Charles Eisenstein quote from p. 122, Sacred Economics, 2011, Evolver.
I have been finishing up Sacred Economics during this time of fall harvest and thanksgiving. I have enjoyed this read especially as I add in vocabulary and analogy from my background in Permaculture Design and Community Development.
Eisenstein's economics of a more beautiful world
follows the ecologic of health,
like a richly embryonic egg-yolk
pulls its developmental compost
from ecologically balanced,
ubiquitously transparent,
gooey to more scientific-reductive touch,
norms.
So, this gives me cause for regenerative thanksgiving,
in this Earth-optimizing time
of Co-Falling and Co-Arising Harvest.
One illustration, my additions in brackets:
"The money [health] system we have today
is the manifestation of the scarcity mentality
that has dominated our civilization
[and threatened our wilderness Commons]
for centuries.
When that mentality changes,
the money [health] system will change
to embody a new [eco]consciousness.
In our current [competitively unhealthy] money system,
it is mathematically
[and logically]
impossible for more than a minority of people
[and species]
to live in abundance,
because the money [health and beauty] creation process
maintains
[yet also struggles with]
systemic [economic and political power] scarcity.
One man's [Yang-power] prosperity
is another man's [Yin-flow/function] poverty."
[And, therefore,
the prosperous man's reverse-co-falling flow/function yin-poverty issue
as well.]
Co-arising with co-falling abundant thanksgiving-it-forward harvest
of eco-centric consciousness.
