We don't have a debt crisis, we have a wealth crisis. And the problem with our wealth is not that it lacks, but that it doesn't flow.
Motherly abundance flows in a circle to nourish the earth, like fresh water. Wealth is the very embodiment of Mother Divine: Goddess Annapurna the fullness of food, Goddess Lakshmi the fullness of beauty, Goddess Shakti the fullness of health. But what flows up must flow down.
When wealth accumulates at the top of a pyramid, it stagnates. When wealth flows in a circle, it stimulates. There is plenty to go around: but it must go round.
True revolution turns pyramids into circles. Turning the pyramid into a circle is the economy of Mother Divine. The very word economy comes from the Greek nomos, law, and ecos, home. Economy means the law of the home, the law of the household.
A family is a circle, not a pyramid. And we are one human family in our round home, the earth. Let abundance flow.
These are not my words. These are the radical economic teachings of the Mother:
God has overturned the thrones of the mighty
and lifted up the lowly and the meek.
God has filled the hungry with good things
and emptied the coffers of the rich.
(Song of Mary, Luke 1)
