The Wisdom of Grace: The One Thing That Hasn’t Changed, and The One Thing That Will Create More Graciousness Than Ever Before

Because grace is loving, that is, the active expression of love which is the universally recognized superlative human concept and experience and such action creates and re-inforces more graciousness/loving.

And the one most efficacious way to create the most grace is to find a way to evoke it in a universally necessary and participated in system…like the economy for instance with reciprocal price and monetary policy of gifting with a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale. Talk about a mega-paradigm change.

The Two Basic Monetary and Economic Problems

  1. The current monopolistic monetary paradigm that compels all new money to be created as Debt ONLY.
  2. The “free” market theoretical framework of macro-economics is a) delusional and a fetishization of the concept of freedom/freeness into TOTAL FREEDOM which b) morphs it into chaos/the actual absence of known and enforceable barriers which c) ignores the fact that in the human universe ethics not only matter but matter MOST and finally d) enables private finance to dominate and “control” the entire system and all economic agents with problem #1 above.

These two problems must be solved, NOT ignored, invalidated or palliated, and the way to resolve them is to analyze conceptually/paradigmatically and then discern the most efficacious ways to APPLY the new concept/paradigm…because history shows us that concepts rule and APPLIED new concepts resolve both mental and temporal universe/systemic problems.

The Paradigm of Retail Price/Exchange

The Consumer/recipient of goods and services ALONE must pay full price…or more. And again the point of exchange is retail price…and the retail point of Finance is one’s mortgage, auto or other big ticket item’s monthly payment. So a 50% Discount/Rebate at that point changes/breaks up the monopolistic nature of that present paradigm the same as it does for regular consumer goods.

Money Creation Via Double Entry Bookkeeping Is Money Creation…

…what matters though is the paradigm concept of its creation which also creates its temporal universe reality, and of course how efficaciously it is distributed. Like with a policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale which is:

  1. a reciprocal gift of price dramatically and mathematically doubling individual purchasing power,
  2. which transforms chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation,
  3. which is a way to continuously implement both price and debt jubilee into the very fabric of the economic process, and last but most importantly, because everyone participates in or is effected by the price at retail sale, would be
  4. the greatest opportunity to self actualize gratitude for a gift since meditation and prayer.

Strategic Monetary Gifting, the next mega-paradigm change.

Systemic/Scientific/Reductive analysis is all well and good and Dr. Keen’s use of these is excellent. However, doing so doesn’t penetrate to the deepest and most powerful level which is the conceptual/paradigmatic level. As Einstein said: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler”. Well, we know that paradigms are single concepts that create new mental and temporal universe realities. THATS SIMPLE, POWERFUL, DEEP AND PERMANENT CHANGE…unlike systemic analysis alone which without recognizing the current paradigm and implementing the new core and operant concept will never achieve more than palliative reforms or worse yet get morphed into something like delusive neo-classical economic theory.

To analyze paradigmatically you have to get past some mental hurdles like acculturative unconsciousness, the egoistic tendency to frame everything as a duality only IOW only morally right and wrong instead of ethically…since ethics are the rational consideration of morals…and thinking with the mindset of trinity/thirdness greater oneness because Wisdom/the mindset of integrating opposites in order to find solutions to apparently unresolvable dualities…has always been associated with “the third way”. Finally, you have to get inside of the primary new paradigm concept itself and look for additional reinforcing aspects of it that will stabilize and increase its reality and workability. Kepler’s discovery of elliptical orbits instead of perfect circles was what really made helio-centrism more accurate than geo-centrism for instance. Viz the new monetary and economic paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting which ends the current monopoly paradigm of Debt Only as the sole form and vehicle for the creation and distribution of all new money, this would be looking at the additional monopoly paradigm of The Consumer Alone Must Be The ONLY Agent To Pay Full Price. Break that monopoly up by having the government or central bank pay for 50% of the price of everything at retail sale with new MONEY instead by Debt ONLY…and you transform chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation, double everyone’s purchasing power…and make debt jubilee continual instead of a one off that doesn’t actually solve the Debt ONLY paradigm because it leaves the private banks in control of it.

Strategic Monetary Gifting (not money MONOPOLISTICALLY created ONLY AS DEBT)

1) resolves all of these political stupidities

2) also resolves our stickiest and deepest economic problems like chronic inflation, chronic insufficient demand

3) enables us to reduce or eliminate several bureaucracies

4) cut taxes

5) enable libertarianism’s delusions to become the reality

Look at it. It won’t kill you.

Why History Repeats Itself

  1. Because we have not realized that the present zeitgeist is Power, Profit and Control,
  2. that it has been in effect for the entire history of the human species,
  3. that without a higher ethic power, profit and control are inevitably problematic and so
  4. the new zeitgeist we need to recognize is Grace as in Redeemed/Redemptive Power, Profit and Control.

And the next and most important step in this change is implementing the new monetary and economic paradigm of Grace as in Strategic Monetary Gifting via a policy of a 50% Discount/Rebate at retail sale…because everyone participates in and/or is effected by money and the economy and hence doing so with this new policy would be the greatest opportunity to self actualize gratitude for a gracious gift of price since meditation and prayer.

The Short, Short Course In Paradigmology and Wisdom

New paradigms are always in complete logical and conceptual opposition to the present anomalous paradigm. They are also integrations of opposites to the point of being thirdnesses greater onenesses also known as syntheses. They are deep resolving simplicities and in this respect they are exactly synonymous with wisdom insights. Finally, it can be seen that the beneficial effects of every historical paradigm change have always been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace.

Discern the present paradigm concept. Then determine its logical and conceptually opposing concept and where, when, how and ethically why to best apply it to the system(s) under analysis by becoming aware of as many of the relevant aspects of the philosophical concept of grace as you can.
