@AimeTim Sufis call the human soul the 'Nafs Natiqa', the speaking soul. As for the radical devalution of the market, a planetary prophetological wedding of World Soul and Word proclaims "an eschatological state of affairs, a reversal of fortunes and transvaluation of values" - Ben Meyer

Copy of tweet thread here: I am becoming increasingly convinced that the abstract concept of "the economy" is a demonic principality. Not even joking. You're not alone. No matter their era or area of origin, planetary prophets universally identify moneytheism and its full-spectrum dominance over the moral and ontological imagination, as ‘The Big Lie that economic logic is the only model that will work.’ - Shoshana Zuboff Quote tweet: 6/ “...Jesus was executed because the Empire is scared to death of a neighborly economy.” And, the Holy Qu’ran: “And we never sent a warner to a community but its affluent members say, ‘We reject what you were sent with.’”

Then again, in complete defeat, my initiation: I'd seen the truest face of global political economy.

Copy of two tweets: “Who will police the police?” Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? #juvenal I can answer that question. No one. My first career? Journalism, with a specialist interest in oversight of the international financial system. 2/2 “Notes and References 10.

After a decade lurking at the highest levels of global political economy, the world, as I saw it, had come to a premature closing of an account with reality.Quoted by@ArlieColes I gave my life over to full-time mendicancy in the mid-90's and I haven't earned a penny since.
