The Economy: What I see

The World Economy is like a large tank of water with the water splashing around, moving around, creating waves – in other words – water moving. This points to all the different economies of the world, changing and moving, going up and down, left and right, forward and backward in waves. When some nations are up or down other nations can be in opposite positions or pulling/pushing on other nations to follow. When we think that the world as a whole is either all good/up or all bad/down, we’re not seeing the intricate minor economies that underlie the major economies, having opposite responses sometimes. The world economies as a whole, are ongoing and active, like waves in that tank. Sometimes this is not understood, but it still happens. This is because there are 8 billion of us humans, all going about our lives doing that work that is in our lives to do. The world’s economies make up the World Economy and unless a world wide calamity happens, which I DO NOT SEE IN 2026, there will not be a world economic collapse.

It is easy to say that a few major economic players affect the whole world, because we can see the reality of this. But, there are around 200 nations, thousands of regions, millions of towns and cities and each one has its own economy which contributes to the overall world economy which is constantly changing.

This description and others in the physical world are manifested because this same thing originates in the spirit world, and is helped by the billions of spirits/souls actively living out lives on Earth. As above (the spiritual world), so below (the physical world). The physical world is a reflection of the spiritual world, not vice versa.

United States:
In 2026, the US economy on the whole will continue to show an steady increase in prices. Inflation will stay with us. The Tariffs still being in place is a major influence for the higher prices, but not the only influence. There will be little if any government effort to change this. In Jan. and Feb., overall prices can appear to be stable – from a great deal of the after-Christmas retail sales of all kinds – great and small – lowering to sale prices, trying to reduce inventory.

With housing, the energy sector, and health care: Health Care/Insurance is going to increase in cost, because I’m seeing Republicans not being on board with the ACA subsidies. They’ll wrangle and debate but it would take a great deal of arm twisting to pass any legislation (which is possible). The most possible is 2 years of extensions of the ACA subsidies. However, there is a great deal of fluctuation happening in the timeline, and more change can happen, if the pressure doesn’t let up, as spring arrives. With Americans spending a bigger amount of their money on health insurance, they have little left for much extra like buying new homes or vehicles. I’m seeing the economy slow down, and in the winter of 2026, the energy costs for winter heating will mostly stay stable and not go up much, (yet), from efforts in the energy sector to keep prices down.

The word “affordability” may be a word that is politically volatile, but it fits, nevertheless. We all know what it means and know that it fits the times. But, remember, it’s the people who are not wealthy that recognize this. Regular Americans are the ones who recognize why “affordability” is the most appropriate word of this time. In 2026, “It’s about affordability.” Those who are more interested in conflict and disinformation, than understanding and admitting what is really happening, will fight against this word and what it means.

While there will be a small minority with whom this word does not apply, and this small minority will consider themselves to be the majority, it won’t be difficult to become aware of who is who. As we move into Spring, 2026, I’m seeing prices going up again. A number of factors will drive this, but I do see prices affecting the month to month spending and affordability of all things in people’s day to day lives. Americans will take the price increases stride, because they have little choice. But, until some type of relief comes in the housing, energy and health care and insurance industry, which could happen in the summer, being able to afford the “costs of living” will become less and less.

• President Trump will make announcements regarding the economy, jobs, etc in March. The announcements won’t affect the economy or inflation.
• He will consider an action taken to try to impact the economy and/or inflation at the beginning of June. He’ll be advised to do it, but will be hesitant. He relies heavily on his tariffs and doesn’t want to interfere with what the tariffs are doing.

***

The summer of 2026 will bring much political volatility in the nation – more-so than the winter and early spring – and this will both distract away from and bring into focus, the prices staying high, with no relief in sight for the high costs of living. In the Fall of 2026, we’ll see a smaller increase in prices, because of political efforts to influence the midterm elections. There won’t be much notice from the American people, because there will be other things taking up attentions. There will be no shortage of events which distract away from the inflation continuing.

The year, 2026, is like the metaphor of “all the problems after a hurricane has gone through an area.” There are low supplies, which will bring a return to higher demand and therefore, higher prices, in order to provide some semblance of what would have been a normal economy, and conflict in trying to obtain what is needed to return to “normal” life. This metaphor will include costs of living, jobs, the hope for finding homes, food, and all else that would be needed to continue with moving into 2027. In the end, the return to what once was, will never happen, but a new normal and a new balance of the needs of life, will be sought, explored and experimented with.

There is hope in our day-to-day efforts of making life better for our loved ones which Americans will work at throughout the year. Our focus on making life better for those we love and ourselves, will be in play within vast numbers of Americans. Of course, this is true of all humans on the planet – doing the best we can, with what we have, for those we love.

Three suggestions during this year:
1. Seek to join with “any community” or local groups which can benefit from it’s members relying on each other. The purpose of this time in human life is to learn to come together to solve problems. This won’t happen much on the Federal level, YET, for many reasons, nevertheless, it can happen more so on the local community levels, because there will be less local political conflict involved.

2. Pray for all the people in your life, all human beings and all life everywhere.

3. Pray for the elected officials, also. What better way to help all people, than to help elected officials through our prayers for them. They really do need our prayers – for many different reasons.

Around the World:
The Economies of the World are being affected by other and different factors, but the end results will be similar to the US. Weather, political conflicts, wars, the oppression of peoples, and other factors all impact the economies of each nation. Yet, each nation can still be impacted slightly or overtly differently.

In looking at the different continents, there is no one continent that relies only on itself for trying to have its own stable economy. 2026 will not be very different than 2025, except we will see conflicts increasing, because of the visible weakening of some government leaders and their being desperate to hang on to their decreasing hold onto their own agendas. This will negatively affect the economies of nations connected to this scenario.

China’s economy is relatively stable, but then it stays in a rigid state held by strict government control.

Europe’s economy is slowly, slowly strengthening. Whether slow or fast, Europe is strengthening in many ways. Their need for strengthening their military power, and their accomplishing of this, is what is carrying them forward. Their cooperation with each other is a strong foundation for them to strengthen in other ways.

If you read many of my previous decades predictions, you’ll read where I mention Europe’s growing in strength in the world, in the 2020’s. It’s happening. A United Europe is becoming the “leader” of the free world, no matter how much posturing and threatening the Trump administration OR ANY administration is doing. In the same way that plants don’t grow in barren soil no matter what talk is offered, plants do grow in nutritional soil. Talk, talk, talk, doesn’t grow a good garden. Whether there is a good foundation or not, does not come from words or wars. Cooperation brings a strong foundation – working together – and this is affecting economies, reaching out into the world stage.

The middle eastern economies will always be boosted by their oil production and so far, this will continue as is through the 2020’s. Greater efforts will work to bring change throughout the world in the 2030’s. Oil production will not go away on this planet, in this century, but the alternative energy sources will grow and grow in prominence, and increase in world-wide use.

The new, “unique energy source” I’ve been seeing for decades, and have mentioned, since 2005, is still set to come forth, and at this time, I see it being presented to the world in the 2040’s but it will take several decades to make it into a regular general public source of energy. In time, it will take its place as another of the several energy source replacements for such a large world dependence on oil.

Petroleum was never meant to be so dominant in the Earth. It was meant to offer about 10% of the world’s energy and chemical needs. But it was meant to provide for some use. “Meant” by whom? By the spiritual forces and guidance for the Earth. Currently, human beings have created an imbalance of the use of petroleum, and this imbalance must be addressed and dealt with, or the Earth will become less and less a Garden.

Britain’s economy is closely tied to Europe and will be more stable this way. Trade agreements are helping to keep each nation stable. I’m seeing some bumps in the road for Britain, but no serious economic problems on the whole.

• Any nation which seeks to isolate itself, will suffer greatly, in their economy, with their people, and in so many different parts of their society. Isolation is going against the Spiritual Paths and Directions which are set in place for the Earth, and there will be problems from this isolation.

Canada’s economy, also, has become more stable from the increase in connections to Europe. As long as Canada continues this movement into European trade, it will continue to benefit and grow. There are specific sectors of their economy that do need attention, but these difficulties will not impede any stability. Some of their food sectors will be the most in need of help because of severe weather issues that Canada will face in 2026.

The Pacific rim nations: Japan, Korea, Philippines, Viet Nam, Singapore, Indochina, etc. These economies are steady and I see no serious or severe problems for them in 2026. Some of them will be on the forefront of Electric Car manufacturing for the world. They will benefit from this focus and direction because the rest of the world will be buying their products.

China’s electric cars will be pushed onto some nations in trade, as a bargaining topic, but their car is not equal to the Japanese and Korean car manufacturers. Russia and Putin’s war are and will continue to be destructive to their economy. In the end, it will be a failure.

While Americans are still buying gas powered vehicles and will for several decades yet, not all Americans are. American car manufacturers know electric cars are the future, but they focus mostly on putting the same types of vehicles on the road. This means that the future will be much slower to arrive in the US, and this slowness will contribute to higher levels of causative processes contributing to ever growing weather extremes, and for longer time periods in the US.

Sadly, there is a price to pay for American manufacturers being slow. The gap is getting bigger between Japan/Korea and the US. For American car companies to catch up to Japan and Korea in electric cars in quality and service, they would need to put a tremendously greater amount of resources into research to offer a better electric vehicle product – better than Asia’s offerings. Tariffs won’t help. Tariffs are a Federal Sales Tax established by the federal government. Cities have sales taxes and we know them to be low amounts, but the Federal Sales Tax is extremely high when compared.

*****

We are not in the stage of evolution in the planet, when ultimately, wars and military conflicts, act against the economy, and act against the well-being of the people. We are moving into a new Age and part of the spirit of this new Age is that old ways of gaining and taking from others will no longer work. Even the application of greater and worse destruction, will not accomplish the desired result anymore.

SUM UP

To sum up: within the huge tank of water that has plenty of sloshing water in it, which is the world economy, the tariffs are adding another layer of (increasing) inflation. Without the tariffs, inflation would still be happening, but a bit less of it – with that “lesser amount” being what I would otherwise consider/call a normal amount of inflation.

Please, do feel free: If you have an economic question about any specific aspect, or about your area of the planet, you may ask in the comments of this article. The forces and decisions that impact the world economies change timelines often, so the results and predictions can be affected. Do post questions if you would like to address specific economic issues. The more specific the question, the more specific will be the answer. Likewise, the more general the question, the more general the answer will be. I’ll post any questions and answers at the end of this article, and post it in red.
