I’m a big fan of Wikipedia, it’s my main page and I’ve spent hours and hours reading articles. I was reading about Wikipedia in the article Wikipedia when I read this:
“In a study of Wikipedia as a community, economics Ph.D. student Andrea Ciffolilli argued that the low transaction costs of participating in wiki software create a catalyst for collaborative development, and that a “creative construction” approach encourages participation.”
So that got me thinking, intellectual constructs are a form of wealth, just think of all the intellectual copyrights out there. But how do you measure the wealth and intellectual property generated from a project that’s never been sold? How much richer is the world and each individual when they benefit from an Open-source project?

Not income, but wealth. Do the people who own the factories and own the land, who then chose what happens to the land (suburban sprawl) have a proportionate impact on natural resource use to the percentage of wealth that they hold?

Obama has already stated he is a socialist communist when he said he wants to spread the wealth around. This is socialism at the least and communism at its best. How will you protect your wealth?

Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Kamale Kamalaleyi Praseed Praseed Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Mahalaxmiyei Namaha
(Various ways ways to spell the Sanskrit transliteration)
My very rough translation:
Underlying Vibration of all creation, abundance please, cherishing your lotus feet, be pleased Great Laxmi Goddess, I bow to You.
The audio is by Shri Anandi Ma and Dileepji from the CD “Mantras For Abundance” published by Sounds True.
The audio is available at Shri Anandi Ma’s group’s website www.dyc.org, or directly from Sounds True at www.soundstrue.com (Thanks to purna24 for info)
27 Repetitions (Repeat 4 times for 108 rounds = 1 mala = 40 minutes)
*Morning is the best time to chant, especially after bathing. But in the evening before dinner, or 3 hours after dinner is ok too.
**Once you learn it by heart, just practice on a mala, especially a lotus seed one, and it will take around 30+/- minutes to do 1 mala a day.
*If you recite this mantra daily 108 times financial worries, trouble will go away.
**Daily worship of this mantra helps in attaining Siddhi. *Siddhi is typically defined as “a magical or spiritual power for the control of self, others and the forces of nature.”
“Also to solve your financial worries, experience its wonder within 90 days. Proved to be very effective. Bestows you with lot of money and wealth from unexpected source. [Especially when using with either the Shree or Lakshmi/Laxmi Yantra]
“‘Shree Yantra’ - Shree meaning wealth and Yantra - Meaning ‘Instrument’ -
“Look into the center of the Yantra, trying to blink as rarely as possible; you don’t want to look at the particular details of the Yantra, just keep your sight right in the center and observe the whole Yantra at once.
“In time, after at least seven days of Yantra meditation you will be able to tap into the same yantric energy even without a Yantra (at the beginning you may fix your sight on an exterior or imaginary point or evoke the Yantra with your eyes closed).
“In superior phases the Yantra absorbs the practitioner’s complete attention, and he can no longer tell if the Yantra is within himself or if he is within the Yantra; this is the state of non-duality.”

The Lakshmi Mantra is being chanted by Shri Anandi Ma and a devotee.
Shri Anandi Ma … travel[s] extensively in India, the United States and Europe, conducting meditation programs and yoga retreats. … As part of her role as Shri Dhyanyogi’s spiritual heir, Shri Anandi Ma has also assumed the responsibility for continuing the humanitarian works begun during Shri Dhyanyogi’s lifetime. These include operating a hospital, sponsoring eye surgery camps, and providing food for the poor. In all these works, she continues to spread the love and light of her lineage and of her beloved sadaguru, Shri Dhyanyogi Madhusudandas.

Why is it that McCain and Palin keep bringing up redistribution of the wealth, when he is not using a flat tax system? They say that doing so is being a socialist. Yet they are planning to do it themselves.
Isn’t that being just a tad hypocritical on their part?

It may sound a slightly unbelievable if I tell you that a 3000 old Chinese practice can actually solve most of the problems in the various aspects of your life. But often truth is stranger than fiction and the ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui (pronounced as fung shway) can truly bring about remarkable changes in the aspects of your career, health, personal relationships and of course wealth. The basic assumption of many such practices is that whatever energy you give out to the universe will evidently come back to you. Feng shui also operates on the principle of balancing out the various energies and elements in an individual’s living space. So if you are looking at attracting the goddess of wealth into your home or office, maybe Feng Shui wealth tips are just the thing for you.
Clearance of clutter from in and around your space is crucial in applying the Feng Shui wealth tips and tricks. A lot of unnecessary clutter is believed to cause blockage in many areas of your life including wealth and career. So clean your house or office from things that have not been used for two years or more. This tip works to enhance the positive vibes in every area of your life. Also, the water element in feng shui is believed to be a major factor in activating and enhancing your wealth luck. Feng Shui wealth tip suggests bringing in a flowing water body in your home or office and the waterfall fountains are one of the best ways to achieve this objective.
However, the correct placement of objects play a significant role in deciding the effects that Feng Shui wealth tips will have on your life. For instance just as flowing water can activate your career luck and wealth flow, the wrong placement can also lead to infidelity. It is thereby crucial that you seek the guidance and counsel of a reliable Feng Shui practitioner before you decide to implement any tips for enhancing any area of your life. When discussing about the water element in enhancing wealth luck, you could also opt for placing some active goldfish in an aquarium. The soothing portraits and pictures of flowing water can also do the trick if properly placed in the right direction.
Also, Feng Shui wealth tip suggests the activation of our very own personal wealth corner in the house or office. The southeast direction or corner is representative of the wealth aspect of our lives and we would do well to keep this area clean and properly lighted at all times. Ensure that the energy can flow smoothly around this corner to keep your wealth luck positive and active. The proper use of colors can also work wonder when you are trying to get the Feng Shui tips to change your life for the better. So, what are you waiting for? Select the right guide and implement the advice to ensure that you are surrounded by peace and prosperity from all corners.
