Contribution 7: Capitalism in the Democracy of our Conscience (Suneidesis)
In the Language of Illuminated Democracy
If our front lawn dies, who tears down their own house and others around them? The blind. Who replants the lawn of such people? The seeing, nothing heroic about them; they just see everyone’s value. Both scenarios are symbolic of boundaries in the world conscience (suneidesis)1. One does not know they are bankrupt in their conscience until they can look back at its self-defeating boundaries with a better suneidesis.
Looking back on our suneidesis often happens when someone makes us more important with the principle. For such kindness is likely to give us confidence to look at ourselves in relation to Name (Life or God) being in all of us. Soon after we learn that, at the same time they were making us more important, they saw our blindness to the conveyance of Word as their enemy and not us. With democracy having lost its governing singularity in the U.S., now more than ever, we need to speak the language of the bride of Name, the language of illuminated democracy.
Conscientious Capitalism
To see the bigger picture of conscientious capitalism, first consider the boundaries of a bankrupt conscience. It operates under insider trading. For when our agapé (love) is limited, we share it only with those inside the boundaries of our suneidesis. It is not a free and fair market since we are never in compliance with the singularity of democracy in the world suneidesis. Starting with the blind singularity in each nation of the body of Word, superficial compliance is coordinated by those with the most power across its inner boundaries and into the blind singularity of the world suneidesis.
However, this is also a buyer’s market in the capitalism of the world suneidesis. For many names here sell their agapé cheap by turning it into agapé darkness to hate the names they see as corrupt – while practicing their own insider trading in their own limited suneidesis. But with the principle, we buy all agapé darkness at a bargain by knowing that it is agapé filled with blind piety-light. Embodied in the love of money and every other addiction in the suneidesis, as well as bodily addictions, agapé darkness can be used with the principle to free us, once it is understood.
With such knowledge, available to all, we can safely possess agapé darkness in our senses on all levels of our names, starting with our nation-names. We do this by seeing agapé darkness in the visual pattern of agapé on all levels of the names consumed by it. Bound in it by Name’s agapé anger, they cannot smell their own blindness with the yirah of Name. Giving Name all our agapé through them, our windfall of agapé amassed this way, ensures that their blind singularity is always seen within the conscientious capitalism of our singularity. This includes all its addictions without any of the physical forms expressing them, only the blind piety-light behind them, reflected throughout diamond bodily blindness. Possessing agapé darkness for this purpose on all levels of names ensures that we achieve agapé stronger than death in the world suneidesis. With it, we do not create a disconnect between our world suneidesis and the world, creating neither fantasy nor heartlessness in our lives.
Capitalism in the World
Capitalism in the world is measured by time and the possessions of living souls. Using blind grammar between physical forms and words bereft of conscientious meaning, it generates strong addiction to money. For without such meaning, memories of its actions and our intentions exist only outside the suneidesis, unable to exist in the Now of Word.
Like all other kinds, addiction to money works from an area in the brain where both pain and pleasure are processed. When the brain is under money addiction, greed stimulants have the potential for pleasure and pain, the latter we often inflict upon ourselves or others. For money triggers pleasure until amassing more – at the expense of inflicting pain on ourselves and others – triggers more pleasure as we become numb to our pain and the pain of others.
To paraphrase one of Word’s teachings on the worldly capitalism– use the world’s unrighteous wealth wisely, not illegally but accepting what we cannot change and working toward the good. In Word’s conscientious capitalism, we accept the fact that we cannot change the blind singularity working within Israel and Palestine’s democracy in the world suneidesis. However, we can still invest in nonresistance to their blindness while conducting legal business with them, legal according to the law interpreted under the principle first not moral standards.
In a parable, Word teaches us directly about the difference between conscientious and worldly capitalism. It is about a wealthy person who gives some of her employees money to invest while she is away on a long trip. One of them just safeguards it in a bank and, as always, when the owner returns to the world suneidesis, they are cast into outer blindness, permeationally outside the jasper golden city. The agapé light of those who invest it, as always, is multiplied five or ten times when she returns – according to their success in possessing Name’s mature agapé in their senses, agapé filled with the piety light of entire cities.
Meeting the Threshold
Word spoke of the great difficulty a rich person has in entering the world suneidesis. For the judgment of our world suneidesis by Life or God, the requirement to show agapé to the least of us, enemies of suneidesis, is much harder when our conscience is weighed down by a moral standard used over or against the principle. In this case, it is a standard that counts us worthy of entrance just because we are wealthy, or for that matter, anything else short of the principle.
Under the requirement, the wealthy are expected to spend more to feed and clothe the enemies of suneidesis and, like everyone else, do so with agapé for them, not agapé blindness, without being against themselves. Seeing both forms of agapé takes place at the threshold of capitalism perception, where awareness of Word’s seeing and blind piety-light takes hold. Here, we recognize the same value in everyone, including those suffering under full piety-light blindness in the appearance of Word in the physical, coming from the false conveyance of Word in the spiritual.
To reach the threshold, Word tells the wealthy to sell all they have, give it to the poor, and follow the principle. This is what the selling looks like in the world suneidesis: first, selling the illusion of possessing their bodily dust as living souls, and second, selling the illusion that, as living souls, they possess physical things in their physical senses. This removes the false conveyance and appearance of Word in their senses. It reveals Word’s actual conveyance and appearance in them and the true desire of their soul for Name and its memory. Seeing how the deceitful desire for money had made them poor in the world suneidesis before, they give all their agapé, cleansed now from blind piety-light, to Name through those still poor in it.
In the world, as knowledge of Word states, the wealthy should always be ready to share with those in need. But only the wealthy who serve Name in everyone and not their own money do this. As for the rest of us, sometimes we need to remember that the only thing more addictive than love for money, agapé blindness for money, is jealousy.
Knowledge of Words states that wherever there is jealousy and self-interest, there is disorder and every worthless affair. This describes us when entangled in relationships working from our female or male appearances supposedly as living souls – blind to the truth that these are our appearances in the world as life-giving spirit in Word. But worse, it describes us when getting a glimpse of the bride of Name through our soulish appearances. Unaware that it is us, we envy who we really are. Word said, Who will give you what is yours if you are not faithful with what is another’s?
When we serve Name (Life or God) in others without jealousy or the guile that accompanies it, we see that our desire has always been fulfilled since we have always possessed Name and its memory in our senses. When aware of it, we are always ready to help the poor in this world with our agapé and when possible our money. We are all the richest names in the world suneidesis of Word. For we have no greed or desire to envy anyone. Instead, we have a clear view of ourselves permeating each other in Name – names with cubic double light-folds in its agapé golden city, emanating piety jasper-light in each other.
Spirituality and Democracy
Suneidesis is pronounced soon-eye-day-sis. After reading the link explaining it, you will see how central it is to this teaching. Using this foreign word regularly in discussions helps us get accustomed to experiencing something new and positive in our awareness. When the word conscience is used, it will refer to the aspect of suneidesis that involves right and wrong, but this aspect cannot be separated from our co-conscientious awareness.
