Exchange Enlightenment
Thursday 27 December was overcast and raining in the morning as we ventured out into London again. Today’s mission was to find the British Museum as the boys were keen to explore every inch of it. We navigated through the Tube, exited at Tottenham Court RoadWalked up great Russell Place and there it was swarming with thousands of people from all over the world – cacophony of accents and flavours.
Surprisingly it was free admittance - a nice bonus when we entered the Great Court. Starting with the Egyptians and then the Assyrians it took several hours before we even looked at the Roman and Greek rooms.
Since childhood, I have found it difficult to walk in antique shops. I feel nauseous and unable to breathe like something is choking me. Is this old energy that I am feeling – no idea – however I experienced this on a grand scale last year in the Vatican Museum. Today at the British Museum, it was much worse so I headed outside as quickly as possible to get some air. The boys were very enthusiastic about the Museum so after a quick lunch at a local café we went back inside.
Walking into the History of Money hall, I no longer felt ill however I had quite an epiphany instead. When we breathe our bodies convert Oxygen and use it in a variety of ways throughout our physical system. It is exchanged and this is a benefit from which the body can profit when it manages the oxygen and the body effectively using the RRRRR policy – reuse recycle etc.
Exchange is the basis of life. Fair Exchange is according to one perspective. Everything that happens in life is a commercial opportunity. If someone can effectively utilise a resource and get more out of it by investing time and energy into doing so, then this will be charged and sold on accordingly where needed or where it is perceived to be needed.
The knowing of oneself and one’s body and the Natural Laws and looking at life through the matrix of balance is the only effective way of managing the resource of life. If one does NOT manage one’s own resources then another external entity will – by the laws of Nature. Waste not Want not. A population of dependant people who look to external authority to take claim or accord blame will always be used for commercial exploitation for they set themselves up for that very thing simply by expectation that SOMEONE WILL FIX THIS OR MAKE IT HAPPEN. Governments and Religions are external reflections of our own physical systems – something that RUNS everything.
Money is a commercial enterprise that has been established and utilised for thousands of years for profit. Minting and distributing it is an expense that is added onto its value. This British Museum room more effectively details our modern financial system than I have ever witnessed. Once you delete the HAVES and the HAVE NOTS illusion and see money for what it REALLY is – just another unit of exchange – you gain much more control over it and can choose YOUR value. Ah controversy!!!!! (I can hear the comments now)
No longer feeling ill, I chose to sit in the Room of Enlightenment while the boys inspected the rest of the Museum. You know, symbols wise – London certainly provides much information. Lions are everywhere – on buildings, standing guard over doorways and gates.Gargoyles and reptiles surround them on rooves and over drainpipes. The boys are noting the symbols for each age – Twins (Romulus and Remus) for Gemini, Ram for Aries, Bull for Taurus, Fish (Jesus) for Pisces and beginning to question what happened in the previous ages and WHO made up the symbols. Then Niko decided that the Mayans were responsible for the Lion symbol that we see on EVERYTHING here. It will be interesting to research that and discover the basis of its origin and relevance of its symbolism.
The Room of Enlightenment spoke of classifying the world. Think about that! Who made up the classifications and the criteria for each? Looking at ages and civilisations room by room at a Museum like this is a brilliant example of how humanity creates its own destiny. Being in this place truly inspired the boys to ask questions – how come the Assyrians and Egyptians exhibited such incredible advancement thousands of years BEFORE the simple and naïve Celts and Europeans?
Those two rooms combined with the literally trillions of dollars worth of antiquities that the British STOLE from the Ancient World profoundly cleared my perspective of this matrix.
After the Enlightenment of the Museum, we visited Abbey Road and the boys reluctantly crossed the road on the zebra crossing for photographs. Paled into insignificance after the ancient worlds they had walked through hours earlier.
Then we made our way through the crazed shopping crowds on Oxford Street to go to the Odeon Marble Arch and see I AM LEGEND. It was very unsettling especially walking back through the thousands of people on Oxford Street and then being squished like sardines onto the Tube platform and then into the carriages. That bloody movie is haunting me and has brought a whole pile of fears to the surface I’m afraid. The opportunity for a deliberately created and publicly released air borne virus to be effective is all too evident here in such an abundantly populated small island. I’m not sure how London will cope with so many people visiting for the 2012 Olympics!
Being here in this city is not like being in Italy where one lives more in alignment with Nature. Living here is being fuelled by Enterprise Exchange that has been an industry of thousands of years. I still love London however feel rather nauseous and guarded and keeping vigilant about the forces in this matrix. There is much going on here.
