us the joy of having overcome our difficulties in dignity and honour. It is the means to forgiveness for all who sincerely wish to partake in it. Heaven is always a choice, the door is never closed and the price of staying out of heaven is hell itself. Step into heaven my friends and start eating the fruit of the tree of true knowledge instead of that of the knowledge of the DIFFERENCE between good AND evil.
