I would not be so bold to assume that I could speak for any 'Holy Man' but I would think that any omnipresent entity that we choose to place our faiths and beliefs in would laugh heartily at the numerous financial institutions that hide behind the guise of religion. As far as I am aware there are no organised (or unorganised) religions that do not require some form of financial contribution from 'the company' members at some point.
"So money=power, freedom, the ability to bend others to your will through advertising or the employer/employee relationship. We blindly conform to this since it is what we a used to."
~ We DO NOT !
I do generally try to avoid such sweeping general statements. Perhaps a better wording would have been "Many of us conform to this, unaware of what is actually occurring around us".
It is in fact foolish to think that ALL people would turn and see the light of Rasta way of life, but this way may be found in many cultures and faiths if ones were to stop holding up behind the false word of LAW many "religions" hold people back by.
I agree. Although I believe it is not just religions that are full of falsity and inaccuracy.
If we look back 200 years we see the same thing as 2000 years ago. Corruption, Greed, Power/Money, just like you said. 200 years to the future, thats a tough one. Will people come out of this on their own?, will there be a collective desire to unite the people of the world?, We may look back to prophesy to glimpse a possible solution, but the way I see it , it can not be done without Faith. Faith that there is a Greater part to us than we have , as yet, been UN~ABLE for most to tap. Faith that the one true purpose we are meant for is Love of each other. An energy that has clear power. We can NOT buy it. We must see it as reality and ACT it out in our daily lives, then share the experience to spread this message of love in these time of need.
Yes greed, corruption etc have been a feature of human development. As has scarcity. We have spent our history fighting for resources. For food, shelter, water ... It is no wonder that under such circumstances these tendencies developed. You pose the question, "will people come out of this on their own?" I believe yes! With or without faith!! Faith can be beneficial for individual development for sure but in order to change human behaviour we must change human circumstances for it is these circumstances that lead to the behaviour.
Unlike at any time in humankind's documented history we now have the technology to create abundance. In fact we have abundance. Unfortunately it is not being advertised since abundance is the enemy of profit and profit is the lifeblood in a monetary based society.
With a resource based society we all have access to the latest and best of everything. Greed, corruption etc .. lol how would they work in a resource based society .. with access to everything you ever wanted there is no need to envy anybody for you can have exactly the same (material) thing should you require it.
Many tasks would be automated (This process is happening anyway) freeing us from these tasks creates time for us to spend with our family or to be learning or even to continue the unending debate regarding faith! For I am sure that the 'faith' debate will outlast numerous changes in society whether the changes be for the better or worse!
On a slight tangent, over time change has been constant. We have evolved, as has the planet. Now look at the journey of your own life. Has not adversity made you stronger? So things that have 'been wrong' have actually been beneficial when reflected upon. So nothing was actually 'wrong' it was all just part of the process. If anything 'the wrong' was actually right since it helped make you who you are now. This is the case globally, universally in fact. Nothing is wrong. It is all as it should be at this point on the journey.
... We just haven't seen what's around the corner yet ..although if you wish to know I will be bold enough to suggest that you will find that it is another corner!

Enjoy the experiences and moments of your day for it is them that make you who you are

Love to you all
