Excellent, excellent post Rodger. I wouldn’t argue with anything you say, I would only ask what would be the best way we could harness and direct this restlessness? And that would be to find a way to elicit spirituality/the beneficial aspects and fruits of religion but NOT religion itself…just the beneficial EXPERIENCES of it…into an activity that is universally participated in and necessary for survival itself…like the economy for instance. In other words you integrate spirituality, in this case the opportunity to experience grace as in gratitude for a gift of 50% of the price of everything into the mandatory activity of a human system.
Monetary Grace as in Gifting could elicit the experience of love AND loving ACTION, i.e. graciousNESS that not only resolves the deepest problems of the economy but also becomes the greatest opportunity to CONSCIOUSLY self actualize gratitude…instead of being forced into grudging resentment at chronic erosive inflation and thus the stress of continually falling behind financially, not to mention having to deal with the stress of the daily barrage of greed, corruption, demagoguery i.e. anti-ethical behavior of chaos monkeys like you know who.
This would be a comprehensive human project that needs multple strategies, i.e. Wisdom because human psychology is complex (thats why I titled my book Wisdomics-Gracenomics) and thats why additional policy incentives and institutional changes I suggest in my book are also necessary…but the single policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate at the various points of retail sale is the start because its a BIG and UNIVERSALLY BENEFICIAL RESOLVING ACTION.
