      "body": "Can Bitcoin help people break out of poverty? What if we could build a financial system with Bitcoin that would lead to a more equitable and fairer society?\n\nBitcoin has been around for nearly a decade now and it has survived many doomsday predictions regarding its demise. It has grown to become an accepted medium of transferring money, it has also been recognized as a currency in some countries like Japan.\nWhy is the existing system broken?\n\nThe present financial system is supported by large-scale financial institutions that provide financial services. This means banks, insurance companies, credit card companies, housing finance companies, money transfer companies etc.\n\nThe problem is that while these businesses have existed for a long time, accessibility has always been an issue. According to the world bank, two bln people still do not have access to a bank account. Yet this present financial institution based payment system is stuck in an archaic era.\n\nPeople are expected to use cash by withdrawing it from a bank account, they are supposed to deposit money physically at a bank teller or a machine and there are costs attached to just using and maintaining the system.\nDigital is the answer\n\nDigitalization and using modern technology like smartphones has many benefits. The World Bank Working Paper titled - The Global Findex Database 2014, Measuring Financial Inclusion around the World says:\n\n    “Moving from cash-based to digital payments has many potential benefits, for both senders and receivers. It can improve the efficiency of making payments by increasing the speed of payments and by lowering the cost of disbursing and receiving them.”\n\nThe report points out further that digital payments increase transparency of payments reduce leakages and provide a first entry point to a formal financial system.\nThe currency is the financial system\n\nBitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that have emerged have several advantages. Firstly they are digital. There is no cash to handle. You do not need vaults, armored cars or any of the other infrastructure that makes handling cash expensive.\n\nSecondly, some cryptocurrencies have features like smart contracts built in, which can be used by people to conduct transactions securely with each other without the need for intermediaries institutional or otherwise.\n\nAs MIT Technology Review recently quoted Joi Ito, Director of MIT Media Lab as saying about Bitcoin:\n\n    “Whether you’re an individual trying to get access or you’re a pensioner with lots of money tied up in the market, you’re going through these intermediaries that don’t represent you very well. [Bitcoin] creates a much more level playing field, and hopefully, it will reduce the complexity of the financial system.”\n\nThe poor need to be unshackled\n\nRegulatory hurdles need to be surmounted before digital currency can truly go mainstream, however, there is hope for the future as countries are getting around to the idea of Bitcoins becoming a part of the system.\n\nThere are advantages as well. Digital currencies are transparent and some currencies like Bitcoin offer a transaction ledger that is public. These currencies can help the poor gain freedom from cash which is money that offers anonymity to drug dealers, corrupt officials and others preying on them. Digital currencies also takes out the need for people living in remote areas to go to centers of population for making transactions.\n\nConversely, it also frees up financial institutions from having to put up infrastructure and staff in remote locations. Whichever way you look at it, the poor gain significant freedom from the advent and use of digital currencies.\n![104547742-104547712_Ethereum_Explainercopy.1910x1000.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRtnksXzuL2dqtMGEU2AHp1yNJRh2P9zyRHyH9JhWfLZB/104547742-104547712_Ethereum_Explainercopy.1910x1000.jpg)",

      "body": "In this age of virtual reality and talk of space elevators and head transplants, it can be hard to know what is real versus “fake news.” But when you hear talk of Bitcoin, blockchains and cryptocurrency, believe it.\n\nIn fact, the phenomenon of “magic internet money” could very quickly change all of our lives forever. Bitcoin and blockchains stand to improve vastly access to financial services and sound money for people in countries that currently suffer from poor financial and monetary policies. And cryptocurrency may vastly increase financial privacy and freedom for law-abiding people worldwide.\n\nThe future of innovative virtual currency offers so much promise because the current system has big drawbacks.\n\nUnder the current system, national currencies such as the U.S. dollar are issued by central banks such as the Federal Reserve. Central banks control the money supply, but those quasi-government planners don’t always get it right. And the resulting unstable money supplies or high inflation rates make investment and financial planning difficult in many parts of the world. Perversely, central bank policies often seem to help insiders amass great wealth while sometimes producing economic shocks and financial calamity.\n\nThe current system is already mostly digital. Most of the new money entering the economy will never be minted in the form of bank notes and coins. According to some estimates, only 8 percent of the world’s currency now exists as physical cash. The rest is held electronically on private ledgers kept in computer hard drives at the world’s major financial institutions.\n\nBut the entire set-up relies on a complex network of trust and middlemen: Account holders trust their banks to keep an accurate record of their holdings and to have sufficient reserves to back them up. Banks similarly trust each other’s record-keeping in order to fulfill their customers’ transactions and transfers. And the whole world must trust central banks to respect their self-imposed inflation targets and guidelines.\n\nUnfortunately, this convoluted system can be error-prone, expensive and slow. A European bank may charge its clients $15 to send $100 to a U.S. bank account, only for the U.S. bank to charge its client an additional $30 international wire fee upon reception. And the whole process takes five business days. Banks and other financial institutions sometimes become insolvent, costing customers or taxpayers (in the case of “too-big-too-fail”) billions of dollars in bail-ins and bail-outs.\n\nThis is where blockchain technology comes in: It eliminates the need for government money and monetary systems.\n\nA blockchain is a decentralized public ledger showing financial transactions to all observers. Trades of digital currency are safeguarded using encryption (“cryptocurrency”) rather than the records of fallible banks and other institutions.\n\nBitcoin is currently the most popular and widely used blockchain money. With Bitcoin, everyone worldwide follows the same rules and knows exactly what to expect: The “inflation rate” is set in stone, as is the entire transaction history of the network. And the conditions for a user to be able to move “coins” or units from one account to another are the same for all users. A person who owns bitcoins can always verify or prove ownership to others using the information on the Bitcoin blockchain. That is better than holding assets in traditional banks, which are only promises appearing on a piece of paper or a website.\n\nAnother advantage to Bitcoin is that there is no risk of a bank run or hyper-inflation. Transactions are borderless: There are no extra fees or permissions needed to trade with someone in another country.\n\nBitcoin and blockchain technology could also have dramatic effects in countless other areas where the trustworthiness and verifiability of data (and data ownership) pose a problem, including financial/stock markets, intellectual property (like copyrights), and medical records.\n\nIt should be no surprise that all this change has regulatory agencies around the world feeling threatened. Just over the past month we have seen the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission strike down proposals for Bitcoin-based exchange traded funds (mutual funds that track indexes like the NASDAQ-100 Index and S&P 500). The Indian Ministry of Finance has created a special committee to study digital currencies and how they are regulated worldwide. And the People’s Bank of China has initiated a series of inquiries.\n\nOf course, there are various risks and business flops associated with this new technology, and those problems are getting extra hype and scrutiny from government and the news media. But government agencies and established leading financial institutions have no business holding back Bitcoin and blockchain technology that offers such great potential to help people gain better opportunities and financial security.![images.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVT3kYo1EpbX1tCtoqnk2aacfKh3XN6LSdt4j7ekMfcns/images.jpg)",

