Why Choose Ecuador?

14 years ago

In continuing this thought provoking theme on why Ecuador?
Since I moved to Ecuador in 1999 full time and took up residence and invested big time in Luxury Towers on the coastline in Salinas as well as dedicating with my wife Elizabeth 2 years of hard research, programming and writing to produce the comprehensive website www.thebestofecuador.com since 2000 many foreigners, family and friends back home as well as many locals have always asked me why I chose to put my roots, investment and channeled energies into Ecuador.
Well my reasons were several as with HGQ2112 I have travelled to over 45 countries and lived in many of the 5 Continents and through such extensive traversing of the planet I came to love the Latin Americas the most and the attitude, for example we have a saying in Ecuador
“The Lower the latitude the better the attitude”

I do not wish to sugar coat Ecuador nor attack it , for me it is one of the best countries for quality of life I have seen and also one of the best climates after the severity of North America where I was also based on the West Coast and Central zones in the 90s , coming from Europe I would criticize many areas too with climate , cost of living ,value for money and over materialistic virtues ,keeping up with the Joneses and always comparing and competing instead of celebrating the differences in creed,color,religion and life style, Small minds are occupied with small things in life and miss the big picture and should stay in their own country! I am grateful we have little Western riff raff trash! based where I am , that is one great thing about Ecuador Unlike some of the other countries I have witnessed where a more plastic person prevails.

My good friend HGQ is also correct in comparison to the natural life of Ecuador in that the U.S.A is one of the unhealthiest places to live in the World today with over 80 new cancers through G.M. Crops, to chemical pollutions, electro magnetic ,nuclear power radiation and has become the worlds whore of polluters,60% plus obesity levels as well as no handle on reality by its handlers for the poor Americans who have had their rights destroyed by the Illuminati who strip the country daily while they move on and ahead with their agendas of final control and the chipping and surveillance of society in every way possible, where as here one is off the map and below the radar!

Most people who decide to move to another country and write new chapters of life,new interests & hobbies move in their first year to Lose themselves, in the second I believe they start to find themselves as I have seen here in Ecuador with ex-pats although some take on one of the the local bad customs of short term thinking only of today, and morphing into other practices and piracy tactics! while others continue to be who they were before,Morals in tact but integrate into society bringing the best out of everything and can celebrate those differences realizing the riches of another country are not Monetary and physical but lie in their culture and customs and humility which the majority of Ecuadorians have and are charming and warm unlike the colder ,logical Western mindset although many a good Ex-Pat is also trying to integrate some of the good things from their culture into this one too and offer up new learning and appreciations too of their ways, tastes and artistic, creative natures!
Here in Ecuador people tend to FEEL YOU , NOT THINK YOU! , this is something most Westerners and occidental just don’t get! Being stared or looked at is the locals way of sensing and feeling you out ,where as in Europe
,eg England where I hail from and the U.S.A it is considered rude and intrusive, but the smile melts all that!
Another reason I moved to Ecuador is being a metaphysical published author of Spirit/Soul through my book Truth Journeys, see David Lazuli Smith on Amazon.com USA , Barnes and Noble,Tower Books or Amazon UK. Is that Ecuador will become a golden country in the future in terms of survival and security and living much better than many countries with earth changes which are coming to us all in the near future .
I am not going to go into all the changes, those interested can e mail me privately at [email protected]
I will however leave you with a chilling 7th of 9 prophecies by the Hopi Indians on the current oil spill, we can send this complete summary to those interested later on the above mail, here is a small part.
The most current sign is the one below, I predict once the hurricane season commences millions of Gulf Based states and possibly upper Eastern coast States too will be severely affected and mobilized through Acid Rains, black tar existence, this is not what I would like to happen but may partially occur and I have a 90% prediction success on prophecy and events since the 80s!
I will not point a finger of who to blame, but it is obviously a case of somebody ,nobody and anybody! AND these three Stooges don’t want to PLUG,CAP the whole for many reasons which will become clearer for those who can hear and see invisibly the patterns unfolding!

"This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it."

The signs are interpreted as follows: The First Sign is of guns. The Second Sign is of the pioneers' covered wagons. The Third Sign is of longhorn cattle. The Fourth Sign describes the railroad tracks. The Fifth Sign is a clear image of our electric power and telephone lines. The Sixth Sign describes concrete highways and their mirage-producing effects. The Seventh Sign foretells of oil spills in the ocean. The Eighth Sign clearly indicates the "Hippy Movement" of the 1960s. The Ninth Sign was the U.S. Space Station Skylab, which fell to Earth in 1979. According to Australian eye-witnesses, it appeared to be burning blue.
"The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This the elders everywhere know. The Signs over many years have been fulfilled, and so few are left.

"This is the First Sign: We are told of the coming of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana men who took the land that was not theirs. And men who struck their enemies with thunder.

"This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices. In his youth, my father saw this prophecy come true with his eyes -- the white men bringing their families in wagons across the prairies."

"This is the Third Sign: A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers. These White Feather saw with his eyes -- the coming of the white men's cattle."

"This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron."

"This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider's web."

"This is the Sixth sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun."

"This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it."

"This is the Eight Sign: You will see many youth, who wear their hair long like my people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn their ways and wisdom.

"And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease.

“Time is the currency of life,
spend it wisely Even though many exist in cages of their own making!”
