An integration is a purity which avoids and transcends a puritanical moralistic structure and/or personal reaction. It is the rational consideration of morals that simultaneously recognizes that for human beings (and even for some other animal species)  there actually is a canon of sensitivity and respect for the Other. An integration graciously avoids the tendency toward mere dualism in morals and thus is a Trinity-Unity of right-wrong and ethics.

[ Ethics X (Right X Wrong) ]

An integration avoids puritanism by insisting that all relevant viewpoints be considered including the consideration that a human canon of ethics actually exists in a particular right-wrong situation. Thus it may actually generally agree with a traditional moral stance and yet its inclusive conceptual ethic becomes a more refined analysis and will tend to avoid both the reactionary harshness often associated with moral dualism and its equally problematic tendency toward orthodox rigidity. Hence it is a higher Trinity-Unity-Purity instead of a mere and often harsh Puritan Duality.

General equilibrium theorists mistakenly made a fetish out of eqilibrium, and General disequilibrium theorists risk doing the same out of disequilibrium. The better and wiser thing to do would be to take the moment to moment reality of disequilibrium and integrate that with the ethically correct intention of proactively creating policies that effect a stable equilibrium. That way neither ends up ossifying into an orthodoxy and so ends up “throwing the baby out with the bathwater”.

Grace is balance, equilibrium and flow. And the concept of Grace is equally applicable to birds, nature and economic systems… and experientially to human beings who contemplate its aspects and meanings.

Theories of economic and monetary Equilibrium and Disequilibrium are alike in that overly dwelling upon them makes them tend to become ideologies and orthodoxies. An integration of the moment to moment fact of disequilibrium with the classical intention of creating an equilibrium begs proactive, adult, responsible and comprehensively wise action to create a dynamic ever adaptive philosophy and policy framework which serves both the individual and the system. In other words an integration of the Dualism of Disequilibrium and Equilibrium begs a third and unifying theory. As Wisdom is integration/the integrative process itself and Grace/Trinity-Unity is historically the pinnacle concept of Wisdom, a theory and aligned policies based on Grace/graciousness, which is an even more thorough integration/unifying thirdness, ought to be the correct and best course to pursue.

Note:  The world’s various Wisdom traditions have all spoken to all aspects of spirituality while emphasizing one or the other of diversity (Hinduism), monotheism (Judaism), oneness (Buddhism) Trinity-Unity (Christianity) and the importance of linking ethics to one’s daily life (Islam).  Thus they have all been talking about some form of oneness, twoness and threeness/the integration of manyness, and the importance of integrating ethics into one’s own/the system’s daily actions/policies. Hence an ethic of Grace/Trinity-Unity is actually a fourthness/Quadrinity that is above even Trinity-Unity itself and is the (gracious) discipline an imperfect world needs to pursue and attain Trinity-Unity.

The other will inevitably become stubbornly entrenched politically. The only rational and ethical course is to first discover a third unifying economic philosophy whose primary and overriding aspects and intentions are immanent individual economic freedom and systemic free flowingness. The clarity and Wisdom that arises out of that discovery will make policy easier to craft. That idea is the concept of Grace in all of its relevant economic aspects and the result will be that both Private Finance and Government will fall to their correctly smaller places in human affairs.

The tendencies of both capitalism and socialism are power, manipulation and control. That is why the positive aspects of both need to be integrated to create the third unified socio-economic form known as Distributism whose primary intention and effects would be de-centralization of power, immanent economic and monetary freedom for the individual and their consequent empowerment to chose their own self determined course.

Examples

Grace is by definition and nature both a noun and a verb…at the same time. That makes it both beingness and becomingness…at the same time, and also a moment to moment spacio-temporal/of Time and Space and of the Self/Self Awareness/Consciousness itself experience in a complete and unified integration of those three component parts.

An orthodoxy is a past or never experience of a truth ossified into a belief in that truth which is not being experienced at that moment, and in some ways actually inhibits such experience. As Grace by definition is both an experience and the continuance of that experience (beingness and becomingness) and is integrally defined by its moment to moment character it is thus by definition a continuing flow through present time Time and Space of Consciousness…and so is not a belief, but an experience. Now one can have an orthodox belief in Grace, but the experience itself is not and cannot be an orthodoxy. Grace is also defined as transformational and transcendent which means it is a change itself and a beyondness of normal experience.

That is truly an interesting article.

One caveat, I’m not sure of the validity of the statement “the use of cash settlement through their Wall Street proxies to raise the A shares of China to hysterical highs and then try to crash their entire stock market by a reverse cash settlement rig as in 1987.” Maybe, maybe not. However, one should not be too quick to endorse or swallow things whole as this leaves dis-information to slip past unexamined.

The solution to such brinksmanship of course is graciousness instead of belligerence by leaders….and the integration of monetary grace the free gift/Gifting…into BOTH Russian AND Western economic and Financial systems.
