Politicians? God help them, you’ll pardon the expression, because their temptation and all too often driving ethic is power and control only which is the very antithesis of grace which is redeemed/redemptive power and control.

Dante was prescient when he condemned the majority of politicians to the seventh level of hell.

Excellent, excellent post Rodger. Stress, unresolved problems and a desparate desire to resolve them is the very process and temptation of the authoritarian mindset…and the natural philosophical concept of grace, graciousness and its systemically applicable aspects…like Gifting for instance, is its remedy.

They analyze the economy and the money system systemically, but fail to do so conceptually. Hence they never see the deeper realities that paradigms, being applied concepts, create and enforce.

…an applied idea, which is what a paradigm is, especially an applied monopoly idea like we have today in Finance with their concept of Debt Only as the sole form and vehicle for the creation and distribution of virtually all new money….has astonishing effects in the mind and in the temporal universe.

Similarly, we also have a monopoly paradigm of economic payment of The Buyer Only Must Pay Full and Final Price.

These unnecessarily restrictive monopoly paradigms have been in restraint of trade since the beginning of human civilization.

Its way past due that we break these applied monopoly ideas up, especially because they inhibit rational action toward the resolution of present and looming crises.

Its A Wonderful Life! Postlude

On The Road Postlude

Sitting Under The Retail Bo Tree

Prelude To The New Zeitgiest

As the major banks oppose the new paradigm and fight the almost universal popularity of the benefit of the new pardigm and begin to lose control, a smart financier starts a new bank called Bank of the New Paradigm that embraces the paradigm’s policies…and takes the market share of every foot dragging/opposing bank forcing them to yield to the new paradigm.

Every nation gets on the bandwagon to intelligently integrate the new monetary paradigm of Strategic Monetary Gifting into the present Debt Only system. This would guarantee an abundant but not ecologically destructive level of monetary and economic security to everyone and enable a resulting political coalition that could break up the oligarchic domination of energy industries that irrationally stand in the road of ecological sanity by funding Eco-energy R & D with a “tax” of a sliding scale percentage of gifted purchasing power, read a free gift of rational investment, to deal with the climate, ecological and energy crises.

But it does mean that you have such a high percentage of the market that your monopoly is in restraint of trade.

The private banks and Oligarchs will inevitably react negatively to a new monetary paradigm of Grace as in Strategic Gifting. Why not head off their obstruction to such by bringing a suit in the courts and ultimately to the Supreme Court exposing The private bank’s monopoly paradigm for the creation and distribution of virtually all new money also known as Debt Only?

Forget government debt which is actually a gift of guaranteed revenue in the form of treasury bonds and which is therefore a part of GDP. That is not the problem. The problem for every individual and commercial agent is that the private banks wield the Debt Only paradigm which is exclusionary, dominating and hence unethical. This monopoly paradigm is entirely analogous to the Roman church’s monopoly paradigm of Salvation Via Roman Catholic Sacrament’s Only. The word “Only” designates both of these as a monopoly concept.

We need a monetary and economic reformation the same as The Protestant Reformation was needed. Gifting is an aspect of the concept and experience of grace, and why not make gratitude for a gift of 50% of price at retail sale (which everyone must and does participate in) the greatest opportunity to evolve homo sapiens since meditation and prayer?

Here are links to my blog and to my book outlining the policies of a new monetary and economic paradigm:

And my book:

Because their benefits are always an EXPERIENCE OF an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace which include:

Gifting/a Gift…and so the opportunity to consciously experience and self actualize gratitude

A new cognition/mental realization of truth regarding both mental and temporal universe reality, hence

an integration of opposites which is the very mental/intellectual operation of Wisdom

Problem resolution(s) resulting in states of thirdnesses greater onenesses/trinitarian effect. Problems are dualities, i.e. thought/counter thought, emotion/counter emotion, effort/counter effort that do not resolve

Increased likelihood of personal survival and institutional progress

Beneficial abundance

Flow/free flowingness

Grace as in love/loving action/loving intent has always been attributed to god and so this partial list of benefits is actually an opportunity to experience and habituate this highest and most beneficial experience…especially if that benefit was available to one because it was part of an action they must and do have to do in order to even survive…like participate in the economy at the point(s) of retail sale for instance…which is where and when the 50% Discount/Rebate policy of the new monetary paradigm is applied.
