Wings of Thought

On Saturday, June 29, 2016, a Pride event was held in Helsinki and nearly 100,000 people marched in the spirit of love in rainbow colors. My friend sent me the song Toive kaikilla sama (All have the same desire) performed by Jorma Uotinen, which is about the desire of man to be loved by someone.

When I read the Bible in the early 1980s, a word that urged people to remember God whenever they see a rainbow in the sky stuck into my mind. When I see rainbow flags flutter I have an association with the rainbow. The rainbow reminds me of God’s love and my love for God. It is an uninterrupted connection to the consciousness of the universe. We do not have to “desire to be loved by someone” and look for approval from the world. When we have a connection with our inner being, our inner navigator, to our true self, it generates the feeling of basic trust that gives us courage we need to go forward. It is a huge competitive advantage everywhere we go. We are at home also on a foreign soil when we are out of our comfort zone.

Objective facts and rules of logic affect people’s lives less than good stories that define and guide our lives. However, people apply rules of logic in their personal lives. We become prisoners of our thoughts and habits. We consider our own predictability and good reputation as reliability. Everyone wants to be trustworthy or at least give a reliable picture of themselves. The most important thing in this respect is that we are able to show decades of consistency on our actions. We must stick to stories that we are conditioned to believe. So consistency from the point of view of official truth is important, no matter how false the official stories are.

When I was in my early teens, my oldest brother gave me at one Christmas a book entitled “Escape from Freedom” written by Erich Fromm (1900-1980, a German-American social psychologist, psychoanalyst, sociologist and humanistic philosopher). I was not mature enough to analyze deep-seated social psychological problems, but the title of the book itself spoke to me. I kept the book for decades, waiting for a moment that would inspire me to read the book. I gave it up in 2012 when I took my needless stuff to the recycling center and felt that I had in myself the information that Erich Fromm wrote about.

So I do not know the contents of the book “Escape from Freedom”, but I believe it is related to this: It is paradoxical that when we are loyal to the ego, to its thought patterns and habits, we move away from ourselves and each other. We start repeating the conceptions and beliefs that have passed from generation to generation over the centuries. We lull ourselves to sleep, which gives us a sense of security, but at the same time makes us prisoners of our thoughts and habits.

Yrjö Kallinen (1886-1976, Counsellor of Education in Finland, Advocate for Peace, Defense Minister) speaks about this in an interview “Are We Living In Asleep”, which he gave to the Secretary-General of the Finnish UN Association Hilkka Pietilä in 1971. Kallinen thinks that liberation from traditional thought patterns and beliefs that our society has conditioned us to believe, is the hardest effort of man. The prerequisite for liberation is the awareness of the situation that I am not awake. In other words: Waking up to the fact that I am a prisoner of my thoughts and habits. We need to recognize that we have fallen into wrong sense of security.

The Internet and the media are full of stories about the destructive influence and immorality of liberal-globalist capitalists and those seeking the world government. People complain that democracy does not work, money is created out of thin air and decision-making bodies are completely corrupt. Elections are a great theater that deceive citizens into thinking they may have some influence on things. In reality, everything has been decided in dubious practices much before the election. Of course, awareness of these things is important. However, revelations are often so frustrating that the feeling of powerlessness makes people get stuck in their perceptions and beliefs even more than before.  Many feel that a false sense of security is better than complete uncertainty about how to improve one’s own situation and that of others.

Truth in the Real World

The world is in a dead end today in many respects. However, people have through their thoughts and actions influenced themselves, how things have evolved. In other words: People have attracted everything. World War I and II were also the result of human ideals and actions. And not just in a negative sense. For some people, wars were a dream come true. Yrjö Kallinen speaks also about this in the video “Are We Living In Asleep”.

He says that at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the highest ideal of millions of young men was to die as a hero “in the field of honor” (warfield) with the motto: “It is beautiful when a brave man of the front ranks falls and dies…” Also in Finland little boys proudly sang this song in the 1960s with the feeling of self-importance.
Kallinen quotes a letter of a young man belonging to the French aristocrat, who lived in the 1880s to his mother: “If I venture to pray God for such a great grace to my own self that the Lord Almighty would allow actual war explode yet in my lifetime and I be involved in it.”

