Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone, namaste;

We are continuing with chapter 13, paragraph 3 in the Letter to the Omans in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"Now about taxes. We advocate abolishing a money system based on interest-bearing debt. We favor a system of giving and receiving because we see that God has supplied everything we need to feed and clothe and house everyone on earth. Let us manufacture things that are truly beneficial for us and the environment. All jobs that need to be done will be done by people who care enough to do them."

Commentary: In an economic system based on the oneness of life there would be more giving and receiving. There would be no financial elite who skim money off the top to keep on enriching themselves at the expense of others. There would also be no slackers who don't contribute to the common welfare. When we realize what we do to or for others we also do to or for ourselves, then society is more harmonious. A system of taxation, if necessary, would be used in a way that is consistent with idea of equality in oneness.
