I wrote this on the train back from Luton Airport on Monday

An exchange of money for thought

Get paid/dont have to work a job that doesn't need to exist but in place of that the person gets trained and educated in mindfulness/consciousness/positive energy expulsion.

Society is now tangled in a web of keeping people busy and drunk and dizzy just so they don't rise up or be violent or unruly or change society too quickly. A new structure needs to be found but money still rules and too much leisure time has been shown to be unhelpful to a primitive thought process. So education needs to be exchanged for money. Positive thought will create solutions and working together with tolerance instead of arguments and violence

The idea being that if I had lots of money I would offer a living 'wage' to people who wanted to exchange their path of work to survive-numb themselves to work to survive-never explore other avenues due to having to work to survive-cycle.
Sounds a little like a cult, but here's the thing, people wouldn't 'have' to do it. People could choose to live within our current social structure but those who would be willing to explore other avenues would be given the chance. If they then didn't attend lectures/workshops/do work in their own time, funds would be withdrawn but reinstated if they then at a later date felt as if they would like to rejoin. There would be no grading system or judgement, they effort alone would be the work.

As someone that believes mind does indeed work over matter, that thoughts and conscious thought actually manifests itself into actual physical realities I feel that this is something that everyone should be offered. If a thousand people were all working towards a common goal (to educate, to think and to radiate positive calm energy) then this would have an actual impact on the world around them.
The beauty of the idea is that it is all just a self-exploration, not something that needs to then be conveyed to the outside world but that I believe would impact change in a positive way.

To fight systems is still fighting no matter how good the cause may seem to be. The first step is still a rebellion against something, but what I feel needs to be addressed is an alternative to this, something that begins from within and works itself to without.

People would still have choice, it would mainly have value as a social experiment, to see whether giving people a way out of an outdated restricted structure could actually help gradually (and it has to be gradual) change the way that people feel they need to exist to survive.

That thoughts can be exchanged for monetary value
