Who are these usuryfree creatives? To better understand who are these
usuryfree creatives permit me to refer you to the website for
Cultural Creatives.
http://www.culturalcreatives.org
where it is written:
While Cultural Creatives are a subculture, they lack one critical
ingredient in their lives: awareness of themselves as a whole people.
We call them the Cultural Creatives precisely because they are already
creating a new culture. If they could see how promising this
creativity is for all of us, if they could know how large their
numbers are, many things might follow. These optimistic, altruistic
millions might be willing to speak more frankly in public settings and
act more directly in shaping a new way of life for our time and the
time ahead. They might lead the way toward an Integral Culture.
UsuryFree Creatives often see themselves as a subgroup within the
larger group of Cultural Creatives. The focus of point of usuryfree
creatives is to re-educate our fellow citizens that a world without
interest (usury) is possible agin in this 21st Century as it was in
the Middle Ages. UsuryFree Creatives are commonly found as active
participants within the growing movement of local communities that are
launching usuryfree community currencies to use as a complement with
their diminishing amounts of paper notes of federal cash.
To qualify as an active usuryfree creative one must be aware of the
design flaw of usury and know that it functions as the killer machine
in our orthodox system of economics. As a usuryfree creative one also
supports the growth and expansion of the usuryfree community currency
movement as our last, best alternative that will aid us in setting up
our 'economic lifeboats' in our respective local communities so that
we-the-people can negotiate trades when the Titanic of usury-based
debt money goes down.
These gatherings of usuryfree creatives in mid-November 2008 will
begin with a brief history about the evolution of UsuryFree Day and
Week from its birth in a small town (Tamworth) in economically
depressed, rural, eastern Ontario, Canada to its present state four
years later. November 13th is designated as UsuryFree Day and the
following week is designated as UsuryFree Week.
This year there will be a series of meetings/gatherings hosted in
various locations. At these meetings there will be some of the
pioneering usuryfree creatives who have been blazing trails for others
to follow.
Part workshop, part seminar, part re-education, part brainstorming,
the events of the Fourth Annual UsuryFree Day/Week are co-hosted by
the UsuryFree Network. Active and prospective usuryfree creatives are
attracted to these events and to the usuryfree community currency
movement.
UsuryFree Day/Week events offer an opportunity for people from
anywhere/everywhere to communicate and interact with
usuryfree-thinkers and charge or re-charge their alternative economic
batteries.
This Fourth Annual UsuryFree Day/Week is expected to draw the largest
numbers of usuryfree creatives ever because it is nearly impossible to
be ignorant of what?s been happening in the orthodox world of
usury-based debt money.
It is the hope of usuryfree creatives that awareness of the problems
associated - either directly or indirectly - with usury as exacted by
creditors will motivate debtors to action. Rather than withdrawing and
throwing in the towel and portraying a defeatist attitude, debtors are
encouraged to view the DVD Money As Debt and thereafter commit to
following a self-imposed course on how to eventually experience a
usuryfree lifestyle.
Copies of the DVD "Money As Debt" are available for sale. It is a
47
minute DVD that explains how money is created in Canada and USA -
something that formal education neglects to teach. The cost is $25.00
and it is a fundraiser for The UsuryFree Network. (see address below)
During this Fourth Annual UsuryFree Day/Week, usuryfree creatives will
be recommending that the optimal path to follow is for uncommon people
to lead the way in their respective local communities by implementing
a usuryfree community currency. Usuryfree creatives advocate that
consumers change the way they spend their federal dollars by shopping
locally. Additionally, it is recommended by usuryfree creatives that
people learn how to create and spend their own usuryfree community
currency thereby launching their own economic lifeboats now so as to
be ready to abandon the usury-based Titanic of orthodox, usury-based,
debt money when it goes down - and go down she will ....
It is in the spirit of re-building local community that usuryfree
creatives are celebrating this Fourth Annual UsuryFree Day/Week. Their
hope is that by the end of November 2008, we will have more usuryfree
creatives talking not about the gloom and doom of our orthodox system
of usury-based debt money, but rather about the possibility and
probability of we-the-people experiencing the reality of usuryfree
living - joy, love, peace and prosperity for everyone on this planet.
