Looking Behind the Curtain

May 31, 2012 in Opinion, World

This article is part four of a five-part series on how we can make a peaceful transition into a peaceful world.

For the purposes of this discussion, I am using this definition.

A peaceful world is one where each person is free to experience life and liberty without depriving another person of these attributes.

This link takes you to an article where I introduce this series and explain my definition.

This link takes you to part one of the series.

This link takes you to part two of the series.

This link takes you to part three of the series.

Life and liberty includes accurate information systems. The barrier to this is censored media and educational systems.

My name is Matthew C. Cox and I am a newsoholic.

As a kid, I woke up every morning to the news report from WHEE AM in Martinsville, Virginia. Mom always started the day by listening to the news.

We spent dinner time watching the TV News from Channel 7 in Roanoke. Thirty minutes of local news followed by thirty minutes of Walter Cronkite.

I came home from school to the daily local afternoon Martinsville Bulletin. For a while, we received The Roanoke Times in the morning.

At the time, I often felt like I wasn’t getting the entire story. I assumed printing deadlines and limited access to information were responsible for gumming up the works.

My high school government teacher had several copies of the daily newspaper delivered to the classroom and reading the paper was part of our class assignments. She encouraged us to look for the story behind the story

My college history professor did the same thing with our textbook. He lectured on what was painfully obvious, even though the book didn’t say it.

These two instructors provided my first clues that media and education were censored.

When I started working radio, I thought I would finally have access to news insiders and get to report breaking stories. I was surprised when I discovered the first station where I worked used the local paper for their news reporting.

The next station had an Associated Press news feed. I loved being the first to know something.

However, even with access to all of this information, I still felt like something was missing.

What I didn’t understand then, that I understand now, is that mainstream media (MSM) and public education approaches information with a specific agenda. This agenda is controlled by those who write and distribute the news to MSM and textbook companies.

To see an example of how this works with MSM, take a look at this short video put together by Conan O’Brien. The fun starts at the 1:23 mark.

green CurtainObviously, all of these shows reported the story from the same source. There was a man behind the curtain, pulling the switches, and controlling the story’s presentation.

This blatant control of information has spurred Alternative Media and alternative methods of education. These websites, individuals, and news agencies are willing to think for themselves. They offer a different perspective on information and they often report stories MSM won’t touch.

Each alternative source, unlike MSM, blatantly admits it has an agenda. It may be religious. It may be liberal. It may be conservative. It may be conspiratorial.

In each case, it fills in the emptiness left behind by MSM.

Today, I can feed my addiction with twenty-four hour news stations and the internet. I am inundated with information, often reported as it happens, and beamed onto the television on my office wall. If I can’t find it there, I can find it through a link on my Twitter feed.

In spite of this abundance of information, every time I hear a story, I know I’m only getting part of it.

Therefore, to be truly informed, I must get the story from numerous sources. This includes MSM, Alternative Media, spiritual teachers, and insiders.

In addition, I must understand that news agencies gain ratings and advertising dollars by creating conflict. This duality drama drives a significant part of their efforts. Often, they fill their time by reporting a story and then, getting people to argue about it. This emotional intensity creates attachments and attention, while distracting from the true story.

I believe a peaceful world will allow for the reporting of the full story. It will include openness and honesty. It will let us see the man behind the curtain and realize he is no longer necessary.

Until then, what is the peaceful response?

  1. Recognize that every news source has an agenda. (Yes, this includes me. Mine is World Peace.)
  2. Identify the agenda of certain reporters and, when gathering information, get it from several reporters with different agendas.
  3. Trust your gut. If something about the story doesn’t feel accurate, it probably isn’t. Look deeper until you find the story behind the story.
  4. If a response is necessary, respond slowly and carefully, with the understanding that you probably don’t yet have all the information you need to respond intelligently.

I’ll conclude this series tomorrow by considering how our approach to relationships demonstrates our willingness to live in a peaceful world.

Digging Up the Money Root

May 30, 2012 in Finance, Opinion, World

This article is part three of a five-part series on how we can make a peaceful transition into a peaceful world.

For the purposes of this discussion, I am using this definition.

A peaceful world is one where each person is free to experience life and liberty without depriving another person of these attributes.

This link takes you to an article where I introduce this series and explain my definition.

