Are Rocks Life? Are Rocks as Important as Humans?

Rocks are a part of life, where would we be without rocks? Would we have solid ground to stand on? Are rocks not an important part of our ecosystem that supports us to exist here? Would it be stupid to not consider rocks as well as all life? Aren’t our physical forms dependent on a specific balance and constitution of nature, of which rocks are included?

Yet so many do not consider rocks a part of life, do not consider rocks as equally as valuable as anything else that is here that is supporting us to exist here. Humans are usually see as the most important life form on the entire planet – yet not considering everything that it takes to make it possible to even be a human being existing here. Is a life form which takes for granted the very things that it requires to exist, really that superior of a being?

Currently we’re taking just about every facet of this existence for granted, as one can plainly see from the way we’re treating this world and everything within it, including ourselves. We allow ourselves and everything in this world to be enslaved to a money system that seeks only to make profit and has no consideration for life, because we’re not considering life, and considering ourselves as life.

We’ve accepted ourselves as less than life. Because our lives seem so limited and insignificant, we’ve come to believe that’s all we are. And it’s within that belief that we’ve diminished ourselves.

The solution is here, and has always been here. It’s to stop taking ourselves for granted, stop giving in to justifications and excuses that this is all we are and ever can be. We’ve never even tried to really expand ourselves – we’ve given up before we’ve even started. We’ve become masters at the art of self sabotage.

We sabotage ourselves to the ultimate extent where we’re busy making this world uninhabitable by taking for granted the very things which we require to survive and thrive here. We’re contaminating our food and water and the total environment as a whole and utilizing the earth’s resources at a rate which cannot be sustained.

We’re causing our own destruction, but if you have a look, each and every human is busy trying to protect and ensure their own survival. As if the human can survive on its own. As an individual or as a whole – the human is totally dependent on what is here to survive. You can’t live without food, water, air, shelter – the basic things that nature provides – and if we abuse the process of nature to such an extent that it can no longer effectively operate to provide us with what is required to live, then we’ll die. So how ironic is that? That each and every human is geared toward their survival – yet we’re busy destroying that which we need to survive?

If we actually care that much about surviving, then we need to get busy considering what actually is keeping us alive here right now. Which is this planet and nature. Without these functioning properly and being utilized effectively, the human cannot exist. Thus the human is no better than the animals, nature, even rocks. Have a look around and see if there is any concrete nearby, there is probably some in your house somewhere, or a building nearby. What’s concrete made of? Crushed rocks. It’s used in many homes as an effective building material for humans to live in. The home I live in now is constructed mostly from concrete. And the very ground we walk on has rock as in its structure. It’s used within roads to transport goods and materials that we utilize. Some animals even require to eat small rocks to aid with their digestion, like chickens, and those animals play an important part in our food chain.

We all learn about in school the basic human needs of food, shelter, water, yet not how to care for them, what the current state of them is, how we’re currently utilizing them, whether we’re using the resources the earth provides in a way that is sustainable, and that reflects an understanding of the importance that nature plays in our very ability to exist here. We don’t learn to care for that which cares for us. And the result is that we don’t even realize or understand the part nature plays in our existence, or that it is being used in a way that our children may not have a world to live in, or even ourselves.

We need to get out of the survival complex within the current economic system, and consider what is actually necessary to survive, and realize that the way we’re currently existing is not leading to a life where all get what they need and where the environment is treated as equal to ourselves, since without it we wouldn’t and can’t exist. It’s leading to the very destruction of nature, and us with it. And it will not be pleasant or quick. There is an opportunity to stop and correct ourselves before it’s too late. And the first step is a new economic system that doesn’t force us into a survival game that keep s us too busy to consider anything other than our own momentary survival.

How will research be directed in an Equal Money System?

In the Equal Money System, research will be done from the starting point of actually being supportive to life. In the current profit-driven system, all research is conducted for the sake of making profits- if the research may not yield monetary profits, it is simply not done. In this current system, money is required to fund the research, therefore, no research is done in the benefit of the majority of people who have no money, as you cannot make a profit form them and they do not have any money to fund the research themselves.

Thus only corporations have become the ones that have enough money to fund research, and they fund research which is in the interest of the company/business- without consideration of life and only in consideration of making profits- as that is how a corporation has legally been designed to function- being required by law to act in the interest of it’s shareholders.

This is how we end up with research that for example in the medical industry, is not geared toward supporting the human in ending diseases, illnesses, and dependencies, but rather finding ways to ‘treat’ the diseases and such, because treatment over time makes profits.

This is but the tip of the iceberg, in terms of how our current system corrupts all research- such that despite our apparently advanced science and technology, so many suffer from perfectly treatable and preventable causes.

This will not happen in an Equal Money System, since there will be no profit- research will simply be done, by those who truly would like to do it, who have actual interest in a field and would like to actually contribute to the betterment of all life. The vast majority of research that’s done today, which is mostly research into pharmaceuticals or various marketing research, etc, no longer will be done- and we will be able to do actual research into this physical reality and how it works, which is quite vast, and we still have barely scratched the suface of understanding.

In the Equal Money System the real fun will begin and we’ll be able to do research that all life will benefit from- and science and technology can finally fulfill the promise it’s always given- to lead to better quality of living for all.
