It is obvious that economic chaos is upon us. In what form it will manifest is difficult to ascertain. It could arrive in the form of hyperinflation, or a deflationary collapse or maybe a slow torturous decline. An unknown event could trigger it. Regardless you can protect yourself financially—and more importantly, you can supply you and your family personal protection.

Step 1 – Protection from Altruism

Altruism is the philosophy of selflessness and self-sacrifice. Altruists claim that it is a loving and giving philosophy—but this is nothing but an illusion. It is actually a cannibalistic philosophy of hate and plunder. The philosophy of altruism is the philosophy of anti-life.

The media acts as if altruism is the solution to all our problems—even while they are reporting stories of crime and economic crisis. You would think they would see the connection. Social altruism destroys both the ones forced to supply the help and the ones who were "helped." The plundered ones suffer diminished productive power—the ones "helped" become more dependent on the booty.

If you want to live as a happy, free individual you must reject the philosophy of social altruism. It is detrimental to your loved ones, your pocketbook and your personal liberty and freedom.

You may be asking "Well what about voluntarily helping others? Shouldn't one our goals be to help the less fortunate? How about helping family members or close friends?"

Helping others on a personal level isn't as cut and dried as some may think. When helping friends or loved ones it is possible for your heart to take over—sending your head on an extended vacation. With good intentions you move forward with the help of your time and money—often to your detriment. Unfortunately the person you "helped" ends up considerably worse off. They fail to help themselves—they become much weaker individuals—losing their initiative and self-reliance. And you are also much worse off—your time and money have vanished—you received nothing in return—not even the satisfaction of performing a good deed.

I believe in helping others. Doing small favors for others is pleasurable. You feel good and they feel good. However when you perform big favors for others such as giving extended help, make sure that it actually benefits everyone involved—or your help could not only be self-destructive but it could also destroy the one you attempted to help.

Step 2 – Protection from Irrational Selfishness

Just as you must shun the anti-life philosophy of altruism—you must rid all irrational selfishness from life. It is also critical that you avoid the company of the irrationally selfish whenever possible.

Irrationally selfish people indulge in self-destructive behavior. Hanging around these kinds of individuals could very well result in you adopting their ways of acting. These types of people sacrifice long-term benefits for immediate gratification. They over-eat, shun exercise, drink too much, indulge in dangerous drugs, spend most of their money on unnecessary consumption items, etc. They also indulge in the negative emotions of anger, hate, jealousy, envy and guilt. They have low self-esteem and self-worth because their lives are out of control. Are these the people you want to associate with?

Can you afford to indulge in irrational selfishness during the chaos of economic disaster? I think it is obvious that the answer is a resounding NO. Indulging in irrational behavior will only cause you misery—and eventually accelerate your demise.

I expect you to live a life of joy and ecstasy. It is your perfect right to enjoy Libertarian Pleasures. The irrationally selfish individual has neither joy nor ecstasy in his life—and his enjoyment of Libertarian Pleasures is greatly diminished.

Step 3 – Protect Yourself by Practicing Rational Selfishness

The rationally selfish person shuns the social philosophy of altruism because he knows it has catastrophic consequences for everyone—even the purveyors of this anti-life nonsense. He would never purposely indulge in irrationally selfish behavior. He is in control of his thoughts, feelings and actions. He understands all causes have effects— and he makes sure he understands cause and effect relationships. He may error in his judgment but he has the ability to adjust his thinking and actions—to achieve his goals and desires.

An individual who practices rational selfishness realizes he is a being who possesses power. He (she) is an individualist. He is totally responsible for his thoughts, feelings and actions. He lives the life of the rationally selfish individual—and he confidently accomplishes his goals and desires. He acts according to what he values—and he wouldn't consider accepting the second-hand values of others. He has complete confidence in the efficacy of his mind and he takes purposive action. Can you imagine an individual of this caliber lamenting about the fact he doesn't know where his thoughts come from or why he acts on them in self-destructive ways?

Do you passionately desire the life of the rationally selfish individual—or do you prefer to just give up and to drift as a leaf at the mercy of the wind—even allowing a gentle breeze to carry you away to pain, suffering and despair. You make the choice—and you really have only one logical choice—to live the life of the rationally selfish individual.

