Freedom Club USA - The Truth About Money

Our Divine Birthright

Money

"I choose to release all my financial limitations from my DNA, childhood and adult experiences and replace this with incredible prosperity and abundance flowing easily and naturally into my life. I store this morphic belief in my upper right mind to draw upon at any time for my highest good and each time I use it, it becomes exponentially stronger and more powerful."

Rev Tom

"The biggest, most unquestioned answer of our culture is our relationship with money. It is there that we keep alive--at a high cost--the flame and mythology of scarcity."
-- Lynne Twist

"The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists."
— Ernest Hemingway, September 1932

"You Cannot Have a Universe Without Mind Entering Into It... Whatever it is You're Feeling is a Perfect Reflection of What is in the Process of Becoming... What You Focus on With Thought and Feeling is What You Attract into Your Universe... It's Law"

Whether you realize it or not, you have a relationship with money that YOU are constantly molding. Money is a neutral resource to which you give power. Your patterns with money are dictated by your beliefs, feelings and language about money.

Money will either reward you or cause great struggles in your life. It is up to you to tell money what you want it to do. It seems that most people do the following two things that create financial lack:

1. They keep talking about how much money they don’t have and how they will probably never have enough. Some of the most popular phrases are:

“I can’t afford it.”
“I don’t have enough money.”
“I will never have enough.”
“I have too many bills.”
“I are always falling short.”
“The economy is weak.”

2. They keep focusing on how much money is flowing out and create the emotions of distress and fear. Whatever we focus on, we create more of. However we feel about any aspect of our lives, we draw more of that experience into our lives. If we keep focusing with powerful negative emotions on all the money flowing out, we give more & more power to money leaving and very little power to money flowing in.

What this looks like in reality is more events occurring in your life that cost you additional money such as repairs, health bills, accidents, and compulsive spending. One way to reverse all of this is:

Change your language. Start talking about how there is enough money and that you are grateful for receiving your share. Say things such as:

“I am grateful for all the money that is coming my way.”
“I am grateful for what I have now.”
“I am grateful that I am a wise steward of money.”
“I am grateful all my bills are paid in full.”
“There is enough and I am ok.

Start putting your focus on money flowing to you with the emotion of gratitude. What would it “feel” like to have enough and more? What would it “look” like? What would it “sound” like in your family and marriage? What would you say to each other different from what you are saying now? What would it “taste” like?

Falling Dollar

Ron Pauls "Honest Money Act" HR 2756

Why the U.S. Wants the Dollar to Fail

Today's comment is by Jack Crooks, Editor of World Currency Options and President of Black Swan Capital.

Dear A-Letter Reader,

Imagine that you have US$2.8 trillion sitting around. And for kicks, let's assume that most of that money, about two-thirds, is invested in U.S. dollars and other dollar-denominated assets like U.S. Treasury bonds.

And let's assume that your currency was linked to the U.S. dollar, too. In other words, you often buy dollars to maintain a stable value relative to the buck.

As long as the dollar is doing okay, there's no problem. But what if it's falling, as it has been over the last few years?

You might decide to no longer peg your currency to the dollar. That solves the problem of tying your monetary policy to a boulder rolling downhill.

Of course, your decision also means your US$2.8 trillion in dollar-denominated assets will get hammered in the process!

Okay, you say, I can just sell off a lot of those assets to avoid the losses. The problem is that it's not easy to unload such a huge amount of investments without the market realizing what you're doing. And when they catch wind of your plan, they'll sell too. Thus, the price will fall even faster!

It's a real Catch 22. And you know what?

This Is Precisely the Situation China
And the Gulf States Find Themselves In!

Between them, China and the oil sheikdoms are sitting on an estimated US$2.8 trillion in reserves. It's all thanks to huge trade surpluses and massive oil revenues.

For the sheikdoms, their currencies are still pegged to the dollar, so their currencies depreciate right along with the U.S. dollar. Meanwhile China already pegged their currency to a “basket of currencies” in 2005, so the yuan isn’t completely dependent on the U.S. dollar.

But China still has a major dependence on the U.S. economy (not to mention all those dollars they still hold in reserve).

China doesn't want to kill the U.S. consumer. That would hurt its export growth, which is still the primary driver of the Chinese economy.

Meanwhile, the Gulf States - OPEC rhetoric aside - understand that any global financial turmoil created from a falling dollar will hurt their own investments and could mean lower prices for crude oil.

So, here's the US$2.8 trillion question: Will the Big Dog among the Gulf States (Saudi Arabia) and the Big Dog on the global economic stage (China) completely abandon the dollar?

