The equal-value system transcends the dichotomy of wealth and poverty as well as alternative money systems. It is a system for truly advanced civilizations in which everyone is valued and able to freely do what they love to do without contorting or selling themselves in order to “make money”.
The following excerpt from Millennium — Tools For the Coming Changes (ISBN: 0-9631320-3-2) by Lyssa Royal, pp. 113-115, provides the seed idea of the equal-value economic system (EVES). It is cited with permission from the authors.
Most people have not yet learned how to step into this state and let it serve them. Let us say that you could have everything you wanted whenever you wanted it. How then is wealth defined? There can be no wealth because it is only measured against a state of lack. Wealth is a measure of what you have compared to what others have — lack.
Some extraterrestrial societies (such as on several Pleiadian planets) have a system called the equal value system, which is a reflection of their beliefs about abundance and the free state of their society.
The equal-value system might sound simplistic, but it actually requires tremendous spiritual and emotional evolution to master. As an analogy, if you need food in that society, you simply walk into the supermarket, get the food and leave without paying. When someone comes to you for your service, you provide it without charge. This system reflects a balance of wealth that has no arbitrary, constantly shifting values. The foundation of thier wealth is a deep sense of value for each member of society. Everyone is eager to keep their world evolving by constantly following their creative excitement.

This type of planetary economy is a holistic unit. In criticizing this type of society, one might ask obvious questions such as, “Who takes out the garbage or performs the unpleasant tasks?”¹ In a society where creative freedom is encouraged and not suppressed, there are many inventors who create technology to deal with every challenge, garbage included. Free-energy devices have been created to handle all of the planet’s energy demands.
Without a government or a corporation hoarding profits and controlling new discoveries, the best interests of the society as a whole or as individuals are never overlooked. The spirit of the society is expressed through constant achievement and creative freedom rather than constant profits. This is a symptom of a healthy holistic organism. Where there is a need there is someone to fill the need. This might sound alien to you, but look at the many enthusiastic inventors in your world who want to promote alternative fuel sources but who are stopped by big business.
Any planet can eventually develop this type of society. However, it cannot happen now on Earth while you are in the present level of fear. If one day all the world leaders said, “Okay, now on we have the Pleiadian equal-value system,” there would be chaos! There would be tremendous hoarding, because you would not believe you deserve it. You would feel as if you had to grab as much as you could before someone changed their mind. Your planet is simply not emotionally ready for this type of system. There is too much invested in lack and victimhood. There is too much invested in the polarized belief of the have and have-not mentality.
There must be a deep internal transformation before you can embrace the Pleiadian equal-value system or your own version of the equal distribution of wealth. Communism was an immature attempt at an equal-value system. So is capitalism. A true equal-value system that supports society will not have any oppressive control, rigidity or constraints attached to it. Because society is tiring of the old game of lack and wealth and you are moving toward ideas that reflect self-responsibility, a precursor to an equal-value system will appear when the time is right.
Freedom begins at the individual level. However, you must remember that freedom and equality are inherent properties of your spirit. Once recognized, you must then begin exercising your freedom, otherwise you will continue the cycle of dependence and corruption in a downward spiral.
If you become more self-responsible and affiliate yourself with others who are making the same choice, you will always have what you need when you need it. Always. It is a very different way to live. These words do not convey the true depth of the meaning of freedom of the spirit, because words always fall short in such matters. Be aware that bondage is a state of mind and a state of heart.
Choose freedom, live that freedom, and watch your lives and your planet transform before your eyes.
Editor’s comment: The issue of “who takes out the garbage” need not be dependent on having technology take care of it. The cultivation of a spirit of service or “karma yoga” goes a long way to handling unpleasant tasks and is inevitably necessary — in any society.

Hey shock me, all i can say is unless your mindset changes you & your armed outsiders won’t be in this new economy
Armed outsiders have a way of inviting themselves in.

