Short for is that its' the lack of ego. No words.
It's the second economy, where one has to give things away to get them. One has to demonstrate respect, friendship, love, and trust in order to be able to receive them. And the more one puts those out, the more one receives. Where one has rights simply because they are a "human being", a state sometimes called "grace".
As opposed to the first economy, where everything is competitive, everything costs, there is a winner and loser. Where "stuff" matters more than character, where everyone keeps score. Where everyone is a "human doing", and score is constantly being kept.
Spirituality exists only in the absense of ego-driven pursuits. The Seven Deadly Sins are ego-driven pursuits.
