2. This explanation allows people to “zoom out” if they are too focused on one area, and to show that each of them is important. It is meant to show the significance of each part. It is also meant to remove importance from imaginary, unfulfilling concepts, like money and power. However, it is not saying that these concepts are actually separate in any way. In fact, it is the separation of these concepts that causes problems; the divide between objective and subjective, between work and play, etc. The concepts of good and bad are simply the level of harmony, alignment, and balance of these factors. If something does not recognize the unity of these components, it can cause bad. What is good is that which brings these things into balance and harmony, fulfilling all of them. Each of these parts is in constant interaction with each other, and the more our activities and understanding meets all of them the happier and wealthier we will all be.

3. Like cells of a single body, we humans must recognize that though completely unique individuals, we are also completely equal members of a single human race. When one of us is in pain or neglected, none of us can be truly happy. Just as the concepts mentioned earlier are never to be separated, our different levels community and identity are never to be separated, or emphasized over another. If an individual cares only for itself, it becomes cancerous, putting its own needs over the needs of the body, constantly accumulating more wealth and power, never stopping. If a larger group does this, it is like a tumor. A nation may be united within itself, but nationalism leads it to put its own needs over the needs of other “organs” of the human race and their individual cells. We must recognize that we are all part of a single body, and seek equality and justice for all its members, while maintaining unique cultures and identities on the community and individual level to prevent homogenization and provide diversity and color to the large human mosaic /tapestry we are a part of. “The exercise of power in any institutionalized form– whether economic, political, religious, or sexual– brutalizes both the wielder of power and the one over whom it is exercised”

4. It’s a community’s duty, whether familial, municipal, regional, national, global, or otherwise, to provide necessary individual inputs and opportunities for individual outputs to all of it’s members, without depriving those outside of the community. A community is successful based on how well these needs are met, how equally its members are provided with resources and opportunities, and how valuable each input and output is allowed to be by sharing throughout the community.

5. It should be understood that concepts like “wealth” and “economy” are imaginary concepts, like this paradigm, created to meet these needs. True wealth is not only material or monetary, but the fulfillment of all of these factors. An economy is good only as long as it fulfills all of these factors and recognizes their importance and unity. Physical, material possessions are good only to the extent they fulfill these needs, and should not be sought for their own sake. Ownership and possession are imaginary concepts, when we are born we bring nothing with us, nor do we take anything with us when we die. Life and everything in it is a gift, it belongs to both nobody and everybody. It doesn’t matter who owns something, only God owns it. Instead, all that matters is who can use it, and the more people able to fully use it the more its value. Just like how we are taught to share as children, sharing as adults will lead to a higher quality of life for all people.
