There Is A New Advancement In The Divine Economy Theory.

Even though I frequently add comments that are stimulated by issues that come up in the current news and that these sometimes are new perspectives - maybe not thoroughly covered in the divine economy theory book series - these newly discovered advancements are not comprehensive.

The fact of the matter is that I am now in a marketing stage. From 2005 until the summer of 2012 I was dedicated to developing and writing the foundational literature of the divine economy theory. It basically 'came full circle' from macroeconomics to microeconomics to ethical economics to economic justice. Of course the science can and will continue to advance but my focus changed towards marketing the products and the theory.

But I encountered several inspiring and informative pieces over the last week and I also re-encountered an inspiring piece which when I encountered it in the past I missed its significance!

When I show you the very potent segment of the quote you probably will not recognize its import since I assume that you have yet to be familiar with the divine economy theory or to be able to deeply comprehend the foundation of the theory:
". . . the love of God, the axis around which souls revolve in their way and supplication to God." (Abdu'l-Baha, Baha'i World Faith - Abdu'l-Baha Section, p. 363)
Reducing it further; "the love of God, the axis around which" puts it into terms that make it interchangeable with the divine economy theory models. Once that becomes possible then the potency of the models increases exponentially and the thrill of contemplation and meditation on the manifold and resplendid meanings of these potent words begins to bloom.

Initially I thought I could describe this advancement in a blog entry but the most limiting factor is the graphics capability of blogs. I have determined that an adequate description of the advancement will require modifying the narrative of the potency of 44 divine economy theory diagrams.

And so the main purpose of documenting this advancement is to make it known that - should I die before I have a chance to incorporate these advancements into updated editions of my books - there is an incredible new element that makes the divine economy theory even more exciting and applicable to the human action of purposeful spiritual beings.

Are The "Scientists" Searching For Where Ethics Kicks In?

It is true that happiness is an ends and it may be the ultimate ends for individuals but ends like means have intermediary stages for whatever reason (primarily because humans do not have perfect knowledge - the world is one of uncertainty). And so humans make choices of means and ends (imperfectly) and they make them subjectively.

In many instances the means and the ends are closely associated and the distinction between them is fuzzy at best. Peace, for example, is an ends and it is a means. When 'economists' apply their arbitrary and artificial distinction between these - to examine the economic ramifications of choosing peace as a means (economics being the study of the means to attain an ends) - they are flummoxed by such a means! The closer the 'economist' is to being an empiricist the more flummoxed the 'economist' is! The fall back position is to stop the 'scientific' or more specifically the 'economic' inquiry and examination.

Has the limit been reached? Is that what everyone says and thinks? Is that where the literature seems to draw the line? Is going further nothing but metaphysics?

Well, I made a discovery and I used my technical training in classical liberalism to penetrate this fuzziness. No one has to accept this statement blindly. Nor should they discount it blindly!!!

The quest here is to see if ethics and economics are separable or inseparable?  I have made an original and significant contribution to this quest - as a result of my own quest for a better understanding - and all I can do is to bring it to your attention (and the attention of whoever else is exploring this scientific realm).
