On Bank Reform - Move Your Money

By Mitchell Jay Rabin

Mondays and Wednesdays at 6 pm

Wanna better world? We have to stare the challenges in the face, then drop in and make peace with the enemy, which is often our own fear, guilt, shame and greed, all borne of a fear of not having 'enough' of 'something', typically love. Ah, but we settle for the things of this world!

On a practical level, the banks that our government, on our behalf, 'bailed out' (thank you!) while an ever increasing number of people vacated their home, no not for vacation, but due to repossession by these very same banks due to non-payment of mortgages (remember Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey in one of my favorite films of all time, It's a Wonderful Life? Did he have the right attitude or what? "Yes, Mrs. Jones, I know your husband is out of work. When he can, please make a payment. Good luck now!"), and now it's "Get the marshall and move 'em on out! and Fast, because time is money! and then the house sits vacant, turning the neighborhood into a Squatter City...!)

Well, renowned economist and Congressional consultant Robert Johnson, over dinner with his wife and friends, came up with another plan. It's voting with the dollar, one of our favorite themes here at A Better World. For more, go to: www.moveyourmoney.info and get a glimpse of "our power" in the overall, economic situation.
"Our Power!"
 
Our power refers to so much. One of course, is what we buy is how we vote, what we want to empower, and by implication, dis-empower. This is the greatest form of voting in my view we have in this country, or any country, for that matter. It involves the "free flow of exchange of ideas" in the form of economic currency. That's one aspect of our "outer power".

Another of course, is our "inner power", our ability to be self-master, to know how to move our chi, our life-force, as we see fit, which involves moving our emotions, thoughts and Spirit. It also involves understanding and relating to the subconscious mind so it does not move us according to old, unwanted programs--these need to be identified and cleared out! and we have ways! And inner power relates to an inner knowing, which arises from the wisdom of our hearts, when we drop in and live from this glorious ubiquitous intelligence. More on that another time...

We are being challenged, and indeed, we will rise to the occasion, with strength, vigor, a smile, a touch of humor and love, the nothing will be the same!
