#911Wells Fargo is Enron Legacy contd…

Wells Fargo brings to light the reality behind the war on terror.  Questionable accounting methods have been an underlying terror in the “war on terror” since the fraudulent Enron accounting methods were revealed in 2001. The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) began investigating just how far the Arthur Anderson fraudulent accounting methods used by Enron  reached into other Wall Street firm’s financial reports but the investigation went down with the SEC offices in building number seven when the terror went 911.  Wiki. list of tenants in the building number 7   But, as it does, truth will win out and here we are again.

Interest in just how wide-spread the fraud goes is always the first question when it is revealed, this is happening with Wells Fargo today.  http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/22/investing/wells-fargo-fake-accounts-banks/   At the same time,  our political representatives go through the actions of demanding accountability. Senator Elizabeth Warren has reached internet hero status for her grilling of Wells Fargo executives regarding their accountability. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJhkX74D10M  Yet, as wonderful as this woman is, the reality is “same, same, but different.”   No change. Our banks are criminal enterprises. http://wallstreetonparade.com/2016/09/the-debate-is-over-banking-has-become-a-criminal-enterprise-in-the-u-s/

Terror, war and social confusion in the face of economic failure has obscured the corruption in the heart of our economy.  Terror on all fronts has allowed for capital issuance to shore up money flow needed to keep the false front/false flag waving. This claim may oversimplify the complexity of what is involved and at stake in the global economy and the terror, but at the root remains this fraudulent accounting game. Note the continued pentagon money corruption as case in point.  9/10/2001: Rumsfeld says $2.3 TRILLION Missing from Pentagon  Trillions have continued to be “lost” out of the Pentagon budget year after year. In 2016 the loss has been reported as $6.5 trillion. The war on terror is bleeding money to win a losing corrupt battle.

The current Wells Fargo debacle tells us that the global money power game has reached a place in which all the major players are bankrupt, overextended and unable to keep playing, they can only continue to falsify accounting to keep afloat.  When this happens to players of  the popular Monopoly Game by Hasbro the board has to be wiped clean and the game has to start over. In real life, throughout history, wiping the board clean means going to war.  I have family members who think this is just fine, the mental disconnect from the death and suffering this thinking encompasses is astounding.  Soldier glory is a mental state, a warrior state of mind, that blacks out moral subtext and social/economic reality. It is a mental state that appeals to the fight in us when faced with terror, yet it is a fight that inevitably leads us to the wrong enemy and hundreds of thousands wrongfully dead.

The true enemy is the mind game that turns the 1%’s terror of losing their control into a terrorizing bogey man for the 99% to fight. The true fight before the people is the fight to see the mind game, the bogey man, for what it is.  This is not easy, the loss of financial liquidity involved in the terror puts the squeeze on the lowest income earners in the 99% and the resulting terror promotes  blind rage and violent uproar in the face of powerlessness. Headlines about protests and blood on the streets begin to rule our news. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/09/21/protests-after-charlotte-police-officers-kill-man-outside-apartment-complex.html  The squeeze and “sucking” of all the resources available to shore up an overextended system encroaches on all that there is no matter how sacred, as our Native Americans have witnessed for hundreds of years and to this day. http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/04/492625850/dakota-access-pipeline-protests-in-north-dakota-turn-violent    The 1% will not face the terror of their making and  we the people need to face down and reject the bogey man terror they are pawning off on us in order to cover up their corruption and to remain in the 1% position of power.

The people’s 911 is to turn the 1%’s 911 upside down, to do this is to realize the energy of new consciousness: 2000 plus years new. I’m talking about mindfulness, harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust, consciousness brought to us by Christ, Buddha, Mohammad and Pythagoras. I’m mystical/magical/mathematical enough to believe in the quantum leap of prophesy attributed to our current time in the space continuum of these great teachers’ existence.  http://earthsky.org/human-world/when-will-the-age-of-aquarius-begin  Terror is something we must fight, but not in the way the corrupt masters of our economies are directing us to fight.  The real fight before the 99% is to recover our ability to survive in spite of the money power’s false paradigm of existence crashing down upon us.

