Reading the latest so called news about the financial crisis and everything, It makes me want to reflect on the "key to Happiness" and the concept of money. It is interesting to me how they have done studies that show having enough money to take care of things you need, and a little extra does bring happiness, but having tremendous amounts of money, actually does not bring happiness at all, in fact often times it causes people to experience misery and suffering. I have personally experienced this and know it to be true. For some reason in our society of wealth inequality, as you get into the higher levels of wealth, it can sometimes make people selfish and mean and create a world that it is just a good place to stay away from. I remember for a time I somehow ended up in the New York City area helping some people who had tremendous amounts of wealth. I lived amongst them in their strange type of world filled with extreme comfort and luxuries. At first it was fun and exciting, A rolls royce is a nice well made car, of quality. Things like this are good. But I also encountered intense selfishness, pride, anger, fighting, and some things that were completely just really bizarre, but somehow comical. Maybe you've seen this also. After being in this world for I while I could see it would make me soft and weak. It was like my energy and life force was being taken from me. I just couldn't take it anymore. So I left to Go on a Vision Quest. Now please understand , I'm not against wealth. True wealth is a blessing. How many friends you have is a good measure of true wealth. And there are people with tremendous monetary wealth and true wealth carefully considering their actions and trying to make the world a better place. I became the owner of much of the rockefeller estate as a N.Y. state citizen,when it became public park land. If that land had not been left alone and protected by this family it probably would have been subdivided and sold. Now it is a beautiful park land donated for all to enjoy. I own it and so do the ghetto youth of New York City, and all citizens of the state. They are free to go hiking or jogging there, as long as they abide by the laws. So many libraries, foundations,have been donated to all. Humans have re-allocated wealth trying to increase equality many times. Many of you may come from countries with more equal or less equal wealth distribution. But Some things must be equally shared by all. We all share the air and water. We all can share in advancement of knowledge. In the United States we are not perfect and we have serious problems, but still, even though most are not fuly aware of it, every citizen in the united states is actually a multi-trillionaire and owns priceless land in our national parks, forest sanctuaries, monuments,.... things like this. And the beauty is that it is equally shared with all, and no one person is forced to pay property tax on it, and we have professional public servants taking care of it. Theoretically at least, If they betray the trust we have placed in them they will be held accountable. This happens from time to time. But the beauty of this system is that it enables me to interact, if I choose, with any King of the Earth, as a fellow King, but the difference with me is that I share my wealth with all my 300 million or so brothers and sisters, Equally , whenever I can. This gives me strength and allies. By doing this I have quite an arsenal of brothers and sisters ready to help me stand up for freedom and truth at any time. I have my brothers and sisters creating the most powerful beats, I have others inventing the newest technologies, Some sit and watch the mars lander, we study satelite maps, We talk about protecting our air and water, building more permaculture gardens, bicycle trails, cross country skiing in the winter, climbing mountains. And this tremendous power, when I'm unified with the universal power of Love, puts me into alignment with my brothers in sisters in every country all over the world. I can have interactions with brothers and sisters from Swizerland, Germany, France, Thailand, China, what ever country that you are from. All working toward the same goal. Sharing, Caring, making the world a litlle bit of a nicer place whenever we can.
Now as I talk about money and wealth distribution, , I'm not trying to promote class divisions, and If you are reading this and have tremendous wealth and feel threatened, don't,. I don't want any of your personal belongings. I feel having private property and clear boundries is important for peace. I feel we should all work for a more Equal world, but I don't wish to force anyone to do this. It must be a free will choice. If you have tremendous wealth my advice to you would to become a "good" rich. Its possible, and when it happens, it makes the world a better place for everyone. For the person giving, the most, but also for the recievers. And remember I'm a multi-trillionaire myself---(not personally, personally I actually use very little money to live, using money I found was givng me headaches. ... I'm talking about as a U.S. citizen....), I give away billions every year , we send teams of doctors all over the world doing free operations, humanitarian assistance, Try to help people grow food, many things. There really are many kind hearted good people out there. You might not always see them on t.v. or in the news, but they exist. Now I hope all this great wealth is all properly being managed, I know it might not be, but its also being investigated and brought to light. Just like the banking system, if it does not have a kind heart, we must re-examine whats happening to us. Isn't there laws in the bible against charging high interest rates, and aren't all debts supposed to be canceled after 7 years when you live amongst free men? But for now I trust goblins to hold my small amount of money that I use. I prefer trading and freely giving and recieving blessings. This is given to me by the Creator. I'm also thankful that money exists. Its not all bad, its the love of money thats the root of evil. We need to have a means of exchange of goods and services. I just want to see it all managed with the highest level of intelligence and also with compassion. This is being looked into at this time by very intelligent and thoughtful people older and more experienced than myself. I'm sure some things will be getting better. I don't want to see anyone anywhere starving or not having adequate shelter and healthcare.
