ECONOMY IMPROVES BASED ON PEOPLES FEELINGS, NOT STATISTICS


JUST LIKE WITH A SERIOUS, LIFE THREATENING ILLNESS, ECONOMIC RECOVERY IS NOT ALWAYS BASED ON GRIM STATISTICS AND PROBABILITIES, BUT ON PEOPLE'S DETERMINATION AND DESIRE, SUPPORTED BY POSITIVE FEELINGS, FOR THINGS TO GET BETTER.

It appears now that the American people themselves are driving the economic recovery by their own fervent and deeply felt desire for things to get better for each and every one of us. Positive sentiment not only can cure cancer but apparently raise our economy from its knees and make it walk tall again. Watch this video from the WSJ video collection and listen closely. What is driving the recovery is the spirit and positive energy of the people to heal our country in the face of contradictory and even dismal statistics, such as the housing market decline contributing a 1.5% loss in our GDP or a projected 10% unemployment rate.

The people of America built this country, and even a major dismembering of our financial back-bone by greedy and irresponsible men with too much power and not enough social conscience cannot paralyze what we have built. We are the spirit of our nation. May it walk tall again and reflect our love for each other and our indefatigable spirit. The soul of our country are the people, not the game players.



Looking at empirical date of economic statistics does not support the sentiment spreading through our country that things are getting better, any more than a low white blood cell count can depress an ill person's determination to get well. In the book "Creative Visualization" by Shakti Gagwain, this phenomenon is explained by her information that thought empowered with emotion creates reality, for good or bad. So our reality is shaped by our feelings and thoughts, which precede the creation of our experienced reality. So, if we feel good about the future of our nation and we expect things to get better, they will. Let us create our future life in our country as secure, prosperous and in tune with our individual as well as global survival goals.