This link takes you to part one of the series.

This link takes you to part two of the series.

Life and liberty includes a fair, asset-based method of trade. The barrier to this is the current debt-based method of trade.

I have always been fascinated with the topic of money. I enjoy mathematics, even algebra. I started preparing my own tax returns while I was in high school. I did other people’s tax returns as a favor while going through college, getting a degree in music education, and teaching private music lessons. I even approach music mathematically.

One day, I had an epiphany.

I could use my fascination with numbers to help other people manage their finances. I changed professions.

Since then, I’ve prepared tax returns, done accounting work, and provided business coaching services.

Through doing this work, I began to notice how people struggle with Peace of Mind. My observation is that people worry more about money than anything else. In fact, even when they are focused on something else like health or relationships, money always plays a role in those situations. They worry about how to pay for medical care or how a partner is using money.

I wrote a couple days ago that part of this problem has to do with our ideas of ownership.

The other part of this problem is directly related to our current debt-based method of trade.

MoneyTreeThis system, which started in its current form in 1913 with the creation of The Federal Reserve, has come to symbolize everything that is wrong with today’s economy. It allows bankers to control the money supply through the printing of currency. It is the root of the problem that has brought us to the edge of financial catastrophe.

This debt-based method of trade cannot continue without growth of the money supply. When every dollar created comes from debt, interest must be paid on the debt. The money to pay the interest isn’t created with the original debt. Therefore, it must come from future dollars, which are created from more debt, which require more interest, which must come from future dollars.

As a result of this method of trade, we are faced with three choices:

  1. Massively print more money and create additional inflation.
  2. Fall into a global depression as debt goes unpaid.
  3. Reboot of the whole global monetary system.

Since World War II, The Fed has chosen to print more money to prevent global depression. This is why a gallon of gas, that I watched my parents pay twenty-six cents for, is now almost four dollars. It is the same gallon of gas today as it was forty years ago. However, the value of the dollar relative to that gallon of gas has decreased fifteen times during since then.

This inflation is, in effect, an additional tax that we pay each time we purchase something. It exists because it is needed to pay the interest on the national debt.

Speaking of taxes, it is interesting to note that the Internal Revenue Service, which started using Form 1040 in the same year the Fed began (1913), is now considered to be nothing more than a collections agency for The Fed.

Some writers say this was the original design. While I have not yet found any “official documentation” for this, it is obvious that since all tax dollars are going to pay the interest on the national debt, collecting for The Fed has become the effective role of the IRS.

Those who, like me, have taken the time to study this situation have concluded that the only long-term solution is the reboot of the whole global monetary system.

This means we do away with a debt-based currency that uses notes (debt instruments) as cash and we go to a system based on assets, including gold, silver, and commodities.

This means the end of The Fed and the IRS as we currently know it.

It means a complete jubilee that includes the forgiveness of all debt. (Numerous people have asked me if all debt has to be forgiven before we begin the new system. As an accountant, I can assure you that it does if we are going to practice integrity. Debt is the root of the money problem.)

This idea of a financial reboot has been bantered about quite a bit over the past several months. However, those in the positions of power have not yet demonstrated the courage to step forth and implement it.

Therefore, we teeter on the edge, waiting to see what is next.

What can we do to help this process along?

Some people are espousing the idea of creating a global shutdown starting June 18. Their idea is to stop paying all bills. I understand the logic. However, I’m not convinced it is the peaceful response.

I believe the peaceful response is as follows.

  1. Practice the philosophy of Living Within The Gift. I explain that idea on this page with a free video and an eBook.
  2. Understand the current financial system is debt-based and is, therefore, unsustainable. It must change to an asset-based system to become sustainable.
  3. Selectively share this information with other people so that when the change takes place, and it will happen, either through the system imploding or a proactive change, those people will be prepared to transition peacefully.

Tomorrow, I will continue this series by looking at how accurate information is important for a peaceful transition.

The Courage to Think Differently

May 29, 2012 in Opinion, World

This article is part two of a five-part series on how we can make a peaceful transition into a peaceful world.

For the purposes of this discussion, I am using this definition.

A peaceful world is one where each person is free to experience life and liberty without depriving another person of these attributes.

This link takes you to an article where I introduce this series and explain my definition.

This link takes you to part one of the series.

