I Have A Dream
With full acknowledgement to the giant civil rights mass movement originator Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the template upon which this speech is based:
I Have a Dream
When our ancestors were hunters and gatherers and then cultivators of various crops and domesticators of animals they partook of the bounty of the earth and understood and appreciated that abundance. I have a dream that mankind will return to such a mindset. A mindset that knows and appreciates the gracious bounty, the abundance and the basic goodness of Life and Living now made possible by those same natural resources and our modern ability to produce…and that balances all monetary, economic and ecological factors in a loving and rational embrace of all life and the planet we inhabit. I have a dream.
I have a dream. I have a dream that the wealthy and powerful controllers of the present economy will join hands with all businesses and all individuals and enable the additional money needed to make the economy flow abundantly to be directly distributed to individuals.
I have a dream that businesses and individuals will awaken to the common interest they share of always having sufficient actually spendable incomes in the hands of individuals so that they can continuously and fully consume the products of those businessmen.
I have a dream that politicians, in order to better serve their constituencies, will join in this gracious overall and underlying statesman like purpose by passing and enacting the policies that perfectly reflect our abundant ability to produce and distribute.
I have a dream that the scientist and the religious advocate will join hands and together celebrate the meaning of grace and its reflecting major characteristics of balance, abundance, beauty, flow, awe and enjoyment, so that those meanings may be the reality we create and experience throughout the days of our lives. I have a dream today.
I have a dream where there is more abundant profit, more generally abundant and more ultimately satisfying consumption, and much more leisure time to contemplate and enjoy Life in whatever positive and constructive purposes the individual may freely choose to do, to build and to participate in. I have a dream today.
I have a dream that man will rise up and better fulfill his actual species designation of homo sapiens, wise and discerning man. Too long have we been unconscious cogs in too small of a game called homo economicus. Man is greater than that. Man is more noble than simply that. Man deserves an economic and money system that serves him in all of his many available purposes and most especially in his ultimate purpose of self development. I have a dream today.
I have a dream that all men will look at and actually see the importance, the necessity, the beauty and the Goodness of this vision…and then make it their purpose as well. Let us open our hearts and our minds to the idea, the policies, and so better, the experience of Grace. Let us have a philosophy of Grace and its Goodness that blesses every individual who embraces it, and a policy of Grace that penetrates the entirety of the economy and reaches all the way to every individual with our abundant ability to produce. Let the freedom, the abundance and the balance of Grace ring throughout the land.
And let us say, "We cannot stop, we will not stop, and we will go forward and make this dream our own and the earthly reality for all!" Then is when we can all join together and sing in a paraphrase of the words of the old negroe spiritual, “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty….we are spiritually and economically free at last!
