The deeply threaded defect in the currently operating financial system, can be corrected only on the scientific platform of the sovereign nation-state that operates on a federal zero-usury credit structure.  In this system, the return on investment comes from the increased productivity of developed infrastructures and industries that create wealth for the nation or the investors.

All this means, that money has two possible positions on the matrix.  One is a downward oriented Civic institution,  associated with terrorism and leading to anarchy.  And the other is upwards oriented, associated with Scientific political activism supporting the Sovereign nation-state on a platform of Scientific Christianity.  These two contrasting positions are represented in Appendix A6 by the Glossary definitions for the terms Gad and Reuben.

The upwards oriented position of Scientific political activism that adopts the financial system to the characteristics of the sovereign nation-state, is defined by the name GAD:  "Science; spiritual being understood; haste towards harmony."  In contrast, the downward oriented position of Financial terrorism, which represents the modern feudalism and its insanities, leading to anarchy, is defined by the name REUBEN: "Corporeality; sensuality; delusion; mortality; error."  These two definitions characterize the nature of money and its usefulness to humanity, or its destructive impact, according to the ideals that society seeks.

Gad, and Reuben, as was pointed out Volume 3, are two of the children of Jacob, of the biblical story found in Genesis 29-31. It is a story of people manipulating one another.  It is probably the only story in the Bible that describes the mental background of today's world-financial system.

The story of Jacob begins with fraud.  With his mother's guidance, Jacob cheated his elder brother out his birthright, for which deed, Jacob had to flee the country.  He found refuge with his mother's brother, Leban, where he fell in love with Laban's daughter Rachel.  He agreed to serve Leban for seven years, for his daughter's hand in marriage.  Except, when the time came, he was given Leah, the older daughter, instead.  So he agreed to serve for another seven years, to obtain Rachel also.

The unfolding strife in this dual marriage is reflected in the naming of the children.  And by all accounts, it was agony.  Jacob loved Rachel, but Leah was bearing him children, mostly sons, which were valuable to Jacob's economy.  Leah had hoped to win away his focus from Rachel, and gain his affections by this support.  The name Reuben reflects this hope, a hope of deriving gain from manipulation, for Rachel was barren.  Leah bare him two more sons, Simeon and Levi, under the same parameters, though with escalating manipulative zeal.  When her third child was born, Leah said: "Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons:  Therefore was his name called Levi."*(Genesis 29:34) The name, Levi, means: attached.   Mary Baker Eddy defined its meaning as, "A corporeal and sensual belief; mortal man; denial of the fullness of God's creation; ecclesiastical despotism."

The failure of this process must have alerted Leah, for at the birth of her forth son, Judah, the focus was no longer manipulative but development oriented so that she acknowledged the event the child's birth as contributive to the advancement of their family society, for she said, "Now will I praise the Lord: therefore she called his name Judah."*(Genesis 29:35)  Interpreted, the name, Judah, means: Object of praise!  Mary Baker Eddy defines its meaning as,  "A corporeal material belief progressing and disappearing; the spiritual understanding of God and man appearing."  Indeed, Leah stopped bearing children at this point.  It should be noted that Judah became a political leader in later years, with a focus on nation-building.
