Why not? Why leave it out? Why focus on just the physical substance?
The knowledge of how to use the herbal formula, + the healing it produced, are valuable to the person with the disease. Not just valuable, but priceless. That is an energy exchange. Why leave it out of the equation? Why focus only on mechanics?
I invite you to consider that the exchange is not just physical, and that there are many more factors in the equation. What may appear to be a negative energy flow might not be, once you take all the factors into consideration.

it would still make no difference as to Mr Y making pennies' worth more than he gave away as an effort.
But it does make a difference. The people Mr. Y sold his herbal formula to, lived instead of died. That is an energetic difference.
(10-07-2010, 07:26 PM)unity100 Wrote: none of these change the fact that, taking more than you give, will be negative.
True. I agree on this point. My point is that the giving of knowledge, or healing, or joy, is still giving and thus should be added in to the equation.
Mr. Y might take more money than the actual cost of his herbal formulas, but the actual value of his formulas might be much greater than the cost of the ingredients. How do we put a value on life? We can't. It is considered priceless. Thus, it could be argued that Mr. Y gave far more than he took, because he gave the gift of healing and life, in exchange for mere pennies.

Ah, that is exactly my point! What if you did your analysis at the end of the week, or the end of the month or year or lifetime, instead of the end of the day?
The point at which you do your measuring can make the difference. Flow implies the passage of time. Time may be the missing factor in the equation!

Those kids' smiles constitute energy. Energy flows. What is offsetting but an energy flow? If something is offset, that means it is counterbalanced.

Takes what? Gives what? Why are there rules about what is counted? Why may only physical material objects and money be counted?
If I spend an hour on the phone counseling my best friend, and at the end of the conversation she feels better, isn't that an energy flow? Knowledge and feelings were shared. Ideas were offered. Emotions expressed and healed. That's energy.
(10-07-2010, 07:26 PM)unity100 Wrote: profit, therefore, becomes as such. it doesnt matter if you divide it into years, to decades. profit means, at the end of measurement period, you took more than you gave, from the other parties.
I don't dispute that. I am disputing only what you are counting. I suggest to you that intangibles such as feelings, emotions, knowledge, healing, etc. be counted. They are energy. They are exchanged. They have value. We are spiritual beings. We don't dwell only in 3D physical reality, so why wouldn't we count those intangibles when determining the flow?

There is truth in this. People's lives are much more complex. Rather than having more time, in some ways they have less time, are more stressed, and have many more worries about illnesses, etc.

This is the crux of the matter. I am curious why you believe their character cannot be changed. Can you share with us why you believe that? Is this based on a philosophy, book, your own experience, your own logical conclusions, or what?

This is true. I know many people whose lives are dominated by their physical illnesses and/or financial woes.

this doesnt need proving.
The key here is in the end. At what point is it the end?
I agree with your concept but, respectfully, I believe there is missing piece in your equation, because the factor of time is not taken into account.
If more time is allowed, the balance of energy might change or even reverse. What started out negative might end up positive.