The  front line of the 99%’s fight against the 1%’s terror is  in the fight for the ordinary.  I’m talking about the basics of true existence. The right to grow our own food.  http://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/right-to-grow-food-zl0z1211zrob.aspx   The fight to access clean water. http://water.org/water-crisis/water-sanitation-facts/   To clear the board of the corrupt money power game  is to realize that the game has us harnessed to a survival based on the issuers/bank’s false paradigm of existence. To win requires that we stop being dependent on their monetary paradigm. This is what the Native American’s way of life does, this is what the Amish way of life does.  If the people are going to win this round of historical corruption and denigration of all we say we hold sacred then the people need to be the ones that are brave enough to face the terror of  monetary value disintegrating.

America’s new test of bravery is one in which we embrace reality and fight for the ordinary in the face of terror.  We need to shore up our resources in our communities.  Each individual needs to do their part in securing their source for local food and clean water, and fight for the same rights of others where they can. Individual financial survival and personal sovereignty also calls for  moving money out of the big corrupt banks and into local credit unions and community banks. Promoting community survival is the best way for the 99% to diffuse terror as the big banks and military corrupt fail.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For What It’s Worth

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/09/15/kent-state-university-blasts-red-stained-sweatshirt-sold-by-urban-outfitters/

I want one! I see 1000s in the street wearing this.  Just imagine 1000s confronting the Mega-Cops Homeland Security is building up.

“For What It’s Worth”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5M_Ttstbgs

There’s something happening here
But what it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware.

I think it’s time we stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look – what’s going down?

There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking’ their minds
Getting so much resistance from behindIt’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look – what’s going down?What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly saying, “hooray for our side”It’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look – what’s going down?Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away

We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look – what’s going down?

We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look – what’s going down.

– Buffalo Springfield lyrics

Karmic Life Change – A Reading from the Book of Tarot for April 20, 2012

Illustrations from the Albano Waite Tarot@deck reproduced by permission of US Games Systems, Inc., Stamford, CT 06902. Copyright c 1990 by US Games Systems, Inc., Stamford, CT. Further reproduction prohibited.

Two Tarot cards are profiled. These cards have been pulled to induce synchronicity. The intention is for you to watch for the consciousness they represent to be reflected in the events of your day. This practice known as Yoga of the West, is designed to build a bridge of intuition between the reader’s unconscious and conscious mind; a bridge to wholeness.

LAMED

The first card is an archetype card chosen according to the numerology of the day. Each archetype card in the Tarot represents a path on the Tree of Life (Kabbalah). Today is 04, 20, 2012, or number 11: Justice. The path this card represents is shaded on the diagram included. The workings of the path this card represents, LAMED, are karmic.

Justice is the path of consequences. The figure on this card sits between the pillars of wisdom and a veil of ignorance hangs in the background. On this path we break through the veils of illusion or deception that harbor ignorance. The square on Justice’s crown represents well-ordered thoughts, law.  Her right hand holds a sword straight up in victory; she dispenses logical fair-minded justice. A sword is double-edged; it cuts both ways, signifying impartiality. The scales are in the figure’s left hand, the intuitive hand, telling us that logic is balanced by intuition. The clasp holding the figure’s robe is a square representing the law that is protecting the wholeness of us all, the circle within. Wholeness requires adherence to impartial karmic balance of the law, good or bad. Consequences must be accepted and harmonized in order for us to master this path. Achieving wholeness on the path of Justice requires breaking through the veils of ignorance with the realization that all is good.

The second card is a face card. Each face card in the Tarot represents an aspect of personality. There are four personality types: feeling (cups), thinking (swords), intuitive (wands) and sensate (pentacles). Each personality type has four levels of consciousness: page, knight, queen and king. All of us, male and female, have the capacity to realize all of these aspects of personality. We are all both male and female. The paths of the Tree are four-dimensional. Each level of personality travels its own dimension on each path simultaneously.

