3. The spirit and brain interact (1.4.2.1.1, 1.5). For brevity of discussion the spectrum resulting from this interaction shall be reduced into an oversimplified binary classification : “*(predominantly) material activity” versus “(predominantly) spiritual activity”.*

3.1: The goal of the Materialist Entrepreneur (ME) is to maximize some material measure by creating customers.

3.1.1: The ME’s goal represents a material supply intent (**2.2.2.1**). This stimulates the formation of appropriate thoughts.

    3.1.1.1: The ME translates this developing material thought (the “idea”) into visible matter.

        3.1.1.1.1: The form of the ME’s idea is influenced by material sources including (i) mental imagination and (ii) material observation (**1.5.2.3**, **2.2.2**).

    3.1.1.2: The ME’s idea can influence only matter (1.2.3).

3.1.2: The ME measures his success at implementing his idea in material terms (**2.3.1, 2.3.4**).

*For the capitalist this may be profit, for the social entrepreneur some social goal, for the Communist some State-defined “output” measure, etc.*

    3.1.2.1: The final form (product, service) in which the ME’s idea is presented is primarily based on material feedback from the relevant external stakeholders and influences.

3.2: The goal of the Spiritual Entrepreneur (SE) is to accurately express a non-material concept in matter using resources obtained by creating customers.

3.2.1: The SE’s spiritual will gives rise to both non-material and material activity.

    3.2.1.1: The mental picture (“idea”) that arises in the SE’s mind is a by-product of the will (**1.2.3**, **2.2.1**).

    3.2.1.2: The idea in the SE’s brain is a material proxy for a non-material reality sensed by his spirit (1.5.2.1).

3.2.2: The final material form (product, service) in which the SE’s idea is presented will depend on both non-material and material influences.

    3.2.2.1: The SE measures his success by the degree of alignment between the material reproduction and the non-material original (**2.2.2**).

    3.2.2.2: The SE is motivated by an inwardly-perceived quality perception; a perception of “**fidelity**” or “authenticity”. His perception of the value of his product is determined by how faithfully it correlates with a personally perceived, pre-existing non-material reality.

3.2.3: The SE’s Vision arises from the spirit and reflects the personal spiritual characteristics of the SE (**2.2.1**).

    3.2.3.1: Where the SE evolves spiritually there will be concomitant changes to his world-view, his ability to perceive non-material reality, and therefore the nature of his Vision.

3.3: The Purpose of the SE is to implement a non-material Vision in the material world with high fidelity within the prevailing system of trade (economic system). In so doing he develops as a human being (1.5.3).

3.3.1: Fidelity to the non-material Vision is the SE’s primary metric. This is a non-material, spiritually-perceived concept.

    *3.3.1.1: The true artist seeks to implement a non-material Vision in a material world (full stop).  He seeks self-expression (full stop). He seeks to be “authentic” (full stop).*

    3.3.1.2: The SE operates within the system of trade. *The SE seeks to implement a non-material Vision in a material world in a way that engages with customers. He seeks self-expression within the system of trade. He seeks to be authentic in a way that engages with customers.*

        3.3.1.2.1: The SE is spiritually an artist but materially a businessman.

3.4: The SE faces peculiar material challenges.

3.4.1: The SE must mentally clarify a non-material concept/vision in material terms.

    3.4.1.1: The material concept/vision must preserve fidelity, be intelligible to the brain, and be communicable to other human beings.

    3.4.1.2: In making the concept intelligible to the brain, the SE must struggle against the brain’s inherent inclination to focus purely on the material presentation of the idea at the expense of the true original non-material concept, thus destroying fidelity.

    3.4.1.3: It is the personal spiritual sensing (“inner voice”) of the SE that signals the degree of fidelity/authenticity attained by his mental vision. The more he attunes himself to the spiritual in daily life, the clearer the signal.

3.4.2: The SE must secure material sustainability within the economic system. He must find the way that preserves fidelity **and** engages customers.

    3.4.2.1: The SE’s product is a channel to share his non-material vision with customers, as opposed to the ME's product which is an artefact designed to secure material benefits.

    3.4.2.2: Both the SE and the ME navigate a material "solution space" (the universe of possible product design and marketing options/choices) in seeking to find the optimal connection point between their idea and customer demand.

        3.4.2.2.1: For the ME, the search through the solution space is the search for Product-Market fit, and is governed by material considerations.