Defending your own community and your own values is, of course, very important, but there are usually quite other motives behind great wars than defending values. Some parties have for many centuries been instilling insane beliefs in people’s minds. For them, the death of young men in wars and thus prevention of reproduction of gentiles has been simply like thinning of cattle. However, no one can blame anyone for their situation. Not even Illuminati or people fabricating fictional stories with the aim to promote their own goals. How meaningful is it to blame predators for killing other animals to survive?

When we want change, all our attention is focused on the outside world and we try to change the prevailing circumstances. However, we can only change our own thinking and our own attitudes, perceptions and beliefs. The fact that it has been so easy to make people believe in insane stories that make them go like lemmings towards their own destruction, is due to their willingness to listen to their ego and their desire to please others. Few people dare to get a grip on oneself and force themselves to face the truth, no matter how unpleasant it feels. Falling in wrong sense of security is everybody’s own decision.

Truth in Our Hearts

Despite the fact that a large, if not the majority of the world’s population lives in complete deception, and some people do everything to prevent the spreading of truthful information, the truth is constantly present. When we talk about ‘post-truth era’ it can also be interpreted as being life after we have awakened to the truth. More and more people in the world are experiencing spiritual awakening and begin to lead their lives on purpose according to their inner guidance.

My actual awakening started after I watched the documents Zeitgeist and the Secret. The Secret movie tuned my antenna in every direction, but although I agreed 100% with everything the film was talking about, I thought that the message of the movie was completely wrong. I understood that the dissonance was caused by the emphasis of good emotions in the film. I’ve seen during my lifetime many times that emotions can give us completely false signals. We can not ignore the fact that we learn the most from negative feelings and experiences. Since I watched the Secret for the first time I have been pondering the dilemma the film left behind without getting into the core of the problem.

A couple of weeks ago, I saw a Youtube video where Mel Robbins, an American TV presenter, author and inspirational speaker says that “motivation is garbage” and tells why motivation does not work. In her opinion, the problem is that people are awaiting the awakening of the “right kind” of emotions in order to start to change their lives. However, it is pointless to wait for the awakening of emotions, because few have the ability to motivate themselves and others to do repulsive tasks, which are absolutely essential for their own success.

Mel Robbins says that most people know what their success requires: keeping yourself in tune, which means going early to sleep and getting up early in the morning, maintaining the body’s condition and health, maintaining friendly and appreciative relationships also with people you don’t like, taking care of your finances, daring to express your thoughts and to seize your opportunities, which means the ability to push yourself and to force yourself out of your comfort zone. In other words, forcing yourself to do things that you don’t like. Mel Robbins says that people should (at the latest) begin to parent themselves when they reach the legal age.

Although most people know what their success requires and there are countless blogs and self-help web sites and do-it-yourself websites that give detailed instructions on life management, people sabotage their own success by watering their own good thoughts and plans. We know intuitively what our success requires and our inner being, the voice of reason reminds us of our goals in special moments, but in addition to that we are constantly engaged in internal discussion with our ego. The ego does everything it can to prevent us from doing anything that could hurt ourselves and our pride. It works like an overprotective parent, who does not let children do anything in fear of injuries. How do we get out of our head, the guidance of our ego, so that we become persons, who are not just talking about their plans, but act to accomplish our goals in guidance of our inner being?

The 5 Second Rule

Exactly for this problem Mel Robbins came up with a solution when her own life was falling apart. When she was a little over 40, her husband went bankrupt and they lost all their savings. She was practically an unemployed mother of three children, on the brink of divorce, in overwhelming feeling of shame and despair. She benumbed herself with alcohol and didn’t even get inspired by her children. In the morning as the alarm clock rang, she pressed the snooze button time and again, for who would wake up to the nightmare she was driven to.

One night when everyone was already asleep and she was about to close the television, there was Nasa preparing for the launch of a spacecraft. Before the launch, she heard the familiar 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. In that moment Mel Robbins got a trillion-dollar idea: When the clock was ringing in the morning, she would launch herself out of bed like a rocket before she could think of anything! And so she did. In the first … the second … the third … the fourth etc. morning. The trick always worked.

When she started to investigate, why this simple trick works, she learned that millions of people around the world are using it to mobilize themselves. Mel Robbins is a lawyer by profession, and she immersed herself in her research as deep as when collecting evidence for judges in court. In addition to her personal contacts, she became familiar with brain research on the subject.
According to studies, we live within a five-second time window, which is why Mel Robbins gave her self-mobilization trick the name “The 5 Second Rule”. This means that, as we move daily from one situation to another and make decisions that seem small and insignificant, we operate under our intuition, our internal navigator, or listen to our ego, our overprotective superego, which does not allow us to do anything that could cause injuries and hurt our pride. If we begin to negotiate with our ego we are doomed to fail. Small, originally seemingly insignificant decisions are gradually beginning to determine our lives.

