We live in a time of unprecedented government spending:
One essential takeaway from this runaway spending is that tens of millions of Americans were plunged into poverty by inflation due to money printing during the “lockdown” era, which was one big Department of Defense program:
The spending isn’t going to stop, so people are running to Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation:
People are also running to gold and silver.
A populist, revolutionary sentiment is beginning to rise that not even Trump can quell:
The prime ministers of the various G8 nations are busy posting pictures of their cats, taking vacations to hang out with billionaires, hanging out at Katy Perry concerts, smoke crack cocaine, or cutting backroom deals with India to bring in even more Indians to their countries.
That’s the macro view.
There is no one basic prescription for people to follow to get through these uncertain times that isn’t out there. Lots of people say, “Bitcoin, gold, silver, ammo, foodstuffs.”
Everyone’s circumstances are going to be different.
The thing with uncertain times is that there is a shortage of certainty. There is a centralization of influence that has gone on since the printing of trillions of dollars during the COVID military program that Trump is still proud of, to this day. The “middle class” of “influence” was severely damaged. What have influencers done in the wake of this?
-
quit
-
taken sponsorship and patronage in exchange for a diluted message
-
knuckled down and increased calls for donations
-
deferred to bigger fish
-
gone directly into politics to increase income
The halcyon days of Internet bloodsports are over. Debates aren’t being had so much as government money has flooded in the influence space. A lot of the “new” influencers are funny hairdo Gen Z kids from generational wealth who abide completely by the speech rules on social media but they put a dissident energy into what they do.
The key is to act certain. No matter what you’re doing. You can be doing funny video edits in a Best Buy – just act certain.
Those who offer up certainty are the ones who command attention. Attention is the last resource being mined in America.
Since the great mass of people have no self-knowledge, no ability to self-direct, they will gravitate toward the most certain voices in the room. Doesn’t matter what the arguments are. All that has passed. Government money is in everything. Nothing is worth what it was five years ago. Cynicism and certainty rule the roost. People’s survival instincts have long ago kicked in and they never went back offline. Resources are scarce! Everything is financialized. BlackRock owns everything. Revolutionary drums are beating. Fight or flight, fight or flight.
It is only in modern times that the dream, this fleeting and insignificant-looking product of the psyche, has met with such profound contempt. Formerly it was esteemed as a harbinger of fate, a portent and comforter, a messenger of the gods. Now we see it as the emissary of the unconscious, whose task it is to reveal the secrets that are hidden from the conscious mind, and this it does with astounding completeness. -Carl Jung
I have noticed that people are so beset by money anxieties that no one remembers their dreams anymore. You wake up, you come out of the undefended state the dreams had you in, and your survival strategy kicks in. Rinse and repeat. This is the daily grind. Tons of people work two jobs now, stretching into six or seven days a week.
Not everyone is going to make it.
I have no one-size fits all approach.
Dreams have something they can offer up to each individual. It is so important to remember them. They can offer the next step in your life. But they require that you go to bed relatively relaxed, keep some kind of writing pad next to your bed, and that you make a concerted effort to actually give a damn.
Not too easy in an age of rage and cynicism.
It can be done.
Your conscious mind is 5% of your mind’s total processing power. The other 95% is your subconscious mind. The subconscious manifests in dreams. This makes dream analysis as pertinent as it ever was.
If your days have become empty, turn to your dreams to figure out how to fill them up again.
Ask them, before your head hits the pillow, for what to do next.
There is a giant sucking void forming at the center of society. No, you’re not going crazy. The world is entering into a debt crisis. Few are willing to acknowledge the immensity of it. But if you reach out with your intuition, you will sense just how central and immense it is. Everyone’s lives are affected by it. People in power have done a phenomenal job of sucking the energy and life out of everyone. You feel it sometimes. This isn’t cause to be discouraged. But there are all manner of nihilist influencers using their charisma gifts to speed up the onset of this horrible decline.
Turn to your dreams!
Tune into them and tune out the charismatic chatter that’s out there. Your survival instincts can work for you but not if you enslave your conscious mind to purveyors of the Age.
This is how to deal with uncertainty.
Don’t just jam the thoughts of other people into your heads. They could be giving you marching orders that could lead you to your doom. Do you have the capacity to discern whether or not this is true? Likely not. Most people don’t give two licks about self-knowledge. The subconscious offers a scaling curriculum that most become fully apathetic about by the age of 21.
You can generate your own answers.
Turn away from influencers who seek to dominate your attention, to keep you accountable to their will to power. Turn away from people who insist on their presence in your psyche. Turn away from people who corrupt you. Turn away from influencers and their shallow advice. Turn away from all these secret-keepers. You are not hollow. You are being hollowed out!
Return to your dreams.
