How will a Living Income Support College Students?

Currently I am a finishing up a two-year degree at my local Community College. After starting slow in my education process, I have been a full-time student the last 3 semesters.

While I have been in school, I have also been working. Obviously one require money to support any kind of life in this world, to buy food, to live in a house, to live in an area with fresh, clean drinking water, to have clothes to buy, to have transportation - everything we currently use as a means to Life and Living costs money.

This includes education. My education is not free. It's quite expensive actually. And with finishing a two-year degree this spring, I have made the decision to stop for the moment, because financially, I cannot practically afford to continue with my education.

Obviously I could continue to take out student loans, which I have been doing to support myself to get my education. Yet at the rate of which I've accumulated and the cost of living where it's at, I see it would be more beneficial for me to stop the education process for the moment and get a job in the field in which my degree and the certificates I am completing, are in, which is accounting. I realize that if I am to continue to get my undergraduate degree, I will more likely get a better paying job in this field.

However - for a single person, independently supporting themselves financially, attempting to go to school as well, is a very difficult thing. To work and to Educate oneself in our current system is unreasonably expensive. Yes we can put ourselves into debt yet is this something that is best for ourselves?

I am 28 years old and in my early twenties, was ignorant to the debt system of our world and the consequences of taking out loans and charging credit cards. I am still paying back the debt I accumulated from the beginning of my twenties. With this and now the accumulated student debt, I am not eager to continue to go into debt trying to get an education. From my perspective, it would be best for me to enter my field with the certificates I have and work my way up then to continue putting myself into debt while I continue to get a higher degree.

Now I am not saying I do not want to finish my education - I very much would like to complete at least a bachelor's in my field of choice. Yet for the time being, it's best I do not continue to dig a deeper hole that accumulated debt is and to instead work with the debt I've already established, by getting a stable job that provides a stable income and work towards paying down my debts.

This is a classic scenario for many my age. If you do not come from money, if your parents are not able to help out financially, if you are unable to go through your classes at a full-time rate, the education process can be slow and costly. Almost impossible for one who is faced with the reality of our current economic system, alone, and realizes survival is the first priority. So when many work for a minimum wage or around that or have to have second jobs - the option to educate yourself to be able to get a better job that is more financially secure, the idea of being able to educate yourself seems hopeless.

I mean when survival is not guaranteed and debt is a certainty in life - what are we signing up for when we go into school? Are we ever guaranteed a job when we graduate to be able to start even paying back what we owe for the years we've been educating ourselves?

This is one reason why I support a Living Income Guarantee and see how this would change my Life as a current College Student.

With a Living Income Guarantee - one is giving the financial support to ensure all the survival necessities are in place. Money to have a home, to have food, to have clean water and to have proper health care and the ability to be educated.

I mean just from the one point of having a Living Income Guarantee while in school would take the pressure of the time requirement that is necessary for one to study and do well in school while also working to survive - this one point would remove the need to work so one can focus on doing the best in their studies to ensure they get the most out of their education. Yet with the Living Income Guarantee - one is able to educate themselves simply because this is a fundamental human right. ALL should be able to educate themselves, freely, as we all know that a healthy society consists of healthy individuals, and being educated allows for one to think critically, become more rational in their life decisions and thus more inclined to make choices that not only serve them but others as well.

I see how the last few years in my education process would be different if I was supported unconditionally with a Living Income. Yet that is not yet our reality. We will have to make the changes, see what we are supporting in this world, realize the common sense the Living Income represents and how not only will it serve people to educate themselves, but to also be able to Live. No more homelessness, no more poverty, no more ignorance in our world - we will make choices that are best for everyone involved, which includes ourselves and the first place we can start is to Stand in support of a Living Income Guarantee.

No one should fear furthering their education because of the lack of funding. Money should not be an obstacle for someone finding something they truly enjoy and wants to get further education and training in. We should be free to learn and expand and express and create while we are here on Earth - not in fear of survival and fear of debt and fear of working our whole lives without the ability to tap into our passions that would also support the betterment of All. When one is giving the opportunity to 'go for it' in terms of making themselves a more well-rounded, satisfied human being, when one is supported to be actually happy and stress-free, then we have individuals within a society that no more exist in conflict or friction in their life - no more aggression towards others without understanding the real reason. A living income is what we need in this world - a support foundation that allows all the opportunity with the ability to better themselves, and most simplistically, to live.

