Fully consciously conceiving and perceiving the wholeness, significance and comprehensiveness of the pattern that is a paradigm requires a mental discipline inclusive of but epistemologically larger than science. The reason for this? A paradigm is a new conscious realization within oneself. It’s not just a different idea alone, (novelty) a new slant on old ideas/the old paradigm (reform) a new organization of factors (theory) or even a new organization of ideas (philosophy). It is not just science applied, which routinely has become a mental discipline that not only does not include consciousness….but rejects it.

Thus it has become a stumbling block, not the otherwise useful tool that has enabled a great deal of temporal, but now only temporal progress….especially when in the present case in economics and money systems a new paradigm….the essential component of which is a new conscious personal realization….has become necessary.

Wisdom and its tools is the necessary mental discipline to remedy science’s shortcomings all the while including science’s tools as well. The insights of the world’s major wisdom traditions and their disciplines/techniques were the science and scientists of their day. An excellent example of this is the zen Buddhist tool of giving the new/overly glib novitiate a koan which is a question that the rational mind cannot resolve…..and yet intensively meditated upon often results in a new insight of wholeness, oneness/significance and comprehensiveness…in other words the definition and component parts of a paradigm…including personal consciousness.

Science since approximately the 14th century has increasingly dominated consciousness and set before us great productivity and insight into the physical universe only…..or so orthodox science assumes.

Science can once again become Wisdom and instead of being a stumbling block to it, enable paradigm perception at a time when it is absolutely necessary….for further progress. 

And this is the postulate and the various insights of Wisdomics-Giftonomics. 

Integrate upwardly, outwardly and spiritually.  In other words ascend the scale of epistemology, move to the next mentally inclusive concentric circle and focus on experience not dogma.

There isn’t so much a “deep state” as there is an obscured one, and recognizing the new monetary and economic paradigm exposes it, clarifies the social and political path forward and focuses that effort.

What we need is leisure which is self determined attentive activity…NOT idleness, sloth etc.

Leisure collectively would get us a lot more things like art, innovation, in all likelihood scientific breakthrough, with a modicum of enablement and encouragement a chance at developing a culture of contemplation and a load of other positive human fruits that might help us express our actual species designation of homo sapiens, i.e. wise and discerning man…instead of the failed and enforced experiment of homo economicus.

And a paradigm change in the economic and monetary system could make leisure and its fruits a virtual fait accompli.

Macro-economics is a study which cannot find the answer to our economic problems so long as it treats private finance as a legitimate money creating business model. So the chant of some macro-economists that neo-classical economics is unreal because it does not include money, debts and private banks…is only 2/3 true.

Why? Because for big ticket items like autos, mortgages and large leveraged speculations the money creation power of private finance….is post retail sale…and yet retail sale is the terminal end of the valid economic/productive process. Hence private finance’s money creating power is an exogenous, parasitical and extremely costly additional set of costs post retail sale. 

The only way to remedy this is to keep the money creating power endogenous but publicly distributed. That way the profit motive for finance is able to be eliminated because a government is not an economic institution.  And even the costs for finance itself can be eliminated as a sovereign government creates money out of nothing and can directly create and distribute it itself to fund all government services…including loans without interest, universal dividends and rebated credit for discounts at the point of retail sale.

Note:  Financial services that do not include money creation could be legitimate retail products.

Top to bottom:

Ethic/Zietgeist: Current: Mere Power New: Power and Grace

Monetary Paradigm: Current: Debt Only New: Monetary Gifting

Philosophy: Current: Control New: Freedom

Theory: Current: Ideological Justification New: Integration of Opposing Truths

Policy: Current: Contention/Non-Resolution New: Resolution

Regulation: Current: Capture By Elite Vested Interest New: Encouragement and Discouragement Based on Both The New Zeitgeist and Paradigm and a Human Individual Model

Note: Regulation is the systemic way of attempting to deal with anti-social and/or other counter intentions to an ethic, paradigm, philosophy etc. …in real time.

A new governmental department that will research and proactively distribute innovations to industry, and will also recommend financing of new start ups by the NCO (National Credit Office) in any industries that chronically inflate their costs/prices in anti-social counter intention to the new paradigm of Monetary Gifting.

….general equilibrium, but rather about what I refer to as the higher disequilibrium. You simply have to implement and link monetary policy with sufficient abundance to a particular point in the economy…and voila!…nearly every other thing falls into alignment with that policy and only requires similarly aligned lesser policies and regulation in every area of the economy that is simply a straightforward rational process.

Once about 45 years ago, when I was working the “graveyard shift” as a security guard at the entrance of a campground in a tiny guard shack that measured about 4 feet by 5 feet, in my boredom I took a piece of yellow ledger paper and made a hash mark for every separate “thing” I could experience around me. By the time I stopped I had over 1250 hash marks. Thing is though, when I got to about 250 I started noticing that the space around me was becoming almost palpable. Also, I didn’t see anything quantitatively different than what I normally saw it, but qualitatively colors and sounds became so much more vibrant and distinct that it was remarkable. Eventually the thing that became the most remarkable was that my sense of self awareness itself became very, very real and a sense of serenity accompanied it. Even to this day I can sit and experience the palpability of space and the vibrancy of colors. Call it satori, grace, atonement or samadhi its an experience available to each human being if they look….to see.

….the problematic current monopolistic monetary paradigm of Debt Only and its enforcers the private banks instead of actually resolving that dominating and unethical problem with the new paradigm of Monetary Gifting….then declare it out loud.

And remember, actually solving the problem with only two policies of the new paradigm accomplishes far, far more of the best aspects of the agendas of both the left and right economic perspectives….than they separately or together have been able to do for at least a hundred years.
