That's a thought-provoking observation. It highlights how humans have historically invested symbols-be they flags, religions, or ideologies-with immense power, often to the point where they eclipse the underlying values or truths they were meant to represent. In many ways, this disconnect between symbol and meaning has fueled conflict, as people rally around icons while forgetting the more nuanced intentions or principles those symbols originally embodied. This has roots in our nature; we seem wired to find comfort and identity in shared symbols, but also to divide over them. When symbols become untethered from their intended meaning, it’s easy to see how they can lead to division, even violence. It’s a profound reminder to look beyond the symbols and seek the essence or intention they stand for-an antidote to the confusion.
If morality and light are no longer backing money, then black magic is. This much is apparent with the extents people are willing to go to acquire money. Thank you, Simeon. 💜
Thank you for this important and chilling ( as someone commenting put it) video. It's one of the most edifying aspects of these bizarre times we live in that you can research, create and share information that is actually doing good. Because it is founded in truth. Great work.
Watching these videos and reading books with similar themes kinda opens up the world in a creepy way. Like this world, with all its authority and official-ness, is run purely on motives that were instilled in us our whole lives, often in insidious or naïve ways.
I had a beloved college professor,my first Philosophy teacher,Dr. Rosembaum. The term "Intrinsic worth" was one of the most important things I learned for keeping things in perspective. Money has it's place,but like the song goes,"Can't Buy Me Love".