Investigate Equal Life Foundation and the Living Income Guarantee - it's time we take responsibility for what we have as our current economic system that does not make any sense when it comes to actually Living on Earth - it's time we redefine the rules of our Existence and say ALL have the right to Live in Dignity and to pursue their passion and enjoyment yet first we must ensure all are able to survive. We must do that equally for all. Those that currently cannot, because of our Money System - then we Change it. We give to others what we would like to receive and we do not accept anything less of ourselves.

Be a part of the solution. Investigate - Educate - Take a Stand. We have this one life, is the one purpose to make money? Or to discover who we are, the skills we have, how to interact and relate with each other - to better ourselves and thus the betterment of All?

I am a Student and I support a Living Income Guarantee.

The Rights of the Children

When a child is born into this world... are their basic human rights provided to them? Are they ensured that they will be cared for properly? Are they ensured that they will have a home, health care, food and parents that are in a position to effectively support them in growing up in our world? Some yes - those with Money; money is currently the determining factor of what kind of life you live and whether you have access to any form of human rights. However, many no - because many within our world are not guaranteed money, and thus are not guaranteed access to basic human rights. Actually - no one is guaranteed basic human rights. We might think we are, and even the United Nations have so graciously placed words on a document saying that each and every human being does in fact have 'inalienable' rights as a human - that are the basic requirements in order to live a decent life on Earth. But is this guaranteed? No because money is what buys us that, and again, not all have access to enough in order to actually provide it for themselves. Basic Human rights are implied to be given freely, to All, as an understanding of what is required to survive in this world, and yet - this is not given.

The only guarantee that we have is if we make enough money, then we can buy ourselves the comforts that shelter us from a World that does not support any one's Basic Right to Life.

And children are victims in our World and this acceptance.

Children are born into a world where the parents have no clue how to raise them, as they were raised by the generation before who had no clue how to raise them, and before them the same and so a pattern has been repeated throughout time, as parents are simply the product of a world that does not actually care enough to Live the Words it speaks or writes - as we have the words placed - we see what is necessary for a Human to be able to Live and yet it is not implemented. It is not enforced. It is simply there, in the background without action. And thus parents are teaching, as they have been taught, to not ask any questions and simply accept our World to be the way it is - where some are fortunate and others are not.

Do we have any right to bring a Child into this world? While so many children that are here are not being provided their basic human rights? Isn't it our responsibility to ensure that ALL humans are given their rights to life - actually their ABILITY to live - should we not first ensure this is a reality for all before we continue to bring children into this world that does not prove that it can support them?

Obviously children are going to be born into this world - we will not stop that, however then we MUST consider preparing a reality that is best for them. Surely that is what we would like for ourselves? I mean, have we stood in the shoes of the children? Wouldn't we want to be supported with proper health, diet, a family unit that can create a stable human and not an emotional, self interested consumer that continues to not care about this world? Wouldn't we like to be able to be educated? Wouldn't we like the opportunity to express and explore what this real world - the natural world, has to offer? Wouldn't we like to be able to take care of ourselves? Wouldn't we like to be able to live a fulfilling life where ALL our basic rights as a human are met and provided for? Surely we would - so why are we not ensuring that this is a reality? Why do we think we can continue to ignore the fundamental problem of our society - that no human rights are being offered or given and millions of children are continued to be allowed within this world without assuring any kind of safety or future for them. In fact - the future we are currently creating for the children to come is of misery.

Time to become responsible and get out of the 'now' of what is right in our immediate attention and consider the consequences of our lack of action. What kind of future are we possibly creating from where we are currently standing? It is clear, one that is NOT best for our children, or for ourselves and each other.

