GETTING CLOSE TO GOING TO PRESS WITH THIS INVESTIGATION

0

 

My investigative scheme is to bring everything into connective confluence, and so, for example, it does not make sense to come up with fragmented understandings when the original meaning involves many INTERCONNECTIONS and INTERDEPENDENCIES.  Systems scientists (like Martine Dodds-Taljaard and the pioneers of systems science such as Kenneth Boulding) capture this in the expression ‘The name of the devil is suboptimization’.  This WARNING is just common sense because the world of our SENSE-EXPERIENCE is such a world (a wave-field) wherein everything is INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT, where there are rivers that run through multiple countries and what one country does to that river; e.g. fish it out, or pollute it etc. in optimizing their needs as if they REALLY WERE “INDEPENDENT” as their “DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE” purpurted them to be.  SUBOPTIMIZATION of the “DECLARED” INDEPENDENT NATIONS impacts what happens in all the other countries the river passes through.  That action by that one country which pays no attention to how it impacts other countries is called SUBOPTIMIZATION, but it is more like GLOBAL SCREW-UP.

 

[Author’s comment: This essay opens the door to comparisons between understandings that differ based on WHICH TYPE of LOGIC is being used in their capture and presentation; i.e. the LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM and/or the SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM.  For example, we may describe the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE in which there is TOWNING as a dynamic, included feature wherein the TOWNING is INCLUDED within the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE as requires the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, and ALTERNATIVELY, we may SEPARATELY FOCUS on ‘THE TOWN’ and describe ‘the TOWN’ as a LOCAL, EXPLICIT THING-IN-ITSELF that is undergoing “ITS OWN GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT” as if within an EMPTY REFERENCE FRAME.  A note on the differing, CULTURE-BASED logic preference can be found in Appendix II]

 

Ok, that is just one example of PROBLEMS arising from “TAKING SERIOUSLY” our DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE and corresponding MAKE-BELIEVE (behaving as if we were independent and thus pursuing SUBOPTIMIZATION while in reality we are woven into a matrix of INTERCONNECTIONS AND INTERDEPENDENCIES), This is why our WESTERN CULTURE SOCIETY is commonly FRAGMENTED because even within a country where WE SAY things are divided up into provinces or states, there are problems with, for example, the more  populous provinces or states consuming or messing up more of the atmospheric or river system based resources and in the process screwing up access to resources essential to the innately INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT brother and sister provinces and states. By using language that (falsely) treats the provinces or states as INDEPENDENT, we contradict the physical reality of our own presuppositions;

 

As regards the academies, they are established in order to regulate the studies of the pupils and are concerned not to have the program of teaching change very often: in such places, because it is a question of the progress of the students, it frequently happens that the things which have to be chosen are not those which are most true but those which are most easy. And by that division in things which makes different people form different judgements, it so happens that certain people are in error contrary to their own opinion.” – Johannes Kepler, ‘Harmonies of the World’

In plain and simple terms, if we are sometimes speaking of the TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE and implying the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM where the TOWNING is a dynamic FEATURE WITHIN the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE, … and AT OTHER TIMES, speak of the TOWN AS IF IT WERE A THING that is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods, while it makes our linguistic conceptualizing SIMPLER, puts that SIMPLER CONCEPTUALIZATION … “AT ODDS WITH”… our sense-experience affirmed awareness wherein THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE.

 

We can see that this is a general issue because of our WESTERN CULTURE habit of TALKING ABOUT THINGS and WORKING ON THINGS as if they are SEPARATE THINGS even though we live in a world that is INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT (an ‘energy-charged PLENUM filled with CONDENSATIONS.)

 

Inquiry into WHAT IS GOING ON HERE causes us to reflect on the type of LOGIC we are using, and while indigenous aboriginals and modern physics use NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM, Western Culture folks commonly use BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM (where we assume that space is empty).  So, consider how BINARY LOGIC ‘works’ (has us thinking) in the case of INDEPENDENT NATIONS.  We actually COMPETE on an INTER-NATIONAL basis in such things as concern material GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION.   Once we start TALKING in BINARY LOGIC terms of GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION there is a DISCONNECT in that what is REALLY GOING ON is TRANSFORMATION of the OVERALL LANDSCAPE.

 

For example, supposing that all the nations in the world are COMPETING in their production of wood products.  Canadian forest product industries are in competition with American and Brazilian and Russian etc. forest product producers and all of these competitors are investing in their own industrial GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION, … but while nobody is talking OUT LOUD about it, what is also occurring is SHRIINKING of the FORESTS, AGING and COLLAPSING of the former DEVELOPMENT, and outright CONSUMPTION of what is being PRODUCED, … and all of these FEMAEL ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate dynamics add together with all of the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION so that “WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IS TRANSFORMING OF THE OVERALL LANDSCAPE”.

 

Indigenous aboriginals use language that is “FLOW-BASED”  rather than “BEING-BASED”  so that there is acknowledgement that The GROWING OF THE TOWN IS PART OF A TRANSFORMATIVE DYNAMIC that includes the SHRINKING of WILDERNESS , so that one can never rightly speak GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION a if these were REAL THINGS because THEY ARE NOT REAL THINGS.  What is REAL is the TRANSFORMING of the LANDSCAPE which includes BOTH the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION TOGETHER WITH (IN ONE CONJUGATE PACKAGE WITH) SHRINKING of WILDERNESS, AGING and COLLAPSE of prior DEVELOPMENT and CONSUMPTION of PRODUCTION.  The REALITY of what’s going on here is TRANSFORMATION of the LANDSCAPE, an understanding that is built into indigenous aboriginal FLOW-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING while our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING is in terms of MATERIAL-BEING based GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION.

 

OK, there are STILL more mistakes as to how we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS express things with our simplistic one-sided MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ONLY way of speaking about CHANGE that we are being forced to deal with, than these I have mentioned, and NOTICE that the core problem is that our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING APPROACH is to USE THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING aspect ONLY

This MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION is NOT REAL because it is constrained to the LOCAL and EXPLICIT and leaves out mention of the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT.

 

In other words, we capture all of the male asserting/actualizing stuff which is LOCAL and EXPLICIT such as the TOWN is GROWING, but we DROP OUT MENTION of the female accommodating/enabling stuff which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT which is the more basic part of TRANSFORMATION.  So here we see the problem, in our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, of FRAGMENTATION pointed out by Bohm, and we can see how we add to that problem when we consider Goedel’s Theorem of the INCOMPLETENESS OF ALL FINITE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS (i.e. this includes these one-sided incomplete MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING PROPOSITIONS such as ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’).  Goedel’s Theorem is reminding us that this PROPOSTION, “THE TOWN IS GROWING” is INCOMPLETE.  NOTA BENE! … WATCH OUT BECAUSE WE ARE CONFUSING OURSELVES BY FRAGMENTING OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING OF REALITY with all of these INCOMPLETE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS such as “THE TOWN IS GROWING” without mentioning the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate “THE WILDERNESS IS SHRINKING”.

WHY WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE STAYING ON THE “LEMMING LEAP” PATH

AUTHOR’S PREFACE:  The Title refers to the fact that as we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS continue to DROP OUT the female accommodating/enabling conjugate from our linguistic conceptualizing; i.e. as we continue to use BEING based linguistic conceptualizations such as ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ (the male asserting/actualizing part) while SAYING NOTHING about the conjugate SHRINKING of WILDERNESS (the female accommodating/enabling part) and thus SAYING NOTHING about the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE, WE ARE, IN EFFECT using language to construct a SIMPLIFIED VOYEUR VIEWED PSEUDO-REALITY (the TOWN is GROWING) which is AT ODDS with our INCLUDED SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED REALITY (there is TOWNING in this all-includingTRANSFORMING WORLD; i.e. the TOWNING is a FEATURE WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM and we HUMANINGS are also FEATURES within the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.

 

–––  NONBINARY (BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUMINCLUSION OF MAN-IN-EARTH (CONDENSATION OF WAVE-FIELD IN WAVE-FIELD): 

This we know, the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.”— “Chief Seattle”

This is supported by Jantsch LEVEL 1 (TRANSFORMATION) MODE of AWARENESS where we see ourselves as included in an ALL-INCLUDING  TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.  However, we continue to struggle with lesser, BINARY LOGIC based forms of AWARENESS

 

 

––– BINARY (EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUMSPLIT OF MAN AND EARTH (“MATERIAL BEING” IN EMPTY SPACE): 

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

This is supported by the LEVEL 3 CONSERVATIVE and LEVEL 2 LIBERAL modes of AWARENESS wherein we conceive of ourselves (or believe ourselves to BE) INDEPENDENT BEINGS with our own DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR-given powers of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and developments as if we were NON-INCLUDED INDEPENDENT BEINGS acting and interacting in an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.

 

In the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM based linguistic conceptualizing, there is TOWNING and HUMANING in the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.  EVERYTHING is included in the TRANSFORMING PLENUM, including OURSELVES.   

In the BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM based linguistic conceptualizing wherein the TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods, we visualize this as if the GROWING TOWN is situated within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.  We do not ‘see’ in this visualization, the SHRINKING of WILDERNESS.  The TOWN seems to have a LIFE OF ITS OWN, a MALE ASSSERTING/ACTUALIZING thing-in-itself where “THE TOWN” is no longer a TOWNING that is an inextricably included RELATIONAL FEATURE WITHIN THE ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING PLENUM.

In the BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM based linguistic conceptualizing, WE CONCIEVE OF OURSELVES AS SEPARATE and INDEPENDENT MATERIAL BEINGS with “OUR OWN” GRAMMAR GIVEN POWERS OF AUTHORING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS; i.e. as INDEPENDENT HUMANOIDS.  The INDEPENDENT BEING conceptualizing SIDESTEPS our SENSE-EXPERIENCE GROUNDED REALITY wherein the TOWNING or HUMANING is a relational FEATURE WITHIN the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM, as captured in indigenous aboriginal culture with the STRAND in the WEB conceptualization and in Modern physics with the CONDENSATION of the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.

 

* * * 

IF WE CHOOSE BEING-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING THEN WE CANNOT BE INCLUDED IN OUR OWN LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZINGS since MATERIAL BEING based THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES CAN ONLY EXIST (maintain their independence) WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.

IF WE CHOOSE FLOW-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING THEN WE OURSELVES, as FLOW-FEATURES, ARE INCLUDED IN THE MANNER of A STRAND IN THE WEB OR a WHORLING in a FLOWING, IN OUR OWN LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING where we are DISTINGUISHABLE NOT BY OUR INDEPENDENCE (WE ARE “NOT” INDEPENDENT OTHER THAN BY OUR APPEARANCE).  That is, the WHORLING has an APPEARANCE that is “DISTINGUISHABLE” from the FLOWING it is included in, but IT IS NOT INDEPENDENT of the FLOWING.  In fact the WHORLINGS IN FLOWING ARE ALL INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT since they are FLOW-FEATURES and there is ONLY ONE FLOW, hence the “seeming” “INDEPENDENCE” of a FORM IN THE FLOW (e.g. a WHORLING IN THE FLOWING) is only “APPEARANCE”.

 

CONFUSION CAN ARISE in the case where a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING scheme is used that gives a FOUNDATIONAL ROLE to BEING where the WHORLING-IN-THE-FLOWING is LINGUISTICALLY CONCEPTUALIZED as a NOTIONAL “WHORL” THING-IN-ITSELF with (“ITS OWN”) GRAMMAR GIVEN POWERS of LOCAL AUTHORING of LOCAL AUTHORING of ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENT.  Another way to say this; THERE IS NO PLACE FOR “BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC” in linguistic conceptualizing of sense-experience since EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED WITHIN THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) FLOWING CONTINUUM and the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) FLOWING is ONE THING while the WHORLINGS aka CONDENSATIONS, are only LOCAL and EXPLICIT IN APPEARANCE which a COMPELLING REASON for NOT DESIGNING A LANGUAGE that builds in a FOUNDATIONAL ROLE for BEING.  As Schroedinger reminds us, BEING is only APPEARANCE (Schaumkommen).

