The expression of spirit that is BEYOND IMAGINATION, has been brought forth into the world for over four years now. During this time, over 6000 hours of my personal time has been invested in expressing what spirit would express through me and making the works available on the WWW to all who were interested. To date, this has been in addition to paid work that I do to earn my living.

Recently, it occurred to me that in many ways, this work is the real service that I provide to society. In a very real way, this is my job ... my occupation ... my profession. The value of what I choose to do freely far surpasses the value of work that I am paid to do. Something is very wrong in this. At present, I work for a non-profit organization that provides engineering services to the Air Force. The cost to the taxpayers for my labor including overhead, comes to over $100 per hour for 2000 hours per year. This sets the "minimum rate" that is fair for my services. In my Beyond Imagination work, I use far more of my natural talents on issues and tasks that ultimately have far greater benefit to far more people ... perhaps to the entire world.

I desire to start making my Beyond Imagination work my means of earning a livelihood. In doing so, I personally can live on $54 per hour (or $108,000 per year for 2000 plus hours), a number that I was moved to set for myself over a year ago when I was about to be unemployed. This is half the amount that the taxpayers of the United States pay for my services right now.

[July 2003]:  With benefits, I'm making this now, but with six years of inflation, I need more than this.  Further, I need additional funds to source the work that Beyond Imagination is to do.  $250,000 for 3000 hours would be more acceptable.  That is about how many hours I put into work each year.

[October 2003]:  I've been moved to set a $1 per word price as a reasonable compensation for this expression.  It will be interesting to see what manifests as a result.  With as many words as I generate, this would provide a comfortable income and be sufficient to fund some of the endeavors that Beyond Imagination is trying to accomplish.

Last week, I was moved to start packaging the Beyond Imagination material into "products". Each product is a book that represents an amount of work that was required to create it. The price for each product is determined by the following formula:

Reproduction cost plus # of hours to create the material times 10 cents/hour.

[July 2003]  We've re-packaged the products into real books and priced them far more reasonably.  We should have six books out by early Fall and eight by the end of the year.  The anticipated prices for books are $19.95 to $34.95 depending on the size of the book.  For the most part, the price is little more than the reproduction costs were going to be.  The publisher is even offering a 40% discount if you buy five or more books.

[October 2003]  We have five books published to date [2 Oct 03].  Two more should be out within a couple of weeks.  The final one should be officially published in early to mid-December.

[November 2003]  We now have all eight books planned for 2003 published [10 Nov 03], over a month earlier than expected.

My preference is to have a smaller portion of the population consciously choose that the work that I do is worth 10 cents per hour to them personally.

Note: At present, less than 100 people have access to the work that I am paid to do. The money is funneled from taxes via Congress to the Presidents budget, to the Department of Defense, to the Air Force, to a specific line item in the Air Force budget, to a contract with The Aerospace Corp, of which a portion shows up in my weekly paycheck.

This simple metaphysical principle is sufficient to transform the world in a heartbeat, if only people would abide by it.