Investigate the Equal Life Foundation as an Organization actually providing a solution to our World and the Problem that we currently face - Children without Basic Human Rights. Become an advocate for Life and give your Life to ensure we leave a place worthy for the Children to come. Stand in the shoes and realize you would want this for yourself.

Human Rights for Children by Bernard Poolman:

How can World Hunger exist when we Produce enough Food?

Currently, 2 out of 7 people on this planet are going hungry. That means 2 out of 7 people on this planet go without proper food and nutrition. Food is a requirement for survival, as it is for majority of the other species on this planet. Without food, the body becomes weak, withers away and dies. We currently produce food to sustain 12 billion people on this planet. That is almost twice as many people that are actually here, so why do some not have access to this food? There are many theories based on why people in this world go hungry, yet are any justifiable? The withholding of a proper food source to any human being on this planet is so transparently murder. Without food we die; there is enough food to feed everyone, and so I would suggest greed has taken hold and we have created ourselves to be murderers. Some might gasp at the comparison, yet isn’t it obvious? There is no knife we throw or gun we shoot, but not giving food to a person leads to starvation; to death – a death that is so easily preventable. As our economic system caters to the wealthy and justifies why some might have to starve, the only solution is to remove the power in which we have given to money. If money is the resource we require to sustain our survival, then money is a basic human right and all are entitled to it. World hunger would be eradicated with a system of equality; where all have equal access to the resources that Earth provides, including food.  So what is stopping us? What excuses are we still allowing?

The Existence of Guns

It seems school shootings - gun use to kill other humans is becoming more and more common. Anyone else wondering or questioning what the hell is going on here?

Have we stopped and asked ourselves, "hmm.. people, and CHILDREN are becoming more and more commonly victims of gun violence... perhaps we should be re-evaluating how and why this is continuing to happen!?!"

Anyone... anyone...?

In conversation with another about the most recent atrocity that took place in Connecticut - where 20 children fell victim to the mental instability of another and the consequences of our current state of humanity, certain questions arose within me.

Like what the fuck is the point of Guns?

Why do guns even exist? First thing is that it is used as protection... so what are we protecting ourselves from? WHO are we protecting ourselves from, and why have we created, accepted and allowed ourselves to exist within a world where we need protection? Would Guns exist if we lived in a world where survival does not have to be bought and paid for - but given freely to all?

Do guns exist because we enjoy the sport of killing another life form? Is the purpose of Guns merely for entertainment... the entertainment of shooting and killing life? Is this what we accept as a normal way of entertaining ourselves? "Hey Bob.. I'm bored, what do you want to do today? Oh I know... let's go out and kill other species just for the hell of it, because it's FUN!!"

Do we use guns to feed ourselves? Do we really, at this stage of technological advancements require to shoot something in order to feed ourselves? Doesn't that seems like we are living in the past, and have not actually evolved, as we are still primitively hunting and killing an animal so that we can eat? And we call ourselves a superior species... obviously using guns to feed ourselves is not effective, when we have failed to feed our population, as the 1 out of 7 people dying from starvation reveal.

Do we use guns to feel powerful and superior and strong? Do we require guns to assert ourselves as a species? Proof that we are untouchable because we have a weapon in our hands that can kill anything that moves?

What are we protecting in our "right to bare arms?" What could we possible be defending with the argument of using such a thing that humans can deliberately use to kill another?... when we have proven more times then necessary throughout our existence, currently... WE CANNOT BE TRUSTED.

Perhaps it's time for us as a species to start questioning ourselves and the things we use in our Life - like Guns. When the existence of Guns and the lack of responsibility Humanity has shown to create and support STABLE human beings in this world is evident... then it's time we become humble and STOP.

After 20 years of a slow but surely increase of public shootings... to the point where children in 1st grade are now victims of our ineffectiveness to care for life, you would think we would take a real, long, hard look at ourselves and what this world in it's entire manifestation is showing to us. That we have fucked up - and it's time to start taking responsibility.

No child should have to die for us to have to realize we must stop and change our ways. And yet - every 5 seconds a child does die. From preventable causes. We have not only failed as Humanity in our creation and allowed existences of Guns - we have failed to give the most basic right to Life to All.