Our indigenous aboriginal brothers and sisters are saying, in their flow-based language, the equivalent of … “In the transforming landscape wherein there is increasingly more TOWNING that is encroaching on, and shrinking the WILDERNESS so that this new MIX has a growing imbalance in favour of the European-man’s interests which leads to more of the European-man’s constructions at the expense of the loss of Wilderness and loss of four-leggeds and winged and crawling ones”. 

 

 

 

This is a TRANSFORMATION that is NOT acknowledged in languages that speak in terms of GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION of goods which are UNREAL LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES common to WESTERN CULTURE communications that fail to acknowledge, and which simply DROP IT OUT all mention of the conjugate (to growth, development and production) SHRINKING of Wilderness, the AGING of developments and the CONSUMPTION of that which is PRODUCED, … all of these FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATES contributing … TOGETHER WITH (i.e. IN CONJUGATE RELATION WITH) THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING “GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCTION”, … TO an OVERALL TRANSFORMING, thus exposing the INCOMPLETENESS of the LANGUAGE we are using, the INCOMPLETENESS that DISTORTS all of our positive assertions as to what is going on, as Goedel’s Theorem of the INCOMPLETENESS of all finite logical propositions points out must be the case.

The reference to LEMMINGS in the title of this essay  is to point out how we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are moving forward EN MASSE, in pursuit of CONSTRUCTING SOME EXPANSIVE AND WONDERFUL (anthropocentric) LIVING QUARTERS, but there is just ONE WORLD and we are CANNIBALIZING THE WORLD THAT WE ARE AT THE SAME TIME CONSTRUCTING beause we are INCLUDED in that world that we are at the same time EXPLOITING, not realizing that; THE WORLD WE LIVE IN IS NOT SOMETHING SEPARATE FROM OURSELVES.

The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived.  Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.”  This is equvalent to what Chief Seattle is saying; i.e. “Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it.”

This PREFACE is a REMINDER that WE ARE INCLUDED IN THE WORLD of our SENSE EXPERIENCE (we are included in the BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM sense, as with STRANDS in a WEB); THE WORLD is NOT SOMETHING SEPARATE THAT IS OURS to EXPLOIT/CONSUME.

We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have heard PLENTY OF WARNINGS about being on the PATH TO DEEPENING DYSFUNCTION (e.g. Jules Henry’s ‘CULTURE AGAINST MAN’ strongly supported by renowned Psychiatrist Ronald Laing), but MOST OF US do NOT have the CONFIDENCE to depart from the basic traditions of our FAMILY and our CULTURE, … UNLESS, … WE COULD ALL MAKE THE MOVE TOGETHER, which is NOT going to happen.  For example;

  

“T.S. Eliot studied Eastern religions in detail at Harvard, learning some Sanskrit and some Pali, and soon concluded that “their subtleties make most of the great European philosophers look like schoolboys.” For a young man disillusioned with his banal surroundings and desperate to break away from his family, there was something wonderfully aloof, impersonal and invulnerable about the Buddhist notion of the spirit, free of all attachments and desires. And by the time he was composing The Wasteland, which ends, of course, with the chant “Shantih shantih shantih,” he was genuinely considering a conversion to Buddhism. But the truth was, he wrote, “my only hope of really penetrating to the heart of that mystery would lie in forgetting how to think and feel as an American or European: which for practical as well as sentimental reasons, I did not wish to do.”

Schrodinger seems to have had the same problem. …” — Ned Beauman, ‘Great Mahavits’ January 4, 2010

 

WE ARE MOSTLY ALL PROUD PEOPLE THUMBING OUR NOSE AT APOCRYPHAL PREDICTIONS ABOUT THE PATH OUR WHOLE SOCIO-CULTURAL GROUP IS SAID TO BE PUSHING FORWARD ON.

 

HOW DID WE “BECOME LEMMINGS COMMITTED TO THIS PILGRIMAGE TO HELL?”  Ronald Laing together with Jules Henry have given us the answer;

 

It is Henry’s contention that in practice education has never been an instrument to free the mind and the spirit of man, but to bind them. We think we want creative children, but what do we want them to create? — ‘If all through school the young were provoked to question the Ten Commandments, the sanctity of revealed religion, the foundations of patriotism, the profit motive, the two party system, monogamy, the laws of incest, and so on … — there would be such creativity that society would not know where to turn. …  Children do not give up their innate imagination, curiousity, dreaminess easily. You have to love them to get them to do that. Love is the path through permissiveness to discipline; and through discipline, only too often, to betrayal of self.” R. D. Laing

The “REAL MEANING” that is accessed in Modern Physics and in Indigenous Aborigininal Culture

0

 

 

In speaking of the The “REAL MEANING” that is accessed in Modern Physics and in Indigenous Aboriginal Culture, I am going in REAL DEEP, to the understanding level of indigenous aboriginals the Modern physics mode of understanding.  In this mode of understanding, we do NOT simply except, as ‘reality’, the one-sided concept of male asserting/actualizing such as “the town is growing” but instead acknowledge TRANSFORMING OF THE OVERALL LANDSCAPE which includes, at the same time, the SHRINKING of wilderness. This is consistent with indigenous aboriginal language (which flow-based) and Modern physics (Bohm’s ‘rheomode’ language).

What we have to look at in this case is REALITY as affirmed by our sense-experience which is the reality of inclusion in CONTINUING RELATIONAL TRANSFORMATION.  Our PROPOSITION that ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’, while TRUE is INCOMPLETE (Goedel’s Theorem says that all finite LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS are INCOMPLETE), and the REALITY lies beyond the INCOMPLETE TRUTH; i.e. that the LANDSCAPE is TRANSFORMING, and this is supported by a NONBINARY form of LOGIC; i.e. the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which we ACKNOWLEDGE that when the TOWN is GROWING, the LANDSCAPE is TRANSFORMING since what is also occurring is the SHRINKING of the WILDERNESS.  This understanding of TRANSFORMATION is supported by our SENSE-EXPERIENCE while it is ABSTRACTION for us to speak ONLY of the GROWTH of the TOWN, which, like Elon Musk’s “LAUNCHING OF A ROCKET” or CONSTRUCTION of a MANUFACTURING PLANT which mentions only the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING actions and FAILS TO MENTION of WHAT IS REALLY OCCURRING which is TRANSFORMATION that includes NOT ONLY WHAT IS GAINED BUT WHAT IS LOST in the conjugate process of FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING (e.g. the loss of diversity and natural complexity that is part of the VIRGIN LANDSCAPE).

As Schroedinger points out, the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING component, which is the LOCAL and EXPLICIT PART of what is happening which is certainly NOT the FULL STORY (it fails to acknowledge the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT conjugate LOSS).  That is, the LOCAL and EXPLICIT development such as the GROWTH of the TOWN is ONLY superficial “APPEARANCE” aka “SHAUMKOMMEN”, which DROPS OUT MENTION of the SHRINKING of WILDERNESS, which, together with the GROWTH of the TOWN, constitutes TRANSFORMATION of the landscape.

 

The REAL MEANING of an event IS IN THE TRANSFORMATION IT BRINGS ABOUT, which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (wherein the overall reality is transformed) rather than THE EVENT in its LOCAL and EXPLICIT ASPECT which WESTERNC CULTURE BINARY LOGIC based THINKING will ASSESS as EITHER GOOD OR BAD WHICH FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE REAL IMPACT which is the TRANSFORMATIONAL ASPECT: For example, YES, the TOWN DID GROW LARGER, and this is undeniably GOOD NEWS for INVESTORS, THE ECONOMY and for HUMANS IN NEED OF ACCOMMODATIONS AND SUPPORT SERVICES, but it is NOT ALL THAT HAPPENED because the REAL ACTION, meaning overall action is TRANSFORMATION that includes the LOSS OF WILDERNESS with its valuable and important (to overall systemic conditions) DIVERSITY.

The CONSEQUENCES of the REALITY that SPACE IS NOT EMPTY

0

 

Author’s Preface: 

 

WESTERN CULTURE has evolved a STANDARD LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING HABIT which DROPS OUT acknowledgement that we are included in an ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM and therefore WE ARE “NOT”, as we commonly make out to be the case in our everyday speech, INCLUDED IN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.

 

PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES are engendered as a CONSEQUENCE of the REALITY that SPACE IS NOT EMPTY while our LANGUAGE PRETENDS that it IS EMPTY.

 

BY using LANGUAGE that REDUCES THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM to EMPTY SPACE, we SIMPLIFY our CONCEPTUALIZATIONS of REALITY in that we need concern ourselves, as far as our language is concerned, ONLY with actions that are MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING such as ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’ (as if within an EMPTY SPACE) in which case we make no accounting for the CONJUGATE ‘SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS’ and thus we OBSCURE the overall reality of the TRANSFORMING of the LANDSCAPE, and push ahead with LANGUAGE that has us IMAGINING what we call “GROWTH” of the TOWN when THERE IS NO SUCH THING as “GROWTH” in the REAL WORLD of our SENSE EXPERIENCE which is informing us of the TRANSFORMING of the LANDSCAPE, … AS IS CAPTURED IN INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES, and as Bohm and Alan Watts and others point out “WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS SHOULD BE CAPTURING TRANSFORMATION RATHER THAN GROWTH IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME”.

 

We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, because of the SIMPLIFICATIONS we have built into our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME such as the SUBSTITUTING of EMPTY SPACE for the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, has allowed us to conceive of ourselves AS IF WE ARE LIVING IN A REALITY THAT FEATURES “GROWTH”, “DEVELOPMENT” and “PRODUCTION” of goods, while all the while, and as the LANGUAGES of indigenous aboriginals and MODERN PHYSICS are reporting, WE ARE INCLUDED WITHIN A TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.  So, there is a PROBLEM here and it is not just that “GROWTH”, “DEVELOPMENT” and “PRODUCTION” are “TOO SIMPLE” and fail to capture the reality we affirm with our sense-experience, the PROBLEM is that we are CONSTRUCTING WITH LANGUAGE, A SUBSTITUTE REALITY based on MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ONLY while our SENSE-EXPERIENCE “IS INFORMING US DIRECTLY OF OUR INCLUSION IN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM” wherein “EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX” as Heraclitus said, and as is the understanding of Modern physics, Indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta.

 

WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, in order to remove ourselves from the deepening PROBLEMS of FRAGMENTATION of OBSCURANTISM pointed out by Bohm, need to be using a FLOW-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME and BREAK OUR HABIT of speaking in the FALSE TERMS of GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION whereby we MAKE THE MISTAKE of constructing SIMPLIFIED PSEUDO-REALITIES which we are SUBSTITUTING for our SENSE-EXPERIENCE GROUNDED REALITY”, a MISTAKE that is the SOURCE of FRAGMENTATION.

 

1 FRAGMENTATION AND WHOLENESS  (from Wholeness and the Implicate Order, David Bohm, 1980)

The title of this chapter is ‘Fragmentation and wholeness’. It is especially important to consider this question today, for fragmentation is now very widespread, not only throughout society, but also in each individual and this is leading to a kind of general confusion of the mind, which creates an endless series of problems and interferes with our clarity of perception so seriously as to prevent us from being able to solve most of them.

Thus art, science, technology, and human work in general, are divided up into specialities, each considered to be separate in essence from the others. Becoming dissatisfied with this state of affairs, men have set up further interdisciplinary subjects, which were intended to unite these specialities, but these new subjects have ultimately served mainly to add further separate fragments. Then, society as a whole has developed in such a way that it is broken up into separate nations and different religious, political, economic, racial groups, etc. Man’s natural environment has correspondingly been seen as an aggregate of separately existent parts, to be exploited by different groups of people. Similarly, each individual human being has been fragmented into a large number of separate and conflicting compartments, according to his different desires, aims, ambitions, loyalties, psychological characteristics, etc., to such an extent that it is generally accepted that some degree of neurosis is inevitable, while many individuals going beyond the ‘normal’ limits of fragmentation are classified as paranoid, schizoid, psychotic, etc.

