A WRIT OF UNCOMMON WISDOM

As the years have passed, I've picked up some Truths to help along the way. I've combined a collection of them for your examination and entertainment below.

(You're free to reprint this article in it's entirety as long as the author and website's names are included and the links are active to the proper sites listed on this page. - George)

1.     The Secret that all Gurus know is that we're all Pilgrims. There are no masters and there are no students.

2.     Any decision (even a bad one) is superior to no decision at all. Why? Because a decision invokes ACTION!

3.     Whatever your decision or desire, be willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish your goal. The conviction and willingness to totally commit to achieving your goal is often enough, by itself, to remove obstacles from your desired path. INTENTION is more important than action because it Creates action!

4.     Reward desired actions—You'll always get more when you reward proper actions and results. REMEMBER:“What’s Rewarded Is What Gets Done!”

5.     Remember the 80-20 Rule: 80% of your results will come from 20% of your efforts. Be selective and increase Joy by eliminating the 80% portion of wasted, stressful effects and maximize the “20%” type of activities. Create more Joy in your Life and less stress.

6.     STAY AWAKE! Be conscious of the Present Moment. A master or teacher (guru) instructs by metaphor so that disciples may learn what they already know. All thought must be re-directed back to the Here and Now moments of everyday life. What you'll learn is that there's no truth that isn't already apparent or available to everyone who is “Awake” and in the “Now”.

7.     Organize Your Life! Organizing means that you won’t have to keep confronting bits and pieces of your past over and over again! Organization is the easiest, lowest energy, maximum joyful action in the long-term. It lowers stress tremendously and keeps you focused on the tasks you want to do. It eliminates distractions, energy-robbing regrets & frustrations.

8.     People doubt everything and everybody except their own ignorance. Keep an open Mind.

9.     It's alright to be skeptical providing that you apply the same skepticism to everything you think you already “know”.

10.   “Most things, when taken to their most fundamental level . . . are the Same Thing.” - George (its why metaphors work so well)

11. “You fear, therefore you Think” (too much) - George

12.   “Necessity is the argument of tyrants. It is the creed of slaves.” - William Pitt, the Younger

13.   “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains & slavery? Forbid it Almighty God!” - Patrick Henry March 23, 1775

14.    Spiritual Common Ground:

• “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.” - Jesus (Joshua)
• “Look within, thou art the Buddha.” - Buddha   
• “Atman (the essence of the individual) and Brahman (the ultimate reality) are one.” - from the Hindu tradition;
• “He who knows himself, knows his Lord.” - Mohammad

15.    On Compassion:

• Islam-"In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate." - Quran at the beginning of almost every chapter (113 chapters out of 114)
• Christianity—”As you wish that men would do to you, do so to them.” Luke 6:31;
• Buddhism—”Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.” - Udanarvarga;
• Judiasm- “That which is hateful to you, do not impose on others.” Talmud, Shabbat 31g;
• Hinduism—”Do naught unto others which would cause you pain if done to you.” Mahabharata 5:1517

16.   Can Love = Focus and Enthusiasm?

17.   A Principle: Placement is Power. This is derived from observational experience and feng-shui over Centuries of Time. “Where Nature thrives, so will people.”

18. There's no separation between Consciousness, Intention and Form. Form is an expression of Intention. "What you see is what you've Thought." - George

      Physiology = Psychology =Emotion = Consciousness = Intention = FORM (the physical surroundings of our lives). Good physical state = good psychological state = good emotional state.

Hope you find these as useful as I have.

All the Best - George

Inflation Is Here:

I've given some time since the last post to see how the economics were coming together and, the verdict is in. Inflation is now underway across the board in all the areas that matter to Human Beings:

FOOD, FABRIC and FUEL.

In the last post, I saw what I thought could be the beginnings of higher prices.

Time has confirmed this and added still other commodities as well such as CORN, COTTON, WHEAT, OATS, COPPER, COFFEE, SUGAR to the rising price groups.

The CRB Index Chart above shows how inflation is now starting to rise across all the commodities.

This is a pre-planned scenario that is constructed to be the "perfect storm" for the economies of the world.

• Money lending seized up.
• Inflation costing more to drive and deliver goods as well as
• driving the cost of goods to higher levels
• further depleting the monies that the public has
• creating more stress which undermines the immune system
• causing more pandemics and illness globally.
• creating more "need" for tighter surveillance and control of travel and the people in order to better "protect" them from the latest government promoted "fear".

