Unconscious and obsessive Dualism when Trinity-Thirdness/Unity/Oneness has always been the signature of breakthrough and progress.

This is why I called my book Wisdomics-Gracenomics. After all, Wisdom is the “third way” and the many aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace have always been the effects of every historical paradigm change.

About the only value of excessive Dualism is to realize that it is a signature of necessary and imminent paradigm change in that new paradigm concepts are always in complete conceptual opposition to the current/old paradigm. Thus Indirect Monetary Austerity and Debt as in Burden To Repay ONLY point to Direct and Reciprocal Monetary Abundance and Gifting indeed being the new monetary and economic paradigm.

Just call the new monetary authority The Individual’s and Commercial Agent’s Gifting Agency and it pays $200k on a $400k house at retail and the new monetary authority Gifts the Bank 50% of the interest on the $200k it sends to the retailer to make him whole on his total price in exchange for the loan being reduced to $100k. The hence the consumer gets a $400k house for $100k, a $60k Tesla for $15k and a $10 Burger combo for $5, and the bank (ultimately) even gets all of the interest it would earn on the $200k loan.

Other than to better command your knowledge of our individual monetary and economic problems, perceive the applied operant (as in key and most effective) concept that will change the realities in the ENTIRE PATTERN under analysis.

In other words, rather than only being a system’s analyst, first be a system’s philosopher so as to perceive the applications of the new paradigm concept….that will resolve virtually all of the problems identified by system’s analysis. That way you don’t get trapped in reductionistic problem obsession “cart before the horse” thinking while missing the wholistic solution.

There is much quackery, misinformation and ignorance regarding money and money reform. The most important things one can understand about money systems today are that all new money is created by the simple accounting operations of equal debits and credits that sum to zero, and that virtually all of that money is created only as debt. That makes the paradigm of money Debt ONLY. The word ONLY designates the paradigm as a monopoly concept.

Breaking up that monopoly paradigm will enable the greatest progressive moment in human history since we emerged from the rest of the animal kingdom however long ago that was, and no, I’m not kidding.

Why is that? Because it will be a mega-paradigm change that will not only bring continuous and incredible benefits to every individual in the economy, but its benefits will also spill over into numerous other bodies of knowledge, areas of human endeavor and even be a major contributor to the integration of science and spirituality. Yes, its that big because there has only been two mega-paradigm changes in the entire history of the human species. Emerging from the animal kingdom was the first. The second was going from nomadic hunters and gatherers to homesteading, urbanization and agriculture.

One must always look for the applied ideas behind our systems, that is the paradigm concepts, because they are what enforce the present anomalous paradigm’s realities, and a new paradigm concept creates new realities. Thats because the applications of the new idea is the operant or key idea that resolves the anomalies of the current/old paradigm.

The two most important things to know about new paradigms are that they are always in complete conceptual opposition to the current paradigm, and that the effects of all historical paradigm changes have always been aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace as in love in action. And that is why paradigm changes are always so beneficial, because love is the universally recognized pinnacle spiritual value and experience. Paradigm changes are temporal universe implementations of graciousness/love and hence opportunities to self actualize same. And this self actualization is the most important benefit of the new monetary paradigm, even more so than the monetary and economic benefits, as we will see.

Obsessive/orthodox dualism is the curse word of human history because dualism (thesis vs antithesis) is the description of any and all problems, and allegiance to one side or the other of a dualism way too easily results in conflict.

Finding the third integrative and resolving way AKA Wisdom is key to the evolution of humanity.

…is that the cosmos itself IS MAGICALLY ECSTATIC. All you really need to do is find your best way to focus on tuning into it. It is of course what we refer to as normal as well, but at its base its precisely what we consider to be magic with its realities popping into and out of existence. Again, space, time and energy at base are in such dynamic, integrated, unified and unstopably graceful process and flow that its a mind blower.

Its ecstacism, which is the union of Science and Wisdom and the re-enchantment of the temporal universe. Just realize that the dynamic flux going on around you constantly is able to be experienced by you simply by focusing on what is actually around you at any particular moment instead of thinking ABOUT IT, IN OTHER WORDS BEING ONCE REMOVED FROM THE MOMENT AND ITS EXPERIENCE.

Being, experiencing the moment is the unitary experience of your awareness with the moment which traditionally has been the experience of god. Its the Garden of Eden which is a symbolization of humanity’s fall from trinity, unity, greater oneness, in other words from god and into seemingly unresolvable duality.

Science needs to recognize this and merge with wisdom. Its the beginning of the next step in the evolution of Man and the re-alignment of our various systems with the wisdom of ecstaticism.

