Evidently, China and India plan to begin using Gold instead of the US dollar to purchase oil from Iran. We foresaw this sort of thing when the US threatened to remove countries that bought oil from Iran from the Swift system of financial trading. That silly threat compelled those countries to make such a move.
The dollar will likely continue to be replaced by gold as the international trade currency. If that continues, the next step will be for the dollar to lose its position as the medium for banking reserves… again replaced by gold.
As this occurs, the demand for physical gold will rise significantly, increasing the price. Currently, much of gold trading is done by simply wagering bets on the price, with no demand for actual gold to be in hand. This undermines the price and opens the market to manipulation.
Originally commodity futures were used to stabilize prices. They have now become derivative gambling and virtual asset holding. This radically increases the amount of debt.
This debt expansion has already occurred with the Federal government printing all the money needed to cover the debts. “The cat is already out of the bag.” It is quite doubtful that anything can be done to prevent it at this point. Even if something could be done, the likelihood of it being done is remote indeed.
This is not to be considered a fearful situation. It is only yours to plan accordingly. If you do so, the transition to a new global financial age will occur easily for you. I have advised how to do that. Number one rule is to not behave like a deer in headlights. Don’t freeze.
The Age of Enlightenment is coming. This is all just part of the birthing process. Be well positioned, and prosper on all levels. This is the year of positivity. Step forward with positive actions. Positive means in harmony with nature. It is natural for there to be sunny days as well as stormy days. Anything can be justified with the intellect. You must look deeper to live better.
Make your decisions, not based upon how you think things should be or how they were, but upon how things are. To do this, you must look and feel deep within yourself. Truth lies there. A visionary is nothing more than a person who does that. All knowledge is within YOU. Talk is cheap. Opinions based upon superficial evaluations are everywhere.
History repeats itself. Those who do not look deeper are swept along with the currents of karma. How remarkable that an entire population of people followed a madman to bring havoc to the world… over and over again. I assure you that those people did not believe they were mistaken or puppets as that occurred. They believe they were in the right.
Karma is what it is. As Will Rogers said, “I’d rather be lucky than good.” But you can certainly improve the odds of having a great life tremendously by acting with wisdom. Wisdom is the permeation of the surface of your being with the depth of your being. The winds of karma blow most ferociously on the surface of life.
Look beyond the surface. On the surface lies the conditioning and programming of lifetimes. At the depth, you see truth. You are truth. No one can hand that to you. You have to pursue it for yourself. Good advice is everywhere. So is bad advice. Both are presented by ‘experts.’ You must open your eyes and decide for yourself. To do that, you must use everything you’ve got.
The only gold you can possibly own for real dwells within you.

Everything and Everywhere has a vibration. The vibrations you surround yourself with and the vibrations you hold within you do more to determine your life than anything else. In fact, they are your life. Even vibrations that you resist color your world. In fact, your resistance too is a vibration.
You access vibrations, not through thoughts, but through feelings. Deep inside, in a place beyond any denial or rationalization, you feel the truth of every vibration you experience. The gateway to that truth is called innocence. Innocence is not naivety. Innocence is untainted, unadulterated self-honesty.
Tend carefully to the vibrations in your life. Your thoughts are a vibration. Your words are a vibration. Your feelings are a vibration. Your food is a vibration. Your home, your community, you workplace… all are vibrations. Your environment from moment to moment is a vibration. Where you put your attention is a vibration. You are the vibrations you sustain within your self… mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Meditation permeates you with the exquisite vibration of the divinity of your own soul. Mantras culture your vibration in a manner unique to each.
Vedic Pandits live a lifestyle highly determined by vibrations. They must keep their physiology fine, in an environment of fine vibrations, so they can be conduits of the sublime vibrations of the mantras.
Everything has/is a vibration. Vibration is the essence of mojo (see mojo blog from earlier this month). Your vibrations determine your life, your health, your psyche… everything.
This all is not to say that you must constantly be concerned about the vibrations around you, for that would create a vibration of fear and unrest. Be easy with the notion of vibration. But do pay attention. If you do that, your own divine nature will spontaneously guide you to a more and more fulfilling and evolutionary life.

“Waste is worse than loss. The time is coming when every person who lays claim to ability will keep the question of waste before him constantly. The scope of thrift is limitless.” –Thomas Edison
The worst waste is the waste of time. Use time wisely. It is the only thing that is provided in limitation.

I received some lovely comments to the blog ‘True Happiness.’ One of them ended with:
“We have to make sure that we do not distinguish between our bounded and unbounded states making one more worthy than the other for both have equal worth… it’s the perspective that matters!!”
It is important to understand fundamental differences between the two levels. One that I would like to mention is that you cannot get the depth right by focusing on the surface. However, you can pretty much take care of the surface, through proper attention to the depth. Yes, it is important to put a great deal of attention on the surface, but for the most part, people do so to the exclusion of putting sufficient attention on the depth.
Similarly, water the root of a plant, tend to the root, and the rest of the plant pretty much takes care of itself. Tend as you may to the rest of the plant without providing the root with sufficient water and care, and the rest of the plant is doomed. This is the plight of Kali Yuga… too much attention to the surface.
That is not a matter of perspective. The laws of nature are what they are.
Now I do believe the writer of the comment I quoted above would agree with this. I just want to be sure that we all remains very clear on it. As I look around, most everyone lacks proper balance in this regard.
The Kingdom of Heaven lies within.

It consistently surprises me to see most people behave in a manner that indicates they do not really believe the following quote:
“Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have.” –Thomas Edison
To profess that you believe this is one thing. To live your life accordingly is quite another. Get on with your evolution! Get on with your purpose. Have something great to show for your life after it is over.
Time is wasting away!