I don't think so.

They have more to lose than gain if they cut their ties to the buck. It's simple self-interest! And I believe the U.S. Fed and Treasury know this. In fact, I believe they have an implicit policy in place to placate these Big Dogs. I'll get to that in a moment. First, I want to be clear on one important fact.

The Dollar's Decline Is Not Over
It Will Just Remain Orderly!

Even if China and Saudi Arabia don't abandon the dollar, as far as the markets are concerned, the very idea that they could is problem enough.

And until we witness a real fundamental improvement in the factors that are most important to the direction of the buck - economic growth and interest rates - these bad news scenarios will reign supreme.

You see, in the currency game, perceptions are what matter most.

So as you listen to the daily chitchat and read the flow of news concerning the dollar, keep in mind there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that we are not, and never will be, privy to.

The best you can do is piece together words and actions to discern implicit monetary policies. Consider all public statements by policymakers as either window dressing or efforts to subtly advance their predetermined policies.

Why on Earth Would the U.S.
Want the Dollar to Fall?

Here's how I think the current argument goes:

The U.S. wants nothing more than to keep global growth humming. In order for global growth to remain on track, they know that China has to keep going gangbusters.

And for China to continue thriving, they know that Mr. and Mrs. U.S. Consumer must continue shopping. That's because they're still the biggest buyers of China's exports.

Thus, everything still hinges on U.S. consumers!

The Fed knows that lowering interest rates is the best way to support domestic shoppers. Lower rates make it easier for people to keep borrowing and buying.

As happy side effects, those lower interest rates also:

Make money cheaper to borrow and readily available for investment speculation
Push the value of the dollar lower, which makes things like U.S. stocks look cheaper to foreign investors
Allow large multinational U.S. companies to translate foreign sales back into more dollars

The sum total of these three forces is that U.S. stocks are likely to go up. That's great since higher stocks also makes U.S. shoppers feel wealthier and more likely to spend, spend, spend.

Let me explain ...

We all know U.S. housing prices are falling off a cliff. That can have a major impact on consumer spending, as people who are losing money (even on paper) are less inclined to hit the mall.

BUT, the stock market is also rising and pushing up the value of just about every consumer's 401(k). That goes a long way toward making them feel better about their spending habits.

Voila! A rising stock market is an excellent way to counter the negative wealth effect from falling housing prices.

So, you see, lower interest rates and a lower dollar go hand in hand. What's more, they actually form a self-reinforcing cycle...precisely the kind of cycle that the U.S. wants right now.

Bottom Line: Your Money Gets Less Valuable,
But All the Big Dogs Stay Happy

China benefits as the U.S. consumer stays in the game.

Saudi Arabia benefits by selling more oil, at high prices, as global demand remains intact.

And the U.S. economy benefits as exports rise and its assets look increasingly cheap to international investors.

Who knows, one of these days, even U.S. real estate prices might look cheap to big investors holding euros, pounds, Australian or Canadian dollars.

Of course, in the meantime, the paper in your wallet will keep shrinking in value, and a lot of currencies will continue gaining against the greenback.

So the best strategy is staying on the side of the currencies that have the momentum. That's the best way to protect yourself throughout the dollar's orderly decline.

On Central Banking

"Whosoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce... And when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate."

James Garfield, US President

On the Gold Standard

"We shall answer their demand for a gold standard by saying to them: You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold."

William Jennings Bryant

=========================================

The Federal Reserve Act

"This act establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the president signs this bill, the invisible government by the Monetary Power will be legalized. The people may not know it immediately, but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed... The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking bill."

Rep. Charles Lindbergh 1913

=========================================

On the Federal Reserve System

"A super-state controlled by international bankers and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure."

Rep. Louis McFadden PA

=========================================

Bonds versus Dollars

"If our nation can issue a dollar bond, it can issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good, makes the bill good also. The differed between the bond and the bill is the bond lets money brokers collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%, whereas the currency pays nobody, but those who contribute directly in some useful way.
It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30 million in bonds and $30 million in currency. Both are promises to pay, but one promise fattens the usurers and the other helps the people."

Thomas Edison
==========================================

Power

"Power from any source tends to create an appetite for additional power... It was almost inevitable that the super-rich would one day aspire to control not only their own wealth, but the wealth of the whole world.

To achieve this, they were perfectly willing to feed the ambitions of the power-hungry political conspirators who were committed to the overthrow of all existing governments and the establishments of a central world-wide dictatorship."

