Why did we never go back to hunting and gathering after we discovered agriculture and began homesteading and urbanization? That’s right, because the latter new paradigm was so much more beneficial and had so much more survival potential that all it took was a platform for it to win the day. Pessimism of the mind is okay so long as you also have optimism of the will. That way you don’t mistakenly let cynicism become apathy.

Current macro-economic theory is nothing if not abstract and complex to the point of complete mystery to the individual and even for most economists. What people experience at retail sale is direct, personal and increasingly unpleasant. A 50% gift of price therefore every time they go someplace to purchase something has tremendous power to influence their minds and appreciation of such a gracious policy. And all it is, is utilizing the same accounting methods the banks use to create new money only as debt but instead as a gift.

The 50% Discount/Rebate policy is the same mental and temporal universe inversion we had when Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler showed that we needed to invert the positions of the earth and the sun in order to resolve the anomalous problems of cosmic/astro-physical prediction. A 50% reduction in the cost of everything ends inflation forever while doubling everyone’s purchasing power and tremendously increasing demand for every legitimate enterprise’s goods and services…all in one fell swoop! All people need to do is the simple math and enjoy! Its a personal, economic, social, psychological and political winner of staggering power!

Until One Discovers…..

Until one discovers grace they are lost, no matter whether they be dedicated scientist, activist for any and all reforms or advocate for the various disciplines for upright living.

Grace is nothing more and certainly nothing less than self actualized love in action. Grace is the universal and ultimate solvent for internal and external conflict, the deepest and most grounding experience you’ll ever have and the only foundation upon which sanity, rationality and civilization can be united and sustained. Grace is union with the present moment and, upon reflection, whatever existed in the past or will exist in the future.

Contemplate grace, cultivate grace, eat, drink and breath grace.

Grace be with you.

Today: God is in the moment. He’s omni-present afterall. In fact the experience of god is the deep experience of whatever is in the present moment.

Amongst other things, mega-paradigm changes are characterized by the universality of their positive effect on both inviduals and their systems/bodies of thought.

The first mega-paradigm change was when humanity became self aware enough to realize the reality and importance of ethics. That is what the Adam and Eve story in Genesis refers to when they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. In other words we emerged from being a mere animal with survival being our only ethic and had to then deal with the duality of good or evil by doing what we do not nearly do enough of in modern times, self actualizing graciousness as in love in action.

Self actualization is largely a repetitive process, and that is why the new monetary and economic paradigm of strategic Gifting is the next mega-paradigm change because it gives everyone the daily opportunity to self actualize gratitude for a gift of price at retail sale and of a debt jubilee at the point of loan signing.

Imagine an economy based on grace as in gifting.

Not everyone perceives a curent paradigm let alone a new one, and then crafts the new paradigm’s world changing applications and new regulatory apparatus that align with the new paradigm concept. That’s why my Wisdomics-Gracenomics is so significant. You might say I am the Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler of the new monetary paradigm as Galileo observed the Copernican reality and Kepler finally made the Copernican hypothesis more accurate than the Ptolemaic concept by temporally resolving its anomalies.

The 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale enlightens a new macro-economic insight, namely that retail sale being the single universally/aggregatively participated in/experienced point in the entire economic process…a direct gifting monetary policy utilizing equal debits and credits at that point resolves the major problems of the economic system and rejuvenates and frees it to innovate, compete and rationally produce when it is made to align with the concept behind every paradigm change…the natural philosophical concept of grace…which itself is a new insight that shows how spirituality can be successfully integrated into our temporal universe systems.

Finally, identifying the efficacy/workability and true temporal reality of the concept/experience of grace enables one to embrace ethics/spirituality without having to jump through any super natural/pre-scientific hoops and shows the imminent workability of embracing love of which grace/graciousness is its active expression that opens the way to the further integration of all of the world’s wisdom traditions in the pursuit of better human progress and happiness. Increase in consciousness/awareness of reality and Unity being major aspects of grace.

They’re false and problematic unities.

Only the natural philosophical concept of grace which is the ultimate unitary concept and experience because it integrates opposites in the best and most beneficial ways can be trusted with sovereign power.

No one that I know exceeds me in cynical recognition of present circumstances, but I believe in the Antonio Gramsci attributed quote: “Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.” And the way to bulwark yourself with the latter despite the former is to self actualize grace as in love in action in oneself and in our various systems. Without such one becomes unwittingly prone to fulfilling the insight of the Japanese military theorist Sun Tsu who correctly noted that if you can convince the opponent that there is no reason to fight…you’ve won the war without a battle.

So the only real question is: Do you remain on all fours before Finance’s dominating monetary paradigm, or do you stand up on your own hind legs and create the realites of the new paradigm?

Its finally time to integrate economics and wisdom/spirituality. Piss on all of both the gross religionists who might be stuck in their sectarian dualities and orthodox economic theorists on both sides who are stuck in the same. Time to enable a systemic and human evolution not seen since humanity emerged from the sole animalistic ethic of survival to an awareness of the reality of grace/love in action.

The best and most effective way to self actualize grace as in gratitude would be to implement monetary gifting strategically into the economic process which everyone participates in virtually every day. The process of self actualization is repetitive creation of a reality.

Imagine the potential benefits of having an economy based on and eliciting gratitude.

I’ve been a student of virtually all of the leading economic and monetary reformers since the Great Financial Crisis of 2008. Guys like Steve Keen, Michael Hudson, Warren Mosler and MMTers, Ellen Brown etc. They’ve all done excellent and accurate work. Their only problem is they’ve never fully “upped their game” to the conceptual/paradigmatic level of analysis. And so far as I have seen nobody but little ‘ole me has done that. They’re all systems analysts, which is fine, but the ideas/concepts/paradigms behind the systems which enforce systemic realities are the real power, and correctly changing those ideas will enable the integration and better accomplishment of all of the intentions of the above excellent reforms because a paradigm change, like every paradigm change has historically done, is a change in the nature and workability of the ENTIRE patterns under analysis…not just separate palliative reforms. What we desparately need is what R. Buckminster Fuller said, that is we need to become systems philosophers.

My ever evolving book Wisdomics-Gracenomics: The New Monetary Paradigm and Its Policies presents an entire policy program for such analysis and change.

Yes, Finance is the problematic institution and the paradigm concept of Debt ONLY as the sole, MONOPOLISTIC, form and vehicle for the creation and distribution of new money IS the core of the core problem for the economy and for the planet.

Beside breaking up that monopoly paradigm we need a directly distributive money system that with its new paradigm policies (think GIFTING) insures individual monetary security while simultaneously enabling and encouraging commercial agents willing to cooperate in the transformation.

We require an integration of economics and ethics fundamentally based on the natural philosophical wisdom concept of grace. A Wisdomics-Gracenomics if you will. Grace is nothing more and certainly nothing less than love in action…and as policies are the actions of systems…systemic policies. So let us align economic policy with it.

Beats hell out of the human civilization long “free” market fallacy that is actually alternately goosed and strangled financially dominating chaos.