Step 4 – Unhampered Capitalism – The Only Social System that Can Protect You from Economic Chaos

The rationally selfish individual supports the social system of unhampered capitalism. He knows that this is the only system based on logic, reason and sound economic principles. Since he or she is basically a benevolent individual—he or she desires value for value relationships that benefit all.

He would never support the predatory systems of socialism and government interventionism because he realizes that these systems extort value from the productive in order to give unearned benefits to the unproductive. He considers all government intervention in the economy as theft. He believes that the government's only legitimate function is to protect an individual's life, liberty and property. Some believe we can completely dispense with governments. Others hope and believe that someday the human race will evolve to the point where the "state" withers away.

If you are painfully aware that all government intervention on the marketplace is counter-productive and downright destructive. If you have decided that altruism and irrational selfishness is not in your best interest. And if you realize the rationally selfish life is the one for you—then you have no choice but to support the only system that is rational and logical—unhampered capitalism.

Step 5 – Protect Yourself by Experiencing The Joy of Your Existence Through Positive Thoughts and Actions

I guarantee that the coming economic chaos will bring out the worst in many people. Jealousy, envy, anger, hate, revenge, covetousness and despair will be plentiful. The misery index soars to the stratosphere. You certainly don't want to be among the members of this crowd. If you desire the life of the rationally selfish—you must have control over your thoughts, feelings and emotions. You act as a rationally selfish individual acts.

How do you feel when you awake in the morning? Do you experience positive thoughts and emotions? Are you energetic—ready to take on the challenges life presents you? Do you have desires, plans and goals that fire up your enthusiasm? Are you charged and committed to taking purposeful action to accomplish what it is you desire? Do you experience the joy of your existence throughout the day? Do you have some Libertarian Pleasures to look forward to?

If you answered yes to the above questions then you are in control of your thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions. You generate positive energy and attract the things and circumstances you need to succeed. Life is a wondrous adventure. You experience pleasure and ecstasy whether the economy is experiencing good times or bad times.

Yes! It is possible to experience the joy of your existence—no matter what is happening around you. Obviously the better control you have over your thoughts, feelings and emotions—and the more effective you are at taking purposive action—the less likely negative events will surround you. Generating positive energy attracts positive people and events. Like attracts like. Generating negative energy—tragically attracts negative people and unfortunate circumstances.

The rationally selfish individual understands that his mind is his most powerful weapon in overcoming blocks, obstacles and challenges. He wouldn't dream of weakening it by indulging in irrationally selfish actions. And he definitely wouldn't pollute it with the anti-life philosophy of altruism. Through rational self-interest and positive thoughts and actions—he experiences the joy of his existence.

Step 6 – Discover and Practice Higher Awareness – Universal Protection

You believe that you are a rational individual who has control over his thoughts, feelings and emotions. You take effective actions to achieve your goals. Yet, you don't appear to be moving closer to what it is you so much desire. You are frustrated and at your wits end. And you wonder how you are going to survive the coming economic chaos. You even consider giving in to irrationally selfish behaviors.

I certainly understand the appeal of irrationally selfish behavior. I have indulged in it myself. Sometimes I went the whole route and added a touch of altruism to the equation. I don't think I have to go into all the gory details about the results I achieved from this type of behavior. All I can say is that I paid a heavy price for my unfortunate actions—I am still paying the piper. Fortunately out of my despair I rediscovered a gift—a gift of inestimable value.

As always, I returned to being a rationally selfish individual. Then I ventured farther along on the path and once again discovered the joys of the spiritual realm. I soared to a higher awareness.

I believe in becoming spiritually connected to all there is. I call this a universal connection. I'm not really in a position to tell you how to discover this or what it will mean to you. However I can reveal the best method for obtaining this higher state of awareness—a higher state of awareness that allows you to completely overcome obstacles, blocks and challenges. It is meditation. There are also other spiritual practices such as Yoga, Tae Kwon Do, Karate, etc. that are effective in helping you connect to the spiritual realm.

Spiritual practices guarantee that you reason more effectively and tap your intuitive powers. When you are connected with all there is—you experience the joy of your existence—to the max. You protect yourself from the delusions of the masses.

Conclusion

All 6 steps supply you with a complete protection packet—a protection packet that shields you from many of the detrimental effects of the coming economic chaos. You will personally succeed under any economic conditions.
