" do you see the NASDQ at 10,000? do you see yourself a wiser more evolved human being? of course you do. the market grows and evolves as do you, as does all life. you are living backward in time, just as a wizard does. living tomorrow's dream today is always open to you. who says you must live only in the past? by living forward in time, mortals are always weighed down by the burden of past memory; they allow the past to create the present. the wizard chooses to let the FUTURE create the present - that is what living backward in time really means..." "..live the the highest ideal now. see a future based on the belief that you are cared for in the universe, that you are growing toward higher consciousness, that love, truth, self-acceptance and abundance are already yours. you do not have to achieve these states today in order to live them now. LIVING THEM NOW IS HOW YOU WILL ACHIEVE THEM." i can see a million dollars in my future. i can see a million friends in my future. i see a million naked ladies... i see a million cheeseburgers... anybody need anything? i'm pre-loaded. my future good fortune is your future good fortune. come get your dollar. ooooooooh, let's have a party. :-) love, -polvie
