Dear Friends,
Allah'u'Abha!
In the document "Who Is Writing the Future? Reflections on the Twentieth Century" a phrase was found that inspired this reader to become a writer and to document personal reflections on the subject of "a single world currency operating largely through electronic impulses" ... the complete passage, which gives tremendous hope for the "decades immediately ahead", reads
"Such advances in science and technology were reciprocal in their effects. Grains of sand--the most humble and ostensibly worthless of materials--metamorphosed into silicon wafers and optically pure glass, making possible the creation of worldwide communications networks. This, together with the deployment of ever more sophisticated satellite systems, has begun providing access to the accumulated knowledge of the entire human race for people everywhere, without distinction. It is apparent that the decades immediately ahead will see the integration of telephone, television, and computer technologies into a single, unified system of communication and information, whose inexpensive appliances will be available on a mass scale. It would be difficult to exaggerate the psychological and social impact of the anticipated replacement of the jumble of existing monetary systems--for many, the ultimate fortress of nationalist pride--by a single world currency operating largely through electronic impulses."

the above mentioned article actually concludes with this passage
"However great the turmoil, the period into which humanity is moving will open to every individual, every institution, and every community on earth unprecedented opportunities to participate in the writing of the planet's future. "Soon", is Bahá'u'lláh's confident promise, "will the present-day order be rolled up, and a new one spread out in its stead."

sooooo .... I figure I might as well write .... write what I am feeling & thinking ... and maybe a few people along the way may join me in documenting for His sake our experiences with money ... ....
speaking of money ... here is an interesting video that documents some aspects of how the united states dollar was created {emphasize on modern times and the federal reserve} ... actually it is a two part video ...
and if you do not have a broadband connection this may not work for you...
