No shit. Right on down the line space, time, consciousness itself separately and as a whole is/are an aspect of the concept and more importantly the experience of grace. And all you really have to do is consciously stand in the light of that fact….by looking at it, at whatever is presently all around you at any given moment.

The operant belief and applied concept creating both the personal and systemic/temporal universe realities of a system, body of knowledge and/or area of human endeavor. This is true of both present anomalous paradigms and new paradigms. The only difference is the first has become problematic due to the universe being an emergent phenomenon and the second is the resolving new perceived and applied concept.

Normally paradigms are obscured by their long term acculturation and new paradigms are resisted/propagandised against by the wielder(s) of the present paradigm. Much of this obscurity and self interested delaying can be overcome by the insight that the beneficial effects of all historical paradigm changes has always been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace. Thus, if you find the relevant aspect of grace and find how to best apply it…it makes paradigm change virtually a “plug and play” process. This is the core of paradigmology and of my book Wisdomics-Gracenomics: The New Monetary and Economic Paradigm, and of its new philosophy of Gracientielism.

Global warming is undoubtedly the biggest problem we need to resolve. Thats why a policy of a sliding scale required percentage of gifted purchasing power created by a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale be “taxed” into a gift of a guaranteed investment to fund Eco-Energy R & D treasury bonds at 5-6% thus enabling a potential second Copernican Cosmological-like paradigm change from Geo-Centric Energy Production and Sourcing ONLY to Cosmic as in Quantum Sourcing and Off Planeting Energy Production. It would make rational action for ecological sanity profitable and also mitigate the increase in consumption the Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale would create.

My 50% Discount/Rebate policy at regular consumer retail sale and the retail point of Finance, namely one’s mortgage, automobile, insurance or other big ticket item directly addresses and resolves this problem. Inflation? No problem when the new monetary paradigm breaks up the present monopoly paradigm for the creation and distribution of virtually all new money is Strategic Monetary Gifting at the terminal summing point of all costs and hence price (retail sale) with a 50% discount/credit there and an equal rebate/debit back to the merchant granting that discount to the consumer IOW utilizing MMT’s insight that money is created with equal debits and credits that sum to zero. The effect? Doing the central banks job by transforming chronic erosive inflation into into beneficial price and asset deflation. (Invalidation of The Quantity Theory of Money and Milton Friedman turns over in his grave and falls from the sixth to the seventh level of hell.) Full employment? Well in our emerging age of AI that also requires a UBI and job guarantee, but mathematically doubling everyone’s purchasing power in the mean time goes a long way toward creating the textbook definition of “good economic times” and staving off the catastrophe waiting to happen when all but two of the AI enterprises go out of business and the others are looking to be bailed out by the central bank.

Change the ideas/concepts/paradigms creating and re-inforcing mental and temporal universe reality behind our systems and you go to the source of the problem instead of only sticking one’s finger in the hole in the dike with a paradigm of Systemic Reforms Only.

Opening Statements: If you have ever heard of more benefits than the following with a single policy please let me know:

a) an immediate mathematical doubling of everyone’s purchasing power so if you’re making $50k/yr. you can now purchase $100k with that $50k

b) simultaneous doubling of potential demand for every merchants goods and services

c) transforms chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation

d) It invalidates the long held and seeming inviolable orthodoxy of The Quantity Theory of Money

e) its the greatest opportunity for everyone to self actualize probably the key personal experience of human happiness, namely gratitude…simply by going to the store and buying something which everyone must and does in fact do

Rebut Cynicism. One final thing before I describe how this policy works. Cynicism is generally well meant, but very often mistaken. Its stopping before one even begins which is exactly how “the powers that be” want you to react. I prefer Antonio Gramsci’s attitude when he said “We need pessimism of the mind, but optimism of the will.” because that keeps you engaged and acting.

Use Sun Tsu’s insight: If you can convince the enemy there is no reason to resist you’ll win every war…without even a battle.