Its also the next mega-paradigm change.

First, understand that the aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace are the temporal universe effects of every historical paradigm change.

Second, attune yourself to philosophy and ethics as they enlighten and redeem the necessary changes for paradigm change, and guarantee that you advocate for evolution, not just for revolution.

Third, understand that graciousness is love in action, and that policies being the actions of systems they are what implement humane realities into systems. Therefore, align all policies with the concept/aspects of grace.

Fourth, abandon all cynicism because being only a few microns above complete apathy it ends any action/participation in paradigm change.

Fifth, embrace enthusiasm and the joy of purposefullness, as being aspects of grace, they create and energize positive change both personally and temporally.

Precisely. The quote: “We’ve tried regulation. None meaningfully worked.” stands the problem on its head. Regulating/eliminating most financialization is what needs to happen. As for home, home needs to be creating an economy and money system that serves the individual not the financial elite and a coterie of speculators. The current Monetary paradigm of Debt ONLY is the central problem because it is a monopoly SINGLE CONCEPT/paradigm wielded by the Banks and utilized by the greedy financial elites.

Strategically integrate the new paradigm of Monetary Gifting at retail sale and point of loan signing via the same accounting operations utilized by the banks to create new money, namely equal debits and credits that sum to zero. A 50% (credit) reduction of price at the single macro-economic/aggregated point in the entire economic process (because EVERYONE participates in retail sale) and then rebate (debit) the entirety of the discount amounts back to the merchant and you eliminate inflation forever by implementing individually and commercially beneficial price and asset DEFLATION. Inversion of temporal universe reality is a cardinal signature of paradigm change. Tax inter-economic attempts to inflate at a rate of 100% and redistribute any revenue garnered by such greedy and unethical actions back to the proceeding business model toward retail sale…and of course eliminate most financialization as well. Same 50% policy at loan signing integrates debt jubilee continuously into the economic process.

With inflation banished it frees us to run the kind of fiscal deficits needed to fund the research and mega projects to confront climate change.

And these benefits aren’t even the best result of the new paradigm which is implementing a daily opportunity for the universal self realization of gratitude for a Monetary Gift directly and continuously into the economic process. Imagine an economy of grace…instead of greed, Wisdom instead of want, homo sapiens/self empowered wise and discerning man instead of a dominated and confused homo economicus.

Money creation is entirely accounting. Paradigms are single concepts and paradigm changes are single operant applied ideas. Operant means core effective factor for change. The best way to have a universal operant effect is to find a place and time where everyone participates in the problematic area under analysis and then apply the new paradigm concept at that point and related points. I’ll give C. H. Douglas credit for identifying the single macro-economic/universally participated in point in the entire economic process, i.e. retail sale, to use accounting debits and credits. I simply innovated his policy of a smallish single digit percentage that mirrored inflation into a high percentage (50%) Discount/Rebate policy whose beneficial opting into could not be resisted out of the realization that to do so would mean going bankrupt because even a stupid consumer is going to quickly realize that he’d rather only have to pay half the price of everything instead of 100% with the non-opting merchant. Nor could it be gamed by malfactors raising their prices by 20-30% because if just one of their competitors played by the rules and didn’t inflate….just how much market share is the greedy CEO going to lose to the one whose healthy response of gratitude for the fact that a 50% discount (debit) given to his customers means the demand for all of his goods and services just got doubled…and with the rebate(credit) of the entirety of those discounts back to him he receives his full price. And of course if businesses collude thats legally actionable.

Paradigm changes are always beneficial, problem solving, permanently progressive, reality changing moments in entire bodies of knowledge/areas of human endeavor. Let us have the new monetary paradigm of Direct and Reciprocal Monetary Gifting at retail sale….with post haste.

************************************************************

Yes, debt, that is, the monopolistic paradigm concept of Debt ONLY as the sole form and vehicle allowed for the creation and distribution of new money, has always been the problem. Always as in for the entire length of human civilization. Consult Steve Keen and Michael Hudson on that. What they however don’t get is even with the periodic debt jubilees….private and commercial debt just kept coming back to strangle the economy…and we haven’t had a thorough debt jubilee since before Rome (Germany after WW II was as you note actually in the interest of ascending Finance Capitalism).

