   My advice:
   Buy a ‘droom­dome’ ( ) and sell it next year.

   Good luck,

   I ordered the remote view­ing and influ­en­ce­ing CDs and lis­tened to them over and over again but still can’t seem to see the future. It does relax me and at times when I am tired it puts me to sleep.….…. but no future or dis­tant vis­its. How long does it take to get to the future.….. just each day as I live them?

   I know exactly what is going to hap­pen in the future, and i do not need to buy any remote view­ing course to fig­ure it out. The finan­cial future looks like this…

   First of all, before too long, there will be no more cash. Cash will become obse­lete. In case you were unaware, even wel­fare recip­i­ents and peo­ple on any sort of gov­ern­ment “aid” pro­gram such as SSI are no longer sent checks in the mail each month, but rather their funds are deposited into a bank acct, even if these peo­ple can­not get a “nor­mal” bank acct, they can get this “spe­cial” type. They are all now given debit cards so as be to able to with­draw funds from the money that is wired into these “spe­cial” bank accts, and they can go to vir­tu­ally any ATM machine and get money. So, the bot­tom line is that even the home­less and near des­ti­tute are becom­ing used to using plastic.

   It wont be long before every­one will be only using plas­tic. It all started when they came out with debit cards for those with ter­ri­ble credit, and now, vir­tu­ally every­one has at least a debit card.

   It is becom­ing more and more rare to see any­one using cash. Just take a look around; notice how peo­ple are pay­ing for their gro­ceries in the check out line, almost with­out excep­tion it is with some type of plastic.

   Mer­chant ser­vice firms are every­where now. About the only thing you can­not buy with­out plas­tic is dope (not speak­ing from per­sonal expe­ri­ence, just seems dope deal­ers would not take credit or debit cards as they would not want any paper chase, lol).

   This is just one of the pri­mary ways this coun­try and then the entire world will become one big police state, with “Big Brother” look­ing over you shoul­der no mat­ter where you are.

   When “cash is [no longer] king” it will mean the end of any pri­vacy what­so­ever. Super­mar­kets already know exactly what each of its cus­tomers buy. I bet they know how long a roll of toi­let tis­sue lasts each per­son!!! Of course they do, they got the records when you join their lit­tle “dis­count clubs,” which are not not dis­count any­thing as all the prices are just hiked up and i know, from per­sonal expe­ri­ence, when i go to my local super­mar­ket if i for­get my “club card,” i will sim­ply have the store use its own, and if they refuse, i will just have to fill out another form, and get another one of their club cards, and always, i use a fake name and fake everything.

   You must have plas­tic to buy off the inter­net, and every­body is doing that now, so that is another rea­son plas­tic soon will be the only thing one can use.

   What am i going to do about this inva­sion of my pri­vacy? Prob­a­bly get a job with Mind Val­ley and move to the Far East, and enjoy going to work every­day, if they will even con­tem­plate hir­ing any­one over the age of 25!!! LOL

   Hey Vishen, ya hear me!!!

   Ciao bello,

   I also do not need a CD course to pre­dict the future of our econ­omy. All I need to do is look at the past. In the 1930s we expe­ri­enced a global depres­sion, which fol­lowed a period of eco­nomic expan­sion the likes of which had never before been seen in recorded his­tory. Sound famil­iar so far? Unfor­tu­nately, the expan­sion was based on fal­si­fied val­ues which com­pa­nies placed on their stock.

   Fol­low­ing that world­wide crash, government–again world­wide, but we will now con­fine our dis­cus­sion to the U.S. because that’s what I know more about–regulation fol­lowed, to avoid such an occur­rence in the future. The reg­u­la­tion involved both the stock market–think SEC and the report­ing it requires, and the lim­its on when peo­ple who have insider infor­ma­tion can trade their stock–and also the bank­ing system–think var­i­ous fed­eral agen­cies, includ­ing the Fed­eral Trade Com­mis­sion, the Trea­sury, and sev­eral oth­ers. Plus, the sys­tem of insur­ance for bank deposits, sav­ings and loans deposits, and credit union deposits was devised. You might be more famil­iar with the acronyms: FDIC insured, FSLIC insured, and FCUIC insured.

   I remem­ber study­ing the gread depres­sion in high school, and we were told it could never hap­pen again, because reg­u­la­tions were in place to pro­tect against it.

