Just as important as the new monetary and economic paradigm of Gifting is the wisdom, pinnacle concept and ethic of the philosophical concept of grace.

Grace is dynamic integrative balance in every respect including personal ethic and ecological awareness, and so require a personal sensitivity to such and policies that thoroughly align with it.

Grace is the best mental and temporal universe survival strategy.

Me:  Bob, Ellen and others, I salute Public Banking’s efforts. Finance is the structural key to resolving the money problems we face whether you begin it via the BND model or go directly to national banking as an affirmation of Occam’s razor. As cost cutting is always a valid economic thrust the elimination of usury/interest is also a correct thrust. I beseech you however to consider that what is necessary to hasten, deepen and make permanent the changes that Public Banking will enable is a change in the monetary and economic paradigm for the creation and form of credit-money’s distribution, namely Private Debt Creation and Cost Only that has plagued human civilization since its inception over 5000 years ago.

Paradigm changes are by definition dramatic and permanent changes so any argument against dramatic change is an argument against paradigm change and for mere reform.

Paradigm changes are also characterized by conceptual opposition (nomadism to homesteading) and inversions and transformations (terra-centrism to helio-centrism and in the present case monetary scarcity and systemic austerity to abundance of same).

Therefore the new monetary and economic paradigm is the change from Private Debt Creation and Cost Only to Publicly Administered Direct and Reciprocal Monetary Gifting. Bob’s book is an excellent historical and philosophical one and Charles Eisenstein’s book Sacred Economics is philosophically aligned with the new paradigm. What is required now is the continued efforts that Ellen and others have been making plus a concerted effort to market the permanent, dramatic and self interested changes for both the individual and enterprise that the new paradigm will bring into being.

The wisdom of an integrated effort for structural and paradigmatic change communicated to select large constituencies is what will bring us to the political tipping point necessary to make these changes our personal and systemic reality.

Me:  Carl,

I severely like your numbers and re-distributing them reflects the new paradigm of Gifting. However, to avoid the inevitability of inflation when an abundance of money is re-cycled into the economy which has an inherent scarcity of same and that by definition is chaotic because it has no bound to the lower end of costs or the upper bound of price it is necessary to provide a rational, ethical and effective means of controlling or reversing such. Such an alternative is best and politically most likely when it serves the interests of all agents as the ultimate survival occurence of a paradigm change does, and the dual policies of a universal dividend and a 50% percent discount/rebate at the point of sale throughout the entire legitimate economic/productive process does exactly that because it:

1) Takes, rational, ethical and unobtrusive control of the expression points for any and all forms of inflation (the points of sale and final retail sale) and in fact actually accomplishes what is currently considered impossible, namely painlessly and beneficially integrating price deflation into profit making systems.

2) By making the discount/rebate percentage 50% it immediately doubles everyone’s potential purchasing power which is stupendously and unprecedentedly great for the individual and for enterprise because enterprise suffers from the same scarcity of individual income…..as the indiviual does. Communicating this empirical fact is also the secret to making it politically acceptable to sane and reasonable people on both sides of the aisle. You’re just as sick and tired of being sick and tired of no real change occurring the same as everyone else here is my best guess so I would also bet that you can see the efficacy of an integrative political approach to communicating the general rational self interest in these paradigm changing policies.

One more thing. Spending or re-investing the monies in CAFRs makes sense regardless, but it is a form of “eating your own seed corn”. In other words when it comes time to repair/build new roads etc., without such funds being available the only way to create them is via the old paradigms of Debt Only and Re-distributive Taxation Only….unless you transcend these with Monetary Gifting and Direct Distribution….and then you can do so without taxation or inflation by implementing the above two policies.

The third rational and integrative alternative is always the signature of wisdom.

JR:  Carl, Ref. your “response” comment, that has been the situation in N Z for years.

In a world of increasingly obsessive, contentious and arrogant orthodoxies grace is indeed a third, new, transformative, creative, paradigm changing and wise concept….and existential experience.

Wisdom is the integration of opposites and their truths, workabilities, applicabilities and highest ethical considerations. This is why it is so valued and its insights are so deep compared to merely collecting data, theorizing or even using philosophy. As inductive and deductive thought are opposite forms of same, the unique ability to combine and utilize them both for greater and deeper insight is one of the signatures of wisdom and also grace-consciousness itself.

While wisdom is the integration of inductive and deductive thought, paradigm perception is the highest level of induction, in other words it is the recognition of a specific single concept that fits seamlessly within an entire pattern, transforms the nature and realities of old structures and actually creates a thirdness greater oneness that is also an entirely new pattern. Trinity Unity Oneness has always been the signature of wisdom’s integrative conclusions, paradigm perception-change and of grace-consciousness itself. This is because a component part of paradigm perception is consciousness itself.

Only consciousness truly transforms and creates anew. That is why it is so powerful, and also why wisdom and contemplation are so important in paradigm perception because they facilitate the self actualization of consciousness.

There are so many philosophical alignments between Sacred Economics and Wisdomics-Gracenomics that they are basically perfectly aligned.  What Wisdomics-Gracenomics does is additionally integrate the engineer’s perspective into the economy and money system with policies that elevate it to the level of paradigm change.

Here’s the secret to resolving the problematic state of the economy and money system:

When you take rational, ethical, unobtrusive and beneficially effective control of the pricing system by making it solidly price deflationary….it is almost irrelevant how much money you can pour into it, and empoweringly place directly into the many hands of the individuals who inhabit it.

And that is because of both the digital natures of the pricing, debt based money system and of double entry bookkeeping….and the resolving power of the concept of grace as in monetary gifting

Steve Hummel 08/28/2018

….it simply exists at the quantum level without a means for its expression, and we are the temporal universe vehicle for same.

As the sages of yore and those who have contemplated themselves and the temporal universe adequately have attested, the deep experience of the moment is one of utter and ecstatic newness and oneness with whatever is the revelation before and about oneself.

Awareness of consciousness itself is its own best reward, and obliterates nothing but the delusion that we’re only separate, alienated, egoistic and absurd mistakes.

Study and contemplate grace-consciousness its aspects are the ultimate desideratum.

Research is fine, theorizing is fine, policy alignment with philosophy is wonderful…but paradigm perception is everything because a new paradigm is the discovered guide to all of the former which makes their determination a relatively simple, straightforward rational process.

The problem is that generally paradigm perception requires additional mental tools than are necessary with research, theorizing and even philosophy. That mental tool is the integrative process also known as wisdom and an awareness of wisdom’s pinnacle concept, grace as in the ultimate integration of only the truthful factors in opposites which results in a thirdness and simultaneous greater oneness. An aspect or aspects of grace is the concept behind every human healthiness, every permanent positive change known as paradigms and, if properly looked at and understood, is also the actual ongoing state of the cosmos.

Lets Make America Wise For Once….so we can recognize and have the new monetary and economic paradigm of Direct and Reciprocal Monetary Gifting, so we are no longer dominated by the current monetary and economic paradigm of Debt Only that continually builds up and enslaves nearly everyone domestically and forces us to pursue an agressive foreign policy that would be entirely unnecessary with the new paradigm, so we can have civil discourse that integrates and solves our domestic problems instead becoming obsessively caught up in only stupid and destructive partisanism. Let’s make America wise for once by self actualizing a full philosophical understanding of the pinnacle concept of wisdom, namely grace as in love in action, in our relationships and in every one of our systems.
