ABUNDANCE IS FREE(dom)

[ODDA]...Most Americans who are aware of Social Credit consider it to be some kind of monetary or economic reform package.  In fact, it is a body of religious thought and philosophy which first arose in the sixth century before Christ but, like the ‘great cloud of witnesses’ of the Epistle to the Hebrews, could not ‘be made perfect’ until after the Resurrection.  Its first modern publicist was John Wesley in 1765, followed by Clifford Hugh Douglas who coined the phrase ‘Social Credit’ and concentrated (over the objections of other Social Credit philosophers) on its economic and monetary applications.  Douglas did define Social Credit as ‘the policy of Christianity’.  The theme of his first essay, in 1919, “The Delusion of Super-Production”, is the same theme as the paragraph from which you have extracted my poorly-worded phrase for comment, i.e., the theme that we receive back, multiplied, everything which we give out.

[ODEA]...This is all distorted from a Christian world-view because, as presently constituted, our economic system does not reflect Christian values.  All economic activity which is under the hegemony of the American Heresy is based on the denial of individual freedom and the propagation of the fear of scarcity.  In a Christian society, all food, clothing and shelter has been pre-paid by the blood of Christ, and is to be freely received as a grace generated by the aforesaid increment.  The recipient of grace has only one obligation:  to issue a Note of Thanksgiving to the source of the grace.  That Thanksgiving becomes legal tender, currency; this is how money is created in a Christian society – every individual has the right and obligation to create their own currency.  This completely eliminates the fear of scarcity which is so fundamental to our society as presently constituted.

[ODFA]...Collective bargaining arose in our society because individuals felt powerless, and because they feared scarcity.  More specifically, they feared joblessness, a social phenomenon rarely in evidence prior to the Industrial Revolution.  But the purpose of the industrial revolution, from a Social Credit point of view, was unemployment.  That is, less than 5% of the population needs to work as wage-labourers in production – the majority of the work is to be done by the machine.  Humanity thereby becomes free – everyone is able to use their own time in whatever way they wish, hopefully to a great degree in the development of spirit towards ascension.  They do not need to ‘make’ a living as a slave to someone else; instead they can ‘accept’ the living which Christ came to give them abundantly.
