I think god knows the value of a stock pretty well. Stocks are the
symptom of the currently collapsing narrative of fear, ego, competition,
infinite growth despite oversaturated markets, separation, control and
an incentive system based solely on short time, personal, proprietary
monetary profit ... basically the narrative which is killing 50,000 to
100,000 people every day, the narrative which is dismantling Greece in
the name of capital, the narrative which forces 85% of the working
population into pointless, system #bullshitjobs which do not contribute
anything to society, the narrative which is slowly leading to world war
3, the narrative which wastes 85% of our resources via systemic
transportation, redundancy, planned obsolescence, the externalization of
costs, etc., ...
So what's the value of a stock and what it stands for? In monetary terms
probably a very large negative integer (the monetary cost of repairing
all the damage that has been dealt divided through the market-cap of the
company in relation to the entire damage) and a large non quantifiable
amount in the psychological and spiritual context.
It's our contemporary state of absolute dysfunctionality which makes us
believe that stocks feature any positive value ... and yes I've made a
lot of money trading futures and stocks and I am not proud of it.
"A child plays and develops his or her gifts but doesn't apply them to
their true purpose yet. And that's what humanity's been doing - we've
been messing around, playing with our gifts of technology and culture
and developing these gifts. Now we're coming into adulthood and it's
time to apply them to our true purpose. At the beginning this will be to
heal the damage that's been done and there's a lot of healing that needs
to be done. It's almost impossible actually. You could could say that
really we're in the business of creating a miracle here on earth.
It's impossible from an old understanding of reality but possible from a
new one. In fact it's necessary and anything less than that isn't even
worth trying." -- http://sacred-economics.com

Recently I read the well-known book, A Random Walk Down Wall Street.
I highly recommend it. One of my favorite lines from the book is
basically (paraphrased)
GOD HIMSELF DOES NOT KNOW THE CORRECT VALUE FOR A STOCK.

This should work ... if I find a version that supports copy&paste I will
let you know (my environmentally unconscious ego still prefers "real"
books). The book is far from perfect ... I would have omitted the
biographical chapters and the humor is kind of weird but it gets more
scientific in the later chapters where he explains how primordial
consciousness evolved and came up with this virtual reality and how and
why consciousness is able to alter reality. But I guess you need some
introduction if you want to reach people who are not yet assuming the
axioms of contemporary science to still be incomplete.

the campbell book looks interesting -- do you have a link to an easily

Wow, I am speechless. That's just most amazing. You are one of the very,
very few highly intellectual people who have overcome this very, very
deep
cultural belief system.

obviously
nothing more than wishful thinking."
Same here. I spent half my life doing software engineering and digital
electronics. I never even considered that "soul", "life after death",
etc.
were valid concepts.
Give Campbell's book a shot. His humor doesn't really resonate with me
but
who cares ... he explains PSI in a simple, logical and elegant way. PSI
is
just a core aspect of this virtual
consciousness-evolution-training-environment and given your experience
in
designing and implementing virtual learning environments and your
amazing
intellect you will love the beauty behind the implementation of this
virtual
reality.
Thank you for everything you are doing Ben!
Back to topic ... ;-)
