So gorgeous!

Developed a graphic that frames the topics in my upcoming writing.

The monetary economy uses the cost and availability of our basic needs to control how we spend our time. As a result, we have less time to take part in the core economy.

Furthermore, the measures of value differ with each economic system. The monetary economy pays us money for performance on the job. The core economy acknowledges us for playing many roles.

Both permit one to leverage one’s time, but not in the same way. And the differences matter.

More later…

Quoted

… Today in Persia and the Orient you will find the followers of Bahá’u’lláh united in the closest ties of fellowship and love. They have abandoned religious prejudices and have become as one family. When you enter their meetings, you will find Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Jews and representatives of other beliefs present, all conjoined in a wonderful unity without a trace of bigotry or fanaticism, and the light of the oneness of the world of humanity reflected in their faces. Day by day they are advancing, manifesting greater and still greater love for each other. Their faith is fixed upon the unification of mankind, and their highest purpose is the oneness of religious belief. They proclaim to all humanity the sheltering mercy and infinite grace of God. They teach the reconciliation of religion with science and reason. They show forth in words and deeds the reality of love for all mankind as the servants of one God and the recipients of His universal bounty. These are their thoughts, their beliefs, their guiding principles, their religion. No trace of religious, racial, patriotic or political prejudice can be found among them, for they are real servants of God and obedient to His will and command. 1
