Choose, Decide to end the never ending fight between capitalism and socialism! Choose, decide to integrate their truths and best aspects and create a third more free, more profitable and more stable system! Choose, Decide to apply grace as in gifting to the economic and monetary systems!

The problem is we have 1) financial monopoly, and the consequent economic instability, 2) a coalescence of monopolistic financial integration while the economic disintegration continues and 3) dueling rigid and arrogant orthodoxies regarding the resolution of the economic and financial monopoly.

Thus we have 1) present monopoly 2) trending monopoly and 3) dualistic refusal to even consider a third way that integrates the particle of truth in both sides and thus ends the financial monopoly. Thus we have stops on 3 above, that is Starting,  2 above, Changing and 1 above, Stopping/ending the key and basic economic problem, namely the financial monopoly.

Finally, we could have a continual process of Starting, Changing and Stopping while being “boiled in oil” via a slow deflationary trend of for decades that has many “hopeful”ups and hope destroying downs, the whole while remaining in the full stop monopolistic situation described above. This is what Finance probably hopes it can pull off, themselves making money all along exploiting every dip and tick.

Or we could enable markets to act as equilibrium theorists BELIEVE they do and thus have both wonderful prosperity for everyone and a general tendency toward equilibrium…..if we’d only 1) Start by dropping our BELIEF in general equilibrium and 2) Change by implementing a universal dividend and a retail discount. That way we could 3) Stop having a scarcity of demand, Stop having a financial monopoly that prevents a direct gift of money to the individual that resolves the scarcity of demand and Stop the oppressive burden on businesses of having to get full costs plus a profit while there is a systemic scarcity of demand.

When you actually look at the policies themselves and their effects it’s really a simple 1, 2, 3 process that serves 1) the individual, 2) systemic freedom and 3) the break up of the present virtual monopoly on credit creation and the absolute restriction on the vehicle for the distribution of credit, i.e. loan only and for production only.

Consciously and consciousness speaking that is what we do, at least when one gets into and practices integration on a continuing basis. Our consciousness can be and inherently is a seamless flow of awarenesses, perceptual flow and if awareness is integrating opposites in correct and honest ways is a seamless flow of transformations.

False and/or merely biased one sided Dualities (like orthodox liberalism and conservatism) and monopolies (absence of Duality/false Trinity-Unity/Onenesses parading themselves as complete truth like the business model of Finance) are NOT integrations nor are they integratable.  Only genuine/existing dualities/opposites/relevant dualities within triune processes /holistic descriptions are integrations/integratable and thus able to create Trinity-Unity-Onenesses.

There’s the temporal universe, one’s mental reaction to it and one’s self awareness/consciousness itself. If one never contemplates the third element they’re doomed to relative surface thinking and understanding no matter the education. This is really unfortunate because there is an infinity of depth and elevation in the third that infuses the second and elicits reflective action in the first.

Me:  An excellent understanding of both transcendent and temporally applied Grace Wally.

GM:  Because you asked. I answer that The only honest answer: “it depends.”  Imho. SC is  not the New Dispensation and not divinely inspired.  It looks good in paper, but so did the Holy Roman Empire.  Fallen nature Always finds a way down. So I am skeptical of this pseudomystical rhetoric, but if you want to make that case to politicians you will probably need buy-in and endorsement from recognized authorities on scripture, theology, etc.  In the US, thus might mean Billy Graham or Dr. Dobson or Pat Robertson, who have political movements and credibility behind them.  In Catholic regions, probably the hierarchical Church, whose teaching falls in deaf ears, often, here, and whom many in the South still see in Elizabethan terms.  The reality is that argumentum ad verecundiam works.  If Trump announced a SC proposal citing logic of Grace and quoting any of us,  the likely response would be, “Whodat?”. Considering that you want to make a frontal assault on what you call Puritanism, and the Puritans are heroic Pilgrims here, if you want to do it by propounding a novel interpretation of Grace, Faith & Works, you should probably enlist some strong, or at least credible,  allies.  I don’t see Moses standing on a hill with his arms up, do you? Which hill, where? Coincidentally, today the Mass Reading was Paul writing to the Thessalonians on the importance of working to ‘eat one’s own food.”
Chacun a son gout,

Me:  Unfortunately….I agree with almost all of what you say there with the proviso that new ideas, or even old ideas that are applied to new systems are the ones that have historically had the greatest and most positive effects. Like the historical events and movements I referenced in the other thread. Again, I’m not disagreeing, only pointing at the historical precedent of third ways/applications.

Note: The post on the other thread:

Me:  Yes, and memes that express new paradigms or aspects of same are potentially the most powerful. That’s why the idea of Grace the free gift changed the world spiritually in the first century, grace as in abundant knowledge with the Gutenberg press, Grace as in directness and freedom in the Reformation and Grace again as the free gift in economic and monetary systems…hopefully very soon.

….that nothing ever occurs in the temporal universe until a thought, which is what philosophy is all about, occurs first.  In fact, in the individual, if a thought about a concept does not occur, its effects will never exist for them, let alone become real to that individual. And if it does not occur to others it won’t generally exist either. Beyond this, if the concept is not contemplated it is tenuous and nebulous at best.

Everything begins and becomes real and self actualized by the creation and contemplation of thoughts and concepts.

1. A combination of only truths from apparently opposing viewpoints, and the deletion of any untruths in both/either as well.
2. A combination of only solutions from apparently opposing viewpoints, and the deletion of any palliatives, unworkabilities or outright gifts to already dominant forces or entities.   Note: There may be nothing but palliative “solutions” offered by both opposing viewpoints in which case the dominant forces/entities in both opposing viewpoints must submit to number 3
3. A combination that betters all constituencies in any situation/condition and so is the best ethical result, over all even for dominant forces or entities, but that ends their dominance terminatedly and so integrates that force/entity ethically into the result.

1  Look at the present power dynamics

2  Look at which one of those is chronically/continually in effect and effects the most people and situations

3  Look at the two presently advocated and opposing viewpoints and their solutions to that dynamic factor

4  Integrate the best, most ethical and most resolving truths in both/each of those viewpoints so that a third unified alternative truth and its solutions is created, and then implement policies that perfectly align with and effect that truth
