"The purity of gold and of silver were intended to be a constant reminder to Man of the goal of spiritual perfection which lay at the end of His great pilgrimage from innocense through bitter experience to the last supreme goal of earth life: to escape from the necessity of rebirth into The Material Plane so that the soul's energies could be concentrated on the learning of higher or more worthy lessons."
"The fact that man's flawed economic system has resulted in the epidemic inflation of all paper currencies is a perfect symbol of the way in which negative motives like greed and selfishness act to obscure the real goals of earth life. Inflation results from the greed of governments despite the claims of government spokesmen that avarice on the part of unions or business is responsible for it."
"The continual inflation of The Sixties resulted in the dollar and other currencies being severed from their connection with gold. This occurred principally when the 'two-tier' gold market came into existence. Thereafter, no person could be guaranteed of having his paper dollars converted on demand, by the government, into one or the other of the two precious metals. Thus, the latter were set adrift. In the same manner, the predominance of greed, materialism, and selfishness among men has resulted in the eclipse of all higher values as Man lost from sight the true goals of earth life."
