A Note on the Importance of Building Wealth

There are many wonderful people who cringe when we mention wealth creation and wealth building. This is understandable when so much of the money making activities around us are destructive to humanity and the earth.

This is why it is very important to make a clear distinction between making money and building wealth.

Wealth has to do with abundance. Nature is constantly building wealth. The trees, birds, deer, mountain lions, bumble bees, and earth worms are all part of building and feasting on abundant wealth. Being productive in their own self-interest automatically benefits the whole. There is a symbiotic relationship between individual prosperity and collective well being. For people, building real wealth is the same. It's about being productive in alignment with nature and the divine, and enjoying the fruits of our labor. Respectful of each other, respectful of the whole.

Money, on the other hand, is simply a tool. In the right hands, money can be used to build more wealth and a wonderful world. In other hands, it can be used to destroy wealth. As a matter of fact, whenever it is not used to build wealth, then it gets used to destroy wealth. There is no middle ground.

When people make money by destroying wealth, we all suffer, directly or indirectly. An economy that is based on making money by destroying wealth is what we at Solari call a "tapeworm economy" because it drains and eventually kills its host. We also call it a "negative return on investment economy" because from the point of view of the dolphins, trees and children, the net result is negative.

Left to its own devices, the central leadership of the tapeworm economy will grow more and more powerful, increasingly draining or destroying our families and community resources worldwide.

On the other hand, when people make money by building real wealth, we all benefit.

First, we benefit from living in a sustainable, beautiful environment where people and animals and plants can thrive - this is the natural byproduct of real wealth building.

Second, and even more importantly, we benefit from a weakened tapeworm -- this is a bonus byproduct of real wealth building, which actually shifts power and money out of tapeworm central.

The first is not possible without the second. To have a wonderful world, we must purge the tapeworm and build real wealth in our communities. To purge the tapeworm, we must weaken the tapeworm, and strengthen our local immunity. Unless and until we do both, we will all be increasingly at risk.

Fighting or confronting the tapeworm, filing lawsuits and signing petitions will not weaken it. We cannot count on Congress, the Supreme Court, the corporate media, or the White House to decrease or curtail its power. Sadly, all of our efforts to date to stop the tapeworm's destructive behavior have, if anything, only fueled the tapeworm. It is stronger and more voracious than ever.

And simply pulling out of the tapeworm economy will not decrease its power in the slightest - the tapeworm will keep centralizing and amassing political and economic power, with or without us, makes no difference.

The way to stop an army is to cut off its fuel supply. The way to cut off the tapeworm's fuel supply is to pull out of the tapeworm economy and earnestly turn to building wealth and political power in our respective communities and personal networks, worldwide. The tapeworm thrives on centralization and behind the scenes secret deals, so the initial thrust is to decentralize the power and wealth, and then grow it transparently, sustainably, and abundantly at the local level.

Since our global financial system is highly leveraged, if only 1% of 1% of our communities make this shift, it is enough to tip the scale so that all communities will be safe enough to purge the tapeworm and follow suit.

To transform our world, we must first transform how the money works, beginning in our own back yard, building up our own assets.

Building real wealth is not only wonderful, it is a critical point of leverage for shifting from a negative economy to a positive economy, from a negative world at risk to an abundant world at peace.

It stops the tapeworm and makes a wonderful environment where
children, trees and dolphins thrive."

I get it!

Well said - and I might add that cutting off fuel to the tapeworm is really not a difficult process. It is merely a choice. I hope to be among the 1% of the 1%.

Each "food item" taken from the tapeworm *directly* strengthens and empowers oneself.
