. Closing The Gap between the Rich and the Poor |
|
. What Is: As you well know, the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and the middle class in America is intentionally being destroyed under the leadership of George Bush and and his multi-millionaire friends. Most people have resigned themselves to be on the financially destitute side of the owner / employee equation. To date, the money controllers have had all the power to themselves. Why? Because most people have no idea that it's even possible to own any of the worlds income producing assets. And those who know it's possible, don't know how to acquire their share of that financial power. Well, that's about to change -- BIG TIME ! But only if you choose to make it so What Can Be: What you may not know is that there are some simple and effective ways to reverse this destructive financial tend. Before we get into the details of how, let us show you the financial power that you and I can exert when we work as a team. Please read the section titled : What Social Security Was Supposed to Be. ' Welcome Back. If you didn't go to the above-referenced section, we encourage you to do so now. That section will show you just how powerful we are when we work together. The next section your are invited to read is titled: The Owner's Trust, ' This will explain how you can, by cooperating with others, begin to take back your rightful financial inheritance by being human of planet Earth. That inheritance is the power to own, control and receive the benefits of collective, asset ownership. Then please study the section introduced in the next section below: Retirement Investment Trusts ' Once you have done your homework, please see the page titled: It's Action Time' |

. In "The Reasonables" Retirement Trust Program, retirement assets are not held as promises from the company a person works for. Groups of people, such as a company's employees, each set up their own trust. By being the owners and beneficiaries of the trusts, the people, collectively, control their own retirement moneys. To keep the money out of the hands of corporate executives, retirement moneys are transferred to the employees own retirement trust with ever pay check. In each trust, the invested money is held in safe, tangible-asset, profit-making real estate, and in other income-producing investments. All assets are managed by highly skilled professionals who are employees of (or agents for) the trust. The intention is to take retirement money away from corporate executives whose first loyalty is to their employer and not to asset's owners. Remember, in any investment, asset protection is job one. As employees (or agents) of the people who own the trust, the trust managers will have no way to steal the assets or manipulate those assets for their own personal gain. The retirement trusts are based upon the financial structures used by the super wealthy to control their assets and pass them on (tax free) the the next generation. Most individuals cannot do this on their own, but collectively, it's a relatively easy task. The process is detailed on one of our websites under the heading: The Reasonables' Retirement-Investment Trust Program. ' The project contests are listed below. .

. Provisions will be in the bylaws protecting each employee rights to his/her portion of assets/benefits. For example, an employee my leave his assets/benefits in the trust as mini version of the foundations that the wealthy set up for their heirs. His/her heirs would receive the same share of the benefits that the original employee would have received were he still active in the company. Provisions to vest incoming employees will also be set up. Vesting will be based upon employees value to the company (measured by his/her paycheck) times the number of years employed by the company. Additional issue will be addressed in the bylaws, such as: "hiring an outside agent as opposed to hiring the same person to do the same job as an employee." The intention to create a fair and equitable distribution of the benefits. The intentions of each bylaw will be stated along with the bylaw, itself. In order to avoid legal-thievery, the intention or the bylaw will have equal value as the letter of the law. In order to keep control under the jurisdiction of the company employees, voting rights will be restricted to employees or to his/her biological or adopted children or grandchildren. The intention is that ownership can go anywhere, but control stays with the company employees. These are some on the initial thought that will be considered by the people who actually draft the bylaws. |

Bet to Pot Ratio ... |

. In every undertaking, there are risks, choices and at least two possible outcomes. One can achieve the objective (win) or not achieve the objective (lose). When all the factors are clear and when there is much to win and little to lose, the choice is easy. But what happens when your life, your children's lives, and your grand children's lives depended on a bet you have to wage (a decision you have to make) today based upon evidence that you have not personally examined? For example, most people are, right now, betting their lives and the lives of all humanity on the belief the Global Climate Change is not real. There are four possible outcomes to this bet: a)
Climate change is not real and we act vigorously as it were
real. b)
Climate change is real and we act vigorously as it were
real. c)
Climate change is not real and we ignore
it. d)
Climate change is real and we ignore
it. With human survival on the line, are you willing to blindly pooh-pooh Global Climate Change as if it were a hippie, tree-hugger's fantasy? Are you willing to bet your children's lives and grandchildren's lives on what you believe -- on what someone with a hidden agenda° has told you? If you have thoroughly examined the evidence and found your own answer, that's one thing. But to mindlessly turn control of your life over to your political and religious leaders and to simply believe their patsies, the so-called public media, is quite something else. As you must have noticed by now, those who control major concentrations of power cannot be trusted to keep their promises. (For example, in 1984, Ronald Regan campaigned for the presidency on the promise eliminating the country's 50 billion dollar debt. What he left office the debt was 200 billion. Under "Resident" Bush Jr., that debt has skyrocketed to about 9,000 billion) As a general class of people, those in positions of power are notorious for being liars, truth twisters, an mind-manipulators.' They will tell you what you want to hear to get your cooperation, and once their objective is obtained, they stab you in the back. Obviously not all powerful people are this way, but history is riddled with thousands of examples of this type of behavior. For example, how many of you held your retirement moneys in the form of corporate "Promises to Pay?" How many millions of people have stood by helplessly as those promises turned into government- sanctioned lies. Because life is not what you've been led to believe it is by those who claim to know, you, I, and everybody else have been (and still are) making critical, irreversible, life-altering decisions based upon false, incomplete, and/or intentionally-deceptive information! Each and every one of us is pushing human kind either closer to oblivion or closer to a successful transformation into an age of self-awareness. The direction in which you are presently pushing is determined by your beliefs. Where is a sane person going to place his/her bet on this issue? Where are you placing your bet on this issue? What if you bet with the Bush/Republican team and you later find out that they have been lying to you? But we both know that that's not possible. It's safe to bet your grandchildren's lives on these people because, as we all know, Bush and company have never lied to us, and never withheld vital information, never given us a spin on (distorted) the truth. (See the section titled: It's Wakeup Time° and the section titled: Lies of Omission.°) . |

