I have been using a formula for a while which I knew had significance, but still just didn’t seem right or complete, even though it  was more basic and made much more sense than other concepts or formulas about Life and Living. Here it is:

[ (D)  X  (a)G/C/SA ] where  (D) is a legitimate Duality (two opposing, equilibrating, reflecting, balancing ideas, concepts, intentions, states of being) X is the sign for Integration and (a) is an aspect of G/C/SA, the experience of Grace-God/Consciousness/Self Awareness.

But this is my realization about the formula. To be consistent with Time and human thinking/being it should be:

[ (a)G/C/SA  X  (D) ]

Why? Because when was the last time you picked up a pencil, and then decided to pick up that very same pencil? The thought precedes the action. 

For the normal, healthy and basically free human being the idea/intention precedes the action. Now one can feel as if the duality-conflict is ever present, but its actually true that you are holding the conflict in effect in your present and continuing moment. All you really have to do is let go of the conflicting duality of it. This is the idea gestalt psychology and virtually all of the world’s major Wisdom traditions. And as a gradient way of letting go it is also what is known as abreaction therapy where one “runs off” one’s efforts, emotions and thoughts regarding the conflict until one is tired of holding onto it and/or has a realization about when and/or why one was holding onto it and then lets it go. This is actually the purpose of what is called a koan in zen buddhist practice which is an ancient ingenious form of conflict/problem resolution and results in what is called satori which is a direct personal realization of or about Consciousness/Self Awareness…which is an inherent and primary aspect of….being human. And that is the realization of the primariness and firstness or prior aspect of consciousness and/or God. So if you want to meet your Self and/or God….just let the Duality/conflict go and be one with the first and primary state of being and/or the first and primary state of being…and its reflecting  aspect from the Duality. Either way you’re at one with yourself and/or God. This by the way is the concept of Trinity which is the signature of God/Spirituality itself as in Grace or God (1/oneness) X integrated with a Duality (2/twoness) = oneness within 3/threeness/wholeness, at least within incarnation, but is actually reducible to oneness (reducibility is an aspect/signature of Science and scientific breakthrough).  And of course that is the realization that truly Wise and Integrated Science and Spirituality/God are not/do not have to be in conflict with each other.

Now take that and apply it to Economics and macro-economic policy and you can see that Grace as a philosophy and policy is the Wisdom of a truly Integrated and human science of Economics.