        3.4.2.2.2: For the SE, this navigation process is governed by the need to balance authenticity with customer demand. It is a search for **Vision-Product-Market Fit**.

            3.4.2.2.2.1: The product must be able to engage sustainably with the material reality (market, State, etc) but above all must maintain fidelity i.e. remain true to the spiritual Vision as expressed in the mental vision.

2. Economic markets arise from the interaction of supply-side and demand-side forces.

2.1: "Demand" can arise from either of man's consciousnesses (1.4.2.1.1).

2.1.1: The primary source of Demand is the spirit’s inherent desire for experiences that influence its consciousness (1.4.1, 1.5.2.2).  This is “non-materialistic demand”.

2.1.2: A subsidiary source of Demand is the desires arising in man’s brain as a result of material influences such as instinct, feeling, and imagination (1.5.2.3.1).  This is “materialistic demand”.

2.2: The urge to "Supply" can arise from either of man's consciousnesses (1.4.2.1.1).

2.2.1: The primary instigator of Supply is the perception of a non-material influence (1.5.2.3.2) which stimulates the material creative instinct. This gives rise to non-materialistic supply.

  2.2.1.1: Non-materialistic supply is the spirit’s effort to translate a personally-perceived non-material reality into the material. It is \*self-expression\*.

  \*Art and the artist are the archetypal example, but the principle applies to every sphere of human endeavour. It is an urge to create, which brings about “supply” as a secondary effect.\*

  2.2.1.2: It is possible for a material stimulus to prompt a non-materialistic supply urge. In this case a spiritually-aware human being comes across a material opportunity whose configuration is such that it can be used as a channel for spiritual self-expression.  

2.2.2: A subsidiary source of supply is the desires arising in man’s brain as a result of material influences such as instinct, feeling, and imagination (**1.5.2.1**). This gives rise to materialistic supply.

  2.2.2.1: Materialistic supply may arise as the brain’s reaction to a material stimulus of some kind . In accordance with the material nature of the brain, this reaction would manifest as a desire to gain a material reward (e.g. sustenance, money, power, fame).

2.3: The demand types and the supply types interact to produce 4 product/service archetypes:

• Materialistic Products: Materialistic Demand interacting with Materially-Oriented Supply;

• Bridge Products: Materialistic Demand interacting with Non-Materialistic Supply;

• Non-Materialistic Products: Non-Materialistic Demand interacting with Non-Materialistic Supply;

• Proxy Markets: Non-Materialistic Demand interacting with Materially-Oriented Supply.

  2.3.1: Materialistic Products are created by the efforts of entrepreneurs who are motivated by material gain and who develop products and services to meet a materialistic demand.

  2.3.2: Bridge Products are created by the efforts of entrepreneurs with a non-materialistic world view who seek to express a non-materialistic concept through products and services of interest to a materialist mass market.

    2.3.2.1: \*A simplified example of a Bridge Market\*. On the demand side, the need for home cooling may be considered a purely material affair that can be resolved by the purchase of cooling gadgets provided by materialistic entrepreneurs. A non-materialistic entrepreneur might be inspired by a mindset that seeks harmony between man’s built environment and the surrounding natural environment (that has itself evolved as a manifestation of the non-material). He may choose to address the demand by helping homebuilders and architects make design choices that would reduce the need for manufactured cooling devices. Being that the buyer (homebuilder, architect) is of a primarily materialist intent, the entrepreneur would need to “sell” his idea by appealing to materialist considerations (e.g. “better design would reduce the cost of cooling a home by XYZ dollars annually…”) that are not his primary motivation or interest.
  
    2.3.2.2: The Materialistic Market and the Bridge Market share the same demand basis.
  
    2.3.2.2.1: The Materialistic entrepreneur applies the principle that “\*the goal of the business is to satisfy the customer, not to educate him\*”.
  
    2.3.2.2.2: The Non-Materialistic entrepreneur seeks to \*satisfy the spiritual yearnings of the customer in the process of satisfying him materially\*. He seeks to lead the customer to engage with the originating non-material concept in the course of using the product.
  
    2.3.2.3: A Bridge Market can give birth to a Materialistic Market (\*\*1.2.3\*\*). The market is initiated and proven by the deeper insight of a visionary motivated primarily by non-material considerations, and this stimulates the emergence of materially-driven copycats.
  

  2.3.3: Non-Materialistic Products are created by the efforts of individuals who seek to express a non-materialistic concept through products and services of interest to similarly non-materialistic individuals.