In other words what we need is not just another palliative reform, but a genuine paradigm change. If you look at historical paradigm changes you see that new paradigm concepts are always in complete conceptual opposition to the current anomalous concept and effect complete inversion of temporal universe reality. Examples: Nomadic Hunting & Gathering to Homesteading, Urbanization and Agriculture, Copernican cosmological paradigm change from Religious Egoistic Geo-centrism to Secular Helio-centrism. And last but not least we have Alternately Goosed and Strangled Unethically Dominating Debt Only to Ethically Ascendant Direct and Reciprocal Monetary Grace As In Gifting.

Kalen, why did “the revolt of the bourgeosie” never happen? Mostly because Private Finance and their monopoly paradigm was never thoroughly changed by an integrative new paradigm concept…that would integrate the self interests of consumer and merchant AGAINST Finance and that ultimately could be wielded by the people in a populist mass movement against oligarchy and any and all other usurpers. Indeed a concept whose many aspects has been the primary one behind every historical paradigm change and that has everytime been the NATURAL PHILOSOPHICAL concept of grace as in love in action, and as policies are the actions of systems, systemic policy. Thats why Monetary Grace as in Gifting hits the spot. Thats why a gymnast flipping and turning across the mat in dynamic, integrative physical and mental flow is considered graceful and beautiful. Thats why grace as in ethically and rationally directed sovereignty is what we need in politics. Thats why the wisdom of historical paradigm changes that integrate conceptual and temporal opposites into a resolving thirdness greater oneness is aspect of grace. Mentally contemplate and temporally implement grace in whatever relevant systemic way fits…and you’ll have true progress.

EB: I agree in part, but Kelton says the US government can simply spend money into existence: the Federal Reserve will then electronically credit bank accounts with brand new dollars. That’s not actually true. The Fed is not allowed by statute to “monetize” the debt directly. It has to borrow federal securities on the open market like everyone else. I’ve written on that before with citations. Arguably, Congress could change the law and mandate the Fed to monetize the debt. The Fed returns its profits to the Treasury, so the debt would then be interest-free. And since the Fed is (more or less) a federal agency, there would be no need to repay the debt to itself; it could just be carried on the books and rolled over (as it always is). But that’s not the law at the moment.

Me: Precisely. Broadcast the individual and commercial benefits of the policies I advocate with a mass movement and ignore the misinformation, disinformation, the terminally cynical, and the rest of the present orthodoxies that the new paradigm destroys or renders irrelevant and you could elect a coalition big enough to change the FED’s charter to create money as MONEY and distribute it so that it had the mathematical effects and solved the biggest problems of the economy.

Look at it. Do the simple math and let yourself experience the logical and positive result…gratitude for a gracious monetary gift everytime you went to buy potatos or a house. In fact in my book I remark that the economic benefits of Wisdomics-Gracenomics aren’t the best part of the paradigm change. Its actually that they create an everyday experiencial infrastructure for the massive self actualization of grace as in gratitude.

Everyone, the government, the banks, the oligarchs and the opportunistic speculators must bend the knee to the beatific chains of the natural philosophical concept of grace as in love in action, and in the economic and monetary system as in Integrative Gifting.

End inflation, poverty, reduce payroll, individual and corporate taxes IF you abide by the new rules, tax revenue from inflated prices throughout the entire economic process at a rate of 100% all of which revenue is rebated back to the following enterprise(s) to compensate for their additional costs, and finally begin a post haste funding of the mega-projects necessary to confront climate change.

Grace, the aspects of which philosophical concept are behind every historical paradigm change which are the most progressive phenomena mankind ever experiences. We need a Wisdomics-Gracenomics.

EB: Yes we can envision great things and how they could be manifested, but the problem is always political. Someone else in the shadows is pulling the government’s strings, and we the people don’t yet have the power to battle that dark force. A real populist movement could do it, but first the people need to understand the problem and possible solutions. Economists (like lawyers and doctors) are notorious for obscuring the issues to maintain control. So what I try to do is to simplify it all for general consumption.

Me: If simply by using equal debits and credits of gifted money at retail sale and at point of loan signing you could lower the price of a $400k house to $100k, a $60k Tesla to $15k and $100 worth of groceries to $50….how could that not be the beginning of a populist mass movement that “no army” of pandering pols, pundits or the most nincompoop consumer could resist??? Start with the students whose minds aren’t terminally damaged by cynicyism. With a $1000/mo. universal dividend at age 18 coupled with a 50% discount rebate policy at retail sale that would give them $2000/mo. of purchasing power while they went to school and for their entire life. Another policy, a $100,000 debt jubilee would wipe out probably 95% of student debt so their free after graduation to get on with their lives. Lots of other policies in Wisdomics-Gracenomics. Take things to the individual in clear terms and we can win.
