It used to be (way back when) that the purpose of the media was to inform. Over the years that was changed “to excite.” And now, it seems, its purpose
is to “panic.” You can’t sell newspapers with good news on the front page nor can you acquire sponsors for TV shows that present our daily times with truth and calmness.This being said, my object is to answer the ongoing question of “what to do” and how does one live within this panic oriented society. In metaphysics the answer is “restraint.”

As our economic conditions have undergone change over the past year and the unemployment rate has gone up and corporate chicanery has come full circle, the average person has been inundated with “news” that is bleak and unsupportive. But it is hard to avoid the propaganda and most everyone is
thinking of belt-tightening and cutbacks. That approach is wrong!

Common sense restraint is good logic. Metaphysical restraint is self destructive. The laws of the Universe are there to maintain balance and
harmony of action. Those issues or acts that disrupt the norm are met with an equal counter force to bring all conditions back in accord. Lack is met
with abundance; fear is met with courage; worry is met with faith; weakness is met with strength; and apathy is met with action.

As individuals we are not in control of the national economy, but we are in control of our individual space in that economy. Whatever conditions
surround you must be adjudged on the basis of your own belief. If you are afraid to spend and begin “pinching” you will cut off your potential flow of good. If you worry about tomorrow you will set negative forces into action and tomorrow will be ugly. If you believe that you are a victim of economic circumstances you will imprison yourself in your own mind.

Remember that you are a co-creator with the Universe. The force of creation is within you and at no time are you not moving with your hand on the
throttle. If you are going to apply the brakes your abundance will come to a halt. If you open up the throttle carelessly you will surely fly off the
tracks. Restraint is the governing force is both cases. Remember, the Universe does not over-create nor produce lack. It is always moving
forward – with omnipotent intelligence and restraint. Your mission is to move along in harmony with it – GT
