The Great Creative Mindset - Harmony Of Science And Religion.

Thank you Lew for your eloquent, quick rendition of the Salamanca contribution to classical liberalism.

I think it is very fruitful to explore the truth with a mindset that is anchored with the harmony of science and religion. Then when an idea bubbles to the surface the anchor can be raised and the craft is free to begin the journey to see where the currents and the winds lead.

At any point the anchor of the harmony of science and religion can be used; to rest and analyze and theorize.

Salamanca Conference Commemorates Classical Liberalism.

Some of the early classical liberals regarded theology as the queen of the sciences. It was its deductive structure that paralleled the other scientific endeavors common among these early great thinkers. This was before the great dividing which separated science and religion for hundreds of years.

Now, as products of this diaspora, we struggle to make sense of anything that reconnects science and religion.

To those who are searching for classical liberalism to extend to the present times and to the future with complete harmony between religion and economic science I suggest investigating the divine economy theory. The roots of Salamanca are still sending up sprouts!

It Is Deduction That Validates Both Science And Religion.

What could be more empirically true or more logically true than the appearance of Manifestations of God throughout the history of humankind and the resulting advancement of civilization either directly or indirectly attributable to the knowledge that They impart?

To selectively ignore this (even if it is because of the good reason of how religion has been corrupted over the years by the ego-driven interpreters) puts such a perspective into the precarious category of a half-truth.

Science is merely another powerful tool to be used to discover. But remember - the tool of science can easily be corrupted, take economic empiricism for example. In that form it is nothing but superstition (for example, Keynesianism). Or take for example environmentalism as it is twisted into various political schemes. Science is a powerful tool, but it too can be and has been corrupted. Yet those who are perceptive can discern and pursue the beauty and purity of science and thereby advance civilization.

Religion is likewise a powerful tool that has the same weaknesses as science. It can be and has been corrupted. But like science it has a beauty and purity - that can and has lead to the advancement of civilization.

To claim that one (in other words, only science or only religion) is the only true way is a blemish on the heart and mind of a seeker after truth. If that blemish is treated with atheism it will worsen.

Atheists And Ego-Driven Interpreters Bring About Oppression.

Property rights are human rights! As we can see, liberty does have limits. Violation of property rights by someone who says that they should have the liberty to do whatever they want is not anarchy but criminal.

At some point ethics enters into the picture and then all of the sudden we are either on our own and victims of ego-driven interpreters or we resign ourselves to what has been given by those who are recognized as selfless Lawgivers informing us about the Will of God.

The ego-driven interpreters are ego-driven: which means that they will ultimately seek the power to coercively subject others to their will. Contrast that to voluntary resignation to the ethics provided by the selfless Lawgivers.

The atheists, by denying the divine authority of the selfless Lawgivers, empower the ego-driven interpreters and therefore are part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

Atheism is spiritual laziness. Instead of doing the hard work of searching, and then searching some more and continually striving and searching, they simply cast aside the universal truths that have nurtured humankind from the beginning of recorded history. But that laziness comes at a cost! It empowers the ego-driven interpreters to find ways to accumulate power which is then used to oppress others.

Moral Authority Does Not Reside With The Ego-Driven.

Just as reprehensible as the ego-driven interventionists are the ego-driven interpreters.

And the sad plight of humanity in these Dark Ages of economics is the result of both of these (as individuals and/or as institutions) that do not have the moral authority that they think they have.

Ego-Driven Interventionists And Their Lord Are Deaf!

Why are these real concerns about the economy and the lack of ethics falling upon deaf ears?

When the ego is raging it is in total control of the poor souls afflicted by this 'devil.' The ego-driven interventionists whisper into the ears of the ambitious and ego-driven politicians and all the while this circle of ego addicts is being nurtured by the unConstitutional coup as if it is their personal den of vipers.

Totally consumed with their ego (no decency is left) they can only look outwardly with interventionist intentions as their souls shrivel. No cries of suffering from their injustices can reach their ears and so they become more and more tyrannical.

Humans can become lower than animals - more vicious and more deliberately cruel - when the ego destroys the true human spirit. If these diseased ones reject their cure (classical liberalism) then they will need to be surgically removed.

Cut out the cancer at its source - the members of the inner circle of the unConstitutional coup.

Law And Economics Have An Infinite Nature.

Laws in this age of moral relativity are relative! Because the source of law has been usurped and taken control of by the ego-driven interpreters and the ego-driven interventionists there is no justice, but rather relative law rendered by the corrupt 'giver' of the law.

Can there be any doubt that the ego-driven interpreters are just as clueless and incompetent before the true infinite law as are the ego-driven interventionists before the infinite nature of the economy?