Before coach red pill went insane and started saying "Ukraine deserved to be attacked by Russia" he actually had a good grasp on what money is and what it's for. It's a social signifier, it lets us all know who we value more.
My father who wasnt in my life wore a hat the day I was born that said "If money is the root of all evil than I want to be bad bad bad." My grandmother asked him to remove it, he refused because he was balding in his early 20s. This story about him and others about him made me believe that money was his downfall, and I have hated it all my life. Ive never had much of it because I get rid of it as soon as I have it like its burning a hole in my pocket. Now I give as much as I can to God to let him deal with it.
@miguelatkinson God doesn't need money, he wants you to be charitable. By being charitable your heart softens to others, and you become more Christ like. Giving is just as beneficial to you as it is to those you give to.
@@crazboy84 but how charitable exactly there a difference in being charitable and oversaring aswell isn't money in your own words kinda a bad wouldn't be more logical from your perspective to burn it than let it corrupt others ?
@miguelatkinson Can you point to a person that has ever lost everything by being charitable? Read Malachi 3:10 and tell me you think God would let a man starve who gave him all he could. After you read it, try putting Malachi 3:10 into action and watch how God moves in your life.
@@crazboy84 I never said anybody lost anything by being charitable I said you can lose things by being oversaring read my comment again because it's clear you missed something and also it isn't a fucking guarantee you won't starve to death if you gave everything away because you can explain homelessness
Economics is religion, Politics is religion, Technology is religion, Medicine is religion. If religion is about faith and ritual then Everything is Religion.
Money is just a medium of exchange a store house of energy that we can spend on our lust, beware of covetousness for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of one’s possessions.
Soo immediately after watching this video, I ordered escape from evil. I just finished the book, and it was one of those books that felt like an epiphany every couple of pages. I'm really interested in expanding on this thought and I'm kinda not sure where to go next. I am especially interested in critical theory. Do you have any other recommendations?
Hey, I'm glad the video inspired you to read the book! One further recommendation I can make is Becker's previous book: The Denial of Death. He won the Pulitzer prize for it and the book is also one of the most transformative pieces of text I've ever read (even more so than Escape from Evil).
It’s not efficient as it is, because “money” is not something we’re all equally able, or even allowed, to acquire. We’re not allowed to produce our own. To claim lands for development et al... All the land is already owned by ancient warlord dynasties that were never punished for their serial murdering invasions that so claimed the lands of our ancestors in their name.
Money can be anything we want, anything we agree upon and use as an exchange. We don't even need banks anymore as money is merely numbers today. But we can make money represent something that humans need and that conditions the earth and is very abundant, something like cannabis - a medium that is used for medicine and thousands of products. The entire money system can be based on it and backed by it. Money has been many things so why not something we can grow and use?
Two books that touch on this subject matter is Magic Myth and Money by W.H. Desmonde and Unusual Psychoanalytical Notes On The Origin Of Money by Fabio Benini a book that looks into the myths of Mesopotamia and Sumerians a place and people where the oldest currency, the shekel originated. That being said money is just anything that is traded. Trade condenses wealth. Fertile regions that trade with less fertile regions accumulate wealth. Wealth in its original form was food specifically grain. A empire with a large food supply can feed its people, in other words, excess energy sweels up population, creating a large work force and the potentiality for a army. The State, originated as legal protection for workers but more importantly for infantry. While David Graeber and David Wengrow might have said otherwise, every major modern aspect was birthed from Neolithic Agricultural Revolution 12,000 years
That is the true religion. Because you can test it, falsify it or confirm it. You can feel it. And if money can't buy you happiness, you don't know where to shop.
very clever seeker a seeker is always clever as contrary to common public notion, they dont leave things they grab things in real hard way.. that needs cleverness with man clever enough to be not fooled by himself
It makes sense not to confuse the symbol for the symbolized. For instance, I am God and symbolize it, but I have lost all hope or goodness or gentleness and often think only of Hell. But I still symbolize God, who wanted to be Good in the past. I did, not anymore. Everything is terrible, everyone sucks. Why did Jesus say not to work for money?
the Original Money wasn't the Egyptians. The original gold coins were made by farmers who traded gold Nuggets for Ownership of their Cow. The Cow was the Product the Gold coin was the seed and the Money was the Love for the cow by the farmer. If as you say Money is a Religion we should add some religious context. The Goddess Juno Moneta was the god of Love and Marriage and she protected the people. Her love of man produced man and they coined in her honor. She loved, man was the produce and the coins were the seed. She was the Daughter of Saturn the Roman Satan and supplanted The eternal creator who created love. A seed of Satan which is the origin of the bible quote. "The Love of Money is the Root of All Evil" in that Juno was the Seed of Saturn and Saturn is evil and thus to love Moneta is to love the root of all evil. Only those who turn away from the divine want to live forever and thus.. Money is Man's attempt to want to be as gods which is exactly what happened in the book of Genesis. Love connects us to the divine and the divine leads us to produce works. The coins produced were not Money, they are Seeds. Those who aren't connected to the Divine will pay Coins to hold a copy of the Product produced through love. Thus to worship money is give those who issue it our Seeds so that they can plant for us with their love which Supplants the divine connection for ourselves. Every time you use Cash or Coin to pay for something you didn't create you are destroying your own Love and Immortality so the entire religion of Money is a Matrix based on the Divine's original plan for man.
Your perspective offers a fascinating reinterpretation of the origins and implications of money. By framing money as a reflection of love and connection to the divine, you highlight its potential role as a facilitator of relationships and community rather than just a medium of exchange. Here are a few points to consider: Money as a Reflection of Love and Labor: Your analogy of farmers trading gold nuggets for ownership of their cows suggests that money originates from tangible relationships and the value placed on products of love and hard work. This challenges the idea of money being a mere abstract concept devoid of human connection. Divine Context: The connection you make between Juno Moneta and the concept of money as a form of worship or devotion is intriguing. It points to how human societies have historically intertwined economic systems with spiritual beliefs, viewing money not just as currency but as a symbol of deeper values and commitments. The Paradox of Wealth: Your interpretation of the biblical quote about the love of money taps into a long-standing critique of materialism. By framing the pursuit of wealth as a separation from divine love and creativity, it invites a reflection on the true source of fulfillment and purpose in life. Money as a Tool vs. an End: The idea that coins are "seeds" raises questions about our relationship with money. If we view money as a means to cultivate love and relationships rather than an end in itself, we might begin to reconsider how we use it. This could encourage more mindful spending, focusing on supporting ventures and individuals that resonate with our values. Cultural Implications: By considering money through a religious lens, you invite discussions on the moral implications of wealth distribution, economic systems, and social justice. This perspective can serve as a call to reevaluate the values we associate with money and how they align with our broader spiritual and ethical beliefs. Overall, your thoughts create a rich tapestry that challenges conventional views of money and invites deeper contemplation on its role in our lives and society. It serves as a reminder that the true value of our actions and exchanges lies in their connection to love, community, and the divine.
Has anyone ever considered various "mental health" and other type groups are just group think sympathetic magic? Like, what if there are groupd of people who get together on sympathetic principles? And then I find no group for me, because I do not sympathize withany humans I know.... At all, i have nothing in common with anyone it seems...
5:58 wow. in Thailand, the cowry shell is still used in folk magic as an amulet for protection. I presume they got it from the Indian subcontinent as a significant amount of their folk magic is influenced by India. there are also yantra (magical sigils) that resemble Solomonic sigil magic. the cultural exchanges in the past were pervasive. 🤍👋
Money the system to make you poor and greedy . The system that replace normal bartering trade and love and understanding the understanding that money is not important as the love of people that its the root of evil.
Is money a religion, no. ... Is capital an religion, yes! Money and Capital are not the same thing! How did money become transendent, dielectics of course, ask Marx! That and Death Drive now we ask Freud! Is communism a religion, maybe, for you to discover?
We've been killing and dying for symbols since before we started confusing the symbol from what it represents.
You should know I may quote you from now on… this is a beautiful and profound thought.
@@seeker2seeker Thank you, and feel free to do so.

Amazing expectacular video!! I love It and help me understand lots of things
Thanks for broadcasting. Beckers work is important 2 me.
Denial of Death is Becker's Magnum Opus. It takes on even deeper aspects of human behavior that Escape from Evil
Very good, loved the music. You also have the analogy of money as the blood of the body politic or state.
Interesting.. It is nice video..
I don't think god needs money respectfully , religion is not what we think
Background music much too loud and distracting. Otherwise your usual excellent teaching.

A Great Thinker
Didn’t expect the depth of this. We’ll done
How do we trade efficiently? With what alternative?
It’s not efficient as it is, because “money” is not something we’re all equally able, or even allowed, to acquire.
We’re not allowed to produce our own. To claim lands for development et al...

Didn't you miss the most important question, namely what gives money its sacramental quality?
I thought he explained that thoroughly in the early section with its origins, shape, color etc. No?
Has anyone ever considered various "mental health" and other type groups are just group think sympathetic magic? Like, what if there are groupd of people who get together on sympathetic principles? And then I find no group for me, because I do not sympathize withany humans I know.... At all, i have nothing in common with anyone it seems...
The head if the issuer has appeared on coins since earliest times. Why do you not know that?

Better late than never. Haha just kidding ..kind of. Most turn the other cheek

Ancient South Americans used to take the gold they collected and throw it all into cenotes for the gods to collect later!
