According to international teacher, speaker and author Jim Self, what once seemed unthinkable is now a looming reality—America's star is rapidly waning, the world's global power structure is tilting to the East, China is no longer buying US debt, and the future of oil, gold, and petro dollars is becoming more and more uncertain. If that fills you with anxiety or panic, be aware that, actually, all is very much in order. For the long-awaited "shift of the ages" is now well and truly in progress, and while its erosion of every facet of life that we used to believe in and rely on is unnerving for many, the truth is that the only foundations that are shaking, are those that have become so unbalanced as to be completely out of kilter with where we are heading.
