The Connection Between Spirituality and Economy
Hello, glad to have you here. Today, we will once again discuss the connection between spirituality and the economy. As I mentioned during a recent walk-and-talk, for me, spirituality is nothing more than ordinary life. As I’ve said before, examining the universe basically happens right here because we are in the universe, and in my opinion, we can often study how the universe is without microscopes because the universe must be understood spiritually. It is understood spiritually and is governed by spiritual laws, which ultimately form the foundation.
Spiritual laws are, in the end, what we encounter in the universe. The same is true in the economy: You will find these spiritual laws everywhere. I had originally planned to go in a specific order, but I will now approach this differently. At the beginning, I will put the hermetic laws, and here we find an important principle: the principle of vibration. Nothing rests; everything moves, everything vibrates.
This reminds us of the words of Nikola Tesla, the great Serbian inventor, who said: “Think in terms of waves and energy, and you will understand the universe.” And here, in these ancient principles passed down through the ages, we find the same truth. This is very ancient knowledge, and we are encountering it again.
The principle of vibration strongly correlates with the principle of rhythm, for it is essentially about rhythm.
Economic Cycles and the Law of Vibration
Even in what I plan to show next, I will demonstrate that in the realm of the economy, there are vibrations, rhythms, which are becoming increasingly known. I am not sure how long this has been an established science, but Ray Dalio, a very well-known investment banker and investor, wrote a book about the history of empires.
There have been many empires throughout history that should be studied. He examined five: including the Roman Empire, the Portuguese Empire, the Dutch Empire, and the British Empire, and after them came the American Empire.
He concludes that these cycles occur in a law-like manner and that the rise of empires eventually leads to their fall. Likewise, the emergence of specific currencies and their eventual decline follows these unchangeable laws.
What we often fail to see is that while we as humans experience these developments, we are also subject to a higher system. While we concern ourselves with news or political decisions, a larger dynamic, beyond our control, is at play. Neil Howe discusses these societal cycles and their relationship with economic developments in his book, “The Fourth Turning.”
Long-Term Trends and Economic Predictability
The spiritual law of vibration shows us that long-term developments in the economy are often more visible than short-term changes, which are heavily influenced by the psychology of the moment. Warren Buffett, one of the most famous investors, once said that he doesn’t know what the stock market will look like next week, but he does know what it will look like in 10 years.
This suggests that long-term trends are predictable due to laws, as described in the hermetic laws. Crises, currency collapses, inflation, and economic rhythms are not just temporary phenomena but are subject to these eternal cycles. Economic history confirms this with many examples.
While short-term news and events may seem like arbitrary decisions, the fundamental cycles are unbreakable.
An important insight is that during times of crisis, gold often gains importance as a store of value. In the past, such as during hyperinflation in Germany after World War I, large amounts of money were printed, which ultimately led to a currency crisis. Even today, in times of increasing inflation, the relationship between gold and real estate is again of critical importance.
