Before we begin I want to let everyone know I'm not a Dooms
Day-er, what I'm offering here is hope, real hope for surviving these hard times. I'm also not a fanatic living in some false sense of fear of something that doesn't yet exist. I keep changing the wording on my blog page cause humanity is rapidly making change in it's Collective Mind. Evidence of this is the format presented by the U.S. President elect as a major world power influence and how the world is Going Green to save the planet. Everything is falling in line with what has been
predicted, and we can view the beginning of this as the collapse of the "world" economic system. Now how is this in any way connected to those predictions of old from the Maya's or in the Bible? Simply those predictions were worded for the understanding of human consciousness 2000 to 3000 years ago, we must read between the lines and see the changed updated picture (much like the negative to the proof) for a modern consciousness. Even the statement 'Wars and Rumors of Wars' can be seen evident today with existing wars and the war of terrorism which presents itself to us like a rumor to keep us in fear. Why a fear rumor, to help mankind learn how their consciousness thought creates the reality.It's all intended to create change through transformation of the human consciousness, as humanity lifts it resonance vibration out of hate anger lust and self-centeredness.The present paradigms of consciousness around the world are based on an economic structure...Economics is behind everything modern man lives as his reality in 2008, even poverty and poor economic structure is a result weighed against the polarity effect. Education, housing, transportation,employment,income, technology, entertainment are today's lifestyles and all being drastically effected by the economic collapse. Only yesterday 40+ U.S. State Governors met because their state funding is going bankrupt and they can not get credit for public service. This added to failure of the major corporations and banks, gives us a picture that the world is in more than a recession when you consider all the individuals that lost funds retirements, homes, jobs, and the food pantry of religious and social organizations have gone near dry, as will the generous aid giving and services to less fortunate around the world. If this isn't the beginning of Armageddon then we must be deaf dumb and blind.

Now I'm not here to frighten anyone, but to give you Hope. Somewhere back in the late 90's spiritual guides shared a warning with us to clear our financial debt, and not live on false funding through credit. Not all spiritual light-workers heeded the message, fortunately I did as it could even be considered the beginning of the end of my 12yr relationship. Which has proved today to keep me un-effected by this world economic dilemma. So the Hope starts with reality thinking. Chalk your losses up to life, and move on. The funds are gone, don't waste time fretting over what isn't, someday you may break-even at best. Learn from this lesson to live not for a non-existent future, but for the NOW Moment. Devise a blueprint for where your life is headed without filling in the substance. This skeleton path allows one direction with flow to live in the moment. So get your finances in order. If you need to declare bankruptcy do it, all it effects is your credit and your going to be wise enough to not ever again live on that future projection that doesn't exist.You will simply learn to save for emergency and what you many need before you get it, instead of paying more with interest after. Even a couple of U.S. states are living this principal by devising recovery plans that do not involve loans. Now I use credit cards but only when I don't want to carry use use cash or on the PC, and only with money in the check account to pay before the bill arrives to avoid interest. Part of my savings are in several different banks collecting a give or take 3%, and part is literally buried right now under a mattress of farm mud and snow. This too will in time change, but regardless of what happens I will never loose all as it's needed to support my income from property rentals which can sustain a small group. I suggest you think along the lines of not being dependent on anyone including the government by living the NOW moment and not projection.
"The only reality is NOW, past is memory and future is dream only in the mind."

These are troubled times, if allowed to continue under the old paradigm recession will become depression resulting in our old perception of Armageddon. We can keep Armageddon from being a total end by changing the reality we live.Changing our perception through our belief of what is important to life. We don't need expensive new homes, cars, clothes, furnishings or educations. We are intelligent we can live joyfully through being creative and gain self respect and pride of accomplishment. We can transform our attitudes and accept less personal freedom by car pooling, offering others temporary home, sharing our wealth knowing that what we give with gratitude comes back ten times, it's cosmic law. We can create new excitement in our lives through learning community and learning to live with the planet instead of on it. We will be much healthier physically and mentally for meeting the challenge to transform our beliefs to transform our reality while we lift the frequency of the planet to a more caring loving appreciation of our unity oneness.

P.S. Everyone's financial situation is different. Get over the loss, create a new reality based upon the Now Moment. You'll be amazed at how fear automatically diminishes and the joy of the moment becomes life.