. Gaia is a name given to Earth. It comes from the Greek Earth Goddess, Gaia. The Gaia Principle considers the Earth, itself, to be a complex life form. All living things on Earth are considered to be part of a single overall ecosystem.' Those familiar with the Hermetic principle, Correspondence -- As above so Below -- As within so without ' will see that we and all other life forms on the planet are cell in the body of a living organism, called Earth/Gaia. Some people will argue that rocks, soil and minerals are not living. There are two factors they are not taking into account. First, Science has unequivocally proven that everything that we think of as physical is not physical at all; that everything is made up of energy; and that energy is controlled by consciousness. Philosophers tell us that energy is function of consciousness and that both Creator/God and humans are consciousness. Is life consciousness? Consciousness is not physical, so what is it? And if you are not a physical body, what are you? If rocks and soil are not physical, what are they? What constitutes life? Do we know all the forms that consciousness takes? The second factor to consider, is that many parts of a life form are not in the traditions sense alive and capable of action. For example, in any tree, the only parts that are "alive," in the traditional sense, are the root hairs, (underground) the leaves and the cambium layer. The cambium layer is a very thin layer of living cells between the bark and the wood (both above and below ground). That layer is a very tiny portion of the overall tree. Like the rocks, soil and minerals of the Earth, the wood inside the tree has it's own nature. What is that nature? Is it not also a form of consciousness? What is consciousness? What are you? Are you really alive? Or are you just a consciousness that thinks it is alive? What's the difference? Are the cells in your body aware that they are part of a collective consciousness called ___(add your name here)___? Does Earth have a collective consciousness? Whatever your answer is, how do you know you are correct? ' . |

. . Futile gesturing is taking an action that one knows will not produce the desires result, but taking that action anyway. Although one knows that the action is a waste of time and energy, that knowing may be hidden in denial of what the evidence says about the topic. Futile gesturing is an act done in desperation, out of illusion, or it may be a deceptive way of accomplishing a hidden agenda. Futile gesturing is also used as a way of justifying failure. Treating symptoms and ignoring the problem is the most common form of futile gesturing. It's common for politicians to propose solutions that won't get society where they claim they want it to be. Insanity: The U.S. anti-drug war and the anti-terrorist war are both extremely costly and extremely ineffective activities, neither of which is going to solve the problem they claim to be addressing. Both are futile gesturing. Both are insane. Einstein gave us the classic definition of insanity, "Taking the same action over and over again [and] expecting a different result." Hidden Agenda: Another aspect to consider is that what appears to The Reasonables as a act of futile gesturing may be ( for the person or group taking that action or actions) an intention activity designed to fulfill a hidden agenda. The ultra-conservative Christian anti-abortion war is the perfect example of a hidden agenda. The anti-abortion war also fits the definitions of both insanity and futile gesturing. For a more detailed analysis of this example, see the page titled: Hidden Agenda.' . |

. When one understands his/her place in reality, one sees the world from a very different perspective. When you know in your heart that the following statement is true, you'll no longer need to feel threatened by anything outside of yourself. "Love
God, Love your neighbor, For
a clearer understanding of this concept, readers are
directed to two of TLC-Life-Center's other websites:
.76 In all of human history, there never has been and probably never will be another distinction as important as: "Are you inside or outside of God?" This belief, no matter which perspective one believes, is the underlying context which dominates and controls vast amounts of human behavior. http://www.Truth-Seeker-Truth.info '
.77 Is there a God? Before you can offer meaningful answers to any religious questions, or have a reasonably meaningful discussion about them, you need to define what you mean when you say, "God." http://www.Does-God-Exist.net ' . |

. This project and this website are both works in process. As the project's creator and director, I have been pleasantly surprised and very pleased by the overwhelmingly positive responses that the project is receiving. For example, the corporate financial renovation proposed by The Owner's Trust, ' although new and unusual, has been remarkably well received by all who have examined it. Responses such as. "Why didn't I think of that?" are common. You are invited to offer your opinion and add your participation. Your input will speed up the process, and as you know, the chain saws are still running, so "time is of the essence." Here's how you can be of service Thank you! . You're Also Invited to send a tax-deductible donation. . |