Today’s face card the King of Wands is a random selection seeking the ideal aspect of personality to pay attention to in relation to today’s archetype. Watch for the personality aspects of this King either within yourself or in someone else. Wands represent the intuitive type personality. The King of Wands is a master of action based on intuition. This Master holds knowing in his right hand, that which brings life into form. His left hand in a fist symbolizes all that is possible by force of will. This fully realized ruler of his/her own is the master of innovation and rational right makes might power. Behind him we see lions, symbols of force. Force that can save and or destroy. We also see salamanders, symbols of fire. The salamanders are biting their own tails, which symbolizes eternity and the ever-present drive to move forward against all obstacles.  There is also a salamander in the foreground of this card’s image representing big results from small conscious actions.  This King’s crown is adorned with wings of fire. His thoughts have the power to change the world. Wholeness for a person operating as a King of Wands is achieved by following through on intuitive insights to achieve major change in life.

All Signs Seem Clear, Watch for “Black Cats”- A Reading from the Book of Tarot for April 18, 2012

Two Tarot cards have been pulled to induce synchronicity. The intention is for you to watch for the consciousness they represent to be reflected in the events of your day. This practice known as Yoga of the West, is designed to build a bridge of intuition between the reader’s unconscious and conscious mind; a bridge to wholeness.

OOPH

The first card is an archetype card chosen according to the numerology of the day. Each archetype card in the Tarot represents a path on the Tree of Life (Kabbalah). Today is 04, 18, 2012, or number 18: The Moon.  The path 18 represents, The Moon, is shaded on the diagram included. The consciousness on this path, OOPH, is that of recognizing synchronicity as signs to follow for finding your way to wholeness.

In the image found on this archetype card there is a crayfish at the head of the path coming out of the water, this symbolizes re-inventing your self.. The Pillars of Wisdom dominate the background of this card.  These pillars repeat many times in Yoga of the West symbolism. Achieving conscious balance on all the paths is to find your way through these pillars to immortality. On this path, the way through the pillars is via the moon (knowing) which is dripping flaming symbols for the Hebrew letter Yod, “that from which all things come.”  Understanding, knowing that from which all things come is balanced by the domesticated and the wild sides of our animal nature as symbolized by the dogs on either side of the path. This balance is achieved with intuition and creative insights into material reality in the moment. Momentary insight that famed psychologist Carl Jung’s term Synchronicity. Synchronicity refers to the signs that appear, signs that only you recognize; be they events, symbols, or dreams, these signs confirm and or guide you. Wholeness on the path of the Moon is to pay attention to the signs “that from which all things come” synchronizes to show us the way.

The second card is a face card. Each face card in the Tarot represents an aspect of personality. There are four personality types: feeling (cups), thinking (swords), intuitive (wands) and sensate (pentacles). Each personality type has four levels of consciousness that correlate to maturity, or level of consciousness: page, knight, queen and king.  Who is highest consciousness, the King or the Page is in contention in the different cabals who study the Tree. Regardless, all of us, male and female, have the capacity to realize all of these aspects of personality and levels of consciousness. The paths of the Tree are four-dimensional. Each level of personality travels its own dimension on each path simultaneously.  A whole human being fully conscious realizes all levels of all personality types on all paths

Today’s face card, or aspect of personality to watch for is the Queen of Wands. Feminine mastery of this particular path emotional insights into synchronistic signs is fully realized in this aspect of personality.  Wands represent the intuitive personality type, associated with knowing and compassion.  This Queen of Intuition sits upon a throne with lions flying above her head and sitting at her feet. Lions symbolize fire (thinking) and strength. Her right hand holds a wand bursting with life, she “knows” the power to bring into form the aspects of life that are most important to us. In her left hand and also behind her we see sunflowers. These flowers always turn to the sun in real life and here they symbolize being in tune with the Light (the force of creation). Sunflowers represent life, fertility, joy and satisfaction. This Queen of creative power is wise, her cloak is clasped together with the face of an owl. However, the black cat at this Queen’s feet alerts us to the reality that there are energies at work that we may not be aware of and we need to be on the look out for. Wholeness for the Queen of Wands is found in strong knowing creative action taken with full awareness of all aspects of any given situation, especially the unseen aspects.