This scheme is primarily targeted at the industrialized economies in order to further consolidate police state control elements in society under the guise of food and disease emergencies.

Created "terrorism" fears worked, and, so will hunger and disease.

Here's how it will work:

Higher fuel prices will drive rising commodity prices even higher and threaten food supplies (which are often down to only 3 day's inventory in most communities).

Presto: Food Fear.

Of course, higher food prices will undermine the vitality of the populace and make them more susceptable to diseases like flu epidemics as they cut back on nutritional food through economic necessity.

Presto: Flu Fear.

"Their" proposed Solutions?

Why, more government control, tracking and support of the masses of course!

For a "price", though, always for a "price".

That "price" cannot be money because they have effectively limited or eliminated most money from the economy through unemployment and the structured collapse of everything but the Banks.

So, what form could the "price" be in in order to be of interest to the government and it's corporate masters?

Mandatory controls, laws, treaties and regulation of the populace that force them to become consumers or producers of specific corporate "products" (such as providing data, GMO seed producers, Big Pharma, Oil, Universities and Banking etc.).

Obviously, the Banks were first in line for their handouts taken from the pockets of taxpayers,

The vaccine-makers are waiting next in line to have mandatory vaccines for the latest fear promoted flu or virus.

It's worth Billions to them. Wouldn't it be nice to have a product that people are forced to consume by law and fear? You don't even have to spend on advertising, fear will promote it for you and government will strong-arm the sales of the product.

This is big money for them all and the close connection now between these corporate elites and government is what Mussolini himself defined as "Fascism".

Time to wake up friends and step back a little and see that when things come together so nicely for the already wealthy, that it's too much for co-incidence to be the cause.

That's not conspiracy. It's a scientific fact.

When the dice come up sevens on every toss for the same group of industries over and over again, it's time to change dealers or to get out of the Game.

You're In Control and "They" Don't Want You to Know That Fact.

So, take some of that control back today. Strike a blow for your own freedom by taking away some of the power of these abusers that you have given to them in the past.

Order some heirloom seeds. Plant a small garden. Learn about growing things, homesteading some land that YOU control, build and repair things yourself.

Learn about Herbs and Natural Healing methods. Drugs are a gimmick and all are, by definition, poisonous and toxic. Our Ancestors took care of minor complaints themselves. Learn more about how they did that. Go to the internet and start searching and reading books. The Health Food Store is another good resource to locate literature.

There's a reason that this information is under attack by the Medical and Drug Industry and it isn't because they care about you.

It's because these ancient methods take money out of their Monopoly hands and they fear you'll find out how effective they are compared to their dismal records.

Stop shopping at giant chain stores.

Shop and support local merchants, farmers and friends.

When "it" hits the fan, it's the local friends and neighbors who can and will be motivated to save and help you, not fat-cat corporate boards on the other side of the country or the world.

They could care less about you and your family, just the money they can extract from you while keeping you barely alive to make more for them.

The "Plantation" is not dead. There are more "slaves" working on this Plantation than the South ever dreamed of during the civil war era!

And, Northern Industrialists created this National Plantation! Ironic, isn't it?

Start to get to know your neighbors and find some enlightened people or groups that are waking up to the big picture. If you can't, then, use the internet to seek them out and make contact.

I promise that for every step you take that makes you more independent, you'll sleep sounder and feel more secure.

Far better than you'll feel just standing back and waiting for the next scare headline from the government controlled media!

You can learn something new every day that will re-teach you the lessons of Nature.

These were the every day knowledge of our ancestors and it's time to make them proud by reclaiming that heritage of independence that they developed by taking care of their own needs.

Reconnect with Nature!

You will feel healthier and happier than you ever dreamed you could.

Without drugs, without tv, without video games, dvds, booze or their side-effects.

And, it will open your eyes further than they've ever be opened before. You will learn the Truth and how far we've drifted from the Truth, and that WILL set you FREE! - George

Hyper-Inflation Beginnings?:

COPPER PRICES

Let's start with some basics.

You and I know that the money presses are running red-hot day and night trying to manufacture the money that has already been spent and lost in "the Great Bail-Out Caper".

They will never, ever be able to print what has been spent, committed and wasted over the last 4 months.

