Since the beginning of time and after the knowledge of good and evil came to be, man has traded by barter, by precious metals and ornaments, by paper currency and today by virtual currency.
The introduction of each of these forms of illusion have gradually and subtly caused an increase in the burden of humanity with lust and greed and vanity exploiting the productivity of the meek and the lowly.
Perhaps you've never really been conscious of how this system of mammon works so I'll do you the favour of explaining exactly what serving mammon means for mammon is the true god of the earth, not man.
In an economy driven by productivity and by love for humanity, I share my productivity to my fellow human (God in me to God in them) without an expectation of reciprocity, and my fellow human does the same.
But because by knowledge of good and evil, I no longer trust myself to reciprocate without an expectation, I thus demanded an instant exchange of productivity for my productivity - the barter, the lion, the first.
Seeing that my needs and wants come in varying times and from varying sources, I needed to instantly exchange my productivity with something commonly accepted - the precious metals, the bear, the second.
With population size and transactions increasing faster than I can find or fragment precious metals, I needed to instantly exchange my productivity with something more liquid - the paper currency, the leopard, the third.
And now with digital technology, population, transactions, and vanity increasing faster than productivity, I need to instantly exchange my productivity for something intangible - the virtual currency, the fourth beast.
However, here's what I was actually doing - I give Mr A my effort, I don't trust myself or him so I take a token to represent my distrust and go away hoping when I need Miss A's effort I can also transfer that token to her.
Now that I've observed that with this unified token of distrust I can command anyone's effort, a desire to purse any shorter less burdensome means of accumulating this token at the expense of productivity is born.
Now I see the token as King, not the productivity behind it. Now I attach more token to any shorter less burdensome form of vanity as a reward for my pursuit of both. Now I know that all flesh want same things.
So I create more vanity, I reward it with more token, and then I reinvent the token. I discover new ways to manipulate the flow of the token while subtly commanding human effort at zero productivity input from me.
I now spend in real-time a credit on the token and then I create more of the token and distribute the token. The ignorant exchange their real-time productivity for more tokens backing my vanity - a remote slavery.
As long as the human distrust factor exist as a constant, I can keep churning out vanity upon vanity in exchange for the illusion of the token which I manipulate to satisfy my lusts and greed at zero productivity.
Oh foolish ego! Can't you see that when you pursue vanity & mammon with zero productivity, your body will soon die of hunger? You are both the manipulator and the manipulated. All soon desire what one desires.
This is the curse of the shared perspective, the shared currency, and the shared longings of the flesh. The productive I can tolerate, the not nosy, and the freely giving - but the lazy, nosy, & selfish I cannot bear.
They that make merchandize of ignorance and lies and cause a decrease in productivity level, in tolerance level, and in liberality towards worthy souls who toil day and night, I find no pleasure at all.
And they that love the deeds of the Nicolaitans which I hate even the destruction of souls; of misleading minds and knowingly shrouding them in darkness for personal gains, I find no pleasure at all.
Let the little ones contribute to the productivity chain by dedication to learning, let the youth and the grown adults contribute to the productivity chain by working, and let the elderly contribute by sharing their wisdom.
The unproductive shall no more trade for there'll be nothing to trade with but productivity - both of the mind by the head and of physical effort by the hand, all towards the sustainable evolving of humanity.
Then none shall lack or suffer. There'll be no war, no worries, no theft, no injustice, no deception, no manipulation, no fear of death because death is part of the cycle of life. Where there is birth, there is death.

He that hath an ear, let him hear and understand the Utterances of the 7 thunders, of him who walks in the midst of the 7 candlesticks, even the 7 spirits of the 7 churches now scattered abroad. Love one another.
Now may the angel bearing the seal thus move to the uttermost parts of the earth and seal this truth in the minds of all who will accept and believe it. And for those who will not, there is surely nothing else I can do.
***
Be productive and contribute to the food chain.
