I’m liberal to the core because several of the aspects of liberalism are tolerance and understanding and these are also aspects of the NATURAL philosophical concept of grace as in love in action. Curiously, power is also an aspect of grace but because unity, integration and transformation are also aspects of grace the aspect of grace I’m referring to is REDEEMED/REDEMPTIVE power. Political republicans, particularly the current crop exhibit none of these traits at least in their official capacity and understanding.

So where am I going with this? I’m not trying to give you a sunday school lesson, but rather pointing to how to bring about a new economic and monetary paradigm change that could enable the greatest liberal political coalition since The New Deal. A few prilims:

1) Grace/graciousness has always been the answer to every human and human systemic problem
because its the superlative wisdom insight of love in ACTION, that is its not just a nice idea its also acting as in implementing POLICY in the temporal universe which is where action actually takes place.

2) Historically, the effects of new paradigms have always been aspects of grace. Examples: the paradigm change from the mere animalistic “ethic” of Survival Only to Self Awarenesss and hence the realization that others are self aware and so the birth of the new realization that ethics are real. IOW a new and increased conscious awareness…which is also an aspect of grace. Other examples: The change from nomadic hunting and gathering to homesteading, urbanization and agriculture which resulted in the implementation of the aspects of grace of greater abundance, greater survival and of course the new increased conscious realization of the importance and goodness of these changes. Third example: The Copernican Cosmological paradigm change which was an inversion of temporal universe reality and transformation of mental reality both of which are sapects/signatures of both grace and historical paradigm changes.

3) What is the current monetary paradigm and what is the aspect of grace that will integrate present palliative reforms into a new paradigm? Upwards of 97% of all new money is created by the private banking system as loans every year which means its created as debt ONLY. You don’t go to the bank to receive money in any form but debt in other words. The word ONLY designates this paradigm as a MONOPOLY paradigm. As all new paradigms are in complete conceptual opposition to the current paradigm the opposite concept to Debt Only would be Monetary Gifting. Currently there is also a paradigm of The Agent Paying Full Price ONLY which monopoly is ended by the new paradigm. All monopolies are dominating and consequently by nature unethical. The last monopoly paradigm we dealt with was Salvation Via Roman Catholic Sacraments ONLY, and The Reformation was the correcting result. We require a monetary and economic Reformation, and Monetary Gifting will accomplish it.

4) Again, historically new paradigms are always in complete conceptual opposition to the present paradigm which in a supposedly logical scientific age makes it more difficult to mentally confront and risk embracing illogic even though the clear historical signature of new paradigms is exactly that. Examples: The Reformation: Dominance and manipulation to Religious Tolerance and Democracy. Emergence from Animalistic Narcissistic Survival ONLY to Self Awareness and the Reality of Ethics. Nomadic Tribal Hunting and Gathering to Homesteading, Urbanization and Agriculture…and Debt ONLY and Strategic Integration of Monetary Gifting.

You’ll note that every one of these new paradigms is an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace, and the new monetary paradigm follows that historical trend with Monetary Grace as In Gifting. The realization of this philosophical and temporal universe truth is a GOAT, one of the greatest insights of all time, and can be utilized to focus scientific investigations and hence fast track insights.

5) Now paradigms are APPLIED ideas. IOW new paradigms are both mental/conceptual and temporal universe reality changes which brings us to another signature of historical paradigms which is The Integration of Opposites which is also the intention and the very process of the superlative intellectual discipline also known as Wisdom. This by the way is why I titled my book Wisdomics-Gracenomics.

6) New paradigms are about solutions to the problems in systems, bodies of knowledge or areas of human endeavor…NOT JUST A CORRECT IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEMS in these areas. IOW paradigmatic analysis takes reductive scientific analysis and identifies the key factors that resolve the problems/anomalies of the current paradigm. This is why I say: “Science is good, necessary and delicious, and it exists entirely within the digestive tract of Wisdom.”

Discovery of The Reality of Mega-Paradigm Changes

Serendipitous Nature The New Monetary Paradigm: Its also the the Greatest Opportuity To Self Actualize Grace As In Gratitude Since Meditation and Prayer Because Everyone Participates In/Is Effected By Economics and Money At The Point of Retail Sale and The Healthy Response To A 50% Gift of Price is Gratitude. Also, The 50% Retail Discount Integrates the Current Parasite of Finance, Which Is Always Either Post Retail Sale or Prior To Production, Into The Actual Economic/Productive Systems (A 50% Gift of The Cost of One’s Mortgage Payment Is The Retail Point of of Finance)

Here’s Boiled Down List of Facts and Considerations About The New Monetary Paradigm:

1) All new money is currently created ONLY AS DEBT, that is as a monopoly paradigm concept enforcing The Burden to PAY and/or REPAY…ONLY.

2) All monopolies are dominating, especially conceptual/paradigmatic monopolies and inevitably confirm Lord Acton’s dictum that “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

3) Money is created by both the banks and the government, simply with equal accounting entries that sum to zero.

4) Everyone participates in/is personally effected by retail sale and the price of goods and services at that point.

5) Inflation has a number of causes, but the most fundamental of its causes is simply the decision by commercial agents/management to raise prices.

