Human History is the Incremental Process of Enlightenment Hardening Into Orthodoxy, Anomaly, Palliative Reform and, Too Slowly, Paradigm Change/Re-Enlightenment

The way to hasten and improve this process is to consciously recognize the driving idea behind significant progress in human history which is the natural philosophical concept of grace, and then personally and systemically apply its various aspects with the superlative integrative intellectual process also known as Wisdom. The perfect examples of this are the paradigm changes of human history.

Two of the patterns we presently need to apply the wisdom of grace to are the economy/money system, and paradoxically the gem of The Enlightenment, Science, which has slowly crystalized into the monopoly paradigm of Science Only. We’ve forgotten the importance and efficacy of the philosophical concept and experience of grace both individually and systemically while for the last 350 years simultaneously thrown out the baby of Wisdom with the bath water of pre-scientific religious orthodoxy. This is not in any way an affirmation of superstition or rejection of science, simply the recognition that science is wonderful, necessary and intellectually delicious…and it exists entirely within the intellectual digestive tract of Wisdom.

The Wisdom of the aspects of grace show the way toward a new and broader enlightenment.