Life and liberty includes the freedom to explore ideas. The barrier to this is persecution for thinking outside the norm.

I recently had a conversation with my friend Eddie.

Eddie is intelligent. He has an assortment of college degrees. He thinks creatively and wears a multitude of hats. I found the conversation fascinating.

Based on the intensity of Eddie’s participation, I believe he was equally fascinated.

About halfway through our chat, Eddie surprised me.

He began to label me.

He told me I was a Utopian. He said this as if it were a bad thing.

I asked what he meant by that.

He said, “A Utopian is one who believes he knows what is best for society. He believes in it so much he is willing to implement it by force.”

He gave me some examples from history that didn’t turn out so well.

I explained that force is never a peaceful response so I wasn’t that.

A little later, Eddie said I was a Progressive. Again, he said this as if it were a bad thing.

Again, I asked what he meant by that.

He said, “A Progressive believes the world is steadily improving. Therefore, he won’t look at the obvious problems we are facing.”

I explained that I believe we are headed towards peace. However, I am aware that we have severe problems. For example, the current financial system is on the verge of collapse, especially in Europe and the United States.

Eddie labeled me because he didn’t have anything in his large mental database that fit my way of thinking. This puzzled him so, instead of thinking outside the box, he attempted to put me into a box he already understood.

I wouldn’t let him do that. In fact, I finally asked Eddie to quit attempting to label me and to listen to what I was saying, without any preconceived ideas.

At that point, the scales fell from Eddie’s eyes and the conversation was able to progress.

New IdeaMy conversation with Eddie reminded me of the difficulty of explaining new ideas, especially if those ideas are unlike anything we have previously encountered. Those new ideas are often labeled, based on a person’s previous experiences. Eddie’s labeling of me caused him to believe I was dangerous because my ideas resembled ideas he thought were dangerous to society.

Fortunately, I was able to help Eddie realize what he was doing and we were able to finish our conversation and remain friends.

My conversation with Eddie is a microcosm of the situation we face today.

Obviously, a peaceful world is different from the world we have today. Therefore, to experience a peaceful transition, we must think differently than we do today.

We can no longer fall into the habit of labeling someone because something they say resembles something else. This making of assumptions prevents progress. It holds us in old paradigms. It prevents us from exploring pure potential.

My experience with Eddie was new.

I experienced it fifteen years ago when I first began to realize that my thirty-five year religious practice no longer worked for me. I could see the deep-rooted flaws in the system. I knew that if I changed my belief system, I would be persecuted by family and friends. They would abandon me. They would think I had lost my way. They would be careful of their future exchanges with me.

This is exactly what happened.

And, before all of those things have happened, they did something else.

They labeled me.

Fifteen years later, I can easily see the fear that allowed them to label me and subsequently write off their relationship with me.

They are afraid of the investment needed to learn something new. They are afraid of discovering they were wrong to have me as a friend. They are afraid of being wrong in their current thinking.

Therefore, instead of considering new truths, they categorize them. They oppose them. They ostracize them.

They attempt to fit new ideas into old boxes. As Jesus said, they put new wine into old wineskins. This explodes the boxes and destroys the wineskins.

Our peaceful world requires a new way of thinking. It requires us to use new wineskins for the new ideas. We shouldn’t be surprised if these wineskins are shaped differently.

After all, in a world of pure potential, anything is possible.

Scientific laws may be broken. Old standards of morality may go out the window. Everything we once thought to be true may be shattered.

Many people are threatened by the above paragraph. YOU may feel threatened by the above paragraph.

I invite you to consider the following. Current scientific laws, moral standards, and belief systems have resulted in the world we have today. Therefore, to have a new world something must change. Most likely, it will be some of those laws, standards, and beliefs.

To have a different world, we must accept pure potential. This requires us to realize that it is possible our current ideas about very important things are inaccurate. When we become aware of this possibility, we allow ourselves to explore radically new ideas. I suspect these ideas are exactly what we need as we move through a peaceful transition.

I suggest we start today.

Here is what we can do:

  1. Recognize that a peaceful world is different from the world we have today. Therefore, we must think differently to create it.
  2. Realize that much of what we have been taught about our world is based on old information and old ways of thinking. There is much new information available that needs consideration.
  3. Explore new ideas and understand they will be different from what we have been led to believe in the past.  This is not a threat. It is a great opportunity.