      "body": "The state-sponsored lottery is often referred to as a “tax on the poor” or an “idiot tax,” depending on who you ask. The lotto can be seen as one of the few ways to move up on the socioeconomic ladder for the poor. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin are leveling the playing field by offering not just much better odds at becoming richer, but also encouraging financial literacy.\n\nAlso read: Netflix CEO’s Education Fund Aligns with Bitcoin\nThe Lottery: A ‘Poor’ Choice\n\nAs the winners of the latest record $1.5 billion USD dollar Powerball jackpot are revealed, studies show that poorer households, which make a total of $13,000 or less, spend a much larger share of their income – roughly 9% – on the lottery. Moreover, many states such as Massachusetts, whose average annual ticket sales are an astounding $634 per capita, have been criticized for selling “hopium” to the masses.\n\nLet’s take a look at some other lottery facts in the US:\n\n    The odds of winning the grand prize are 1 in 195,249,054;\n    The average person in the US spends roughly $300 a year on tickets;\n    65% of lottery winners are bankrupt within 15 years;\n    The real value of a $1 lotto ticket is often as low as 32 cents.\n\nThe lottery is big business in the United States, and the biggest source of revenue for some states, e.g. as high as 36% of total revenue in West Virginia and Michigan. Therefore, it is no surprise why the value of a $1 purchase can be as low as 32 cents. This is because the additional cost goes straight into the coffers of the state government — a furtive strategy on behalf of the authorities to secure funds without raising taxes directly. In other words, the ticket sellers benefit from the daunting low odds and a high number of players, which invariably gets higher as the jackpot grows due to the press-fuelled hype and resulting mass hysteria.\n\n2So considering these laughable odds of winning, it is no wonder why many “financially literate” from Wall Street equate this type of investment with flushing your money down the toilet. But while the Lotto can seen as peddling “false hopes,” the counterargument should also be taken into account.\n\n“[The poor] were playing the lotto because it is one of the only legal opportunities available to them to become rich,” argues a Guardian article. “When you are poor, you make what others view as irrational decisions not because of ‘stupidity’ but because of limited options …The wealthy have many routes to legally make money without having to play the lotto.”\n\nCertainly, the poor have to struggle on an unlevel playing field, but is “investing” 9% of your meager income on such dismal odds the only option that’s available today?\nBitcoin Can Help\n\nStill unbeknownst to many is that the financial landscape has changed dramatically with the invention of the world’s first public, opt-in currency. It provides everyone with a slew of new opportunities such as trading it directly or using it as a vehicle to buy and trade anything from dollars to gold, to even betting on future outcomes; the possibilities are endless.\n\nFor example, Bitcoin had an impressive past year rising roughly 35% against the dollar as most fiat currencies depreciated. If 9% of $13,000 or roughly $1,200 worth of bitcoin were bought a year ago, the buyer would have made a considerable profit compared to lotto tickets, where a return of little to none of your money is all but guaranteed. Also, even if Bitcoin’s price dropped like it did in 2014 – the person holding the coins would still retain these, after which they can (and did) appreciate in the future.\n\nWhen asked about Bitcoin as an investment compared to playing the lotto, Head of Research at Brave New Coin, Tone Vays, told Bitcoin.com:\n\n    “I would love to see someone quantify the math, but I’m certain bitcoin is a better investment. Being a censorship resistant value transfer will one day pay of really well but obviously not to the tune of $1.5 Billion. I for one did not waste any value on playing the Powerball.”\n\nOf course, everything appears to be straightforward in hindsight, and no one can predict what will happen to Bitcoin as we go forward. However, it’s difficult to find an investment with worse odds than the Powerball, toilet bowls excluded. So putting a small portion of your hard earned cash into the next big thing is probably a better strategy by comparison.\n\nAdditionally, opting to get into Bitcoin likewise encourages people to boost their financial literacy as the responsibility of managing your finances falls directly on you, the user. Financial literacy essentially means having the skills and knowledge to make informed financial decisions for secure savings, budgeting and wise borrowing; and becoming a digital currency user means at the very least knowing how to set up and manage your digital wallet account, to trading smart-property on a Bitcoin exchange, for example, or even “mining” bitcoins.\nEducation Still Fundamental\n\nIt must be stressed that cryptocurrency is by no means a ticket out of poverty and no panacea to financial inequality. Bitcoin can, however, serve as the gateway to financial responsibility and a better understanding of how money works. Educating yourself on how to manage your money is absolutely crucial regardless of what currency you use, especially if you come from a lower-income household.\n\n“Financial literacy varies significantly among the poor, especially in relation to a financial landscape that is rapidly changing,” explains Monique Cohen in the Global Microcredit Summit Paper on Financial Literacy. “Financial diaries studies … have demonstrated that most poor people are good financial managers in familiar environments where a majority of financial transactions occur either informally or involve money stored at home.” It adds:\n\n    “When their existing knowledge and competencies are not applicable to an ever changing financial landscape, people are limited in their ability to act.”\n\nWith Bitcoin, the choice is ultimately yours as it can encourage you to become a wiser manager by giving you back control over your money to invest in almost anything. You can even use it to buy those same lotto tickets, though it’s not recommended: because even if you are among the winners of the $1.5 billion dollar Powerball jackpot, the amount doled out to the three winners after taxes would be much, much less — which considering the odds to begin with — is a terrible value proposition indeed.![can-stock-photo_csp24741250.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYu1Yw8TqKSx86F4RQCEEoPDavb9RMuTm51fYBRKVzFaZ/can-stock-photo_csp24741250.jpg)",

