The U.S. economy is in a situation where it can’t pay its debt, $38 trillion. There’s no way. A sustainable debt would be about 60% of GDP. The United States is at 120% double. What Brick’s is wanting to do is take the global dependence away from the U.S. dollar. What that means is that there’s less dependence on the American dollar, which means it is, you guessed it, weaker. Make yourself immune. And the easiest way to make yourself immune is to not be in debt, meaning not having car payments, not having house payments, not having mortgage payments. When our personal economics are bad and we’re having money challenges, our frequencies are lower and we’re denser. We’re closing ourselves down spiritually, living only in the 3D.
Ourselves immune to the economic collapse, providing there would be another economic collapse, which I want to talk about in this episode. But the reason, normally I would never, ever bring a conversation like this into the podcast, but I’m doing it because what happens in your external world affects you mentally and energetically and spiritually. Now, if you were a shaman or a sorcerer, it would not. But I’m not a shaman. Even though we are all sorcerers, I’m not a shaman, even though I study or apprentice with a shaman. So what I want to share with you is practical thinking for most of us about how to weather changes happening on the planet. Keep listening.
You know, normally I would never do an episode like this on the podcast. Even though I’ve been an extremely successful investor, real estate, commodities, and different things, it’s not something that for me it’s a passion because I just enjoy. It’s like a game to me and I have fun with it. And it’s kind of like a hobby to me, even though I do play it at a level beyond where most people can play it. But this goes back to the episode where Don Juan talked, the last episode where Don Juan talked about making ourselves immune to isolating ourselves from the economic realities in the world. And in the last episode.
You’re being told that it’s a hot economy. It’s an amazing economy. One of the best economies in the world. It’s all bullshit. It’s all on paper. The stock market is significantly overinflated. Now, this is Thanksgiving week, and tomorrow I’m going to see my brother-in-law, one of them. We stay with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law outside of Boston. And for 25 years, he was a senior hedge fund manager at Fidelity. So he gives me the lowdown scoop on things from a leading, you know, a company that’s leading the industry that manages trillions of dollars. He just retired a couple of years ago, but he’s upper level management so much so that he would meet with the chairman of the board about different things. Now, the reason I say that is because he’s literally shared a lot about what Fidelity is doing with their investment strategies. Now, of course, he can’t tell me anything that’s proprietary, but he’s shared a lot about where he thinks the economies is going, what’s happening here, what’s happening there, all these kind of things.
Don Juan and Don Javier have for decades talked about air quote. I’ll keep it simple and generic. Changes coming. And What they’ve talked about is preparing ourselves mentally and financially and spiritually. I remember one day when I was sitting with Don Juan. Now, Don Juan was from Mexico. He was Mexican. And he said, there will come a day when people will fight for a hand full of beans. And he said beans because he was Mexican. Made sense to him. But think about that. One day people will fight for a handful of beans. Now, you’re listening right now, you’re probably thinking, and by the way, I am not prophesizing any kind of doomsday anything. I’m just sharing. And none of this is meant to scare you quite the opposite. Good friend of mine. He was on the podcast last year, we’re personal friends, Gary Zucoff. His last book was called Universal Human. And the whole book is about things that I have said, but I say in my ways, were cosmic beings, not human beings first. And Gary talks about the collapsing human structures, meaning the collapsing governments, the collapsing economies, and the collapsing social structures.
You look around the world, and you’re seeing that happen right now, right in front of your eyes. The U.S. economy is shaking, even though you might be told differently. The U.S. economy is in a really, really bad place. And the unfortunate thing about that is the entire world follows the U.S. economy. But the U.S. economy is getting weaker. In three years, by 2028, it’s projected that China will be the number one economy in the world. No longer the U.S. and the U.S. is held up position for what? 50 years now are 60 or 70 years. The reality is the winds of change are upon us, economically, socially, and politically. And what I want to talk about in this episode is I want to talk about how you manage yourself economically. Now, I’m not one to tell you to budget. I don’t know what you should do, okay? But I know this. If you take a step back, and by the way, what I’m going to share with you, you can find anywhere online. But what’s interesting to me is most people aren’t even aware of what I’m sharing when it’s glaringly red, meaning it’s like a bright red light you can find it anywhere online. Just read the news and look behind what you’re being told.
The truth is this. No one knows what’s going to happen tomorrow. But the U.S. economy is in a situation where it can’t pay its debt, $18 trillion. There’s no way. A sustainable debt would be about 60% of GDP. The United States is at 120% double, where we, at 60% the debt is manageable of GDP. We’re double that right now. Now, for many years, Japan has always been at something like 220% of GDP, and China is like a 330% of GDP. But the thing about China is they have a different economic structure because it’s all managed by the Central Party and not capitalist like here in the U.S.
So let’s just mention something spiritually here for a moment. So I talked about Gary Zoukov and his book The Universal Human. A lot of that corresponds to what Don Javier and Don Juan have told me for decades. It’s all the same thing, just in different rapping and a different language. And Don Javier and I were talking last month. We were driving, he and I went a little little road trip for an afternoon. And I didn’t know anything about this. And he said to me, what do you know about Atlas? One. And I’m like, what are you talking about? And he said, an ancient Hopi prophecy, a Kachina. And you don’t know what a Kachina is, K-A-C-H-I-N-A. A K-C-N-A. A K-C-T-N -A -R -P -E -N -A. A K-China prophecy is that there will be two, I don’t know if he said stars or medium or lights, but two in the sky, a red light and a blue light. And the blue light is first. Well, guess what? If you actually look up Atlas Comet, ATLAS, the Atlas Comet, the blue one, is interstellar, means it did not come from within this galaxy. It came from outside of this galaxy.
And as a cosmologist and physicist know or think, this is only the third time that an interstellar, an interstellar object has been observed in this galaxy. And I’m repeating myself because you might have heard my cat meowing. She was right next to me. She wanted out. She wants a little freedom this afternoon. But if you go to YouTube and you look up, Hopi, Prophecy, Red and Blue, Kachina. So again, Red or however you type it in, Hopi Prophecy or Red and Blue Kachina, Hopi, Don Javier is telling me that, okay, what the Hopi prophesized, you know, many, many years ago, is now coming true. And the whole crux to this, the whole foundation is that humanity is out of precipice. I’ve talked about this before from Nostradamus and Edgar Casey, which I’ll talk about in the moment, Sylvia Brown, and Baba Vinga from the 1910s. Now, all of these seers have all said the same thing, that humanity is coming to a crossroads, and that crossroads actually intersects in 2026.
So we’re I don’t the cusp of that. And in 2026, there’s going to be a divergence in humanity. And metaphorically, we’re going to be at a crossroads. And you, having free will, you metaphorically can go one way or go the other. And one way is of higher frequency and a higher evolution. And another way is, so to speak, staying on all used terms that you’ll understand. And I don’t mean that in the condescending way. It’s just a cultural term, you can literally stay in the matrix or you can leave the matrix. But that depends upon what choices that you make. I also want to point out, over the years, Don Javier has not been 100% accurate. And I’ve asked him about that. And he said, he told me, he goes, all that I can see is what I can see in this moment right now. But what I see right now is reflection of where human consciousness is. That to change tomorrow, which means what I’m seeing now, has changed. So all that I can do is tell you what I’m seeing right now.
I want to talk about managing herself, but not as much from the spiritual aspect beyond what I just talked about. There was a really good video that actually Don Javier sent it to me from YouTube. And by the way, until the appearance of Atlas, which happened, I believe back in June, He never has mentioned the Kachina prophecies. But once he was aware, and he was aware not for watching YouTube, he doesn’t, as best I know, according to my sister, doesn’t watch YouTube and all that kind of stuff, meaning to gather information or to learn about something. But he sent me the video to illustrate his point so I can understand it in a different way, is we’re coming to an awakening in humanity for some and a regression in humanity for others. But in the last episode, Don Juan talked about making yourself immune to oncoming financial potential challenges. Potential, Don Juan’s word, not mine, collapse. Don Juan used the words financial independence. And what he said in the last episode is you want to actually become independent. Now, what he didn’t say is of the systems that you are living in and working in so that you literally emphatically.
And I do mean emphatically. I’m not qualified. I am not licensed, even though I did have a series 22 and a series seven many years ago. I’m not, which doesn’t qualify me this day and age. I am not giving financial advice, not even 1%. I am not a licensed financial advisor. But, and what I am is what’s called an accredited investor. And what that means according to the SEC is that I have a certain level of money. And the SEC supposes that because I have a certain level of financial wherewithal that I had to have some kind of financial sense to be able to make that kind of money. And the reason that the SEC has a designation of an accredited investor, meaning I’m presented with other financial opportunities that other people might not see. And it’s believed by the SEC that I have enough financial wherewithal and information and knowledge to not fall for scams or stupid things.
