Healing systems, versus conservatism.But what are Healing systems as defined on the matrix? Or more specifically, what constitutes a "healing system" as an unmanifest form that has its manifest in the phenomenon of money? The painting from Christ and Christmas that applies to this position may help to answer this question, partially. In the painting, called Christ Healing, we see a young woman in a coffin being raised to life by Christ Jesus. The verse for the painting reads: In tender mercy, Spirit sped A loyal ray To rouse the living, wake the dead, And point the way. What the painting tells us, and what the verse repeats, is the fundamental theme that material human living has the characteristic of a transitional structure. One possible transition is towards death, the other towards life. In a metaphorical sense, this is the design criteria that we set for ourself that becomes manifest in our financial policies. The gold-standard system is a recipe for death, because there simply is not enough gold in the world to allow the system to expand according to the dynamic expansion of life. The inevitable outcome of such a system is a transition into Conservatism, which in this case means economic collapse. Of course, the gold-standard system can have many faces, such as the current hoarding of strategic metals such as gold, oil, and even food, for the purpose of driving up the price. Such monetizing of commodities is transitional to conservatism and collapse. A Healing system that is the unmanifest of Civic Institution is one that enables the raising of the status of society and civilization. In terms of money, the structure of a "healing system" raises awareness to Principle that reflects itself in civic systems or in the money markets as an open ended financial system for creating low cost or zero-interest credits for development activities, infrastructure building, scientific / technological research, advanced agriculture and industrialization, but not for war or speculation. Whatever investment flows into developing the human potential is inherently profitable, which profit, in turn, gets used for raising the status of society. Investments into war and speculation, on the other hand, are lost resources. Nothing productive comes out of such ventures. They are a bottomless drain on real wealth. It is obvious that the credit generating institution must be a federal institution of a sovereign nation-state, and cannot be a private venture that represents investors' profits such as the present oligarchic world financial system. A "healing system," in terms of finances, is necessarily a very specific and scientifically founded system. It is singular in nature, in contrast to the multitudes of different schemes of financial instruments that are traded in vast quantities in a circus-like atmosphere. The use of the word "healing" for this element has been adapted from Mary Baker Eddy's title for the painting that applies here, which she called "Christ Healing." The "healing" that the painting indicates is Christ Jesus' act of raising someone to life. The equivalent in monetary terms is a type of moral development that creates a financial system based on development oriented principles that create infrastructures, technologies, and industries, that create knowledge and more effective resources for living. Such a system, literally does raise mankind to life. It cannot fail. Ultimately every process of healing must be seen as a process designed to raise a patient to life. Many testimonies have appeared in Christian Science journals over the years in which individuals testify that a healing of some bodily disorder had come with the side effect of improved morals, attitudes, capabilities and other aspects that have raised the life of the individual to a new height of living, such as has never been experience before. This is how the Christ-truth heals mankind, bodily and financially, individually and as a nation, generating constantly new heights of development. || - page index - || - chapter index - || - Exit - ||