 

Bohm ALERTED US TO THIS PROBLEM TO US” in 1980, highlighting the FRAGMENTATION that we are creating by way of our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING scheme which is giving a foundational role to the MISTAKE of our SUBSTITUTING ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE for the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM ( “Space is not empty.  It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.” (Bohm). 

 

So, in our sense-experience affirmed reality, and as captured in the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING schemes of Modern physics, indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta, THE STUFF what we Western Culture Adherents are continuing to MISTAKENLY refer to as an “empty space dotted with material fragments”, …  is the all-including WAVE-FIELD aka ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.

 

We are now in the year 2025, 45 years after Bohm’s warning and we are experiencing continuing FRAGMENTATION as in the POLARIZING CONFLICT in WESTERN CULTURE “POLITICS” between CONSERVATIVES (Republicans) and LIBERALS (Democrats).  Both factions are falling into the TRAP of using, for their understanding, the too simple BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM, the LOGIC of CLASSICAL PHYSICS instead of the needed NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, the LOGIC of MODERN PHYSICS which is also the LOGIC of indigenous aboriginals which supports a REALITY WHEREIN SPACE IS NOT EMPTY, WHERE LOGIC IS NONBINARY.  When we use NONBINARY LOGIC, our awareness opens up to the INTERCONNECTEDNESS and INTERNDEPENDENCE of all material forms as with indigenous aboriiginal STRANDS IN THE WEB.  Here, the origin of actions and developments is understood to be NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT, calling for RESTORATIVE JUSTICE, rather than PUNITIVE/PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE.  PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE is based on “APPEARANCE” of actions and developments that are MISTAKENLY assumed to be LOCAL and EXPLICIT.

Because the FOCUS is on the particular STRAND in the web that is manifesting VIOLENT ACTION, that STRAND is easily (BUT MISTAKENLY) conceived of as a LOCAL and EXPLICIT SOURCE OF VIOLENCE.  The REALITY is that the VIOLENT ENERGY is of NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT origin, deriving from TENSIONS that HAVE BEEN BUILDING IN THE SOCIAL RELATIONAL WEB; i.e. in the relational matrix of the INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT social collective.

 

This completes the AUTHOR’S PREFACE to introduce what this essay, The CONSEQUENCES of the REALITY that SPACE IS NOT EMPTY, is ALL ABOUT.

Language vis a vis the SPIRITUAL and MATERIAL (Explaining the Miner’s Canary)

0

AUTHOR’S PREFACE:  This essay LOCATES, IDENTIFIES and EXPLAINS some VERY BASIC LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION ERRORS that have become part of the  COMMON WESTERN CULTURE REALITY CONCEPTUALIZING PACKAGE.

The Miner’s Canary experience is highlighted because of the BREAKTHROUGH INSIGHT it brings, which could be described as the RETURN of the DEA ABSCONDITA (the Goddess in Hiding), which is referring to the fact that our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION SCHEME has DEMOTED AND DROPPED OUT FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING while PROMOTING the use of MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING “ON ITS OWN”, which is unrealistic since MALE ASSERTING and FEMALE ACCOMMODATING EXIST “ONLY IN CONJUGATE RELATION AND DO NOT EXIST SEPARATELY”.

Not only does it NOT MAKE SENSE to SPLIT APART the ANDROGYNOUS WAVE-STRUCTURE and talk about “WHAT THE PEAK DOES” and “WHAT THE TROUGH DOES” as if that made sense (it does NOT), but to DROP OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate (e.g. to say ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ without mentioning the conjugate SHRINKING of WILDERNESS) is CRAZY because THERE CAN BE NO ‘PEAK’ WITHOUT the ‘TROUGH’ because that is the nature of our WAVE-FIELD world, but as Vygotsky points out, THIS IS WHAT PIAGET and the WESTERN CULTURE TEACHING PRACTICE IS DOINGl  As Heinrich von Kleist says, this is our FALL FROM GRACE since INSPIRATION (the nonlocal and implicit) FILLS THE HEART while EGO (the local and explicit) SWELLS THE HEAD.

The Miner’s Canary narrative reminds us that“Space is not empty.  It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.” (Bohm).  The message of the Miner’s Canary is that TOXIC ENVIRONMENTS induce VIOLENT BEHAVIOURS so that we must be careful to NOT BLAME the Luigi Mangionis and Tyler Robinsons for their violent acts since we all share inclusion in the same community, where the STRAND IN THE WEB interconnection and interdependence means that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are NOT JUSTIFIED in our SCAPEGOATING of the INDENTIFIED PATIENTS, while IGNORING the rising TOXICITY in our common everyday environment.

The public support, quietly expressed for Mangioni and Robinson, is considerable and points to an intuitive awareness of the STRAND-in-the-WEB reality where the VIOLENCE that VENTS through the INDIVIDUAL STRANDS is coming from the WEB, an understanding that is radically UNLIKE the WESTERN CULTURE VIEW of INDEPENDENT BEINGS in an absolute empty and infinite SPACE in which case the ‘VIOLENT INDEPENDENT BEING’ is credited with AUTHORING the VIOLENCE, UNLIKE the VIOLENT STRAND IN THE WEB where it the STRAND is the CONDUIT that is VENTING the community’s AGGREGATED TENSIONS where the RESPONSE to VIOLENCE is the HEALING CIRCLE whose aim is to resolve the TENSIONS in the WEB in a RESTORATIVE JUSTICE FASHION.

 

WESTERN CULTURE, in spite of long standing critiques by philosophers and anthropologists including Jules Henry, Ronald, Lang, Ernest Becker, David Bohm, Lev Vygotsky and many more, remnains a BINARY LOGIC based DISASTER and Donald Trump is only the latest person at the political helm that keeps us LOCKED IN BY HIGH SWITCHING COSTS (programs of rewards and recognition and punishments and denigration based on BINARY LOGIC judgements).

 * * * * * * * * * 

 

 

 

 

Vygotsky’s disagreement with Piaget is to do with LANGUAGE and THOUGHT and what is important in how we EDUCATE our CHILDREN

 

Vygotsky rightly criticizes Piaget for ... (I will use their terminology here although terminology varies in dealing with this (real + imaginary) wave-field subject matter) .. THE SPLITTING APART of the SPONTANEOUS (the imaginary) and the SCIENTIFIC (the real) components of phenomena, AND THEN TOSSING OUT the SPONTANEOUS component (the imaginary).

 

Vygotsky makes the point that THESE TWO (the SPONTANEOUS and the SCIENTIFIC) ARE NOT SEPARATE THINGS AND THEREFORE THEY CANNOT BE SPLIT APART, so that since we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have been following the mistaken practice of Piaget, which was operative prior to Piaget giving it a huge boost, we are introducing a ROYAL SCREW-UP INTO OUR CHILDREN’S AND THUS INTO OUR WESTERN CULTURE’S THINKING and SOCIAL DYNAMIC.  In Vygotsky’s words;

 

“Though fundamentally different in nature, the development of scientific [local and explicit] and spontaneous [nonlocal and implicit] concepts represents two sides of the same concept formation”   implying a WAVE-BASED STRUCTURE.

 

“Our disagreement with Piaget centers on one point only, but an important point. He assumes that development and instruction are entirely separate, incommensurate processes, that the function of instruction is merely to introduce adult ways of thinking, which conflict with the child’s own and eventually supplant them. Such a supposition stems from the old psychological tradition of separating the structural from the functional aspects of development.” –Vygotsky

 

What Vygotsky is saying, and he expends a lot of effort in explaining this in his classic work Мышление И Речь, Психологические Исследования – … Myshleniye I Rech’, Psikhologicheskiye Issledovaniya (Thinking and Speech, Psychological Research), the popular English translationg entitled “Thought and Language”, is that the child’s natural capability for language has a ‘complex’ (real + imaginary) structure which Piaget’s approach to teaching screws up by having the child DROP OUT the spontaneous (the imaginary) while retaining ONLY the scientific (the real), which is a major screw-up since the spontaneous (imaginary) and scientific (real) ONLY EXIST AS CONJUGATES AND NOT AS TWO SEPARATE ENTITIES.

 

THIS IS IMPORTANT!  The common practice in WESTERN CULTURE has become the ERRONEOUS practice used by Piaget which PERVADES our WESTERN CULTURE language usage mode; i.e. our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING OF REALITY.

 

THE FIRST PIAGET ERROR (NOW THE POPULAR BUILT-IN WESTERN CULTURE ERROR) is the crafting of our operative language in a manner that suggests that the SPONTANEOUS (nonlocal and implicit) conjugate and the SCIENTIFIC (local and explicit) conjugate are TWO SEPARATE THINGS WHICH CAN BE CONSIDERED ON THEIR OWN.

 

e.g. THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE (which is one thing, the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE which includes an interesting feature, the TOWNING) which is reduced to ‘THERE IS A TOWN THAT HAS EMERGED IN THE LANDSCAPE’ (which is now TWO THINGS)

 

THE SECOND PIAGET ERROR (NOW THE POPULAR BUILT-IN WESTERN CULTURE ERROR) is the crafting of our operative language in a manner that DROPS OUT THE SPONTANEOUS (nonlocal and implicit) conjugate so that we no longer even mention that the SCIENTIFIC (local and explicit) is INCLUDED WITHIN the SPONTANEOUS (nonlocal and implicit).

 

e.g. ‘THERE IS A TOWN IN THE LANDSCAPE’ is reduced to ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING’ … as if within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE.

 

WHAT IS BEING DONE HERE WITH THESE TWO ERRORS IS THAT WE ARE CONSTRUCTING A NEW BINARY LOGIC based PSEUDO-REALITY wherein we can speak of EITHER the town OR the landscape as if they were TWO INDEPENDENT THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES.  THIS IS THE EXPOSURE TO CONFUSION THAT IS NOW THE GENERAL CASE IN OUR WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING and COMMUNICATING, which Vygotsky is pointing out.

 

NOTICE THAT what has been done here is that the SCIENTIFIC (the LOCAL and EXPLICIT) has been CHOPPED OUT and PRESENTED SEPARATELY AS IF IT EXISTED IN ITS OWN RIGHT (IT DOES NOT!) while the SPONTANEOUS (the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT) has become the DEA ABSCONDITA (Goddess in Hiding) having been REPLACED by ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, a restructructuring that gives the MISTAKEN IMPRESSION of a “reality” that is LOCAL and EXPLICIT.

The dropping out of the SPONTANEOUS (the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT) is like mathematical DIFFERENTIATION whereby we LOSE the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT LANDSCAPE while LIBERATING the SCIENTIFIC (the LOCAL and EXPLICIT).  It is IMPORTANT TO NOTE, … and this is Vygotsky’s point, … that SPONTANEOUS and the SCIENTIFIC “DO NOT SPLIT INTO TWO SEPARATE PARTS, AS WE IMPLY IS POSSIBLE WHEN WE “LINGUISTICALLY” DROP OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING SPONTANEOUS AND GO WITH THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AS IF ‘ON ITS OWN’.    This is a MISTAKE, in that the SPONTANEOUS and SCIENTIFIC are CONJUGATES and are NOT TWO SEPARATE THINGS.

THERE IS “TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” but THERE IS NO “TOWN” that is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING GOODS; i.e.the TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE IS AN INCLUDED FEATURE WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE AND IS “NOT” A SEPARATE THING THAT IS CAPABLE OF ‘GROWING IN ITS OWN RIGHT’ as our WESTERN CULTURE “BEING” based LANGUAGE equips us for MISTAKINGLY ASSERTING.

