Can you stay in this vibe when you are running up credit cards to buy food and can't pay for you and your childrens' home? Even for a person, such as myself, devoted to the betterment of humanity, full of love and life and willing to give, and did no evils to anyone that I am supposed to learn what I already knew to be true? Sorry for saying this but it's poppycock! That is how I feel anyway. This is all about the people being willing to put up with this crap from a handful of crooks in the world, plain and simple. Once the people rise up and throw the government and those who control it to the curb, we won't see this crap anymore.

It can be used to help us "see" and grow. It is important to act rather than react to the present situation so the future moment or siuation will improve. :) I learned that no matter what hardship we face.

Just imagine what we could do with some money too! Seriously though, I have yet to meet the middle-class or upper-class citizen who considers their own wealth "in excess".

I love the idea of removing excess. That is exactly what needs to happen in the current economic downtown. We need to get read of excess spending, excess waste, excess debt, and excess rushing around.

It reminds me of a passage in "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle where he challenges the reader to think of the pain they have experienced in their life as a gift, for it is this pain that has led them to a higher state of consciousness. The financial crisis is causing much pain, and there is understandably a lot of anger being directed at the bankers on Wall St. But the crisis has also revealed the ugliness of society that places such high value in acquiring money, social status and "things". Let's hope people do, in fact, use this opportunity to correct these misplaced desires. <abbr><em>Peter | The Change Blogs last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheChangeBlog/~3/489699488/" rel="nofollow">The Universe Works If You Get Out The Way</a></abbr></em> Hi Kent,