      "body": "Big Wall Street companies are using a complicated technology called blockchain to further increase the already lightning-fast speed of international finance. But it’s not just the upper crust of high finance who can benefit from this new technology. The Conversation\n\nMost simply, a blockchain is an inexpensive and transparent way to record transactions. People who don’t know each other – and therefore may not trust each other – can securely exchange money without fear of fraud or theft. Major aid agencies, nonprofits and startup companies are working to extend blockchain systems across the developing world to help poor people around the world get easier access to banks for loans or to protect their savings.\n\nIn my work as a scholar of business and technology focusing on the impact of blockchain and other modern technologies such as cloud computing, big data and the Internet of Things on poor people, I see four main ways blockchain systems are already beginning to connect some of the world’s poorest people with the global economy.\nHow does a blockchain work?\n\nA blockchain is a fancy word for a transaction-recording computer database that’s stored in lots of different places at once. The best-known example of blockchain technology is the electronic cryptocurrency called bitcoin, but the concept can be applied in lots of different ways.\n\nOne way to think about a blockchain is as a public bulletin board to which anyone can post a transaction record. Those posts have to be digitally signed in a particular way, and once posted, a record can never be changed or deleted. The data are stored on many different computers around the internet, and even around the world.\n\nGet the weekly update on thoughts and trends in business and technology.\n\nTogether, these features – openness to writing and inspection, authentication through computerized cryptography and redundant storage – provide a mechanism for secure exchange of funds. They can even involve what are called “smart contracts,” transactions that happen only if certain conditions are met – such as a life insurance policy that sends money to the beneficiary only if a specific doctor submits a digitally signed death certificate to the blockchain.\n\nRight now, these sorts of services are available – even in the developed world – only because nations have strong regulations protecting the money people deposit in banks, and clear laws about obeying the terms of formal contracts. In the developing world, these rules often don’t exist at all – so the services that depend on them don’t either, or are so expensive that most people can’t use them. For instance, to open a checking account in some parts of Africa, banks require enormous minimum deposits, sometimes more money than an average person earns in a year.\n\nA blockchain system, though, inherently enforces rules about authentication and transaction security. That makes it safe and affordable for a person to store any amount of money securely and confidently. While that’s still in the future, blockchain-based systems are already helping people in the developing world in very real ways.\nSending money internationally\n\nIn 2016, emigrants working abroad sent an estimated US$442 billion to their families in their home countries. This global flow of cash is a significant factor in the financial well-being of families and societies in developing nations. But the process of sending money can be extremely expensive.\n\nUsing MoneyGram, for example, a worker in the U.S. with US$50 to send to Ghana might have to pay $10 in fees, meaning her family would receive only $40. In 2015, transaction costs and commission rates averaged 10.96 percent for remittances sent from banks and 6.36 percent for sending money through money transfer operators. Companies justify their costs by saying they reflect the price of providing reliable and convenient services.\n\nBy contrast, Hong Kong’s blockchain-enabled Bitspark has transaction costs so low it charges a flat HK$15 for remittances of less than HK$1,200 (about $2 in U.S. currency for transactions less than $150) and 1 percent for larger amounts. Using the secure digital connections of a blockchain system lets the company bypass existing banking networks and traditional remittance systems.\n\nSimilar services helping people send money to the Philippines, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Sierra Leone and Rwanda also charge a fraction of the current banking rates.\nInsurance\n\nMost people in the developing world lack health and life insurance, primarily because it’s so expensive compared to income. Some of that is because of high administrative costs: For every dollar of insurance premium collected, administrative costs amounted to $0.28 in Brazil, $0.54 in Costa Rica, $0.47 in Mexico and $1.80 in the Philippines. And many people who live on less than a dollar a day have neither the ability to afford any insurance, nor any company offering them services.\n\nSmartphones are increasingly common in the developing world. Russell Watkins/UK Department for International Development\n\nIn India, for example, only 15 percent of the population has health insurance. Even those people pay higher relative premiums than in developed countries. As a result, people in South Asia pay a much greater share of their health care costs out of their own pockets than do people in high-income industrialized countries.\n\nBecause blockchain systems are online and involve verification of transactions, they can deter (and expose) fraud, dramatically cutting costs for insurers.\n\nConsuelo is a blockchain-based microinsurance service backed by Mexican mobile payments company Saldo.mx. Customers can pay small amounts for health and life insurance, with claims verified electronically and paid quickly.\nHelping small businesses\n\nBlockchain systems can also help very small businesses, which are often short of cash and also find it expensive – if not impossible – to borrow money. For instance, after delivering medicine to hospitals, small drug retailers in China often wait up to 90 days to get paid. But to stay afloat, these companies need cash. They rely on intermediaries that pay immediately, but don’t pay in full. A $100 invoice to a hospital might be worth $90 right away – and the intermediary would collect the $100 when it was finally paid.\n\nBanks aren’t willing to lend money in places where fraudulent invoices are common, or where manufacturers and their customers might have inconsistent and error-ridden records. A blockchain system reduces those concerns because these records must be authenticated before being added to the books, and because they can’t be changed.\n\nThose Chinese pharmaceutical companies are getting help from Yijan, a blockchain that is a joint effort of IBM and Chinese supply management company Hejia. Electronics, auto manufacturing and clothing companies facing similar difficulties are the test markets for Chained Finance, a blockchain platform backed by financial services company Dianrong and FnConn, the Chinese subsidiary of Foxconn.\nHumanitarian aid\n\nBlockchain technology can also improve humanitarian assistance. Fraud, corruption, discrimination and mismanagement block some money intended to reduce poverty and improve education and health care from actually helping people.\n\nIn early 2017 the U.N. World Food Program launched the first stage of what it calls “Building Block,” giving food and cash assistance to needy families in Pakistan’s Sindh province. An internet-connected smartphone authenticated and recorded payments from the U.N. agency to food vendors, ensuring the recipients got help, the merchants got paid and the agency didn’t lose track of its money.\n\nThe agency expects using a blockchain system will reduce its overhead costs from 3.5 percent to less than 1 percent. And it can speed aid to remote or disaster-struck areas, where ATMs may not exist or banks are not functioning normally. In urgent situations, blockchain currency can even take the place of scarce local cash, allowing aid organizations, residents and merchants to exchange money electronically.\n\nBlockchains can even help individuals contribute to aid efforts overseas. Usizo is a South Africa-based blockchain platform that lets anyone help pay electricity bills for community schools. Donors can track how much electricity a school is using, calculate how much power their donation will buy and transfer the credit directly using bitcoin.\nFuture potential\n\nIn the future, blockchain-based projects can help people and governments in other ways, too. As many as 1.5 billion people – 20 percent of the world’s population – don’t have any documents that can verify their identity. That limits their ability to use banks, but also can bar their way when trying to access basic human rights like voting, getting health care, going to school and traveling.\n\nSeveral companies are launching blockchain-powered digital identity programs that can help create and validate individuals’ identities. Using only an internet-connected smartphone, a person is photographed and recorded on video making particular facial expressions and speaking, reading an on-screen text. The data are recorded on a blockchain and can be accessed later by anyone who needs to check that person’s identity.\n\nWithout email, phones, passports or even birth certificates, a blockchain could be the only way many poor people have to prove who they are. That could really make their lives better and expand their opportunities.\n\nNir Kshetri is a Professor of Management at the University of North Carolina – Greensboro. \n![images.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmf63StASYx158KoT8p9u2zdZVLCXmBymeys6v9dNLzvkv/images.jpg)",

