Davis Goss’ Mind Boggling Blog

Have you noticed, as I have, the increasing number of documentaries on television that focus on the “end of the world” as offered by various ancient doomsday prophesies? Perhaps we can understand and forgive the scholars of those days because they were not privy to today’s advanced knowledge and technology. It was [...]

Here we go again. More disturbing economic times and predictions of more to come, mortgage foreclosures, unemployment at a critical stage and more talk about “bailouts”. All this is being supported by super big numbers like billions, hundreds or even a thousand billion; even a million million, which is a trillion. These numbers are mind-boggling and cannot be fully comprehended within our puny human minds. They are not “things”, they are CONCEPTS, which Webster defines as “mental images apart from an object (dollars)”.

How many times must we hear about the concern people feel relative to their financial security and survival in a world that is coming unglued with no sure end in sight? The news cites all sorts of problems but offer no viable solutions. Even the “experts” don’t agree with each other.

Every problem, every crisis, every conflict, whether personal, professional, corporate, national or international can only be resolved by this self-evident rule. However difficult it may seem, the law demands that we see the troubled world from a completely opposite point of view. The opposite of chaos, turmoil and discord is harmony, balance and perpetual well being.

They’re at it again! The news folks are telling us of an economic disaster and putting the country in a crisis mode again. If you are not a regular follower of this blog, this can be scary and you have great concern for your security. But if you have been following the message of this blog, you have learned to put first things first and adopt a healthy mindset in spite of the dire predictions of the “preacher of doom”.

The world view is focused on the economic downturn and potential collapse of national and world markets. This brings out all the self-appointed experts who analyze the situation and offer “solutions” that are subject to more scrutiny, analysis and debate.

Financial institutions and economists echo this crisis and further amplify the idea of threatening “depression” and/or “recession” depending on their particular point of view. This is THEIR view. I don’t agree with them because I choose not to live in their world of perpetual chaos, conflict and confusion. They belong to the “I.E.A.” club: “Isn’t Everything Awful”. I refuse to join!

Now we, individually and in the privacy of our own mind, must separate ourselves from all the rhetoric, empty promises, false claims, hoopla and the emotional impact of a well-planned show, and take time to think.

The only conclusion we can draw is that the entire universe is infinitely and singularly “real, not speculative and logically affirmative”; it is complete and totally devoid of any opposite.

Opposites cannot be commingled or be justified one to the other. Where one is real, its opposite is unreal. They are opposites. Opposites abound everywhere: black and white, assets and liabilities, profit and loss, short and tall, light and darkness, positive and negative and on and on and on. I doubt that you can think of anything that does not have an implied opposite.
