The Maya Express is the master craftsman of money manipulation. From the tables of Capital(ism) M to the Tables of War and Profiteering, the Maya Express does everything they can to manipulate us from getting on our Spiritual Path and they Love to use money as the deterrent.

When it’s profitable

“For the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10)

The glorification of Money is worse than the glorification of alcohol.
The glorification of alcohol only happens… when it’s profitable.

The glorification of Money is worse than the glorification of sex.
The glorification of sex only happens…. when it’s profitable.

The glorification of Money is worse than the glorification of violence.
The glorification of violence only happens…. when it’s profitable.

The Maya Express deploys many soldiers to help attract us to the money and its power as described in the Path of Mental Health.

We are inundated with the Gold and Glamour tables.

We can’t forget the rich kid who parent or parents were killed so they used their billions for “good” at the “Green Robin Iron Bat Revenge or Repent” Superhero Table.

Material Gain greater than Spiritual Gain.

“For the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10)

Why can’t we do things for our neighbors without needing financial gains.

Rather than helping the old lady at the neighboring table mow her lawn, you skip over her because she doesn’t pay enough.

You know the kids next door sometimes are sitting at their table alone, but rather not get involved and obligate yourself to babysit them. Their single parent works late and is too proud or too exhausted to even think of finding help, besides who would help for free?

Even if it was no extra effort. Can’t do anything for free. That isn’t the Maya Express Consumerism way. At least that’s what we are taught from the moment we are born.

Kids of Capitalism Table

“For the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10)

If loving money is so evil, then why do we inundate our children with it so early?

From girl scout cookie sales, boy scout popcorn, tooth fairies, Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, lemonade stands, mowing lawns, babysitting. On and on and on. Most children are started out in the world of money early on the Maya Express.

Once the Maya Express Capitalism digs in, it never lets go of our kids. The mere idea of any other solution strikes fear in almost every single person reading this.

How much are those Morals in the window?

“For the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10)

Instead, it goes a step farther. We apply monetary values in place of morals

Parent: “Don’t tell your other parent you saw me sneak that candy bar, here is $5, go buy yourself one”

Parent: “If you do good in class and get all A’s we will give you $10 an A.”
Child: “But what if I try my best and all I can get is B’s.”
Parent: “B’s okay $5 each but less than that *shrug* sorry. There is no way you could get worse and try your best, I always was good in that class. Less than B and you get grounded”
Child: *thinks to themself* “I try so hard, what other way is there?”

The kid thinks cheating is better than trying their best. Participation trophies be damned. We can’t reward kids for trying their best. Only if they win.

Money Brain: Hard work equals win, if they really tried there is no way people can fail. Just not possible….

As they get older the price tags go up, the moral risk increases.

“The Maya Express Grades for Gold Religious Charter School table”.
“How much for your vote says the school board politician at the paid for with cash not votes table?”
“How much for my kid to play on your college team, says the over controlling uncle/parent who happens to be the kids agent as well. “

In the biggest twist of irony on the Maya Express is the fact the very institutions that label themselves “higher learning” exploit through tuition and room and board billions from the same children they are receiving at the cusp of adulthood. Strapping them with debt or trade skills requiring unpaid apprenticeship or unreasonable license fees.

All the while blaming them for being a young naive person literally being exploited by their naivety. As such as it is taught at the Maya Express “Blame the victim” table it deploys everywhere. They say you have to go into debt or have a super hard life just to make a little money and have a good life in twenty to thirty years, if you are lucky.

Sharing isn’t Caring, its Bad

“For the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10)

Money has this illusion that because it resides somewhere it actually can grow. In fact, it’s a mythical number controlled by those who have the most of it. If it is growing for one person, then it’s disappearing for another.

What if we worked as a community more and relied less on the monetary efforts of everything and looked at the ethical and moral effort.

We are quick to praise the farmers discount from his over abundant crop; but when tax time comes after a drought season, we are letting the big businesses take the family farmland because we just care about getting our food cheap.

The most absurd is the thought that the amount of money shows your intelligence, morals, or strength.

