&#8220;Remember, if it can&#8217;t be found, it can&#8217;t be stolen!&#8221;<br />
Your Portable Wealth Specialists.</p>
<p>* Caution: Storing high value items is a skill &amp; there are many options.<br />
Do your own research &amp; choose a combination of methods that feel right for you<br />
&amp; fit your personal life style.</p>
<p>** May you be Blessed &amp; Protected ALL of your days. The Portable Wealth Team.</p>
<p>Ten places to STORE or HIDE jewelry that will REDUCE RISK of theft:</p>
<p>1. A major bank safety deposit box. (Be aware of banking rules &amp; Govt. Rules)</p>
<p>2. High Security Safe UL-TRTL 30&#215;6 rated.</p>
<p>3. Hidden room or False Wall in your home or office.</p>
<p>4. A well installed &amp; hidden Floor Safe UL rated.</p>
<p>5. Electrical outlet/Phone Jack (Fake) (Be careful of repair workers discovering it.)</p>
<p>6. Stored in an offsite UL rated safe in a UL rated alarmed office.</p>
<p>7. Underground alarmed safe somewhere on your premises or trusted ally.</p>
<p>8. In furniture, with secret compartment built in. (Be careful of in-house workers)</p>
<p>9. Air Vent secret compartment (Be careful of repair workers discovering it.)</p>
<p>10. A secured &amp; trusted depository.<br />
* See some stock photos below</p>
<p>Ten places to Hide or Store jewelry that could INCREASE RISK of theft:</p>
<p>1. Master Bathroom: In a fancy jewelry box in or on the vanity. The thief will appreciate that you organized all of your jewels for him/her to steal.</p>
<p>2. Master Closet: Thieves are not fooled by anyone hiding jewelry in jackets &amp; shoes. An experienced thief will know where to look.</p>
<p>3. Clothing pockets in a closet: (You may end up taking it to a drycleaner by mistake.) &#8220;They will never find my rings, I stuffed them in tissues &amp; hid them in my clothes&#8221;&#8230;. (BOY was I wrong&#8230;&#8230;..)</p>
<p>4. Store bought hiding cans: This may fool the thief but, the housekeeper or friendly mother-in-law may throw it out along with your $100k diamond ring.</p>
<p>5. Pharmaceutical Containers: in the bathroom vanity. Easily found by a thief with a headache or thrown out by a housekeeper.</p>
<p>6. Small portable fire safe (Example: the kind Staples sells): Thieves could get tipped off by a housekeeper or a repairman &amp; come and take the whole safe out of your home.</p>
<p>7. Wall safe behind a picture: It could be great, unless someone has access to the room, discovered it, and tipped off a thief, which could possibly lead to a thief cutting it right out of the wall and taking the whole safe with them. (Great decoy safe)</p>
<p>8. Inside of an electronic item: Problem: Someone may steal it, such as a TV or computer.</p>
<p>9. Mixed in with costume jewelry: A thief may steal the whole parcel to look through later on his stolen time.</p>
<p>10. Under A Mattress: One of the first places a thief looks &amp; it offers no lockable protection against domestic &#8220;in-house&#8221; thieves (It is just too accessible).</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="pf-content"><p>I apologize for posting this guide before it&#8217;s complete. It is a work in progress, will update daily!</p>
<p>Please give me a &#8220;thumbs up&#8221; to add some motivation for finishing it quickly.<br />
                                                          Thanks in Advance PW. <img src="https://stevelawrence8.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" /> </p>
<p>************************************************************************************************************<br />
Portable Wealth: A chattel; Something of value that can be easily transported  &#038; then converted back to another form of tradeable currency.   </p>
<p>Considerations: Portable Wealth Items should be easily Tradeable, without having to take large losses when converting to other forms of currency.   Certain items such as fine cut white diamonds &#038;  Colored Diamonds may in fact increase greatly in value over time. We will get more into the idea of  Portable Wealth such as its personal enjoyment, beauty collectability, fungibility, liquidity, stability, transportability,wearability  and more as time permits.  Let&#8217;s enjoy the Portable Wealth ride together.<br />
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
Definitions of terms in relations to Portable Wealth<br />
CURRENCY:  (Cur·ren·cy noun \ˈkər-ən(t)-sē, ˈkə-rən(t)-\)<br />
The money that a country uses : a specific kind of money<br />
Something that is used as money. A common article for bartering </p>
<p>FUNGIBILITY:<br />
An  asset&#8217;s interchangeability with other individual goods/assets of the same type. Assets possessing this property simplify the exchange/trade process, as interchangeability assumes that everyone values the goods of that class as the same. </p>
<p>LIQUIDITY:<br />
The degree to which an asset or security can be bought or sold in the market without affecting the asset&#8217;s price. Liquidity is characterized by a high level of trading activity. Assets that can be easily bought or sold are known as liquid assets. The ability to convert an asset to cash quickly. Also known as &#8220;marketability.&#8221; There is no specific liquidity formula. </p>
