To God's Glory

Thoughts about a better world's ways.

I have to hold that many people, particularly some elder, may be putting too much analytical equity into things that often generate pitfalls in our present system. Since everyone will likely live their life in the way they see fit, within the realm of possibilities seen; failing communications and less than thorough analysis may be stealing from them the potential to more fully express and glorify God's fuller nature that works in even this crippled creation.

I am not trying to generate a hard fast system. Yet, if we would look at our resource/financial base as being two basic types; among everything else; one might better see what is possible, and how it can be wisely rewarded when executed properly. First I should say that financial systems are just a method to manage our resources as wisely as possible. That said, it might be wisest to look at products as consisting of both, basic substantive resources, and cultivation processes that modify those resources. The key points at the bottom of this analysis is that one cannot work with a negative amount of substantive resources. Yet, IOUs are very possible, (being actually quite common in our present system) for the cultivation processes. One clear example is the Federal Reserve note (our common paper currency). It is actually an IOU between the Federal Government and the Federal Reserve Bank.

When one separates out the substantive resources from that system, then a few things become a bit more obvious. First, given the Declaration of Independence's statement that all men are created equal before God, and thus implying that they should thus be given an equal opportunity; to provide that opportunity each should have the potential to cultivate upon a reasonable amount resource base to express that equality, and glorify God. Do to the fact that we are also just as equally weak by ourselves; we need to be cultivating each other. And wisely analyzed, it is the way to enhance the value of ourselves and the economy as a whole, within a given resource base; and even to make resources more available and sustainable for those in the future, that can offspring from such an endeavoring spirit.

This tends to bring about a bottom line perspective, where we look at each others potential, to cultivate and be cultivated, from the point of view of risks. Moving us to considering how each is best able to relate to the other parts of the system in a healthy way. That being the case, and human nature finding a stable respectful reward system, it can then move forward to in that endeavor.  Thus seeking to generate a a healthy whole that ultimately may better express the glorify of God's fuller nature, in a way that civilized man can readily relate to as being a fulfilling expression thereof.  [In the end only God is glorified; yet for humanity and it civilizations, the time for the drawing to be in that ONE may be too far past.  Nothing is impossible with God, though.]


Admittedly, to execute in its fullest sense, it would likely require a lot of records and assessing to make the system work as one might imagine. And given that our present system is more like one of those "Keep It Simple Stupid" endeavors; we likely have a long way to go. To God's glory, this also implies, that there is great potential in moving to a more refined way of managing our natural and human resources. Doing so also allows the introduction of funds into the system at much lower levels. As the assessing process provides assurance of valued output being properly represented by the funds put into the system to allow it to function is the positive realm.

WAYS THIS MAY WORK OUT IN A COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT.

Governments would still likely have to insure there are processes to prevents entities from generating oppressive conditions upon other entities. Given the tendency to want to build each other up [as that generates the greatest cultivational rewards], the natural competitive potential would generally be put under its influence; thus with valid cultivation talking the loudest, government may even get simpler and smaller; perhaps someday even shrinking much of it to lines of code in the analysis processes. Though, removing human and other real feedback would be the ultimate of foolishness.

One of the basic things I imagine this would generate would be institutions that compete for the opportunity to work with peoples resources, to enhancement the peoples' potential, focusing on generating and sustaining the local "environment" the way the investing persons appreciates and finds supportive; while analyzing, as best they can, for (other) such stable realms within the full principles of God's reality. These institutions could function and compete for persons at many levels. Many may likely being formed as a business-learning-insurance kind of entity, that could provide a common bases to function on; especially for many who are presently getting lost in the present system.  Since it functions in a way they find best reflects reality's ways; it should better meet their needs in their life. These institutions should be thorough enough in trying to relate to the whole that they likely could, and may even be required to [noting the full laws of reality], work with all, from the richest, down to the most poorly cultivated, such as those incarcerated, or otherwise put aside, due to their inability to function in the present common system. The ultimate foundation that we all have to work on is God's laws of reality in the fullest analysis possible as they endeavor toward posterity's health. And being limited entities, finding just how to best relate to that full nature of reality will always be a ~living~ endeavor.  There will alway be those managing (or ~owning~) large amount of resources. As long as they are satisfying common needs or concerns, the arrangement would be quite a sustainable state. And since there will always be those who will do their best by specializing in what they focus on; they will often find it best to put management of many details in others hands.  A big benefit of competing institutions is the ability to overcome the relatively hypnotized state of analysis the inidividual human mind can have trying to address all the things reality can throw at them. This has often lead to systems of governance that are much more dominating than might actually have to be.  No doubt common literacy and the acquisition of basic management skills help a lot also.  Yet the required understanding in this world is getting more complex all the time.  We're all ending up in the same boat to some degree more often, in that respect, also.

