William Samuel quote
Awareness is our identity and awareness functioning is ever effortless, ever going about its business of seeing, hearing, feeling and including thoughts all within itself just as it is about the business of seeing print on this page at the moment.
Much of the effort goes out of our daily affairs the instant we expand our sense of identity from the body-point from which "things" are observed, to awareness doing the observing. As this expanded identity the body-point is not excluded but seen as the central point within an infinite identification that includes all "body-points" within itself. This grander identity looks on human intellectuality and knows that it pertains only to the body-point and its relationships with all the images. It sees that the Intelligence beyond intellectuality is its own Self-knowledge of singleness, aloneness, wholeness, oneness. It sees that intellectuality can only know Isness indirectly, via qualities and attributes. But, identified as awareness, we know "God" directly as God's Self-awareness. As awareness, we know as God knows Himself to be. We see with the Eye by which we are seen. So, we live this "child of God" that we are already, and we live it without effort, without struggle, and most wonderfully, without inhibitions.

Major ONE up from $256 to $1,015 (actually 4 times the $255 low);
Major TWO down from $1015 to $699, say $700 (a decline of 31%);
Major THREE up from $700 to $3,500 (a Fibonacci 5 times the $500 low);
Major FOUR down from $3,500 to $2,500 (a 29% decline);
Major FIVE up from $2,500 to $10,000 (also a 4 fold increase, same as ONE)
I have noticed from the emails that I receive that many people are using these reports to guide their trading activities in gold. I have had no objection to this in the past, but feel that it would be foolish to trade gold in the circumstances of the Big Kahuna crisis that we are living though at the moment. It has become a question of individual financial survival in an environment where things are happening more rapidly and with increasing violence. I feel very strongly that it is time to quietly hold onto one's gold insurance and not attempt to trade it. I do not wish to provide interim levels that may cause people to be encouraged to trade their gold to skim a few extra fiat dollars or other currencies, but lose their gold as a result.

Superficial Investments
If I place value in my external appearances, it is a statement to the world that I am not confident and valuable in myself. It is a way of trying to impress others. If you try to impress others it is the most unimpressive thing you can do. You only try to impress others when you do not impress yourself.
Ask yourself this, who would you like to invite to your party? Someone who is fun, happy, confident and a joy to be around, or someone who is going around trying to impress others with their plastic surgery, status or possessions?

Backstory
A few days later at a dinner party he asks someone he is talking with to sit to his left as he cannot hear out of his right ear. How did you lose hearing in your right ear he is asked. "Oh, I was out hunting with my dad when I was five and his gun went off right next to my ear and I've been deaf in that ear since then."
His mind immediately created a backstory to justify what it believed.
Similarly smokers believe they need cigarettes and have no problem creating a backstory to explain it. It relieves stress, helps keep my weight down, relaxes me etc. None of that is true, it is just a backstory of a mind which believes it needs cigarettes.
