One of the biggest worries with laissez-faire capitalism is the almost inevitable development of monopolies. What is Creator’s perspective on this hazard of capitalism?

A student speculates that there are in fact two kinds of capitalism in conflict with each other: Entrepreneurial Capitalism versus Monopoly Capitalism. Society itself values entrepreneurial capitalism because it champions competition and encourages innovation. Society, on the other hand, suffers under monopolies as they tend to be anti-competitive and highly prone to engage in anti-competitive practices. Prices tend to go up, quality tends to go down, and workers are exploited as there is no competition for their labor. What is Creator’s perspective on these two proposed categories of capitalism?

The tendency for wealth and the ownership of resources to concentrate in fewer and fewer hands under laissez-faire capitalism presents perhaps the same concern that communism does—slavery of the worker and lower classes of society by a tiny elite class of individuals. Instead of the government, the company is the fully controlling entity. The excesses of company housing and the infamous company store are legion, and one of the realities that contributed to the popularity of Marxism. What is Creator’s perspective on the dangers of concentrated wealth?

Some have asserted that a fascist government, is one that has been co-opted by corporate elites, such that whole governments become de facto extensions of corporate empires, and serve the interest of the corporations over those of the people. Many fear that this is the precise fate that awaits the United States (and perhaps the world). What is Creator’s perspective on this?

Since extreme concentration of wealth and political power seems to be a common theme with the rise of monopolies and corporate fascism, as well as socialism and communism as extreme responses that only seem to end up with precisely the same reality of the few exercising control of the many, what is Creator’s advice on the best way to cope and maybe regulate this propensity? Understanding that healing and mass enlightenment are the ultimate answers, what would Creator suggest as a more interim divinely aligned strategy?

A company, by definition, has a number of contributors, and while arguably the creator and innovator of a company deserves the lion’s share of the rewards, a question some have pondered is whether there should be some kind of limit or sunset on how long this should be allowed to go on? So long as descendants of the founders can manage the corporate empire, the empire could exist indefinitely, along with the stark and extreme apportionment of the profits to the owners and owners’ descendants. What is Creator’s perspective on this observation?

Can Creator share how prayer work and the Lightworker Healing Protocol are the true solutions to creating future collective prosperity, rather than anything involving direct societal planning, organization, and especially coercion of desired behaviors?

Levittown, NY is widely recognized as the birthplace of modern American suburbia. Levittown was the birthplace of truly “planned” communities where every detail from roads and streets, sewers, property lines, and even schools, churches and shopping is all preplanned before the first shovel full of soil is turned. At its peak, a new home was being built every 16 minutes. Mostly unskilled labor was used, and each worker was trained to do one highly specific job that they applied house to house to house. What was the inspiration involved in this development that transformed American and eventually global living for millions of people?

One of the big complaints of living in the suburbs is the mind-numbing sameness and lack of diversity in architecture. Built with economies of scale in mind, and maximization of profits for the developers, simplicity of both design and materials was the rule. While this arguably made a modern lifestyle affordable for millions of people, it comes with a cost of existing in a kind of artificial conformity that seems less than truly divine. What is Creator’s perspective on this “cookie-cutter” approach to everyday living?

One thing that strikes the observer is how unnatural the suburbs are. In the vast majority of suburban developments, the land is cleared of vegetation ENTIRELY. Every last tree, every last shrub, and every last blade of natural grass is removed. In its place is the ubiquitous Kentucky Bluegrass ornamental lawn and evergreen shrubbery. What is the spiritual impact of living every day in such an artificial environment?

And what about those lawns? We learned that plants do experience fear. That suggests that lawns represent a great deal of regularly scheduled trauma for the mowed grass surrounding almost every suburban home. Does this have any discernable adverse effect on the humans who live in the midst of this regularly scheduled carnage?

Most indigenous peoples around the globe built simple dwellings that were more circular and curvy rather than squares and rectangles and hard corners. There is some belief that squared rooms and hard corners have deleterious and undesirable effects on the “energy” of the dwelling—that due to the harsh effect of hard 90 degree corners, energy cannot “flow” as it should, and becomes perturbed in ways that can actually be harmful to humans over time. Is this true? And if so, is the widespread use of straight lines and hard corners in modern construction a result of interloper manipulation?

While there are more similarities than differences in suburban communities, some subdivisions take conformity to an almost “absurd” level. The HOA or Homeowners’ Association, while like many things had an arguably benign beginning, has for some communities become something akin to Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia. Everything from not mowing your lawn on time, to having the wrong flower arrangement on your porch, to even flying the American flag, can bring truly shocking levels of backlash. How did this come about, and how did karma play a role in luring some hapless homeowners into these truly “American Dream” nightmares?

When we look at all of creation, we observe how much Creator values non-conformity. Every snowflake is unique, every grain of sand. Yet the dominant characteristic of the suburb is its stultifying conformity. One of the “outcomes” of suburban living is the widely observed phenomenon of “keeping up with the Joneses.” How much of this is repressed creativity wanting recognition, and how much is it a pursuit of power obsession that reveals the influence of the interlopers?

Another observed aspect of life in suburbia is how “lonely” it is. Even more so now than fifty years ago. People can live next door to each other, and almost NEVER even see each other. Lawn services have eliminated the need to be outside for landscape maintenance, and even garage door openers mean never having to use the front door or even be seen outside carrying groceries into the house. The days of borrowing a cup of sugar from your neighbor are all but over in most places now. Many people build their own swimming pools, and community pools have been suffering for years. Even within the house, kids are “blessed” with their own rooms, so they don’t even have to interact with their siblings and even parents that often. Can Creator comment on this?
