One’s own consciousness is the single thing that is ever present in every person’s life. The state of your consciousness monitors your purposes, creativity, productiveness and general happiness, and graciousness, which is the complete integration of your personal experience of love and your expression of love in the world, is the single thing that can effectively defeat one’s own flaws and the inevitable vicissitudes of Life.

Therefore the cultivation of Wisdom, which again is the process of cultivating love and its pinnacle experience and expression, Grace, is not only of the utmost importance, but the epitome of practical and intelligent living.

When an unbearably unethical systemic condition meets an ignorance and/or refusal to honor Wisdom so that the resolution of that humanly unbearable state cannot become a reality, then self destruction is the inevitable result.

Wisdom, which is the process of cultivating consciousness, love and love’s active and creative form in the world, grace, must become the pursuit of our leadership and the demand placed upon them by every citizen.

….the former is a responsibility, the latter is mistaken moralistic duncery.

Because they are valid ways of cutting costs and increasing individual prosperity, because they integrate both micro and macro-economic cost cutting and because they reduce the necessity of finance which is the primary problematic macro-economic factor in increasing costs and which is currently the only way that the economy avoids continuous recession if not depression.

No single business model should have the right, the ability and the power to dominate every other business model and probably 95% of the general populace. It’s unfair, unethical and stupid on its face. And any economist, politician, financier or pundit who cannot get behind the above specific policies in order to remedy these obvious human wrongs….deserves your scorn.

Me:  Excellent reply Wally. Stingel’s book is obviously biased and a slanderous pack of lies. What no one can deny is that Douglas’s policy prescriptions in still incomplete forms like “a modern debt jubilee” and QE For The People are unconsciously creeping back into vogue….because they were based on the correct analysis and were placed at the most strategic point in the economic process. That doesn’t occur without knowledge and wisdom which Douglas had in spades…and I will never let latter day experts claim their policies are new or original.

…that obsessive contention makes them part of the problem, and that integration of opposing truths and simultaneous deletion of opposing untruths is the solution. Integration is Wisdom. Obsessive contention is merely semi-conscious orthodoxy in disguise. Well considered resistance to flaw and untruth is not obsessive, and is understandable on both sides, but orthodoxies always have untruths, blindness and unconsciousness in them. Wisdom-Integration is of only truths, only workabilities and of only the highest ethical considerations.  When in doubt integrate!

President Trump and the American people are inevitably going to lose because neither the orthodoxies of the right or left are up to the task of resolving our problems. Trump is counseled by Steve Bannon who believes in a sketchy historic theory called The Fourth Turning, and who counsels Trump to participate in a destructive and counterfeit trinity-unity known as force, flux and “Progress” as in take more power. Trinity-Unity is indeed the correct intellectual, philosophical and non-provincially spiritual concept that is necessary for the resolution of our systemic problems, but it is the trinity-Unity of Faith as in Confidence, Hope and Love both within oneself and its active form in the temporal universe also known as Grace. Now there is a concept with a real and transformative pedigree.

Presently the money system is basically an enforced Banking accounting cycle of Debt distribution to an agent and its reciprocal repayment to the Bank.  It is a digital/Debit-Credit system that has been with us for over 400 years and is an excellently workable one.

With the new monetary and economic paradigm of direct and reciprocal monetary Gifting being integrated into this system new receivers of reciprocality are created, namely the individual and every business model. This enables a more democratic distribution of credit/purchasing power, ends the currently enforced and dominating Financial/Monetary paradigms of Debt, Loan and For Production Only,  resolves the present inherently cost inflationary economic system and costlessly transforms it for all agents.

Neither the compromisers, nor the extremists ever have the full and complete answer. It is always the innovators and integrators in cooperation with the new paradigm perceivers who are able to provide such.

Also, this fits perfectly in The Cosmic Code:

[ (Innovators x Integrators)  <–>  New Paradigm Perceivers ]

that the economic, monetary and political systems need a complete re-boot/paradigm change? Witness the present healthcare debate in the House. There is no longer any compromise that is able to satisfy either of the two parties…or even the party that wants desperately to change the current system. In fact compromise is itself now impossible. What is required is something entirely different called integration of the truths of opposing theories. Even single payer is a non-starter, not because it wouldn’t be an improvement, but because it would be an inclusion of an untruth regarding the system’s actual problem (that re-distributing a scarcity can result in the resolution of that scarcity) which violates the rules of an actual integration, and is also unworkable because it is anathema to both the political majority and to an already over burdened business community and populace. The true means of resolving the issue is the same one that would resolve the monetary system….the integration of a new paradigm of direct monetary Gifting to the individual and also to enterprise.

When neither orthodox reaction nor compromise will any longer work….an actual integration becomes the only option.
