You give everyone an account at the central bank. Instead of the Federal Reserve you make it the General Reserve. That way instead of only making the world safe for private banking you make the world of consumers and enterprise safe to participate in the economy not to mention make the economy a whole lot more stable than it ever has been.

Because its the universally participated in point (retail sale) and first temporal universe system (the economy) to be the greatest opportunity to consciously self actualize grace as in gratitude for a gift…since meditation and prayer. And you don’t even have to chant the right name all you need to do is go to the store and buy something.

Who’da thunk it!? You know, instead of saying: “Damn! Oreos just went up another 10%! You can say: “Thank you Mr. and Ms. Merchant for enabling me to buy $100 worth of groceries for only $50, and thank you Mr. and Ms. politician for waking up and finally passing legislation that serves everyone and every enterprise”…and even “It really is a wonderful life when you’re guaranteed financial security, isn’t it! Why I don’t even feel like slappin’ the dog…or the wife. Every time I go to the store I feel like givin’ em a hug instead!

Systemic/Problem Identification analysis while good and necessary generally results in at best palliative reforms. However, as paradigms both current and new are applied concepts that create and enforce both human personal and temporal universe realities, identifying and most efficaciously applying the new paradigm is orders of magnitude deeper, more permanent and beneficial than systemic analysis alone can ever be. History confirms this fact.

Having said all of that, what if one identified the single concept whose aspect or aspects has always been the beneficial effects of every historical paradigm change? Now that would be a supreme insight, and would enable the analyst to simply identify and most efficaciously apply the aspect or aspects of that concept in a straight forward logical intellectual “plug and play” fashion and so streamline the accomplishment of paradigm change.

This is Paradigmology, and that natural philosophical concept is grace.

Universality, continuousness, multiple/trans-systemic and serendipitous beneficial effect…of an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace.

The music of godliness and the very ellixir of paradigm change.

As within, so also with out.

Politicians? God help them, you’ll pardon the expression, because their temptation and all too often driving ethic is power and control only which is the very antithesis of grace which is redeemed/redemptive power and control.

Dante was prescient when he condemned the majority of politicians to the seventh level of hell.

Excellent, excellent post Rodger. Stress, unresolved problems and a desparate desire to resolve them is the very process and temptation of the authoritarian mindset…and the natural philosophical concept of grace, graciousness and its systemically applicable aspects…like Gifting for instance, is its remedy.

They analyze the economy and the money system systemically, but fail to do so conceptually. Hence they never see the deeper realities that paradigms, being applied concepts, create and enforce.

…an applied idea, which is what a paradigm is, especially an applied monopoly idea like we have today in Finance with their concept of Debt Only as the sole form and vehicle for the creation and distribution of virtually all new money….has astonishing effects in the mind and in the temporal universe.

Similarly, we also have a monopoly paradigm of economic payment of The Buyer Only Must Pay Full and Final Price.

These unnecessarily restrictive monopoly paradigms have been in restraint of trade since the beginning of human civilization.

Its way past due that we break these applied monopoly ideas up, especially because they inhibit rational action toward the resolution of present and looming crises.
