Hello,

In this week’s edition, I explain how to initiate solving a problem. Then, I discuss the gold standard, the corruption and impending failure of the fiat system in the wake of inflation, why politicians are pushing inflation to astronomical new levels, and why they’re lying about it.

Advice

Set Yourself Forward To Solve A Problem

First, you admit that there is a problem. Second, you admit that you have something to learn. The third thing you do is to ask for revelation of the thing that you need to learn. And maybe you open yourself up to receipt of that in dialogue with someone else, but it is also something that can make itself manifest within. 

You might say, “Well, you thought that up.” That is not really how it works. You ask the question and if you are extraordinarily fortunate — maybe that means you were on your knees with sufficient intensity — a redemptive answer will make itself manifest, and that is the offering up, the sacrificial offering up, and the descent of something like the unifying spirit, practically speaking.

Why Marriage Is The Highest Form Of Play

What are you sacrificing to get married? Well, let’s think about it: What are you sacrificing? Foolish, juvenile, shortsighted, hedonistic, nihilist, cynical, psychopathic, impulsive promiscuity — that is what you are sacrificing. You might want to sacrifice that because that sounds like a pretty decent collection of demons, and you probably do not want that cluttering up your life. What? You are going to be Peter Pan? King of the Lost Boys? You are never going to grow up? What grows you up? Responsibility. Sacrifice. A vision of the future.
