Question: Our car insurance premiums went up by quite a bit. Not because we have received tickets for exceeding speed limits or because we have been in collisions. The premiums rose due to costs incurred by the insurance company secondary to the economy. They company sites increases in vehicle repair costs and hospital costs as two central reasons. This company originally charged fees annually, but now the fees will be charged every six months so they are better able to ‘respond’ to the changing economic climate.

The way our economy seems to be moving (like a runaway horse sometimes), it seems inevitable that we will collapse of our own economic weight. What do you have to say to us about this?

Higg(in)s: While economics may seem out of control, inflation is a symptom of an entirely different issue. In fact, the rising costs of health care, the crime rate, and the barrage of immigrants at the border are symptoms of other problems.

Rather than go into the long, long story of how you all got into this situation, let’s just give you a solution for solving these symptoms.

Every day we would have you find things to appreciate about the world you live in. For example, start with driving. Appreciate moving safely and smoothly from place to place. The more consistent you are about this, the safer you will be, and the more smoothly traffic will flow. The more of you doing this the better things will get. More of you moving about safely and smoothly means less drain on the auto insurance industry, as well as upon police, emergency response, and the many departments involved in transportation, road maintenance, etc..

Appreciate the parts of you that work well. Appreciate good health when you have it. By doing this consistently over time your health will improve. If all of you do this, you will have less and less need for the health care system to intervene.

Appreciate safety. There are 86,400 seconds in a day. Most of you have safety 86,400 times a day. Notice how often you are safe.

About immigrants. Few of you started here. Meaning, very few of you are native to the United States. Even among those considered Native Americans, many immigrated here, even if that immigration occurred long ago. Very few arose as a people here. Worldwide, immigration happens. Immigration is not the problem. Movement of peoples is normal. To solve this issue, we suggest finding something to appreciate about yourself, your immediate neighbors, your community, your state, your nation, your globe. And of course, we encourage you to appreciate order.

If only one of you will shift your attention and begin to direct a positive flow of thought towards these things on a regular basis, your own life will improve and flow more easily. If thousands of you shift your thought from negativity about these subjects to positivity about the same subjects you will see a substantial positive re-direction of the flow of your financial resources, your health and healthcare will improve, and crime will decrease. With regards to the influx of immigrants, you will see that slow and simultaneously become more orderly.

Positive appreciation is an extremely powerful tool. We encourage the mastery of it.
