During the 2016 presidential campaign there was talk of the 1%  – The top 1% income earners in the United States. This post will define the 1% differently. Out of every human ever – 1% are alive today (see math at bottom). Everyone else is either in the afterlife or beforelife stage – either reflecting on their time alive or waiting patiently for their time to come. People like Welles Crowther, the Armstrong Family, or someone you knew are not a part of the 1% anymore. You are; take pride in that.

Relying on anything external to feel powerful or good about yourself will leave you screwed up because nothing outside of your being lasts indefinitely. And when it’s gone – whether it’s a thing, person, or lifestyle – you are left searching. But if you feel empowered simply by your breath & who you are, that will never leave you. In a time of real inner tension, judgment, and conflict – People must remember this idea. You’re special, powerful, and matter simply because you’re alive. Understand that.

I’m giving you a glimpse of my blueprint; it’s up to you what to do with it. I know many people will read this post, even understand the message, but then live out their life forgetting it though having their spirit disturbed by external things, not being confident to be their true self, or chasing material things hoping that would fulfill their soul … This blog is just my perspectives of course. You don’t have to follow. But I think this message is important. If you’re empowered simply because you are alive, then you will remain empowered no matter what happens in your life. That is the power in recognizing & embracing that you are the 1%. This permanent power is limitless and yours for the taking – Will you take it ?

Math explanation of the 1%: Note that estimates are of course used … There are 7.4 billion people alive today. Including the people alive today, there have been 108 billion people in existence previously. So 7% of people that have ever existed are alive today. In my 1% calculation though I am including the people that have yet to be born … There are 131.4 million births per year – This rate will definitely change, but for simplistic purposes I will assume this rate is constant. To get to 740 billion people to have ever existed (100x the current population), 632 billion people must be added to Earth (740-108). That will take 4,810 years (632 billion / 131.4 million) … Or until the year 6,827. So to recap – If people are born at the same rate today until the year 6,827, then 1% of humans that have ever existed or will exist are alive today!