In order to determine the amount of common currency needed in the system, these institutions would not only assess the work of those contractually working with them, they could and likely should also assess the work done through other institutions. [Obviously, identifying who is doing what is not the point, so a reasonable amount of privacy should be assured.] Where there was common agreement as to the value being generated in the economy, our Federal Government [for example] would be at a low risk to put funds into the economy to allow that work to be in the positive realm.  As for the value of the currency, it inherently derives from what there is available to work with, material and cultivational abilities or potentials.  Evening out over a long period something like the short term values in the Futures Market may be of some value for determining the value of material funds.  Cultivation money may be more related to skills and equipment available to do what is needed.  Spread that out over a long period of time for a value for that.  Makes more sense to me than gold or the likes alone.  I hear there is enough gold already mined that it could be made into a cubic mile block.  That gives 10,000,000,000 people about 14 cubit feet each.  Where's your truck?  I don't see its need ever being that great...
 
  No doubt errors will occur with any system, yet with clear records of the way things were done, even the information of what does not work has a future value, in that it can eliminate a repetition of that method being tried again. And possibly, if it is not a precise repeat of a recorded failed endeavor, it should see something of a reward for being validly recorded, and for being kept functionally related to present analysis endeavors. The other thing that likely would come out of such a financial perspective, would be a flexible analysis of anythings value. As long term assessing may show that something actually be more stable, functional and harmonious, etc., than an initial assessment may have determined, and also the reverse can occur, even in part. Errors in analysis that lead to irreversible changes upon a sustaining system, may prove the most costly in the long run. So the conversations generated in competing for peoples resource 'investment' may be the most valuable result generated. I personally see the sustainability of farms at risk. Most people have little idea of what they are actually buying into, presently.

And probably the most significant factor that would likely come out of it would be the conclusion that some of God's gifts, such as a gifted skill or even nature's generations are beyond our present ability to fully compensate or evaluate in any human financial system. Thus they will likely have to see their full rewards in heaven's fuller expressions.

Even so noted, refined financial management tools may still function reasonably acceptably. Though humanity's heart and mind, so enlightened, looking through the purest of its heart and logic, can glorify God greatness. Thus even putting the financial system in its place, under God, like everything else in creation. And often being gifted in such honesty the allowance to validly analyze it, and thus enabling vision for improvement.

Even the renown Jesus, once said, "...he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. For whether is greater, he that sits at meat, or he that serves? Is not he that sits at meat? But I am among you as he that serves."[LUKE 22:26-27]

The Lord's [(or) Boss's] Prayer:  
            (with a possible variant translation derived from Hebrew ~equivalents~).
 
Our Father which is in heaven,
(Creator of us which exists with re-membering [(or) our also~ing]),

holy be your name.
(dedicatedly existing your nature).

Thy kingdom come
(Your realming brings)

thy will be done
(your bond existing do)

upon the earth as (it is) in heaven.
(over that firm [(or) one~tender(ing)] like (it exists) with also~ing of us~ing).

Giving us this day our daily bread
(Giving us (at) this time our sustenance for this time).

and forgiving us our debts as we forgive our debtors.
(then covering us (even) our debts like we cover our debtors).

And lead us not into temptation,
(Then shepherding us not into oppression),

but deliver us from evil.
(rather saving us from oppressors).

For Thine* is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.
(Since 'Yours' exists that realming, then that powering, then that glorying, eternally).

Amen
(So it is)
(Thus it exists).
***************

Thine*: This word may have been long favored as it rhymes with divine; which is the purest focus.
(To divine means to sense something, ideally fully, and so to find a better way.)

(Lord means boss.  Realities full nature (eternally noted) is the One running things.)  One may note here that Jesus is differentiating himself from the/his Creator.  One might note that without there being differences notable in an environment, it is unable to express anything.  Son [Builder, or Building] must inherently be subject to the Creator.  Though one may note that once done, it joins to be with of the eternally living Creating One.  It a relationship concern, not a material focus.  Jesus mentioned, "I and (my) Father are one(~ing)".  One might note its substantive expression with statements like.  "My father works to here, and I work."  And his conversation to his disciples after he was with the Samaritan woman at the well.  He said, "I have meat to eat you don't know about."  They therefore asked each other, "Has someone had brought him something to eat?"  He responded with, "My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work."
