Directness: A Major Aspect of Grace

Monetary policy is impotent because it is not direct to the individual via a universal dividend and also is not direct to the individual with a 50% discount to price at the point of retail sale and then reciprocally and fully rebated back to the enterprise by the monetary authority.

Hunters and Gatherers went from being round and about the land to directly attached to it with agriculture, homesteading and urbanization.

The Reformation was almost entirely about being coerced into salvation via the sacraments and the powerful recognition that having a direct relationship with god was possible, more personal and more empowering.

Directness. One of the major aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace, and the key to remedying the dis-empowering abstractionism of science and so to the acculturation of wisdom.

Pundits and economists: It’s the monetary, financial and economic paradigm, stupid.

Therefore Choose Life!

If we implemented the policy triad of a $1000/mo. universal dividend, a 50% Discount/Rebate monetary policy at the point of retail sale and replaced the private for profit banking, financial and monetary system with a non-profit publicly administered one you could enable a giant bottom up ability for individuals to purchase the best renewable energy consumer products and pull any stops on government/fiscal policies that would enable us to begin the mega projects necessary to save ourselves and most every other species on the planet….with post haste.

We face life or death. Therefore, choose life!

Me:   Space-Time is the moment experienced directly/consciously.

The keys to discovering a new paradigm are:

1) recognizing that coming into a new unit of time, i.e. experiencing space-time as an actual new personal reality is at least half of the battle won so far as paradigm perception is concerned

2) conceptual opposition to current actual realities and/or to current orthodoxies

3) discovery of a new tool and/or insight

4) having the personal will and courage to express what #1 enables and #’s 2 and 3 reveal.

5) recognizing that #1 is a paradigm shift itself of inestimable power, to wit: the kingdom of heaven is within and “Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

And please, PLEASE don’t make the personal and scientifically arrogant assumption that #5 is a religious statement. Religion is grasping for stasis. Wisdom is process, dynamic, interactive and integrative mental free flow.

GC:  Now we are discussing reality. The next step after noticing high and low is description of a society that is healthy. more fun and leaves room for the rest of Nature.

Me:  “Now we are discussing reality. The next step after noticing high and low is description of a society that is healthy. more fun and leaves room for the rest of Nature.”

The philosophical concept of grace, which is the active/expressive form of love, is the pinnacle concept of wisdom. It is also the true nature of full human consciousness and the best (not yet fully recognized) expression of temporal universe reality.

As policy is the active/expressive form of systems such concept would seem to be a great one to base an economic system on, and any and all other systems as well no doubt.

The correct course would be to contemplate the various and utterly pregnant aspects of grace while comparing these with any and all scientific insights and finally, always keeping in mind that wisdom is depth and breadth of knowledge, the mentally integrative process itself and of truths, workabilities, applicabilities and highest ethical concepts of APPARENT opposites.

The Department of The Bullt Pulpit and The Ruination of Anyone or Any Entity Who Tries To Game or Destabilize An Economy and Money System Based On Grace….At Least Until They Wake up, Get The Ethic of Grace Clear In Their Minds and “Repent and Sin No More.”

That is exactly what needs to become the next new and big government Department. Point the finger at the greedy, the selfish, the unethical and their actions and end their economic and financial ambitions. If they repent and prove their repentance, then mercy and cease and desist and watch their actions until trust can be fully returned.

Benevolence and the power of sovereignty are both aspects of grace-consciousness.

Patterns/Paradigms Are The Supreme and Undoubted Form of Progress

No caution, no critique of the new paradigm holds water or is even relevant. Yes, there will be regulatory changes with the new paradigm, but only those that align with and re-inforce it. Why? Because a new paradigm is such a universally beneficial and progressive leap forward for everyone and regarding everything in the body of knowledge/area of human endeavor in which the new paradigm applies. This is confirmed by history and by the definition of a new paradigm itself which is an entire PATTERN change. It’s not a specific reform although specific changes will take place, it is a single concept that changes EVERYTHING ABOUT the pattern.

