The latest from Cougina,
I spoke to him about 2PM Arizona time today. He left Houston yesterday late morning with a school teacher moving to Sarasota. They hadn't planned it, but she drove all night and arrived in Sarasota this morning. By 8:30 AM he had already petaled 3 1/2 hours. He is currently camped on the side of road about 60 miles from Lake Okeechobee across from Desoto Correctional Facility. He said he could not get enough of a charge with the solar panels to fire up the computer so here I am. He will blog when he gets more juice for the computer.

Blessed Be

Render unto Caesar...

Jesus once said "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's."

Paying taxes is obviously a hot issue with a lot of people. It shows up in a lot of different ways in my client's behavior. I wish to point out one common way I have observed. It happened to me and it seems to happen to most of us on our evolutionary path. At some point we become really pissed off at our government and wish to refrain from giving them a penny of our money. The government gives us plenty of reasons to justify our attitude, but this attitude can lead to people taking risky measures, not filing or fraudulent filing of returns. I know the US tax system is likely not even legal, but but from my experience not playing along can create problems, ergo render unto Caesar. I wish to address how to come to grips with the energy of paying taxes when and if you choose to pay. I am not judging those who do not pay, I totally understand. What I do and have advised others to do is to find some area of our government that you can perceive as doing some good. Protecting species, education, roads (you do use the roads, right?), parks, forests, social programs, space exploration and the like. Now imagine the taxes you pay going into that area of government. What you have done is gone from one extreme to another. As Cougina once pointed out to me, “The best way to find center is go to the two extremes”. After awhile you can imagine nothing and have a neutral energy about your money and taxes.

A lot of what I post will be obvious statements that you are already aware of, but what I learned from years of playing basketball was the importance of 'the basics'. Returning to the basics of anything can only help.

The Consciousness of Money and Taxes

I have been asked by our friend Cougina to contribute to his wonderful blog. It came to me that since I am in the middle of my thirty third tax season what better to talk about than my experience with my clients, their money and taxes. In 1976 I graduated college and became a CPA. A few years later after meeting Cougina, CPA I as came to know, could also mean conscious psychic accountant. I discovered the workings of our Hermetic metaphysical principles within my CPA practice. I discovered a spiritual side to my work. I found a highly conscious way of playing with numbers and helping others. In helping others I have manifested a mere three IRS client audits in those thirty three years. How did I do that? There are many factors on many planes to answer that one. I wish to point out a couple of the conscious/intentional ones. First I gave no thought or word to even the possibility of one of my clients being audited. Its unfathomable to me. I gave each return a blessing. A blessing by staying clear and balanced. A blessing by making my work space, sacred space. Sometimes an actual physical sign of the cross for those in higher need. Once even some frankincense oil on the papers. Further, I would not allow clients to do anything if it created the least bit of fear in them. It worked, three out of four thousand returns is a nice ratio. I all seems basic and obvious now but I like to remind myself.
