All joking aside, I think some rainbow family folks are on a path such as you speak.

Pretty cool to hear. I've always wondered why homeless people generally burden themselves with the rags of the culture to which they object, even here in SF. In more conservative areas I can see how somebody might actually be arrested for dressing (or not) creatively, but I just remembered the Tinman I saw on Powell once...
My brother goes to those gatherings from time to time, but they've always sounded a bit, uh, arduous to me...

I think for people who choose that lifestyle, the gatherings are much less arduous than living in "babylon"

If you went to India or Asia you will find out they are just as spiritual as the rest of the world... but really they are after money for the most part just like the all the others.

If you have money you can produce more value for other people.
Profit is what allows those who produce Actual Real Value to produce more Actual Real Value for other people, this is Morally Correct when there is nothing but Voluntary Exchange.
It is not money that is the problem, it is the money substitute called FIAT CURRENCY. FIAT CURRENCY is a socialist idea and socialists seek to control the money supply with inflationary monopoly funny money.
CENTRAL BANKSTERS = MONEY CHANGERS. Ben Bernanke was a money changer, yes. Bennie the Helicopter dollar dropper is literally the reincarnation of a money-changer from circa 2000 years ago. He had a disagreement with a Carpenter.
If a person is interested in Spiritual Concerns, they certainly have depth, providing more stimulating depth of conversation.

They may claim to be spiritual in those most holy of places, but that does not make it so. Also I am sure a lot of them just want a bit of money to put some food on the table or maybe to have so that they too may have the pleasure of giving. Also...please see Bitcoin for more information on how to end the fed.

FUCK BITCOIN. How easy is it to counterfeit and/or embezzle virtual coinage?
Have you heard people complain about price inflation on World of Warcraft?
Tangible Physical Commodity Based Mediums of Exchange everything else is flatly bullshit.

If you read into it, it's not easy if not possible. All the money is secured on the peer to peer network and coins are "mined" based on a crazy computer algorithm, it's all self policing/stabilizing. I'd say the recent rise in bitcoins is due to the popularity. Once a selling spree starts I see the prices dropping again. Supply and demand... but fuck... if someone held onto 5000 dollars or so worth of coins from last year they would have made like 40 grand. Crazy stuff.

Some folks are enamored with technology and do not see the moral hazard of how easy it is to inflate a digital form of money.
Tangible physical commodities that can not be counterfeited. That is why gold really is better in small amounts, small units of weight, that way you aren't taking tungsten instead.
Precious metals have been used for LONG time periods because they have high value to weight ratio, easily recognized by differing cultures (which is what you want when engaging in commerce), has a recognizable purity standard, is a value that you can set aside and will buy more goods and services over time (opposite of how funny money devalues) because it is stable in supply without serious fluctuations.
It is the stability in supply of Commodity based money that stabilizes the Civilization that it is being used.
Stability of the money supply means that Economic Calculations (VERY LONG TERM!) that are quite accurate become rather easy.
Instability in the Economy is caused DIRECTLY by Instability in the money supply.
Civilization developing and rising upward is caused by the Stability that is Natural with Commodity Based Money.
What you value says a great deal about Spirituality, even what you value in terms of Commodities et cetera.