Mega Paradigm Change Is Our Only Hope

When you no longer have to worry about the small fry issues like recession, inflation or unemployment due to the universal dividend, 50% Discount/Rebate monetary policy at retail sale and you also have a truly national publicly administered banking, financial and monetary system that serves all economic agents individual and commercial in the most cost effective way….then you could have a government that truly had no unnecessary barriers to taking on the mega projects for ecological sustainability, energy conservation and insuring the affordability of the consumer products that would assist in that process from the bottom up.

Mega paradigm change is our only hope.

Me:  Hudson’s research is good of course, but his solutions, precisely like China’s “capitalism with Chinese Characteristics”, are still elitist affirming and empowering and so are still old paradigm. We have to be smarter, wiser and more ethical than the ancients and change the entire monetary, economic and financial PATTERN/PARADIGM from scarcity/austerity to abundance, from religious to wisdom/self actualization, from elitist to distributist, from work to purpose and from unconsciousness of culture to full consciousness of same.

And the best way to begin that urgently necessary process is not only a “modern debt jubilee” and universal dividend but the paradigm changing 50% Discount/Rebate monetary policy at the point of retail sale and followed logically with wisdom aligned regulations and structural changes. And such gracious-wise-lovING policies need be ASSISTED by government NOT paternally held down and dominated by it.
The last mega paradigm change was from Hunting and Gathering to Agriculture-Homesteading-Urbanization. A mega paradigm change is one that changes a pattern in which EVERYONE is continually and personally involved each and every day.

J:  Ellen –

   I want to insert an idea for your feedback and the broad wisdom of the public banking group.
   I think that a scheduled debt jubilee is unworkable, because, who would lend me money in year 48, knowing that in year 49 he would lose all?  I fear that as the jubilee year approached, the whole economy would freeze up.
   My proposed solution is to make the jubilee a random event. Every day, a lottery is conducted and the probability is one in (365 * 49) that all debts are immediately canceled. There are technical problems, I admit, in agreeing on a random number that cannot be rigged by those with a powerful incentive to rig it.  But I’m confident this is a problem that can be solved by the same kind of technology invented for blockchain.
   Here’s another kind of problem: What kinds of debt are canceled in the jubilee? If I have a bank account, then, as you have taught me, I am the creditor and the bank is my debtor. Do banks get to keep all their deposits with Debt Jubilee? Are all corporate and municipal bonds nullified with Debt Jubilee? More generally, there is a danger that the prospect of a debt jubilee will motivate people to hoard their assets in whatever form won’t be reached. Certainly this will birth an industry in investments that grow, but with no risk of jubilee annulment. As my grandmother used to say, “oy vey”.

Me:  Josh,

In a present debt jubilee only personal debt would be eligible for elimination.  It’s private/individual debt that is the problem not corporate and government debt. You could put in a regulation like debt taken on say 6 months before the lead up to jubilee was not eligible for jubilee. In the new paradigm with a truly national banking and monetary system that funded both government and the economy there would be no reason or need for profit and so everyone could refinance at 0%. In the new paradigm it’s not the state that would “wither away” but the real problem,  profit making and dominating finance. Tax hell out of irrational, unhealthy and ecologically insane elements of the economy and incentivize that which is good, wise and gracious.
Me:  Paradigm changes are always accompanied by a new insight and/or new tool. The paradigm changing insight of the power to completely invert individual purchasing power scarcity and systemic monetary austerity into abundance of same with direct and reciprocal monetary gifting at the point of retail sale is just such an insight and policy tool.  Paradigm changes always explode present paradigm orthodoxies like “Government is always bad and corrupt”, “Monetary austerity is good monetary and economic policy” and “re-distributive taxation is the only way to attain economic democracy and prevent inflation”.

Reforms are piecemeal and easily reversed. Everything adapts to a new paradigm NOT the other way around.