Why?\nMore recently, there’s been some speculation that these pedophile rings could stretch into pop culture, potentially involving more pedophilia scandals and symbolism within the media. The question here is: Is there any tangible evidence of all of this, or is it mere speculation?\nPedophilia Symbolism\nI’d like to begin by identifying the symbols that are used by pedophiles to identify themselves and make their requests within underground networks. Here is a link to a declassified FBI document illustrating the symbols and images used by pedophiles to “identify their sexual preferences.”\nSo, how do these images relate to pizza? First of all, before PizzaGate was even suggested, “cheese pizza” was used as a code word to discuss “child porn” (hint: it’s the same initials, CP). A quick Google search will reveal that the market for underage sex workers is fairly substantial, and you can even see a 2015 post on Urban Dictionary that explains how “cheese pizza” is used as code for child porn.\nAs per PizzaGate and the symbolism, it all started when multiple emails involving John Podesta, his brother, and Hillary Clinton simply didn’t add up. Strange wording discussing pizza and cheese left readers confused, and because the emails made so little sense, it led many to suspect that they were code for something else.\nFor example, this email addressed to John Podesta reads: “The realtor found a handkerchief (I think it has a map that seems pizza-related),” and this email sent from John Podesta asks: “Do you think I’ll do better playing dominos on cheese than on pasta?” There are many more examples, and I encourage you to go through the Wikileaks vault to explore.\nOn top of that, the DNC was associated with two pizza places, Comet Ping Pong and Besta Pizza, which use very clear symbols of pedophilia in their advertising and have strange images of children and other ritualistic type images and suspicious videos on their social media accounts – which has since been made private given the controversy over the images and their link to the DNC, but again, a quick Google search will show you what those images looked like. You can read the email correspondence between John Podesta and Comet Ping Pong’s owner, James Alefantis, here.\nTo start, here’s an image from his Instagram account:\n \nHere’s an image of the Besta Pizza logo alongside the FBI’s pedophilia code symbols:\n  \nFormer writer for the Huffington Post and Business Insider David Seaman has posted numerous YouTube videos thoroughly outlining the emails and the link to these pizza parlours and the pedophilia symbolism found within all of it. Here’s one of his videos, though I’d encourage you to watch the rest of them as well:\nHere’s an image of some of the other art created by the same woman Comet Ping Pong commissioned to create the art for their pizza parlour. David Seaman discusses the art in another one of his videos. Does this look like the type of “art” a children’s artist should be creating (or anyone for that matter)?\n \nAs you may already know, PizzaGate is only speculation as of right now, though there is clearly some very damning evidence against the DNC that suggests some of the members were involved with pedophilia.\nThis Isn’t the First Time the Government Was Involved in Sex Scandals\nMany were quick to assume that PizzaGate was entirely true because they knew of the U.S. government’s previous involvement with sex scandals and pedophilia.\nFor example, Ted Gunderson, former FBI special agent and head of their L.A. office, worked to uncover years’ worth of information on high-level pedophilia, sexual abuse, and satanic rituals performed by the government and the elite (or the cabal). In my opinion, Ted Gunderson is a wonderful place to start your research on this subject. You can read more about that in our CE article here.\nFormer U.S. representative Cynthia McKinney also knew about the government’s relationship to human trafficking, and she actually addressed it in 2005. She grilled Donald Rumsfeld on military contractor DynCorp’s child trafficking business of selling women and children (source).\nAnother individual involved in high-level trafficking was Jeffrey E. Epstein, a member of the financial elite infamous on Wall Street. In 2009, he pleaded guilty to charges of soliciting prostitution from girls as young as fourteen. He served just over a year in jail and became a registered high-risk sex offender.\nAccording to former U.S. State Department official Steve Pieczenik, the Clintons and many more “have been a major part and participant of what’s called the Lolita Express, which is a plane owned by Mr. Jeff Epstein, a wealthy multi-millionaire who flies down to the Bahamas and allows Bill and Hillary Clinton to engage in sex with minors — that is called Pedophilia.” (source)\nProminent names who boarded the Lolita Express include former President Bill Clinton, Naomi Campbell, Kevin Spacey, Prince Andrew, Larry Summers, and other political figures, all of whom are listed on the flight logs. Even the current U.S. President, Donald Trump, has ties to Epstein, and was in fact accused of raping a 13-year-old girl at multiple different elite sex parties with Epstein. You can see the full logs here.\n“Bill Clinton . . . associated with a man like Jeffrey Epstein, who everyone in New York, certainly within his inner circles, knew was a pedophile,” explained Conchita Sarnoff, an investigative journalist who, despite being bribed to stay silent, risked her life to expose the brutal reality of human trafficking. Sarnoff also wrote a book on the Epstein case called TrafficKing. “Why would a former president associate with a man like that?” Sarnoff asked. To read more about Epstein’s case, check out our CE article here.\nNumerous victims involved in elite sex rings and occult sex rituals have come forward, exposing high-level corruption related to human sex trafficking and pedophilia. One of the more recent victims to come forward is a woman named Kendall, who was sold at birth into a powerful, high-level international sex ring. You can read more about her story in our CE article here.\nHow Does All of This Relate to Pop Culture?\nTo be perfectly clear, PizzaGate and the previously discussed government scandals may not relate to pop culture whatsoever. Though there’s no question that the Illuminati and the elite are involved within the music industry, and that Monarch Mind Control and other CIA programs have played a role in creating/influencing music and media (all of which I will discuss later in this article), that doesn’t mean that there’s a direct link between these topics and pedophilia/sex rings.\nHowever, there have been instances of pedophilia and sex rings within the entertainment industry as a whole, and there have been suggestive symbols within music videos and other media posts, and that’s what will be discussed here.\nOne of the best examples is actress/comedian Roseanne Barr, who has spoken out about the mind control that occurs in Hollywood. Roseanne explained in a Russia Today interview that those in Hollywood are subordinates to their “masters” (or the ruling elite) and that the fear-based culture that’s perpetuated within Hollywood is run entirely by the mind control program MK Ultra (read about it in our CE article here). MK Ultra was/is a CIA-sanctioned program that ran from the 1950s until the mid-1970s, though it allegedly continues today under the name Monarch Mind Control (MMC).