Tomorrow, I will continue this series by looking at how a fair method of trade is essential in our peaceful transition.

Resources for Dreams

May 28, 2012 in Spirituality, World

This article begins a five-part series on how we can make a peaceful transition into a peaceful world. For the purposes of this discussion, I am using this definition.

A peaceful world is one where each person is free to experience life and liberty without depriving another person of these attributes.

This link takes you to an article where I introduce this series and explain my definition.

DreamsLife and liberty include having the resources to pursue your dreams. The barrier to this is the perception that the resources are hoarded by a few people.

I believe that understanding and fulfilling dreams are why we come into life. I believe this so strongly that I devoted much of the past fifteen years of my life to explaining this process. I have written books, recorded videos, and created seminars.

The summation of this work is Complete Peace of Mind Training. I believe this training is so essential that I allow you to choose the price you wish to pay to receive it. I don’t want price to be an obstacle to someone who wishes to benefit from the material. The material is intense. It is fun. It consists of more than ten hours of videos, a textbook, and a workbook.

It explains how to identify your dreams, including what I call your “Major Desire” or “Life Purpose.” Then, it describes how to fulfill those dreams by attracting the people and acquiring the resources necessary to do so.

Because it has been my experience and the experience of my clients, I genuinely believe that anyone may have the resources necessary to pursue his or her dreams. However, many people believe acquiring resources is more challenging in our current society because these resources are hoarded by a few people.

Let’s look closer at the concept of hoarding.

Hoarding is an acquired habit built upon a scarcity consciousness.

If an individual perceives he does not have something, he can respond with one of two thoughts.

  1. There is not enough in the world for me to have what I need.
  2. I don’t need what I think I need. I need something else.

The idea of hoarding comes from the first choice.

Once a person thinks there isn’t enough, he watches for opportunities to get his share. He comes up with a way to acquire what he didn’t get. Then, when he gets one, he puts it aside and gets another… and another… and another.

Pretty soon, he has more than he needs and possibly more than he will ever need. In fact, he may not even have a current need for one. However, because he didn’t have it that one time and, he thinks there isn’t enough in the world for him to have what he needs, he acquires several and saves them.

My observation is that hoarders are often the poorest people because they have acquired a stockpile of useless items. Obviously, hoarders contribute to the scarcity problem by amassing items that they don’t need and that others would benefit from using.

Some hoarders exchange getting resources for fulfilling the dream. Others give up the dream because they think it is too difficult to acquire the resources necessary to fulfill it.

The peaceful response to not having something is choice number two. This includes recognizing the universal “Conspiracy for Me.” This conspiracy orchestrates events for my benefit. Therefore, when I don’t have what I think I need, this is a sign that I don’t yet need that item.

It is a signal that I may need to change my plans, alter direction, or refine my vision.

In addition, it could mean that I need to adjust my ideas about ownership.

If you look closely, you see that I didn’t include property ownership in my definition of a peaceful world. Life, liberty, and property usually go together when we talk about individual rights. Why would I leave it out?

The reason is simple.

Our concept of ownership produces most of the conflict in today’s world. It creates attachments and responsibilities that often are not in our best interest. As I said earlier, some people actually substitute property ownership for their dream.

It is interesting to note that many creators of wealth do not own it. They responsibly control and manage it for their benefit. If a wealthy person is also wise, he controls and manages his wealth for the benefit of humanity as a whole.

Some might say that wealthy people are hoarders, preventing the rest of us from having access to those resources. In some cases, this may be a correct assessment.

In other cases, wealthy people are looking for opportunities to share these resources with those who are actively pursuing their dreams. They are not hoarding. They are controlling until someone else can use them.

I believe that, as we cross the threshold to the peaceful world, we will experience the golden age forecast by many spiritual disciplines. This new world will allow each person to have the resources to fulfill his or her dreams.

This will be made possible as resources are released by those who have them so that those with dreams may pursue them.

You may start your peaceful transition today by doing the following:

  1. Identify and pursue your dreams.
  2. Trust that the resources will appear.
  3. Understand that the timing of the resources is one of the signs on the road to dream fulfillment.
  4. Share resources that you control with other people to help them fulfill their dreams.
  5. Recognize that sharing resources is part of fulfilling your dreams.

