Yes, every present perception is a gift. Gifting is evocative of gratitude and both are aspects/fruits of graciousness/loving action. One technique I like to do is look at the space of an open door…until its reality becomes real to you. This often also evokes a stronger sense of the solidity of objects at a distance.

Back to grace and gifting: what if we implemented a policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale? IOW you get $100 worth of goods or services…for $50, but with the rebate aspect of the policy the merchant gets their full price rebated back to them by the central bank. Voila! Everyone’s purchasing power is immediately and mathematically doubled as is the potential demand for every merchant’s goods and services so its a win/win, and instead of grumbling that “Damn, orios just went up another 10%!, EVERYONE gets to consciously say: “Thank you Mr. and MS merchant for the gift of 50% of the price of EVERYTHING, and instead of cursing the bought and paid for politicians you get to say “Thank you Mr. and Ms politician for passing the legislation to make this everyday gift and opportunity to self actualize gratitude.”

But wait you say, more consumption is not a good thing. But what if we also passed a sliding scale required percentage of utilized gifted purchasing power be invested in Eco-Energy R & D Treasury bonds at say 5-6%, IOW a gift of a guaranteed investment that rationalized action toward resolving our eco-energy crises, that mitigated consumption and again, that EVERYONE benefited from? Instead of capitalism or socialism we could have a Wisdomics-Gracenomics.

Why? Because mathematics is abstract reality and 3, 6 & 9 is the trinity/wisdom signature of the nature of the physical/temporal universe. Also, 3 is yin/mental, 6 is yang/temporal/physical universe and 9 is their integration which describes the trinitarian/integrative mental and temporal universe reality changing phenomenon/effect of paradigm changes.

Finally, the aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace as in flow, free-flowingness, free gifting, integration of opposites to the point of trinity/thirdness greater oneness, love/loving, ethics/the rational consideration of opposites/dualities etc. etc. etc. are the beneficial effects of historical paradigm changes which themselves are trinitarian phenomena like 3, 6 & 9. Hence, deciphering the relevant aspect of concept of grace, which is the trinitarian concept itself, and its application to our systems…is revealed as a straight-forward intellectual “plug and play” way to effect paradigm change.

I do not understand why you are not all over affirming that my favorite policy of a 50+% Discount/Rebate at retail sale is a breakthrough??? It dramatically affirms your and MMT’s insight that money is created with double entry bookkeeping, and being implemented at both regular consumer retail sale and also the retail point of Finance (one’s monthly mortgage, insurance, automobile or other big ticket item) has macro-economic effect because everyone buys things at retail and everyone who borrows has a monthly payment IOW retail sale is the aggregative point in the entire economic process and so the best place to implement monetary policy using the freshman algebra and double entry bookkeeping operation of equal debits and credits that sum to zero. The policy, like every new applied idea/paradigm accomplishes both complete conceptual opposition to and complete temporal universe inversion of the problematic effects of the current paradigm (Debt Only to` Strategic Monetary Gifting and chronic erosive inflation to beneficial price and asset deflation). You’re brilliant and I learned alot from you, but you have to see the beneficial effects of this policy.

The ultimate control mechanism because it lets the banks and commercial agents get you by the belly, the balls and the brain.

The equivalent of Kepler’s discovery of elliptical orbits. Kepler’s dicovery was what actually made Copernican astrophysics more accurate than Ptolemaic cosmology, and the 50% Discount/Rebate resolves not only chronic individual and commercial monetary austerity it also transforms the slippreist problem in economics namely inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation…and without punishing the commercial agent.

Space-Time is four dimmensions and adding/integrating consciousness itself to the emergent nature of the cosmos via concepts that simultaneously change both individual reality and the temporal universe is the fifth factor. Its also known as Wisdom which is the intellectual process of integrating opposites.

All of the falderal of monetary and economic theoretics is a chaotic system of thought because there are no “known and enforceable barriers” …within which human freedom can actually exist. You point this out all the time yourself Mish. FED policy is ham handed, ineffective and cow tows to the private banking system’s monopoly paradigm for the creation and distribution of all new money. 2008 is the perfect example of this where the banks caused the problem and then they got bailed out and everyone else had to go scratch.

Integrating the new paradigm policy framework of Strategic Monetary Gifting into the Debt Only system IS THE ANSWER first and foremost with a 50% Discount/Rebate at regular consumer retail sale and the retail point of Finance. Every new paradigm has always been in complete conceptual opposition to the present anomalous concept. Examples: geo-centrism to helio-centrism, nomadic tribal hunting and gathering to homesteading, urbanization and agriculture, Debt Only to Debt and Monetary Gifting.

Liberals/socialists and conservatives/libertarians alike need to drop their allegiance to rigid orthodoxies and consult the history of paradigm change.

If paradigms are applied concepts/ideas and new ones resolve the anomalies of the present problematic one, then why don’t we analyze systems, bodies of knowledge or areas of human endeavor conceptually/philosophically???

Since “The Enlightenment” its largely an increasingly creeping intellectual paradigm of Science Only which avoids and even forbids anything that smacks of spiritual input. That and humanity’s proclivity for addictive egoistic orthodoxies which is what an intellectual paradigm of Science Only is in spades.

However, an intellectual paradigm of Wisdom which is the intellectual process of the integration of opposites characterized by a graceful open mindedness of free and free flowing thinking and inclusiveness of the scientific method, is exactly the prescription we need. As I like to say: “Science is wonderful, necessary and delicious…and it exists entirely within the digestive tract of Wisdom.”

And this is why we need a Wisdomics-Gracenomics to replace the human civilization-long failed and largely inhumane economics we struggle with today.