.-------But, getting back to my story, I was living in the N.Y. city area, the northeast,.. the power spot of the medicine wheel.... Good music, people there have quick minds, the artwork, artists, music, the best in the world. Sure there are many problems ,and I purposely due to financial reasons, do not live there now, but it is a cool place. A 24hr city, You have to be strong to survive there. But as I said ,I was helping friends who lived in a world of tremendous bizarre wealth and after a while it got to be too much for me and I had to leave. This all happened by when I was a young man in my twenties. Anyway, I went to live in my tent inside the Catskills Mountains forest near the town of Woodstock N.Y. to go on a vision quest for a few weeks. In woodstock I met some people who knew Jimi Hendrix when he lived there and told me some cool stories from his Sky Church days. I possibly have a guitar he owned, but that's another story. Anyway, I remember the first night out in the wilderness, alone by myself, sitting inside my tent in an amazing beautiful place, high in the mountains. Alone at night, Inside my tent with just a candle burning-safely away from anything that could catch fire-, and a powerful thunder and lightning storm came. Heavy rains against the tent yet I remained warm and dry. The wind blowing clean ionized air from all directions. For the first time in a long time I was able to think clearly and reflect about events that had happened during the past few days. Suddenly I started to see things I didn't realize before. This one person who was telling me their problems a few days ago, I realized something I could easily do to help them. Lots of thoughts like this came to me about what other peole were going through and things I could do to help them. For some reason, before while living in luxury I was unable to see this. It was like I was trapped in this bubble of comfort and immune to others suffering while I was there. Once I got into my vision quest, in the cathedral of nature, I was able to see clearly. This was when I realized the "key to happiness". Aligning with the power of Love. One way to do this is by Doing nice little things for people and expecting nothing in return. This really does bring happiness. And most religons I think would agree. And even though you do it expecting nothing in return, you do get blessings from this. Living here in Hawaii I learned that The Native Hawains have a saying,"no good deed goes unrewarded." This is true. Please understand I'm not a perfect person or anything, I'm a human like everyone else, trying to make it here on earth. I make mistakes like everyone else. But this key to happiness really is true. And I think during these times on earth it is a good thing to think about. The state of our hearts is the most important thing right now, and will determine the eternal future of our souls, and the state of our earth right now and how we transition into the next higher level. A soul is of infinite value. Really even being a multi-trillionaire at this present time is nothing compared to what every soul who makes it is going to be experiencing in the coming new times. And the only way to get there is not by travel, or even just good works, but by the state of our hearts. Seek the Creator with patience, on your own, with a sincere heart and you will find the path to happiness. God is Love, and who doesn't love doesn't know God. But understand one thing also, In this present world, the false path of the wicked that leads to destruction, has purposely been placed above the true path to eternal life. This is shown in the Hopi prophecy and the prophecy rock.(Google search Hopi prophecy and see this for yourself if you are interested) The path of the wicked and selfish--who are hurting all mankind just to save their own--unless they change, they are doomed to destruction. But anything is possible, hearts can and do change, and there is a bridge to the correct path from the false path still available if they seek it.
We must always remember, this present time period of so much inequality and suffering will one day end. Its built into the system by the Creator. It in guaranteed. And when the new 5th world starts,(we are currently in the 4th world, out of 9 time epochs--according to Hopi wisdom) its going to be so great... Beyond anything we can comprehend at this time. I have seen visions of this and believe me, it is real. Its going to happen. The Creator has set it up. Any soul that has a chance to get there should go for it. It is the only thing really worth striving for. This is a contest everyone can win.----- Its going to happen and it is happening right now. It is beginning inside our hearts.

P.S. Thanks for reading this far, I know time right now is precious. Hopefully these words might help someone. We live out here in Hawaii. Sometimes we are caretakers of large exotic estates and we have people stay in guest houses in exchange for helping with our perma-culture gardens, or helping with childcare ect. We may one day sell our music on i-tunes, but hope to always have some songs offered as a free gift to all. We wish everyone the best. Remember to have fun. Feel free to check out our music site--trea Dave music. Love is Eternal. This is what our music is about. We use our music as a sonic forcefield, and also to create a wall of sound for our children to take naps. If you like it enjoy it, if you don't like it, thats fine also. I know there is a lot of good music out there and every music has its own time and place. But regardless, have a great day or night, whatever time it is where you are. We are all souls here on earth at this time. And remember your soul is of infinite value. It took a lot for all of us to get where we are right now, and the best is yet to come. Creation is an upward Spiral------ALOHA