 

This summarizes what Vygotsky’s complaint about the dumbing down of our language, a ‘dumbing down’ that Piaget has helped to reinforce which is now the WESTERN CULTURE OPERATING STANDARD; i.e. (almost) no-one is saying “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”, but thanks to Piaget and the general trend, (almost) everyone is saying; ‘The TOWN is growing, developing and producing goods, which implies a SPLITTING APART of the CONJUGATE “TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” and DROPPING OUT the phrase; “IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”, which REDUCES …. the TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE wherein ‘everything is in included within the relational flux (mitakuye oyasin) …to ‘THE TOWN’, as if it were a THING-IN-ITSELF notionally with its own GRAMMAR given GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION.  Instead of capturing the reality of the LOCAL and EXPLICIT town being a TOWNING FEATURE within the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE (implying a conjugate relation), PIAGET and WESTERN CULTURE have picked up on the double error of NAMING and GRAMMAR based practice of SPLITTING the ONE THING (the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE WITHIN WHICH THERE IS AN INCLUDED FEATURE; i.e. the TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE), …  into TWO SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT THINGS (the local and explicit [scientific] TOWN … PLUS the nonlocal and implicit [spontaneous]) LANDSCAPE, and then DROPPING OUT the “nonlocal and implicit”[spontaneous] LANDSCAPE.

 

“Though fundamentally different in nature, the development of scientific [local and explicit] and spontaneous [nonlocal and implicit] concepts represents two sides of the same concept formation”   implying a WAVE-BASED STRUCTURE.

 

The problem is, to quote Vygotsky; … “He (Piaget) assumes that development [spontaneous] and instruction [scientific] are entirely separate, incommensurate processes” … i.e. when they are instead, conjugate aspects of a complex (imaginary + real) dynamic.

 

The important difference here lies in how our language influences our conceptualizing of reality; e.g. if we speak in terms such as “there is towning in the transforming landscape”, using only verbs and no nouns, we convey the reality wherein EVERYTHING IS IN TRANSFORMATIVE FLUX as is supported by our sense-experience, however, if we using NAMING to SPLIT OUT what we are calling ‘THE TOWN’ (the scientific which is local and explicit) together with GRAMMAR to SEPARATELY “ANIMATE” this SPLIT OUT ‘TOWN’ and use GRAMMAR to impute to it “ITS OWN LOCAL POWERS OF AUTHORING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT” as in “the TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods”, … we are abstractly INFUSING IMAGINARY LOCAL POWERS INTO ‘THE TOWN’ that CONFLICT with the understanding captured with FLOW-BASED LANGUAGE such as “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX.

 

THE PROBLEM that Vygotsky is pointing to concerns our (Piaget’s) WESTERN CULTURE popularizing of a particular way of using language that REDUCES and SIMPLIFIES our linguistic conceptualization of a world in continual flux wherein everything is related within an all-including TRANSFORMATION.  Starting with our sense-experience, we understand that the nonlocal and implicit TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE INCLUDES the local and explicit TOWN and there is really only one thing here since “the local and explicit” (scientific) TOWN and the “nonlocal and implicit” (spontaneous) TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE concepts represent two sides of the same concept formation”.  

 

In the flow-based languages of indigenous aboriginals and Bohm’s Modern physics compliant Rheomode flow-based language, there are ONLY VERBS and no NOUNS because there are no MATERIAL BEING BASED OBJECTS in the sense-experience affirmed TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.

OK, this note had to first of all deal with popular WESTERN CULTURE MISCONCEPTUALIZATIONS that STAND IN THE WAY AND BLOCK the explaining of the Miner’s Canary as is the primary goal of this note entitled;  “Language vis a vis the SPIRITUAL and MATERIAL (explaining the Miner’s Canary)

 

I have attached the short piece (following this essay)  “How the Miner’s Canary Insight Breaks the BINARY LOGIC STRANGLEHOLD”  (1140 words)

 

The POPULAR WESTERN CULTURE USE OF BINARY LOGIC IS A MAJOR SCREWUP which can be exemplified by considering the difference between how INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURE would handle the events involving Luigi Mangioni and Tyler Robinson.  That is, because indigenous aboriginal cultures understand that EVERYTHING IS RELATED as in INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT, there is no remedy for outbreaks of VIOLENCE by way of ELIMINATING or INCARCERATING the apparent PERPETRATOR HOLDING THE SMOKING GUN, because the situation is that of STRANDS in a WEB where DISTURBANCE IN THE WEB manifests “THROUGH THE DYNAMICS OF THE STRAND” but THE STRAND IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF THE VIOLENCE, ONLY THE CONDUIT and it is the BUILD-UP OF TENSIONS IN THE WEB that is the SOURCE of the VIOLENCE while the VENTING STRAND is only the CONDUIT, hence the need for RESTORATIVE JUSTICE rather than the PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE AS USED IN WESTERN CULTURE.

 

PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE, where the adventure stories of clever sleuths hunting down the GUILTY PERPETRATOR, popularized in WESTERN CULTURE by AGATHA CHRISTIE, have no equivalent in indigenous aboriginal culture with its RESTORATIVE JUSTICE where the understanding is that THERE IS NO LOCAL EXPLICIT AUTHOR of CRIMINAL VIOLENCE because VIOLENCE develops from the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT as with STRANDS IN A WEB where the WEB is the generator and the reservoir for accumulated tensions, while STRANDS are conduits for the VIOLENT ERUPTIONS co-cultivated in the multi-stranded WEB.  The VENTING STRAND is NOT the AUTHOR of the VIOLENCE.  This is a simple, verifiable reality that is CONTRADICTED by WESTERN CULTURE JUSTICE based on the FALSE NOTION of “INDEPENDENT BEING” occupy an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE in which case, WESTERN CULTURE LAW SUPPORTS A MISTAKEN ‘SCAPE-GOATING OF THE “PARTICULAR INDEPENDENT BEING” HOLDING THE SMOKING GUN’, while common sense and indigenous aboriginal cultures UNDERSTAND THAT THE ONE HOLDING THE SMOKING GUN is the CONDUIT for VENTING of TENSIONS that develop within the WEB (the social-relational collective).  The WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE APPROACH IS EXPOSED AS RIDICULOUS in cases such as those involving Luigi Mangioni and Tyler Robinson.

 

In any social collective, tensions and strife can arise in the many-stranded complex WEB of relations and the STRAND that becomes the CONDUIT for the VENTING of a buildup of tensions, participates along with the community in general, in a HEALING CIRCLE where it is understood that emergent VIOLENCE of a STRAND, does NOT ORIGINATE WITH THE STRAND but is a VENTING from the buildup of tensions in the WEB.  The ROOT PROBLEM is the buildup of tensions in the WEB and the VIOLENT STRAND IS ONLY THE “MINER’S CANARY” warning of the buildup of tensions in the WEB or in other words, the issue of A TOXIC ENVIRONMENT wherein the STRANDS IN THE WEB that BECOME VIOLENT, while they are LOCAL CONDUITS of VIOLENCE (building in the WEB), “ARE NOT LOCAL AUTHORS” of VIOLENCE, hence the need for RESTORATIVE JUSTICE rather than PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE.

 

Western culture continues to HOLD ON to the absurd “DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR BASED LOCAL AUTHOR CONCEPT” and give it FOUNDATIONAL STATUS in the WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE SCHEME, even to the point that, in cases like that of Luigi Mangioni and Tyler Robinson, where 340 MILLION PEOPLE are presumed INNOCENT while a miniscule fraction is presumed GUILTY.  This is due to the RIDICULOUS notion of the existence of 340 MILLION “INDEPENDENT BEINGS” which persists because of MALE EGO that claims SOLE AUTHORING of actions which are generally deemed GOOD and BENEFICIAL   That has opened a Pandora’s Box, however, since the BINARY LOGIC based SUPPORTIVE PROPOSITION of THEY EITHER AUTHORED IT OR DID NOT AUTHOR IT leads to results such as 1 person authored it while the other 339,999,999 INNOCENT ONES “DID NOT”, since in WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING everyone is INDEPENDENT and is the FULL AND SOLE AUTHOR of THEIR OWN BEHAVIOUR.

 

LET’S FACE IT, AS STUPID AS THIS SOUNDS AND AS IT IS, the stake in the ground holding it place is the WESTERN CULTURE REWARDS AND RECOGNITION SYSTEM which is based on FULL and SOLE LOCAL AUTHORSHIP which is without any STRANDS IN THE WEB “BLURRING”, where the “BLURRING” is telling it like it is (we can use references to the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT versus the LOCAL and EXPLICIT to clarify what is meant by the WEB ‘BLURRING’ what goes on.

 

The NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) SOURCE OF “AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT” is the understanding of indigenous aboriginals that leads to their development of a RESTORATIVE JUSTICE rather than to a WESTERN CULTURE STYLE PUNITIVE/PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE (identify and eliminate the LOCAL AUTHOR of the VIOLENCE).  IN OTHERWORDS;….

 

The ROOT PROBLEM is the buildup of tensions in the WEB and the VIOLENT STRAND IS ONLY THE “MINER’S CANARY” warning of the buildup of tensions in the WEB or in other words, the issue of A TOXIC ENVIRONMENT wherein the STRANDS IN THE WEB that BECOME VIOLENT, while they are LOCAL CONDUITS of VIOLENCE (building in the WEB), “ARE NOT LOCAL AUTHORS” of VIOLENCE, hence the need for RESTORATIVE JUSTICE rather than PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE.

 

THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS FOR UNDERSTANDING “HOW THINGS WORK’ AND ONE LEADS TO RESTORATIVE JUSTICE AND THE OTHER TO PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE.

 

IN THE FIRST OPTION, THE VIOLENT PERSON (STRAND-IN-THE-WEB) IS RESPONDING TO A TOXIC ENVIRONMENT, while in the SECOND OPTION, the VIOLENT PERSON IS THE LOCAL, INDEPENDENT AUTHOR OF THE VIOLENCE.

 

THE ELICITED RESPONSE IN THE FIRST OPTION (which is employed by indigenous aboriginals) IS THE RESTORING OF BALANCE IN THE WEB.  THE ELICITED RESPONSE IN THE SECOND OPTION (which is employed by WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS) IS THE ELIMINATING OF THE PURPORTED LOCAL, INDEPENDENT AUTHOR OF THE VIOLENCE.

 

The “MINER’S CANARY” allusion refers to THOSE WHOSE VIOLENT or seemingly ABERRANT actions are THEIR RESPONSE TO INCLUSION IN A TOXIC ENVIRONMENT, in which case there is no point hospitalizing them to cure what is assumed to be their INTERNAL ISSUE or to incarcerate them because of their INTERNAL INTENTION-DRIVEN VIOLENT ACTIONS.  These approaches are BINARY LOGIC based in that our model of reality consists of the CANARY or PERSON situated within an EMPTY SPACE in which case there is only ONE PLACE TO LOOK FOR THE SOURCE OF THEIR ABBERANT BEHAVIOUR and it is IN THEIR INTERIOR.

 

ONE MUST shift to a LOGIC LESS SIMPLE THAN BINARY LOGIC (where the ORGANISM WITH THE VIOLENT BEHAVIOUR IS IN EMPTY SPACE) and that LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY LOGIC is the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM wherein THERE IS NO EMPTY SPACE, but what there is, is the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM within which there are MATERIAL FORMS THAT ARE CONDENSATIONS of the PLENUM in which case they are BOTH THEMSELVES (the CONDENSATIONS) AND the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM they are CONDENSATIONS IN.   There means that EVERYTHING (all of the CONDENSATIONS of and in the PLENUM) IS INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT, as with STRANDS IN A WEB, which means that the STRAND is NOT the AUTHOR OF ITS OWN BEHAVIOUR because, while there are STRANDS IN THE WEB, THERE ARE NO INDEPENDENT STRANDS THAT AUTHOR THEIR OWN BEHAVIOUR.   Here we encounter the equivalent of the “THREE BODY PROBLEM’ i.e. the THREE STRAND PROBLEM which points out the impossibility of calculating the individual movements of three or more bodies moving under one-another’s simultaneous mutual influence.  The same applies to three or more interconnected strands in the web, or to three or more swimmers in a WATER BALLET where it is impossible to RATE INDIVIDUALS ON THEIR PERFORMANCE (the individual that is best to GIVING THEMSELF UP SO AS TO SUSTAIN OVERALL HARMONY AND AESTHETIC cannot be judged on something called THEIR OWN PERFORMANCE because it does not exist due to “the impossibility of calculating the individual movements of three or more bodies moving under one-another’s simultaneous mutual influence”.

