the
way it must be.” So they write
books on Economics from brick
wall inspirations. Practical experience means nothing to them. But
the innocents buy their books and
pretend to understand them. The
writers get their royalty, the publishers get their profit and the
financier is tickled pink, so everybody is satisfied.
Now, the financier is a great liar, but he may possibly tell the truth once in a while, especially if he can skin someone by doing it. But his tout never tells the truth at all under any circumstances. When the financier issues one lie his tout adds ninety-nine others to it and gives them to the public. The people pass these lies along gratuitously one to another. They become lie-carriers, just like disease-carriers, and spread them everywhere. They carry the lies of the financier and his touts around with them. Everybody they meet they fill them up with lies and that is why the people everywhere are lousy with them. So when you hear the truth today it will be different from anything the financier and his touts and lie-carriers have filled you up with before and your tympanic organs may burst in astonishment. You must understand the foundation of economics to know the truth. To understand Economics you must understand physics—God’s natural physics—because physics and economics are like a couple that can’t be separated. You must know one to know the other. When I was a youngster and before a university theory had ever entered my head—before I had even attended the primary schools—I used to wonder what made the dust move around. I could see it in the sunlight, but not in the shade. So I wanted to know what made it move. Later I wanted to know what caused everything to move. It was very fortunate that, that young brain of mine wasn’t handed over to some university professor to ruin forever. Because I attacked the problem with a free mind and in a practical way. I began looking for a base at the roots of the subject not up in the branches. It took a long time to gain practical experience—not theories—so that I could understand what made everything move. But with the help of a greater power than man, I finally discovered the great principle that causes the eternal movement of matter. I also learned how the Creator changes one thing to another and uses matter over and over forever without the loss of a particle. I learned that Economics is a basic material law and that its definition is the Utilization of Everything without the Loss of Anything. So when I got to the base of Natural Laws I learned how God moves all matter, how He utilizes all matter; and how He balances all matter. If I had gone to college and accepted their foolish theories I would be guessing at everything and trying to explain to you today that which ain’t instead of that which is. You must learn physics at its base to understand economics. And when you under- |
