Sphere of Influence, Are you in control ?

I’ve now been living without money for 27 months and in that time I have done many more things than I probably would have done in 7 years .  In fact that most of my experiences over the past 27 months  would have never happened if I had not decided to follow this path.

The same could be said for the rest of the world and society at large. I would like you to think for a few moments and visualise the world without money and how that will positively benefit us all.  How many things don’t happen because the dark forces of money prevent it.?

There are countless inventions, cures and brilliant world changing ideas that are missed or ignored simply because it is not financially viable. Imagine the leaps humanity could take if it were unhindered by our primitive ideals and monetary system. 

Just because the money isn’t there doesn’t mean that the resources aren’t.  In fact the resources are always here.  Money prevents things from happening and holds us back from the very resources we need.  If money no longer existed, it would mean we as a species, would go from strength to strength and the powers that be would have no stake and therefore no influence over us as they do now.

You have to realise that the political leaders, presidents and prime ministers alike are not in control in the way that most would like to believe.  Quite simply they are under control of big business (Busyness) either directly or indirectly.  Believe it or not multinationals have much more influence over your life than most would think.

You have heard of lobbying right?   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying Lobbying is a well known and widely accepted practice in the political sphere. Essentially  Lobbyists are wanting to influence the agenda of a political party to fit their own agenda, to maximise the likely hood of that bringing around a higher monetary yield, aka profit, and a profit which benefits a few at the top who own these corporations. Money and power are their only motivations.

So you can see that the people at the so called top who have all of this money are the ones who are in control of the game.  This is of course as long as people continue play their games.  Slowly but surely more and more people are deciding that the current way is not the way and they choose to go living off grid in an effort to starve the beast that is the big corps (corpse).   While this will help it will not do away with the archaic paradigm of having to work because of money.

While money exists there will always be a banker of some sort.  This banker will control the supply of money and therefore control your life.  Banking is probably one of the biggest business in the world  all under control of central banks (They are all businesses) these businesses all have their own agendas and can and do influence politics in a big way thus influencing ever more greatly, though less directly, your life. 

So imagine if you will, an unhindered existence where we have no need for a monetary system, an existence where we are free to create and produce magnificent world changing things that will assist our development as a species for the good of all.  I’m not talking about a utopia, though it would be nice.  I’m talking more of a place that took care of all and all took care of each other because we can, because it is right, and because we are more evolved than animals establishing an unnecessary pecking order.

 In my opinion, these oligarchs are nothing more than un-evolved apes holding a pack of matches and a stick 
of dynamite. It’s time we took the matches the matches and dynamite away from the apes and helped them evolve too.

DTW Transporting A Wooden Boat into Deep Pool

Enola - Boat Life in Dry Dock

Over the past few weeks I’ve been helping out on a boat restoration project down near Portsmouth.  

The boat itself is quite rare. Rare in so much that she is the last of her kind.  Built by a company called Thorneycroft (Now known as Vospa-Thorneycroft )1928 as a Gentleman’s Motor Yacht  for private owners. She was later requisitioned  during world war two and used as a naval river patrol vessel, mounted with a large gun on deck she would patrol the Thames and the Thames estuary  watching for the enemy. 

I don't know much else about the boats history, The current owners have a dream for her though.  To be fully renovated and made fully ready for Sailng once again.  This whole process should take around two years. 

 

I am only here for the short while due to unforeseen family commitments and  sooner or later the cabin I’m currently sleeping in will probably become uninhabitable as more and more of the boat is stripped  and the only place for me to stay here is in the cabin. 

Here are some pictures of the work that has been going on over the past few weeks

. 

This has been a team effort Mainly between me and Ade my host , ]

thought we have had some outside help on certain bits such as planking of the hull. 

We have been gradually stripping the interior including the walls and the flooring.  

Now the interior of the fore of the boat has been stripped Sanding down has been happening to prepare for painting of Damboline waterproof bilge paint.  The wooden beams are to be sanded down and either stained and or varnished  with the walls insulated and lined with wood cladding. 

 I depart  from here at the end of the month. I'm hoping to return at some point to come and help again.  Will be interesting to see the changes. I will be keeping an eye on the blog that has been set up for Enola to check for progress If you wish to do the same please follow this LINK to Enolas blog page. 

Thanks for looking 

Take care

My Intro on www.justfortheloveofit.org

Hi Folks,

I might have already introduced myself sometime back but can't really remember if I did or not so here goes.

 I have lived for over 2 years without using money. How ? I travel to places to help people complete projects or work. As I do this my needs are taken care of. My shelter food and all other things i need are generally provided for by those who I work with. I say I "work with" as i work for no one as such.

