I heard something recently to the effect that money is simply a reason to express gratitude.
Even if we do away with money, and everyone's "needs" are met - as long as we are in this dimension and it is shared by both STO & STS polarized entities, there will be inequity in the distribution of resources. Some will have more, some will have less. But then again, some will need/desire more and some will need/desire less. As long as there were no hurricanes, I could be happy in a shack on a beach somewhere as long as I had enough food and could do something to help others. Even if it was just to bring them their beer when they wanted one.
When I was 17 I spent 3 months in the heart of Mexico on a sort of "missions" trip through my church. I was there ostensibly to be a tourist. But I spent my time in a "home for children" helping out. The kids were not orphans, but had families who lived in very rural areas where they would have no access to schools. They could come stay at "the home" during the shool year and get an education.
Anyway - to get to the point and avoid derailing this thread - while I was there I did in fact get to tour around somewhat by escorting some of the kids home during their school breaks. I saw families living in caves, with no running water, no toilet facilities, etc. But you know what? They were healthy and happy and very welcoming when I came to visit. I shared their food and slept on their fresh straw beds. So "need" is really a very relative, subjective state of being, even in this dimension.
If pressed, I'd have to say that my answer would be most closely aligned with choice #3 - "some magic combination . . . ."
Light and love!