 

The common WESTERN CULTURE PRACTICE is to impose an ABSTRACT ABSOLUTE REFERENCE FRAME as the basis for extracting from INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT participants in a complex dynamic, their own INDIVIDUAL, SEEMINGLY INDEPENDENT DYNAMICS.  This may FEED THE EGO but it collapses the natural harmonies and resonances that and bring into play the adage (INSPIRATION FILLS THE SOUL while EGO SWELLS THE HEAD).

 

What happens when we shift our reference from the SPONTANEOUS to the SCIENTIFIC?

 

Heinrich von Kleist captures ‘what happens when we shift our reference from the SPONTANEOUS to the SCIENTIFIC’ in his essay;  “On the Marionette Theatre”

 

… I told him I was well aware how consciousness can disturb natural grace. A young acquaintance of mine had as it were lost his innocence before my very eyes, and all because of a chance remark. He had never found his way back to that Paradise of innocence, in spite of all conceivable efforts. “But what inferences”, I added, “can you draw from that?”

 

He asked me what incident I had in mind.

 

“About three years ago”, I said, “I was at the baths with a young man who was then remarkably graceful. He was about fifteen, and only faintly could one see the first traces of vanity, a product of the favours shown him by women. It happened that we had recently seen in Paris the figure of the boy pulling a thorn out of his foot. The cast of the statue is well known; you see it in most German collections. My friend looked into a tall mirror just as he was lifting his foot to a stool to dry it, and he was reminded of the statue. He smiled and told me of his discovery. As a matter of fact, I’d noticed it too, at the same moment, but… I don’t know if it was to test the quality of his apparent grace or to provide a salutary counter to his vanity… I laughed and said he must be imagining things. He blushed. He lifted his foot a second time, to show me, but the effort was a failure, as anybody could have foreseen. He tried it again a third time, a fourth time, he must have lifted his foot ten times, but it was in vain. He was quite unable to reproduce the same movement. What am I saying? The movements he made were so comical that I was hard put to it not to laugh.

 

From that day, from that very moment, an extraordinary change came over this boy. He began to spend whole days before the mirror. His attractions slipped away from him, one after the other. An invisible and incomprehensible power seemed to settle like a steel net over the free play of his gestures. A year later nothing remained of the lovely grace which had given pleasure to all who looked at him. I can tell you of a man, still alive, who was a witness to this strange and unfortunate event. He can confirm it, word for word, just as I’ve described it.”

 

 

WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS HAVE BEEN DROPPING OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE FROM OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS and “GOING WITH” the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE ON ITS OWN.  THIS IS VYGOTSKY’S CRITICISM OF PIAGET, POINTING OUT THAT THE SPONTANEOUS AND SCIENTIFIC are ONE THING WITH TWO ASPECTS LIKE A WAVE WITH PEAK AND TROUGH WHERE WE ARE ABLE TO, BUT WE ARE TALKING RUBBISH WHEN WE DO IT, SPLIT THE PEAK AND TROUGH APART AND SPEAK OF THEM AS IF THEY WERE TWO SEPARATE THING, AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, TOSS OUT THE TROUGH SINCE IT SEEMS KIND OF USELESS and CONTINUE WITH A LANGUAGE CONSTUTED “ONLY” BY THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE, as if that action was TRANSPIRING IN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.   Such a language has THROWN OUT ITS CAPABILITY OF COMMUNICATING the full ANDROGYNOUS dynamics of NATURE such as “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” where the TOWNING is INCLUDED IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE.  THE REDUCTION TO THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE ONLY SUPPORTS ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONCEPTUALIZATIONS.

 

THIS LOSS FROM OUR LANGUAGE of THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE reduces our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS TO SUCH CONSTRUCTS AS “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING THINGS” where there is “NO MENTION OF THE CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS AND THUS NO MENTION OF THE TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE.

 

What our WESTERN CULTURE DROPPING OUT OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING DOES and going forward with COMMUNICATIONS that are reduced to the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ONLY, … is equivalent to DROPPING OUT the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT STRUCTURAL COMPONENT and GOING SOLELY WITH THE LOCAL AND EXPLICIT STRUCTURAL COMPONENT, as just described.  EVERYWHERE WE WANT TO LOOK IN OUR MODERN DAY WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING HAS BEEN DROPPED OUT.  WE (OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING HABIT) HAVE BEEN DROPPING IT OUT.   WE no longer say things like “TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON AND A TIME TO EVERY PURPOSE” which DOES include BOTH the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE together with the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate (BOTH the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT WAVE-TROUGH together with the LOCAL and EXPLICIT WAVE-PEAK).

 

NOTE THAT IN ORDER TO USE BOTH CONJUGATES of FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING which is NONLOCAL and LIMPLICIT together with MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING which is LOCAL and EXPLICIT, the former must be mentioned FIRST because the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT provides THE SOCKET for the LOCAL and EXPLICIT to PLUG INTO (to form the conjugate relation).

 

BUT WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING HAS GOT INTO THE HABIT OF DROPPING OUT THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT SOCKET and GOING WITH ONLY, AND ON ITS OWN, THE LOCAL and EXPLICIT PLUG (the ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING PROPOSITION such as “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods”.

 

THIS ISSUE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DEVELOP THE HABIT OF DROPPING OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate and LEADING OFF OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING WITH THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING PROPOSITION (the MISTAKE WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE MAKING), which equates to the SHIFT from the SPONTANEOUS TO THE SCIENTIFIC IS WHAT Heinrich von Kleist is writing about in his essay;  “On the Marionette Theatre”

 

Vygotsky is agreeing with and explain how WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE SCREWING UP in the fashion described by Heinrich von Kleist and by the Neuroscientist Iain McGilchrist who captures it in the classical physics terms that “the left side of our brains have taken over our minds”

 

EVERYTHING that has been discussed in this essay POINTS TO THE SAME THING; i.e. the indigenous aboriginal understanding of reality is CORRECT and endorsed by MODERN PHYSICS while what now the POPULAR WESTERN CULTURE APPROACH TO LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING IS WRONG because it is DROPPING OUT the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE WHICH IS NOT ONLY PRIMARY in the sense it is the SOCKET for the LOCAL and EXPLICIT MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALING CONJUGATE TO PLUG INTO, BUT WITHOUT IT, LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS DEGENERATE INTO ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING, which as Vygotsky points out, IS UNREAL since the REAL structure is where the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING and the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING ARE CONJUGATES: … I.E. … THEY DO NOT EACH HAVE THEIR OWN ONTOLOGICAL EXISTENCE.  What is REAL is ONE ANDROGYNOUS UNUM wherein the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING is REAL while the LOCAL and EXPLICIT MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING FORMS are only APPEARANCE (Schaumkommen).

 

The TOWN THAT IS GROWING is an IMAGINARY LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION that is simply Schaumkommen (APPEARANCE).

 

THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE is the REAL LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION capturing the PHYSICAL REALITY.

 

WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES based on the BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM, … of MATERIAL FORMS IN EMPTY SPACE, … are INCAPABLE OF CONCEPTUALIZING THE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIU, … wherein MATERIAL FORMS are CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, which supports a REALITY wherein EVERYTHING IS INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT.

 

These understandings are the understandings of BOTH indigenous aboriginals AND MODERN PHYSICS!

 

What is needed, Bohm argued in his book Wholeness and the Implicate Order, is a new sort of language, one based on processes and activity, transformation and change, rather than on the interactions of stable objects. Bohm called this hypothetical language the “rheomode.” It is based primarily on verbs and on grammatical structures deriving from verbs. Such a language, Bohm argued, is perfectly adapted to a reality of enfolding and unfolding matter and thought.

 

David Bohm had not known when he wrote of that concept that such a language is not just a physicist’s hypothesis. It actually exists. The language of the Algonquin peoples was developed by the ancestors specifically to deal with subtle matters of reality, society, thought, and spirituality.

 

A few months before his death, Bohm met with a number of Algonkian speakers and was struck by the perfect bridge between their language and worldview and his own exploratory philosophy. What to Bohm had been major breakthroughs in human thought — quantum theory, relativity, his implicate order and rheomode – were part of the everyday life and speech of the Blackfoot, Mic Maq, Cree and Ojibwaj.” – F. David Peat, ‘Blackfoot Physics’

 

Regarding the title of this essay; Language vis a vis the SPIRITUAL and MATERIAL (explaining the Miner’s Canary)

 

When the reader considers the Heinrich von Kleist story that captures ‘what happens when we shift our reference from the SPONTANEOUS to the SCIENTIFIC’ in his essay;  “On the Marionette Theatre” … we can see where the distinction between SPIRITUAL and MATERIAL can be coming from; i.e. when our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING OF THE “WORLD’ includes BOTH FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING and MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugates, we speak as if we are included in the energy-charged PLENUM wherein WE ARE CONDENSATIONS which is consistent with the STRAND IN THE WEB understanding of indigenous aboriginals.  This is where the FEMALE ACCOMMODSATING/ENABLING NONLOCAL and the IMPLICIT is the SOCKET for the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING LOCAL and EXPLICIT.   But as Vygotsky points out, Piaget supports a linguistic conceptualizing scheme that DROPS OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE (IMPOSSIBLE to break off a wave-trough in reality) and employs ONLY the notional MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate with a new partner to make up for the DROPPING OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING which is a notional ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, thus implying that ACTIONS IN THIS NEW REALITY fabricated by WESTERN CULTURE take place within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.  This NEW LINGUISTICALLY CONCEPTUALIZED ‘REALITY’ because it now ONLY INCLUDES THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING explains what happens to the initially graceful youth who employe the SPONTANEOUS (the female accommodating/enabling) in its natural FOUNDATIONAL ROLE wherein the SCIENTIFIC (the male asserting/actualizing) was secondary; e.g. the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE is the female accommodating/enabling that is in conjugate relation with the TOWNING and the YOUTHING in the TRANSFORMING, but what happens in the Von Kleist story is that the youth becomes self-conscious and egotistical and thus dependent on the SCIENTIFIC and losing touch with the SPONTANEOUS.

 

What has happened to WESTERN CULTURE is that the ENTIRE WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL COLLECTIVE has become dependent on the SCIENTIFIC and has been losing touch with the SPONTANEOUS.    Since the SPONTANEOUS is our natural grounding in the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT wherein everything is INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT, it must be the SOCKET into which the SCIENTIFIC, which is LOCAL and EXPLICIT PLUGS INTO so that the SCIENTIFIC does not become the source of FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM, which has been increasingly manifesting in the WESTERN CULTURE social dynamic.

 

Language vis a vis the SPIRITUAL and MATERIAL (explaining the Miner’s Canary):

 

Because our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING has been steadily shifting away from “To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose” where we used language that supports the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING “SPONTANEOUS” within its conjugate relation with the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING SCIENTIFIC, and are now commonly focusing EXCLUSIVELY on the LOCAL and EXPLICIT SCIENTIFIC CONTENT without the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT SPONTANEOUS such as “the TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING’, we are DROPPING OUT the SPIRITUAL conjugate (the unbounded container) and substituting only SCIENTIFIC conjugate of local content as if within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.

