The outcome of creativity provides the physical resources that are essential to life.  These created resources simply do not exist on any other platform, except on this naturally spiritual and intelligent platform.  This is the platform that Lyndon LaRouche has endeavored to raise, that he has devoted his life to.

Lyndon LaRouche calls himself an economist.  This may not be an accurate definition, because the same term also applies to other economists who see great virtue in poverty and therefore aim to trim the human race back to those more primitive levels by means of starvation, increased diseases, and the countless effects of underdevelopment which these false 'economists' like to impose upon targeted populations.  Justice requires one to set the record right between economists who build upon spirituality as a basis, and the poverty oriented economists who aim to built upon injury a new centrally dominated world order in which no one is free.  It requires one to make clear the existing night and day separation between an economist devoted to injury bound economics centered on poverty and depopulation, and an economist who is devoted to the development of the infinite potential of the human being.  The factor that highlights this separation is spirituality.

It should be noted that spirituality is not religion, although some religions are designed to awaken the native spirituality of man.  For thirteen centuries after the era of Christ Jesus' demonstrations of mankind's spiritual dominion, spirituality became smothered almost to death in Europe.  The most monumental advance in civilization that had occurred up this point, identified today as the Greek Classical era, had been literally erased the unfolding imperial disregard of spirituality.

The Greek civilization began with a literal miracle, by which a primitive mountain culture had raised itself within a few short centuries into the most advanced culture on the planet.  It brought forth geniuses like Solon, Socrates, Plato, Eratosthenes, and Christ Jesus who emerged at the tail end of that era, and with a tie to a long standing monotheist culture.  Still, none of this unfolding spirituality had been able to stand against the Roman Empire.  Greece lost 87% of its population under Roman control.  This is how the dark ages begun, that would have been exceedingly bright ones had mankind learned to acknowledge and cherish its spiritual strength.

The so-called Christian church that rose out of the ashes of that renaissance, never became a spiritual institution.  It fulfilled various functions within the structures of empires.  In fact, the church itself, held back the spirit of discovery and creative reasoning for many ages.  The church became known for its inquisitions, which had nothing to do with any search for the truth.  It became the center of brutality and torture.  It became a tool for controlling the masses and keeping them in the dark.  It had no room for creative reasoning of the type that had flourished before, and was still flourishing in China at the time of the dark ages in Europe, bringing there a rich harvest in advanced discoveries.

China had made tremendous cultural and technological advances while Europe had kept itself tied into knots in its dark ages.

Both of these developments, somehow, ended in the 14th century.  The long chain of cultural advancement in China had ended slightly earlier when the Mongol hordes ravished that land.  The great darkness that had gripped Europe had at last made its way into China from where it returned with a vengeance in the form of the Black Plaque.  But then, at the end of the 14th century a renewal of spirituality began to take hold in Europe that quickly mushroomed into what became the Renaissance.  It must be said, therefore, that the beginning of 15th century marks the real turning point in European history that the Christian era of the first century should have been, and might have been if the Roman Empire had never been born.
