ICELAND'S BANKING
FAILURE
Did you
notice that all of Iceland's banks were seized and closed (ie
bankrupted) in a matter of two days last week, starting on October
7th? That was immediately followed by their currency, the krona,
completely collapsing on the international markets. The krona no
longer has any value at all in terms of trading it for any other
currency. Icelanders are able to use it in their own country, but
cannot buy anything from other countries with it. And of course,
Iceland at this time has no banks. This has worldwide
implications, most immediately for Britain and Europe, since these
Iceland banks were the bank of choice for many major companies in Europe and
Britain. This is now in the process of rippling through the
rest of the global financial system.
I bring this to your
attention, because it follows the pattern that I mentioned in one of
my previous email updates. I also sent out a link to this site in
the Q4 newsletter. This is the impact of compounding, which this
short video lesson explains at http://www.chrismartenson.com/crash-course/chapter-4-compounding-problem (I
also recommend that you watch this entire course, all in short
segments, so you will understand how all this is related to the
economy, energy and the environment)
Basically the example he gave from Dr
Alfred Bartlett is that in a water-tight Fenway Park, if at NOON, a
single drop of water is placed in the park, and each minute, the
amount of water doubles, how long will it take to fill Fenway
Park? The park will be full at 12:49 pm, but here's what's
important to understand. At 12:44 pm on the same day, 93% of the
park will still be empty. This is the problem. No one will even
notice there's a problem until the last few moments.
This is what Iceland experienced in
its banking system failure. By the time anyone realized there was a
problem, it was WAY too late to do anything about it. Iceland's
banking system failure is likely to become the pattern for how these
things will end up going down worldwide.
An interesting piece of information
that came from the web-bot guys who track changing linguistics on
the internet, (Cliff High from Half Past Human, transcript of
interview here http://www.projectcamelot.org/clif_high_half_past_human_26_sept_2008.html)
showed that tension was building up September 22nd through October
6th. But beginning October 7th through mid-March, there was an
emotional release (the example they gave of an emotional release was
"Oh my god, the dog died!"). They also mentioned the emotional release for 911
lasted only 11 days. So whatever we're in the midst of
is a much bigger deal than 911, since this release will last through
the middle of March according to their data.
Remember, whatever happens is
happening so we can rebuild a sustainable economy and a sustainable
world. I've been urging you to take prudent steps for a long time.
Hopefully you are ready for whatever happens and you will be able to
remain calm throughout it. We are remodeling, and you are
watching the part where we take down the walls so we can rewire and
replumb the economy. I know it doesn't look too good now, but
remember the long-term goal: sustainability. If we can stay in
our hearts and use our intuition through this process, we will all
be fine.

LAST WEEKS MARKET
FAILURES
Before I discuss the stock market, I first
want to mention a major market failure that happened right before
that. The commercial paper market lost over $200 billion and failed.
That meant that large companies which typically use this market to
cover cash shortages for payroll and other operation expenses could
not get loans. So the Fed stepped in to cover loans for the
commercial paper market, since that market was frozen. This
means the Fed will make loans to thousands of large companies
(non-financial companies), as well as to banks, and investment
firms.
This occurred in the midst of a cycle (Sun square
Jupiter) when we all had a tendency to over-reach and over-extend
ourselves. I am sure this will happen for the Fed too. It may not
happen this week, though it could at the rate things are changing.
But astrologically it seems more likely to happen in late
November or early December, when cycles of over-extension in the
Fed's chart become apparent at the same time that it's under
pressure to transform. When the Fed becomes over-extended,
that's the most likely time we may see a banking system shut down,
due to not enough liquidity to balance the system. This could
change and happen sooner if the G7 decides to have an international
"banking holiday". It's always a good idea to have enough cash on
hand to pay for a week's expenses.
Our
Stock Market:
On October 9th, we had the one year
anniversary of the market's high, when the Dow reached 14,164 on
October 9, 2007. The irony that the market dropped to more than 40%
lower one year later seems unbelievable. I'm sure all of you are
wondering where the bottom is. I heard Martin Weiss predict the
bottom of the Dow at 7200. Other people have called to tell me 5500.
Still others say it will be 2000.
The truth is that the bottom will be
whatever we create collectively with our fear. If you want the
markets to stabilize, you need torelease your fear and hold energy
for the markets to stabilize. As you release your fear,
energetically this gets added to the collective consciousness and
then others can release their fear too. As more people release their
fears, the markets will stabilize. The sooner we do this, the sooner
it will happen. Everything gets created at the energetic level
first, including the stock market.
It's likely that we will see the
stock markets stabilze from October 26th through November 23rd,
when Jupiter sextiles Uranus while it trines Saturn. But a lot
can happen in the meantime.
Derivatives
Without a doubt we're going to see
the derivatives markets fail , and probably just as quickly as
we saw Iceland's banking system collapse, and with the same amount
of warning (very little). We don't know when this will happen
precisely, since all these derivatives have different "birth" dates
and it's hard to know when the lynch pin will get pulled. Maybe they
will survive through the end of this year, but Pluto in
Capricorn starts Nov 26th and any time after that, this more
probable. At some point though, ( Dec, Jan or Feb), trillions and
trillions of dollars of derivatives will crash (which were only
backed by only billions of dollars to begin with), along with the
banks, investment firms, and hedge funds that own them.
Whenever this happens, hopefully you
will not be in the stock markets, and you will remember not to go
into fear as it occurs. These things are failing because it's the
natural end of a system that is unsustainable.
Even the Federal Reserve (based on
it's astrological chart and the cycles it's receiving now through
2009) will undergo a tremendous change (probably
either nationalizing or abolishing it). In fact, it's likely
that ALL the private central banks in the world will undergo this
situation. But that doesn't mean that we can't salvage solid
companies and recreate a better banking and financial system. In
fact, it's the only way to do that. We have to clean out the
unsustainable structures before we can build something
better.
When you fully understand the banking
system, you will understand that money has been created through
creating debt, debt and more debt. This only works as long as there
are more and more new people,
companies or governments to take on
debt. This is needed so that other people already in debt can have
access to the money they need to pay interest and their principle
back. But like most ponzi schemes, the natural end to this system is
here. Everyone is too full of debt to bring in new lenders. So
there's not enough new money to create the interest that's needed to
pay the loans already made. This is another example of the
compounding problem, which always fails very quickly.
It's better to just allow the
changes to occur now. Don't spend energy in judgment of the people
who caused this or that to happen. That will only push money away
from YOU. If you really want to learn how to bring money to you in
any situation, including this one, you can still take 8 Keys
Prosperity Training by telephone now through June (with a break in
Dec). See below for more information. I'll also give a
prosperity workshop In Seattle on Nov 15th. See below.

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

and a 60- minute coaching session two weeks later. This format helps

flexibility throughout the program.
This program has a money-back guarantee if it doesn't