Freethinker’s Fortune – A Reading from the Book of Tarot for April 10, 2012

Two Tarot cards have been pulled to practice the inducement of synchronicity. The intention is for you to watch for the consciousness these cards represent to be reflected in the events of your day. This practice, known as Yoga of the West, is designed to build a bridge of intuition between your unconscious and conscious mind: a bridge to wholeness.

The first card is an archetype card chosen according to the numerology of the day. Each archetype card in the Tarot represents a path on the Tree of Life (Kabbalah). Today is 04, 10, 2012, or number 10: The Wheel of Fortune. The path this card represents is shaded on the diagram included. The conscious workings of the path this card represents, KAPH, are always viewed as positive.

The Wheel of Fortune spins, this path requires wise balance through change. Wisdom dominates the symbols on this card. It is seen in the color blue, the Sphinx and the Torah (Tora). Tora is spelled out in the outer ring of the wheel, mixed with IHVH, the unspeakable name of G__. The Four beasts of the Apocalypse are all reading the Tora.. In the top left is Aquarius, top right is Scorpio, Leo is in the bottom right and Taurus is in the bottom left. These fixed signs of the zodiac have wings signifying stability through change. The snake on the left side of the wheel symbolizes he life force descending into the material world. The snake’s head is traveling towards the feet of a red Anubis rising on the right side of the wheel, a sign of intelligence or wisdom ascending. The middle wheel contains the material world: alchemical symbols for mercury, sulfur, water and salt. The energy on this path of Wisdom balances work well done with the compassionate abundance of the Universe. Good fortune just is. The good that comes, goes just as easily, cherish and revel. The only thing we can be sure of in life and the wheel is change. Wholeness requires wise balance come what may on the wheel of material fortune.

The second card is a face card. Each face card in the Tarot represents an aspect of personality. There are four personality types: feeling (cups), thinking (swords), intuitive (wands) and sensate (pentacles). Each personality type has four levels of consciousness that correlate to maturity, or level of consciousness: page, knight, queen and king.  Who is highest consciousness, the King or the Page is in contention in different Cabals. Regardless, all of us, male and female, have the capacity to realize all of these aspects of personality and levels of consciousness. The paths of the Tree are four-dimensional. Each level of personality travels its own dimension on each path simultaneously.  A whole human being fully conscious realizes all levels of all personality types on all paths

Today’s face card, The Queen of Swords, is a random selection seeking the ideal aspect of personality to pay attention to in relation to today’s archetype. Watch for the personality aspects of the Queen of Swords either within yourself or in someone else.

The Queen of each suit applies ideal female personality strengths and weaknesses at work on all the paths on the Tree of Life (kabbalah). The Queen of Swords is a freethinker as symbolized by the single bird in the sky, and the butterflies on her crown and throne.  She is also a single minded, focused, and powerful person. Her head is above the clouds, she enjoys clarity and objectivity; she wants truth.  The Queen’s left hand is up and welcoming, she is willing to listen. Her sword is straight up; you will get a fair hearing.  But, note the frayed, or tasseled rope on her wrist. In a number of earlier Sword cards you see figures with their arms bound, powerless. This figure has been bound, she has been there, and done that, she has survived, do not mess with her, do not attempt to feed her any lies. The cross to wholeness for this figure is seen in the child on her throne, it is just a head, pure intellect. This queen can be a harsh critic; she doesn’t give herself or anyone else any slack. The path to wholeness for this person requires realistic tolerance that finds value in what is, without the need to look for what isn’t.

Perfectly Balanced Wholeness – A Reading from the Book of Tarot for April 8, 2012

Two Tarot cards have been pulled to practice the inducement of synchronicity. The intention is for you to watch for the consciousness these cards represent to be reflected in the events of your day. This practice, known as Yoga of the West, is designed to build a bridge of intuition between your unconscious and conscious mind: a bridge to wholeness.

TETH

The first card is an archetype card chosen according to the numerology of the day. Each archetype card in the Tarot represents a path on the Tree of Life (Kabbalah). Today is 04, 8, 2012, or number 17: The Star, also 8: Strength. The path Strength is that of balancing severity and mercy.  Too much severity is as damaging to our consciousness as too much mercy can be. This path, TETH, is shaded on the diagram.