Getting rid of the unConstitutional coup will begin the transition back to a Constitutional Republic and will begin to restore the true destiny of America which is to be an exemplary classical liberalism society for others to emulate.

Usurped Moral Authority.

The two great forces in human life have the same affliction. Both economics and religion are in a quagmire of usurped moral authority!

It is the same evil behind the usurpation of both economics and religion. The motivating impulse behind this usurpation is the manifestation of the ego, not the good type of ego associated with knowledge of oneself, but rather its alter-ego which takes form as an ego-driven interventionist or as an ego-driven interpreter.

Neither of these are good. Both are satanic in nature and are the cause of human strife and degradation.

There is moral authority but it does not reside in any of the man-made institutions. In economics the moral authority resides in the subjectivism of human action and the inherent search for truth that defines the human being. The force of equilibrium is not man-made. Human civilization fulfillment comes from a free market economy and the naturally virtuous nature of humans when they live in a state of liberty and justice.

In religion moral authority comes from the Covenant of God which has been lost to the minds of men precisely because of the interpretation by those who have usurped moral authority. But again what comes to the rescue is the inherent nature of humans to search after truth. The Covenant of God exists and it is in tact and full of divine power and it is readily discoverable.

For the independent investigation of truth to regain its function - to purge away errors - the destructiveness of intervention and interpretation must become common knowledge. Those who are ego-driven need to be exposed as charlatans since, in reality, they have no moral authority.

Once freed from these horrible afflictions economics and religion will harmoniously bring about peace, prosperity, liberty, unity and justice. It is our moral duty to remove the false pretenses of the ego-driven.

Economics and Religion Means More Than Laissez-Faire.

Now there is a book, MORE THAN LAISSEZ-FAIRE, that shines on the horizon of economics and shines on the horizon of religion. That does not mean that there are two suns, nor does it mean that the horizons are different.

What it means is that the rays from the sun are life-giving and indistinguishable. No one in their right mind, no one who has a scientific understanding, tries to separate one ray of the Sun’s light from another so that the other ray can be denied and labeled as irrelevant! This is why atheism has no place in economics. It is an attack on the one reality, often done in the guise of ‘science’ but no more is that possible in the science of economics.

That is one of the major contributions of MORE THAN LAISSE-FAIRE.

Economics And Religion Have The Same Enemy.

Since economics and religion are always addressed (superficially) during elections the enemy raises its head for all to see during the campaigns. The enemy is always present but it is easier to detect during the election cycle. Why? The power lusted for by the pawns of the enemy stirs the ambitions of the ego-driven.

In economics the enemy is the frail and feeble-minded interventionist. Compared to the omnipresent and omnipotent market process the desire to arbitrarily control minutiae within tiny fractions of small segments of the economy using static data is ridiculously petty. This nearly infinite difference between the incomprehensibe market process and blatantly finite and restrictive interventionism, though, serves to entice the ego-driven interventionist even more. It is a lust for power.

In religion the enemy represents those who think that they can interpret the Word of God, that is, all of the individuals who have weak enough souls to convince themselves that they can interpret the Word of God. In contrast to the infinite, regenerative, and life-giving potential of the Word of God; the world suffers from their arbitrary assignment of and confinement to narrow and ethnocentric concepts of what the Word of God means. These ego-driven interpreters want to make the world to be like their vision of the world, a vision that is selfish and flawed. They lust for the power to force their beliefs on others.

The liberty of classical liberalism is a strong deterent to the ego-driven. In liberty all intervention into the economy is shunned.

The independent investigation of truth and recognition of the importance of ethics are features within classical liberalism and this freedom nullifies the erroneous claims of the ego-driven interpreters.

One description fits for both versions of the enemy: both are ego-driven. Too many of the ones seeking our votes have the motives of the enemy.

Humility and non-intervention and tolerance and respect are characteristics of those who are not ego-driven. Ron Paul is rare among men for possessing the noble traits of a true statesman and he merits any and all votes to be the President of the United States.

The Age-Old Battle: Materialism Versus Tranquility.

In the cycle of the rise and fall of civilization there is a parallel rise and fall of victors. When perception narrows to exclude all meaning except those that are most obvious to the five senses then the dominant perspective is materialism. When the value attributed to all things includes the tangible and the intangible then the dominant perspective is tranquility.

Just like darkness is the absence of light, materialism is the absence of spiritual perception. A civilization dominated by materialism is in the falling portion of the cycle for one main reason. The main reason is because it is out of touch with reality. Under the domination of materialism value is misunderstood and distorted which portends the inevitable downfall. For example, even human life is not properly valued!

