Our entire body of economic theory, starting from Malthus and Keynes, is rooted in the concept of scarcity... that there's not enough to go around so that some must have more and some must have less - a win/lose game plan that translates to the oxymoronic "value of scarcity" that conceals, wastes and outright destroys abundance to maintain the scarcity that keeps prices, profits and/or control high by the "owners".

Of course that was the prevailing awareness of most of history and clearly outpictured in all the wars of the 20th Century. It's the selfish view of those who want to control populations, making merchandise of them by owning what they consume and depend on for security. And it's an obsolete view in an advanced technological world where a virtually unlimited abundance of clean energy, knowledge power, nutritious food, pure water water and holistic health could be provided for everyone... if we all agreed to serve abundance virtues rather that scarcity values.

The problem is that the most powerful win/lose special interests in the world have a vested interest in keeping common sense uncommon (scarce) regarding the potential for the Abundant Life for all mankind.

Since ownership and control is 90% of the law, those who have power through ownership and control have a value system -- under scarcity economics -- that justifies control of personal profits above public benefit if morality is lacking. And unfortunately, absolute power corrupts absolutely with outright greed consuming many of the power elite whose love of power has eclipsed the power of love in their conscience, being and world. Or a Gandhi was known to say, "Commerce without morality is a sin."

Corporate law dictates that "The interests of shareholders comes before the public wherever profits are at stake" This precedence was set by the "Red Lion" decision in "Henry Ford versus the shareholders" when they sued him for the profits he was going to pass on to the customer due to the production line he developed for Model T's. Today this win/lose scarcity-based profits-before-people gameplan (Roman Law) warrants accelerated concentration of wealth in approximately 1-2 percent of the population while the rest work more and harder for less. The value of scarcity translates to values of control and domination by the few at the expense of the many. The self-serving special interests of the few rule over the public good -- what is best for all.

I heard former President Jimmy Carter the other night (11-10-05), speaking on the Charlie Rose show about his receipt of the Nobel Peace Award a few years ago. He was asked what he saw as the biggest problem of the world as he saw it. Carter had mentioned many core issues like the fundamental shift of Church and State to commingling of values that were creating a "State Church" (religious nationalism) in contrast to the intent of U.S. Founders to keep religious "BS" (Belief System) out of State politics. But the "core" issue Carter emphasized was the polarization of rich and poor worldwide. Monied power for the sake of monied power that has been usurping human rights and the Constitution of freedom and virtue as U.S. Founders had intended.

"Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism as it is
a merge of state and corporate power."
- Benito Mussolini, the archetypal fascist

The core problem of "corporatism" -- with all it's pay-off via prestige, profit, power and pleasure (for the few) -- can best be understand as the shift of "worth-ship" -- what we value with our attention, energy and sacred labor -- and how the outer sense of "values" in a system that puts profits before people will inadvertently sabotage the inner sense of loving virtue, higher conscience, and the core Constitutional freedoms that sustain the meaning "of, by and for the people"... to rationalize and justify the reverse-engineering of the public good for corporate profits.

It's just such a corrupt system that will create passionate "BS" (Belief System) with patriotic fervor or religious zeal while creating "walls in the mind" that forge our fetters.

There's no one more enslaved than those who believe they are free but whose minds are closed to the ultimate meaning of "survival" as the survival of ultimate meaning, value and purpose. That may sound like a self-evident truth, but the greatest mysteries of God-in-man -- for the evolutionary ascent of mankind as kind men -- are confounded by the selfishness and greed of a few who speak with high-sounding words for the many.

To be in the world but not of the world is the test that's best in this dense/dark octave of "incarnation" (schoolroom if you will) where "the light shineth in the darkness but the darkness comprehendeth it not". Indeed the most difficult thing in the world is to remain non-attached to worldly things - the perks that pay-off (bribe) the common sense of the public Spirit with the lock-step, linear walls in the mind (letter of the law), that killeth the Spirit of the law.

The only thing we will take with us past this life is that which we learn in this life. And without owning your own learning -- transcending the stinking thinking of paradigm paralysis -- we take with us our mindset of thought and feeling; until we understand and forgive the pain done to us, we are condemned to recreate it.

Breaking the cycles of personal and planetary discord, dis-ease, and dysfunction that lead to death of the soul is the paradigm shift that all upward-mobile souls pursue. It ain't rocket science; LOVE is the heart of it.

“Man can harness the winds, the waves and the tides,
but when he can harness the power of love,
then for the second time in the history of the world,
man will have discovered fire.”
– Teihard de Chardin
