None of the following should be necessarily thought of as religious in nature, nor necessarily excluding such. After all the essence of Grace is the granting of beingness to others, i.e. tolerance.

Solomon’s wise actions regarding the claims of two women to the motherhood of one child is an excellent example of the confident boldness and power to act of Self, Other and Systemic Knowledge. When he boldly instructed his body guard to cut the child in half he knew that the true mother loving the baby would prefer to see it go alive to someone else rather than be killed. He also knew that the lying “mother” seeing the child more as a possession or need would probably not be the first to react with such compassion, love and hence willingness to sacrifice even legitimate claim of even a beloved child. That is the confident boldness and power to act that comes from knowing one’s Self, knowing that such Self knowledge is essentially the same in all but the most damaged or incomplete humans, and because human systems being at base composed of individuals are also very reflective of humans and very similarly able to evoke and apply truth boldly and with confidence. Inward knowledge, outward knowledge and ability to act/craft policy are linked and aligned by Wisdom, particularly by the pinnacle concept and/or experience of Wisdom…which is Grace. And finally, never forget that the major aspects of both Grace and the classic goals of economic theory and policy are balance, equilibrium and flow, and hence they are perfectly aligned with and reflective of each other.