\nMMC is noted as a mind control technique that combines occult rituals, psychology, and neuroscience to create an alter ego within a desired subject. It is believed by many that, once fully programmed, monarch slaves are then used on demand by an elite group to carry out rituals and performances, deliver messages, and more to achieve a desired outcome.\nIn a 1992 speech, well-respected author and psychologist Dr. Cory Hammond delved deeper into the subject of MMC, shedding light on how exactly the process works. Here are some key excerpts from his talk:\nWhen you start to find the same highly esoteric information in different states and different countries, from Florida to California, you start to get an idea that there’s something going on that is very large, very well coordinated, with a great deal of communication and systematicness to what’s happening. So I have gone from someone kind of neutral and not knowing what to think about it all to someone who clearly believes ritual abuse is real. . . .\nWhat they basically do is they will get a child and they will start this, in basic forms it appears, by about two-and-a-half after the child’s already been made dissociative. They’ll make him dissociative not only through abuse, like sexual abuse, but also things like putting a mousetrap on their fingers and teaching the parents, “You do not go in until the child stops crying. Only then do you go in and remove it.” They start in rudimentary forms at about age two and a half and kick into high gear, it appears, around six or six and a half, continue through adolescence with periodic reinforcements in adulthood.\nIt has been speculated that MMC is directly related to Hollywood, given the abundance of symbolism within it. You can read more about that specific symbolism in our CE article here.\nFormer child start Corey Feldman has also echoed Barr’s words, sharing his own experiences of abuse within the industry. He explained:\n“I can tell you that the number one problem in Hollywood was, and is, and always will be pedophilia. That’s the biggest problem, for children in this industry. . . . It’s all done under the radar . . .  it’s the big secret. I was surrounded by them when I was 14 years old . . . they were everywhere, like vultures.”\n“There was a circle of older men that surrounded themselves around this group of kids, and they all had either their own power or connections to great power in the entertainment industry.”\nLord of the Rings star Elijah Wood has spoken out about this issue as well. “Let me be clear: This subject of child abuse is an important one that should be discussed and properly investigated,” Wood said.\n“It was all organized,” he continued. “There are a lot of vipers in this industry, people who only have their own interests in mind. There is darkness in the underbelly.”\n“What bums me about these situations is that the victims can’t speak as loudly as the people in power,” Wood stated. “That’s the tragedy of attempting to reveal what is happening to innocent people: They can be squashed, but their lives have been irreparably damaged.”\nThough Elijah was never sexually abused himself, he was at least around it enough to understand what was going on. Wood credits his mother for that, as she strived to keep him away from sex parties and pedophiles as best she could.\n“I never went to parties where that kind of thing was going on. This bizarre industry presents so many paths of temptation. If you don’t have some kind of foundation, typically from family, then it will be difficult to deal with,” he explained.\nIt’s clear that there are some form of pedophile rings in pop culture, but it’s unclear how it’s all structured. Though there has been lots of speculation that it’s linked to MK Ultra and Monarch Mind Control, it’s unknown if the U.S. government is actually still involved when it comes to the pop culture side of mind control.\nFamed child actor Corey Feldman has also come out a number of times about pedophilia in Hollywood. For example he has stated: “I can tell you that the number one problem in Hollywood was, and is, and always will be pedophilia. That’s the biggest problem, for children in this industry. . . . It’s all done under the radar . . . it’s the big secret. I was surrounded by them when I was 14 years old . . . they were everywhere, like vultures.” More on Feldman’s experiences here.\nSymbolism in Pop Culture \nClassic MMC and Illuminati symbolism involves the all-seeing eye, demons, horns, animal heads, cannibalism, occult rituals, highlighting only one eye, and more. Some examples of music videos that could potentially be seen as having this type of symbolism are “Cold” by Maroon 5, “Bon Appetit” by Katy Perry, and tons of music videos and performances by Miley Cyrus, Kesha (“Crazy Kids,” “Die Young”), and Lady Gaga.\nKesha herself is actually a victim of sexual abuse from higher-ups in the music industry, and she has spoken out about this extensively, describing how she was forced into singing “Die Young.” You can read more about Kesha’s story and her potential ties to the Illuminati here.\nA great place to start your research into symbolism in pop culture is Vigilant Citizen. If all of this pizza stuff really is symbolism for pedophilia, maybe the recent obsession with pizza in pop culture could be related, but that’s mere speculation proposed from online researchers — though I do admit, it’s a little odd when you have vegans like Miley Cyrus promoting pepperoni pizza themed stuff all the time. But again, this is circumstantial at best, and there’s no evidence to prove it.\nIn addition, Lady Gaga, who is often referred to as an “Illuminati puppet” given her love for occult symbolism in practically all of her performances, is friends with performance artist Marina Abramovic. This is where things start to get very questionable, as there are direct ties to PizzaGate here.\nMarina Abramovic isn’t shy about her interest in occult rituals and cannibalism. Below is a picture featuring her and Lady Gaga attending a 2013 event together, in which they stand directly in front of a woman lying in what was designed to look like a pool of blood. Guests were invited to scoop that blood with spoons to eat it up. The event was called “Devil’s Heaven.”\n \nSo, how does this relate to PizzaGate? Well, in perhaps one of the strangest DNC emails leaked, Podesta communicates with Marina, inquiring about “spirit cooking” and occult rituals.\nThe email shows a request from Tony Podesta to John Podesta, asking if he’ll be attending the spirit cooking. Abramovic says, “I am so looking forward to the Spirit Cooking dinner at my place. Do you think you will be able to let me know if your brother is joining?”\nWikileaks also tweeted about this, offering more information on “spirit cooking:”\n \nApparently, “the origins of Spirit Cooking can be found in Cake of Light, a sacrament in the religion of Thelema which was founded by Aleister Crowley. The ingredients of the Cake of Light include honey, oil, menstrual blood and sperm. The sacrament is meant to symbolize the union between the microcosm, Man, and the macrocosm, the Divine, which is a representation of one of the prime maxims in Hermeticism “As Above, So Below.” The consumption of the Cake of Light is a fulfillment of the sacred circle of the connection between Man and the Divine. ”\nTo read more about this occult ritual and this particular element of the alleged PizzaGate scandal, you can read our CE article here.\nFinal Thoughts\nIt’s quite clear that there’s substantial evidence pointing to pedophilia and sex rings within both the U.S. government and pop culture, but whether these networks are all linked remains a mystery. Not only that, but whether or not enough substantial evidence is allowed to come forward to actually do anything about it remains to be seen. In my opinion, there’s also some convincing information that shows symbolism plays some sort of role in the music industry and within those DNC emails, but that’s up to interpretation.\nThe key thing to remember is, if there are so many people coming forward claiming to know of or have been victims of these rings, and there is piles of evidence that may very well point to the reality of these rings, we must take it seriously and continue to examine it – even if the mainstream media keeps telling us “it’s all a conspiracy.” Let’s take a moment to remember who owns that form of media.\nI can’t say whether this symbolism is directly related to these acts, but I do question what the point of all of this symbolism is, and I encourage you to ask yourself that same question. Ultimately, it’s up to you as the reader to verify this information and find the truth within all of this, just as we are striving to do so as well.\nMore related CE articles on this topic.",