<p>MARKETABILITY: [mahr-ki-tuh-bili- tee]<br />
Something that is readily saleable. Something being in good demand and buyers &#038; sellers are available worldwide. </p>
<p>STABILITY: (sta·bil·i·ty noun \stə-ˈbi-lə-tē\)<br />
The quality or state of something that is not easily changed or likely to change rapidly. </p>
<p>TRADEABLE: The act or process of buying, selling or exchanging something of value. Can be done at a wholesale or retail level.  The ability to exchange. </p>
<p>TRANSPORTABILITY: (trans·port·a·bility tranˈspôrdəb(ə)l/<br />
The ability for something to be carried or moved without affecting its value.<br />
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />
Examples of Portable Wealth:<br />
Diamonds= The most condensed form of wealth on the planet. Very Portable.<br />
You could wear or carry in your pocket  $100 million in Diamonds without any difficulties. There are not many things that  are transportable that bring the kind of money that Diamonds do.<br />
Art work has been known to be portable, as it can bring great wealth but it is not easy to liquidate and has many risks traveling with it. </p>
<p>Gold=The most universally accepted metal in the world that is easily converted to any other currency quickly. Good to have in smaller quantities.  At 2014 prices, a full size man would have trouble lifting one million dollars in gold, let alone travel with it.  </p>

Written for Steve Cohn &amp; Rabbi Levi Cunin, by Eric Sander Kingston (<a href="www.ericsanderkingston.com" target="_blank">www.ericsanderkingston.com</a>)<br />
Our 2nd Temple is gone. Yet instead of only weeping we sang Niguns. We read Psalms. We sang “As the deer thirsts for water, L-rd so ‘our’ soul longs for you.” We sang and united and Prayed for 26 minutes, and in those 26 minutes all “baseless hatred” faded away from the earth and the Four Worlds became One…<br />
And for 26 minutes in heart and soul<br />
We spoke with the Burning Bush<br />
We saw the Pillar of Fire<br />
We walked through the 2nd Temple<br />
For 26 minutes in heart and soul<br />
We saw the souls of All Israel<br />
We walked with Elijah<br />
We heard Moses and the Prophets speak<br />
For 26 minutes in heart and soul<br />
We danced with the Divine<br />
We became one with the Torah<br />
We experienced, in heart and soul the Divine Essence of the 3rd Temple<br />
One day<br />
the 26 minutes will expand the Hidden Light of Heaven into our world<br />
and we will experience, not only in heart and soul, but in body and upon the earth<br />
and we will rebuild the 3rd Temple<br />
and we will become the 3rd Temple<br />
because we are the 3rd Temple<br />
and<br />
the 3rd Temple<br />
is<br />
us<br />
With Today In Thought,<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="pf-content"><p style="text-align: center;">INTEGRITY<br />
THE ATTRIBUTE OF KINGS<br />
Written for &amp; Inspired by<br />
Steve</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">by Eric Sander Kingston (<a href="www.ericsanderkingston.com">www.ericsanderkingston.com</a>)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">All you have is your word<br />
and your word must be gold<br />
“no piece of paper can hold the metal” of your word<br />
you alone<br />
must forge your word into the shape, and sword, of your integrity<br />
Make no mistake<br />
Heaven is always bearing witness<br />
as is Earth<br />
as is the community<br />
as is your soul<br />
And<br />
the metal of your forged word will yield your true integrity<br />
The forging of your word takes place in<br />
the actions you take<br />
the commitments you keep<br />
the trust you seek to build<br />
Therefore, the attributes of<br />
Truth<br />
Honor<br />
Justice<br />
Victory<br />
Compassion<br />
Judgment<br />
Foundation<br />
construct the metal sword of your word<br />
and the endurance and depth of your INTEGRITY<br />
Only you will know the real depth of the merit of your word<br />
but keep in mind<br />
if the sword of your integrity does not run deep<br />
your sword will break in battle<br />
Remember also<br />
the battle of the soul, until the end of days,<br />
is in constant struggle between<br />
itself<br />
Heaven &amp; Earth<br />
and<br />
each other<br />
Therefore, there must be “metal in your words”<br />
if you want your integrity to mirror that of a King or Queen<br />
Keep always in the center of your being that<br />
the integrity behind and within your words, are why you are where you are<br />
who you are<br />
and are creating and reforging what you are<br />
And remember,<br />
the ability of the soldiers of your words<br />
will be based on your daily integrity<br />
So forge the integrity of your words with the passion of Royalty<br />
and when your words, thoughts and actions become unified as one<br />
your sword will be that of a soldier of peace who can change things with his words alone<br />
The True Warrior who reflects the Highest Integrity of the Highest King<br />
who does not draw his sword<br />
because he does not have to<br />
