In 2002 I purchased 1008 shares of gold mining stock in Tanzania (and other places long forgotten) along with what was then worth about 20,000 dollars in physical gold. This was on the advice of a then fellow Sai baba devotee. The CEO of the Tanzanian stock company along with at the time Issac Tigrit of the House of Rock had both had interviews with Sai. Those details are to show just how my mind was influenced by the lure of wealth celebrity. And no doubt still is in parts more carefully hidden from the rest of me. Bow. Bow. Bow.
A couple weeks ago I finally sold what was left of the Tanzanian stock (about $1800, the rest including the physical gold is long gone) and yesterday I directed etrade to direct deposit the check in my soon to close Wells Fargo account….where I will transfer it shortly to my new account at Umpqua bank.
I’m free of that “investment.” That particular contribution of mine toward degrading Mother Earth is now complete. This little bit of self is no longer caught up in that particular web. She is liberated and now prays that those 1800 so called dollars find their way to an endeavor that nurtures and protects this gorgeous little blue dot in existing in space where we are living together.
