For weeks, and maybe it has been months, I have been following presentations online about coinology – collection coins, specifically US pennies – and its many different levels and applications, including spiritual – and yes, it is a form of Bardo Training.

I have not searched much recently – but I did search 5000 pennies for someone a couple of years ago and started on my own bankers box then – and I am itching to pick it up again …why?

… because it is fun, because it makes sense, because it trains attention – because I want to find that 1970 s small date too 🙂 – but that is not really hitting it …

It is a feeling – I can feel an inner-central excitement – a tremble, a quivering. I keep thinking that my dad would have done this – E.J. Gold makes coin collecting so incredibly accessible and gives it a meaning that is way beyond “just” coin collecting. It is not really coin collecting at all – but it LOOKS like it. It has such widely ranging attributes and areas of application and relevance – be it community building, placing time capsules, discovering the pennies as souls, finding mint errors that are valuable, completing a collection for your grand-kids, delighting in the sheer beauty of the coins, time travel through psychometric readings, giving little “special date” gift coins in cute and handy slabs, training attention in a particular way, the treasure hunting aspect, magic finding, the joy of learning something new – with a whole bunch of people who are now not only on this path but all collecting coins ….& more.

As a kid I paid attention to pocket change enough to have a small collection of unusual looking coins -maybe that means there is a natural tendency to doing something like this, mean to say: maybe I am just predisposed to respond to this?

IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE – and I keep thinking and saying: my dad would have done this with us. ..  so maybe that is why the “love” – because it stirs something else – including the memory of a being that was deeply kind and responsible and did the best he could to teach us kids? He did give us  stamp albums to collect stamps and sometimes brought some home from when he traveled. … again, I have a few that are quite old now …. if only I knew where they are … somewhere in Germany?

The way E.J Gold presents coinology makes it so incredibly accessible for anyone to start doing. Ideal not just for a dad and his kids 🙂

But still it does not really explain why I want to get back into it – be part of this journey ….. it feels important, it feels right. It looked like so much fun when I saw folks doing it together at the coinology workshop at Thanksgiving.

Speaking about dads and kids, this report will warm your heart. This is my all time favorite report & I think you’ll love it too.

As I continue to post on the PP & Coinology Forums, I’ll continue to talk about my youngest son, Alex. He’s 7 and I really believe this little boy is a Junior Coinologist. He doesn’t miss a beat with information and he thinks around corners with it (He even asked me to ask E.J. if he could send us a 44 Steel Wheat!!!). This kid has Magic Find which far surpasses my own. He asked if he could “crack a roll” (I had just acquired a few rolls of pennies from the grocery store). “Sure,” I say-and within a few minutes he comes running back: “Dad! I found a Wheat that’s Bright and Shiny…or at least RED!!!” Sure enough, he hands me the brightest Wheat I’ve seen to date! (and what 7 year old in this town knows that certain Pennies are graded as “RED?”)

Last night (during his BATH) we talked about how making a SUIT of Prosperity Amulets would result in one being able to “crack a roll” and find 50 Bright and Shiny Wheats!

TONIGHT, he announced that a Prosperity Amulet alone just sits there. But when a Human puts it on, it forms a Force Field around the Body of Protection and Luck.

“If a Tree falls in the Forest…” (“If a Crystal picks up Transplutonian FM…”)

This kid is sharp and I love him. I am also blessed to have him as my Traveling Companion on this Path.

Alchemy has historically been the Transmutation of Lead into Gold. For some this was quite literal and for others it has been a Metaphor for Metaphysical Work. But the bottom line is taking some Base Material and, via a Process, bringing into the Highest Value. Leave it to E.J. to focus on the American Penny (a unit of currency which-in our present economy-is almost worthless) and to turn it into one of the most Profound of Magical Machines.

I hope we’ll eventually sell some of our finds and have a “YAHOO!” to share. But for the time being, I feel so grateful to have been introduced to this spiritual path, a path full of learning and fun which I can share with my son!

I anticipate that I’ll be sharing more “Anecdotes and Aphorisms from Alexander!” I hope you all find them fun and worth a smile. I have a Vision that the two of us will become the “Lone Wolf & Cub” of Coinology!

H2U All-!

And I think coins make great stocking stuffers and x-mas ornaments

And now for another aspect of coinology: (found this feedback on coinology.org)

“Hello, Thought I’d share an impression from this afternoon’s coin sorting.

It went something like this:

After lighting candles and incense, putting the music player on random, and cleaning up in and around the coin table/alter, I sat down to continue my opening rituals, which is simply opening the blue velvet Norton Street pennies and placing my magic find ring on my finger. As I slipped the ring on my finger, a mood descended. I felt a tiny bit priestly. I don’t like to categorize moods, but that phrase will have to suffice.

More importantly, I saw the penny sorting from a new perspective. The rolls of coins passing across my table and through my attention were being radiated. This was their contact with a higher purpose. Previously, I perceived the sorting/searching as part of my process, my learning…in this moment, I saw the sorting/searching for the benefit of the coins.

There’s more, but I’ll save it rather than contain it with words.”

Just because it is the season, I’ll end this post with this:
