Richard does magic.

I was recommended a book on the law of attraction so fervently that I went out and bought it. We are all looking for hope.

This brought me to a meeting that resembled a revivalist meeting where (mostly women) related their salvation stories. I thought 'why not give the mind a rest?'. I was tired and frightened because I had no money or job. Simple ideas are always attractive when afraid.

The law of attraction simply states that you get what you focus upon. This is magical thinking pure and simple. Years ago I was a magnet for violent and crazy women and I cured this simply by changing my view on women. I forced myself to believe that women could behave as thinking adults. This was an act of faith at the time because I was literally being punched by complete strangers- yet I realised that other men were being treated a great deal better simply because they expected women to be sane. These demonic women have now disappeared from my life completely. They have not been replaced by angels but by people I can at least negotiate with.

So.. I read a long and hypnotically phrased book and did my exercises. I was (and still am) unemployed but I wrote down the best outcomes I could believe in.

I had an interview on Monday with an employment advisor who had the power to stop my money if she felt I was not searching for work. I could have taken a defensive stance but I chose to see her as an ally. As a result I passed with flying colours and was even given free training. I also noticed that I was applying for more jobs. My output rose from around four applications a week to seven a day. This was not because I was working any harder but because I was more purposeful in my job hunting. I was sending out fewer C.V's to people who did not want them and finding more actual vacancies.

Tomorrow I have an interview for which I am well prepared and over qualified. There is absolutely no reason for them not to employ me if a job exists. My problem has been that many companies interview people even when there is no vacancy (I have no idea why). I will take the attitude that I am in the office to pick up my uniform and start that night. Maybe this will affect them on some subtle level.

I believe the law of attraction works. There is nothing magical about it but it simply causes us to act in more constructive ways.

NB The interview was a complete wash out. I arrived at the company HQ and was kept waiting on the doorstep for a while. Eventually someone let me in and told me that they had no vacancies. I asked if I could at least leave my C.V and was told 'don't bother, mate'. In fact the interview had been set up by a person with no authorisation to do so and the manager had known that I was coming for six or eight hours prior to my arrival. The reason he had not called me was because he 'wanted to see what I looked like'. This was despite all my efforts to be a Pollyanna in advance of the event.

Is Game the death cry of civilisation?

Is Game the death cry of civilisation? Think of sex obsessed Rome, think of the French aristocracy before the guillotine (most of the literature of this period was sex obsessed. The most famous of which was de Sade who gave us the word Sadism). All civilisations so far have been Patriarchal at their birth and Matriarchal at their death. This has always been accompanied with a universal obsession with sex that becomes the main business of society so that all other matters are neglected.

Civilisations are born when matriarchal tribes become patriarchies. Once rules are established on sexual conduct it is possible to think of other things. Matriarchies (where there are no rules on sexual conduct) produce nothing but drama that absorbs all the energies of the group. Under matriarchy childcare is a collective effort by women with little input from men beyond the necessary sperm donation. This means that a minority of men father most of the children. These are generally the greatest thugs and those with natural game. Over time this even alters the genetic makeup of the human race. It is no coincidence that the men with the largest penises and relatively small brains (Africans) lived under a matriarchal tribal system for a longer period than did Europeans. This is simple evolution.

Many people will object to this statement call me 'racist'. This is wrong because evolution is not yet finished and most African nations value patriarchy. This means that it is now the educated man who gets the girl. This has resulted in African men becoming obsessed with education and will eventually result in an increase in IQ throughout the society. We could find ourselves in a situation where African IQ is greater than European IQ within a hundred years.

Matriarchy and evolution have held humanity in a state of stagnation and paralysis for almost as long as there have been human beings.  All of prehistory (about 250,000 years) appears to have been matriarchal and was as violent as it was stupid.

Why? It was simply that violence paid and invention did not. Why should any woman choose an intelligent but sexually uninteresting man if his inventiveness does not benefit her child in any way?

Women only began to choose intelligent or creative men when it paid them to do so- in other words, when patriarchy came along.

Patriarchy changed the course of human evolution.

Patriarchy is the reason we no longer grub for insects and roots in the frozen earth. Patriarchy is the reason we do not impress our girlfriends by killing other men.

If Patriarchy is civilisation then what is Game?

Game is the last chance of the civilised man under a fading patriarchy. Matriarchy is the death of civilization and the death of civilised man- but with Game he can imitate the savage or the bad boy and pass his genes on.

Day four and five -bathtubs and kilner jars- £4.50.

My objective today is to spend no more than £20 and to reduce my monthly overhead by £1 a month. This equates to approximately 60% return a year- a truly fantastic investment.

1. Bathtubs. My largest monthly bill is currently my electricity bill which is £30 a month and provides heat as well as power. Nevertheless I will try to reduce this further and hope to be paying £28 a month within twelve months.

Heat is far more expensive than light because it uses far more power- even if it is off peak power. The secret to making a quick saving is to discover the greatest uses of heat and then reduce them.

I probably use more heat in the bath than anywhere else. This is matched by my use in the kitchen (oven, washing up, ext ext).

How may I reduce hot water consumption in the bath? I will not cut down on my baths or reduce the quantity of water. Rather than do this will try to retain heat within the bath itself.

Few people look under their baths because this area is shielded by a plastic screen. If you remove this you will find a very chilly area due to a concrete floor below. This cold void beneath the bath leeches heat from the bath you are sitting in causing you to use more hot water than you otherwise would. The solution is to fill this void with insulating materials. Crumpled newspapers would do although I will use plastic carrier bags.

2. I will also use this area as productively as I can by purchasing some kilner jars. These are airtight and watertight and I will use them to store various toiletry items that I have bought in bulk. This will clear my living space of junk and have some limited insulation value of their own. Anything that prevents air from circulating prevents heat loss.

Day three -human nature- £3.50 per month.

We can only save money when we are working within our own natures.

As I look back upon my various attempts to improve myself I realise that each failure was a result of making resolutions based upon who I wished to be rather than who I was.

We must start where we are guys.

Personally, I would like to improve my body but love food and hate exercise. I know that if I set an exercise regime for myself I will fail within three days and this will set off a cycle of self hatred.

So.. I must make the changes gradually and rely upon my strengths. These include an attention to detail- so I will lose weight gradually via a hundred small actions.

I will start with my breakfast. This usually consists of jam or marmalade on toast. Jam is largely sugar and this gives a boost in the mornings but caused an energy crash later on. I also enjoy Marmite- so from now on I have this. For variety I will have porridge and muesli (both good for me and both can be cheap). I will enjoy this with some green or white tea- which has anti cancer properties and prevents fat storage as well as giving an energy boost.

I have already told you that I hate exercise- but I am a walker and love nothing more than exploring by foot. I also have a phone with GPS and so I will explore my local area.

I will also try to distract my sweet tooth with natural yogurt and locally grown fruit.

Day two -dumplings- £2.50 per month.

Today I found a way to save an additional one pound a month.

£09.00 electronic scales.
£12.00 eight small china serving pots.
£03.99 one large kilner jar.
£24.99 TOTAL.

The electronic scales allow me to produce English dumplings to the following recipe.

150g self raising flour. (Stored in the kilner).
075g butter.
Salt, pepper and herbs to taste.

Simply mix all together with a little water to make dough balls (not too sticky) and pop them in a stew about 10 mins before the end. This is cheaper and tastier than bread. Simple! Dumplings are supposed to be peasant food but TV cooks make a dreadful fuss.

The china serving pots allow me to cook in bulk and then store individual portions in the freezer until needed.

This is both time and energy efficient and should save at least this sum each month. My investment will pay for itself in two years.

This is the way to be free.

It is quite simple really- but not easy.

All you need to do is find a way to reduce your spending by one pound a month- or find a way to make an extra one pound a month.

This is all we have to do.. but we must do it every day- relentlessly.

This means that we will have an extra £30 a month by the end of the month- an extra £60 by the next and so on.

By the end of the first year we will have an extra £360 each and every month- this is sufficient to live in many countries.

So what have I done today? I registered my electricity supplier with nectar and earned a grand total of 300 points (about £1.50 a month).

What shall I do tomorrow?

TOTAL £1.50pm