   Then came Reaganomics and dereg­u­la­tion, with a pro­longed Repub­li­can pol­icy empha­sis on let­ting the mar­ket adjust itself. Many of the reg­u­la­tions that were intended to pro­tect the coun­try from expe­ri­enc­ing another depres­sion were relaxed. We did have indi­ca­tions that the new pol­icy was not work­ing. The S&L bailout in the early 80s was one such, and the burst­ing of the dot.com bub­ble in early 2000, as well as a reces­sion in the 90s could all be viewed as indi­ca­tions that some­thing was fun­da­men­tally wrong with our econ­omy. Of course, they were touted as “mar­ket cor­rec­tions,” and viewed as normal.

   But lais­sez faire did not work in the past, and it is not work­ing now. And the rea­son it has not worked and will not work is that our busi­ness schools are train­ing the peo­ple who attend them to look at the short-term bot­tom line finan­cially, with­out tak­ing into con­sid­er­a­tion the need for a long-term vision for the com­pa­nies they sub­se­quently head, or for long-term eco­log­i­cal con­se­quences of their actions.

   The crash of ’29 occurred because peo­ple got greedy, and fal­si­fied the val­ues of the stock they were sell­ing. The crash of 2008 occurred because some other peo­ple got greedy, and fal­si­fied the incomes of peo­ple who wanted to buy houses that were beyond their means. The dereg­u­la­tion that allowed these loans to take place with­out thor­ough doc­u­men­ta­tion of an individual’s cred­it­wor­thi­ness was a major cause of this crash.

   If peo­ple were sen­si­ble, and con­sis­tently dis­ci­plined about how they man­aged their busi­ness, to pro­vide for long-term sta­bil­ity and growth, such crashes would not hap­pen. But peo­ple are not always sen­si­ble, and are cer­tainly not con­sis­tently dis­ci­plined. Nor, for the most part, do they take the longer view, and think in terms of how a pol­icy will affect their chil­dren and grandchildren.

   The only way we got out of the depres­sion last time was by enter­ing a global war. But, we are already in a war this time, and it does not seem to be help­ing. I believe the rea­son for that is that last time, the war pro­vided a rea­son to put all of our man­u­fac­tur­ing capa­bil­ity to work pro­duc­ing war materiel. How­ever, in today’s econ­omy, most of our man­u­fac­tur­ing has been sent abroad, because of cheaper labor costs in devel­op­ing coun­tries. So rely­ing on war to get us out of the depres­sion is unlikely to work a sec­ond time.

   I believe what will work–albeit slowly–is a fun­da­men­tal restruc­tur­ing of our econ­omy. I’m think­ing here that we need to pull together as a national com­mu­nity if you will, and put money into rebuild­ing our infra­struc­ture. By infra­struc­ture, I’m not just talk­ing about our trans­porta­tion sys­tem, although that cer­tainly needs to be updated to use more high-speed trains across coun­try, and reserve the truck­ing for local/regional car­ri­ers. I’m also talk­ing about our energy grid and com­mu­ni­ca­tion grid.

   Plus, our edu­ca­tional sys­tem needs to be updated to reflect the techno advances we have made. In most cases, a high school edu­ca­tion is no longer ade­quate to pre­pare an indi­vid­ual for a place in the workforce.

   I esti­mate that mak­ing this change will take a decade or more, just as it did in the 1930s. In the mean­time, I advise peo­ple who want to sur­vive to work on their hunt­ing, gath­er­ing, and farm­ing skills. Learn to rec­og­nize what is edi­ble when you go to your local park. Grow food in con­tain­ers in your house or apart­ment, and if you have a yard, use it to grow edi­ble food, rather than grass. Encour­age your neigh­bors to do the same, and plant dif­fer­ent crops, so you can share with each other. Also, try plant­ing dif­fer­ent vari­eties of a crop, that mature at dif­fer­ent times, so you can enlarge your grow­ing season.

   Or,if your zon­ing laws per­mit, and you have enough acreage, get a few chick­ens for eggs and meat, and a cou­ple of dairy goats, for milk. (Use an arti­fi­cial insem­i­na­tion ser­vice, so you don’t have to keep a billy goat around, as they can get quite aggres­sive.) You can also butcher out any male kids, and keep or sell the female kids so some­one else can have access to milk. I have never been so glad in my life that I was raised on a to fall back on.

   If you have any sav­ings, and have been think­ing about start­ing your own busi­ness, now would be a great time to do so–as long as your busi­ness does not rely on old, out­moded con­cepts. But any­thing that lends itself to an eco­log­i­cally as well as eco­nom­i­cally sound model should do well, par­tic­u­larly if you do not need credit to get it started. If you do, think of com­bin­ing with one or more indi­vid­u­als who have sim­i­lar inter­ests in your area, and per­haps cre­at­ing your very own “busi­ness incu­ba­tor,” by obtain­ing larger premises than any one of you needs, and shar­ing your admin­is­tra­tive ser­vices, such as phone ser­vice, fil­ing, and payroll.

