The Power of Vulnerability

A New Exploration of Consciousness

 

Do you want to feel the physical connection between your body and mind?

Do you know what your issues are but have difficulty "getting to the bottom of it"?

Would you be willing to explore these parts of yourself in a safe and supportive group setting?

 

The Power of Vulnerability is a workshop that will help us to connect to the deep, potent parts of ourselves.

While power and vulnerability may seem like polar opposites the truth is that in our deepest most vulnerable selves lies our greatest power and source of true healing and joy!

Sorry for the lenghty quote from Human Action by Ludwig von Mises but I couldn't resist :)
Demand for Money and Supply of Money:

"A medium of exchange is a good which people acquire neither for their own consumption nor for employment in their own production activities, but with the intention of exchanging it at a later date against those goods which they want to use either for consumption or for production.

Money is a medium of exchange. It is the most marketable good which people acquire because they want to offer it in later acts of interpersonal exchange. Money is the thing which serves as the generally accepted and commonly used medium of exchange. This is its only function. All the other functions which people ascribe to money are merely particular aspects of its primary and sole function, that of a medium of exchange.[3]

Media of exchange are economic goods. They are scarce; there is [p. 402] a demand for them. There are on the market people who desire to acquire them and are ready to exchange goods and services against them. Media of exchange have value in exchange. People make sacrifices for their acquisition; they pay "prices" for them. The peculiarity of these prices lies merely in the fact that they cannot be expressed in terms of money. In reference to the vendible goods and services we speak of prices or of money prices. In reference to money we speak of its purchasing power with regard to various vendible goods.

There exists a demand for media of exchange because people want to keep a store of them. Every member of a market society wants to have a definite amount of money in his pocket or box, a cash holding or cash balance of a definite height. Sometimes he wants to keep a larger cash holding, sometimes a smaller; in exceptional cases he may even renounce any cash holding. At any rate, the immense majority of people aim not only to own various vendible goods; they want no less to hold money. Their cash holding is not merely a residuum, an unspent margin of their wealth. It is not an unintentional remainder left over after all intentional acts of buying and selling have been consummated. Its amount is determined by a deliberate demand for cash. And as with all other goods, it is the changes in the relation between demand for and supply of money that bring about changes in the exchange ratio between money and the vendible goods.

Every piece of money is owned by one of the members of the market economy. The transfer of money from the control of one actor into that of another is temporally immediate and continuous. There is no fraction of time in between in which the money is not a part of an individual's or a firm's cash holding, but just in "circulation."[4] It is unsound to distinguish between circulating and idle money. It is no less faulty to distinguish between circulating money and hoarded money."

May the Nature
of who we are,
Be
our drink of choice,
Become
our drink of life,
Quenching
thirst of others...

Life of course is not a single player game, but we are the host, bandleader and cameras of your particular show.
What if we were all just searching for happiness not just money. Money only seems to be the end to ones problems. In truth our money problems likely are least responsible for the situation, it may be a factor but only one of many. It is impossible to say that money is the common thing that would represent happiness, as though life is some numbers game that we hope to be on the well ordered side of.

Saying that the universe is abundant by default and not by specific intent is entirely too narrow of a conversation to have, statictics is the thing you go to for that prediction yet it is still only a very well educated prediction. Is it possible that we do have true laws that few have learned,  because of their subtle non linear nature. The laws that we are aware of came from the simple idea, "hey I would like to do that."

New ideas are born every second, some will persue and forever alter our reality others will not yet they are still just as relevent.