This kind of unprecedented inflation of the money supply will, of course, eventually show itself by ratcheting up prices while deflating the value of the US DOLLAR.

Many suspect that this time we risk Hyper-Inflation, not the ordinary kind. It won't happen overnight, but, it will give us some early clues.

We may be seeing exactly that with the rising cost of Unleaded Gasoline, Crude Oil and now, the beginnings of a rising price trend in the industrial metal COPPER.

UNLEADED GASOLINE PRICES

Take a look at the COPPER chart at the top of this post.

This is the same kind of breakout above the "Golden Line of Intention"* that we have seen happen in Unleaded Gasoline and Crude Oil.

LIGHT CRUDE OIL PRICES

These are 3 commodities that are foundations of the US and World Economy.

If they go up, everything else will have to follow in time.

Remember back a few months when gasoline or petrol was skyrocketing? The economy started to grind to a halt and that was without all the other bad financial news that's come around since then.

In addition, as we have noted in earlier posts, GOLD and SILVER are also still in uptrends.

These, I think, are further indicators that the value of the US DOLLAR is eroding at the edges of the economy. -George

*"Golden Line of Intention"* - This is the golden line that we  place on our charts to indicate where we believe the big money interests are betting that the Markets will go. When their strategies are met, prices will break through the old line, change their trend and establish a new "Golden Line of Intention".

How Now Mr. Dow?:

The time has now become irresistable to take another look at the holy stock market index, the Dow Jones Industrial Averages (DJIA).

Why irresistable?

Well, the pundits are at it again and all the news services are going ga-ga over the "gains" in the DJIA over the last weeks.

Could they at last be correct?

Has the "Obama phenomena" cured the economic ills of the last two or three decades in only the last two months?

Well, to read or hear the news services, you might think so.

Again, we shall take our own advice and draw back from the present news headlines and emotion and view this stock market index from a safe distance in Time.

Glance at the chart above, take a relaxing breath and dare to speak what you instinctively know:

The Dow is still in decline.

The downward trend is still intact, just like when we last examined it several weeks back.

When the talking heads speak of "gains", what are they talking about?

Let me qualify what "they" consider to be "gains": Gaining 1400 points after losing 6,500 points!!

HELLO!!?

Turn off the TV and observe the Golden Line of Intention that we placed on the chart.

That line represents where we believe the major players are betting heavily on where the market will be going long term.

Oh, and they would like you to start "buying" to drive prices upward so they can go short and make even more money from you - the small investor

It would be foolish indeed to buck a down-trend of this magnitude though.

So, are you going to believe your own eyes and what you see in the long-term chart above or are you going to tune back into CNBC to let them tell you what is "real"?

Your choice, as always, but, now you know the other side of the argument for a change.

We'll look at what's hot in the commodity markets next post (possibly tomorrow), just to see what illusions we can uncover in the "smoke and mirrors" trading pits. -George

EURO and the US Dollar Updates:

In these increasingly chaotic markets and times, it's most important to draw back a little and give ourselves some perspective when looking at the markets.

True Value cannot be hidden over time.

An recent example can be seen in the Euro and US Dollar currencies.

There's been lots spoken and written in the media about the recent rise in the Euro's value, but, it that true?

Let's practice our own advice here and pull back a little bit from the day-to-day markets and use Time as our filter for trend.

Let's see what the Euro has been doing over the last 6-months or so:

What do your instincts tell you about the trend?

Still downward? Sideways?

Our "Golden Line of Intention" (which we use to determine what the big players are thinking) is telling us that the downtrend is still intact.

Now, let's put into practice what we advised at the beginning of this post. Let's use our longer-term perspective and check out the counter-currency to the Euro; the US Dollar.

As the US Dollar moves opposite to the value of the Euro, then, we should expect to see a long-term UPWARD TREND in the US Dollar if our assessment of the Euro continuing to go down is correct.

Let's take a look:

Ah-ha!

A good strong UPTREND continues in the US DOLLAR, as we can plainly see when we draw back a little to get some value perspective over time.

What's even more important to us is that this is entirely illogical according to the headlines we're reading and the economic news floating around right now.

When we find markets acting "contrary" to the masses intentions, then, you can be pretty sure we're being sold a line of BS to mislead us away from where the big money is digging the investment "gold".

Friends, this isn't "rocket science", but, then, all the rocket-scientists (in the guise of investment bankers and derivative experts) have been shown to be maniacs and fools (or worse, mega-crooks!).

