I have been writing since Friday to get out a guide to you all on everything going on in catalysts that are coming up over the next week. I hope you all have been safe, there are major developments all of a sudden happening everywhere and all at once in the market. I am trying my best to at least hit each potential catalyst, as well as some markets to keep in mind.
Stick with the Wiz Charts Chat where I am providing daily commentary for you all on markets and what I am seeing in options flow.

Reflection
I had a frog fall on my head while I was meditating this weekend. It was odd.
I think if you’ve read my stuff for a while, you know that I can be quite spiritual. I believe in it. I believe that there is more to this world.
I have had only a few very odd spiritual experiences, and I can say what happened to me was beyond bizarre.
We don’t live in an area where I see many frogs, but a baby green frog fell on my head as I was sitting, meditating. I was meditating asking for prosperity and wealth. I was contemplating that all things happen in God’s time, and that there is no need to worry as to when things will happen because it will always come about by his design.
I think we are entering in to a new spiritual age, and I can’t really back that up by anything in science, but I can feel it. I can feel a different energy when I meditate. To say a frog dropping on my head as if it fell from the ceiling with no real explanation as to how it could have was not some sort of sign, I don’t know what is.
But I do believe that we have been engaged in a spiritual war and that the last 5, 10, 15, 30 years humanity’s soul has been tested. The last 5 years if you were to believe the enemy was making a strong push to beat us down, in retrospect I could see it. But I can feel a new light emerging.
Reflecting back to some of my writings from the summer, I can even see some of the influence starting to grow and I was perhaps not even conscious of it at the time. I called for a return to God, and that perhaps our society needed more spiritualism in it. That man cannot live on the materialism of this world alone. I asked that you pray for me and that I continue to pray for you too.
I believe we have been in an age of despair and that our light is returning. That the time for despair is over, and we are nearing a new golden age. I have always tried to be deeply spiritually connected and to let the Universe/God/whatever speak through me in both word and deed. I have always repeated and given myself up in my meditations to my higher power and to use me as an instrument of their plan, because I do not wish for so many good people to suffer. I fall short often, and I don’t want this writing to be some biblical cliche. But genuinely, I can feel some lighter presence that I have not felt in a very long time.
I think a lot of human sorrow is coming to an end, that the corruption and terrible deeds are on their last legs. The tide is turning and that their is a new age of prosperity for us coming.
I often think of the Lord of the Rings lore of them at Helmsdeep. Aragorn and King Theoden sit in the last stronghold of the castle. The enemy has completely overrun them. There seems to be no hope, yet with Aragorn courage, he suggests to ride out and meet them. To not go out quietly into that good night. That if they are the last gasp of good in this world, they will meet the enemy head on.
“Forth Eorlingas” King Theoden yells as their horn blows for one last time. They charge out in the sea of evil that has met them, and they break through. But only find themselves now in a sea of the enemy surrounding them. In that moment, the sun rises over the mountains and upon a hill sits Gandalf with the cavalry reinforcements.
“The King stands alone,” “He is not alone” and they charge down that hill with the light surging to blinding levels upon the enemy before they are vanquished.
I think that there are a couple things to point out in what I consider to be one of the most important parts of the trilogy for our own hope and battles in life.
When the darkness surrounds you, you must charge harder to beat it back. You will be surprised just by yourself how powerful you are, just like how Theoden was able with his few men make such a large dent into the enemy.
If you are an instrument of good, your good is always stronger than whatever darkness there is.
If you ride out to meet the darkness, hope and light will always come to reinforce you
We cannot do it alone. If Gandalf and the light represent divine intervention, we too need the Universe/God’s grace to come to our aid to provide the strength to fully beat back the enemy.
I grew up studying under Jesuits as a Catholic. There is a small piece of their lore that they teach us. Our Founder was St. Ignatius of Loyola, and he personally believed that this world was an illusion for actually a spiritual battleground that is constantly ongoing. That the enemy (Lucifer and Fallen Angels) are constantly attacking humanity and they try to make it seem as subtle and obscure as possible. They will woo in secret cabals that will implement evil. They will try anything and everything.
St. Ignatius actually wrote a book called “The Spiritual Exercises” that describes the spirit war that is constantly ongoing. There have been times that I have been skeptical, but as more and more has been revealed like trafficking rings or the systematic blackmailing of people in power, it is hard to deny that this reality could very well be a spiritual test for all of us.
I think that the Catholic Church has made many mistakes, some unforgivable. I think that most world religions have been corrupted. Is that by design? To destroy our faith in the idea of a spirit? To muddy us so far down that we forget? There is no conflict between faith and reason. They both need each other to operate in this mysterious world we find ourselves in.
But it is likely our despair has come from too much scientific materialism, and we need a period of rebalancing the scales and reforming our institutions. Purging them with good people who can bring forth light and repair our relationship with the spirit.
I believe that a new age is beginning, and I can feel it deeply even now as I write. Something magnificent is upon us, and we will be arisen from the fog that has laid over us.
