Yes we can if:
- We stop being selfish, stop harming each other and stop using and exploiting each other for our own selfish gain.
- We realize that the entire world is one family and we begin to treat each other as family - we become genuinely concerned for each other's welfare and well-being.
- We connect with each other in mutual concern and responsibility, seeking to benefit each other instead of ourselves.
- We use the connection between us as currency, the currency of connection. We take care of each other and become guarantors for one another - I guarantee that I'll look after you and you guarantee that you'll look after me.
- We realize that we're a part of nature - we're not above nature. Nature is an integral system and we integrate with this system and live an integral life. We become interconnected and interdependent with each other and we reach harmony and balance with all of nature.
- We focus only on meeting our basic needs: food, water, clothing, shelter, healthcare, education etc. All other goods and services disappear because they become unnecessary in our integral life.
- Everyone contributes to society according to his/her ability and potential and is rewarded by society according to the value of his/her contribution to society. In this way, everything becomes FREE because everyone seeks to benefit others.
- If our internal qualities changes from selfishness to bestowal, we become connected with each other in mutual responsibility and we become connected to God in quality. We become God's people, as it is written, "And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation." (Exodus 19:6, NKJV) Love replaces money.