In an Equal Money System - not only will ALL life be honored with the ability to survive with it's most basic requirements here on Earth... we will also be in a position to actually become self reflective and begin our process of self correction. To place EVERYTHING that is here within questioning.. and ask ourselves, Is this Best for All? Is the Existence of Guns Best for All?

If we no longer have to protect our sense of survival - would we need guns?

If we are supported to express and live and not just survive - would we need guns?

If we were not so utterly bored with this current accepted way of "life" - would we need guns?

If we were acting in self honesty and truly a manifestation of Humanity - would we need guns?

Investigate the Solution to ALL accepted forms of abuse in this world - Investigate Equal Money. Dare to Question what we are currently having to face as our Manifested Consequences and dare to see if we can actually create a World where we can start Living Humane.

Investigate Desteni and DIP Lite - to start sorting out the violence and abuse of our secret mind that direct us to live out the daily neglect of Life our World is currently reflecting to us.

1 Person Starves = Humans have Failed

Currently I am taking an Environmental Science course. Within this course, we are learning about the basic understandings of different Environmental Sciences, such as Ecology, Sociology, and Economics. While it's an interesting class and am appreciating the course - there is one thing... one statement my Professor keeps making... and I just want to correct him every time.

While discussing the topic of Human Population and food production, he always claims, "we produce enough food to feed the human population, yet we do not distribute it Equally" then he will go on to say, "this is about our Economics," he will further add, "even with more humans on the planet today then 150 years ago, we are doing a better job now feeding people then we were."

And... what is your point? Have we forgotten that despite what "progress" we believe we have made, Humans are STILL STARVING. And the point of there being less starving people today then there was 150 years ago is not even a point to be made, because people are still starving. The fact that even ONE child - ONE human being is denied food, that WE are producing for ALL to be able to eat - the fact that one person is denied nourishment - we have not evolved, we have not made any progress and we have not got a clue. If there is enough food to feed everyone... why are people starving? Yes - because of our Economic System. Because of the way we are distributing the resources of this Earth, which by the way, is GIVEN freely.

What are we waiting for? To be the ONE person that is still starving? Then perhaps will we care enough to hear... care enough to make the change? That is where we have failed... failed to stand in the shoes of ALL being in this world, and realize... we would not like to be the the ones on the other side, the ones that are still being shit on by our accepted unequal distributions of resources. Time to Stop. Time to Stand Equal.

So what are we missing? Our Money God as Profit being accepted as more valuable than LIFE itself.

How do we fix this? Simple - take the one resource we have deemed "almighty" and give to ALL Equally! Equal Money = Equal Distribution of Resources.

Wow - what a simple solution!

This is not to talk shit about my professor, don't get me wrong. I just wanted to share this most simple point, if we have the power to CHANGE this world, and yet suffering still exists - then we cannot claim to have evolved as a species. We cannot claim to be a superior species. We have in fact failed at our ability and potential to actually Live in caring for All life that is here, as this Earth, as ourselves.

So - let's stop patting ourselves on the back for a job we have not yet completed. Time to take responsibility in implementing the SOLUTION that is already here. Stop World Hunger. Stop Poverty. Stop unnecessary death. Be One Vote for an Equal Money System and let's once and for All Live as the advanced Species we so righteously claim. Time to make it Real.

Check out the Equal Money site and cast your vote on policies that we are busy walking a process to implementing. Be a part of the Money Revolution, where we are no longer serving the Money God as our profit, I mean prophet that we so blindly follow, and start realizing we already have the solution to change this world into What is Best for ALL!

2012: The Living Word made Real with Equal Money

I have heard many people, "Christians", claim the Living Word is the Bible.. because in that book LIES the words of Jesus and the story of his time on Earth and those that followed him. What's interesting is that...

When you Look at what Jesus Spoke - the Words he expressed and the overall Message he shared was, "Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself" and "GIVE to Another what You would like to Receive".. and so within these words he spoke exists Equality... how else can you love your neighbor as yourself or give to another what you would like to receive.. without seeing them as equals. The only reason we do not live these words is Because we do not see ourselves as Equals - we see ourselves as threats, we do not trust each other as we do not trust ourselves. And so there exists no Equality or Oneness.

