This week I was writing about capitalism and mediation... healing, re-parenting and love...
I realized that families without loving relationship and communication skills produce teens who turn into adult hoarders and aggressors... see below the threads woven into a tapestry of love...

In the past 30 years, capitalism entered a new phase – "Capitalism on Steroids," with electronic day-trading of derivatives, currency, commodities, short-selling, hedge funds, making millions a day from billions invested, while the rest of humanity becomes impoverished.
With this "Philosophy of More" the wealthy compare themselves to each other, want more, and more, and more – a mental illness, an obsession with more. It may be only a revolution will stop them. A colleague wrote:
"Civil War is coming to every financial capital. It's called Occupy Wall Street. Search #OWS on twitter. Movements of this kind take 7 years to reach mainstream 2017. That day, in 2017, negligent bankers will stand trial in London, NYC, Amsterdam, Frankfurt. They can run but they can't hide."
I pray for the damaged and sick minds and hearts of these wealthy and obsessed people, they are so sad, wasting all their money on egotistic pursuits, or just hording it, rather than helping to co-creatively develop a new, sustainable world.
Some people think hoarding (greed) comes from being cold and selfishness; others think from being fearful and insecure, and the only way they feel secure is to hold onto stuff (money),
I see that the hoarder-greedy ones may have been abused or love neglected, unloved as children, now they are love-avoidant, without love skills, without warmth, fearful of gentle love and emotional intimacy, uncomfortable with kindness, devoid of empathy and compassion for others.
All they want is more and more travel, things, fancy food, fine wine, clothing, jewelery, houses or money... and for some, power over others.
I offer wealthy people the chance to re-parent themselves and learn love skills in the 7 Keys to Love book, workshop or phone coaching. They have much love to share, just like others, but their hearts are frozen, in need of kindness and a willingness to grow and change.
Meditation can help us grow a garden of love and helps us heal. Simply sit and quiet yourself, notice what places need healing within. Listen to your heart’s true desires. Encourage yourself to make friends with any fear, pain or addiction residing within you. The only way to finally dissolve fear, pain and addiction is with compassion and daily self-care. The seed of compassion-love-kindness is within you. Nurture it each day. Grow the love within you, this way you are helping to take care of yourself and care for the world.
There once was a hungry mouse who scurried around a greedy man's house. The mouse covetously ate his cheese. The greedy man billowed with anger and wheezed. The greedy man also had a neurotic cat, all day it whined, schemed and obsessed, trying to convince the tiny, shiny goldfish, to visit his stomach as his permanent quest.
The moral of the story:
Pleasant sights and words may capture your mind; awareness can free your heart. Things may fuel your obsession and desires; meditation can help you discern the liars, serenity will heal your heart, and then take you higher.
