Frugality
As things and events are the endless variations that life
is able to generate within the spacetime sequences (the presents)
one could define frugality as the most sophisticated use of
spacetime. The ability reality has
to generate, has found in the mind (Homo
Faber) an extraordinary coordinator, improviser, inventor,
creator. The more complex the event,
the more stringent is the coordination of the elements entering
in the making of it. The canary event is more frugal than
the jumbo jet event because the cause effect in them works
on different spacetime beats.
The MCD paradigm
is frugality made operative. The extreme instance is the Omega Seed event "within" which, in a nullified spacetime,
the whole cosmic experience form beginning (B.B.)
to end (B.C.) is revealed to itself.
The total, pure Being.
Frugality is a process of internalization
because MCD is fundamentally a processor
of the outer into the inner. This is why frugality has it
over materialism now expressing itself in a hedonistic hyper-consumptive
society. Frugality is a necessity capable of resolving itself
into a virtue. |
