The crescent moon balanced on the western horizon as I pulled into the drive after work on this year's 11/11.  After an hour or so of "homework", consisting of perusing various websites, checking stock/currency/PM markets, and reading a few articles, I'm ready to write.

What strikes me today is the amount of negativity involved in the markets and the participants of the financial game.  Helicopter Ben and his dogmatic inflation schemes seem to be creating havoc in worldwide commodity prices.  Things are out of balance.  Truth hides in the caverns of Oz.  Many of the most intelligent and experienced veterans are fully expecting a currency meltdown.  There is zero trust in the folks who are pulling the levers of the financial system.  Rather than focusing on the newborn phoenix rising from the ashes, folks seem to continue focusing on the crash and burn of the old paradigm.  And who can blame them,  IT SHOULD be interesting after all!

What is clear to me is that we need a new way of doing business on this planet.  Years ago I learned of a certain hamburger company having a long history of burning down rain forest in poorer South American countries in order to create plots of pasture for their cattle.  Since the country being raped was "poor" compared to the country in which this corporate giant postures in, the giant was (and still is) able to offer the product of this environmental tragedy (hamburgers) at a minimal cost in dollars.  The travesty brought to the locals and the planet is not factored into the price of the product.  Upon hearing this news, I vowed never to eat fast food again.  I have maintained that vow.  It was clear to me then, as it is now, that things WILL change, one way or another.  Another certain corporate giant proclaims, "Save money, Live better". What they fail to say is that the outsourcing of jobs to nation states which pay low wages allows them to undercut local community stores and artisan products.  This in turn leads to the destruction of self sufficient local economic communities.  This in turn leads to homogenization, an unhealthy condition in organic organisms, and one subject to attack and annihilation.  Perhaps this is the goal, but that is the subject for other blogs.

Helicopter Ben and his minions work very hard to keep a dying system alive.  Why do they bother?  Nature erases the mistakes of humankind, though it may take centuries.  A renaissance follows dark ages, and I expect there will be an amazing resurrection following this paradigm of paper profits and wizard of Oz corporate giants. But first the paradigm gives up the ghost.  Will it happen in our lifetimes?  I believe so.

I'm preparing a blog on True Wealth.  It will be a manifesto, and guide on moving forward in harmony and sanity. What follows the McParadigm is True Wealth.  We, as children of the Stars, sparks of Divinity, manifesters of conscious Will, deserve to create heaven on earth.  It is the promise, awaiting full realization here on Lady Gaia.  It will take a conscious, concerted, continuous effort to move into this reality.  But as has been proven by the 100th monkey principle, it will not take a majority to tip the scales.  Indeed, philosophers throughout the ages have spoken of the power in a strongly intentioned small community.  With the WWW and global communication, we have the power and potential right now to create this.  Who will the 100th monkey be?  Will it be that child that you smiled at in the grocery store today?

Life is good.  We are marching forward into this conscious evolution.  We are pushing onward in this spiritual revolution.  We are  moving towards full realization of our Godness.  We are shining bright lights to the places caught in darkness.  And we are not alone.  To those of you who choose to read this and hold the vision, I honor you.

Namaste.