A rich politician must be smart and knowledgeable in economics. Not lucky or immoral.
A rich priest must have holy connections to God to obtain such wealth.

The fake spiritual guides at the “Pastors for Pesos” table will convince you that giving your millions will get you into heaven.

But same guides have politicians paying them to tell you paying your share through taxes for everyone is then somehow shunned upon. They seem to think when given the choice people won’t horde things.

That is the mythical illusion of the Maya Express. Reality is people horde it from each other.

They think that it’s okay for a person to choose to horde if they want.

This same group would starve a group of 100 people because there is a chance that one or more of them may be getting it and didn’t “earn the right to eat”.

Spiritual Gain over Material Gain

“For the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10)

Whereas the group of Mental Health teaches the best approach is to feed a 100 people just in case one person could starve.

Do you take 3 slices of pizza instead of 2 because you think there isn’t enough for seconds and save some for yourself for later, or do you take 1 slice of pizza in case others could not get any this time.

In life there comes a time when you have to decide which Path to take.

The road that requires you to walk the walk of morality and Mental Health the true Path of Love; or the easier road that shows plenty of Love but to that of money and not Spiritual Growth.

Especially not your Spiritual Path.

They didn’t earn it.

“For the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10)

The anxiety of “how will I show my worth then?” or better yet “where will I live?”. We live in a world where a man can sleep without a home in a state that has 177,000 empty vacant homes.

Because somehow… they didn’t earn it.

We arrest the Hispanic man who was working and paying his taxes and deport him because get this; they say that the flag on a pole near his hospital when he was born was different than the one, we use here.

Because somehow… they didn’t earn it.

We have a restaurant throwing out thousands a night in uneaten food. Next to a car lot of cars never used. While a family of 5 starves in a broken-down van across the street. They can’t have the food or the vehicle.

Because somehow… they didn’t earn it.

Why can’t we give people help without exploiting their misery.

Let them earn it but without 35% interest or collateral that can’t exist.

Let them earn a meal at the restaurant for their family without a fraking government address.

Let them provide for their family without caring where the hell they were born

Society is built to first judge your worth based off how your parents earned their money while you were growing up or where they were born.

We don’t give any real equal opportunity for every child born to have the same education, the same health care, the same Love.

Because somehow… they didn’t earn it.

When does empathy, love, dignity and compassion come without earning it.

Can’t Take it With You

“For the love of money is the root of all evil” (1 Timothy 6:10)

The Money you earn today, stays on the train cart you are currently on, even if today is your last day on this train cart.

The money you Love does not carry on to your next train cart on the Maya Express. Only the Love for the Souls around you. Why spend your days Loving or teaching the Love of money when it’s the Souls around us that matter most.

When are we as a society going to see the illusion of money on the Maya Express is not the Path for us; and stop sending our children to sit at the tables of Greed and Gluttony before they can even spell the words.

If we all just worked together, we all could work less, with less stress.

But that requires trust.

We need to start building that trust together. That trust can start on this journey together and the next stop on our Path is the way I think is best way to gain that trust. The Path of Walking.

Yours Forever Grateful.

    Money the root of all evil. Money like everything else is a material object to attract more material objects.

    We operate within the confines of systems that have been in place thousands of years. Like wearing clothes. We choose what clothing to wear based on our environment. The same can be said about money.

    Money isn’t the problem. We are. Remember, it is what you choose to do with your money. The same rule applies to spirituality. Spirituality can rise you up or it can rip a person apart because a leader uses their position as “teacher” to take advantage of their students/community. People within a congregation reject a person because they do not believe the same as others. Jesus wanted his followers to believe in the father, not the false prophecy of man.

    A statement was made on a podcast that Hollywood only makes movies that are violent, etc. That’s not a true statement. It is what the majority chooses to watch because we are conditioned to watch certain programming that’s more like the reality of the material world-maya. There is a ton of “wholesome, positive” movies, shows. They are not hidden. But getting people to click on them is hard. Because? It is not the illusionary escape of what we call reality and they may not have the blockbuster movie star that the media deemed the best.

    Money is used for a lot of good. Evil as well. We as a society have to change the illusion of maya.