During the rise of civilization people are happy because they see the manifold evidences of wealth in all things. Even tests and difficulties are seen as opportunities to learn and as part of the process of perfection. This attitude of tranquility manifests itself in society as tranquility and peace and one of the main features of this rising civilization is cooperation.

It so happens that the age-old battle is being fought fiercely right now. In this modern age of economics the instigators of materialism are the ego-driven interventionists. Their narrow perception is what drives them to try to enrich themselves and their minions and to lust after power over others.

I am one of the champions of the other side of that battle. Ron Paul is another champion of the battle against materialism. His armament is the the U.S. Constitution and the intent of the Founders along with his understanding of classical liberalism. My chief weapon against the materialism of the interventionists is the divine economy theory which scientifically proves that there is no moral authority for any human intervention into the economy. Without that source of corruption society will recover, as unoppressed people regain their spiritual perception.

Economics and Religion Resusitated By A Standard!

I ended the last blog entry with the following words: 'Those with these reins in their hands will soon be knocked off their horses.' This refers to the ego-driven interventionists/interpreters who have been leading the way on the horses of false authority, leading the way to nihilism.

Again we see that economics and religion unfold in a parallel fashion.

In parallel, the shared remarkable feature is a standard. Opposition to the existence of a standard is expectedly intense since I am not talking about a relative standard but rather an absolute standard. For the longest time the interventionists and interpreters have claimed themselves to be the representatives of the standard and then they used power to oppress and to enforce their relative standard. None of these ego-driven standards were true standards and so now when confronted with an absolute standard those in control will tremble with rage and then fear and then with weakness and irrelevance.

What is also remarkable is the existence of one absolute standard for economics and another absolute standard for religion, in parallel but not the same! The only way to explain this is by recognizing that we are now living in a very special time in history. In economics it has sometimes been referred to as a time of liberty and justice and a free market, and in religion it is a time referred to as the Promised Day. These are different perspectives and descriptions of a similar ideal.

It is an ideal but it is real also. This real ideal is in the process of 'unfolding' or 'emerging.' And the inevitability of its emergence is because of the 'standard.'

Economics And Religion Eroded By The Ego-Driven.

There are two very similar actions and there are two very similar actors in these two powerful aspects of life. The two actions are intervention and interpretation. The two actors are interventionists and unauthorized interpreters.

The reason for the parallel 'fate' of economics and religion is because of the intercession of persons who can most accurately be labeled as ego-driven. What I mean by 'fate' is the impression that humanity has acquired over time, the impression that both economics and religion are necessary evils!

The key to understanding the action taken (intervention/interpretation) is to look at the psyche of the actors. The ego-driven actor fools himself or herself into thinking that he is capable of understanding the infinitely dynamic, give-and-take, economy and assumes that his arbitrary tinkering will somehow be an act of justice. The ego-driven interpreter deludes himself or herself into thinking that he comprehends the mysteries of the ever-living, transforming, Word of God and assumes that he can interpose himself between the Incomprehensible God and His infinitely complex human creatures.

Now compound the absurdity of the assumptions of the ego-driven with actions that distort the economy and/or the religion of God. What you get is what we have - skepticism, cynicism, and worst of all, reliance on these self-proclaimed experts for guidance.

Economic intervention and unauthorized interpretation of the Word of God are similar enough to put them side by side for examination. Seeing them side by side helps to identify the source of error and it serves as a means to educate. Those with these reins in their hands will soon be knocked off their horses.

An Economic and Religious Problem: Subjectivism Not Comprehended.

When we examine economics and religion we see turmoil because of the lack, historically, of the ability to comprehend subjectivism. This was caused by a lack of appreciation of how human thought and human action originate.

Individuals count; they matter. Relevance depends on whether 'it' - whatever it is - matters to an individual. It - whatever it is - is subjective since it pertains specifically to that specific individual. Inseparable is the relevance of whatever it is and the individual making the assessment. Subjectivism cannot be removed from human thought and action.

Economics failed when subjectivism was removed, replaced by positivism.

Religion went awry when traditions took precedence over the right of spiritual perception.

Once subjectivism - as a scientific method in economics and as a prerequisite for independednt investigation of truth in religion - is given its rightful place, both economics and religion will advance and advance side by side.

Economics And Religion Blog Launches!

The reason I decided to begin a blog that honored both economics and religion is because they are both vital and yet they are both beset with fallacious doctrines.

Not coincidentally there are numerous parallels between economics and religion. Most of the time I will point out the parallels. Sometimes the similarities will describe the black curtain of ignorance that has been draped over them. Other times the commonalities will be likened to platters filled with the promise of bounty and glory.

This blog will provide me with an avenue to express certain concepts that are not readily integrated into my other blogs: divine economy consulting, divine microeconomy consulting, divine economy ethics.
