only the giant octopus of the money beast taking unto itself more

Understand then that the path of excellence is being lost in the world at a most rapid pace.  In the trades, in the arts, in merchandising and manu­facturing the profit motive has replaced the love of excellence and even service for the love of humanity.  There are those who will manufacture goods unnecessary to life whose very manufacture will cause by-products, pollutants, chemical wastes dangerous from the manufacture of plastics and other substances which are not being disposed of correctly.  There is no love motive therefore but only greed--only the giant octopus of the money beast taking unto itself more and more of the lifeblood of the people.   

Blessed hearts, the free enterprise system--the ability to enter into competition and to bring forth the highest work--has been destroyed by the monopolies of the fallen ones, by their interference with government controls against these monopolies. Therefore we see that the flow of love, the flow of the Holy Spirit, is stopped on one hand by the human consciousness of greed itself which then becomes vulnerable to the manipulation of the fallen ones from without.      -Archangel Chamuel and Charity:  12-31-1980 at Camelot, Los Angeles
