General equilibrium has obviously been dead since 2008. While Stiglitz and virtually every other heterodox economist has recognized this they still ignore the keystone structural problem, the glaringly contradictory monopolistic dominance of the business model of finance, their virtual monopoly on credit creation and their complete monopoly on the monetary paradigm, that is, debt and loan only. No this is not to suggest the end of interest or the destruction of finance or any other reactionary nonsense. It is the suggestion that we create a legitimately opposing monetary paradigm of gifting thus creating a real duality that is actually able to be consciously and intelligently integrated into profit making systems so that a third and unified economic theory can arise out of it.

Grace/Consciousness: The Experience

The experience of Grace/consciousness itself, its full power, depth of understanding and breadth of perception cannot be underestimated. The experience itself does not guarantee continuing enlightenment, but generally places one inexorably on the road toward it. There are many things, many ideas, emotions, attitudes that must be integrated after one gets on that road as well as education regarding Grace/consciousness and its many aspects. There are general descriptions of Grace/consciousness, its intense experience of the moment, the newness and utter vibrancy of experience of present time perceptions as if one was experiencing them for the very first time, the three dimensional almost palpable experience of space and the equally palpable experience of the solidity of objects at a distance. Other more mental aspects of Grace/consciousness become more real as one studies and contemplates them, how they are integrated into one’s experience, and a purification of flawed thinking, personal biases, out ethics situations, and various non-integrative thinking one has accumulated from life and living, their culture and upbringing. All of these aspects are important, but the three most important are understanding that wisdom is the process of the integration of the truths etc. of opposites, that love is the very state of the cosmos and that Grace is love in action internally and externally.

Integration/Integrating…..Everything

The more you integrate the more you approach Grace. Integrate everything. Integrate the economy and money systems. Integrate all of your opinions, all of your problems, all experiences you have, every perception, thought, emotion and action you create. Integration is the process of Wisdom itself and will make you wise. Grace is the pinnacle concept and experience of Wisdom and will make you gracious and our systems graceful and flowing.  Grace is love in action and acting continually with grace/graciousness is love expressed in every mental and temporal action. Love is the real point of life and living and Grace is the means of attaining and maintaining love internally and externally.

We must learn integration. What it is, what are its rules and actual component parts, that it is mental and temporal acting with love, that it is wisdom and hence not some “airy fairy” naivete, but the best and complete integration of the ideal, the practical and the ethical.

Obsessive/unconscious contention is folly, the third way of integrating the truths, workabilities, applicabilities and best ethical considerations of the opposing sides of any argument, any theory, and any condition is wisdom….and wisdom must become our intention, our actions and our goals….in everything…until everything about us is a discerning thirdness which is also a loving and unified oneness!

Wisdom Is Wise…Always

Wisdom is never naive or “airy fairy”, otherwise it wouldn’t be wisdom. Wisdom is always the best integration of the ideal and the practical. Read proverbs and contemplate them, and this will become more and more apparent to you.
