Time is a method of calculating the distance between sequences of events. It is a measurement, nothing more, nothing less. The concept of time has been debated by theologians, philosophers and scientists for countless years and no one can agree on it. Time is a method, a tool to measure a dimension – that dimension being relative space between two or more events. All that aside, time is something we have grown to use as a means of understanding part of our relationship with shared reality. We use time to govern our interaction with the outside world. We use it to allocate ourselves to certain tasks, we use it manage ourselves. Due to us placing such great emphasis on time for this task, we have made it one of the most important elements of our shared reality. This has lead to the exposure of one particular kind of problem that faces us all. In a world now dominated by money, we have quite appropriately coined a term which holds more weight than many give it credit for…
Time = Money
In this day and age this is just as rhetorical as “Is the Pope a Catholic?”. Time equals money, and no doubt the first thing that enters many peoples minds is “Yeah but what about when I am not working, my time is my own then”. Well, that’s great, if it where true. Your “own” time is often governed with how you spend the money earned using your time. From here we need to consider looking at time as a currency, which is what it has become. We all have our allotted 24 hour bag of currency, and we take this bag with us everywhere we go and spend it as we are able. Time being used as currency has lead to the creation of one of societies darkest entities.
Vampires of time.
These are people, groups, companies, corporations or combinations of all that seek to further expand their bag of currency by taking as much as they can from someone else. This of course would be seen as work for which we are paid, so what is the problem? Well, ask yourself…what is your time worth? Apparently our bag of currency has its own exchange rate. We increase the value of our currency dependant on how useful our time is. The education system is seemingly the place where we increase our currency’s exchange rate. This “rat race” has lead to a saturation and subsequent diminishing of the education systems ability to further increase your currencies value. Have we forgotten that primarily education is there to educate ourselves, not increase our value to someone else.
We are pressured to work more, sleep less and in those times in between reinvest our currency by converting its value back into time so that we can work more. Consider this…
(Time) generates (Money) generates (Consumption) generates (Less Money) which generates the need for more (Time) to generate more (Money) generating more (Consumption)…..
Lets look more at the concept of a God of Money. He has but one Gospel, the gospel according the divine creature Me-Dia, [Me] A Sumerian divine decree governing relationship between the divine and humanity, [Dia] Latin for Goddess, denoting divinity. Within this Gospel we can find prophecy, insight into how the God of Money will impact on our lives, these prophecies are not always obvious, rarely direct and seek to deepen our understanding of this God through the language of Laicremmoc Gnisitrevda, but as is often the case with prophecy words can become reflections of their true meaning.
This Gods priests are multiple and manifest in this world. They are the vampires of time, who spread forth amongst us and cultivate what they can from our little bags of currency. They are the leech, the pickpockets of our assets, stripping us of what they can, devaluing our time at every opportunity and ensuring the God of Money is perpetually satiated.
Much like the pagans of the past during the dominating periods of Christianity we are doomed to fall into line and conform or hide our outcast lifestyles away from the masses. Problem is they chopped down all the trees, where are we going to hide?
