Intellectuals of whatever stripe and whatever perspective have more than enough “brain power” to resolve our problems. What they don’t have enough of is the psychological reality and experience of Love and of the even more integrated and wisdom creating reality and experience of Grace which is actually the willingness and ability to Love in action, in other words Love and act. And the lack of these experiences…makes all the difference in the world.

Look around at intellectuals, look around at yourself because everyone has plenty of intellectual capability. Do you actually see very many…or any of them that has confidence and hope for the future? No. They are all fearful of the future. And I’m not saying that fear isn’t or can’t be a rational emotion. I’m saying there is something enforcing and keeping in suspension fear and anxiety. Something that is actually resolvable, something systemic that is missing in intellectual’s analysis of our system(s). That missing analysis and the policy solutions that must be implemented to resolve this most basic problem are the topic of this blog/my work. But that is not what I am presently talking about. I am now talking about how that unresolved problem keeps intellectuals and everyone from having the experiences necessary to break free of and consciously ascend to higher, better, more rational and more ethical states of emotion and being. If one habitually does not have confidence they will overwhelming choose not to act. If they continuously fail to act they not only do not garner confidence via experience they will strongly tend to descend over time into hopelessness and consequently they will cycle through resentment, antagonism and anger, sometimes descending even into fear if they are overtly threatened and finally settling into cynicism, “realism” or apathy. Without the reliable and consistent occurrence of the internal emotional states of confidence and hope….love becomes a distant, unreal, cynical and/or eventually “impossible” “reality”. And as with lack of confidence, lack of the reality of Love prevents acting with Love and so the reality of the experience of Grace/Love in action….is almost entirely prevented. Hence there is almost no actual reality on the experience at all.

I ask you, what would guaranteeing the individual a satisfactorily middle class income whether they worked or not do to alleviate the constant and hence habitual anxiety, insecurity, fear, resentment, anger, antagonism, cynicism and hopelessness that characterize so much of and so many in their economic and monetary life? And what would moment to moment and continuously eliminating these negative states do for the increased experience and hence the actualizing reality of Confidence, Hope, Love and Grace?

Resolving, completely resolving economic and monetary life for the individual is the single most relevant and powerful thing we can do for ourselves and our posterity, for our nation and for the world. Confront that without flinching or compromising and a movement to implement it becomes natural, becomes inevitable…and will win!
