Do you need help paying bills? Are you just barely able to keep the wolf from the door? Are you at the end of your financial rope? Are you struggling to make ends meet? Are you having to work twice as hard to keep food on the table? Well, cheer up, bunkie — the solution is simple.

You merely need more money.

Okay, that’s probably obvious right from the get-go, so — why not just go out and get some?

The answer is built right into the question — “go out” is the operant phrase here. When you remain in your standard daily box, the box within which you conduct your daily stuff, your income is what it is, and your expenses are what they are, period.

It’s only if you GO OUTSIDE the box that something in that equation will change.

Years ago, I used to help people to create their “dream jobs”, meaning that we found something that they were ABLE to do, and really WANTED to do, but that would also create a livelihood that would hopefully last through the retirement years.

But what if you were one of the millions of middle-class citizens who were stripped of their retirement by the Wall Street Banker Scandals and other such manipulations of stocks and bonds?

How about if you just don’t happen to have it and find yourself right at the door to hopelessness and despair?

If you’re driven to desperation, you’re the one I want to talk to, not the one who thinks there’s still plenty of time to waste.

So here’s what you need to do, right now — you can just fill out this form and send it back to me, but DO IT NOW — don’t put this off again, it just makes it worse.

Spanish Inquisition? No, Just a Casual Chat.

I want to know just enough about you to help you find a path, but don’t put anything on there that you don’t want read out loud in public, because if your case is interesting enough — meaning a lot of other folks are in similar economic circumstances or live in similar neighborhoods  or work at similar jobs or have similar skills — I’ll want to include your situation in one of the broadcast workshops, so be careful what you say.

Okay, here’s what I need to know in order to be able to help you analyze and evaluate your circumstances and potential opportunities to break out of the aforementioned “box”.

1. YOUR NAME — It sounds dumb, but actually many people submit questions and fail to give me a way to contact them. A name helps me to “brand” you, which when you’re marketing, ya gotta have, and if you can’t give a name to a stranger, don’t expect a handshake back.
2. YOUR AGE. It can be approximate, but please don’t lie more than ten years’ worth, thank you.
3. YOUR BIRTHPLACE — Up to you how specific you want to be, but don’t include any info that could be used by evil online entities. All I want is some sort of idea of where you started your most recent Earth journey.
4. WHERE WERE YOU RAISED? — What I’m looking for here is, what sort of childhood environment was it? Downtown Cleveland, or the fringes of the Sahara? I need to get a handle on your background and exposure to people, ethnicities and cultures.
5. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN LATELY? — What I mean here is, where do you live now, where do you work, where do you shop, bowl and otherwise spend your time?
6. WHAT ARE YOUR BEST SKILLS? — What do you do for a living, and what other skills, related or not to your profession, might you put to use?
7. WHAT DO YOU KNOW? — Do you have any knowledge that might be of use? What sorts of things do you know — such as classic philosophy, geology, stamp collecting, raising amphibians, or perhaps you speak 17 languages and 43 dialects — things like that.
8. WHO DO YOU KNOW? — This could mean “what celebrities do you know personally and well enough to call them on the phone”, or it could mean “do you ever bump into anyone else during the course of an average workday?” or it could mean “are you online and hooked up?”. Only you can answer those questions, and you should. If you happen to know wealthy people of means who have a lot of  money, golly whiz, have we got goodies for them — they can collect and donate art and get a healthy benefit from it — they can gain local fame by donating an incredible collection to a local museum, university or library, and world-fame by donating our Donner Collection or our Jurassic Dinosaur Collection to a major museum.
9. WHERE DO YOU GO? — Do you ever leave the cycle of “home-car-work-car-food shopping-car-home-collapse and rest so you can do it again tomorrow”? If you do happen to run into folks on the way through your daily cycle, do you speak, nod or otherwise acknowledge each other?
10. WITH WHOM DO YOU SHARE? — This is a simple and short list of those with whom you share your thoughts from time to time, possibly with whom you play table games, online games, maybe do a tarot reading or binge-watch Gilligan’s Island.
11. WHAT TURNS YOU ON? — What’s exciting to you about the Work Ideas, and what would you like to share with others?
12. WHAT IS YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE? — This will be determined by your level of tolerance — the internet is a definite imposition on your personal privacy, so be careful how you interact online. That having been said, you should make a chart or list of what your online presence looks like now, and find out how to change that for the better, which might not mean “more” or “faster” or “bigger” — sometimes the way to “better” is “less” or “different”. Learn what’s there before you make changes.
13. SMOOTH IT OUT — Okay, you’re worth $36,543.16, but when you smooth it all out, how much have you actually got in cash?” asks Bud Abbott of his comedy partner, Lou Costello. “A dime,” he responds, digging into his pocket for the coin, but he pulls out a piece of paper — an I.O.U. for “one dime” from a neighborhood craps game. Just roughly, are you short every month, are you okay with your present bills, or are you somewhat flush with a little extra from time to time? I don’t want any of it — I’m trying to find out if you can jump out of the box by greasing it with a little cash, and if you’re constantly short of your needs, we can look at more drastic measures, such as busking, street sales, fairs, countertop “trunk show” space, and more

Now it’s time to create a daily log or diary of how well it’s going, and each of these items will give us an idea of how to make it work for YOU in YOUR life.

What works in someone else’s life may not work at all in your situation, and every single lifetime pathway has to be skillfully planned out, like architecture and city planning.

There is a definite path, but you have to have all the information before you can lay it all out there, so if there’s anything you think you ought to add into the info packet about yourself and your condition or situation, please do so now, but again, don’t put anything down that you wouldn’t want read aloud in public.

You can tune in to the ICW tomorrow and when you indicate that you are on with us, I’ll read your responses to my questions and give you a “reading”, which will be some sort of indication of ways you might proceed, which options might be open to you.

I’ll be conducting a “Buskers Only” Workshop sometime soon — will work out the details with the Powers That Be, and get back to you on that. If you need money today to pay last month’s rent, you’re probably ready for the Buskers Only Workshop.

I might have some further questions for you about your circumstances when we’re workshopping, but you have your homework clearly set out before you.

By the way, if you want to actually BE SEEN at the Top, you might learn to activate and use a CONDUIT. You can find out all about Conduits as soon as I know more about them — I’m looking into a variety of possibilities for casings and wearables, and when I get the catalogs in my hands, I’ll make a decision.

These “Conduits” are kinda like Pocket Relic Shrines, if you’re familiar with Tibetan gear, and they DO work, they ARE guaranteed to work as direct linkage to Norton Street, near the second bookcase, through the BOOK PICKUP at that juncture in the Causal Plane.

You can also use them as DIRECT LINKAGE to Cosmo, Ench02, Gemini and other Terminal Junctions in the BardoTown Layout.

You get a VISIBLE linkage to the target space, meaning that you can be seen and heard in the Causal Plane Space called “norton”, which is at the apex of the n-loop — you are trying to work your way toward the “l” loop, if you’ve forgotten, and I think you’re gonna make it, maybe just by the skin of your teeth.

Sorry, that requires a bit of thought — teeth have no skin.

See You At The Top!!!
