Me:  All that you say about neo-liberal macro is true. In addition economists, who could get their degrees without taking so much as an elementary course in accounting, have also lost track of total actual costs accumulating moment to moment and their increasing ratio to total individual incomes. Hence we see fixed capital assets and their depreciation costs accumulating for literally centuries while the easiest mark for increasing profits, labor costs, have steadily been raided. Now we have robotics and AI becoming increasingly disruptive economic forces that will reduce labor costs/aggregate individual demand especially for the mass of employees probably 30 times faster than it ever has before. And that is why monetary gifting must be integrated into our current monetary paradigm of Debt ONLY, for the individual and reciprocal price gifting to the consumer and then back to the merchant who gave the discount so that the productivity of innovation and AI is not diverted to the monopolistic business model of private finance.

DT:  Craig, I admire your summary of how much worse our problems are being made by robotics and AI, much as happened when steam powered factories enabled 19th century Britain to mass-produce surplus for international trade rather than use. In a way I’m also with you on the need for “monetary gifting”, but how is that going to resolve the problem of ” fixed capital assets and their depreciation costs accumulating for literally centuries”?

Me:  Viz the financial system perhaps we could have an integration of both partial and complete change in that the particle of truth of the current system, Debt, is integrated with an entirely new financial idea, Gifting, and this integration is so deep and sweeping that an actual third system arises out of it. This way the virtual financial monopoly of credit creation curiously enjoyed by private finance would be balanced, and additionally the complete restriction on the idea and vehicle of that creation, Debt and Loan Only, would be balanced by Gifting as well.

Dave, I think the idea of integrating employment with more leisure is an excellent one. Number one, combined with monetary Gifting it would enable more rapid change in the economy and economic theory and number two it simultaneously begins a positive and constructive acculturation of leisure which is not idleness, but self determined and directed purposeful activity. Perhaps we could also have an integrated effort by government, the helping professions and the clergy in making individuals aware of the multitude of positive, constructive and satisfying purposes available to them in addition to employment.

I think we should embrace the financial and economic effects of innovation and AI. Technology has been trying to lift the so called “curse of Adam” for centuries, and embracing that fact along with monetary Gifting could enable not only resource efficiencies but actual resource reductions. And even though with Gifting I’m sure we would see an increase in consumption at first (the reality even in advanced economies is relative austerity for a large majority) rather quickly I think we’d see a balancing there, especially if we are smart and comprehensively emphasized man as homo sapiens sapiens, wise and discerning man as opposed to homo economicus.

[(Flow of Moments x Eternal Now/Present Moment) <–> Consciousness of Each Moment]

Yes, there is “tons” of money out there but ever increasingly less and less of it actually available to spend by THE individual/individuals….and this fact gums up the system. And economizing ALONE will never resolve this problem. It requires ADDITIONAL money going directly and immediately to the individual and a way for enterprise to survive as innovation and AI destroy the need for employment. That way both the individual and the system survive and thrive….and both can flow freely in a free flowing system.

Love and You’re free. Make Love your strongest intention and you’re free to responsibly control. Intend and create love within yourself first, last, underneath and always and you’ve discovered the secret to freedom, happiness, creativity, purpose, simultaneous groundedness and ascension and even grace in Life and Living.

To the intellect alone this is insipidness. To the integrated heart and mind it is grace. And to the conscious/saintly it is reality. Eureka! Hallelujah!

Trinity-Grace is about continuous process and completeness. It is also the pinnacle result of the process of Wisdom which is the integration of truth(s). Trinity-Grace is the concept of unity of opposites including the opposites of both self and the other, that is oneness. And applied oneness in the temporal/time universe is about the thirdness of the conscious union and simultaneous separateness of self and any other in and through time. In other two within three that is simultaneously and continuously One and separate.

And this is The Cosmic Code.

[ (Union x Separateness)  <–>  Conscious Understanding of Simultaneous Separateness and Union of the Realities of Monism/Oneness, Duality/Twoness and Trinity/Threeness ]

This also enlightens one to the integrated/integrative reality of the quantum and temporal/physical universes….which also results in the thirdness of consciousness itself/total conscious awareness in each moment.

“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.”

Mark Twain

Trinity-Unity-Oneness is generally expressed as process, flow and/or wholeness in the temporal/physical universe. It is also a Trinity-Unity-Onenesss in the Quantum universe except it is an utterly integrated non-temporal, non-local oneness.

Trinity-Unity-Oneness is the basic, underlying state and condition of both universes, and this state is described and expressed by The Cosmic Code.

That is up from Debt only to Debt and Gifting. Minsky’s observation that the fundamental direction of capitalism is up is correct. Now all it needs is to be integrated with is Wisdom whose fundamental direction is both depth and ascension.  Integration is the very process of Wisdom and integrating Debt and monetary grace as in Gifting, which is the pinnacle concept of Wisdom, is the precise paradigm changing idea around which policy needs to be crafted.

The cycle of the temporal/physical universe is a process of Start, Change and Stop. Everything in that universe will follow that tripartite process. Individual consciousness practices the process of reaching out to experience the temporal universe (or its own universe), experiencing it and then withdrawing from it. Both of these are tripartite processes and both reflect the realities of the quantum universe, the latter being virtually the same as the reality of the quantum universe. Now this process is simultaneously a unitary whole in every moment as well. On the quantum level this is an utterly integrated/integrative-ongoing tripartite reality of creation, counter creation and un-creation which is actually a continuously creative/creating process. In the physical universe this is experienced as a moment and as the flow of moments experienced, focusedly and consciously to one  degree and at one level or another. The point is all three of these states are real and actual and simultaneously one, in other words an ongoing Trinity-Unity-Oneness….Process.