Finally, keep these two truths always in your mind:

a) Every individual economic agent and every comemcial one as well far out number those who would oppose these new benefits and

b) the truest of true political truisms is: People vote their pocketbooks

Description of primary policy of the 50% Discount at regular consumer retail sale and the retail point of Finance

Universality of Benefits…even to banking, and using examples of the aspects of grace like balance, synthesis/integration of opposites, joy, relief, trinity/thirdness greater oneness as in resolution of opposites, etc. to dramatize the benfits of the new paradigm…and to reinforce the insight that grace is the signature of historical paradigm changes

Serendipity/Unanticipated Benefit is the Signature of Mega-Paradigm Changes

a) Examples

b) Who would have thought that giving everyone money would beget grace as in gratitude for a gift instead of the quite true proverb that the love of money is the root of all evil? Thats because loving money as that biblical insight is meant to warn us about is describing greed, while Monetary Gifting still requires that full price is paid, but the benefit of integrating graciousness as in gifting into that process greatly increases everyone’s economic security which enables a continuous and universal economic deep breath thus relieving chronic stress and a deeper stronger opportunity to better enjoy (joy/enjoyment is an aspect of grace) life moment to moment.

Rebut perfectionism by pointing out its false universality of effect, and mistaken prevention of both progress and the important process of human purposefulness and character development.

Central banks were originally set up to make the world safe for private banking by not having the policy tools to resolve or interfere with the instability that the banks create with their monopoly paradigm for the creation and distribution of virtually all new money, namely Debt Only…while also being able to bail the banks out when that paradigm causes the shit to hit the fan as serially happens and as we saw in 2008. The answer is to break up that monopoly concept with the new concept of Strategic Monetary Gifting primarily with a policy with real teeth and stupendous benefits like the 50% Discount/Rebate at both regular consumer retail sale and also the point of financial retail sale which is one’s mortgage, insurance, automobile or other big ticket item’s monthly payment. Doing that mathematically doubles the regular everyday purchasing power of EVERYONE and doubles it once again for any new indebtedness. IOW you get $100 worth of groceries or other consumer goods…for $50 and a $500k house for $250k and then when your monthly payment comes due the central bank pays 50% of it. All commercial agents get their full price and chronic erosive inflation is transformed into beneficial price and asset deflation. Its a paradigm change in a single policy.

Finally, the answer to the cynic, which the banks are hoping you fall for is two fold: #1 we the individual and commercial agents other than the banks are many and they are few, and #2 the truest of political truism’s is: People vote their pocketbooks.

…by rebutting the biggest reason people reject what you’re saying. In this case the cynicism reply. Cynicism regarding the new monetary paradigm is the worst intellectual disease of modernity because its been acculturated since day one of civilization and stops action before its even begun. The answer to the cynic is this: Remember these two truths. First, the incredible benefits of the new monetary paradigm effect everyone and every economic agent both individual and commercial so those who would oppose it are few which means we have them wildly out numbered. Secondly, the truest of political truism’s applies and that is that people vote their pocket books.

They out economic democracy the socialists and out profitability the capitalists…because they are a true thirdness greater oneness resolving integration of those opposite perspectives. Strategic Monetary Gifting IS THE ANSWER to our economic instabilities and problems…and much much more, especially in bodies of knowledge and areas of human experience not related to money and economics.

Absolutely no argument with the fact that speculative excess and neo-classical economic theory combined with Trump’s failure to factor in a closing of the Strait of Hormus are leading us to apacalypse. But what if we implemented my policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate at regular consumer retail sale and the retail point of finance (everyone’s mortgage, insurance, automobile or other big ticket item’s monthly payment) and then in order to mitigate the additional consumption also implemented a “tax” of say 50% of utilized gifted purchasing power into 5-6% Eco-Energy R & D treasury bonds, IOW a gift of a guaranteed investment into ways of resolving the Eco-Energy crises we’re confronting???

And by the way lets hope this start up turns out to be the technological breakthrough we’re all hoping for: https://www.casimir.inc/tech?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