ABUNDANCE IS OUR DIVINE BIRTHRIGHT

Abundance is our Divine Birthright, and circumstances are now perfect for us to reclaim our God-given heritage of prosperity.

In the 1980's, we reached into the depths of lack and limitation. People began to believe that America and the World were in a state of decline.

It was a very unique time on Earth, often a confusing and frightening time. Through the advancement of modern technology, we had instant Global communication, and we were constantly being informed of the extreme imbalances appearing on the screen of life. We saw lack and limitation manifesting everywhere. We saw hunger, homelessness and all manner of poverty. We heard dire reports of economic failure, such as the demise of the savings and loan companies and the crash of the stock market. The terms foreclosure, bankruptcy and recession became household words. Companies went out of business daily, and the jobless rate increased. There was a prevailing sense of uncertainty and fear that ran through all economic circles and the general public as well. This sense of fear created a consciousness of panic that caused people to cast caution to the wind, and the insidious influence of greed and selfishness tightened its paralyzing grip. When that occurred, integrity and social conscience were swept aside. The environment was ignored, and the well-being of Humanity and the Earth Herself were jeopardized in pursuit of the almighty dollar. From outer appearances it looked as if the economy was "going to hell in a hand basket," but nothing could have been further from the Truth.

In actuality, the negative patterns of poverty, greed, corruption, selfishness, etc., were being pushed to the surface in the 1980s by the increasing influx of God's Light. The Divine Intent was to create a catalyst that would shift Humanity's consciousness and motivate people into action. It seems as though we use pain as our greatest motivator, so as we experienced the full brunt of poverty, either personally or by observing the plight of others, millions of people were inspired to invoke the Light of God to transmute and heal the maladies of lack and limitation. As Awakening Humanity invoked Light into the dire situations surfacing in people's lives, we cleared the way for Prosperity Consciousness to be reborn.

Now we are witnessing the initial impulse of a Global economic boom. This boom has the potential of reaching a scale never before experienced. We are in a period of sustained growth that visionary economists perceive could double the World's economy every dozen years and bring prosperity to literally billions of people on Earth.

Just imagine, we are standing on the threshold of an economic explosion that will do much to solve the seemingly insurmountable problem of poverty and ease tensions throughout the World.

This phenomenon is not just a fluke. It is part of a Divine Plan that is being orchestrated by God and the entire Company of Heaven as They work in harmony and unison with Awakening Humanity. This plan has been gradually unfolding for millennia. The purging that took place throughout the economic world was a necessary, critical part of the planetary transformation that is now at hand.

For aeons of time the monetary system of the World has been abused. Instead of the natural exchange of give-and-take, based on the principle of always working toward the highest good for all concerned, the wealth of the World has been used by the elite few to manipulate, dominate, oppress and control the multitudes.

Money has been such a source of pain and suffering throughout history that religious orders in both Eastern and Western cultures considered money itself to be innately evil. They, thereby, denounced it and actually took vows of poverty. This action gave the Spiritual aspirants of the World the message that somehow poverty was a virtue. Interestingly, this belief system perpetuated the schism between the haves and the have-nots. It also created a phenomenon that intensified the abuse of money. The people who were truly seeking greater levels of Truth to improve the quality of life on the Planet and those who were genuinely striving toward Spiritual growth and self-mastery were being taught by the world religions that money was evil and should not be acquired. That belief left the money in the hands of those who were not pursuing the highest good for all, but rather pursuing the self-indulgent gratification of greed and power. Because the abuse of money has been the order of the day on Earth for literally millennia, we probably all have etheric records and memories of times when we either abused our wealth or when others used their wealth to abuse us. These etheric records vibrate at a subconscious level, but they can be very effective at repelling money away from us. In either case, whether we were the abused or the abuser, or on occasion both, the message was that money is a source of pain. It is very hard to get past that subconscious block and allow money into our lives when we keep associating money with pain.

This is truly a Cosmic Moment on Earth, a moment being referred to as the dawn of the Permanent Golden Age. In this dawning Age, it has been decreed by Divine Fiat that Heaven shall manifest on Earth. As you can well imagine, poverty, homelessness, lack and limitation do not exist in Heaven. Consequently, that means that they will not exist on Earth either when the transformation is complete. But what we must realize is that those maladies are not going to be eliminated because some one waves a wand and magically makes them disappear. They are going to be eliminated because you and I and every other person evolving on Earth learn to apply the Laws of Prosperity accurately and effectively in our lives.