      "body": "Ormus, also known as ORMEs, m-state elements, white powder gold, or the Philosopher's Stone, was discovered in 1975 by an Arizona farmer named David Hudson. He discovered some material in his soil that he had never seen before. He laid it out to dry in the hot Arizona sun so he could have it analyzed. What happened next was absolutely remarkable: the stuff exploded in a big flash of light and disappeared! But when he dried it without the use of sunlight it didn't disappear.\n\nHudson was a very successful farmer and businessman so he could afford to have an expensive assay of the material done by a professor at New York's Cornell University. The stuff turned out to contain gold, silver, iron and aluminum, among other things. However, the gold and silver did not dissolve in fluid, as is usually the case. The iron and aluminum also did not dissolve in various acids and in their isolated form, they formed a strange black matter.\n\nOne by one the elements were isolated. Until the standard tests revealed there should be nothing left. But there was something left - a lot of it, in fact. The scientist told Hudson there was nothing, although after removal of the individual elements a staggering 98% of the material was still left! Hudson had spent a lot of money on the analyses and left the university completely disappointed in academic science.\n\nDissatisfied but determined, Hudson sought out a German expert who, together with him, was willing to analyze the stuff further and build special machinery to do this. The assays showed that it contained various precious elements such as platinum and variants thereof, like rhodium, iridium, ruthenium and osmium.\n\nThe tests also showed that this material reacted differently to various heat and cold treatments. The time period to which they exposed the stuff to hot or cold temperatures also produced different results. The turning point was at 70 seconds heat treatment. When Hudson stopped the process at 69 seconds the powder contained no precious elements, yet at 70 seconds or over it did.\n\nHudson then went to a specialist at the University of Iowa. They conducted several experiments and once again produced the most amazing results. The material expressions of the stuff magically changed depending on the degree of warming or cooling they subjected it to. Among these forms were a white powder but also glass. Elements such as iron spontaneously disappeared or morphed into other elements. The material also changed weight, particularly when exposed to air.\n\nHudson was advised to patent these elements to prevent others from using his findings and keep him from experimenting further. In March of 1988 Hudson patented these elements which he called Orbitally Rearranged Monoatomic Elements, or ORMEs. This has become known as Ormus and stands for what are twelve known elements which exist both in a material and an immaterial, energetic form.\n\nHudson found this out by getting in touch with one of the American pioneers of quantum physics, Hal Puthoff. Puthoff explained to him the strange phenomena associated with Ormus. Ormus elements are capable of losing their material form under the influence of warmth and sunlight, making them no longer subject to the laws of gravity and even capable of dissolving into sunlight. This is what Hudson had witnessed when he dried the material in the hot sun. The Ormus had literally become one with the light and transferred to another dimension in which there is no space-time. By cooling it down, he learned to bring back the stuff to the exact place where he had laid it to dry, back to the material world of space-time in which we live.\n\nOrmus is a superconductor. These elements resonate with the primal energy, the zero point from which all life originates and which is a quantum potential of possibilities. Ormus is one with this endless source of energy, which can be found in the air, the soil, plants, stones and the sea. Hudson even showed by dissecting animal brains that they too contained Ormus. According to Hudson our brains contain at least 5% Ormus. This percentage can be raised considerably if we take in food and water with a high Ormus content.\n\nIt is exactly these foods that are so sadly lacking today. Hudson refers to Ormus as 'the light of life' and 'the Spirit'. He claims it not only makes us more spiritual but that it's capable of correcting DNA too. Now think of the experiments the alchemists carried out in which they tried to change metals into gold and made a white powder out of gold. The church persecuted, tortured and killed these people. What did they know that we're not supposed to know? The ancient Egyptians also knew. Gold has always been the true money and has remained so to this day. But the true value of gold may well be medicinal and spiritual instead of material.\n\nThere are, unfortunately, dark and powerful forces at work which are trying to keep us from realizing our true potential, our true evolution to a higher consciousness. They are spreading death energy across the planet. They do so by controlling our food and money supply. They are the inventors of NPK agriculture, which is based on growing crops with a bare minimum of three elements: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). This technique came out of the successes they had had in World War One with nitrogen bombs. Plants grown with NPK cannot survive in nature because she sends a 'clean-up crew' of insects and fungi to dispose of these weak organisms. That's why the crops are 'treated' with pesticides, which in turn are a variation of nerve gas.\n\nThus an unnatural product is kept artificially alive using war chemistry. As a result, we develop a structural mineral (and therefore Ormus) deficiency and ingest dangerous toxins which mess with our hormonal and nervous system. The diseases caused by this are then 'treated' with even more war-based chemicals. Like chemo therapy, for instance, which is nothing more than a variation of mustard gas.\n\nGenetic engineering of crops such as corn, cotton, canola and soy is done to alter the natural genetic blueprint of these crops so they can be patented. This is done by making the plant sick using a cancer or virus to penetrate the plant's DNA. Animals don't fare much better. Millions of cows, pigs and chickens are kept in circumstances which would normally cause the animals to drop dead on their feet. Yet with medication, growth hormones and synthetic minerals they are kept alive long enough to be sent to the slaughter house. This process happens so quickly that many animals are skinned alive. The suffering of these animals defies description and you end up with sick plants and animals and death energy on your plate. Is this the kind of 'food' you'd like to eat? Is it any wonder only 5% of the world population are free thinkers?\n\nExperiments show that Ormus is most abundant in the sea. Not so strange when you consider that sea water covers 70% of the earth's surface and is the primal soup of all life on this planet. All known and unknown minerals on this planet are concentrated in sea water. Grow your own veggies and fruit with these building blocks of life using diluted ocean water or sea salt. If you want to find out more about this, check out these two pages I wrote for NewsTarget:\n\n(http://www.newstarget.com/022309.html)\n\n(http://www.newstarget.com/022278.html)\n\nOrmus is available in its isolated form for growing plants:\n\n(http://www.c-gro.com/)\n(http://www.sea-crop.com/)\n\nOrmus is also available for human consumption:\n\n(http://www.mountain-manna.com/)\n(http://www.liquid-chi.com/)\n\nEat as many raw and untreated natural products from good soil and grown with love.

