A DOSE OF REALITY heralds AN ALTERNATIVE CURRENCY

The truth about the nature of reality is up for grabs.  What we believe is real is what's real to us.  So if we don't much care for the nature of our reality it only makes sense to question what we believe, and consider there might be some form of external stimulus at work intent on influencing our systems of belief.  After all, knowing this, anyone interested in global power would take advantage of such a potential as soon as they realized they could.  

In the world we inhabit today, one of the most influenced and most influential 'realities' we believe in is the necessity and power of money.  But what is money really?  What exactly does it represent?  And what does that mean to us?  And, if it's not used with integrity, does it really matter?

 
So I was listening to a radio show called Dose of Reality for the first time in a while last night.  I hadn't had the opportunity for a variety of reasons, which is a shame. 

BEHOLD THE GLOBAL ROUNDUP

We've come a long way from the hunter-gatherers we used to be—at least that's what we're told. 

We've formed ourselves into groups, and groups of groups, so we live in a complex society now.  We've achieved a sometimes inspiring level of culture in the arts, uncovered some intriguing technologies through science, and are in the process of initiating a spiritual synthesis that may hold great promise, depending on how we handle it. 

That's the good news.

INFOMANIA

We've also collected a mass of externalized information and experience (for what it's worth empirically) particularly over the last century or so and most notably in the past few years.  But with this veritable Everest of data now online and at our fingertips we should pause for a moment to think about what we're going to do with it.  There are repercussions to blindly assimilating raw data.