   Even though credit is tight, this is really a great time for inno­v­a­tive thinkers to start up their own businesses!

   hey there, thanks for shar­ing such in-depth views. Its great to see dif­fer­ent opin­ions and I just love to see such a diverse group of followers.

   Hi Emily! — you sound like my wife! I love how expres­sive you are and you remind me of when my wife (con­cerned as she was) went on and on when i first started remote view­ing (she was a skep­tic at first) but hey, I wouldn’t have her sup­port today if remote view­ing didn’t work!

   I guess what I’m try­ing to say is remote view­ing your finan­cial future is not just about see­ing the global pre­dic­tions (which, true, any good econ­o­mist or ana­lyst can tell you the GENERAL trends). I apol­o­gize that I wasn’t clearer in my post.… I should’ve stated that what Major Ed teaches is how to remote view YOUR PERSONAL finan­cial future.

   I’m talk­ing about SPECIFIC stocks that you should invest in based on your per­sonal cur­rent sit­u­a­tion. now, I don’t want to write too much here. but look out for my next post, I will be more clearer (promise!). thanks again for voic­ing your thoughts!

   hi Michael and all,
   When I see only pumped up tes­ti­mo­ni­als I’m suspiciouse.When I see some negs thats bet­ter, but not OK. The hype at times can make it all, seem easy to mas­ter, for some like me, its a firm desire to mas­ter the process, and has taken many quirky turns.
   Will be giv­ing this course a ‘buy’ in the near future, as I have the books of the major writ­ers listed. My blog details some of the ups and downs of learn­ing mate­r­ial of this nature. I doubt that peo­ple like Dames, would put their rep on the line care­lessly. It does take seri­ous effort on ones part to mas­ter this kind of mate­r­ial. While I’ve not been 100% at remote view­ing yet, have expe­ri­enced it. So will be back to those lessons that I do have to see ‘what I may have missed. So don’t give up and stop the lessons, go back to the lessons with an open mind. When I finally get this course, will be post­ing my expe­ri­ences with it.
   Be Well

   I wish to offer here some other pos­si­bil­i­ties that I have not heard talked about on the TV news. First the amer­i­can pub­lic is rich com­pared to most of this planet. Sec­ond china and many of the asian coun­tries are now into man­u­fac­tur­ing and thier own indus­trial boom in thier econ­omy. The rest of the world is watch­ing china build a mighty mil­i­tary force and they are build­ing a space pro­gram, and in many ways they are enter­ing into the indus­trial age. It is all inter­locked. Our econ­omy is dri­ving thier econ­omy. If we can­not buy thier goods then they can­not sell them to any one cause no one else has enough money to buy them. Now for a sec­ond lets day dream a little.……What if china became agres­sive to other nations? (not to sug­gest any­thing) If this did hap­pen we (mean­ing the rest of the indus­trial world) might have to meet them toe to toe on a bat­tle field. well.….. What if instead the rest of the indus­trial world and the pow­er­full play­ers of the world chess game decided to use pub­lic opin­ion of the econ­omy and other means to stop china from grow­ing to be a pos­si­ble world threat? Again this is still just a day dream with no facts only a dream In this dream we have many dammag­ing things hap­pen­ing to the world econ­omy but for those of us in this dream who are not liv­ing in china it will be more of a short term bump in the road for our econ­im­ics.
   Many things have been out of bal­ance in this coun­try like the for­mer dot­com bub­ble that burst. Peo­ple were buy­ing and sel­l­ign things at a vary inflated price and it was not actu­ally there.….they were buy­ing and sell­ing enpty air that had no value accept on paper. have you looked at stock prices in this coun­try over the last few years and noticed that most stocks have more than dou­bled in value in the last few years? Is it because they have more equip­ment or more man­u­fac­tur­ing plants and more employ­ees and all of the things that make up the value of solid assets or are they just sell­ing for more money??? I for one do not feel that we are enter­ing another dark age. I believe (right or wrong) that tomor­row is a day of great promise and I believe that within a short time of read­just­ment things will be boom­ing in this coun­try again. One of the main influ­anc­ing fac­tors of a strong econ­omy rest in the hands and minds of all of us in our per­ceprion of wheather or not tomor­row will be a good day. I look to this reshuf­fling of the haves and have nots as the golden opor­tu­nity of my life­time. my wish is that I have enough for­sight to take advan­tage of this mat­ter is it unfolds.
   Some peo­ple seem to be wor­ried about Obama as pres­i­dent. I do not think that any one man can have a vary great influ­ance on this coun­try. I recomend that spend­ing less thought on what is on the tele­vi­sion and more thought on what will hap­pen in a few years when we are taxed for global warm­ing car­bon emmi­sions dur­ring a time of global cool­ing might be time bet­ter spent. In some coun­tries of the world polit­i­cal changes like we have just expe­ri­enced are brought about by spilling much blood. I still think our sys­tem is a beter one and we are still all alive to deal with the next change if this one is inef­fec­tive to what we wish to accom­plish. Have a nice day and thanks for read­ing my comments

