Narcissistic Spirituality

“There is a disintegration of moral integrity that parallels the disintegration of monetary integrity.” - Robert Breedlove

it is strange; perhaps it is folly to hope for anything to be universal and 'villages' of common practice are inevitable.

On Sunday, November 3, 2020, my then pastor described communications he regularly receives from a Rwandan friend. They always follow a pattern: epistle-like greetings followed by descriptions of the most mundane stuff imaginable—the rains have come, a stranger appeared in the village, etc. I was struck by the realization that life in a village enables the understanding that local, personal events are significant.
In too large a crowd or too fast a pace—or in too vast a world—the
significance of the events of each individual’s life is lost. Imagine then, the devastating impact of a major metropolis on the recognition of one’s own value in the eyes of each other. Imagine comparing one’s personal concerns and crises to the scope of all
the world’s problems.
In prayer we are reminded that the Architect of the Cosmos lowers his gaze to attend the concerns of his youngest or loneliest child—those seemingly insignificant are revealed in the light of Christ’s
countenance to be equal to presidents and tycoons.

“[Jordan] inveighs against a common phenomenon: using a confessional affirmation as the criterion for Reformed identity without regard to its role within a functional biblical theology.”

There is a certain kind of reasoning that is seemingly reasonable and yet entirely insufficient: we may most accurately call it madness. As Chesterton said, “The madman…has lost everything but his reason.”
Imagine, if you will, a person who demands to define himself: he is the god of his system and all will acknowledge his sovereign self.
To him we might say, with Chesterton, “So you are the Creator and Redeemer of the world: but what a small world it must be! What a little heaven you must inhabit…! How sad it must be to be God; and an inadequate God! Is there really no life fuller and no love more marvelous than yours; … How much happier you would be…if the hammer of a higher God could smash your small cosmos…free like other men to look up as well as down!”
This is the culture we reside within; we are demanded to submit to the whim of every discontented individual who seeks to see his malaise called health and his evil called good. It is not loving nor righteous to cooperate with the demands of a tyrant whether petty or governmental.

“Our business is to present the Christian faith clothed in modern terms, not to propagate modern thought clothed in Christian terms. Our business is to interpret and criticize modern thought by the gospel, not vice versa.”
- J. I. Packer

Paul wrote that we see dimly as if through a veil, and this applies to today’s current events unless one studies to discern the riptides surging under the ostensible surface of media propaganda.
"Contemporary practitioners of artificial order “pretend that their plans are scientific and that there cannot be disagreement with regard to them among well-intentioned and decent people,” not unlike the planners of various totalitarian regimes over the last century.
However, Mises warned that “there is not such a thing as a scientific ought. Science is competent to establish what is. It can never dictate what ought to be and what ends people should aim at.”
Since the importation of Chinese artificial order, novice dictators of formerly open societies have been imposing fixed values that not only lie well beyond the limits of a state’s action according to liberal thought, but also exceed the scope and purposes of science. Moreover, they refuse to accept that “men disagree in their value judgments.”
~Birsen Filip, summarizing and applying Mises’s _Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis_, 1962

"If you live in a place where the government silences its critics by threatening their assets or where you cannot trust the local banking system, you understand the importance of financial freedom to democracy,” said Kreps. “We want to study how people in these countries are using Bitcoin and stablecoins in the pursuit of their financial security.”
The great irony of this is that it increasingly describes the United States.

While a short-range look around the world suggests that chaos is increasing (and in pockets it does), a long-range perspective reveals that every epoch of societal evolution advances the available access to increasing degrees of justice.
Another way to say this is that the Gospel is advancing around the world, though often in almost unrecognizable guises. The Kingdom of God will not by stymied and the Gates of Hell will not prevail.
Technological advancement has often been the instrument of societal advancement. We might look at history as the dramatic results invoked by the wheel, ocean-going ships, the printing press, the Industrial Revolution, the Internet, and now by Bitcoin.
Seriously, Bitcoin is the Internet of Money, except it is intentionally designed to be resistant to control by centralized juggernauts of power. Bitcoin will change the world to the same degree, if not more, than did the Internet.
In order to understand what I am talking about you absolutely must invest 30 minutes of your life to watch the following video. It is the distillation of a 538-page book, so it's information-dense, but imagine the time discount you will receive! Furthermore it is graphically represented along the way, making it that much easier to consume and comprehend.
To understand what is happening in our world, one must understand what money is, how the monetary system works, how monetary systems have developed over time, and what is underway right now in terms of the next stage of the globally-realized increase in justice pertaining to exchange among humans and the communities they inhabit. This video delivers all of that. I urge you to set aside time to watch with intense focus.
Let me put this another way... Imagine if the American system of government (a Constitutional Republic) could have been brought into existence without a war. That is the scope and nature of the opportunity in front of us. You and I have the opportunity to become contributors to the next stage of relational evolution in a manner similar to the roles played by John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington. We cannot predict who history will remember but we can do our part anyway and let others tell the story(ies). This is no exaggeration, but you will have to watch the video to the end in order to understand.
Go and partner with God in the repair of the world by doing your part in your life. Cultivate your Garden of Faithfulness.