    2.3.3.1: \*Example of a Non-Materialistic Market.\* A fan approached a famous composer after a live performance of one of his works and told him “I’m sure the audience enjoyed it”, whereupon the composer replied “I would much prefer the audience understood it!”. Here the composer was seeking to impart something \*meaningful\*, something non-material, to individuals seeking something more than a pleasurable listening experience. The material rewards (including adulation) occasioned by listening to his music were of secondary importance.
  

  2.3.4: Proxy Products occur when entrepreneurs try to meet a primarily non-materialistic need through a materially-motivated approach.

    2.3.4.1: \*Example of a Proxy Market\*. Many individuals seek a non-materialistic approach to healthcare. This gives rise to Demand for certain “alternative” forms of therapy. On the other hand, many would-be suppliers of these therapies are motivated by material gain. This gives rise to fraud and to products and services of questionable efficacy…they are \*proxies\* for what the buyers actually want.
  

1.1: The elementary subatomic particles that comprise matter exhibit wavelike behaviour. Thus matter is “radiation”.

1.1.1: Everything that can be perceived by the human bodily senses directly or with the aid of material tools is material radiation.

1.1.2: Matter has no inherent life i.e. it has no inherent will, motive, or consciousness.

1.2. The material universe is a derivative of the non-material universe.

1.2.1: A derivative always expresses an element of the nature of the source.

1.2.1.1: Material radiations/particles reflect elements of pre-existing non-material radiations.

1.2.2: Consciousness is a property of non-materiality. It is not a property of matter.

1.2.2.1: There exist higher (more complex) and lower (simpler) states of non-material radiation. Thus there are higher and lower states of consciousness.

1.2.2.2: The urge to achieve a higher state of consciousness is inherent in the nature of non-material substance.

1.2.3: The non-material can give rise to both non-materiality and materiality. Materiality can only give rise to materiality.

1.3: Under specific conditions, it is possible for non-materiality to amalgamate with matter, thus forming a single continuum.

1.3.1: The amalgamation of the non-material with materiality gives rise to “life” in the material world.

1.4: Man is a non-material species - a “spirit”.

1.4.1: The spirit possesses consciousness and has an inherent urge to achieve greater consciousness.

1.4.2: Man on earth is a spirit temporarily amalgamated with matter in the form of a physical body.

  1.4.2.1: The amalgamation of the spirit and the body gives the material body a form of consciousness.

      1.4.2.1.1: Physical man can be said to have two consciousnesses: the permanent spiritual consciousness that is inherent in his spirituality and a temporal pseudo-consciousness (“mental” or “brain” consciousness) that arises from the spirit’s connection to the body.

1.5: Man’s thoughts, words, and actions result from the interaction of his consciousnesses, and further influence these consciousnesses.

1.5.1: Man’s spirit can make decisions.

  1.5.1.1: Decisions of the spirit (“will”, “volition”) are non-material.

  1.5.1.2: A decision of the spirit can give rise to non-materiality and materiality (1.2.3).

      1.5.1.2.1: The spiritual decision always has spiritual effects. It may or may not result in an observable material effect depending on the degree of spirit→brain→body "alignment".

      1.5.1.2.2: A spiritual will/volition can stimulate the brain’s thinking process (1.2.3).

  1.5.1.3: Man's spirit can perceive non-material influences. These can affect his spiritual decisions.

  1.5.1.4: Greater spiritual consciousness is achieved by the continuous experiencing resulting from aligning material actions with spiritual will.    

1.5.2: Man’s brain can form thoughts. Therefore thoughts, like words and actions, are material (1.2.3).

  1.5.2.1: The originating energy of a thought lies in the spiritual will (1.5.1.2.2).

  1.5.2.2: The will of the spirit manifests in the body as feeling or as thoughts, both of which may be imperceptible to the brain (“subconscious”) until the brain consciously begins to further develop the feeling/thought.

  1.5.2.3: The trigger for the brain to think (i.e. consciously develop a thought) may come from the material or the non-material.

        1.5.2.3.1: Thoughts may be stimulated by material influences perceived in and through the body.  The brain will only notice such influences if they accord with the *nature of the spirit* i.e. the main direction of its general will-ing.

        1.5.2.3.2: Thoughts may be stimulated by non-material influences perceived through the spirit.

1.5.3: Spiritual consciousness/maturity is not correlated with mental consciousness/maturity.