    As Emily said, you dont have to have a CD, even though I do remote view­ing. The world are in a global crises we have to start doing our own farm­ing, because look at the job mar­ket today there are 250,ooo peo­ple los­ing their jobs each month, and this is a global sit­u­a­tion all around.We have to raise our own cat­tles, food, clothes, so we have to find our­self in places that we can do these things.

    Hi Michael:
    I have a big­gie ques­tion for you. Ed Dames states emphat­i­cally, and not only once (!) that Remote View­ing doesn’t seem to rec­og­nize lin­ear time that we func­tion in. In fact, when dis­cussing the ter­ror­ist attacks in Madrid, when he remote viewed, he asked what there the next ter­ror­ist strikes would take place — and through the dia­grams etc. they were able to dis­cover the where of it — so how about the when of it — do you ask for a head­line in the papers show­ing the date. This relates to my query about the finan­cial aspect of remote view­ing, so here it is — If remote view­ing is not lin­ear time in nature, how can I find out about a stock going up in time to make a telling (pay­ing) invest­ment for myself — I could remote view IBM roar­ing up 300% but it doesn’t mean its gonna hap­pen in my life­time, so how is that hur­dle over­come? Thanks Michael.
    PS I have ordered not only the basic, but two other of Ed’s courses — and I was famil­iar with who he was long before this, I’ve done my own research on RV and love it, can’t wait to get started and already had some suc­cess on 1st try with a dif­fer­ent site –they gave you a few free lessons and then you could move on to test tar­gets — con­vinced me, I sketched and color/smell described the pic which was Mt.St. Helen’s blow­ing up.
    Oh, another com­ment. Ed makes the remark that RV’ers are in Theta state — intense focus and con­cen­tra­tion when work­ing RV. So if that is the case, how help­ful would CD’s be that help the brain achieve Theta state for help­ing when one is RVing?
    Thanks again, and you’ll be hear­ing from me as I go through my course mate­r­ial — can’t wait to get it.
    Best regards Jessica

    Sorry, I just re-read my post and might not have been clear enough. First off, Ed Dames asked Where is the next major ter­ror­ist attack going to occur. Where is oper­a­tive word here.
    Stocks — If remote view­ing isn’t based in lin­ear time frames how does one dis­cover rel­e­vant dates — i.e. when to buy and when to sell the rock­et­ing stock.
    Hope this clar­i­fies my bab­ble above. : ) Thanks J

    Wich is bet­ter? You seem to have indi­cated that O’Donell’s course is easyest and most acu­rate, yet you tend to push Dammes more. I have Dammes course and find it to be both frus­trat­ing and exu­ast­ing! I have not yet per­chaced the O’Donnell course due to a lack of funds but from it’s descrip­tion it would seem to be the bet­ter choice. I have researched O’Donnel and have found lit­tle against him whereas Dammes track record seems to be full of holes, I’m not try­ing to bad mouth any­one ‚I would just like some clarity.

    Dear All,

    Remote View­ing is very easy and every­body can do it. It has been taught since the times of ancient Greeks at Del­phi. The real secret or the true value of the RV is to be able to use your men­tal abil­ity not only for detect­ing infor­ma­tion, but to change the event, for exam­ple, pre­vent the event from hap­pen­ing or change the way the event is unfold­ing. This is the real key. Oth­er­wise, it is sim­ply another men­tal game. From all those pro­grams that are here, only the orig­i­nal Silva Method Basic Lec­ture Series that has four units edu­cates every per­son to do this suc­cess­fully. The evi­dence since 1966 that the method is being taught is over­whelm­ing and does not even need to be advertised.

    Detect­ing infor­ma­tion is easy. How you use this infor­ma­tion is the key. Have you gained the spir­i­tual growth to use this infor­ma­tion to make this a bet­ter place to live? To empower oth­ers to be authen­tic rather than use them for your ben­e­fit? To teach them how to dis­cover the genius in them and live a whole and pros­per­ous life with dignity?