 

The MINER’S CANARY anecdote is a reminder that “Space is not empty.  It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.” –David Bohm, in which case, we may experience through our inclusion in the PLENUM, inclusion in NURTURANCE and inclusion in TOXICITY, the KEY POINT BEING that ‘our BEHAVIOUR’ is NOT simply SOURCED FROM OUR INTERIOR as WESTERN CULTURE tends to assume (using the one-sided male-asserting/actualizing model) but as the Miner’s Canary shows us, our behaviour is being INDUCTIVELY SHAPED by INFLUENCES within the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM which may be NURTURANT and may be TOXIC, in which case the behaviours of Luigi Mangioni and Tyler Robinson may be inductively shaped by the evident toxic environments that manifest in a highly polarized WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL DYNAMIC, in which case the REMEDY is NOT the ELIMINATION of the MINER’S CANARIES but the RESOLVING of TOXICITY in the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM as experienced by CONDENSATIONS aka STRANDS IN THE WEB which are IN NO WAY ‘INDEPENDENT BEINGS INSULATED FROM ONE OTHER BY THEIR NOTIONAL INCLUSION IN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE’; i.e. in the energy-charged plenum, EVERYTHING (all condensations) are INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT, as understood by the STRANDS IN THE WEB aphorism of indigenous aboriginals and CONDENSATIONS of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM as understood by Modern physics, and agreement which is reaffirmed by; …  What to Bohm had been major breakthroughs in human thought — quantum theory, relativity, his implicate order and rheomode – were part of the everyday life and speech of the Blackfoot, Mic Maq, Cree and Ojibwaj.” .

HOW THE MINER’S CANARY INSIGHT BREAKS THE BINARY LOGIC STRANGLEHOLD  (1140 words)

 

BINARY Logic is the EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM as exemplified by “EITHER MATTER OR SPACE” of CLASSICAL PHYSICS

 

NONBINARY Logic is the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM as exemplified by the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM and ITS CONDENSATIONS of MODERN PHYSICS

 

What we have taken to be MATERIAL OBJECTS or ORGANISMS in EMPTY SPACE are CONDENSATIONS of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM which are INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT.  “Space is not empty.  It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.” –David Bohm

 

The Miner’s Canary that ‘fell ill’ inside the mine was an important signal; i.e. “Canaries are more sensitive to poisons like Carbon Monoxide than humans and would show signs of distress, such as lethargy or falling off their perch, before humans. This would give miners time to evacuate the dangerous environment.”

 

In WESTERN CULTURE, the knee-jerk presumption in seeing symptoms of illness in a person or bird is to assume that ‘THEY HAVE AN ILLNESS’ in their internal systems, and NOT that they are healthy and sensitive and are reacting to a TOXIC ENVIRONMENT as in the case of the miner’s canary.

 

The CONFUSING ELEMENT here is that some HUMANS are MORE SENSITIVE (and to different things) THAN OTHERS so that if the ENVIRONMENT (e.g. the SOCIAL DYNAMIC) becomes CONFLICT FILLED aka TOXIC, the MORE SENSITIVE INDIVIDUAL MAY GO BONKERS, a BREAK-DOWN that will be interpreted by the LESS SENSITIVE MAJORITY WHO ARE CO-CREATING THE TOXIC ENVIRONMENT, as if the SENSITIVE INDIVIDUAL is EXPERIENCING ITS OWN INTERNAL ILLNESS WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM, and will HOSPITALIZE or INCARCERATE the VIOLENT or BONKERS individual.  That is, the less-sensitive majority is UNAWARE that they are CO-AUTHORING A TOXIC ENVIRONMENT, and are mistaking the ABERRANT BEHAVIOUR of the SENSITIVE INDIVIDUAL as being INTERNALLY SOURCED when it is IN REALITY EXTERNALLY SOURCED by TOXICITY they are co-contributors to.

 

This explains the CONFUSION of investigators into ASSASSINATIONS such as those by Luigi Mangioni (who shot and killed Brian Thompson) and Tyler Robinson (who shot and killed Charlie Kirk), in that they check out as psychologically ‘normal people’ instead of psychopaths.   This has been a common finding with mass shooters and points to an understanding wherein violent behaviour is sourced by TOXIC ENVIRONMENTS, which is why indigenous aboriginals respond to VIOLENT OUTBURSTS in the social collective with RESTORATIVE JUSTICE (gathering everyone in the healing circle) rather than with PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE (eliminating of the perceived perpetrator or ‘smoking gun holder’). The holder of the smoking gun is, in indigenous aboriginal, culture, seen a STRAND in the WEB of community (wherein the STRANDS are interconnected and interdependent).  In this understanding, the STRAND as the shooter is the CONDUIT for VENTING TENSIONS that build up within the WEB (the social collective).  There is NO LOCAL AUTHOR in this STRANDS-in-the-WEB, which is why JUSTICE is RESTORATIVE rather than purificationist.

 

Bohm’s statement; “Space is not empty.  It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.”

This means that the PLENUM may be TOXIC (dissonant) or it may be NURTURANT (resonant) but NOT EMPTY and while the less sensitive may not be aware of a shifting of the PLENUM from NURTURANT to TOXIC, it is evident that Mangioni and Robinson were very aware and felt ‘called into action’ by such shifts (like Miner’s Canaries that not only sense TOXICITY but act so to as try to eliminate it).

 

In order to understand what is going on here, the LOGIC cannot be the SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM where we focus on the LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL ORGANISM (canary or human and its INTERNAL WORKINGS.  The LOGIC in this case must be the LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, the standard logic in Modern physics wherein the material CONDENSATION is BOTH itself AND the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM it is included in.

 

It is EASY for us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS to CONFUSE ABERRANT BEHAVIOUR of a human due to a TOXIC ENVIRONMENT, as INSTEAD deriving from the DYSFUNCTION in the interior neural system of that human.  The notion of internal neural system authoring is promoted by our standard use of BINARY LOGIC based language which DROPS OUT the female accommodating/enabling conjugate of the energy-charged PLENUM and constrains action to the male asserting/actualizing (what the active agent does as if in empty space).  In other words, BECAUSE OF OUR USE OF SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM based LANGUAGE, the ENVIRONMENT containing the action is constrained to being EMPTY SPACE in which case it is impossible to introduce the notion of a TOXIC environment since that ‘SLOT’ is filled by the standard fill-in of EMPTY SPACE.  In order to introduce the presence of a TOXIC ENVIRONMENT, NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM is required.

 

Note that in the case of the Miner’s Canary, the full understanding was already there for us since someone had tuned in to the fact that CANARIES are more sensitive to environmental influences than humans and are great DETECTORS of TOXIC environments, so long as people do not MISTAKE their aberrant behaviours as having an internal, psychological defectiveness origin rather than a (toxic) environment induced origin.

 

There is NO REASON why this same TOXIC ENVIRONMENT phenomenon (since that which is TOXIC to one person may be INNOCUOUS to another who does not have that same ‘sensitivity’) WOULD NOT apply to VIOLENT outbursts in the case of the assassinations by Luigi Mangioni and Tyler Robinson who were reacting to what, to them were TOXIC ENVIRONMENTS fuelled by those they targeted (Brian Thompson and Charlie Kirk).

 

* * * *  as suggested earlier;

 

The CONFUSING ELEMENT here is that some HUMANS are MORE SENSITIVE (and to different things) THAN OTHERS so that if the ENVIRONMENT (e.g. the SOCIAL DYNAMIC) becomes CONFLICT FILLED aka TOXIC, the MORE SENSITIVE INDIVIDUAL MAY GO BONKERS, a BREAK-DOWN that will be interpreted by the LESS SENSITIVE MAJORITY WHO ARE CO-CREATING THE TOXIC ENVIRONMENT, as if the SENSITIVE INDIVIDUAL is EXPERIENCING ITS OWN INTERNAL ILLNESS WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM, and will HOSPITALIZE or INCARCERATE the VIOLENT or BONKERS individual.

 

Many people will only thinly veil their support for the actions of Luigi Mangioni and Tyler Robinson, suggesting that while the material developments are saddening; i.e. the loss of husbands to wives and families, there has been some sort of needed spiritual uplifting. As with Robin Hood and Jean Valjean, the material laws dominate even if at the expense of spiritual well-being, and when people re-prioritize the spirit over the material, there is intuitive uplift even in the presence of material loss.

WHY WE (WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS) NEED TO ‘RE-LEARN HOW TO SPEAK’

0

 

 

Dialogue, as spoken in the days of Shakespeare, it seems MORE ELOQUENT than today’s speech, SO WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR SPEECH AND WHY?

 

“Iain McGilchrist’s book, The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World, makes the case that the left hemisphere has taken over our minds and reshaped the world in its image in a way that is good for neither humans nor the planet and everything that lives on it.

“A way of thinking which is reductive, mechanistic has taken us over,” said McGilchrist in The Divided Brain.

 “We behave like people who have right hemisphere damage.

“The left hemisphere’s goal is to enable us to manipulate things, whereas the goal of the right hemisphere is to relate to things and understand them as a whole. Two ways of thinking that are both needed, but are fundamentally at the same time incompatible.”

“[The left hemisphere] treats the world as a simple resource to be exploited. It’s made us enormously powerful. It’s enabled us to become wealthy, but it’s also meant that we’ve lost the means to understand the world, to make sense of it, to feel satisfaction and fulfilment through our place in the world.”

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/neuroscientist-argues-the-left-side-of-our-brains-have-taken-over-our-minds-1.6219688#:~:text=*Originally%20published%20on%20October%2022,understand%20them%20as%20a%20whole.   “

 

Ok, McGilchrist is a NEUROSCIENTIST and he is describing what is going on from a NEUROSCIENTIST’S point of view, and his findings are REAFFIRMED in the languages of PHYSICS by Bohm and in PSYCHIATRY by Laing and Vygotsky and in Philosophy by Wittgenstein in the respective languages of their profession; i.e. THEY ARE ALL SAYING THE SAME THING; … i.e. as McGilchrist puts it, WE’VE LOST THE MEANS TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD.

 

*** NOTE ON LANGUAGE USAGE * * *

 

Since my investigations have been based in PHYSICS and the REVOLUTIONARY RE-THINKING of PHYSICS which has taken things from MATERIAL OBJECTS IN EMPTY SPACE, to the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM where we now recognize MATERIAL FORMS to be CONDENSATIONS OF THE ALL-INCLUDING PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD, my preference has been to use the language of DAVID BOHM.  Bohm describes what is going on in the WAVE-FIELD based terms of “THE DROP OUT OF THE FEMALE CONJUGATE, referring the PEAKING and TROUGHING of the WAVE where the PEAKING is the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING component of the WAVE and the TROUGHING is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING component of the WAVE, … and HERE WE MUST NOT FORGET that EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX so that PEAKING and TROUGHING only give the APPEARANCE that there are “PEAKS” and “TROUGHS”.   This is just a CAUTIONARY NOTE to remind ourselves that THERE ARE NO ACTUAL “THINGS” such “PEAKS” and “TROUGHS”, there is only “PEAKING” and “TROUGHING”.  We can’t CATCH A PEAK and put it in on display as a stand alone item, and likewise in regard to the TROUGH.

It is NOT my desire to COMPLICATE THE HELL OUT OF THINGS, thus CONFUSING THE READER, but having “WORKED” on the challenges of communicating these things for many years, I know that EVEN famous thinkers like PIAGET (as Vygotsky points out) SCREW UP by FORGETTING THAT WHILE OUR LANGUAGE HAS THE CAPABILITY OF PUTTING TOGETHER AN AMALGUM OF “TRUTH AND LIES” (LANGUAGE IS “PUTTY IN OUR HANDS”) IT SUPPORTS OUR MISTAKEN ELABORATIONS ON “WHAT A PEAK DOES” (“WE SAY THAT” IT GROWS LARGE AND PUSHES THINGS) and “WHAT A TROUGH DOES” (“WE SAY THAT” IT DEEPENS AND OPENS UP AND REALLY SUCKS), our MANNER OF SPEAKING in terms of WAVES, if we are not careful, CAN CONFUSE THE ISSUE and MISREPRESENT PHYSICAL REALITY, and, YES, VYGOTSKY IS CORRECT, PIAGET HAS REALLY SCREWED US UP, but we are OVERCOMING HIS SCREW-UP IN THIS NOTE.