By mobilizing ourselves with the countdown 5-4-3-2-1, we not only suppress the voice of our ego. At the same time, our thoughts move from the area of old thought patterns and habit loops to the prefrontal cortex, which has executive power. It can analyze conflicting thoughts, differentiate between good and bad, better and best, same and different, the future consequences of activities etc. In other words, it focuses our thoughts and energies on action.

Reprogram Your Brain

With the 5-4-3-2-1 countdown, we can reprogram our brains five seconds at a time. When we begin to manifest our true self, we can also program our brains by visualization. Visualization is a very powerful way to assimilate new things, because our possibilities are limitless. Studies show that visualization is not just daydreaming in imaginary craziness. The brain is unable to distinguish what has really happened to us and what is imagination. That’s why visualization transforms our brain in the same way as our experience in the real world. Visualization IS a kind of experience in the real world.

When our actions and thoughts activate the Law of Attraction and we begin to attract things we want, we practically begin to see what is possible. We do not have to wait for politicians to arrange us the possibility to influence things in the spirit of direct democracy, but we can implement direct democracy in our own lives right now, five seconds at a time.

I hope that people understood the sarcasm of my previous writing, as I was venting my frustration about the election result. Even before the vote, I thought that manipulating the voting result would be as rude as the media play before the election. The end result would depend on what kind of voting result the manipulators would dare to present as a result of “democratic” elections. I would not have believed that all candidates, who clearly represent common sense were not elected. The basic Finns, who were previously pushed into offside position, succeeded in this election because of their NATO-friendly opinions and Russian opposition.

However, we must face the coming four years with this assembly and we must also admit that the election result was not only bad, even if the methods of creative accounting were used in the calculation.

The Truth Cast Adrift

When I have read advertisements of the country’s largest daily newspaper about “moving to a post-truth Era” I have been pondering what might this directly suggest. Generally speaking, the saying refers to circumstances, where objective facts affect public opinion less than relying on emotions and personal convictions. In practice, it has a confluence with the new guidelines for journalists that came into force in the beginning of 2005. The guidelines changed in a more tolerant direction, meaning that the instructions left more consideration to individual journalists on how to write.

According to the old guidelines, “the basis of a good journalistic practice is the right of the citizen to have access to true and generally important information that enables them to form a picture about their environment that is as truthful as possible”. In the new guidelines the requirement of correctness and relevance of information as well as truthfulness is omitted. Today ‘a good journalistic practice is based on everyone’s right to receive information and opinions’. It is mentioned that “the duty of a journalist is to seek truthful communication”. It remains to be guessed what it means for individual reporters, whose truth changes according to current trends.

***

On Friday, 3rd May 2019 was the International Day of Press Freedom, like every year. At the same time, it is also a day of freedom of speech. Erja Yläjärvi, editor-in-chief of Iltalehti-newspaper, published an editorial on the subject. She headed her article as follows: The Biggest Threat to Freedom of Speech in Finland Right Now: Other Finns

In her article, she expresses her concern about the amount of the filthy feedback that journalists have to receive every day. In her opinion, the danger of communication is that journalists do not want to expose themselves to that and start to look out for their words. Likewise, it can make it more difficult for journalists to find an interviewee on a controversial subject.

As I read the feedback for that article, a thought crosses my mind that the filthy feedback is targeted towards agenda-driven journalism, where journalists spread official truths and ignore everything that do not fit their agenda. Has it happened that, while the new guidelines for journalists say that “a good journalistic practice is based on everybody’s right to receive information and opinions”, media houses and journalists imagine that people have the right to hear journalists’ opinions? However, people expect journalists to spread pure knowledge like in earlier days so that they can form themselves as objective and truthful an opinion as possible. In the light of these thoughts, the message of Erja Yläjärvi’s article was simply that the greatest threat to freedom of expression is that journalists are not allowed to express their opinions freely.

***

So we are literally living post-truth times, when people do not even want to admit that there is any absolute truth. Except your own life and your own rights and interests, of course. People who have grown up in free democracies have become (speed) blind and live in an illusion that free democracy is a social order that stays upright without needing to be controlled. How many really realizes that the preservation of freedom requires us to acknowledge the absolute fact that everyone has been born into this world as a free individual, which requires taking care of the welfare and freedom of others?

All guidelines and rules of a free democracy can be derived from the freedoms of citizens and their respective responsibilities. In addition to freedom, they seek to ensure equal treatment of people, taking into account their starting points. Understanding the big picture of democracy and meaningful action requires common sense, which keeps the structures stick together. When the truth is kissed off and common sense disappears, there are very contradictory opinions and goals without justification as consequence:

There are no genders, and girls should not be called as girls and boys as boys, but the exchange of gender is a human right. Gender and citizen equality are the Alfa and Omega of everything, but equality does not matter when it comes to “positive discrimination”. In this election, the Green party brought 17 women and three men into the parliament. Women’s rights are promoted, as well as the emergence of female-hostile cultures, even by stigmatizing critics of female hostility as “hate speech”. All cultures are equal. It does not matter whether the cultures form organized societies or whether they are formed by tribes and clans fighting against each other, whether people live in peaceful coexistence or whether they chop off the heads of infidels.

There is a desire for democracy, tolerance, freedom of opinion and equality, but thoughtcriminals like people with false beliefs, are eliminated or sent to prison. Every “virtueradiant” emphasizes his/her tolerance, especially after rejecting people with false opinions without further parley. For the last ten years, the public debate has focused on, with whom it is not appropriate to cooperate. This exclusion of people with “false” opinions is “better” (mental) violence that is demonstrated by showing the middle finger on the image I attached to this article. Do my eyes see right that in the middle of the crowd is our former president Tarja Halonen?

Democratic Activity Astray

In the past, the contradictions were settled in a democratic process, as different world views were able to compete equally for support, that is, for usability. Things were driven by common sense, and people tried to find the most meaningful solutions to problems in regard of the functioning of society. Now everyone is trumpeting their opinions and subjective notions, because “I have the right”. In the name of tolerance, everyone should accept these concepts regardless how damaging they are to the functioning of society.

Before the election, a number of Green Leftist candidates held an open political event at Kaisa-house, which they called “Would you have a moment to discuss about hate speech”. They reported on Facebook about the event. Ilja Janitskin, who is known of his clear opinions and outspoken style, thanked the invitation and expressed his willingness to participate in the event. After a moment, he was notified by an organizer of the event that he was not invited.

Panu Huuhtanen, a candidate of the Reform Party took part in the event and filmed it without speaking out on the actual debate. The organizers of the event (MP candidates) were extremely disturbed by that. Using common sense one would have thought that the candidates would have been pleased of any kind of publicity that their event gets, and that they have the opportunity to express their views to larger public.

I watched the video from the beginning a small clip and I felt, as if the organizers were in mass psychosis. They blamed Panu Huuhtanen and other “hate speakers” (persons, who question their opinions) for bullying, who always come to film their events and even take close-ups of the activists. Eventually, Panu Huuhtanen was removed from the event by police officers.

I thought it would be better for the candidates, who organized the event to leave politics to people, who tolerate criticism and are able to justify their viewpoints. And, apparently, even though communications professionals have removed the requirement of truth from the journalists’ guidelines, or have given journalists the freedom to determine the truth according to prevailing trends, people who use common sense still rely on age-old truths that make up our moral backbone. None of the organizers of the event were elected.

***

It is incomprehensible that Finland, a country that emphasizes openness and democracy, has allowed to set up an institution such as the European Center of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats, which is completely beyond control of Finnish authorities. Followed by the establishment of the Hybrid Center, the Finnish Mediaunion (Mediapooli) was set up, which includes all mainstream media units, which are now committed to turn down all NATO and EU critical statements. Therefore, for example, Paavo Väyrynen, our most experienced politician and candidate and NATO and EU critic did not get any media coverage at all during the parliamentary elections. Immediately after the election, the Finnish MTV interviewed him.

Common Sense Gone Lost

Due to my inability to speak and my physical disability, I had difficulty getting into any kind of education in the early 1980s. However, I had a compelling need to learn new things. So I attended paid courses in summer university. The first course I attended was a course in philosophy of science. Many thought it was a joke, because the course was certainly not designed for an ignorant, uneducated and inexperienced person like me, who could not speak and had a severe physical disability.

