We stopped practicing capitalism

By Mollie Engelhart - posted Thursday, 23 October 2025

Earning your place through contribution not coercion.

We must ask ourselves honestly: Are we still mirroring nature? Or have we started mimicking a machine, a top-down system built on control, not connection? Because what we mirror shapes what we become.

And I believe that divine intelligence expressed through nature is far wiser than any centralized human plan. We ignore that mirror at our peril.
