Lessons for the Future Republic

J.B. Shurk – Victor Davis Hanson and Dennis Prager are keen observers of American society. Like honored physicians who examine the body politic for disease, they expertly diagnose what ails our country. What they say and write matters. It is significant, then, when both reach the conclusion that the United States is disintegrating.

In an essay entitled “American Paralysis and Decline,” Hanson begins by quoting Roman historian Livy: “We can bear neither our diseases nor their remedies.” He then walks us through America’s open border crisis, unsustainable debt, epidemic of crime, and weaponization of the criminal justice system.

How To Master Your Financial Destiny

Life in itself is an empty canvas; it becomes whatsoever you paint on it.
You can paint misery, you can paint bliss. This freedom is your glory.” ~Osho

BeautyWaterNatureTreeJafree Ozwald  ~ I remember many times in my life I believed I was not “destined” for great things. My mind was trained to entertain ideas like, “Making money was for fools, and that money was the root of all evil.” Sure enough, I manifested some pretty frustrating financial situations from these negative beliefs. At one point I felt so financially stuck that it felt like I was constantly drowning from the inside. Every morning it seemed I was swimming in some frantic financial “doggie-paddle” just to stay afloat and pay the bills to get by.

Then it happened one day in mid-paddle… I surrendered to my drowning experience and realized something deeply profound. I was creating everything. I understood that I was the one choosing how I related with my financial situation. I saw that had a choice in how I approached my feelings about money. I realized that I could simply invent a NEW relationship with it, one that was based on freedom, abundance and self-worth. I could decide to stop letting myself feel this feeling of struggling to survive. Continue reading

5 Tips For Thriving In ‘The Matrix’

“Develop an acceptance of what is and operate from there. This will save you a LOT of frustration, wasted energy, lost opportunities and ultimately your sanity!” -Free Spirit

You can have an amazing and abundant life free from enslavement to the Matrix once you realize how the Matrix got there in the first place as well as how your thoughts and feelings create your reality in every moment. You are the Master of your own Manifestation and your choices have the power to free or enslave you – as you choose. At first glance – life seems unfair and you may think that you are stuck in a system that is out to consume you. One one level – this is true – but this is not the only reality that you can experience.

The world is a maze of lies. Finding the truth is a major work and not so easy to discern. The whole system has been created to enslave you to an agenda based upon false ideals. Understand that the whole system is ‘death-affirming’ and it will destroy you if you do not take steps to free yourself. If you want an amazing life of abundance free of the ‘Matrix’ you will need to stay ahead of the lies. Question everything you have been told. Do not take any control BS. Say Yes to your own truth and No to anything in the outer that wants your subservience to the system. It will be tricky as you will have tax obligations and the like to honour. You will always have some obligation to the system – the key is to be in the world but not of it. Do not lose your self-identity to it nor give power to its lies.

If you want to experience freedom and thrive within the Matrix – here are five useful things to remember:-

  1. You Are Responsible For Your Life and thus your relationship with the Matrix.
