My own take:
Money is a symbol of energy in motion. It's useful to be able to keep track of symbolic value assigned to the results of activities. It's convenient to be able to have a unified scorecard to measure use of resources. These positive aspects have been subverted into a tool of control based on fear of loss and scarcity. Within 3D, the key lesson is that Bucky Fuller proved Thomas Malthus wrong.
When what was loaned was something that nature made grow and multiply, a return of more than what was loaned makes sense. Borrow the dog, return the dog and get a puppy. Loan seeds to a farmer and get back more seeds than you gave. Money doesn't multiply itself as a force of nature. Mixing interest payments with fiat currency guarantees that someone will lose their place when the music stops.
The current system was designed by a few people as a tool of power, coercion and STS accumulation. Most people use it without any clue about where it came from. News reports treat our political/economic/financial system as some kind of force of nature that just happened without human involvement, like volcanoes. This is a useful fantasy for those who benefit the most from unequal distribution.
I think NESARA is a glitzy showbiz distraction. For those looking for a force outside themselves, it lets them shift their dependency from the present negatively manipulated economic system to a hypothetical future manipulated economic system. Until that external dependency is broken: meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Giving the loan, receiving the loan, paying or not repaying when one has the means: all of these only mean anything as they embody a spiritual orientation. Money itself is a fiction and debt is a story using those imaginary characters such as "Mr. Dollar" and "The Economy." Those stories are ways to help provide people with opportunities to serve or be served, to use or to give of their lives.