So what is the Living Word in Fact? Equality and Oneness... this is what Jesus spoke, this is what he LIVED and thus he was the Living Word, as an example for us all... Live the Words as who you are, who you Really are. Words in a book are not Living - they are expressed in a Life as each being. We speak and communicate, and what does this world look like? Separation, inequality, starvation, rape, murder, blame, competition... etc, and so these are the Words we Live.

What was Jesus's Message? BE the LIVING WORD of Equality and Oneness - Give to another what you would Like to Receive, See each other as your Equal and Love them as you would have them Love you... This is the Living Word of Equality and Oneness. In the Bible we can see the words we currently live as it is Manifested in the Whole World, while is true message of Equality and Oneness get's swept to the side.

The Real Living Word of this World was given as example in the Way Jesus LIVED: expressing himself as all as One as Equal - giving to All equally, seeing All Equally. We do not currently Live this, as we accept something 'higher and greater' to be in control of this world, when Jesus said, the Kingdom of Heaven is within You - thus Become Responsible for yourself in THIS WORLD, and create a World that is Best for All = where we become the LIving Words that is Best for All - Equality and Oneness. We do this with an Equal Money System.

So Love, and compassion and caring does not exist.. we do not actually live these words because we do not support All life to actually Live Here. Until we have an Equal Money System in place, we wont. And so it is our mission to walk this into reality, as ourselves. Living the Words of Equality and Oneness through implementing such a Solution for All. "Give to another what you would like to Recieve" = Give to ALL the ability to be supported here to Live, to express, to get to know who we really are without the fear of survival... this is the Living Word of Jesus.

Investigate an Equal Money System if you claim to be a follower of Jesus and his message - and this is his message Returned after 2000 Years. Live Equality and Oneness as who you are Equal and One with All and Give All Life... Create and Equal Money System.

Equal Money is Nice - but it will never Happen

At first Glance - many see 'Equal Money' and automatically accept the thought in the Mind, "This will never work. Not All will agree", "what about the rich - they will not give up their power... you cannot change the system. We have always existed this way - the system will never change." "Stop trying to change the system - just Live your Life until you die"

It's like we as humanity cannot fathom at all how we can actually create such a system. And just accept this idea..."It will never happen"

Or people will say, "It's a nice idea... but I don't agree with all of it" - People compare it to communism or socialism and accept the beliefs about these kinds of systems that has been programmed through their country as 'bad'

We don't give ourselves even an ounce of realization that this System is what is best for all.. and if All would open their minds and their eyes to what is currently here as this world, we can see - Equal Money is THE Solution!

Instead of reacting to Equal Money as being "impossible" - see how you can create this. Ask questions, join the forum, vote on the site, investigate, research.... do anything you can see see/realize/understand how the Equal Money System is actually Best for All ( BEST FOR YOU ) and dedicate your LIfe to bringing this System about for All. Realizing that it will Change EVERYTHING that we currently accept as the expression of Life within Humanity.

Instead of accepting the beliefs that 'it will never change' - get up, stand up and Make the change. Don't let believes in your Mind tell you to give up before you have even started. The Equal Money System is just an idea until Real People Take the Challenge to Actually Create this. Yet we will get no one if we continue to believe 'it will never work'

What option do we have? To simply forget about a creating a System that is Best for all and continue our struggle to survive while some have the luxury of living heaven on earth with all the money - and while even more are suffering at the hands of this system we don't dare to change?

There is no choice - We have to create this as our Reality - because if we don't, who will? And can we wait for this person? No - we can see how giving our power away to those is positions to change policy does not actually create real change in this world - thus, let's BE THE CHANGE. Taking back the power within our own hands to get our asses in gear. The time is Here - Life is Calling.

Join the Equal Money RealLove-Solution - where we are ensuring that we are the One's to get our butts within positions in this World that then Decide the create/change the System into that which is Best for All = EQUAL MONEY
