My beef with Corkboard

but even a side business/income provides a possible way of weaning oneself off the 'system'.

there is always a 'start' to generating one's own Light as sustenance

We chose to come into the world while this system of money is in place. Whatever it actually is (meaningless pieces of paper, electronic data) it is the medium of exchange. Wherever the system came from (as pointed out by Ra), this is it right now.

Our attitude concerning it can change. Here are some ways:

1) Remove the emotional charge. Consider that money is simply the way to barter right now. The money system will change, but until it does, embrace the tool. "The love of money is the root of all evil" is not accurate in my mind, rather, greed in general is destructive; money is inert.

2) The work that you are bartering for the money, which will be bartered for what you need or want, is where you can put your energy. Do the very best you can at everything you do, including your job. Do not harbor thoughts that "the boss" is making all the money and you are his/her slave (these thoughts only set up a barriers). Have your side of the exchange be impeccable. If you don't like your job, then still do it well, but make plans for what you want to do instead. This will shift the energy from negative thoughts to positive ones.

3) By embracing that money is simply the exchange tool by which we create choices, we reprogram all the crap we have absorbed. The crap: money is the root of all evil; you can't buy the things that really matter (how about helping starving people in Africa, or setting up charities and foundations for the healing and advancement of humankind and the planet?); the rich are a**holes; us and them scenarios; these are likely promoted by STS elite who are greedy and don't want the masses to empower themselves with choice. Reprogram "money" to mean choice. Throw out all the judgments.

There is a shift toward business ownership and long-distance working. The internet provides a wonderful venue for new business. If you want to start a business, go for it! I will tell you that it is hard work, but it is worth it.

First, do a lot of reflection about what you would like to provide as a service (maybe selling vitamins and donating a percentage to 3rd world countries who can't afford them), and where your strengths lie. Then start making plans and setting goals. Download a free business plan template and start taking a look at what is entailed in completing it. The business plan is one of the first brick walls people stop at. Entrepreneurs climb all the brick walls. You can have a business without the business plan, but it is a good template by which to steer your business and it tells you where you are going.

Working for yourself is a step away from the whole industrial revolution system, which set us all up to be obedient (9-5 working was a way to get agricultural folks to obey a different, artificial clock--another link in the chain of control).

Make lots of choices (money), and keep the flow of the money moving by giving lots away to those in need. One of the things the STS elite do is contract the money flow. Open it up, let it flow.

So, spiritually speaking, instead of fighting the system, transmute it.
