Angel Raphael – The prophet of interest

Angel Raphael’s teaching about living off the interest can be likened to the process of growing mushrooms. Just as mushrooms grow from the nutrient-rich substrate and thrive on the byproducts of organic matter, the idea is to live sustainably and make use of what is already available, rather than depleting resources. This means living off the “interest” – the renewable, sustainable yields from the environment – rather than consuming the “principal” – the finite resources that, once used, are gone forever.

This concept promotes a lifestyle that focuses on regeneration and balance, ensuring that resources are used in a way that allows them to replenish and continue providing benefits over time, much like how mushrooms recycle nutrients in an ecosystem.
