As I am not a man of wealth, I regret I could not identify your route to the enhancement of the quality of life, although I can feel & appreciate the excitement and gratefulness of the endeavour. I will read it again to understand it better.

However, your intriguing story made me think of the life of the wonderful Count de Saint-Germain, a man aquainted with the forming of gems and a regular visitor of all nobles of Europe of the time. This life was painted in the following way by a great writer/researcher:

“Referred to as an enigmatical personage by modern writers. Frederic II., King of Prussia, used to say of him that he was a man whom no one had ever been able to make out. Many are his ‘biographies,’ and each is wilder than the other. By some he was regarded as an incarnate god, by others as a clever Alsatian Jew. One thing is certain, Count de St. Germain — whatever his real patronymic may have been — had a right to his name and title, for he had bought a property called San Germano, in the Italian Tyrol, and paid the Pope for the title. He was uncommonly handsome, and his enormous erudition and linguistic capacities are undeniable, for he spoke English, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Russian, Swedish, Danish, and many Slavonian and Oriental languages, with equal facility with a native. He was extremely wealthy, never received a sou from anyone — in fact never accepted a glass of water or broke bread with anyone — but made most extravagant presents of superb jewellery to all his friends, even to the royal families of Europe. His proficiency in music was marvellous; he played on every instrument, the violin being his favourite. ‘St. Germain rivalled Paganinni himself,’ was said of him by an octogenarian Belgian in 1835, after hearing the ‘Genoese maestro.’ ‘It is St. Germain resurrected who plays the violin in the body of an Italian Skeleton,’ exclaimed a Lithuanian baron who had heard both.

“He never laid claim to spiritual powers, but proved to have a right to such claim. He used to pass into a dead trance from thirty-seven to forty-nine hours without awakening, and then knew all he had to know, and demonstrated the fact by prophesying futurity and never making a mistake. It is he who prophesied before the Kings Louis XV. and XVI., and the unfortunate Marie Antoinette. Many were the still-living witnesses in the first quarter of this century who testified to his marvellous memory; he could read a paper in the morning and, though hardly glancing at it, could repeat its contents without missing one word days afterwards; he could write with two hands at once, the right hand writing a piece of poetry, the left a diplomatic paper of the greatest importance. He read sealed letters without touching them, while still in the hand of those who brought them to him. He was the greatest adept in transmuting metals, making gold and the most marvellous diamonds, an art, he said, he had learned from certain Brahmans in India, who taught him the artificial crystallisation (‘quickening’) of pure carbon. As our Brother Kenneth Mackenzie has it: — ‘In 1780, when on a visit to the French Ambassador to the Hague, he broke to pieces with a hammer a superb diamond of his own manufacture, the counterpart of which, also manufactured by himself, he had just before sold to a jeweller for 5500 louis d’or.’ He was the friend and confidant of Count Orloff in 1772 at Vienna, whom he had helped and saved in St. Petersburg in 1762, when concerned in the famous political conspiracies of that time; he also became intimate with Frederick the Great of Prussia. As a matter of course, he had numerous enemies, and therefore it is not to be wondered at if all the gossip invented about him is now attributed to his own confessions: e.g., that he was over five hundred years old; also, that he claimed personal intimacy ‘with the Saviour and his twelve Apostles, and that he had reproved Peter for his bad temper’ — the latter clashing somewhat in point of time with the former, if he had really claimed to be only five hundred years old. If he said that ‘he had been born in Chaldea and professed to possess the secrets of the Egyptian magicians and sage,’ he may have spoken truth without making any miraculous claim. There are Initiates, and not the highest either, who are placed in a condition to remember more than one of their past lives. But we have good reason to know that St. Germain could never have claimed ‘personal intimacy’ with the Saviour. However that may be, Count St. Germain was certainly the greatest Oriental Adept Europe has seen during the last centuries. But Europe knew him not. Perchance some may recognise him at the next Terreur, which will affect all Europe when it comes, and not one country alone”

