Personal Salvation During the Coming Economic Chaos – Part 4
Beginning with the creation of those wealth destroying entities called the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Income Tax—politicians, altruists, government bureaucrats and the establishment media have existed for one purpose—and one purpose only—to destroy the capitalistic system and “The American Way of Life.” And tragically they have succeeded quite well. As incredible as it […]
Personal Salvation During the Coming Economic Chaos - Part 3
In Part 1, I mentioned that you must avoid the social philosophy of altruism. In Part 2, I explained how irrational selfishness in others and yourself is detrimental to your success and happiness. During good times these cause much mischief and mark the beginning of social and personal decline. During the coming economic chaos they […]
Personal Salvation During the Coming Economic Chaos – Part 2
In Part 1 I discussed the destructiveness of social altruism and the pitfalls of personal altruism. Irrational selfishness ties in with altruism because altruists need irrationally selfish people.

If you are one of […]
The Cycles of Life – We Go Round and Round in the Circle Game
In one of the great songs about the cycles of life—a song that captures the feelings of the moment—Joni Mitchell wrote and sang:
“And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round […]
The Plight of the Enlightened and the Unenlightened – Resistance, Opposition and Higher Awareness
How difficult the search for truth and enlightenment can be. In fact the path can seem so impassable that many give up without further effort. An enlightened teacher may have hundreds or even thousands of students—but only a small percentage obtains a glimpse of all the possibilities that could unfold before them.
The physical world of […]
Ordinary and Non-Ordinary Reality – Higher Awareness
In Carlos Castaneda’s book “The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge” and his subsequent works he imparts much knowledge about the states of Ordinary and Non-Ordinary Reality. In the following I am supplying my interpretation of these states of knowing.
