5, 8, 13, 21 = a twoness/Nature of (5,8), an added integrated oneness/Consciousness of (13) and a thirdness integration of continuous, repeated/repeating consciousness as well (21).

Is the experience of Grace of internal or external origin?  Probably both. That would make Spirituality both Natural and Awesome, and Nature both Awesome and Spiritual….at the same time!

It would also make Spirituality a higher and fuller natural reality…and so, also one which could be both invoked and re-invoked internally and also drawn upon continuously from outside, as well.

Interesting.

It would also not conflict with the idea that human Consciousness and/or Consciousness itself is the primary and prior condition for such experience.

[(D) X P/W] = and/or —-> leads to  G/C/SA or (a)G/C/SA   or,

[(D)/(P/W] = and/or —-> leads to G/C/SA or (a)G/C/SA

(D) Duality/twoness X Integrated with P/W Philosophy/Wisdom = equals Grace/Consciousness/Self Awareness or (a) an aspect thereof

In other words Grace/Consciousness/Self Awareness or an aspect of same…not unlike Plasma as the 4 th state of matter, is the 4 th/continuous state of human beingness and/or the Cosmos. In other words it is flow as in Start,Change and Stop…and the continuous flow of Start, Change and Stop…as well.

I have been using a formula for a while which I knew had significance, but still just didn’t seem right or complete, even though it  was more basic and made much more sense than other concepts or formulas about Life and Living. Here it is:

[ (D)  X  (a)G/C/SA ] where  (D) is a legitimate Duality (two opposing, equilibrating, reflecting, balancing ideas, concepts, intentions, states of being) X is the sign for Integration and (a) is an aspect of G/C/SA, the experience of Grace-God/Consciousness/Self Awareness.

But this is my realization about the formula. To be consistent with Time and human thinking/being it should be:

[ (a)G/C/SA  X  (D) ]

Why? Because when was the last time you picked up a pencil, and then decided to pick up that very same pencil? The thought precedes the action. 

For the normal, healthy and basically free human being the idea/intention precedes the action. Now one can feel as if the duality-conflict is ever present, but its actually true that you are holding the conflict in effect in your present and continuing moment. All you really have to do is let go of the conflicting duality of it. This is the idea gestalt psychology and virtually all of the world’s major Wisdom traditions. And as a gradient way of letting go it is also what is known as abreaction therapy where one “runs off” one’s efforts, emotions and thoughts regarding the conflict until one is tired of holding onto it and/or has a realization about when and/or why one was holding onto it and then lets it go. This is actually the purpose of what is called a koan in zen buddhist practice which is an ancient ingenious form of conflict/problem resolution and results in what is called satori which is a direct personal realization of or about Consciousness/Self Awareness…which is an inherent and primary aspect of….being human. And that is the realization of the primariness and firstness or prior aspect of consciousness and/or God. So if you want to meet your Self and/or God….just let the Duality/conflict go and be one with the first and primary state of being and/or the first and primary state of being…and its reflecting  aspect from the Duality. Either way you’re at one with yourself and/or God. This by the way is the concept of Trinity which is the signature of God/Spirituality itself as in Grace or God (1/oneness) X integrated with a Duality (2/twoness) = oneness within 3/threeness/wholeness, at least within incarnation, but is actually reducible to oneness (reducibility is an aspect/signature of Science and scientific breakthrough).  And of course that is the realization that truly Wise and Integrated Science and Spirituality/God are not/do not have to be in conflict with each other.

Now take that and apply it to Economics and macro-economic policy and you can see that Grace as a philosophy and policy is the Wisdom of a truly Integrated and human science of Economics.

To which the standard reply is…Huh?  But if you apply the philosophical and spiritual concept of Ascension…you know that that is the answer to the question. Because, within the orienting discipline of economics, it means that the highest ascending integrative philosophy and policy of economics is any and all aspects of Grace, i.e the epitome of Up.

If economists on all sides can tell me a time when the consideration of Cost is ever not a dynamic factor or legitimate endeavor in economics…at least if one is actually concerned with the integrity of economic insight and accounting truth….then I will back down on my claim that it is the missing, overlooked and/or the blinded by orthodoxy factor that macro-economists most need to consider…and will lead them to the truth they seek in their economic analyses.

Economics/Commerce/The Productive System is utterly embedded in the Temporal Universe. The second law of thermo-dynamics tells us that the Temporal/Physical Universe at any and all Time can only change and/or randomize energy not destroy it, and that this law cannot be escaped. The effects of the Costing/Pricing System itself in a Capitalist or any other Economic system are a greater rate of flow of Costs/Prices than Individual Incomes simultaneously produced, and because this fact cannot be escaped it is the equivalent of the second law of thermo-dynamics  in economics.

Money is essentially not a commodity but an agreement. As an agreement is mental it is not bound by the second law of thermo-dynamics..  Our creditary money system is digital in nature so that if money is applied to a debt both the money and the debt are destroyed. Likewise, if a deficit of consumer demand makes an economic system balky and/or dysfunctional, then providing the adequate amount of consumer demand to bring prices and consumer demand into equilibrium will not create inflation,  so long as that additional consumer demand is a direct gift of income to the individual and not a loan and/or an indirect injection of money into commerce first which again creates more costs/prices than it does individual incomes with which to liquidate those greater costs/prices.
