Quite plausibly, to keep driving growth against an exponentially increasing technology deflation, global debt could become a number so high that the only way out is to hit the reset button. The truth is we have probably already passed that

“Like all other initiatic teaching, Egypt held that man's purpose on earth was the return to the source. There were recognised in Egypt two roads to this same goal. The one was the way of Osiris, who represented the cyclic nature of universal process; this was the way of successive reincarnations. The second road was the way of Horus, the direct path to resurrection that the individual might achieve within a single lifetime. It is the Horian way that is the basis of the Christian revelation and, according to Schwaller de Lubicz, the aim of Christianity was to make this direct path available to all who chose to embark upon it, rather than to a small group of select initiates who, in Egypt, comprised ‘The Temple’. In this sense, and in this sense only, has there been ‘evolution’ in human affairs.”

“Dynamism occurs in two matrixes of sequence. I mean matrix in the same sense as in the movie The Matrix—an environment or context in which things happen. Water is the matrix of tea, meaning that tea happens in water. Cyberspace is the matrix of e-mail, meaning that e-mail happens in cyberspace. The matrix of sequence in space is time, meaning that everything that happens happens in time. The matrix of sequence outside of space is eternity. Many people think that eternity is infinite time, but that isn’t how the Bible describes it. Eternity is a separate matrix of sequence in that every point of time is present to every point of eternity. That is why prophecy is possible. God lives in eternity, and from every point of the dynamic matrix of eternity, all of time is present.”

“Our minds, once full of light, life, and abundance, are now filled with limiting knowledge. Knowledge is meant to set the mind free, but the knowledge we learn often has the direct opposite effect. We learn more about what is impossible than about how to think and imagine what is possible. When we bring our minds to God, we begin to be set free from natural thinking, and the imagination begins to soar freely once again. The limits of the imagination begin to be lifted, and we receive in our imagination what could be described as “ears to hear” (Mark 4:9). As our imagination begins to be unlocked, we are now open to hear something and see something in our imagination that we might have been closed off to entertaining in times past.”

“We also need to be heard. Even before a child masters language, they coo and babble, making noises to be heard. It’s painful for children when they are not heard. As adults we still need people to hear us when we speak, even if they disagree. It’s deeply frustrating not to be heard. It diminishes our humanness.”

“New strategies, better programs, skinny jeans, louder music, and hipster beards won’t rescue the church from the sticky position we now find ourselves in. We need a new imagination. An imagination that understands what Paul means by “new creation.”