[...] Guilty by association is a principle UGD teaches and it works very simply. You become like those you associate with. Of course you will be attracted to those who are like you, this is another Universal Principle. By using this principle you can personally choose the shift in mindsets. All gangs have leaders, and however the leader acts so will the other members, yes? Well, not necessarily this is an example of Piscean competitive thinking. It is possible to have a cooperative group of like-minded individuals where each person participates equally and independently but with a cooperative mindset and similar goals. Their values will be the same, and the outcome will be mutually beneficial for all people not just their gang (group or organization). “If you become more self-responsible and affiliate yourself with others who are making the same choice, you will always have what you need when you need it.

Thanks a lot for the article and the theme…
in my opinion, such brilliant economics may be implemented in specific terms:
The first, consciousness of humanity must be lacking in selfishness and the fear of death, so the wish to survive anyway. Until we got rid of the principle “provide self-surviving for the first, and other people can wait”, we couldn’t see the society, ready to this economics.
Scientists had already proved that consciousness is the original cause for everything, so all we see around is the result of our mental-sensitive perception. Maybe, we need to revalue or goals and principles of lives and to turn thinkking in direction of the principle (for example) “society for personal development, a person for social development’. That’s the point of altruism, responsibility, awareness, creativity, positivism. And it’s the productive attitude instead of exploitative, predatory.
So all the reasons for both our current condition and for possible happy future are in our minds. I suppose, the intensive increasing of intellectual and deep-sensitive potential can improve our economics etc.
“Wealth is a measure of what you have compared to what others have — lack.” seems to be erroneous…
Definition of wealth:
1. An abundance of valuable possessions or money.
2. The state of being rich; material prosperity.
Contrary to the above, ”Wealth is a measure of what you have.” No mention of lack.
“Lack” is an inference/ comparison the writer has created by positioning himself in a money based ideology. I agree in essence with the above, the similar idea is expressed better here:

I don’t think there are any fundamental errors in the comment “Wealth is a measure of what you have compared to what others have – lack.”
That makes perfect sense. Let’s look at two situations:
1.) This is going to be our current situation. Some people have lots of money, possessions, property, etc. while many people have small amounts of money, possessions, property, etc. In this situation, the few with more are wealthy and rich, while the people with little “lack” wealth and possessions.
2.) This situation is going to be under the equal-value system. We can automatically dump money out of the definition of value since there is no money. Everything is free. Nothing has a value attached to it. See it as everything being $0. There is no way to define wealth since everyone’s possessions are essentially $0. Technically speaking, everyone has access to the same amount of everything, it’s just whether or not they are using it or in possession of it at a certain time that could be used to define wealth. If you have access to everything just as much as the everyone else, you wouldn’t say “I’m wealthy,” because then everyone could say the same thing.
What I am getting at, and I think the author as well, is that if everyone has access to everything, then if one person can say they are wealthy, so can everything, and thus the defining line between wealth vs. poverty is nullified, thus make those two words obsolete and unusable.
In such an economy, wealth (or power) would be defined by your ability to take without giving back. Perhaps you are armed or just really good at convincing people of things.
As soon as one other person agrees with your view your odds of getting another and another increase until you are resisted or everyone else just leaves.
When people live with their families, do they bring weapons to the table to fend off fellow family members? Do they pay armed guards to protect their possessions in their bedroom, just in case someone leave the table early and tries to steal the other’s possessions? No. If humanity viewed all other people as family members, then, in all likelyhood, no one would need to be well armed to fend off anyone else. Everything would be shared.
And that’s what this is about; sharing, not hoarding as we do now in our current money-based systems.
I did have a breakfast with one of my sister’s previous husbands. He brought a rifle, but he used it to shoot at a black squirrel out the window. After our ears stopped ringing, he explained that he only shoots the black ones due to their taste for the things in his garden.
So how does such a society as your propose deal with armed outsiders?
In all seriousness, the likely result of such sharing might break the discipline of an armed band of outsiders. Assuming goods were plentiful enough not to be worth defending.
I think we are at the stage where we need to create a lot of buzz about the Gift Economy and all related concepts. Tell everyone and discuss with everyone willing to discuss it. Whether people support or disagree, the idea gets out there. The hypnotic money trance in which the world is in and doesn’t realize it will start to abate. People need to wake up from money. It will be a friendlier world when that happens.
