What purpose does money serve in your life?

Exploitation. Money is NOT simply a means of exchange! It is used in specific ways that I'll mention to control the people energetically, mentally, economically... First of all, money is not what we are mede to think it is. It is not equivalent to the shells or feathers or any of the very first forms of money as alternative to barter. Today money is a lie. It is created out of nowhere in accounts of banks and the powerful, which is the real cause of inflation. We no longer have ANY control over money as a tool. We are made to be slaves of something outside of our control. Moreover, money is a psychic tool with occult meaning, that "steals our soul" or rather our energetical potential, and transfers it to the controlling forces in this world. Money is a bad way to "balance the energy flow" as many like to think, because you cannot balance energy with something that is itself syphoning energy out of you and your system of balance! It is NOT a tool in the action-reward system, karma is, money isn't. Moreover, it is money and wealth, and well-being based on money, which is the main cause of suffering in our society. WE ARE MADE TO BELIEVE that money is necessary to live, even to survive! And people go mad, commit suicide, kill their brothers, suspect and exploit their kin, because they believe in the myth of money's necessity, because of a piece of paper or a digital bank number. You may say "but that piece of paper is equivalent to a car, food, shelter.." - it is not equivalent! It would be in the original form of money, not now. Now the banknote in your hand of say 20d is not 20d. You only have 1d or less, the rest is created and owned by some distanced elite. The money is not equivalent to the work you do for that money. Imagine a field of rice you own, and you want to buy a cow. Normally only a tenth of your yearly yeild would suffice, but with modern money if you want a cow you give half of your yeild away before you can give the necessary tenth to the cow seller. And he, in turn, only gets a little portion of it. And it's not taxes I am talking about. We don't need money for food. We can grow it. We don't need money for shelter - we can build it. And we certainly don't need money for happiness - we can feel it! But we are constantly under pressure by money as a tool of the system, nowadays an almost inevitable tool of the system.