At any given moment our environment is reflecting a sum total of our thoughts, words, actions, feelings and beliefs. The World at large is a reflection of Humanity's consciousness. The remaining negative experiences of lack and limitation occurring in our personal lives and in the Global economy are not the result of God punishing us for our past abuse of money as some are indicating. It is merely our own energy returning to us to allow us to experience the results of our actions. At this critical time of change, if there is any area in our lives in which we are not reaching our highest potential, it is being pushed to the surface in such a way that we don't have any choice but to face it and deal with it. We are no longer being allowed by our Higher Selves to stuff or deny our problems. Needless to say, poverty is a problem, and it is surfacing in the lives of those whose thoughts, words, actions and feelings are based in poverty consciousness. As long as we are comfortable, we are willing to stagnate forever, but when we experience a real crisis in our lives, we frantically try to alleviate it. We strayed from the original Divine Plan as far as money goes, but we are now clearing up our past mistakes and getting back on track.

The imbalance and failure of our economic system was brought to our awareness through the media so that we could clearly see the error of our ways of greed and selfishness. Now, through greater insight and understanding, we will create an economic system that reflects a reverence for ALL life and the highest good for all concerned.

Abundance is actually our natural state of Being. The supply of the Universe is limitless. When the Earth was created, God provided Humanity with everything we needed to abide in this verdant paradise of splendor, including the knowledge and wisdom to sustain a life of prosperity and abundance. It was only when we began to use our gift of free will to express thoughts and feelings that reflected a consciousness of less than prosperity that we began to experience lack and limitation.

We must remember that our thoughts are creative. Whatever we put our attention and energy into, whatever we think and feel, we bring into form. When Humanity began to express thoughts and feelings of fear and lack, these discordant vibrations began to reflect on the atomic substance of physical matter. Then, instead of the continual manifestation of the God Supply of all good things, we began to experience extreme imbalances and impoverishment. The Elemental Kingdom, which always reflect Humanity's consciousness, began to show signs of decay and degeneration. Floods, famines, droughts and pestilence became the order of the day. The people evolving on Earth observed the changes taking place, and they became more fearful and confused. This negative state of consciousness perpetuated even greater degrees of lack and scarcity. Thus, over eons of time, Humanity created a building momentum of poverty consciousness. We became deeply entrenched in the discordant thought forms of limitation. We observed the indigence of the outer world and accepted it as our natural state of Being. We forgot that we are co-creators in our Earthly experience. We lost the awareness that the things occurring in our lives are merely a reflection of our thoughts, words, feelings, actions and beliefs. Instead, we looked at the poverty of the World and tried to justify it by proclaiming it to be, of all things, God's Will. We felt victimized and tried to outsmart our so-called lot in life. We became conniving and deceitful. We believed that the only way we could have enough was to take things away from others. This attitude became the basis for war, crime, corruption, greed and selfishness. The momentum of poverty consciousness increased throughout the Ages, and day-by-day, we methodically sank into our present level of degradation.

If we will objectively observe the negative things occurring in the World, we will see that almost every single destructive expression of life is, in some way, reflecting a belief in lack and limitation and also reflecting the actions of greed and selfishness that naturally accompany that belief system. This material spiral into oblivion is now coming to an end. It is critical, for the survival of the Planet, that we stop our distorted acceptance of poverty and begin clearly and effectively developing a Consciousness of Prosperity. Poverty is in absolute opposition to the Divine Plan for the Earth and all of Humanity. Poverty cannot exist in the presence of Light, and the Earth is destined to be a Planet of Light.

Through the Power of God anchored in my Heart and within the Hearts of ALL Humanity, I invoke the Divine Flames of Gratitude and Acceptance. Precious Sacred Fire, blaze in, through and around every electron of my Being. Flood my consciousness with Gratitude for and the acceptance of God's Limitless Flow of Abundance.

I relinquish now, in the Name of God, all of the power I have ever given to lack and limitation through my thoughts, words, actions or feelings.

I relinquish now, in the Name of God, all of the beliefs I have ever had that are based in poverty consciousness.

In deep Humility and Gratitude, I consecrate and dedicate my very life to be the open door through which God's Limitless Abundance will flow to Bless me, my family, friends, co-workers and ALL Humanity.

As I think, speak, feel and act, the Presence of God within me is expanding God's Gift of Prosperity to all life evolving on Earth.

I AM an Awakened Light Being! I Gratefully accept God's Gift of Prosperity and Limitless Abundance!

And So It Is!

I AM! I AM! I AM!