Mahasamahdi...I know such a saint...when I began to distrust/doubts his words during our first meeting...I thought maybe I am being hypnotized by his pronouncements...his darshan...that he was sharing about my life...in the privacy of my thoughts...he began to chant a private/personal mantra I had received 22 years earlier...never spoken outloud...and unknown to him...then he leaned forward towards me and said..."You see... I am all knowing"

to further explain...it was "in the privacy of my thoughts"...that my doubt occurred...his chanting was outloud...broadcast to others in the room...as was his pronouncement of "You see... I am all knowing"...he had achieved Nirvikalpa Samadhi...53 years before

In a few short hours since i posted below a reply suggesting my concerns about financial criminals undertaking the "great collapse"...there is breaking news alleging that the FTX collapse last weekend...simply the a Bahama based crypto coin FTT...produced completely out of thin air...via keystrokes..."virtual currency"... unaudited...crashed looting between $16b and $30b overnight. Now it is apparently the currency that underpins Tether...a stable coin...represented to be backed by US dollar reserves...unaudited....FTX was the second biggest funder to one of the US political parties...turns out that not unlike BCCI...the spook and crook bank that collapsed after funding regime changes up until the 80's...Tether is the funding choice of the Rohingya Rebels in Myanmar and the Sunni Rebels in Syria...again by US spook supported regime changes...I leave you to draw your own conclusions....money laundering in a "virtual" world

Great post Alex...I spent a cold Christmas alone some years ago walking through Toledo, ES...it was none-the-less a special day. I visited the duomo...the main cathedral...and marveled at the first sight of the enormous usage of gold at the alter...then I realized it's origin story. Later and on my way to the train to take me back to my home at the time...a hotel in Alcala de Henares...also the home to Cervantes....I passed another cathedral with the exterior walls festooned with manacles from the inquisition. This was a knowledge infused Christmas...alone no...shared with many ghosts. My experiences learning to retail trade echo your dip into losing more than gaining profits. I first lost a ton...and a ton to commissions. Undeterred...I changed strategy and brokers...went for commission free trades 2 years ago...lost another ton of money...when I began to recognize the many "failures to deliver"...or to close/exit my trades...slippage...I remembered reading "Flashboys" and saw that I was trading against machines. It was like witnessing a fishing bobber...or float...on a turbulent pond...AI psyops meant to tease judgements and decision making....negative executions. I had a particularly bad loss this past August the 3rd....August the 4th...changed back to commissions...abandoning free...costly...payment for order flow...and placed my trades directly with my preferred exchange...via instantaneous order entry and exits provided by a hot key macro keyboard...and the exits, failure to closes...are gone. Profits abide...my risk tolerance does not permit me to stay in trades beyond scalps. My trading partnership is called WDK...We Don't Know. Recognition that chaos is real...we filter this out of our mechanistic beliefs....coupled with the financial criminals in markets...like the descendants of De Sotos...is a game changer. I am now concerned that the financialization of "advanced economies" has not only created unsustainable debt with unrepairable prospects for repayment resulting in perpetual "debt slavery"...but that this is all "virtual" debt and a "virtual financial system"...simply keyboard generated strokes...or AI generated. Where are the "receipts"? Do certificates of share ownership actually exist? Have the disclosures of the GFC in 2008 been addressed? Debt amplification through fractional reserve banking is beyond the money supply...exceeds the global GDP/GWP for many decades into the future. Are we in a controlled demolition of debt and confiscation of assets? I live in Napoli...this year I will be walking arounds the city...Merry Christmas...NAC..."Not A Grinch"

Hi Bill, thank you for that interesting comment. I think it is pretty clear that the certificates of share ownership don't exist - the Overstock naked shorting case made that hard to deny. Unfortunately, while we're locked into this system we've no choice but to cope with it. But the whole system must go to the history's waste bin.
