The Twelve Pathways- Economy

Economy

Virtues pertaining:

Here is the quality of harmonizing alongside the perception of flux and flow and the grand exchange.

When developed we find a greater sensitivity and appreciation of all other beings outside of ourselves, with thus a strengthening of the ego-sheath in that process.

Via communication we come to insights of shared experience. The virtue here therefore is one of community and of kindness as well.

Major flaws associated with deficit:

• Thievery (no comprehension of karmic exchange or observance thereof)

• Piracy

• Grandiose delusions of self, of possessions and of ability

• Ruination of others’ work (without conscience)

Minor problems associated:

• Self incurred poverty

• Gambling

• Selfishness (inability to give charitably)

• Plagiarism

• The illusion that material wealth is somehow ‘earned’ (when affluent) and also the illusion that material wealth is to be taken for self (when poor)

• Little or no conversational skills - verbal outpouring about self, lacking sensitivity towards others’ interests
