These are the words used by Tracy R Twyman in her blog post (http://www.quintessentialpublications.com/tracyrtwyman/?p=555) of May 8, 2009. She has some ideas about restoring the American economy:
"In my opinion, the only way to bolster our money would be to bring it back into a relationship with gold. Just a little bit of gold backing could go a long way. Once again, I come back to the metaphor of alchemy. According to many of the alchemists of the past, a tiny “mustard seed” of real gold is used, which is multiplied through the alchemical process, like Christ multiplying the loaves and fishes. As Masonic scholar Albert Pike wrote on the topic of alchemy in his book Morals and Dogma:
…to make gold, we must first have gold. Nothing is made out of nothing; we do not absolutely create wealth; we increase and multiply it.
I believe that with a tiny mustard seed of gold backing, we could begin to stabilize the value of our money. That is the FIRST STEP of any economic recovery. Then we can look into further reform of monetary policy and banking regulations, and also work towards bringing back our manufacturing base. But before we even bother trying to “create or save” jobs, we have to make sure that money those workers are paid is actually worth something."
