The solution is reconsideration of the concept of full time employment from 40+ hours/week to 15-20 hours accompanied by more monetary Giving/Gifting….so that there is a lot less need to lend/borrow. And this is why we must have a Dividend and a Discount that is actually productive of considerable price deflation.  And these three factors (less working time, more monetary Gifting and less borrowing) which together entitles the individual to have a secured income approaching middle class level. This is also why we need the NCO (National Credit Office) to be the original creator of money which is guided by the appropriate aspects of Grace (Balance, higher/ethical Equilibrium and Flow) not the private self interested Banks. And finally, also have a cooperative effort by both public and private entities to educate and encourage individuals to understand themselves, to understand Life and Living and so to find the positive, constructive and self determined purposes they will then have the time and satisfactory economic freedom to pursue.

Cleanse the doors of perception…and everything will appear as it is: incredibly energetic and intending to be conscious.                                                               Steve Hummel 02/19/2016

An update on a famous quote

And of course this is precisely what economic and monetary theory need to do.

Posted to RWER Blog  by Dean Baker 02/20/2016

Yes the system is as you say. And it really is not that subtle, its mostly that we are so conditioned to think that it is the correct and benevolent one we’re supposed to believe in. If we literally stood on our heads, we’d see BOTH the world AND ourselves…as they actually are.
And of course this is precisely what we need to do with economic and monetary theory as well.

This precise experience and capability is the state pointed at by all of the world’s major wisdom traditions…and it is as relevant and powerful as it has ever been, if not more so. As the hurricane has a calm within the storm so must we seek such calm as the basis for a new economic philosophy, and policies that perfectly reflect and align with it in the economic system.

Now part of this new philosophy is the recognition that a calm without a hurricane is just a nice day in the sun and that if the sunny day becomes a sunny three months you’ve got a drought on your hands. It also recognizes that the chaos of raging winds and rising sea levels is also not an optimal situation. So the ideal condition and philosophy to attend to is the continual integration of a calm mental discernment within the inevitably changing temporal universe….and that is a philosophy and the experience of Grace.

First of all it needs to look at itself, which has recently begun to happen. Then it needs, like virtually every other science or modern discipline also hasn’t,  to look at what it hasn’t done which is to look for the key ingredient of each of the new reforms and theories and then integrate them into a more workable, applicable, ethical and elegant whole that is greater than its parts. This is precisely what Wisdomics/Gracenomics has done. Integration after all is the process of Wisdom itself, and also the means of garnering it.

Let us look at the leading edge theories and reform movements and see if we can discern and integrate that underlying key ingredient into the philosophy and policies of economics.

Grace can be understood and experienced as well by the religious as by the atheistic, and that experience is in no way diminished for either. Just remember that, no matter from which perspective you come from. Overcome that mental barrier and you avoid the trap of orthodoxy which can be a mental death trap….with each.
