»The world has enough for everyone’s need but
not for enough everyone’s greed.«
– Mahatma Gandhi
Indian lawyer, publisher and pacifist
If an archetype is suppressed to such an
extent, two polar shadows emerge according to the archetype theory. The Great
Mother’s shadows are fear and greed. The fear of not being
provided for is reflected in the immoderate greed manifest in ever-increasing money
grubbing. A greedy person is never satisfied and thinks they must have more and
more to escape the feeling of not being provided for. Fear and greed are thus
the two complementary sides of the same coin. As we now know how fear and greed
came about, we also know the remedy. When we give people the secure feeling of
always being provided for, these two shadows vanish by themselves. The Natural
Economy of Life is a way of ensuring that all people worldwide are provided for
and of generating sustainable worldwide prosperity and peace in harmony with
nature. Overpopulation can be avoided in a gentle way, as we have seen in
advantage 39. But even if the world population should continue to increase for
a while, there is enough for everyone, as we discussed in advantages 48 and 53.
The Natural Economy of Life does not build on
the incorrect theory of scarcity, which constitutes the foundation of today’s
economic theory and virtually provokes fear and greed. It has integrated the
Great Mother’s archetypes into itself and provides life-affirming incentives to
distribute this earth’s goods in such a way that everybody’s needs are met.
