Nature's Wisdom: Kristen Regasin on Abundance and Spiritual Wealth

The world always, you know, when money first started, really women in families, in tribes, would divvy up the resources amongst the families. And even before people would leave themselves into debt, if they went to repay a debt, they would pay a little bit less or a little bit more. They would never pay the quote unquote right amount because they were always leaving each other in debt to one another because we are connected that way. And we can never really repay each other because we can't have a life without each other. And so there are corporations that are beginning to extend tokens or dollars representing a certain amount of their own services. And that's coming. In Brazil, there are companies who have started to issue dollars backed by soybeans. And of course, we have many people doing gold and silver. There are, I know of several smaller towns where the producers in the towns are issuing certificates backed by cement or rubber or farm product. So it really could be all the things that people barter, but it must be monetized. People always say to me, do you mean that we're going to go back to a barter system? Or especially when I talked about this pre-crypto, I talked about it in 2007. Bitcoin had not arrived yet. And I would say, no, no, no, we barter all the time already. It's just that when we create the dollar from someone's mortgage debt, it doesn't function properly as the prototype of a money because money must be issued as a credit of productivity, not as a debt of consumption.
