Thanks for trying the page. About your question.... I hope you don't mind that I also post this reply to the FreeFlow yahoogroup, because this is really the discussion I would like to start there: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FreeFlow/ I think we can develope many alternative streams in which resources can flow to where they are needed. Buying and selling with use of money is only one way. IMO there is nothing wrong with money, but.... I do think that we emphasise too much on it, and believe too much in our dependancy on money. The result of this is, that we hand out power to big multinationals and commerce orientated governments; that we allow globalism to continue on the cost of third world countries, the enviroment and ordinary people all over the world. When we think that we are powerless, we can easily be manipulated and forced into ways of living, that we may not even chose and drag many others with us, and also being dragged along. Whereas FreeFlow is really happening all the time. And there is an option to be focussed on THIS and rather use money in the situations where there is really no other choise. And also to chose to use money in a wholesome way; not in greed, not in fear and not out of sheer lazyness. Because, sometimes it is just so easy.... When for instance there is a choise between going to Mac Donalds or grow lattuce in the garden, from the seeds you get from friends, pick the lattuce and prepare a salad from it. The latter is more work. But... also healthier and more wholesome. Because.... was there really a conscious choise to wanna support Mac Donalds? FreeFlow also includes money. But it is a different approach. For instance, there have been 2 occasions in my life, where good friends have donated a big sum of money to me; and quite some occasions where I have been given smaller sums. This was given spontaniously and unconditionally, out of friendship and appreciation. And I can tell you that money that came to me in this way was worth far more to me than any money I have earned thru working or received from the state. Money given to me with an open heart like this, has inspired me to do really good things, and to be generous to others as well. So.... these gifts started a very different energy stream, based on generosity, appreciation and compassion. Therefor giving is very sensible. I have experienced the same with healing. As a spiritual healer I've been through the phase that I thought I should try and make a living out of a practice as a healer and ask people these high soms that ppl nowadays say that every self respecting healer should ask, and that one is not professional and self respecting when one doesn't. Well.... immediately very poor people came on my path who were in dour need of healing, the money thing became really painful and even went on the cost of the flow of healing energies. I mean.... how could i withold compassion from other beings, only because they could not pay me? That is really a most hurtful thing one can do to others.... I decided that what I was adviced by "professionals" about having to charge money, is really not true for me. I can give high quality healing for free. It being free does not go on the expense of the quality. Such is only a self fulfilling prophesy and is merely mirrors a lack of generosity. On the contrary; real quality; the higest quality is exchanged by people completely unconditionally. So.... what FreeFlow is about, is letting energies flow generously and abundantly in wholesome directions and taking full responsibility for this. A google search on "freeflow open source economy" turned up hundreds of pages, mainly about the Linux movement. And I LOVE Linux. I am really not such a geek. And I only just started to explore this system. But I think it is just so wonderful that all this freeware sofware is available and is really a good alternative to the monopoly of microsoft. Also, I just love working in Linux; it has such good vibes, especially compared to microsoft. A reaaly different feel; more positive and wholesome. Linux is one way in which a Free Flow has been established and made available for the good of people. So what I am interested in is to apply these principles to as many aspects of daily life as possible. And I started the FreeFlow group, to brainstorm about this, find ways to get resources and energies in FreeFlow and freely available for ourselves and others, independent on things as income, status, background, race, culture, religion, etc. Inclusive for all, who feel inspired and empowered by such an intention. In practice this is about being happy to give what we can give unconditionally to those who need it and being equally happy about receiving from others what we need and rejoyce in all the richness that we can share with others and that others enjoy to share with us. This can be anything, from food from our garden, to computer skills and knowledge, to healing, to a sum of money when needed. So the idea is to come up with as many ways as we can to let FreeFlow be present in our daily lives and let it spread and grow in the world. To inspire one another to live a FreeFlow life and to spread this awareness and thus empower FreeFlow in as many people as we can. Love, Desi ------------------------ Yahoo!
