Embrace the divine economy, see needs met

Mark Raffles

What are the elements that make up the world’s economy?

The macroeconomy and financial markets are made up of millions of individual decisions, creating commerce and the movement of assets. The world’s economy is the product of the collective consciousness of millions of individuals—and each individual’s human experience is shaped by how they view the world.

A view that one’s experience is random, or at the mercy of forces far beyond one’s control, can’t contribute to constructive outcomes. On the other hand, a consciousness that acknowledges the omnipotent power of God to consistently supply everyone’s basic needs, as well as opportunities to be productive and creative, helps bring that good into individual and collective experience.