Now, over the years, I have always watched the economies. I’ve looked at everything from GDP to CPI, consumer price index, the yield curves, and looked at the markets. You know, I’ve watched all of it, commodities and metals and stocks and oil and in global economies and everything. And again, it doesn’t mean that I know jack’s shit, okay? But I’m just sharing, maybe you might want to take this episode and just explore a little bit for yourself. So as I said, I’m giving you ideas. There are a bazillion, and I mean a bazillion financial gurus on YouTube. Now, if I ask you what the price of gold is today? Could you tell me what the price of gold is right now today on November the 24th, February 2025? Think about that. And if you don’t know, that means you don’t really have any understanding of what’s happening in the world economically. The price of gold today, earlier today, was $4,134 per ounce.
The price of gold has doubled in the last 18 months. What does that tell you? Gold is traditionally a hedge against inflation. Gold in and of itself is not an investment to make you money because it normally doesn’t expand, but what it does is it preserves wealth. And wealthy people over the decades have always actually flocked to gold to preserve their wealth in times of bad economic uncertainty. Some people you may want to follow up with that, why do you think Warren Buffett cashed out 350, I think 348 billion would they be out of stock and other investments into cash? C-A-S-H. Think about that. Because in times of economic uncertainty, you want to be in the hard assets. And the hard assets are precious metals to a large degree and real estate. Where you do not want to be unless you know what you’re doing because you can get trampled if you don’t know what you’re doing. You don’t know what you’re doing, stay out of the speculation.
But many people this day and age, they see the shiny object speculation and they go running and they get wiped out. I saw this lady. I don’t listen to him to learn. And I don’t listen to them a lot, maybe once every month. I’ll listen and I’ll watch one and one only of Dave Ramsey. By the way, my own opinion is I don’t think he’s a great financial advisor, but what do I know? I don’t follow his advice because his advice is about constriction, not expansion. But this woman in this three-minute video that I watched yesterday said that she lost almost thousand dollars and then talk a family member and to getting into an investment scheme to make money whatever she lost four hundred thousand dollars and she has no retirement she used all of her retirement money to put in that investment and she was scam the point there is be careful if you don’t know what you’re doing learn and learn and learn but the people that i follow and i listen to two in particular well i’m going to give you three okay One is he is a very, very, very respected individual, Ray Dalio, D-A-L-I-O.
Ray built the largest mutual fund in the world. My brother-in-law, when we talk about investments, he’s even talking about Ray Dalio. And if you want to learn a lot about what’s happening in the economy and where you should position yourself and where you should be, go listen to Ray Dalio. I’m not saying act on anything. You’ve got to do what you think is right for you or what resonates with you, but Ray Dalio is one. When it comes to somebody that’s recognized as a global expert in investing, Warren Buffett, I listen to a great degree, I follow Dalio and Buffett, and everything else to me is just add on information. And then I find what works for me or what doesn’t work for me. You may want to explore the precious metals. I’m not going to touch that topic more than really about that. You may want to explore precious metals and commodities and see how that might work for you as well.
But the reality is when you look at the precious metals, now if you didn’t even know what the price of gold was, how about this? How come today in November in the last probably six, nine months or a year, how come the central banks have been buying up gold and they have been hoarding gold? And in particular, China and India have dramatically increased their gold reserves. Why? Gold is $4,134 per ounce today. Why is China hoarding so much gold? Now, I could go into that in this episode. I won’t because it’s a little more complex, and I would want to make sure that I could explain it properly, but again, I’m not giving you any financial advice. So investors right now, why is gold $4,134 per ounce? As many investors are actually diversifying their portfolios with gold and silver. Even Ray Dalio is saying that you should have at least 20% of your portfolio in precious metals.
Now, another one here, a little pop quiz for you. Do you know what Bricks is? Don’t look it up. Do you know what Brick says? B-R-I-C-S. Bricks is Brazil, Russia, India, China, and what’s the S? I don’t know what the S is for. Maybe it’s not the Soviet Union because that’s Russia, but Bricks. Bricks is a consortium of countries around the world that are wanting to reduce their dependence on the U.S. dollar. Since the Bretton Woods Act of, I believe, in 1940s, everything’s been pegged against the U.S. dollar. As a matter of fact, until about two or three years ago, even if you were to buy oil, and let’s say you’re China and you wanted to buy oil, you would to convert your Uons into dollars and then buy the oil from Saudi Arabia in dollars and not yuan. Well, That agreement expired a couple of years ago, and now people are starting to buy oil and their native currencies from whatever country they might be from, or whatever country’s buying the oil.
