The Meritary System
As we transition from the monetary to the meritary system, we will rethink what it means to be a member of a tribe. Rather than your income, you will be defined by your outcome. What are your desires? How do these desires contribute to society? How are others impacted positively by your actions?
The move to the meritary system will be signaled by a mass shift in consciousness. You will become aware that inner explorations are as vital to creation as your outer manifestations. That means the dreamer will find a place alongside the doer, will be held in equal esteem, and will be compensated (for lack of a better term) as generously.
In this way, spiritual growth will be accelerated, resolving the great mysteries of your science. There will be no conflict caused by financial hardship, for the “false god” will finally be banished.
But without financial exchange, or science as we know it, how will one measure worth? Suffice it to say, the answer will become evident once the transition has begun. First you must transcend the NEED for measurement, as this idea is causing a blockage in your potential.
One idea we might propose is that every citizen should give a public speech on the grand stage every ten years. This speech, delivered in the common language, will not only allow you to share your progress, it will become incentive for introspection for yourself and others. Introspection is the key to all movement and growth.
Smaller, more frequent circles are also encouraged. Indeed a return to the smaller tribes of your ancestors will teach you much about your true nature and your place within this reality. One need only look prior to the introduction of money for inspiration, for you were on the right path before this detour occurred.
It matters not, for you are returning to your true path once more, “richer” for the experience.

The envisioned shift from a monetary to a meritary system represents a profound transformation in societal values and structures, where the criteria for recognition and reward pivot from financial accumulation to the contributions one makes to the collective well-being. This paradigm shift prompts a reevaluation of individual and communal priorities, emphasizing the intrinsic worth of each person’s contributions, regardless of their economic implications.
Redefining Value and Contribution
In a meritary system, the emphasis on outcomes over income invites a holistic assessment of one’s impact on society. It encourages a reflection on personal desires and their alignment with societal advancement, fostering a culture where the positive effects of one’s actions on others are a key measure of success.
Holistic Assessment of Impact
The transition to such a system is predicated on a significant shift in consciousness, recognizing the equal importance of inner exploration and external achievement. This acknowledgment of the dreamer’s role alongside the doer elevates the value of creativity, imagination, and spiritual growth, suggesting a society where diverse contributions are equally esteemed and supported.
Elevating Inner Exploration and Creativity
The eradication of financial hardship and the relegation of monetary wealth to a “false god” status imply a society where conflict and inequality are significantly reduced. This scenario portrays a future where human potential is unleashed, unencumbered by economic constraints, and where the exploration of science and spirituality could merge to resolve longstanding mysteries.
Unleashing Human Potential Beyond Economic Constraints
The challenge of measuring worth without financial metrics or traditional scientific benchmarks invites innovative approaches to recognizing and celebrating contributions. The proposal of public speeches and smaller, introspective circles echoes ancient communal practices, emphasizing the value of sharing, reflection, and communal support in fostering growth and understanding.
Innovative Approaches to Recognition and Growth
This vision for a meritary system, while utopian, underscores a deep yearning for a return to values that prioritize human connection, personal growth, and the collective good over material accumulation. It challenges current paradigms and invites imaginative exploration of alternative ways of living and organizing society that could lead to a more harmonious and fulfilling existence.

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” – Mahatma Gandhi
In a world where worth is not weighed in gold,
Where the stories of souls are sung and told.
Here, the dreamer walks hand in hand with the doer,
In a dance of creation, both sower and sewer.
No longer bound by the chains of gain,
We find our riches in the rain.
In every act of love and care,
In every moment, we share.
So let us speak, let us listen, let us grow,
In the meritary light, we let our true colors show.
For in this shift, we find our part,
In the endless circle, the art of the heart.
We invite you to share your reflections on the concept of a meritary system and the shift in values it represents. How do you envision your contributions in such a society?