Strength requires us to accept imperfection. Imperfection just is. Fealing with imperfection requires strength, strength that requires us to balance force with compassion. This balance requires the wisdom to realize that strength comes with not knowing and not judging. Note the figure is at peace, draped in garland and wears the crown of infinite wisdom. Her hands mirror the balance of her crown with a “yin yang” pose that cradles the “beast’s” head. This beast is licking the figure’s right hand. The right hand symbolizes our power to bring reality into form. At the same time this beast’s teeth are bared and his claws are extended.  Achieving wholeness on the path of Strength requires us to realize the perfect balance of power and powerlessness.

BETH

The second card is a break from my recent pattern.  Today I am selecting an archetype consciously.  This card happened to already be face up on my desk and I could not resist holding my attention on it … it is in accord with the spirit of this day: Easter. Each archetype card in the Tarot represents a path of consciousness on the Tree of Life (Kabbalah). The Magician is the highest form of consciousness in material form. On this path, BETH, conscious creating of material existence is realized.  A Magician is one who has transcended to wholeness.

The Magician sits on the ‘right hand of the father,” and is capable of conscious creation of reality. The Magician has achieved wholeness; all four-personality types are on the table. The Magician, as shown by his wand raised high in his right hand, is a Master who can create miracles. The White Magician wears the crown of infinite wisdom and his left hand pointing down signifies that his work is for the good of all who operate on the lower levels of consciousness. Note the red roses of desire that adorn the card above and below the figure, “as above, so below.”  The Magician desires heaven on earth. The white lilies symbolize purity of thought, they further emphasize that this is a White Magician in service to the All.  Note the Magician wears a snake belt. The Snake on the Tree of Life symbolizes the life force, the Light of creation that we are all connected too and reflect.  Wholeness for the Magician is to be belted (protected) by the Light and the good of All.

TETH

The first card is an archetype card chosen according to the numerology of the day. Each archetype card in the Tarot represents a path on the Tree of Life (Kabbalah). Today is 03, 27, 2012, or number 17: The Star, also 8: Strength. The path Strength is that of balancing severity and mercy.  Too much severity is as damaging to our consciousness as too much mercy can be. This path, TETH, is shaded on the diagram.

Strength requires us to accept imperfection. Imperfection just is, dealing with it requires us to balance force with compassion.

The second card is a face card. Each face card in the Tarot represents an aspect of personality. There are four personality types: feeling (cups), thinking (swords), intuitive (wands) and sensate (pentacles). Each personality type has four levels of consciousness that correlate to maturity, or level of consciousness: page, knight, queen and king.  Who is highest consciousness, the King or the Page is in contention in different Cabals.

Each level of personality travels its own dimension on each path simultaneously.  A whole human being fully conscious realizes all levels of all personality types on all paths

Today’s face card, or aspect of personality to watch for is the Knight of Cups. Knights move the energy of their Suit forward.  Cups (water) represent the Feeling personality type. This is the Knight of ideal feelings. He rides a blue horse. Blue is the color of wisdom.  His helmet is winged; he sets the highest standard for his expectations and self in life. His armor is emblazoned with the fish we saw surprise the Page of Cups by jumping out of his cup.  The Knight has absorbed the unexpected wonders of life, the joy that this fish symbolizes into his armor! This Knight faces rugged cliffs and rivers to be crossed with his head high. His horse is prancing with an arched neck and the cup he holds is one in which ideals are the motivating force of action. This Knight is THE romantic Knight in shining armor. Wholeness for this romantic figure is to share joy filled perfection: perfection that can only be realized through unconditional acceptance of imperfection.

Strength to Enjoy What Is – A Reading from the Book of Tarot for February 10, 2012

TETH

Two cards are profiled. Each card represents a consciousness that corresponds to a or paths on the Tree of Life (Kabbalah) diagrams included with this reading. The intention is for you to watch for the consciousness these cards symbolize to be reflected in the experiences and events of the day

 

The first card, Strength, is an archetype card chosen according to the numerology of the day. Today is 2, 10, 2012 or 8. The second card, The Queen of Swords, is a random draw seeking the ideal card to contemplate in relation to current events this day.

