Month, Day: Might, Glory (Grace)
The last post mentioned that a major focus of the world is 'pocket lining' which applies even to an egocentric attitude in science.
SAQ #15 discusses this topic of true wealth including defining this for the plant and the animal.
For humans, wealth does not involve acquisition of lofty assets or of statuesque accumulations, rather true wealth concerns: the divine appearances, the heavenly bounties, the sublime emotions, the love and knowledge of God; universal wisdom, intellectual perception, scientific discoveries, justice, equity, truthfulness, benevolence, natural courage and innate fortitude; the respect for rights and the keeping of agreements and covenants; rectitude in all circumstances; serving the truth under all conditions; the sacrifice of one’s life for the good of all people; kindness and esteem for all nations; obedience to the teachings of God; service in the Divine Kingdom; the guidance of the people, and the education of the nations and races.

Of late, there has been troubles in the financial markets that are related to the growing presence of 'gaming' and virtual methods that, by nature, are too unstable to found an economic system. That the abstract techniques go awry (Minsky's view on this apropos) is due to mathematics not being grounded properly. This brings up the very interesting question, which is anathema to the modern view, about how a Creation-based approach may actually extend mathematics in remarkable ways. From where would come the motivation? Ah, that is answerable, though we deal mostly with Questions.
