Here is the philosophical dilemma that exists with the scientific approach used in modern times: Even though the whole is greater than the sum of its parts each discipline has defined itself and refined itself as a specialized part of the whole. Absent is the logic that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts! As a consequence modern science creates a void in the midst of reality.
Of course there are various perspectives and all of these contribute to our understanding and so they are valuable. Since they represent a bit of finite knowledge in a pool of infinite wisdom they have limitations. Who among us thinks that we understand the universe because we know how to make a good cup of coffee?
In anticipation of axiom eleven walk through the first ten axioms:
The first axiom is: Humans carry their thoughts into the realm of action.
The second axiom is: Being a seeker after truth is part of the human operating system.
The third axiom is: The definition of praxeology used in the divine economy theory is ‘purposeful action by spiritual beings’ and it is interwoven with ethics.
The fourth axiom is: Every human being decides what is best for himself (herself) and this decision is referred to as ‘subjective’ rather than as ‘selfish’ (a term which has too many biases associated with it).
The fifth axiom is: What catches the attention of human beings is the appearance of the names and attributes of God.
The sixth axiom is: The content of our actions is the conveyance of the names and attributes of God.
The seventh axiom is: Humans are interested in the science and the art of existence.
The eighth axiom is: Our human limit is the point where a higher kingdom is reached, one that is incomprehensible to the lower kingdom.
The ninth axiom is: The Word of God extends our knowledge of spiritual concepts.
The tenth axiom is: The first and foremost ethic for the divine economy is trust in God.
The eleventh axiom is: The ethics between the macro and the micro level is seamless.
Ethics can be viewed as an underlying or an overarching basis for human civilization. Ethics can also be viewed as a system of value that an individual relies on to make good decisions. Are these independent or unrelated of each other? Can you add up the systems of value for everyone to discover the 'social' equivalent?
The discovery found in ETHICS of the Divine Economy is that it is by honor and morality - that is how ethics is expressed at the macro level. At the micro level it is pure entrepreneurship (the discovery of something from nothing) that is the active expression of ethics.
Without question, ethics at the micro and macro level is seamless, and undeniably, ethics is influenced over time at the micro and macro level by the Supreme Ethicists.