Your Friend,<br />
Eric Sander Kingston<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="pf-content"><p>The Three Paths<br />
To Steve &#038; Metuka by Eric Sander Kingston (<a href="www.ericsanderkingston.com" target="_blank">www.ericsanderkingston.com</a>)</p>
<p>Dear, Dear Friends,<br />
The Path to Self<br />
Remember: The love you seek is already (all ready) within waiting to be shared. The place you live NOW is your dream house from the love you share. The love you share connects all things, hopes, dreams, possibilities and unleashes unlimited potential. Keep your inner circle pure with people filled with love &#038; faith. Remember, not everyone is meant to be within your inner physical circle and that’s OK. Those others you can help with your focused Prayers and love. Just as some foods are not meant for you too eat, but ok for others. So too, some peoples energies are meant to help evolve you and you them. And some people’s energies need to be evolved by others or themselves. The path to self unites us.</p>
<p>The Path to the World<br />
Remember too, all blame and anger create tension that migrates somewhere in the body or soul or both. Become the master of your own self by weighing the principles of G-d’s Life Gift to us. Ethics of the Fathers states “to save one life is to save a world.” Let us remember this for ourselves and our own internal world. We came here to assist each other in the development of planet. We came here to assist our own being to see within our own selves to assist in the development of our own souls. We came here to, as The Rebbe said, “to bring Heaven down to Earth.” The path to the world unites all people.</p>
<p>The Path to G-d<br />
Remember, the path to G-d is most simple. It’s the unification of all paths. The letting go of the illusions that the many paths are more than one. And even more, it’s the letting of the one to go the place which counts without numbers &#038; speaks without words. The greatest illusion is that we believe we walk many paths in life and we DO NOT see that ALL paths are One and that One is ALL paths. All paths lead to infinite possibilities. Our challenge is to know we are more than what we believe. It exists in the letting go of the stagnant image of ourselves. When we let go of that frozen belief we can behold the infinite staring back at us. WE can experience the bewilderment of the Void. WE can become ONE with G-d and yet remain whole within INFINITY.</p>
<p>The main principle to remember is that we are love and love cannot be put into simple words and phrases. Love simple is. “Love, like water, will find a way.” Remember this. All paths are simply rivers that connect to the sea. All the seas are water. This IS the secret of the paths. Man’s illusion is there is a puddle, there is a pond, there is a river, there is an ocean. G-d’s truth is that there is only water manifesting in the illusions of puddles, ponds, rivers and oceans. Let go of projected prospective and merge into the Ethereal Waters of G-d’s Understanding for those Waters NEVER run dry.</p>
<p>Your Friend,</p>
<p>Eric Sander Kingston &#038; Family</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="pf-content"><p><strong>A Zen Story</strong></p>
<p>Written For &amp; Inspired by</p>
<p>Steve Cohn</p>
<p>by</p>
<p>Eric Sander Kingston (<a href="www.ericsanderkingston.com" target="_blank">www.ericsanderkingston.com</a>)</p>
<p>One day a student, who had been seeking a great treasure of silver,<br />
and who had been wandering many, many days, got lost deep in the<br />
forest. No matter what he did he could not find his way out. He just<br />
kept following an old worn out, out dated map. He wandered very far<br />
until he finally came across a wise master who he saw pouring 100 bags<br />
of fine silver into a river that ran along the forests path. When the<br />
master began pouring the last bag of silver into rushing river, the<br />
astounded student ran over crying, “Master, master, why do you pour<br />
this treasure of silver into the river???” The master looked at him<br />
and replied, “All I have are these small bags to carry things in and I<br />
need them to carry something else?” The student replied, “But this<br />
silver is very precious! You may not find anything else like this!”<br />
The master replied, “But you could not even find your way out of this<br />
forest.” The master then sat down. Next to him was dirty brown blanket<br />
that appeared to cover a pile of dirt. The master continued, “You are<br />
lost in the forest because you cannot step away from your old path,<br />
empty your cup, and seek a new path of higher knowledge. By not<br />
letting go of your past habits, and old worn out map, you have been<br />
led in mindless circles seeking only a treasure of silver.” To this<br />
the student replied, “This may be true master, but I am not lost<br />
enough to pour out 100 bags of silver into the river when I see you,<br />
yourself, are poorer than I!” “Am I?” replied the master. The master<br />
then reached over and pulled away the dirty old blanket to reveal, not<br />
a pile of dirt, but a pile of shimmering gold.</p>