Nevertheless, the course led me to the basic rules of logical thinking and conclusions. For example, if statements a and b are true, then the resulting conclusion c is also true. For example, it is known that humans and animals inhale oxygen and that it becomes carbon dioxide (CO2) in the body’s processes, which is then blown out when we exhale. This carbon dioxide produced by the body is a gas that plants bind to themselves in photosynthesis, producing sugars and oxygen. Animals and people live on the oxygen and food the plants produce. Conclusion: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a vital gas for life.

We also know that in the history of mankind, no dictator who has oppressed his/her people has been able to mobilize citizens in a way that they have created welfare. After the First World War, the National Socialist Germany became the world’s leading industrial country in a few years under the guidance of Adolf Hitler. Conclusion: Adolf Hitler was not a dictator, who subjugated his people.

***

In my articles I have laid stress on the importance of common sense in our lives. In my mind, common sense is besides intuitive knowing also logical thinking that takes into account the rules of logic. Each claim is either true or false. The conclusion is true when it corresponds to external reality. We should draw truthful conclusions. This is also related to the sense of justice.

I would like to see the actions of all, especially our decision makers, guided by common sense. Some people think that common sense is a myth. It is certainly a myth for those who have no experience about it. They think that common sense is general knowledge in a society, non-verbal agreements, and generally accepted practices that have become stabled over time through the influence of individual egos. And because new egos are constantly evolving, who want to influence things and change practices, old common sense practices are overridden.

I have thought that the greatest merit of academic education is that people, who go through university education have more likely than those with lower education the capacity to multifaceted analytical thinking. However, this is no longer the case when universities and their policies and research are led by various kind of stories, which are rather determined by the feelings and personal convictions of researchers than objective facts.

People, who do not understand the simplest rules of logic, that means, who are not capable of independent, rational thinking are graduated from universities. They have herd mentality and go like sheeple after good stories. This is just as bad as the fact that some schoolchildren are illiterate at the end of elementary school, in other words are not able to raise over time and space.

Post-Truth Era Is Deception

Yuval Noah Harari, an Israeli historian and professor of history at the University of Jerusalem, is pondering, what is the crucial difference between humans and animals. What has had the greatest effect on the fact that man has become the lord of creation? When I listen to Mr Harari’s TED talk, I cannot ignore his background and the fact that he is a product of his own society, like the rest of us.

The first thing that draws my attention is his purely materialistic approach to things. He says that human superiority to animals is the imagination of people. This corresponds more or less to what I have learned that the most significant quality of humans is his ability to abstract thinking.

However, I cannot digest Mr Harari’s idea that the basis for people’s success is their ability to invent fictional stories that other people will adopt, which allow people cooperate extensively. I myself think that people have succeeded despite the fact that some people have invented fictional stories. There have always been enough people, who have been able to distinguish fact from fiction and promote sustainable development of things.

This has certainly required self-control and also, to some extent, living according to fictional stories without really accepting them. Criminal investigators do not disclose their cards until they are sure that they have enough evidence to convict criminals.

Noah Harari says that people have always wanted to believe in good stories rather than purely truth. In order to stay in power, the power elite must sooner or later resort to modified truth. This was what happened in the early stages of Christianity, when, according to Harari, Christians “closed themselves to a mythological bubble where no one dared question the truthfulness of the Bible”.

The legacy of Jesus was revolutionary, because he taught that every human being has a direct connection with God when he or she obeys the Spirit of God in his heart and does the will of God. In order to preserve its power, the elite had to invent a different story that held the masses under their control.

According to that story, Jesus spoke about life after death and the reward of life-long righteousness comes only after death when people live according to the rules of clergymen in touch with the Church. Jesus’ simple teaching of the Kingdom of Heaven in the hearts of men was since then ruled by religion and church.

Despite the fact that people have been deceived for centuries, we can be confident, because the truth does not burn. Despite of massive deception attempts, structures based on modified truth will sooner or later fail.

Pari päivää sitten näin Youtube-videon, joka sai niskavillani nousemaan pystyyn. Nuori nainen Ylen viihdeohjelmassa viime syksynä haastatteli Paavo Väyrystä yhtä ylimieliseen sävyyn kuin valtamedia ylipäätään suhtautuu Paavoon. Mieleeni tuli Kiinan kulttuurivallankumous, jossa intellektuellit saivat tötterölakin päähänsä, jonka jälkeen he olivat avoimesti kansan pilkattavana. Paavo ei kuitenkaan tilanteessa provosoitunut, vaan esitteli asiallisesti omat motiivinsa ja tavoitteensa.

