Our Cyclical Nature

"The day will come when you think it's the end. It will be the beginning.

Metaphysically and spiritually, this quote reflects the profound belief in the cyclical nature of existence. It suggests that what may appear as a finality—whether in life, a journey, or a significant chapter—often serves as the threshold for transformation and renewal.

The aphorism also suggests that what may appear as a finality — in life, a journey, or one of life's myriad chapters — often serves as the starting point for a spiritual awakening.

There is no finality to spirit. Our physical demise is not seen as a termination point, but as opportunities for growth, evolution, and discovering deeper truths. This perspective aligns with many ancient teachings, where the collapse of the old leads to the birth of the new, emphasizing the eternal dance between death and rebirth in the physical and spiritual realms. Our brief sojourn to the dense planet called Earth, is primarily for the maturation of the soul.

Our life on this planet is not a courtroom but a classroom. The purpose of human existence is not judgment or punishment, but education and growth. Life is viewed as an ongoing process of learning, where challenges, experiences, and relationships serve as lessons for the evolution of the Soul. 

This analogy clashes with the notion of life as a space of moral retribution or pious judgment. It implies that mistakes and difficulties are not to be viewed as condemnation, but embraced as opportunities for personal and spiritual refinement. 

In order to grow, we had to leave the transcendent state of Nirvana, where there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self. This buttresses the concept that our earthly existence is a departure from a higher, more sublime reality. 

In many spiritual traditions, the physical world is seen as a temporary stage where souls undergo trials and experiences necessary for their advancement. By leaving our "real" home—our spiritual origin—we enter a realm of duality and impermanence, where growth is facilitated through the experience of contrast: light and darkness, joy and suffering, and separation and reunion. This journey of separation from the spiritual home is not a loss but an essential step for the soul to evolve and eventually return to its source with greater wisdom and understanding.

Everything in existence, including the words we speak, is energy. This energy follows the flow of our attention, meaning that wherever we focus our thoughts and emotions, we direct our personal power. When we harbor negative energy, such as hatred or resentment, we channel that energy into our lives and the world around us. Over time, this can manifest as destructive outcomes, both internally and externally. Energy operates like a magnet, attracting experiences and realities that resonate with our inner state. A mindset rooted in anger or vengeance, no matter how justified by past wrongs, becomes self-destructive, pulling us into lower vibrations and away from our higher spiritual potential.

At the core of every sentient being, experiencing life in human form, is love. This pure, unconditional love represents our true essence, but in this material world, we assume egos—constructed identities that can generate feelings of fear, separation, and hatred. 

While the historical and ongoing injustices faced by the African American community are undeniable, responding to this pain with aggression or malice perpetuates a cycle of suffering. From a spiritual standpoint, such actions create negative karma, binding us to the cycle of birth and rebirth in lower vibrational dimensions. The path to healing and liberation lies not in retaliating, but in transcending the ego and reclaiming the love and higher consciousness that are our true nature. Only through this inner transformation can we break free from the karmic cycles and elevate ourselves to higher levels of spiritual evolution.

My Own Boss: The Wonders of Wall Street

Not really focused on "falling in love", actually I think it's a tad overrated... and the comment, "A woman would have to get-in-where-she-fits-in," was not meant for you or about you. I was just speaking in general.

I LOVE my new career as an Equity and Currency Trader. This being my first week of 'freedom' (severed ties with Corporate America 6 days ago, after 3+ decades) when I'm not working out, I'm upstairs in my bedroom, binging on movies. I have Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Xfinity On Demand. In the last few days, I've watched "Ms. Sloane", "I Like You A Lot", a "Thomas Sowell" documentary, "Arbitrage", and a few other great movies. At the present time, I'm watching "The Escort", which is shaping up to be a nice love story.

I'm also writing this article, "My Own Boss: The Wonders of Wall Street" ... and guess what, as I'm writing, watching this movie, starring Lyndsy Fonseca and Michael Doneger, I'm checking my Robinhood, Morgan Stanley, and E-TRADE accounts, fascinated because my net worth is increasing literally by the minute. 

This boon is occurring while I'm in basic cruise control and simultaneously responding to your text message. Trying to nurture a relationship (again, not talking about you) at this point in my life would only be a hindrance; sort of like an anchor... no offense to the ladies.

The problem with most women is, if a man's dialogue is not 'all about her', whatever the guy says, simply does not compute; it does not register. 

Truth be told, most women on the other side of 50, that's single and looking for love, and especially if she's not caring for herself intellectually and physically, sorry to say, she's tantamount to an overpriced stock. 

Feeding the System

The System, aka 'The Beast', is what has our world off kilter. It's what has created an implosion and erosion of humanity and our planet. The waves of global animosity are at heightened, calamitous levels.

What feeds waves? There can be no life without a wave form. It is life. When a wave stops, so does life. So it must be fed, it must have energy. To get a light bulb to glow, to emit it's light waveform, it must be energized. It has to be fed. 

Over billions of years life on planet earth evolved out of chaos. There were volcanoes, earthquakes, storms, which eventually all settled down to create the optimal place for life to exist. 

Millions of years later, here we are. But alongside of us, something else evolved - EVIL. 

As beings of light, we have not received the necessary energy from plants, from being one with nature. Eating animal flesh and considering ourselves as outside, or disconnected from our planetary ecosystem, is what has placed us in this revolting and devastating global quagmire.

Instead, this evolved chaotic maleficence has been buttressed by negative energy: War, Religion, Avarice, Jealousy, and Animosity. We feed these entities with our hatred, greed, manipulation, and sinister desires. 

Without war, they starve... in peace, they perish. Our positive energy is being usurped by fear. This is why and how humankind is constantly manipulated to battle, to hate one another. We are creating food for the demonic energy that so pervades our world, and WE MUST STOP!

We must stop playing the game they want us to play and seek peace with each other, regardless of the reasons. 

The reasons for our hatred are those created by the 'Elite Secret Cabals'. Hatred of one religion over another is a prime example. There are no religions. They are created; they are imaginary. The difference between humans and their religions is a farce. And yet, this ruse has been used to foster divisiveness and hate for millinea.  

The solution lies in not being part of the system. It's simple but difficult to see because it involves every element of our lives. 

The food we eat is mostly garbage. If man has a hand in it, it's bad. Most of what we eat is carcinogenic. If it is not natural, it is not good. If man has had his hand in it, then watch out, it's part of the system. This same premise is applicable to all aspects of our existence... drugs, clothing, housing, finance, everything! 

Practically everything is part of the system; feeding the system. Extricating ourselves from the system and reconnecting to nature, will take us back to a time when we were a peaceful species. A time before war. A time before jealousy and hatred seeped into our consciousness. 

A former enlightened coworker, Marsha, was the first person to introduce me to metaphysical concepts, over 25 years ago. One thing she told me that I will never forget is, when she consistently consumed a clean, vegetarian diet, along with exercise, she would often get assistance and communicate with beings from another dimension... a dimension of love and peace.

Money Does Not Sleep

I dream often.. for 2 years straight, I kept a dream log, still stored on an old phone in a Notes App... and I often dream in real-time... 

Said that to say this...

One fact about being a full-time Equities Trader is, you either make money while sleeping, or you lose money while sleeping. If you're making safe trades -- doing your research, studying the market, watching CNBC -- and not placing all your eggs in one basket (DIVERSIFY), 8 out of 10 times you'll profit while you sleep. 

Knowing that you'll most likely have a 'bullish' night leads to sound sleep, which is what produces enlightening, pleasant, often humorous dreams. And laughter is fuel for the Soul.
