WE WILL BE FINE

 

It is a good day! The news out of Alabama is great sigh of relief. My hay man is coming this afternoon. It is cloudy out, but not too cold, 24.8 F.

I shouldn't say what I am going to blog about. I said Monday that I would talk about the economy today. I don't want to. I don't know anything. The people I rely on for economic news state logically why we are on the edge of a precipice. When and if we tip over is the question.

Economist are all over the map on that question and even more over the map on the best way to deal with it. They vary from the uber-logical to the hysterical. They generally tout there past success at prediction. One needs to have a good BS detector. Some say get out of cash. Some say invest in cash. Some say real estate is the best investment, others say to be shy of real estate. Some say gold is where it is at, others say its a no no. If you follow their reasoning, they are all right according to how they see the situation playing out. The problem is we have only the past to predict how the scenario will play out.

My best guess is we are going to experience crash of the current global monetary system and a re-issuance of a currency based on gold. To get a picture of our current fragile situation. I would recommend you read James Howard Kunstler's blog, “Clusterfuck Nation.” It will give you a good perspective of what is happening. Don't expect to agree with everything he thinks. He blogs on Mondays and Fridays. His last couple have been focused on the economy.

I would like to be able to give people a timely heads up. I can't. I don't think things will be the same a year from now, but I thought that before. Kunstler will help you see the bigger picture.

I think the consciousness of the common person has raised to the point where no calamity will bring us down. We know how to care for each other. I think there are forces at all levels of society who have felt something coming and are ready to step in as our current institutions crumble.

If we keep in mind that this is always a choice between love and fear, oneness or separation and always keep our faces turned to the light, we will be the benefactors of a crumbling world not the victims. All that is required is that we make all our decisions with love. Is that so hard?

We have explored separation to the nth degree. It is time for it to end. We see the collapse everywhere. We can help by not being seduced by ideas that cause division and promote judgement. Be careful of causes. They may sound right up our alley, but do they invite judgement? Do they cause us to look down on others? Beware of feeling righteous, that is a sure sign we are contributing to separation. In these uncertain times we are all wrong much of the time. Some of us are more in error than others. Error just points out that we haven't discovered how lovable and loving we can be.

Let's keep shining our light. We will get through this. We are remarkable beings.

Love and Peace, Gregg
