on a first name basis, and introductions from someone known before a stranger is allowed into the midst. This
ploy, claiming membership one does not possess, is not tried often as it is invariably counterproductive.
Those with name recognition have more power than those without, as others are afraid of offending them for fear
of the incident becoming widely known. Thus hotel accommodations or fast and often free service is provided as
everyone suspects the cameras may be running in some manner. Scams where the power hungry assume the
name of someone well known are usually short running, though all humans can have look-alikes and some of the
famous have many. A certain dress, a little make-up, practice the voice and posture, and voile, one can walk
about and pick up the perks at a party or convention. The counterfeit personage, emboldened by success, tends to
use this routine more and more often and linger, thus eventually getting caught and dealing with a lot of disgust
and venom thrown their way, outweighing any benefits gained.
However, the easiest status symbol to attain, and the one most often used by the power hungry, is a title after the
name. Doctor, Judge, CPA, Representative, Director, Manager, Esquire, President, Captain, General - how often
are the titles verified as genuine? Almost never, unless the personage is applying for a job and even then this
type of checking is seldom done if the personage has the proper demeanor. Thus, the power hungry can assume
a title and get away with it in the main, winning deference and rapt attention at a minimum, entry where the
doors were formerly locked, an audience where the message was formerly dismissed, and as any good salesman
knows, getting the foot in the door is half the battle! They are home.
Thus, when one finds status symbols in the form of titles after a stranger's name, particularly nebulous titles, one
should not instantly assume they are dealing with a person who has

ZetaTalk: Get Rich Quick
Mail this Pageto a Friend.
Money may not buy love but it certainly covers a lot of fronts - good nutrition, housing, the ability to travel, hand
servants, sexual gratification, life in a good climate, and a good view from the top of a hill. More significantly, money is a way
vision to be attained, and make the difference between embarking on a visionary path or languishing. It is not
surprising, then, that get-rich- quick schemes are popular and make a lot of money for their promoters, who are
themselves trying to get rich.
In dealing with these assertions, that the secret is this or that, one should bear in mind that if it were
knowledge? These schemes generally include a lot of self confidence builders, which in and of themselves are
calculated to make a difference in the lives of those who buy the packaged scheme. The shy man who stood by while
others took credit for his ideas becomes assertive and now gets credit, and attributes his improved standard of living to the get-rich-quick scheme. The steady saver, who clings to solid and sure bonds and savings accounts, takes more risky
investments and, until they lose big as well as win big, thinks their life transformed.
To the extent that the packaged scheme gives solid advice and encourages the shy and constrained to live life more
fully, these schemes do no harm. Where they take money from those who are poverty stricken on false promises, they
are only making the promoters rich.

ZetaTalk: Politics
Mail this Pageto a Friend.
Those who go into politics, like those who go into upper management, want to be able to wheel and deal, to be able to
have cards that they can play, and are anxious to come out on the top of the pile. They are not concerned, no matter
what they say, about the average citizen because the average citizen cannot give them backing. This has always been
the case throughout human history, and is a heavy factor in all 3rd Density cultures. Politics is a way of disguising the lust for power over others. When one says politics, they hope this lust will not be noticed, and some other motive,
such as the general welfare or leadership in troubled times, will be assumed. Few are so misled. Nevertheless,
politicians are not deflated when exposed, nor put off by the frank disgust of those they purport to serve. Those who
wish to be on top will use sales techniques, bribery, a loud mouth, wheeling and dealing and making partnerships or
whatever it takes.
Early leadership goes to those of a massive or powerful build. There is no mystique here, as the caveman image of a
massive giant with a club says all. In a confrontation between tribes, the giants with their clubs rumbled forward, and
whomever survived the bludgeoning wins. Not much has changed. Politicians in the main are men, large and
