Abstract cost
Within this Living, through our work, actions, and achievements, an invisible and distinctive form of energy is generated. The spirits and intelligences of the Invisible Higher Worlds are nourished and vitalized by this refined energy. This energy is called Abstract cost. The abstract cost that arises from wealth and material goods earned through honest labor, personal intellect, and creative ability is regarded in the Invisible Higher Worlds as pure energy. Elders who are strengthened by pure Abstract cost, in turn, transmit fitting ideas and proper energy to their descendants, thereby creating an exchange of cost. This is referred to as the full circulation of Abstract cost. Conversely, individuals who live by consuming wealth and material resources created through the labor and intellect of others are unable to generate Abstract cost. Without reciprocal energy exchange, their mind have no more access to creative ideas and constructive inspirations, further leading to the cessation of energetic circulation. This condition is referred to as the one-way circulation of Abstract cost. When descendants are unable to nourish their Elders through Abstract cost, those Elders are urged to seek energy from alternative sources. Furthermore, attempts to obtain money by any means—including deception or theft—also generate a form of Abstract cost. However, this energy nourishes not the ancestral Elders, but Mr. Greed. Because it is Mr. Greed who provides the cunning methods for unjust gain, it holds the right to receive this impure energy. In return, it nourishes deceit and wrongdoing, and invades the person’s mind with dark and corrupt thoughts.
