instead you have misread.
two people including me expressed concern about the spiritual ramifications of increased commercialization. not, current 'corruption'.
back in 1982, the only tool to publish something was publishing houses which sold for money. now, we have internet.
Quote:Maybe this gets back to the idea that money is somehow of itself an evil. In my opinion, this is just an easy way out. The people behind the money (in whatever setting) make it in to what it is, be that good or bad. It is simply a tool, just as language is a tool. You can use it how you wish. Depending on your particular bend, that may mean you produce poetry and expressions of love, or vile slurs and expressions of hatred. Or anything in between. Sort of goes back to the theme of third density, polarities. The founders of LLR have been true to one polarity, the right hand STO path. I am not concerned about how LLR would handle additional income. They're more apt make poetry, wouldn't we all agree?

current economic system of the world is negative oriented. therefore, its tool is also 'evil' in a regard, especially when used for profit.
philosophically, profiting, is fundamentally against positive polarity. actually, since everything goes positive starting early 6th, its against nature of existence - you cant expect to be positive, while accepting profits, which are surpluses that are paid to you in excess of the effort you have put into creating the service you are giving. if you add in the fact that what is paid to you will be something that is created by the effort of another individual, its activity, it becomes getting more than you give, ie, an inward, negative flow.
the natural way to conduct life should be direct democracy, in which all entities gather and decide on a course of action, distribute tasks within themselves, and spend their effort to accomplish any mission. and the mission should always be being of benefit to everything around them.
however it is hard to do that in this current social system. therefore, as far as i see, the best option remains to positive entities and groups becomes working from aim to aim, target to target, and spending effort to only acquire funds enough to meet the required expenses for the aim that was set. of course, ongoing natural maintenance expenses should always be accounted for. keeping a certain, modest, defined reserve of funds in case something unexpected happens is also wise, and would not harm anything, however it shouldnt just keep piling up.
leaving aside the fact that anything sold for a price will make getting it harder for those who need it, and participating in the system perpetuates it more.