6) A policy of equal credits (a 50% Discount to the consumer at retail sale) and debits (the rebating of total sales discounts back to the merchant granting it to the consumer by the/a monetary authority) doubles everyone’s purchasing power and transforms chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation.

7) Paradigm changes are the phenomenon of the application of a new key idea/concept that enlightens truths, hence raises consciousness, resolves the problems of the current anomalous paradigm and hence creates new temporal universe realities.

8) There are paradigm changes and mega-paradigm changes. The first is a change of concept/reality almost entirely within a single system, body of knowledge or area of human endeavor. The second (of which there has only been two or three in the entire history of the human species) is a paradigm change that is universally, personally and continuously experienced and whose benefits spill over into other systems, bodies of knowledge and areas of human endeavor than the primary one under analysis. Such a paradigm change is also serendipitous in that it enlightens beneficial possibilities not expected largely because those possibilities are considered irrelevant to the primary area of analysis and/or impossible because

opposites do not integrate…and yet such integration is now applicable. The serendipitous aspect of the new monetary paradigm is that it can be the greatest opportunity to self actualize gratitude for Gifting since meditation and prayer.

Paradigmology: The Key To Broad and Effective Change

The world cries out for positive and permanent change. Why is there no body of knowledge that chronicles and describes historical paradigm changes?

Even more importantly what are the key signatures of imminent and accomplished paradigm changes so that we can become consciously aware of what to look for and pursue in order to more readily bring about paradigm change?

  1. Systemic anomalies that fail to resolve
  2. Complete conceptual opposition to the present paradigm
  3. Resistance to change by entrenched interests who benefit from the current paradigm
  4. Cynicism and/or mental difficulty (fear of personal loss of authority/position for thinking in terms of broad and permanent change, and consequent addiction to palliative reforms only

Most importantly, what is the single philosophical concept whose aspects have always described the beneficial effects of every paradigm change?

Finally, there are paradigm changes and then there are mega-paradigm changes the latter of which are

  1. personally, universally and continuously experienced
  2. whose benefits spill over into other systems, bodies of knowledge and areas of human endeavor than the primary target of analysis.

So what are the factors and signatures of a mega paradigm changes?

  1. Longevity of anomaly and consequent depth of acculturated unconsciousness of the present paradigm making it more difficult to
  2. Number of systems, bodies of knowledge and areas of human endeavor changed by the mega-paradigm change and consequent increased beneficial effects
  3. Looking and knowing in the deepest sense as opposed to mere thinking/abstraction by
  4. Utilizing thirdness/integrative oneness to resolve the anomaliess/dualities of the current paradigm, i.e. the superlative intellectual discipline of Wisdom which includes yet transcends and resolves the increasingly problematic paradigm of Science Only

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

All of the Boomers, Gen x, Millenials and Gen Z were/are failed/partial palliative reforms that the new monetary paradigm will complete.

Money DOES literally make the world go ’round, and now with grace as in monetary gifting integrated into the Debt Only money system we will be able to accomplish the general good with it, and be free to become fully aware of and self actualize the aspects of that most powerful concept. Hallelujah! And if we don’t do that we are doomed to at least the disintegration of civilization and at worse the possible extinction of the human race.

Actually Trump isn’t offering anything that is genuinely, new just re-packaged present pardigm palliatives…which indeed are destined to fail due to the self destructive inhumanenature of fascism. Here is the applicable corollary to Machiavelli: New paradigm’s are the most difficult things to begin as they are always in complete conceptual opposition to present orthodoxy, however, they are inevitable when one actually looks at them and their temporal universe effects.

The answer to chronic lack of demand, inflation, export platforming and the hollowing out of economies manufacturing capabilities is a 50% Discount/Rebate policy at retail sale. This policy immediately doubles every individual’s purchasing power while transforming chronic erosive inflation into beneficial price and asset deflation and yet every commercial agent gets their full price…simply by the magic of the accounting operation of equal debits and credits that sum to zero, that is a 50% discount/credit to the consumer and a debit/rebate aspect of the policy…back to the merchant. In other words the consumer can now buy $100 worth of groceries for $50 while the grocer gets $100. Likewise they only have to pay $250k for a $500k house. And if you do the same accounting operation at point of loan signing with a credit/gift of interest to the banks/debit/debt jubilee to the consumer the individual gets that $500k house for only $125k.

The present monetary paradigm of Debt Only as the sole/monopolistic form and vehicle for the creation and distribution of new money is at the core of the core economic problem, namely Finance. Integrate/strategically apply the new paradigm of Direct and Reciprocal Monetary Gifting and you’ll get the classic signature of historical paradigm changes: resolution of the anomalies of the present paradigm and complete inversion of its problematic temporal universe realities.

Money, THE TOOL for temporal universe ACTION, could accomplish all of the the things you inumerated…if you applied the policies of the new paradigm of Gifting utilizing the TOOL of accounting.

While we’re quoting philosophers here’s Gramsci on what we need from modern intellectuals: “pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.”

Here’s my quote for intellectuals: Cynicism is the modern intellectual disease of the erudite.
