Many new discussions took place at the forums. For example, an
interesting one is about Charisma. what is it and how can we
develop it. You can see what has been going on at :

Editorial
,
As some of you may know, my former "incarnation" was as an
investment banker in the City. I served as a market forecaster,
and did time in both the Stock and Bond markets. What you
may not know is that there is a substantial "underworld" of
investment professionals using all manner of esoteric methods
that would not be out of place in an Astrology conference! In my
first article this month, I spill the beans on these strange Wall
Street Wizards.
This month, I have finished renovating, and am currently moving
into, a new home. If ever time was short, this is it. Hence, and
rather appropriately, the second article in this issue is about
how to make the best use of the time you have. If you put a few
of the ideas into action, it should make a huge difference. Try it
and see.
The rumors are true. Esoteric techniques ARE being used to make
big money. Whether it be collapsing stocks on Wall Street, or
volatile Commodity Futures, the esoteric traders are out there
and growing in number.
During my eleven career in Investment Banking, my role as
Technical Analyst to a number of major firms gave me the
opportunity to not only hear about these secret techniques, but
actually use them to advise on the investment of huge quantities
of money.
What sort of esoteric methods are we talking about? Specifically,
Astrology, Numerology and Sacred Geometry. Why are they still
secret? Because, in the extremely conservative world of
Investment Banking, they are considered highly unorthodox, and
hence illegitimate. The very suspicion that such methods are
definitely being used by major "responsible" banks would cause a
media scandal (and has done so on at least one occasion). Even
within the firm, anyone using such techniques tends to keep them
secret from their seniors. The fact that such techniques work
extremely well, and allow you to forecast and trade the markets
in a manner possible in no other way, is not of the slightest
interest.
Astrological techniques are generally used to determine future
turning points - i.e. tops or bottoms - in the market being
studied. However, they can also be used to determine price levels
where falling prices are likely to meet support, or rising prices
are likely to meet resistance to their ascent. In my own work, I
tended to use a clustering approach to determine future turning
points in time. In other words, where several different
astrological signals all line up to the same day on daily charts,
or the same week on longer-term weekly charts, it would signal a
high probability turning point. All of these would then be noted
in a calender, often years in advance, which could then be
consulted on a regular basis to watch for critical time periods.
Astrological natal charts are also very powerful. As with human
beings, every stock or commodity is considered to have a specific
date of birth. In the case of stocks, for example, this is often
the incorporation date. Hence it is possible to draw up a natal
chart for a stock, and then analyze what is coming up for that
stock in any particular time period, just as you would for a
human being.
Remarkable astrological correspondences can be seen around major
financial market events. For example, it has been found that the
1929 and 1987 stock market charts look remarkably similar.
Actually, this is common knowledge in the financial industry.
What is not commonly known is that when moon cycles and Fibonacci
numbers are considered, it is possible to demonstrate that the two
charts are actually IDENTICAL. Moreover, the 1929 crash and
the 1987 crash are separated by an exact number of Fibonacci
lunar cycles. The person who discovered this "Spiral Calender"
phenomenon, an options trader called Chris Carolyn, put this
information to use in the 1989 "mini-crash" and made so much
money, he never needs to work again!
Numerology and Sacred Geometry are also used in various forms in
the financial markets. One of the truly great exponents of these
techniques was William D. Gann; reputed to be the greatest trader
who ever lived. Anyone interested in these techniques would do
well to study his books and courses.
Most of his techniques center around the circle, and divisions of
the circle. Hence 360, 270, 240, 180, 144, 120, 90, 72, 60, 45
are all important numbers in the financial markets, since they
are all exact fractions of a circle (e.g. 270 is 3/4 of a 360
degree circle). All of these numbers are found to be very
important in studying price charts. For example, you will often
find that a market makes a top exactly 90 days/weeks/months after
a previous top or bottom. Astrologers know 90 degrees to be the
Square aspect.
Gann made use of all sorts of strange charts that would not have
looked out of place in a magician's secret chamber. For instance,
the "Square of 9" chart is a number spiral that commences with 1
in the center position. The numbers 2-9 then spiral around it to
form a second layer, followed by all the other numbers in
successive layers, working outward and getting progressively
larger. This was just one of Gann's square charts. However, he
also did number sequences in hexagons, triangles, and circles.
With these tools, you can plot major market turning points, and
then study relationships between them, using the circular angles
defined above (e.g. the price of the top formed last week is
"trine (120)" to some major previous top or bottom). There are
also ways of combining such charts with Astrology.
Such concepts work on longer term price charts too. Often, you
will find that a market top/bottom occurs 120 months after a
previous top/bottom. Yet, this also illustrates another important
market geometry. After all, what is 120 months equal to? The
answer is, exactly 10 years. Indeed, it is also found that
markets turn on anniversary dates; ten years, five years, one
year, six months etc., after a previous major turning point, etc.
By looking forward on a long-term price chart from a major
previous top or bottom, you will often find other major turns 5,
10, 15 years and more into the future. Indeed, Gann kept charts
going back decades and, in a couple of cases (such as Wheat),
centuries!
In contrast to these TIME turning points, it is also possible to
determine important PRICE levels where the market has a high
probability of stopping and forming a top or bottom. The simplest
method by far is to determine the midpoint between a previous
recent major top and bottom. This midpoint will then form a
support or resistance to the price action. Hence, it is possible
to mark this point in advance on the chart, and watch to see when
the price reaches it. If it starts to turn at this price level
(especially if we have a turning point in time as well, as
discussed above), then a potential trade is possible. There are
many other techniques, besides the "50% retracement" method just
described, for determining key price levels.