Jos eläisimme demokratiassa, jokaisen puolueen puheenjohtaja kilpailisi tilaisuudesta päästä keskustelemaan maan kokeneimman poliitikon (valtiomiehen) kanssa. Kuitenkin Paavo Väyrynen on suljettu pois yhtä poikkeusta lukuun ottamatta kaikista tärkeistä vaalikeskusteluista. Tämä kertoo omaa kieltään Suomen demokratian tilasta.

Viime vuosina keskustelupalstoilla on ollut katkeria vuodatuksia siitä, miten vanhemmat sukupolvet ovat pilanneet nuorten tulevaisuuden niin, ettei nykynuorille ole tulevaisuudessa varaa maksaa edes kunnon eläkkeitä. Jokainen luo oman todellisuutensa ja vetovoiman laki toimii tässäkin. Toisin kuin aikaisemmilla sukupolvilla, nykynuorilla on hyppysissään kaikki tieto, mikä auttaa heitä tekemään päätöksiä tosiasioihin pohjautuen.

Nykyisessä näennäisdemokratiassa epämääräisten agendojen edistäminen on tärkeämpää kuin kansan hyvinvointi ja sananvapaus. Koko valtiojohto puolustusvoimia myöten on saatu varjonyrkkeilemään kuvitteellisia Venäjän trolleja vastaan, vaikka valtamediassa on ilmiselvästi käynnissä läntisen propagandakoneiston hybridisota. On silkkaa tietämättömyyttä ja tyhmyyttä, jos nuoret jatkavat vanhempiensa tekemiä virheitä ja kiusaamisen kulttuuria ja valitsevat päättäviin asemiin samat tunarit, kuin tähänkin asti. Kuinka moni on ajatellut, että ehkä yhteiskuntamme tila on seurausta siitä, ettei Paavo Väyrysellä ole vuoden 1987 jälkeen, jolloin talousliberaalit pääsivät valtaan, ollut kykyjänsä vastaavaa asemaa hallituksessa.

Valta asettaa ihmiset alttiiksi turmelukselle.

Sanotaan, että valta turmelee ja ehdoton valta turmelee ehdottomasti. Valta itsessään ei turmele ketään. Siitä on osoituksena Paavo Väyrynen, joka on ollut erilaisissa luottamustehtävissä lähes 50 vuotta, mutta joka on yhtä uskollinen kansan palvelija kuin aloittaessaan poliitikkona 23-vuotiaana. Jos hän olisi korruptoitunut ja helposti manipuloitavissa hän olisi todennäköisesti paljon suositumpi poliittisissa piireissä.

Olin 1990-luvulla lyhyen aikaa töissä Sosiaali- ja terveysministeriön Valtakunnallisessa vammaisneuvostossa, samassa yksikössä kuin Kalle Könkkölä. Hän piti hyvänä sitä, että vammaisilla oli edustus valtion virkakoneistossa, mutta hänen mukaansa sillä oli myös huonot puolensa. En silloin osannut oikein kuvitella asian huonoja puolia, vaikka hän kantaansa vähän valaisikin. Vuosien saatossa olen ymmärtänyt, että asian varjopuoli on se, että virkamiehet ovat sidoksissa kulloiseenkin poliittiseen agendaan, vaikka henkilökohtaisesti olisivat asioista eri mieltä. Siten virkamiehet ja vallanpitäjät tavallaan myyvät sielunsa toisten tavoitteiden edistämiseen.

Oma valta

Viime viikolla näin mainoksen Armanin uudesta rahankäyttöä käsittelevästä televisiosarjasta. Mainoksessa nuori nainen sanoo, että valitettava tosiasia on, että raha pyörittää maailmaa. Tämä ei onneksi ole mikään tosiasia. Ihmiset, jotka näin ajattelevat antavat oman valtansa rahalle, mikä on materialismin selkein ilmentymä. Ihminen ei tarvitse latin latia sisäisen navigaattorinsa aktivoimiseen, jolloin hän pääsee kosketuksiin universumin luomisvoimien kanssa. Se vaatii vain vilpitöntä mieltä, rohkeutta ja ennen kaikkea luottamusta omaan arvostelukykyyn.