Strength requires us to accept imperfection. Imperfection just is, dealing with it requires us to balance force with compassion. This balance requires the wisdom to realize that strength comes with not knowing and not judging. Note the figure is at peace, draped in garland and wears the crown of infinite wisdom. Her hands mirror the balance of her crown with a “yin yang” pose that cradles the “beast’s” head. This beast is licking the figure’s right hand. The right hand symbolizes our power to bring reality into form. At the same time this beast’s teeth are bared and his claws are extended.  Achieving wholeness on the path of Strength requires us to realize the perfect balance of power and powerlessness.

The Queen of Swords doesn’t fall on any specific path on the Tree of Life. The Queen of each suit applies to a level of personality strength and weakness at work on all the paths. The Queen of Swords is a freethinker as symbolized by the single bird in the sky, and the butterflies on her crown and throne.  She is also a single minded, focused, and powerful person. Her head is above the clouds, she enjoys clarity and objectivity; she wants truth.  The Queen’s left hand is up and welcoming, she is willing to listen. Her sword is straight up; you will get a fair hearing.  But, note the frayed, or tasseled rope on her wrist. In a number of earlier Sword cards you see figures with their arms bound, powerless.

The cross to wholeness for this figure is seen in the child on her throne, it is just a head, pure intellect. This queen can be a harsh critic; she doesn’t give herself or anyone else any slack.

Full Power! – A Reading from the Book of Tarot for February 1, 2012

TETH and RESH

Two cards are profiled. Each card represents a consciousness that corresponds to the highlighted paths on the Tree of Life (Kabbalah) diagrams included with this reading. The intention is for you to watch for the consciousness these cards symbolize to be reflected in the experiences and events of the day.  The first card is an archetype card chosen according to the numerology of the day. Today is 2, 1, 2012, or number 8: Strength. The second card, the Sun, is a random draw seeking the ideal card to contemplate in relation to current events this day.

Strength is also called balance, it’s both, as it takes great strength of mind to maintain the balance between severity and mercy required to travel the path this archetype represents. Strength requires us to accept and deal with imperfection. Imperfection just is and dealing with it requires us to balance force with compassion. This requires the wisdom to realize that strength comes with not knowing and not judging. Note the figure is at peace, draped in garland and wears the crown of infinite wisdom. Her hands mirror the balance of her crown with a “yin yang” pose that cradles the “beast’s” head. This beast is licking the figure’s right hand. The right hand symbolizes our power to bring reality into form. At the same time this beast’s teeth are bared and his claws are extended.  Achieving wholeness on the path of Strength requires us to realize the perfect balance of power and powerlessness.

The Sun, also an archetype, symbolizes a consciousness breakthrough path on the Tree of Life. The energy at work here is action energy. People on this path do things that we all admire and aspire to do. The child depicted on the card is riding away from walled sunflowers, 4 flowers represent the 4 suits, the four personalities of mankind.  These flowers have turned their faces to the child for energy. This is the path of “Look Mom, no Hands!” The horse is being ridden without reins. On this path, perfect control is achieved by balancing our conscious with our unconscious. The feather flying on the child’s head, and the bright red streamer flying in the child’s left hand further underscores the power of the unconscious taking precedence. The Sun itself emits pure energy and wavy (vibration energy). The Sun’s pure lines symbolize the power of the Light flowing directly to us. The Sun’s wavy lines are our power to reflect and refract the Light into vibrations that bring our personal realities into form. The block to wholeness on this path of vibrant energy is the charcoal hued wall behind the horse supporting society (the flowers). Wholeness requires us to shine: to take action and to not allow social walls to block our conscious breakthroughs. The charcoal hue of the wall also reminds us to not burn out and destroy our selves and or others in our glorious drive to do, and be.

Please note: This reading is meant for the practice of Yoga of the West, a Tarot meditation designed to build a bridge of intuition between the reader’s conscious and unconscious mind.  People also consult the cards as an oracle. Caution is advised. An oracle opens the door to spiritual deception as easily as spiritual truth. To read more about Yoga of the West go to http://bit.ly/9BiovO