By the way, if you haven't already seen the Jon Stewart clip where he shows you how CNBC leads tens of thousands of investors astray continuously, you can check it out here:

Conclusion: Money is still flowing into US Dollars and out of Euros. This too will change someday, but, for now, that's the "perspective" from here.  -George

Silver and Gold Updates:

Gold is still in a climbing price trend as seen using the Golden Line of Intention on the 6-month chart below.

With $75-$100 pull-backs along the way, this market is best entered (in my opinion) when prices are approaching the Golden Line of Intention.

That Line approximates what the really huge money invested in this Market is expecting for TREND and rate of return for themselves.

News articles and hype media are unreliable except as indicators of the completely WRONG places to enter or exit historically.

Wall Street hates Gold as it's only manipulatible through the futures markets and that's too thin a market for multi-billionaires to pillage without escaping notice (although Banks have been doing their usual stellar job creating a non-reality based Gold pricing structure through Gold Leasing contracts).

At any rate, the up trend continues for Gold prices and also for Silver (see below).

We'll take a look at the Euro and some other markets over the next few days to see what is brewing out there in the chaos.

There's always something afoot as the same Market Players are out there and they can't stop themselves.

Habits die hard even in economic chaos times.

However, the big players habit patterns are  discernable we believe and we might just get the clues we need to "read" the real news of the day using charts instead of slanted headlines and media hype.

Stay tuned in. -George

Interest-Free Loans from a Bank?

YES! It's Real and It's Working Today!

See How Things Can Be When We Decide To Take Back Our Power. 

Part 2,3 and 4 can be found here.

When you take the time to watch this video sequence, you'll learn how interest increases the price of everything by about 45%.

80% of the population never make enough to offset the cost of interest charges.

10% make about as much as they pay in interest charges for everything and . . .

10% literally get all the interest from the other 90%!

Elitism.

This is the cause of economic elitism and it's built right into the interest-based money and debt system.

This is inequality that will eventually bring about an economic collapse just like what is happening today.

Of course, Islamic Banking has always worked without charging interest, but, now, we have an example of a bank in the Western World waking up to the evils of interest as well.

FINALLY!

Christianity used to espouse this same philosophy, perhaps it will awaken from it's slumber to do the right thing again and oppose the interest based loan system.

Please take some minutes to watch the video about the JAK BANK in Sweden- a membership bank where no one member controls more than a single share and no interest-based loans are made.

This is the system that can benefit all at the local level for local needs of it's members.

It's time for a human-need based system of money and banking. - George

How Money Became "Debt" and Debt Became "money"

We need to confront the shadows that loom over us these days and see them for what they are:

ILLUSIONS.

Illusions that we've been trained to believe as being real.

The root of our troubles today seem to swirl around "money" or what we've been led to believe is "money".

Today's "money", indeed the concept we've been taught to believe is money, only came into being during the last Depression.

That's when real money, known as Gold-backed currency or debt-free money was replaced with federal reserve notes that are backed by nothing but debt.

This is the real "Money" we once had:

Many people think that those were days when people's pockets were heavy with Gold coins, but, I'm speaking about the ultimate backing of the paper money that circulated through the economy.

Take note of that Gold Seal on the front of the above bill.

This is a close-up that shows that the paper was redeemable for GOLD, the actual value behind the paper:

You could bring a 20-Dollar Gold Certificate to any bank and exchange it for a $20 Gold coin like this 1928 $20 Gold Double Eagle Coin:

The value of the paper money was affixed to the Gold and couldn't be tampered with or inflated by banks as they have since 1934.

How many paper federal reserve notes from your wallet or purse would it take today to buy this very same $20 Gold coin?

When this article was written it was $940 federal reserve notes (fake "money") to buy something real (the Gold Coin).

You can directly see how inflated so-called paper "money" has become.

It now takes essentially 50 twenty-dollar federal reserve notes to buy what ONE single twenty-dollar Gold-backed note used to- a single GOLD TWENTY DOLLAR COIN! 

Time for action now.

Turn off the TV and instead devote that hour you would have wasted to learning something they didn't teach you in school.

It's time to take a few minutes and watch the video below and learn the difference between real Money and "money as debt".

Let's learn how things got switched around and upside down with us on the bottom instead of on top where we belong rightfully: 

It's time well spent. -  George
