Astrological Answers by Albert Clayton Gaulden

Yesterday on Levine Breaking News this came over the wire to my amazement. Here is a successful US hedge fund trader who is admitting that others in his industry are over-privileged “idiots”.

SO LONG, SUCKERS. MILLIONAIRE HEDGE FUND BOSS THANKS 'IDIOT' TRADERS AND RETIRES AT 37: The boss of a successful US hedge fund has quit the industry with an extraordinary farewell letter dismissing his rivals as over-privileged "idiots" and thanking "stupid" traders for making him rich. Andrew Lahde's $80m Los Angeles-based firm Lahde Capital Management in Los Angeles made a huge return last year by betting against sub-prime mortgages. Yesterday the 37-year-old told his clients that he had hated the business and had only been in it for the money. And after declaring he would no longer manage money for other people, because he had enough of his own, Lahde said that instead he intended to repair his stress-damaged health; he made it clear he would not miss the financial world. "The low-hanging fruit, i.e., idiots whose parents paid for prep school, Yale and then the Harvard MBA, was there for the taking," he wrote. "These people who were (often) truly not worthy of the education they received (or supposedly received) rose to the top of companies such as AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers and all levels of our government," he said.

What amazes me is that the US Government has appointed the likes of Henry Paulson and others to oversee the restoration of the very system that they caused to collapse. Not only was he required to sell his half-billion dollars in Goldman stock near the high, but also, as Treasury Secretary, he was exempt from capital-gains taxes. Richard Fuld, the disgraced head of Lehman Brothers, will keep millions of dollars whereas their investors will lose their life savings. Where is the justice in this? Why is our own government turning to the very men who made the greatest mess of our financial system in modern times? More and more sane, balanced and sensible men and women are beginning to whisper that word that they never would have in the past: conspiracy.

For my money there seems to be the possibility of a revolution in this country. It’s the ‘Nero fiddled while Rome burned’ kind of reign of terror gestating. And while the “I’m not going to take it anymore’ crowd rattle their sabers and threaten to take to the streets, why don’t we get rid of Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbaugh by turning them off—silencing them by denying them an audience—and indict Karl Rove, Ed Rollins, Roger Ailes and the whole kit and caboodle in the current Bush Administration.

Oprah, if you want to have a show about one honest man left in the financial markets, bring Andrew Lahde to “O” and let him tell the truth—the whole truth and nothing but the truth about where and when the collapse of the global financial markets started and let him offer a few suggestions about how to stabilize and become a system of integrity and trust.

Listen to Margaret Wendt and Albert on Spiritual Truths as they discuss this and other provocative and spiritually correct, but politically-incorrect subjects of interest to you and to your family and friends.

He is AUTHOR OF Clearing for the Millennium, �Signs and Wonders-Understanding the language of God and You're Not Who You Think You Are-A Breakthrough Guide to Discover your Authentic Self will be published by Atria Books, a division of Simon & Schuster in December of this year.

A member of the National Association of Transpersonal Psychology and the American Federation of Astrologers, Gaulden founded the Sedona Intensive, a personal growth and empowerment program, to help clients retrieve their authentic selves and tap into their inner power.

Gaulden coined the term astroanalysis-a combination of Jungian psychology and astrology-to describe how he helps free clients from compulsions, addictions, and unresolved issues, which keep them from living a life of peace and joy.

Albert saw things others didn't and heard what they couldn't from the age of two. When he was five he asked his mother why she seemed more like his dad and his dad more like the mother. As a pre-schooler he was tuned into the rich world of intuition and past lives even though he had no one to shepherd him through these recollections and recalls. At Birmingham-Southern he click connected with the unique psychological work and world of Swiss psychoanalyst, Dr. Carl Jung and his take on the shadow self. Gaulden believes that all-seeing and all-knowing is born within a child and it is the false and mundane world that erases his memory of what is really true. The integration of the divided self, putting one back together through a conscious fusion with his or her shadow is the underpinning of his work in the Sedona Intensive.

Albert studied with renowned astrology Byrd Knapp, Darrell Harris and Katharine de Jersey, as well as took Awareness Classes with Lee Jones at the Spiritualist Church in Los Angeles in the 70's, and attended the Corrado Academy of Perception in 1978 which led to his meeting actor John Travolta using the tools of manifestation learned at the Academy, and selling John El Adobe de Tajiguas, a 35-acre estate that abutted Ronald Reagan's ranch near Gaviota Beach in Southern California.

Gaulden worked in 1986 with international-best selling author of The Celestine Prophecy, James Redfield in Albert's innovative and one-of-a-kind personal empowerment program, the Sedona Intensive, which he founded in 1982. Albert was hired to use his gifts as an astro-intuitive to help cast Redfield's movie of The Celestine Prophecy.

Gaulden travels the world to teach and speak and finds Egypt particularly one of the most intriguing countries in the world. In December he will be returning with a tour group of clients and friends to the Land of the Nile and Pharaohs and the Great Pyramid of Cheops, the Sphinx and other ancient digs and monuments in Upper and Lower Egypt.

His clients include sports figures, actors, royalty, Wall Street executives, men and women and young people from all walks of life who are eager to face those defects of character that keep them from being who they really are. He rigorously maintains the anonymity of his clients.

Additionally, Gaulden is a motivational speaker on such popular themes as "Mr. Right is Usually Mr. Wrong-Falling in Love With Make-Believe", "Take Your Power Back", "The Power of a Great Idea", the Death of Terror and the Rebirth of Bliss, �"Why Relationships Don't Work but How They Can" and many other provocative topics.
