The "separateness" that evolves from this form of society encourages the pyramidal hierarchy of leadership that we observe today and more importantly for the elite, prevents us discovering the true potential that we, as a whole or community have.
If the value of money is what we amongst ourselves agree upon then the value of debt must also be a product of our consensus reality that we choose to subscribe to.
Bearing in mind that fiat world currencies are no longer backed by commodities (gold, silver etc.) it would appear that WE really do set the value of this paper.
From a LOO perspective the debt can not be "real" as the entire concept of money is based on scarcity as opposed to the abundance that we know exists if we embrace the concept of a limitless Creation.
Very astute! Why even play the game?
I too was in a similar situation. My husband and I were forced (by circumstances like getting laid off, etc.) to file bankruptcy. I struggled with this for awhile...wouldn't this be incurring karma if we shirked the responsibility of repaying those debts?
I think if someone intentionally charges up their credit cards with abandon, then files bankruptcy in order to avoid paying it back would be incurring karma. But in our case, and probably that of most well-intentioned people, we just got in over our heads due to economic factors, many of which were perpetrated by STS entities in positions of power. For example, on one level, the reasons I got laid off were a) the company was outsourcing jobs to India and b) a co-worker lied about me in order to save his own job.
Prior to getting laid off, we had been paying our bills just fine. So, by looking more deeply into the situation, it could be said that STS energies were involved in my getting into that situation of debt in the first place.
Then, I had health problems which were largely caused by me being vulnerable (many years ago) to manipulation by someone I now believe to be STS. The health problems precluded me from working a regular 8-5 job.
I'm not making excuses for my own response to catalyst, but am just showing how different energies come into play.
Then you have the credit card companies who routinely take advantage of others...with inflated interest rates etc. It's a form of usury. This doesn't mean we should screw them over in return, of course, but somehow, when events happen without our intentions, such as my own situation in which I was advised by an attorney to file bankruptcy because we were in so deep, and that was preferable to losing our house, sometimes there is a sense of cosmic justice when we choose to forgive ourselves for past mistakes.
I truly don't feel one iota of guilt over those credit card charges. I know it wasn't intentional. I had full intentions of paying it back. However, now that those charges have been neutralized, as I begin to attract more abundance in my life, I want to give to others...share that abundance in some way...which will bring the energy full circle and participate in that cosmic justice.
Since we are all ONE, it seems to me that paying it forward (as directed by guidance) could be seen as neutralizing past debt karma in much the same way as repaying the entity we owed...maybe even be better in some cases.
Since I didn't intentionally try to take $$ from the credit card companies, but it just happened the way it did...just flowed...I am choosing to accept that flow and trust that a balancing of energies is being orchestrated, of which I played a tiny part. I truly believe that the old structures of banking, the corrupt medical industry, aspects of government, etc. are crumbling before our very eyes, and the true prosperity is being redistributed...NOT by any political means, but by natural forces unseen. Abundance is being utilized by those who can use it for good, instead of the old corrupt institutions who are on their way out.