In truth, there are a huge number of powerful techniques
available in both price and time. With these, it is possible to
be well prepared for anything the market might do. Indeed, there
are many traders who work 100% with these techniques ALONE, and
have no idea what is happening in the so-called "real world".
They do not watch CNN; they do not care what the economists are
forecasting; it does not matter to them who the US/UK are bombing
this month. All that matters is the price action, and what their
esoteric indicators and signals are telling them. You may be
surprised to hear that many of these traders do extremely well
indeed.
The valuable lesson to draw from all of this is that esoteric
technology has many practical applications that are actually
measurable in a quantitative manner. The same divine symmetries
enshrined in the pyramids and temples of Ancient Egypt are alive
and active in the world today, in ways that still defy exact
scientific explanation.
Hence, the esoteric numbers and ratios,
discovered and revered millennia ago, truly are present in all
aspects of our world .

Graham Hancock is the world's leading proponent of the theory
that a major world civilisation of great technological and
spiritual complexity once existed far beyond the dawn of
prehistory, and helped create the civilisations of Ancient
Egypt, Mexico and the East. Heaven's Mirror is by far his best
book on the subject to date.
Packed with stunning colour
photographs and including the most up to date information on the
subject - including the gigantic megalithic stone structures
recently discovered off the coast of Japan - this book presents
the most compelling evidence for the Atlantis civilisation ever
compiled.
Ranging across Mexico, Egypt, South America, Cambodia
and the Pacific, this fascinating book discovers fascinating
relationships between the different cultures of the ancient
world, and makes a compelling case for a common source of origin
in a civilisation that vanished from history in 10,500 BC.
Time is something that none of us ever seem to have enough of.
Yet, with the help of some simple time management techniques, it
is possible to get a lot more done in less time, and thereby
enhance the quality of your life. As Tony Robbins puts it, time
management is really life management.
One excellent way to get more out of the time you have is to
actually do some time planning. For instance, you can spend 15-30
minutes every evening planning the next day. Doing so will enable
you to get far more done than you ever have bfore. You can
do the same thing every weekend to plan out the next week, and
determine all that you want to achieve within that time frame. At
the start of one month, or the end of another, you can sketch out
the coming month in similar fashion.
If you put all of these timescales into active practice, you will
truly propel yourself into the fast lane of achievers. Planning
is the key to getting to where you wish to go. How do you
actually use this time? Simply listing the things you want to get
done is a good start. If you do this, and then cross off items as
they are done, you will probably have doubled your productivity.
An even better way is to grade the activities in order of
importance. You can give a grade A to items that are both urgent
and important: they absolutely must get done. Grade B items are
those that are important but not urgent. Grade C items are things
that do need to be done, but are neither urgent not important.
Grade D activities are those that would be nice to do, but are
neither urgent, important, and do not even need to be done. Grade
E are all others that do not fit into the above.
An example of a grade A item is making sure your tax forms are
submitted when today is the deadline date! It is both important
and urgent, and the consequences are severe if you do not do it.
Another grade A item might be fleeing to the hills in the face of
an imminent and massive tornado. Examples of grade B activities -
important but not urgent - might be pruning the fruit tree so
that it produces good fruit this season, or listening to a
motivational tape seminar. Grade C items - neither important nor
urgent - might be things like buying a new dishwasher, or fixing
a loose shelf. Grade D items - nice to do, but not necessary -
are things like going to a movie, chatting to work colleagues, or
watching the World Series on TV.
Here is what you do with this system. Create your list, and then
make sure you get all grade A items done first. Do them ALL
before you move onto grade B. Do all of these before moving onto
grade C. Indeed, grade C items are the sort of thing you should
be looking to delegate to someone else, especially if you are in
business. Your time should be focused on high priority matters;
not things that really do not matter at all.
Grade D items get done once you have freed up the time and
cleared your list of all grade A, B, and C items. Yet, here is
the interesting and important point. What grade activity do you
think most people spend the majority of their free time on?
Actually, it's grade D! If you think how much time people spend
watching TV, going to movies, playing computer games or whatever,
you will realize how true this is. In comparison, how many people
really focus on high priority activities, even at work? Isn't it
so much more interesting to chat to work colleagues than to
actually get the job at hand done? Don't we prefer to watch TV
rather than plan our goals and entire life direction? What grade
activity do YOU spend much of your time on? If the answer is
grade D, might there just be a correlation with the life results
you are getting?
Another way to manage time better is to do two things at once
wherever possible! For example, you could exercise AND listen to
instructional tapes at the same time. In this way, you improve
both body and mind and use the time twice over. Some people like
to subscribe to tape digests of top books, and thus get a lot of
their essential reading done in this way. If you do not feel like
listening whilst exercising, how about doing it in the car while
you are on the way to work?
Another example might be travelling
in a coach or train, and doing work on your computer, or holding
an important conversation with someone on your mobile phone. Yes,
it is important to simply sit and watch the world go by at times,
and you should make for time for that too. However, if you
actually used some of these spare minutes and hours every so
often, think how much it adds up to in a year. I used to read
books on my train journey to and from work every day; a total
time of about an hour and twenty minutes or so. Whilst I would
get through a book or two in a week, it amazed me how many people
just sat there and stared blankly ahead of them.
Yet another way to create more time for yourself is to get up
earlier in the morning! If you get up just half an hour earlier
each day, you create for yourself and extra 3.5 hours per week,
14 hours per month, and 182 hours per year! It may be hard to do
at first, but it is definitely worth it.
In summary, there are many ways to revolutionize your use of
every hour of your day. What is needed now is the will to do it.
You can create a positive spiral for yourself by taking even one
of these ideas and working with it for a while. Imagine what
could happen if you used them all.
You might just become
unstoppable !
