Trinity-Unity-Oneness/Grace is the ultimate paradigm because it recognizes and affirms all basic realities as actual and real, but understands that the state of Trinity-Unity-Oneness is the unifying concept and experience that is most fully real.

can see the truth(s) in both sides of the duality and chooses to act to create policies that effect aspects of the philosophical concept of grace….the philosophical concept of grace being the exact and ultimate third way concept as in Trinity-Unity-Oneness.

If one believes that the economy is in a continual/inherent state of enslaving disequilibrium, would it not be more logically consistent to pursue policies that would effect a continually freeing disequilibrium….rather than try to enforce policies that  would at best effect a static/momentary but not continual equilibrium? Wouldn’t the former policies be more consistent with temporal reality in which there is no stopping of the flow of time? Wouldn’t the former also be more scientific as science is the correct observation of the temporal/time flowing universe in which we all live?  And wouldn’t such policies actually free both humans who can only experience the temporal universe as it is now….and in the flow of every proceeding now….and also businesses which are completely and inextricably embedded in the time flow of the temporal universe?

MS:  You Can’t Negotiate Religion

Me:  You’re right that you can’t negotiate religion. However, Spirituality which is the rational contemplation and discussion of the ideas and experiences behind religion can be….discussed. Then it’s just a matter of correct choice between opposites like freedom or enslavement. Of course regarding things like economics, money systems and trade….one must remain open minded about the exact policies that will create freedom and free flowingness….given the present and continuing moment to moment state of those systems.  If the state unhindered and left to itself is disequilibrium it requires action/policies to restore equilibrium….or even “a higher disequilibrium” that would improve both individual freedom and systemic free flowingness.

There has to be, and is, a third way other than a redux of the same old tired liberalism or equally tired conservatism. It will take an integration of the truths in the above two ideologies…and a deletion of their untruths that yields a new, a genuinely new economic idea, philosophy and aligned policies to accomplish that. When the old orthodoxies are no longer workable it’s stupid if not insane to keep trying to use them….alone. The mark of paradigm change is that old structures aren’t necessarily abandoned, unless they are part and parcel of the problem itself, but rather the new idea enables a transformation of them. Agriculture did not stop or eliminate hunting and gathering it transformed them and enabled more production. The new idea we require will not stop or eliminate finance or profit making systems it will transform them while enabling a genuine balance of production and consumption….and if acculturated properly will also do so utilizing less net resources.

The question we should be asking ourselves is what idea, what concept marked the change from hunting and gathering?

Intellect fills the mind, Wisdom clarifies and clears it of fragmented thinking and Spirituality awakens, deepens and broadens the ability of the creator of the mind to experience, to act with love and grace, to create, to enjoy and to know itself.

Dialectical Materialism

[ (Thesis x Antithesis)    Synthesis ]  Leaves out consciousness/spirituality thus degenerating back into mere Duality of conflict theory.  (Note: Trinity-Unity-Oneness in the economic sphere of course is wisdom thus the model is correct, but the true synthesis of capitalism and socialism is not hierarchical and tyrannical communism but rather the gracious and directly distributive policies of a universal dividend and a retail discount that enable and encourage profit, abundant economic freedom and monetary democracy and hence systemic free flowingness.)

Balance of Power/Geo-political Financial/Economic foreign policy

[ (Force x Counter Force)  Balance of Power ]  Ignores historical realities/temporal instability of war resulting from continual threat of force/contention

[ (Finance capitalism x State socialism)    Conflict, Non-integrative strategies ]  Reverts to mere Duality/Dualism, Trinity-Unity-Oneness never actually comes to reality.

Getting hung up in mere dualism is the modern and historical curse. Mere dualism has become such a religion in science and has been such a religion in spirituality for so long that you’d think we’d get tired of it. Ah, but we love problems, apparently much more than we do solutions. Why is that? Well, a solution is a stop, and a problem persists so its continuousness….of a problem. We don’t like stopping. We don’t actually like continuous problems either. So why not try the Trinity-Unity-Oneness-Process of Start, Change and Stop, actually the process of Starting, Changing and Stopping. Or:

[ (Starting x Stopping)  <–>  Changing ] = Process

or

[ (Starting  + Changing)  + Stopping ] = Trinity-Unity-Oneness-Process-Action

Everything is Trinity-Unity-Oneness. The mere Duality of  Consciousness versus missing-dismissing-invalidating Consciousness is a kind of negative Spirituality/Religiosity that degenerates into religion on both sides. Integrate the truths in the two thoroughly and embrace the resulting Trinity-Unity-Oneness.

A genuine third way is always what is needed, and is hard to understand by those who are unconsciously habituated to one or another of dueling orthodoxies. This is very likely to be the case with Trump and undoubtedly would have been the same with Hillary. Until we decide we’ve had enough of the blue smoke and mirrors of false dualities and demand an actual integrative third way we will stumble around in the dark and go around in circles. I wouldn’t hold my breath for any politician to recognize such a third way. A much faster route to change would be a movement to sell both structural and paradigmatic third ways to the interested constituencies of business and the individual. Then the pols will follow.

Religion/Spirituality is as natural as the grass, the rocks and the trees because it has been around….forever, or at least as long as Man has been conscious. Stop trying to ignore it, invalidate it, bitching about it or substituting half assed counterfeits of it. Embrace it, live it, let it profoundly deepen and broaden your every experience by imbuing it with love and graciousness. That’s when you’ll find your way home and the way out of the idiocies that will confuse and hypnotize you with their untruths, half truths and endless contentious debating of same. And apply natural spirituality to science so it escapes the same orthodox and dualistic trap it has fallen into. Good science is open minded science and the signature of scientific breakthrough is the integration of the scientific method with an aspect or aspects of consciousness. Wake up! Break up your intellectual, scientific and spiritual fallow ground and discover and practice the third way. It’s the way out of the boring trap so many of you have fallen into.