*** END OF NOTE ON LANGUAGE USAGE * * * *

 

Ok, the above note is just a CAUTION to reminds ourselves that what we really need is a FLOW BASED LANGUAGE rather than the BEING BASED LANGUAGE that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are using, because by our giving a foundational role in our language to the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING (inventing things-that-be) and GRAMMAR (giving local authoring powers to the invented things-that-be), while it CONVENIENTLY BREAKS EVERYTHING UP INTO LOCAL, EXPLICIT SEPARATE FRAGMENTS, gives us in the same fell swoop, AN EXPOSURE TO ERROR BY WAY OF SPLITTING APART THAT WHICH, IN REALITY, IS INNATELY NON-SPLITTABLE; i.e. WHERE THE MATERIAL FORMS (CONTENT) AND THEIR ENERGY CHARGED PLENUM (CONTAINER) “ARE ONLY ONE”.

Has the WORLD EVER SEEN a more POLARIZED and DYSFUNCTIONAL SOCIETY than today’s WESTERN CULTURE where the extremes are now playing out in the U.S. under the divisive leadership of Donald Trump, where the OPERATIVE POLICY continues to be EVERYONE IS INNOCENT UNLESS PROVEN GUILTY so that in the case of the killing of Charlie Kirk by Tyler Robinson, 340 million Americans caught up in VICIOUSLY POLARIZED SOCIO-POLITICAL TENSIONS which spawned this killing of Kirk, continue to HIDE BEHIND THE “INNOCENT UNLESS PROVEN GUILTY” shield.  There is NO MOVE in the U.S. towards RESTORATIVE JUSTICE which would hold the full 340 million responsible rather than SCAPE-GOATING a SOLO STRAND IN THE TWISTING, TURNING WEB.

A HEALING CIRCLE IS NEEDED but BINARY LOGIC based PURIFICATIONISM continues to dominate in WESTERN CULTURE “JURIS PRUDENCE”.

* * * * * * * * 

 

 

We live in a world wherein different people see things DIFFERENTLY because of our use of DIFFERENT LANGUAGES (LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES).

Much like Erich Jantsch, my philosophical investigations suggest that we have developed within our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING ACTIVITY, THREE DIFFERING WORLD VIEWS based on THREE DIFFERING LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES, much as in Jantsch’s scheme, but with important differences.

In order to get to the highest of OUR THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS (which is common to Jantsch’s and my own conceptualization) we can consider the MINER’S CANARY situation wherein our AWARE EXPERIENCE derives from our inclusion in what Modern physics calls THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka the WAVE-FIELD in which we are CONDENSATIONS, which is consistent with the STRAND-IN-THE-WEB understanding of indigenous aboriginals.  Both David Bohm and Erwin Schroedinger have pointed to this SAME STRUCTURE OF THE WORLD we live in wherein “SUBJECT AND OBJECT ARE ONLY ONE” which acknowledges that we are in relationships that can be conceived of as STRANDS in a WEB consistent with the CONDENSATIONS of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM (WAVE-FIELD) understanding which requires NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM.   That is, this “SUBJECT AND OBJECT ARE ONLY ONE” relation gives us an understanding wherein we are “BOTH” ourselves, the condensation “AND” at the same time, the energy-charged PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD that we are included in.

The Miner’s Canary anecdote recounts how the miners brought canaries into the mines with them because the canaries are SENSITIVE DETECTORS OF DANGEROUS GASES SUCH AS METHANE when mixed in with the common oxygen/air mix, which had led to explosions and loss of miners lives.  Our common WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME does NOT distinguish between a HUMAN working on the surface of the earth and a HUMAN working in a mine.  This is because our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME uses NAME-TAGS with FIXED, UNCHANGING LABELS, for example, “HUMANS” and “CANARIES”, we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS give ourselves the impression, THROUGH THIS SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM based scheme, the impression that we are a SELF-CONTAINED SYSTEM constituted by our INTERNAL PHYSICAL “PARTS” including our internal organs, circulatory and resperatory systems etc.

NOTA BENE: THIS IS THE SIMPLE REDUCTIONIST SYSTEM OF LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION which is the LOWEST OF Jantsch’s THREE LEVELS). In this LOWEST of AWARENESS LEVELS we use BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM to cast ourselves as INDEPENDENT MATERIAL BEINGS with our own powers of movement and interactions with OTHER INDEPENDENT MATERIAL BEINGS within a notional ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.

[We may keep in mind here Korzybski’s reminder that ‘the WORD IS NOT THE THING’  which comes into play in Bohm’s observation that FRAGMENTATION built into our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME can bring on FRAGMENTATION in our MIND (such as Schizophrenia) and thus FRAGMENTATION in our sociel dynamics].

By constructing our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS in terms of MATERIAL OBJECTS moving and interacting within an EMPTY SPACE CONTAINER, this means that our CONCEPTUALIZING only has to deal with the DYNAMICS of LOCAL, EXPLICIT, MATERIAL BEING things, as if this “empty containing space” served as ‘insulation’ that rendered “INDEPENDENT” all of the MATERIAL BEINGS within it. This supports a BINARY LOGIC based SIMPLICITY in the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS that avoids COMPLEXITIES such as the famous one pointed out by Heracitus; ”

“No man ever steps in the same river twice for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.”   – Heraclitus

Heraclitus’ understanding that ‘EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX’ has been supported by INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURES, and also MODERN PHYSICS where it ties to the INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT nature of CONDENSATIONS in WAVE-FIELDS. HOWEVER, we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS CONTINUE TO USE THE SIMPLISTIC LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME which speaks of a FRAGMENTED PSEUDO-REALITY consisting of ABSOLUTE MATERIAL BEING based objects (THANKS TO OUR NAMING the CONDENSATIONS) and our notional equipping them with “THEIR OWN POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS”  (which is THANKS TO THE GRAMMER WE HAVE BUILT INTO OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME).

David Bohm has pointed out HOW CONFUSING THIS WESTERN CULTURE FRAGMENTED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME has been and continues to be for our WESTERN CULTURE social collectives; e.g. his following LEAD-IN to the FIRST CHAPTER of Wholeness and the Implicate Order.

1 FRAGMENTATION AND WHOLENESS  (from Wholeness and the Implicate Order, David Bohm)

 

The title of this chapter is ‘Fragmentation and wholeness’. It is especially important to consider this question today, for afragmentation is now very widespread, not only throughout society, but also in each individual and this is leading to a kind of general confusion of the mind, which creates an endless series of problems and interferes with our clarity of perception so seriously as to prevent us from being able to solve most of them.

 

Thus art, science, technology, and human work in general, are divided up into specialities, each considered to be separate in essence from the others. Becoming dissatisfied with this state of affairs, men have set up further interdisciplinary subjects, which were intended to unite these specialities, but these new subjects have ultimately served mainly to add further separate fragments. Then, society as a whole has developed in such a way that it is broken up into separate nations and different religious, political, economic, racial groups, etc. Man’s natural environment has correspondingly been seen as an aggregate of separately existent parts, to be exploited by different groups of people. Similarly, each individual human being has been fragmented into a large number of separate and conflicting compartments, according to his different desires, aims, ambitions, loyalties, psychological characteristics, etc., to such an extent that it is generally accepted that some degree of neurosis is inevitable, while many individuals going beyond the ‘normal’ limits of fragmentation are classified as paranoid, schizoid, psychotic, etc.

The GLOBAL DYSFUNCTION KNOWN AS WESTERN CULTURE

0

 

AUTHOR’S PREFACE: The various PROBLEMS WITH WESTERN CULTURE that are written about by Laing, Henry, Bohm, Wittgenstein, Schroedinger, and Wittgenstein ALL DEAL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM which is that BECAUSE WE ARE LIVING IN A WAVE-FIELD WORLD, we need a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that is NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM based and MOST OF the DYSFUNCTION in WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL DYNAMICS is coming from our use of A TOO SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING.  For example, we NEED TO SAY THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE but this is a NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM linguistic conceptualizing which is BEYOND REACH of our BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM based linguistic conceptualizing which is limited to ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’ or ‘the TOWN is DEVELOPING’ or ‘THE TOWN is PRODUCING goods’, all of which suffer from the Goedel’s Theorem INCOMPLETENESS OF ALL FINITE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS (the common propositions which are only capturing the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING (i.e. ‘the TOWN is GROWING’) and which DROP OUT the REMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING  (i.e. THE WILDERNESS IS SHRINKING which is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING NEEDED fOR THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING “GROWING” of the TOWN to occur.  Thus, to speak in terms that ‘the TOWN IS GROWING’ is WRONG in the sense that it is INCOMPLETE which is the weakness of ALL FINITE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS.

The poin here is that the COMMON PRACTICE in WESTERN CULTURE has been to LIMIT our discourse to SIMPLE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS which are BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM based such as ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ which MAKES NO MENTION of the PRIMARY PLAYER which is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate which is ALWAYS INCLUDED IN INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING AND IN MODERN PHYSICS because we live in an ANDROGYNOUS WAVE-FIELD WORLD where for all instances of MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING such as GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION, there is together with this a FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE SHRINKING of WILDERNESS, COLLAPSING of prior development and CONSUMPTION of production, and these conjugates actually play out together in the ONLY REAL DYNAMIC which is the ALL-INCLUDING CONTINUING TRANSFORMATION.  That’s why TRUMP and MUSK are always so CONSPICUOUSLY WRONG because they speak (construct LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS) in such a manner as to highlight the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING such as ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ which is MISSING ITS FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate (the WILDERNESS IS SHRINKING)   There is much more to this PROBLEM hidden in our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, including the Miner’s Canary problem.  The problem here is that it involves the NONBINARY LOGIC concept of a TOXIC SPACE (RELATIONAL DISSONANCE IN THE PLENUM – CONDENSATION RELATION) which is TOO COMPLICATED for the usual WESTERN CULTURE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM (empty space) construction wherein, if our CANARY IS SICK, the only place it could be coming from is INSIDE THE CANARY since in our BINARY LOGIC modeling scheme there is ONLY the CANARY as if within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE in which case, if the CANARY is behaving strangely, the only possible source could be a MALFUNCTIONING WITHIN THE CANARY.  NOT SO in indigenous aboriginal culture, nor in MODERN PHYSICS where LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SUPPORTS the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, wherein, as Bohm forcefully reminds us;

“Space is not empty.  It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.” (David Bohm).

SPACE is NOT EMPTINESS, it is WAVE-FIELD and the CONDENSATION and the WAVE-FIELD can be RESONANT (NURTURANT) and it can be DISSONANT (TOXIC).  In this case, we have a STRAND IN THE WEB situation (or a WHORLING in the FLOWING situation) where it is IMPOSSIBLE to ISOLATE the SOURCE of BEHAVIOUR so that we can determine in any of these cases whether THE STRAND IS STIRRING UP THE WEB OR VICE VERSA, … or the WHORLING IS STIRRING UP THE FLOWING or VICE VERSA, or the CONDENSATION is STIRRING UP THE PLENUM or VICE-VERSA.

 

THERE ARE NO BINARY CHOICES HERE IN ANY OF THESE CASES BECAUSE THE LOCAL AND EXPLICIT ITEM OF CONTENT IN ALL CASES, IS ONLY SCHAUMKOMMEN (APPEARANCE) and what we have is an ANDROGYNOUS combination of the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT REALITY with the LOCAL and EXPLICIT APPEARANCE.

Psychiatrist Ronald Laing’s “THE DIVIDED SELF” and Anthropologist Jules Henry’s “CULTURE AGAINST MAN”,  Modern physics pioneer David Bohm’s ‘FRAGMENTATION’ leadoff chapter in “Wholeness and the Implicate Order” are frequently cited in my writing and these critiques are not simply a collection of RANDOM ATTACKS coming from PERSONAL BIAS.

