Inheritance in this context understood simply as the transfer of custodianship, not of a possession passed on to a/some mythical previously "chosen", but to whoever may best suited to perform that role and chosen for that purpose.(ideally that would be "all", and perhaps may one day be so).

Hello petex. Good talking with you and thanks this topic has been helpful for me as well. And as you and Miss Hepburn stated prior, forgiveness is key to the Christian path and I also believe this too.
For a long time I had been bothered by the "meek shall inherit the earth" thing. I feel better about it now after having a chance to work it out. As far as the material perspective goes I do not feel qualified to speculate on who will inherit what or why.

Again, ideally, such consideration leading to a common shift in mind set, so all involved.

The expression I have heard for what you described is, a problem cannot be solved at the level it is created. So when the mental becomes part of the problem that is why a spiritual perspective is needed to open things up.
Another way to describe why forgiveness is important for creativity is because it gives us a chance to explore experiences without fear. And then if things turn out not as intended, we can begin again. This leads to freedom and a much gentler path through eternity.