Tomorrow, I will continue this series by looking at how new ideas are important in our peaceful transition.

A Peaceful World

May 27, 2012 in Future, Spirituality

I have spent quite a bit of time over the past few days considering the definition of a peaceful world. Each time I thought I had the description nailed down, I would hear all of the naysayers who have made arguments for war, for slavery, for a debt economy. I would start writing about those viewpoints This was a good exercise. It didn’t create my definition.

Then, I would begin to think about the logistics of getting from here to there. I would write about how to make a specific change or how to overcome a certain obstacle. When I realized I again was not identifying my definition, I reminded myself this isn’t about the “how.” It is about the “what.” What is the vision for a peaceful world? This must be defined before we can think about how to get there.

I considered taking ideas from the United States Constitution. Then, I remembered that some legal authorities have pointed out that this revered document was not intended to serve everyone. The rights listed there were only available to white males. They didn’t apply to Native Americans, Black slaves, and women.

Peaceful WorldA peaceful world must be peaceful for everyone.

I explored the idea of common law as a basis for a peaceful world. And, even though common law is much better than the legal system we have today, the concept of property ownership, as defined by common law, produces a great deal of conflict.

We can do better.

All of those thoughts bounced through my mind for days as I attempted to define a peaceful world.

Finally, I came up with this:

A peaceful world is one where each person is free to experience life and liberty without depriving another person of these attributes.

This is a definition I am comfortable using in my prayer and mediation.

It describes the “what” in a way we can identify with and remember.

In addition, it opens the door for us to explore the “how” of making the Peaceful Transition.

Life and liberty includes the following:

  1. Resources to pursue dreams
  2. Freedom to explore ideas
  3. Fair, asset-based method of trade
  4. Accurate information systems
  5. Love-based relationships

Our current world has barriers to life and liberty. They include:

  1. Resources hoarded by a few
  2. Persecution for thinking outside the norm
  3. Debt-based method of trade
  4. Censored media and educational systems
  5. Need-based relationships

I will use future articles to write about each item in the above lists, explaining how we can overcome the barriers on the second list and describing how we can transition to practicing the actions on the first list.

In the meantime, I invite you to join me in using this definition in your meditation and prayer as part of our team of 8400 people for a Peaceful Transition. If you haven’t already, you may join the Peaceful Transition Group on Facebook to learn more about this tangible way of changing our world.

Depriving Liberty

May 26, 2012 in United States

I believe peace is only possible if we change the current legal system. This change will be concurrent with changing many other systems including our financial, educational, medical, and technological systems.

I said yesterday that I would begin painting a picture of what our world will look like after those changes.

I will do that.

However, there is a time-sensitive topic that I need to focus on today.

I start with a comment left on an article from a couple days ago.

Constitution BurningFellow blogger, Elisheva Levin, reminded me that I had left out the word “liberty” when I described common law as allowing each person unrestricted actions provided “he or she does not harm the life or property of another person.”

She wrote, “To restrict someone’s liberty is to restrict her ability to make important choices that sustain life and allow her the benefit accrued by the use of her property. One might say that to restrict liberty could well deprive a person of both property and life.”

The rest of her comment is worth reading. I encourage you to take a moment to review what she said. Here is the link.

Elisheva’s words are especially relevant when we consider what has happened with Bill Brockbrader, aka Bill Wood, over the past few days.

He has been deprived of liberty.

He has been arrested on federal charges.

Bill says his charges arise from a law that was enacted in 2006 and then applied retroactively to a 1998 charge. If this is accurate, the current charge violates the basic principles of common law. It also violates the constitution.

Bill claims he was found innocent in state court and now plans to establish his innocence in federal court. He intends to fight the charges in an effort to establish a path that others can use to fight unconstitutional charges.

You can hear the story for yourself in this YouTube video. Bill participates via phone from where he is incarcerated.

There are several interesting tidbits about this story.

In Bill’s earlier interviews, he explained that he faced court-martial while he was a Navy Seal. Even though he was sentenced, he was given the option to continue his job of bombing soft targets in Iraq or serving his sentence. He chose his job.