I embarked on this mission, in part to prove a point, the point being we can live without money it's only belief system that has been sold to us through centuries of "That's just the way it is" It's time for a new way to be, time to use our imaginations and think outside of the societal box we find ourselves in today.

 Imagine how mankind could progress if progress was not hindered by the monetary system. There are many great ideas out there but because they are deemed "Financially unviable" they are shelved or worse still binned. This is a case of insanity in my mind and we must start thinking differently as a species if we are to be a successful species.

 If things were valued for the use they have and not for a fictional accounting system and people were not used and valued for who they are we would find ourselves living in a much better world. No more poverty, all needs taken care of, all people free to do the good they wish to do unhindered. Just imagine !

Are We Dreaming or Doing ?

Hi Folks,

Yes it's been a while since I wrote in my blog and  there are a few  reasons, (not that i feel the need to justify the absence of posts to anyone). The main reason being  I have been busy doing what I do interacting and working with people to help them, in the hope that my moneyless lifestyle hits home with someone.  Maybe that's all it will take, the right person in the right place at the right time that will change our world to a better one. In the words of John Lennon, "They say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one"


The above statement is what brought me to write this post. It would seem more and more people and groups talking about moneyless societies. To name a few, The Moneyless Party, The Venus Project and UBUNTU Liberation Movement. Though these are all well and good,online, are they just dreaming or are they doing anything on the ground?

I am ever hopeful that this trend continues and as I said earlier maybe this will spark interest in the right mind at the right place and time.  I'm not against people spreading awareness online, however, without real ground level action and doing nothing other than talk, are we going to get anywhere? I doubt it. 

I am now on the look out for real, on the ground solutions to the monster that is capitalism and would look to joining them. I could go on forever as a lone person doing what I'm doing as I do it now.  Though I feel now that I need to get together with "like minds" (I say that loosely as no ones mind is quite like your own) to start to take real ground level action. 

Over the next few months I'll be busy with a Boat restoration project, after that I'll continue as I am until I find people that are and willing to go the mile and are taking real action with real solutions. I'm not talking about those who are wishing to replace the current monetary system with another. Nor am I looking to those who wish to go back to barter. Barter is where money came from and as Einstein rightly stated "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" so there would be no point to going back to a barter system, it wouldn't be fair and people would still suffer in this world because of it.

I don't have all the answers, I am just discovering the way and all I do know is if people were able and left to do what is truly in their hearts, not what the system has superimposed on them through media with the promises of a dream that is unatainable for most, then the world would become a much better place. 

Below are a few links to various organisations and groups should you wish to read more about moneyless society and how it could work. 

Please note, the views on the links are no necessarily reflective of  my own.  I have posted these links  to give a varied range of views on how a moneyless society could work.

The first two links are all about people who are really embracing a moneyless life.

My first ever radio interview. 

 

Goodbye & Hello 3 1st's

I recently moved on to my new host who invited me to come and help out with some DIY jobs over in England, so for now it is a goodbye to Wales and hello again to England.



The contrast couldn't be greater (Except for the current cold weather of course) The Land is flat mainly. I am staying in a 1950's prefabricated house. These where built to house people after the war I'm told and were only meant as a temporary accommodation. Its amazing how these where built to last for only ten years and over sixty years on they are still going. That's how things used to be built, to last!

Image for Illustration Purposes Only 1950's Prefab

 So far I have decorated one bedroom. There are a few bits and pieces like furniture to be painted to match once they are done I'll try to get pictures up. Next I think we will be tackling the hallway, stripping, filling, sanding and painting etc, followed by laying a floor.


 I'm enjoying my stay here and I have animal company too. 4 Chickens, 3 Dogs (one of which is a house guest), 3 Ferrets and a Cat. I had my first ever experience of walking a ferret on a lead yesterday, I happened to be walking the lazy one. He didn't want to walk and I ended up carrying him to the point where we came back, once he knew we were heading back he decided to walk. I think he just wanted to stay home.






Another first was had yesterday,I was at a birthday celebration and we had cheese fondue. it was seriously extremely cheesy. I was warned before of a Swedish tradition that if your bread falls off your stick into the cheese you have to pay for the wine. It was good that I didn't as I would probably have had to do the washing up instead.





I'm hoping to get to see some of my family, who I haven't seen for over a year now, whilst i'm in this part of the country. I plan to take a weekend off to go and see them in the coming weeks.

I am having issues getting pictures up due to my recent computer failure, so i'll try to update as and when I can. The pictures I have posted are just for illustration purposes.


And finally another first, I have been invited onto an internet radio show tomorrow Tue, April 2, 2013 07:00 pm http://www.blogtalkradio.com/universalawareness/2013/04/02/linda-in-conversation-with-spyke-who-lives-without-money-1 please tune in if you would like to listen.


Hope you all have an awesome day :)
