“A new earth is creating itself through the womb of the human heart.”
Pir Zia Inayat Khan
Whereas this second stage of (re)birthing, after human emergence into self-awareness, is not to produce a new earth but to evolve human consciousness and to produce a new earth aligned with the ever-evolving planetary culture – the transcendental universality of being.
Whereby, from a ‘perennial philosophical’ context, universality here implies to the primordiality and prolongation of the ‘universal truth’ as manifested by the diverse forms of revelation, historically, through holy scriptures and various faith traditions. Whereby here in the twenty-first century through integral human discernment into a fifth-dimensional consciousness to find our place in the evolutionary grand design. Ever since their creation, humans have been trying to make sense of their role in this evolutionary co-creation and now finally discerning the depth and breadth of their place in the universe.
The causal correlation of soulful solidarity (Soulidarity) is, thus a rhythmic transmutation emanating from the root source of Ihsan (virtuous beauty) as a process for human subsistence on earth. This impulse, here in the twenty-first century, is necessitated by the rising needs of the new cultural, technological, and environmental conditions that demand a conscious shift in our focus and attention to be reciprocally ‘present’. It calls for, consciously, making meaning in the emergent as well as unfolding subtle processes and their manifestation in matters related to human subsistence, e.g., matters related to finance and economics, social/communal dealings, and societal regeneration.
The Associative Impulse of Soulidarity Economy
"How then can such a macroeconomic perspective be reflected in a micro-enterprise, that is, for us, an integral enterprise that interconnects culture, polity and economy, and nature?"
The associative spirit of economics takes humanity beyond the market. In contrast to the lumbering nature of statism, the market may have much to contribute in terms of efficiency; but in itself, the market cannot generate the wider values that social and economic stability relies on. These must be born from the will to create a social order in which the economy serves humanity, not the reverse. Associative economics places human beings at the center of all economic processes, not in a wishful sense, but because it is our capacity to be both free and responsible that enables us to make conscious what is otherwise left unseen in market forces. In this sense, it is about ‘higher egoism’, about adding to one’s own interests an awareness of the needs of others, and exercising our shared knowledge, skills, and willpower accordingly.
How then can such a macroeconomic perspective be reflected in a micro-enterprise, that is, for us, an integral enterprise that interconnects culture, polity and economy, and nature?
Soulidarity Economy is a transformational journey (trans-migration from a financial economy) to patch the gap between the spiritual and the physical realms of knowledge/knowing in communal relationality, economics & enterprise-building.
