SLOW MOTION FINANCIAL
DISSOLUTION Do you remember the info I
sent you last week about money dissolving between then and August
5th? Last week we had two announcements that I thought really showed
this situation. First Merrill Lynch announced a write-down
of $30 billion of mortage-related securities. They
basically sold them for 22 cents on the dollar. This now puts
pressure on all the other financial firms and banks to offload the
collaterized debts on their balance sheets by selling them for a lot
less than their book value today. Talk about money disappearing!
The second event was that General Motors announced a $15.5
billion loss for the QUARTER! How many more quarters do you think GM
will be with us at that rate? The fate of General Motors can be
argued both ways. It's true they have done this to themselves. They
could have followed the Japanese with hybrid small cars and other
options, but they didn't. Instead they stayed focused on gas
guzzling trucks and SUVs long past the time they should have seen
the writing on the wall. It's also true that over many years they
bought up patents on engines and other technologies that would have
cut the cost of fuel in half or less and ensured that these products
never saw the light of day. So in a real sense, this company is
reaping what it sowed.
From a different perspective
though, GM is like a micro-cosm of the economy. As this company
fails and tries to right itself, the jobs that will be displaced may
not come back. For every job that GM lays off, more people in retail
and service industries will be laid off, because those
unemployed people are not buying products or services. Notice
that the people who will be laid off probably have little or nothing
to do with the decisions that have led to this situation, especially
in the retail and service sectors.This is the ripple effect of how
our decisions and choices impact other people, even people we have
never met. For this reason, we can only hope that the most
benevolent outcome will occur and that GM will find a way to right
itself quickly.
August is one tough month for the financial
markets and for other large company losses. Beginning August
5th/6th (depending on your time zone), Venus, the planet of money
goes into the sign of Virgo, the sign where she's the least
comfortable and does the least good financially. While she's there
this month, she first conjuncts Saturn on August 13th. This
combination is associated with scarcitiy and not enough money.
We barely get out of that, when Venus trines Jupiter on August
16th. Wow! Some potential for abundance! However, this Jupiter
is in it's worst sign too (Capricorn) and retrograde (moving
backwards). This suggests that whatever abundance comes is delayed
and probably not as much as expected, but at least it's
something positive.
From there Venus gets into one disaster
after another. Next on August 23rd, she opposes Uranus, the planet
of sudden and unexpected surprises, and in this case, very challenging surprises.
Financially, this suggests getting blind-sided by something we're
not expecting. This could be a stock market crash, but it could also
be some other financial mess that shakes us up instead.
Then finally after that, Venus squares Pluto on August 29th.
This combination is associated with heavy debts that create major
challenges. Well we're certainly seeing a taste of what lies ahead
already with Merrill Lynch's $30 billion write-down. This could be
news that more financial companies decide to sell their
mortgage-related securities before they drop any further and just
get rid of them. Or perhaps this is news about the Federal debts and
how that is negatively impacting the US dolar. Whatever the
situation, it isn't pretty. In fact, most of this month looks pretty
challenging financially. So take
some prudent precautions.
Washington Mutual?
Do you
have deposits in Washington Mutual? If so, here's a warning. I
checked this bank's corporation cycles recently. It's possible it
might last until the end of this year. But it's also possible that
the upcoming Lunar Eclipse on August 16th will be the last
straw. It's true that even if the FDIC shuts it down, that all
deposits up to $100,000 are insured, but it's also true that the
FDIC has up to 6 months to pay you that money. If you have money in
Washington Mutual, I recommend you start looking for a safe
bank. Google "bank ratings" and start looking for something
safer.