So what Bricks is wanting to do, and this all started as a result of the sanctions in 2022, the sanctions against Russia, what Bricks is wanting to do is take the global dependence away from the U.S. dollar, which then means potentially, even though I think 56% of global transactions happen with the dollar, what that means is that there’s less dependence on the American dollar, which means it is, you guessed it, weaker. So the de-dollarization is one of the reasons gold is there $4,134 per ounce. Another is market evolution. So because gold now is responding to a broader range of global economic forecast or factors. So if you look at what’s happening in the world, and again, I can’t go deep level. I can only go high level for you in this episode. But I just want you to start thinking a little bit, okay? Start exploring things you maybe haven’t explored before.
China is trembling under a real estate death. I mean, they’re trembling to the tune of hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars of bad real estate investments as a country. China’s economy is not great, even though they’re going to exceed the size of the U.S. economy in a couple of years. So you look at China, you look at Russia, you look at different countries, and you look what’s happening. This is all changing the global landscape of the global economies, which is then literally affecting gold prices. Even China right now is trying to figure out a way to peg the yuan, because gold is currently priced in U.S. dollars, to peg the U.S. to gold, but they price it at their own price, which means you would have multiple prices for gold of different places in the world, like an exchange rate. So again, this can get very complex, but where I really want to go here is we’re just spent a period of human evolution, okay? We’re in a period of change, which happens to be affecting people economically. And the bad thing is This is not going to be over next.
The government is trying to what’s called inflate away the debt. You can look that up where they use inflation to weaken the dollar, which means they can pay the debt off with less valuable dollars. That’s a whole big topic there we’re not going to go into, but you can look it up, okay? But what we’re seeing right now is a whole big financial shitstorm. And the only reason I bring that into this podcast is because, like Don once said, make yourself immune. And the easiest way to make yourself immune is to not be. And nothing happens. And that would be great and wonderful if nothing happens. But the reality is, the U.S. has, and it’s going to sting. It’s going to sting hard and bad. The U.S. really has no way out of its debt crisis. And who knows what’s going to happen? Okay. And there are other countries, a lot of people don’t know this, countries like Russia and China that have these entire warehouses of people and programmers and people on social media on Twitter X and different social media platforms trying to create more division in the U.S. to make a weaker U.S. I mean, we literally have like cancer in the U.S. from the outside of the U.S.
I read a comment one time, a TED talk, I heard a TED talk, where this guy was like some kind of policy expert, and he said in the 1980s, the the United States was number one exporter of democracy in the world. Today, the United States is a number one exporter of the destruction of democracy in the world. Why were the number one exporter of social media to the world? And then, you know, a portion of the world is using that social media against the U.S. creating dissension within the U.S. borders. So what we created, what the U.S. created, is being used against the U.S. to eat away at the U.S. and the foundations of the democracy and the republic and the social cohesion from the outside end. So this is how I look at it. Educate yourself financially.
Oh, the third name I wanted to mention was Mark Moss, M-O-S-S. You can find them on YouTube. The guy is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to Bitcoin and investing. Very knowledgeable. And he can explain very high-level concepts in a way that’s very easy to understand. He’ll explain why the tariffs and all these different kinds of things in a way that anybody can understand it, and it might give you more clarity on what you want to do for you. So Radalio, Warren Buffett, and Mark Mals. I’m sure there are others, but these are three that I do follow and I do watch. Now, from a spiritual perspective, I’m in preparation, but I’m not in any fear. I stay in the high frequency, even though there’s an attraction to be high, and I’m going to be on your side about this, because I’ve been there before, when our personal economics are bad and we’re having money challenges, our frequencies are lower and we’re denser. And what’s happening is we’re hurting ourselves spiritually. We’re closing ourselves down spiritually, living only in the 3D.
And that’s not where we want to live, to live the most abundant and fruitful life that we can and spiritually aware life. So again, fourth time, I’m not giving you advice, just things to explore. I apologize for licking my lips a lot and smacking my lips. It’s dry here in Sedona today. My lips are really dry and I’m a bit nasely and I apologize for that. But I wanted to give you food for thought based upon the last episode of Don Juan. Let’s see what we can do to help to become immune to what’s happening economically in the world. Thanks for listening, and I’ll catch you over on the next episode. Bye-bye.