Bill goes on to imply that he was told he could live a normal life after his military career as long as he didn’t talk about his experiences. However, if he began to talk about what he knew regarding the internal workings of the Navy Seals, his paranormal training, and his experience with looking into the future via Looking Glass technology, he would be subject to harassment and possible arrest.

He remained hidden and quiet for several years until he was contacted by what he calls “member of the White Hats.” They vetted him and, when he passed the test, they promised to watch his back in exchange for him being a spokesperson for them.

This promised protection gave him the courage to come forward and share his story. He started by doing a couple of interviews with Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot. He continued by doing shows with Wolf Spirit Radio and producing his own YouTube videos.

Reaction to his work ranged from overwhelmingly positive to harsh personal attacks. Even though I haven’t written about most of the drama, I have closely followed the story.

With Bill’s arrest, it seems the White Hats may have let him down.

Bill says otherwise.

He says his White Hat contact told him as soon as the arrest warrant existed. At that point, Bill debated between fleeing into Canada, living underground, and fulfilling his role as spokesperson or facing the charges.

As I said earlier, he believes he can do more good for the peaceful transition by fighting the charges and creating a legal path for others to follow in combating unconstitutional issues.

He waited to be arrested.

An arrest warrant doesn’t necessary mean that one is instantly arrested. However, in Bill’s case, Federal Marshalls took him into custody within twenty-four hours of Bill learning about the warrant.

It appears that someone has the intent to silence Bill, even if doing so involves violating constitutional rights by depriving him of his liberty.

Reverberations From Yesterday

May 25, 2012 in Opinion, United States

ReverberationThe reverberations of yesterday’s article hung around all day. They spurred an email exchange with a former Federal Prosecutor. They became the center of last night’s conversation as friends and family joined me for dinner. They showed up in comments that readers sent to me privately because they didn’t want to post for public review.

The topic of “Unnatural Law” resonated with people from all walks of life.

I’ve noticed this for a while.

A mechanical engineer, recently retired from decades of government employment, had raised the subject with me earlier this week. A couple of school teachers volunteered their thoughts on the topic a week earlier.

Everyone I come in contact with is aware of how our legal system is broken. It is obvious it will not allow a peaceful society because it is designed to confuse.

As I said yesterday, the unnatural law philosophy allows fractional banking. It encourages financial practices like co-signing a loan for your unemployed alcoholic cousin who has a gambling problem.

In addition, it encourages destructive medical practices, poor educational techniques, and skewed media reporting.

Anyone who is paying attention sees the challenge in front of us.

During my conversations, I often ask if anyone thinks it is possible to fix the current situation.

The responses are the same.

No, the current system can’t be fixed and here is why:

  • It is too a vague to understand.
  • It is corrupt at its core.
  • It has too much ambiguity.
  • It is unsustainable.

Then, I ask the next question, “What do we do about it?”

The answers fall into two categories.

The first group believes in some version of what I call “The Abundance Plan” (TAP). This is a schedule of events, announced by “insiders” Benjamin Fulford, David Wilcock, Bill Woods, and Drake, that includes mass arrests of financial and political leaders, currency collapse, bank holiday while a new currency is brought online, and a subsequent golden age.

Some believe this includes the help of ETs and other heavenly beings.

This second group thinks there is no solution and the current system will eventually fail completely. When it does, society will go to “hell in a hand basket.” This will usher in civil war or rioting or martial law or even intergalactic war. They believe it is inevitable this will happen and the only goal we have today is to postpone this failure as long as possible.

Therefore, they oppose TAP because it will accelerate the system’s failure. They see the positive attributes of TAP as just wishful thinking.

What is the peaceful response?

I believe it is to take the energy we feel from last weekend’s reboot of the planetary grid and use it to create and hold a vision of a peaceful transition.

I wrote a few days ago that, according to Gregg Braden’s research, it only takes 8400 people participating in focused prayer or meditation to create change for a world population of seven billion people.

In response to that article, Sheri Cox started a Facebook Group for the purpose of finding 8400 people who will commit to holding this vision. A few people have joined.

I invite you to join and to invite others to do the same. (Use this link to go there now.) Our intent is to focus on peace with the belief than when we reach that number of 8400 people, we will see a peaceful transition take place.

Starting with tomorrow’s article, I will paint a picture of what I believe that peace will look like so we may use it as a focal point in our meditation and prayer.