THESE
EXPLOSIVE ENERGIES AND YOU
I'm going to tell you a story that
I witnessed in my own neighborhood related to the explosive energies
of Mars -Uranus opposition. There was a wonderful dog in my
neighborhood, an energetic and joyful malamute. Every time I took my
walk past her home, she greeted me in utter delight. But
lately she began looking sad and unhappy. She lost her spark and her
energy. I didn't realize that she wasn't getting walked any more.
Her owners hadn't trained her well and couldn't walk her easily
(malamutes are very large dogs). They had hired someone at one time
to walk her, but he had moved away and no one replaced
him.
Recently during these weeks of
explosive energies, she became overwhelmed with the extra electrical
energy that was running through her body (Mars opposite Uranus
impacted her). She had no way to discharge it, since she
wasn't getting any walks. She was simply chained up all day. Within
one week she bit three people. So the dog was taken to the pound to
be terminated. This was a tragedy and the owners realized it was
their fault. I was heartbroken.
I'm telling you this story because this type of
thing can happen to anyone during this cycle, not just a dog. You
can substitute the name of anyone you know, (friend, lover, child,
neighbor, co-worker, family member, etc) who is having a hard time
with these energies. Realize that if someone is acting cranky or
aggitated now, they probaby need extra exercise and attention to
release the build-up of these electrical energies out of their
body. Don't try to handle this with more restrictive measures.
Not only will that not do any good, it could cause a lot of harm.
Get some extra exercise
for yourself too. You can't repress these energies and they can be
dangerous, so take some extra precautions to deal with
them. ____________________________________
ANNOUNCING
OUR REVAMPED 8 KEYS
PROSPERITY PROGRAM
JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME!
CLASSES START
OCTOBER 9TH
As
the financial cracks in our system become bigger, it becomes more
urgent for us to understand how our personal, business, and national
finances are created energetically first, before they
manifest in our bank accounts. Understanding how this works is what
allows us to create something better. We’re usually so
focused on the mechanics of making money, that we fail to notice the
energy we’re putting out with our products and services (often
stress and anxiety) is what’s coming back to us.
In
an effort to assist our clients and customers in creating a higher
level of prosperity, Polaris began teaching 8 Keys to the
Ultimately Prosperous Business in the fall of 2002. In that
amount of time, a lot of new information has come out to further
support our efforts in teaching these concepts. So this year, Peg
Donahue and I have revamped 8 Keys and we hope you will take
advantage of it. It still contains many key ingredients for the
program, including the Emotional Freedom and Healing release to
release fears out of your body related to money.
Who should take 8 Keys?
·
Anyone who works and
wants to accomplish more by doing less
·
Anyone concerned
about their personal or business finances
·
Anyone who wants to
feel safe as the country goes through this major change to the
financial system
·
Companies and
individuals who don’t want to join the economic downturn
This
course is taught by telephone with a 75-minute class once a month
and a 60- minute coaching session two weeks later. This format helps
participants integrate the information at a deeper level. The
program lasts for a total of 8 months, (October – June, since we
take a break for the holidays), and we offer both telephone and
online recordings, in case you miss a session. We also provide study
guides for the program online.
This program has a money-back guarantee if it doesn't
work for you. The only things you're likely to lose with this
program are your old patterns, fears and blockages related
to not having enough money, which prevent you from being
more prosperous. We offer both monthly and discount
payment options.

Business

your company wants to get on the prosperity track, we will offer a

NEXT RADIO SHOW: THIS
FRIDAY, August 8th
Economic Update for
August
This Friday, August 8th
I'll be providing an Economic Update
for August. I’ll talk about what to expect of the economy and
the financial institutions through the month of August. I’ll also
discuss how to prepare for the economic changes we’re headed
through. Write downs for $30 billion have strong rippling effects!
Last week on August 1st,
my show was about Time for
Breakthroughs. I discussed the most positive ways you can use
these volatile energies and the eclipses to remove obstacles and
make changes. Using these energies negatively, could
create a breakdown instead. It's better to focus on creating a
positive outcome and let the Universe assist you in co-creating
it.
July 25th, my topic
was on How to Work in Harmony with
the Universe. I discussed several ways to work in
harmony with the Universe, so you don't have to work so hard. Since
my webmaster will be on vacation until next week, you can listen to
this now at the Dr Pat Show
archive.
On July 18th, special guest Peg
Donahue discussed The Science
Behind Prosperity. Scientists have identified the hidden
links to prosperity and now you can too. She discussed cutting edge
information from Lynne McTaggert, Candace Pert, and Bruce Lipton
that relates to your prosperity. Discover what’s more important to
your bank account than the economy.