Breathe in as much forest air and sea air as possible.\n\nIn short, expose yourself to as much Ormus as possible. These are the known Ormus elements:\n\n* Cobalt\n\n* Nickel\n\n* Copper\n\n* Ruthenium\n\n* Rhodium\n\n* Palladium\n\n* Silver\n\n* Osmium\n\n* Iridium\n\n* Platinum\n\n* Gold\n\n* Mercury\n\nThose who want to know more about Ormus should check out Barry Carter's webpage:\n\n(http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/index.ht...)\n\nOrmus is life energy. This is sorely needed as a counterweight to the death energy we are exposed to daily through our food, our drinking water, our 'medicines', electromagnetic fields and radioactivity due to the use of depleted uranium by a flourishing war industry. This negative energy keeps us sick and dumb.\n\nBut it doesn't have to be like this. Remember that the force of life is always stronger than the force of death and darkness is merely the absence of light. All you need to do is surround yourself by the light. It's all around and inside you.",

      "body": "There are three ways in which consciousness can flow into what you do and thus through you into this world, three modalities in which you can align your life with the creative power of the universe. Modality means the underlying energy¬ frequency that flows into what you do and connects your actions with the awakened consciousness that is emerging into this world. What you do will be dysfunctional and of the ego, unless it arises out of one of these three modalities. They may change during the course of a day, although one of them may be dominant during a certain stage in your life.\nEach modality is appropriate to certain situations. The modalities of awakened doing are acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm. Each one represents a certain vibrational frequency of consciousness. You need to be vigilant to make sure that one of them operates whenever you are engaged in doing anything at all–from the most simple task to the most complex. If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment, or enthusiasm, look closely and you will find that you are creating suffering for yourself and others.\nAcceptance\nWhatever you cannot enjoy doing, you can at least accept that this is what you have to do. Acceptance means: For now, this is what this situation, this moment, requires me to do, and so I do it willingly.\nFor example, you probably won’t be able to enjoy changing the flat tire on your car at night, in the middle of nowhere and in the pouring rain, let alone be enthusiastic about it, but you can bring acceptance to it. Performing an action in the state of acceptance means you are at peace while you do it. That peace is a subtle energy vibration which then flows into what you do.\n \n“To complain is always non-acceptance of what is.” ~ Eckhart Tolle.\nOn the surface, acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality it is active and creative because it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, that subtle energy vibration, is consciousness, and one of the ways in which it enters this world is through surrendered action, one aspect of which is acceptance. If you can neither enjoy or bring acceptance to what you do–stop. Otherwise, you are not taking responsibility for the only thing you can really take responsibility for, which also happens to be one thing that really matters: your state of consciousness.\nAnd if you are not taking responsibility for your state of consciousness, you are not taking responsibility for life.\n\nEnjoyment\nThe peace that comes with surrendered action turns into a sense of aliveness when you actually enjoy what you are doing. Enjoyment is the second modality of awakened doing. On the new earth, enjoyment will replace wanting as the motivating power behind people’s actions. Wanting arises from the ego’s delusion that you are a separate fragment that is disconnected from the power that lies behind all creation.\nThrough enjoyment, you link into that universal creative power itself. When you make the present moment, instead of past and future, the focal point of your life, your ability to enjoy what you do–and with it, the quality of your life–increases dramatically. Joy is the dynamic aspect of Being. When the creative power of the universe becomes conscious of itself, it manifests as joy. You don’t have to wait for something ‘meaningful’ to come into your life so that you can finally enjoy what you do. There is more meaning in joy than you will ever need. The ‘waiting to start living’ syndrome is one of the most common delusions of the unconscious state.\n \nMake the present moment your focal point and you will naturally find joy.\nExpansion and positive change on the outer level are much more likely to come into your life if you can enjoy what you are doing already, instead of waiting for some change so that you can start enjoying what you do. Don’t ask your mind for permission to enjoy what you do. All you will get is plenty of reasons why you can’t enjoy it. “Not now,” the mind will say. “Can’t you see I’m busy? There’s no time. Maybe tomorrow you can start enjoying….” That tomorrow will never come unless you begin enjoying what you are doing now. When you say, I enjoy doing this or that, it is really a misperception. It makes it appear that the joy comes from what you do, but that is not the case.\nJoy does not come from what you do, it flows into what you do and thus into this world from deep within you. The misperception that joy comes from what you do is normal, and it is also dangerous because it creates the belief that joy is something that can be derived from something else, such as an activity or thing. You then look to the world to bring you joy, happiness. But it cannot do that. This is why many people live in constant frustration. The world is not giving them what they think they need. Then what is the relationship between something that you do and the state of joy? You will enjoy any activity in which you are fully present, any activity that is not just a means to an end. It isn’t the action you perform that you really enjoy, but the deep sense of aliveness that flows into it. That aliveness is one with who you are. This means that when you enjoy doing something, you are really experiencing the joy of Being in its dynamic aspect. That’s why anything you enjoy doing connects you with the power behind all creation.\n\n\nHow to Bring Empowerment and Creative Expansion into Your Life\nMake a list of a number of everyday routine activities that you perform frequently. Include activities that you may consider uninteresting, boring, tedious, irritating, or stressful. But don’t include anything that you hate or detest doing. That’s a case either for acceptance or for stopping what you do. The list may include traveling to and from work, buying groceries, doing your laundry, or anything that you find tedious or stressful in your daily work. Then, whenever you are engaged in those activities, let them be a vehicle for alertness. Be absolutely present in what you do and sense the alert, alive stillness within you in the background of the activity. You will soon find that what you do in such a state of heightened awareness, instead of being stressful, tedious, or irritating, is actually becoming enjoyable. To be more precise, what you are enjoying is not really the outward action but the inner dimension of consciousness that flows into the action. This is finding the joy of Being in what you are doing. If you feel your life lacks significance or is too stressful or tedious, it is because you haven’t brought that dimension into your life yet.\n \nFind the joy of Being in everything that you do.