Unnatural Law

May 24, 2012 in Finance, United States

I believe that books, like people, come via Divine Appointments. Therefore, when a book arrives, I place it in my research stack. Reading each book is part of following the daily signs in my life.

This past weekend, the signs indicated it was time to read a couple of eBooks that had come to me through readers who thought I might be interested in the material.

Legal systemThose books explained the methodology of our current legal system.

It is the same methodology that guides many of our religious systems.

It is the same methodology that creates, possibly by design, the confusion that permeates our world, especially our financial system

I am familiar with this confusion because I grew up in a religious system that established absolutes and then, created exceptions for them. (I explain how I resolved this for me in Session 1 of Complete Peace of Mind Training. You may watch the free 51 minute video here.)

Now, as I observe the legal and financial systems, I recognize the same techniques there.

I believe it is important to illuminate these techniques – as I said yesterday, fulfill my role of being a “crap illuminator” – so that we can understand how to respond peacefully to the world in which we live.

Here is what I learned from my weekend’s reading:

There is common law and there is everything else. For the sake of this discussion, I’ll call everything else “unnatural law.”

Common law is “The Natural Order of Things.” It presupposes a natural order where independence and freedom are honored. Common law is simple. Each person’s actions are unrestricted provided he or she does not harm the life or property of another person.

Common law has few rules. It is easy to understand. Therefore, absolutes are possible. This provides clarity.

Unnatural law is built upon earthly organizational structures. It is authoritarian. It has lots of rules. Since these rules are written by different organizations, with different agendas, they often contradict each other. This produces confusion.

Unfortunately, unnatural law is the legal system we use today. Some historians say that this system grew out of what some call Law Merchant, a system of agreements made between merchants that regulated their private trade.

(If you want to know more, I encourage you to do an internet search for “law merchant” or “merchant law”.)

These agreements worked their way into the legal system and have been applied to non-merchant issues. Thus, they are “unnatural.”

Unnatural law is to the legal system as The Fed and fiat currency is to the financial system.

Unnatural law can be manipulated by those who hold legal power. The absence of absolutes allows for a pliable system, malleable to the whims of those who think they know best. This creates a world where the enforcing of some laws requires the breaking of other laws.

Fiat currency can be manipulated by those who hold banking power. The absence of an asset base allows for a pliable system, malleable to the whims of those who think they know best. This creates a financial system where we use labor to acquire notes to pay loans to acquire assets.

In fact, one can make a case that fiat currency is only possible because unnatural law exists.

Each system is complex. Each creates confusion. Each produces unresolved conflict.

These are systems that must change if we are to live peacefully.

I’ll continue this thought in tomorrow’s article.

Moving From Spiritual To Physical

May 23, 2012 in Opinion, Spirituality

When a planetary grid reboots in the spiritual realm – what some would call another dimension – it takes a while for things to reboot in the physical realm.

CreationQuantum physicists tell us this has to do with space and time. The spiritual realm is another dimension. Therefore, space and time, as dimensional attributes, behave differently in the spiritual realm. This makes it possible for things to happen in the spiritual realm before they arrive in the physical realm.

Those who understand this wait patiently. We hold space. We visualize. We practice manifesting.

Those who don’t understand this believe spiritual teachings are bunk. We need physical proof. We need something we can see, a story we can relate to, something irrefutable.

I often find myself with a foot in each camp.

I have had enough prior spiritual experiences to understand that it takes a while for things to go from the spiritual realm into the physical.

Yet, every time something new happens in the spiritual realm, I want to see it jump into the physical. I want proof.

I wrote yesterday that Sunday’s reboot influenced everyone. I genuinely believe this. I see evidence of it everywhere I look.

Of course, it is possible that this evidence is more about my perception than what other people are experiencing.

Therefore, I desire more proof.

I desire to see our world reboot.

I desire to see the financial world change.

I desire to see true freedom experienced.

I desire something irrefutable.

I have considered putting aside these desires.

After all, now that the reboot has happened, it would be easy to drift into writing about spiritual topics all of the time. I could go into my heart, my spirit, my imagination and write about what I sense in the ethereal parts of me.

However, because I have chosen to live in this physical plain, there is more that I must consider. I must look at the physical happenings. I must explore financial change. I must speak out for true freedom.

