January 13, 2008 COMING SOON London, Ontario, January 18, 2009. Toronto, Ontario, January 26, 2009. Maryland, January 29, 2009. ASK DOUGLAS Q. Is it wrong to be a spiritual person and still want to make a lot of money? A. The answer is no, it's not. In order to survive in the physical, material world, one has to have assets, have an income, a place to live, and be able to support themselves financially, so they are not a burden, but rather a contributor to the world. If one wishes to do any good in the world or contribute to it, one must have resources. A poor person can't give what they don't have. A giver can only give from excess. Let me ask: how much money do you give away on any given day? If your answer is, "If I had a lot of money, I'd give more away, but I have to watch the bills right now," then let me suggest that you are failing. If you believe you aren't going to have enough money for yourself, then you are showing your spiritual poverty. For God is like the ocean: a huge resource of everything you need, including money. The secret is that you must go to the ocean to get what you need, or you must do something, not just simply sitting on your duff, crying "poor me." Think of it like this: if the ocean is everything, and you may take freely from this sea of abundance, then understand God Almighty has no restriction, whether you go to the ocean with a tea cup, or a tanker truck. It's up to you. The distinction is the effort you make, since anyone can go to the ocean with a tea cup in hand, but it takes a great deal more effort to acquire a truck and drive there. But there is still no restriction in how much you take. Abundance is abundance. It is foolish to give away your assets and to impoverish yourself when God Almighty has provided everything you need to live a comfortable life in the world. Rich people can be spiritual and poor people can be spiritual. Money, resources, or assets cannot make a person more spiritual, and their spirituality should not be based upon their physical wealth. If you are poor, you are doing something incorrect, and are not in harmony - and this may be one of your spiritual or karmic lessons to learn. Not everyone can be a financial wizard, but everyone can live comfortably. If you are in harmony with God, you should be blessed with health, wealth, and peace of mind. There is no conflict to be a spiritual person and a wealthy person. The conflict is between being greedy and selfish and believing you are advancing yourself spiritually.

Countdown to 2012 It wasn’t that long ago questions were being asked about the accuracy of the ancient Mayan calendar’s ominous prediction of the cessation of our Age, as we know it, exactly on December 23, 2012. I do not believe this will happen. Instead I believe that when we look back on December 23, 2012, it will be seen as a line drawn in the sand, so to speak - the finite date when the Age changed. Before that date great, changes - which have already started - will be seen as welling up to that pivotal point. And thereafter a new way of life much different from today's lifestyle will have begun. Forecasting this pre-destined path for the world should be found all around us, if it is a natural evolution of our world. Present-day astrologers, as in ancient times (as well as in Mayan times) should be able to read signs that great change is upon us in the heavenly time clock of our solar system. And so they have. Pluto, a mysterious and powerful “planet,” is returning into the constellation of mighty Capricorn this month (January 2009) and this arrangement will continue until November 2024. This will be a momentous and historic occasion. This powerful astrological episode occurs about every 250 years, and in each instance “Earth Changing” events happened. The last time Pluto transited Capricorn was 1762-1777, and the world was changed with the American Revolution. When Pluto is in Capricorn, we usually experience both sides first: the good times then the hard times. The influence of this Pluto/Capricorn combination can be seen today with adaptations going on in banking and commerce. The world is changing around us and a revolution is taking place right this minute. This Age is ending, never to be the same again. It will be, as with all changes, a difficult time to bear. We learn the difference between right and wrong, and good and evil, and friendship and mutual support. --