\nBeing conscious in what you do has not yet become your main aim. The new earth arises as more and more people discover that their main purpose in life is to bring the light of consciousness into this world, and so use whatever they do as a vehicle for consciousness. The joy of Being is the joy of being conscious. Awakened consciousness then takes over from ego and begins to run your life. You may then find that an activity that you have been engaged in for a long time naturally begins to expand into something much bigger when it becomes empowered by consciousness.\nSome of those people who, through creative action, enrich the lives of many others, simply do what they enjoy doing most without wanting to achieve or become anything through that activity. They may be musicians, artists, writers, scientists, teachers, or builders, or they may bring into manifestation new social or business structures (enlightened businesses). Sometimes for a few years, their sphere of influence remains small and then it can happen that, suddenly or gradually, a wave of creative empowerment flows into what they do, and their activity expands beyond anything they could have imagined and touches countless others. In addition to enjoyment, an intensity is now added to what they do and with it comes a creativity that goes beyond anything an ordinary human could accomplish. But don’t let it go to your head because up there is where a remnant of ego may be hiding. You are still an ordinary human. What is extraordinary is what comes through you into this world. That essence you share with all beings. The fourteenth¬ century Persian poet and Sufi master, Hafiz, expresses this truth beautifully:\nI am a hole in a flute that the Christ’s breath moves through. Listen to this music.\n\nEnthusiasm\nThen there is another way of creative manifestation that may come to those who remain true to their inner purpose of awakening. Suddenly, one day, they know what their outer purpose is. They have a great vision, a goal, and from then on they work toward implementing that goal. Their goal or vision is usually connected in some way to something that on a smaller scale they are doing and enjoy doing already. This is where the third modality of awakened doing arises: enthusiasm.\n \nWhen something you enjoy doing becomes empowered by consciousness, its potential expands.\nEnthusiasm means there is deep enjoyment in what you do, plus the added element of a goal or a vision that you work toward. When you add a goal to the enjoyment of what you do, the energy¬ field or vibrational frequency changes. A certain degree of what we might call ‘structural tension’ is now added to the enjoyment, and so it turns into enthusiasm. At the height of creative activity fuelled by enthusiasm, there will be enormous intensity and energy behind what you do. You will feel like an arrow that is moving toward the target–and enjoying the journey. To an onlooker, it may appear that you are under stress, but the intensity of enthusiasm has nothing to do with stress. When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you are doing, you become stressed. The balance between enjoyment and structural tension is lost, and the latter has won. When there is stress, it is usually a sign that the ego has returned, and you are cutting yourself off from the creative power of the universe. Instead, there is only the force and strain of egoic wanting, and so you have to struggle and ‘work hard’ to make it.\nStress always diminishes both the quality and effectiveness of what you do under its influence. There is also a strong link between stress and negative emotions, such as anxiety and anger. It is toxic to the body and is now becoming recognized as one of the main causes of the so¬-called degenerative diseases, such as cancer and heart disease. Unlike stress, enthusiasm has a high energy frequency and so resonates with the creative power of the universe. This is why Ralph Waldo Emerson said:\nNothing great has ever been achieved without enthusiasm.\nThe word enthusiasm comes from ancient Greek–en and theos meaning God. And the related word enthousiazein means “to be possessed by a god.” With enthusiasm, you will find that you don’t have to do it all by yourself. In fact, there is nothing of significance that you can do by yourself. Sustained enthusiasm brings into existence a wave of creative energy, and all you have to do then is ‘ride the wave.’ Enthusiasm brings an enormous empowerment into what you do, so that all those who have not accessed that power would look upon your achievements in awe and may equate them with who you are. You, however, know the truth that Jesus pointed to when he said, “I can of my own self do nothing.”  Unlike egoic wanting, which creates opposition in direct proportion to the intensity of its wanting, enthusiasm never opposes. It is non¬confrontational.\n \nSustained enthusiasm brings into existence a wave of creative energy.\nIts activity does not create winners and losers. It is based on inclusion, not exclusion, of others. It does not need to use and manipulate people because it is the power of creation itself, and so does not need to take energy from some secondary source. The ego’s wanting always tries to take from something or someone; enthusiasm gives out of its own abundance. When enthusiasm encounters obstacles in the form of adverse situations or uncooperative people, it never attacks but walks around them, or by yielding or embracing, turns the opposing energy into a helpful one; the foe into a friend. Enthusiasm and the ego cannot coexist. One implies the absence of the other. Enthusiasm knows where it is going, but at the same time, it is deeply at one with the present moment; the source of its aliveness, its joy, and its power. Enthusiasm ‘wants’ nothing because it lacks nothing. It is at one with life and, no matter how dynamic the enthusiasm¬ inspired activities are, you don’t lose yourself in them. And there remains always a still, but intensely alive, space at the center of the wheel; a core of peace in the midst of activity that is both the source of all and untouched by it all.\nThrough enthusiasm, you enter into full alignment with the outgoing creative principle of the universe, but without identifying with its creation; that is to say, without ego. Where there is no identification, there is no attachment–one of the great sources of suffering. Once a wave of creative energy has passed, structural tension diminishes again and joy in what you are doing remains. Nobody can live in enthusiasm all the time. A new wave of creative energy may come later and lead to renewed enthusiasm. When the return movement toward the dissolution of form sets in, enthusiasm no longer serves you. Enthusiasm belongs to the outgoing cycle of life. It is only through surrender that you can align yourself with the return movement–the journey home.\nTo sum up: Enjoyment of what you are doing, combined with a goal or vision that you work towards, becomes enthusiasm. Even though you have a goal, what you are doing in the present moment needs to remain the focal point of your attention; otherwise, you will fall out of alignment with universal purpose. Make sure your vision or goal is not an inflated image of yourself and therefore a concealed form of ego, such as wanting to become a movie star, a famous writer, or a wealthy entrepreneur. Also, make sure your goal is not focused on having this or that, such as a mansion by the sea, your own company, or ten million dollars in the bank. An enlarged image of yourself or a vision of yourself having this or that are all static goals and therefore don’t empower you. Instead, make sure your goals are dynamic, that is to say, point toward an activity that you are engaged in and through which you are connected to other human beings as well as to the whole. Instead of seeing yourself as a famous actor and writer and so on, see yourself inspiring countless people with your work and enriching their lives. Feel how that activity enriches or deepens not only your life but that of countless others. Feel yourself being an opening through which energy flows from the unmanifested Source of all life through you, for the benefit.",