This includes finding physical proof for the reboot.

As I look around me today, I see that perspectives have changed. The spiritual reboot happened, old memories were cleared, and offenses were forgotten.

In spite of this, the physical problems remain. World leaders met over the weekend and no one really knows what they discussed. Global economic issues loom and we are left to ponder potential solutions. Do our leaders have a plan?

Mainstream media reports skirt the most important issues and alternative media reports are speculative at best.

Over the past several days, I have debated which direction to take my writing. Do I continue to look at newsy issues, what some would call conspiratorial, and write about things that are new discoveries to me? Or, do I take my writing in a more spiritual direction?

My answer came in a post by a spiritual blogger. He was talking about the reboot when he said, “I felt was that this whole process also had to do with assisting with the alignment of the so-called “Light Workers” who are currently incarnated here. This includes those who might be called the “Crap Illuminators”. They can be just as important for these times as the other “Light Workers”. Especially if they can stay out of the “world is going to hell” interpretations.”

As I read that I thought, “That’s me. I’m a “Crap Illuminator.”" I stumble across things that make me go “hmmmm” and write about them. I have great hope for the world. I don’t believe the world is going to hell. I believe we will see great change in the near future.

However, I cannot ignore what I encounter today.

To write about physical issues from a spiritual perspective, one must sometimes illuminate the crap so that perspective can be given.

I will continue to do this.

Part of my experience during the reboot was to research how we got here. As the Moon moved between the Earth and the Sun, I discovered information that provided a great deal of insight to me.

I’ll share that starting tomorrow.

Reboot Observations

May 22, 2012 in Future, Spirituality

When I first heard about the idea of a reboot of the planetary grid, I had my doubts.

A reboot seemed pretty dramatic. Would the world be completely different afterwards? Would we wake up and discover nothing was the same as the night before? I didn’t know what a reboot looked like so I couldn’t define it.

Therefore, I doubted it.

Yesterday, I realized something had changed. However, since I hadn’t thought through it, I didn’t identify it.

After all, what is a reboot of the planetary grid?

As I thought about the answer to this question, I thought about how we reboot a computer system.

I went back in time to several years ago when I assisted a local company with their computer network. The version of Windows they used didn’t clear the memory cache when they closed a program and the employees never turned off their slightly outdated CPUs at the end of the day. Therefore, over time, each computer’s memory cache became overloaded. This caused a wide array of problems for each user as the system speed decreased to a crawl.

The solution was simple. Turn off everything, wait a couple of minutes, and then turn on everything. This cleared the memory cache and gave the system room to operate again.

Solar Eclipse RebootSaid another way, we rebooted the computers.

Upon completion of the reboot, the computers looked like they did beforehand. The same software was installed on the same hardware. The desktop background didn’t change.

The only thing different was that the memory cache had been cleared. Unneeded stuff had been forever erased so the computer could work easily, without the extra baggage.

As I considered how we “fixed” those computers, I saw the comparison to what we experienced over the weekend.

Other people are saying the same thing.

I believe there was a “reboot” from last night’s solar eclipse dancing with the New Moon. Those two forces are powerful activators for change. I woke up very early feeling refreshed and ready to jump back into life. It’s been a long time since I was able to do that. I believe the very air itself changed last night. Or is it, perhaps, my vision that has changed?

Kristina

I don’t even feel a need for justice any more. Just the removal of dark entities and subsequent release of technologies would be enough for me. Let the light shine in…

Trish

Everything is suddenly easier for me. I believe that is what 2012 is all about. Now, I realize things are supposed to be easy. I don’t have to work so hard at projects. I don’t have to work so hard at making money.

Paul

One gentleman claims he was actively involved in removing darkness from the planet. This link takes you to his story.

As I look around me, I see that things appear the same. I see the same software operating on the same hardware. I see the same background pictures.

However, it is easier to function because baggage has been released.

Memories have been erased.

Offenses have been forgotten.

As I said yesterday, news stories have lost their intensity. In fact, I am having trouble finding stories that need a response.

At first, I doubted the reboot.

Then, I assumed spiritual people would feel it.

Now, I’ve noticed that life has become easier for everyone around me, even those who don’t consider themselves to be spiritual.

Apparently, a reboot happened and it influenced everyone.
