When the British plundered India for 200 years, carried away its ancient texts, and set its diverse groups against one another, they thought they’d taken or destroyed everything of value.

But now the West lies confused, in turmoil over its unsustainable capitalist trashbin of a societal trajectory. Housing and inflation are through the roof, as wages stagnate and mental health plummets.

This damages each of us in a unique way.

Particularly, it destroys any hope of building a relationship to money that’s genuinely healing.

And no, using up all your positive karma by following new age manifestation is not the solution. Because it doesn’t have s*** to say about manifesting a society worth living in.

External insanity will only lead to internal insanity.

Unless you’ve got the right tools. Which may come from what the colonialists conveniently ignored.

#1: Lakshmi: Wealth is a Goddess With Temperament.
