Hi anon/
And where does this confusion come from?
If EVIL and GOOD do not exist, then where does confusion come from?
Im only answering what you answered here...I did not read the whole text!

To have confusion in the mind, it has to come from somewhere?
If EVIL does not exist, then how does it form?

thanks for the reply helen.
the confusion occurs when we blame actions, thoughts, ideas, whatever, on some sort of influence or nasty devil (or angel).
most people would rather blame away things vs. stand up and saying i did this and i'll live with the consequences.
human nature is full of those nasty little traits and thats why most need a "quidebook" on how to live in harmony with the universe.

Well it seems many beliefs spawn from the original ones. Vedism and paganism are along the lines of those beliefs.

But whos to say that wisdom was not already in man and corrupted. They would not need a guidebook if they were not already corrupted would you say....

Many answers are within and so too does the body, mind and spirit work in unison.

Hi anon/

Now we are getting somewhere!
Ok, we tend to blame God did this, The devil made me do it and so forth...
So,here's my question....where did these thoughts originate from?
Who put them there?
Are we born to have these thoughts?
Are babies born to these traits?
How?
There's always a third person involved,believe me.
If not in person,then in our minds....who put those nasty thoughts in there, in the first place?
That's my question.

take care,

Hi verylowfre/

I agree with the plenty of rich may be good and poor may also be greedy!
As for the original post...Lust of money makes people deceitful?
Well,if you lust for something,you want it,you go after it no matter what?
True?
So, yes,I believe it makes a person deceitful and when one deceives one also will do anything to cover up their ways.

My thoughts.

good questions!

part of being carnal is the information we carry/pass in our dna. as a result, some of these traits we are born with, even so, most are taught.

i am responsible for the thought (even though i may or may not know myself well enough to realize that i created it).
could something help that thought process grow? absolutely.......but, ultimately, it's just little 'ole me.

i usually pass on these types of threads. i'm glad this one caught my eye.

I say, absolutely that money is the great corrupter. It creates deceipt, and other poor behaviors.

Let's get rid of it. This is possible now (see
www.abovetopsecret.com... for a description of how we could do this, as well as my book, linked in my sig).

If we got rid of money, casting off slavery to our machinery, we could create heaven on earth.

Ah quit ragging on the rich people. So what if some people want lots of money, need lots of it, can't seem to get enough. It's none of my business if someone else wants to have more than me. Maybe those that keep ragging on the rich people are the same as the rich, with the exception that they have no money, but want lots too. Mind your own business people. You want money, go for it, mimic the rich, follow in their footsteps, do what they did to get it, whatever.


Most these days were born to money. The really BIG money is inherited. How do you propose we go get born into money?

And it not "the rich," per se, that are being "ragged on." It is any who lie and defraud in order to ensure their own riches. Honestly made money is not the issue. Money made by creating "pandemics" so as to sell the toxic "vaccines," for example.

You, I suspect, have a very limited view of the Universe.

I couldn't care any less if others have more than me. If I want more, I'll go work for it and earn my own .. rather than covet those that have what I may want. This idea of ragging on the rich is bad, it's called coveting. You want something in life, go earn it yourself .. don't be trying to take what you want from others that have what you want. If your neighbor has a million apples and you don't but you would like a million apples too, plant your own apple trees, and stop ragging on your neighbor for growing more apple trees than you have.


Again, it's NOT that some "have more money." It's that so much of the fortunes have been made by stepping on others, lying and cheating. It is NOT "coveting." I do not covet nor begrudge the money made by honest endeavor. I begrudge the money made by scheming against humanity.

Coveting is so disgusting. Decide what will make you happy in life and go for it. Gawd, seems like the world is full of covetors these days. "Whaaa, I want what they got, make them give me some of what they got. Whaaa." Cry babies. Covetors. Grow up humons, grow up! I couldn't care any less if others have more than me. My happiness is not determined by comparing what I have to my neighbor. Some people seem to keep comparing themselves and their lives to the lives of others. Those that complain about those that have more than them seem to not be happy unless everyone else has less than they do. What if everyone was poor, would that make the covetors happy? Grow up earthlings, stop coveting, it's a sin!


Yep. This shows that you are ignorant of the many crimes against humanity that have been done (like starting wars and supplying both sides...) in the pursuit of money.

Call us "covetors" all you want. You lack the understanding of what is being said here.

Yes

Money = survival and I have seen in my 56 years of life perfectly nice people do very horrible things to acquire money.

The real question should be "Does power corrupt?"


Wealth = Power

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." - Lord Acton


Absolute Power typically refers to concepts of tyranny, corruption, authoritarianism, absolutism, and totalitarianism, and is associated largely with monarchy and non-democratic forms of government.

en.wikipedia.org...


What they say ...


Deuteronomy 8:17
And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

What they say ...


Matthew 28:18
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.



Luke 9:1
Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.



Luke 10:19
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.


Luke 10:19 - Origin of don't tread on me?



-----

What they hear ...


Deuteronomy 8:18
But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.

20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.

The stronger your faith in God the less likely you will fall in this trap. However I have seen it more in USA than any other country. This is the basics of economics. When you don't feel secure million of Dollars would mean nothing.

"America is a very deceitful place. It seems as if everything is a lie and everyone is a lier. Even those who have no money are deceitful, they are just not capable of hiding thier deceit, because they tend to be stupider."


Your own prejudices soil what might otherwise be a good bit of observation. In fact, greed and dishonesty infect every corner of humanity. Our history... one that predates America by thousands of years, show that the desire to gain material wealth breeds dishonesty and indeed, even murder. We covet those things we do not have and will jealously take what we can not acquire honestly.

Nations of all political slants, peoples of all religious backgrounds, cultures of otherwise noble backgrounds all harbor this in their populations.

The undeniable truth is that our species as a whole carries greed and envy as natural imperfections.
