While I don't feel your pain, I do appreciate that you're feeling pain and why that is so. I fully agree with LeeAnn and a change of thinking is the only way forward.

Many people today put a lot of faith in science. And through science (Quantum), we now know that there's no physical matter, per se. Or to be accurate, the existance of matter has not been scientifically proven. In other words, our world is real, but it's not really real in a physical sense.

Science has reached the same understanding that many people, throughout history, discovered for themselves. They didn't necessarily use or need science in order to know deeply in their being, that their understanding of the nature of reality was/is correct. Look at these quotes for example:

"What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow. Our life is the creation of our mind." Buddha - 563 BCE - 483 BCE

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." Albert Einstein - 1879 – 1955

"If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within; secondary reality without." Eckhart Tolle - 1948 - Present

"A wise man, recognizing that the world is but an illusion, does not act as if it is real, so he escapes the suffering." Buddha - 563 BCE - 483 BCE*

I have no reason to disbelieve quantum physicists, the Buddha and many other's who've discovered the true nature of reality. And perhaps more importantly, what they're saying and what they've discovered feels right to me.

Now through awareness and discernment, I see and understand what's been said. Furthermore, I see that there're many paths to truth and therefore won't interfere or make another's path wrong, ever. In other words, Buddha saw truth from inquiring into his own mind and science used a different approach to reach the same understanding, that there's 'Nothing' out there because it's all in your mind.

Look, this is real, this is physics not some wild fantasy or philosophy from one individual's mind. Many have seen this throughout history, it's certainly nothing new, it's actually just how it is, how it works, and how it's always been.

Why do we have to pay for living on the planet we were born on?

Currently we have to pay because, somewhere along the road, we bought into the collective consciouness's belief that that's how reality is. Now we're beginning to see that it's only one way, one way out of an infinite number of possible ways or probable ways that we, both individually and collectively choose to believe in and hence, experience.

Knowing that we create our own reality, means we can effortlessly, not through any kind of hard work, choose and summon anything we want, including money, into our lives and live the life of our dreams.

So to change the outward reflection of our world, a change of mind is all that's necessary. In other words, using our mind to focus on how we want our world to be and ignoring all that we don't want, naturally brings our desired change about. It's the law of the nature of reality.

Have fun and enjoy the creations that you have chosen to experience :-)

some would say it comes with the growing pains of our stage in evolution and until mankind realizes his thoughts and actions have consequences for all life, we find ourselves as entitled individuals under a government. and to date those who govern are exacting taxes for what ever reason they believe necessary or what we have voted for. i don't think this will change in our current lifetime, but history does show we are moving in a direction of universality.

It's not a very natural system of things, Herzmeister, for most people these days, you are right.

But you wrote, "We should also forbid the rich to "possess" disproportional large masses of land, because Earth is necessary for our survival and thus must be seen as something divine."

That seems like a limiting belief. For example, if I were to start a company selling a product that helps all of mankind, and in the process I earn a lot of money, should there be limits on what I can earn and how much land I can purchase? If so, where is my incentive to want to earn more (and pay my taxes, which helps everyone?) And should it be just as easy to have land if you are lazy and contribute nothing at all to society, as it is to have land if you work hard?

I am never jealous of what others can manage to possess and I never feel limited about the potential of what I can possess. There is plenty of earth and resources to go around. Man badly manages it sometimes, but that can change.

My idea is that it will take a change in thinking to really change the world. This is an interesting question.

This answer has to start from the beginning of humanity when tribes claimed land freely as you say and other tribes came and killed those tribes for the land and the resources.

(That is interesting even though it is ancient history it seems so familiar in today's world)

Then as the race started becoming more civilized and erecting buildings and forming kingdoms the sense of property changed from my land to this is my village I live in it is walled in for protection. The king's guards keep me and my property protected and all for the price of my taxes I pay. Eventually this changed from small kingdoms to bigger and bigger until it became countries and one ruler elected by the whole country, this ruler has again armies to protect the people that live in his country all the way from the top down to the local town protection the police.

Now if we take that all away and say you can live here for free but don't expect any protection any roads any form of government or rights because you are not paying into the system so you are not part of the system, I wonder how long you would last before someone else that wants your land kills you off for it.

It just doesn't seem it could work without some form of compensation, now here is a workable solution, raise sales tax and eliminate property tax, that way when you OWN property you really do OWN property. It can never be taken away from you because you couldn't afford the taxes on it.

If we go back in time, I believe lets say Babylon for example since I can't think of ancient villages right now. You paid taxes to live there, there was a tax collector that everyone hated much like today but more brutal actually. Now I believe (but I could be wrong on this) people that didn't want to pay tax were free to leave the village, go off and find their own property and fend for themselves. Fight off the wild animals and thieves themselves, try to find their own food since they can not go the market since they don't live in the village. I do not believe their rate of survival would be much high though.

The point I am trying to make it seems civilization needs some form of compensation to be viable.

well not every one would want to be farmer some would hunt or fish! but the fact is we could make it that every thing is free but you need to work a minimum of time and if you want more you work more! because if everything was free some would not want to work and do there share! then some people would work for the rest of the world as slave with no pay! in that case it would not be better! that is what i think of it! maybe one day we will evolve on earth to solve that!
