A practitioner asks: “Would humanity have had a monetary system if the interlopers had not invaded our world? Otherwise, how would we have traded with each other and built commerce (if even necessary), considering how tedious bartering is?” What is Creator’s perspective?

Monetary systems have been created a number of times in many varied human primitive societies. They always constitute a type of bartering because it is using a physical token of some kind in lieu of the actual goods and services being sought. So that would be experimented with again and again, and would likely arise. The question is whether it becomes a vehicle of evil influence. So it is the way in which money is utilized, more so than the existence of a monetary system, that has caused much human suffering and difficulty, and that is a consequence of alien corruption to undermine morality and a spiritual focus that is all-important.
