Last evening after a chat about December 21, 2012 I spoke about how economies are false. They are manipulated by humans. Below is a historical review of the prime interest rate. Mortgages are generally set 1% above prime.
As you peruse this, I am curious as to your thoughts given the history of our world. What do you believe justifies this. And please do not spew academic nonsense. This, too, is manipulated to answer the question.
Just 84 years ago this began at 2%.
1948 2
1956 4
1966 6
1970 8
1972 4.5
1974 11
1975 7
1978 11.75
1980 20
2012 3.25
This is quite of interest to this blogger. The burst in the bubble happened for a reason. Do you know why? Think human construct as you respond.

A Model Company - LLBean
Of course, I can't pretend to know what goes on in the board room, but I love dealing with LLBean. They are consistently kind, compassionate and caring. Speaking with them is like speaking to a long lost friend. It makes me want to buy from them.
They have a no-hassle return policy, too. Could it be the heartiness that attracts people to Maine? Maybe it is that the only people who survive in Maine are hearty. I don't profess to know which but I like them! Not too easy to know as a rule, but great folks often are not.
So while I had to tell the story about Comcast (they call themselves a communications company, too. They can't even stop the drop calls. Maybe they don't like Verizon Wireless folks?) because it is a story all too familiar for many of us. I wish them lots and lots and lots of competition. In the short run, competition (used) to ferret out the lousy customer service. That didn't hold to well with Frontier Communications (cough). Glad to be rid of them!
Here's to you, LLBean. The best in the coming year! You deserve it.

Seven More...
Seven more phone calls (3-4-5 minutes holding time) before I am again disconnected. Getting clever this time I decided to go to customer service directly. Of course, I have tried that in the past with about a 30% success rate. Today I reached COMCAST MEXICO!
Twenty-three minutes into the conversation (a total of 10 minutes holding waiting for a Supervisor and then the Super's Super) these folks finally offered me something for their FIVE errors.
They will learn the error of their ways via karma. I don't like liars. Dishonesty. I found a bunch of them recently. This would never be my communication service of choice. But they communicate well. They want your money. Period.
Karma. It is already activated.

Thank you, Oprah
This blogger just couldn't say it any better.
"At the end of each school year in South Africa -- which is right now -- I teach a class to the 12th graders at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls. It's my last chance before they move out into the world of college and beyond to try and cram everything I wish someone had told me into a week's curriculum... aptly called Life 101. If I had more time, it could definitely be a yearlong course. But because my obligations are as extensive as yours, I make the most of the week, highlighting my top five favorite lessons and starting with the Invictus poem I learned to recite at age 8:
1. "You are the master of your fate and captain of your soul."
2. You become what you believe, not what you wish for, and every choice makes it so.
3. When people show you who they are, believe them the first time. Character or lack thereof always shows itself early.
4. My creed based on the third law of motion in physics: What you put out comes back always, in all ways.
5. Trust your gut. It's your spiritual GPS."

Comcast Does It Again
What ever happened to honesty? Don't they believe in karma?
Several folks at the Comcast Corporation told me there is no additional charge for changing out the antiquated tv to a flat screen. I called three different employees at Comcast who all confirmed that. Even the technical person said the same box would be used.
I trusted Comcast. I can't even get in touch with them. I am always put on hold. Half the time they disconnect me after waiting 4-5 minutes. It is more than annoying.
I want more competition for this brute. I want honesty in business. Now.

Coming Clean
Visiting a psychic/astrologer is a wonderful experience. It is by no way, a substitute for your own intuition. That must always come first. But a psychic/astrologer can clarify a few things for you. Mine sure did for me.
Not only did I learn that water can be very dangerous for me (I drowned in a past life), not honoring who I am can also. My past lives include living in England and living on a plantation in the south. I am told I was a southern belle by an astrologer who says she knew me then. We had an instant connection. I have never been able to watch ships sink. Clearly, I drowned on one. I closed my eyes during all the sinking scenes in the movie, The Titanic. Gasp.
I also had rough beginnings. We don't need to go into any of those but they all make sense. They always have. Often New Age folks believe they can skip their past but it doesn't work that way. You have to make peace with it and all the people in your life who just could not be there for you. It is hard for young children who didn't have a mother or father to go to. I know this well. Maybe that is why I am so sensitive to the emotions of others. It doesn't matter. I just am. I'm also a developing artist. Again.
As an intuitive, I learned young that I had this gift. I think I was about five years old when I had my first vision. I knew my father was having an affair, and that others in my life did, too. Over the years I would get a sense of marriages about to fold, including that of my parents. I knew when people would die and I could see their physical problems. It is especially hard when I know people are going to have a tragedy unless they get their act together. It does no good to tell them. They will do what they do until they want more. The same is true of me.
Sometimes I know when people are pregnant. I feel this energy. I feel earthquakes, too. And UFOs nearby. I feel fires and can see them. I know someone who was murdered but the FBI did nothing about it. I only do my part. The rest is up to others.
Tonight will change my life. Something will happen and it will set me on a new course. I am more than excited. I have no stake in which way this goes. None what-so-ever. Nor will I discuss it.
The purpose in writing this is to assist YOU, my faithful reader, in developing your own intuition. Being your own inner guidance system.
The days draw closer. It is time to come clean with what you want and who you are. Now.

Life
Mountain high. Cool, crisp, pristine. It always takes my breath away. I wonder if it misses me as I miss it. I love this little town.
A once beautiful preserve. Until the stupids destroyed it. It said a lot about those people and what they hold dear.