 

Yes, I may sound like a BROKEN RECORD, in terms of critiques, but there’s more of a message ‘between the lines’ than in a simple summing of the critiques.  As Wittgenstein puts it;

 

My propositions are elucidatory in this way: he who understands me finally recognizes them as senseless, when he has climbed out through them, on them, over them. (He must so to speak throw away the ladder, after he has climbed up on it.) He must surmount these propositions; then he sees the world rightly” — Wittgenstein

 

This FIRST FORM that the message comes in has been often repeated in some form or another, and if I was to quote Hitler, I would also be citing Nietzsche who rightly referred to the WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL COLLECTIVE as “THE HERD”, for example a “HERD” that follows the LEADER in pursuing “GROWTH”, “DEVELOPMENT” and “PRODUCTION” …. IN SPITE OF THE REALITY THAT WE LIVE IN A TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM and it is the TRANSFORMATION that we are co-contributing to which is the PRIMARY REALITY, and these “THINGS” that we say are “GROWING”, “DEVELOPING” and “PRODUCING” … DO NOT EXIST OTHER THAN AS ILLUSIONS THAT KEEP US HERD-MEMBERS MOTIVATED and thus “IN LINE”.  To quote from the heartland of a previous essay;

 

WHY AM I ASKING THE QUESTION: DO WE REALLY BELIEVE IN GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION …. INSTEAD OF TRANSFORMATION?

 

“THE HERD” is what Nietzsche calls us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS because we go along with FEIGNED BELIEF IN INDEPENDENT NATIONS and similar BULLSHIT that is de rigeur to pretend to believe in, in our WESTERN CULTURE even though it is blatant bullshit.  Psychiatrist Ronald Lang and Anthropologist Jules Henry put our WESTERN CULTURE “HERD” mentality in very succinct and brutal terms;

 

Culture is an obsession that flies in the face of contradiction: to engulf the mind so that it will see the world only as a culture decrees it shall be seen; to compel a person to become absurd. … In order not to fail, most people are willing to believe anything and to care not whether what they are told is true or false.  Only by remaining absurd can one feel free from fear of failure.  Hence the immovableness of the absurd.”  — Jules Henry,

 

It is Henry’s contention that in practice education has never been an instrument to free the mind and the spirit of man, but to bind them. We think we want creative children, but what do we want them to create? — ‘If all through school the young were provoked to question the Ten Commandments, the sanctity of revealed religion, the foundations of patriotism, the profit motive, the two party system, monogamy, the laws of incest, and so on … — there would be such creativity that society would not know where to turn. …  Children do not give up their innate imagination, curiousity, dreaminess easily. You have to love them to get them to do that. Love is the path through permissiveness to discipline; and through discipline, only too often, to betrayal of self.” R. D. Laing

 

The BELIEF in INDEPENDENT NATIONS is one of those absurdities that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have been ‘programmed’ to feign belief in, BUT WE PAY A HEAVY PRICE, THE FRAGMENTATION OF OUR OWN PSYCHE.

  The IMPORTANCE of Vygotsky’s FINDING of Piaget’s MISTAKES that are SCREWING UP Western Culture LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING

 

This is tricky and it is a BIG DEAL in that it EXPLAINS Bohm’s CRITICISM of how we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are FRAGMENTING our LANGUAGE and THOUGHT.

 

I will insert key paragraphs from Bohm’s “Wholeness and the Implicate Order” for easy reference if you should need it, but I am going to share with you a kind of FULL ‘FREEHAND’ explanation of what is going on and why it matters.  Here are the key paragraphs from Bohm’s analysis which you can jump over so that we can follow another simpler route taking you to the same understanding of how WESTERN CULTURE ADMINISTRATORS ARE SCREWING UP.  (you can jump over this following paragraph and continue with this ‘FREEHAND’ discussion stream);

 

1 FRAGMENTATION AND WHOLENESS  (from Wholeness and the Implicate Order, David Bohm)

 

The title of this chapter is ‘Fragmentation and wholeness’. It is especially important to consider this question today, for fragmentation is now very widespread, not only throughout society, but also in each individual; and this is leading to a kind of general confusion of the mind, which creates an endless series of problems and interferes with our clarity of perception so seriously as to prevent us from being able to solve most of them.

 

Thus art, science, technology, and human work in general, are divided up into specialities, each considered to be separate in essence from the others. Becoming dissatisfied with this state of affairs, men have set up further interdisciplinary subjects, which were intended to unite these specialities, but these new subjects have ultimately served mainly to add further separate fragments. Then, society as a whole has developed in such a way that it is broken up into separate nations and different religious, political, economic, racial groups, etc. Man’s natural environment has correspondingly been seen as an aggregate of separately existent parts, to be exploited by different groups of people. Similarly, each individual human being has been fragmented into a large number of separate and conflicting compartments, according to his different desires, aims, ambitions, loyalties, psychological characteristics, etc., to such an extent that it is generally accepted that some degree of neurosis is inevitable, while many individuals going beyond the ‘normal’ limits of fragmentation are classified as paranoid, schizoid, psychotic, etc.

 

… here we do with the continuing ‘FREEHAND’ discussion stream.

 

We are living in a WAVE-FIELD which we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS don’t usually DIRECTLY POINT OUT but the WAVE-FIELD understanding is implicit in our sense-experience and it is implicit in indigenous aboriginal and other FLOW-BASED LANGUAGES (“LANGUAGES can be seen as Linguistic Conceptualizing Schemes that differ in how they have us imagine “where we are and what we are up to”).  For example, the flow-based linguistic conceptualizing scheme of indigenous aboriginals, which agrees with that of MODERN PHYSICS, brings us the impression that we are like STRANDS IN A WEB or CONDENSATIONS in a TRANSFORMING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.  However, our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME is based on a notional ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE which CONTAINS many independent MATERIAL OBJECTS including HUMAN BEINGS that purportedly move about and interact within the EMPTY SPACE.   This WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME IS A SCHEME THAT SIMPLIFIES WHAT WE ARE PRESENTING AS “REALITY” by SUBSTITUTING EMPTY SPACE THE PLENUM which amounts to GETTING RID OF THE WEB and going with the STRANDS, hence the FRAGMENTATION that shows up in our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE.

 

WESTERN CULTURE ADMINISTRATORS HELP TO KEEP US ALL ON ‘THE SAME PAGE’ as far as the ABSTRACT FRAGMENTED CONVENTIONS such as INDEPENDENT NATIONS that WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS pretend “REALLY ARE INDEPENDENT” and, as cooperating groups, JOINTLY PRETENDING THAT IMAGINARY LINE BOUNDARIES REALLY DO DEFINE SEPARATELY OWNED AND OPERATED “INDEPENDENT NATIONS” wherein the CLAIMANT GROUPS can, working together, co-cultivate a WORKING VERSION of that PURELY IMAGINARY LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION.  It doesn’t matter if there are large numbers of indigenous aboriginals Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents that are NOT WILLING to abandon their MITAKUYE OYASIN (everything is related) understanding and DON’T WANT TO SUPPORT such UNREAL, FRAGMENTING WESTERN CULTURE PSEUDO-REALITIES, which as Bohm points out, “ARE DRIVING US CRAZY”  … “…while many individuals going beyond the ‘normal’ limits of fragmentation are classified as paranoid, schizoid, psychotic, etc.

 

In spite of its downsides, there remains in WESTERN CULTURE, a SUPPORTING ‘quorum’ (why not since it means getting ownership of one’s own tract of land?) needed to PRETEND that this FRAGMENTING IMAGINARY PSEUDO-REALITY actually exists (i.e. to speak as if it [one’s own ‘independent’ nation] does exist as a local, explicit thing in spite of what the indigenous aboriginals say.).  The requires the discipline of a controlling majority willing to perform the COLONIZING in exchange for a piece of the COLONIZED, IMAGINARY LINE BOUNDED TRACT OF LAND along with a commitment to BEAR ARMS as necessary to SECURE and MAINTAIN OWNERSHIP.  This also comes with the necessary willingness to ACKNOWLEDGE ) the agreed legitimacy of the elected LEADERSHIP of the NATION’S ADMINISTRATORS.   As a COMMUNITY OF INDEPENDENT NATIONS, there is also a requirement to accept the time-to-time addition of NEW INDEPENDENT NATIONS and/or REMOVING PARTS OF EXISTING ONES as is currently underway with the UKRAINE and RUSSIA and also underway with ISRAEL and PALESTINE.  All of this IMAGINATION BASED FRAGMENTATION of what is in sense-experience reality a continuous landscape does not depend on a commitment from EVERYONE (the indigenous aboriginals continue to have annual protest marches along the imaginary boundary line defining U.S. Canada as SEPARATE and INDEPENDENT POLITICAL ENTITIES.  The systems of government with military backup of the INDEPENDENT NATIONS ensures the persistence of backers for this IMAGINARY SCHEME, whether or not those backers are doing so from the point of view of securing a piece of REAL-ESTATE in the nationalist venture, or like the indigenous aboriginals, simply ‘going along with’ the FRAGMENTATIVE DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE based scheme that they do NOT have the power to revoke, even as the DYSFUNCTIONAL NATURE of it continues to manifest as BOHM has pointed out (see above note on FRAGMENTATION).

 

The STABILITY as to the RETENTION of this FRAGMENTATION (which is all in the ‘heads’ of the global social collective and ignored by whomever can get away with ignoring it (including at a minimum, the four-leggeds and the winged and crawling ones who are NOT encumbered by the crazy, synthetically FRAGMENTING schemes of certain organized factions of the two-leggeds which exist and persist thanks to the powerful influence of weaponry that advancing technology continues to make more lethal).  The ‘ARMS RACE’ as it has been called, is supporting a second generation of LAND SEIZURES for those who missed out on the first rounds of ‘musical’ chairs.

 

Because of the DISMAL FUTURE PROSPECTS of how this military might driven, FRAGMENTATION based system of INDEPENDENT NATIONS (INDEPENDENCE has always been a JOKE as the RICH get RICHER and the POOR get POORER, thanks to the reality that BALANCE of MILITARY POWER has become the more dominant influence in the sustaining of peaceful relations than the presumed natural inclination in support of social harmony and good will.

 

The many influences impacting how the future of the GLOBAL SOCIAL DYNAMIC unfolds makes predictions very difficult but this note is focused on things we know are MISTAKES that we need to fix, such as BINARY LOGIC based FRAGMENTATION fuelled by ERRORS in our WESTERN CULTURE THOUGHT and LANGUAGE that is PROGRESSIVELY UNDERMINING our natural tendency towards social-relational balance and harmony.

HERE IS THE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING ERROR THAT IS THE SOURCE OF SCREW-UP ON A GLOBAL BASIS

0

 

 

Believe it or NOT, HERE IS THE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING ERROR THAT IS THE SOURCE OF SCREW-UP ON A GLOBAL BASIS.

 

Spotted by Vygotsky, it has been left UNADDRESSED as far as the globally popular and globally DOMINANT system of THINKING, SPEAKING and ACTING is concerned.

 

Indigenous aboriginals (traditionalists) HAVE NEVER FALLEN INTO THIS TRAP of buying into this DEFICIENT LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME.

 

 

The ERROR comes from the FACT that we live in a WAVE-FIELD WORLD which requires us to have a WAVE-FIELD-CAPABLE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME which MATCHES, more or less, OUR SENSE EXPERIENCE.   Indigenous aboriginals, as Modern Physics (Bohm and Schroedinger) have shown, and Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta (Schroedinger) has shown, DO NOT SUFFER, as WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS DO, from using a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that DROPS OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE that must be together (in conjugate relation) WITH THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE in order to communicate in a manner that captures the WAVE-FIELD STRUCTURE of our sense-experience reality.

 

THOSE PEOPLE ARE OK WHO ARE USING FLOW-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING such as “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX.  OTHERS, like WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, ARE “NOT OK” BECAUSE THEY (WE) ARE USING MATERIAL BEING based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING such as “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods” which constitutes BEING based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION THAT IS NOTIONALLY SITUATED WITHIN AN EMPTY SPACE (note that the EMPTY SPACE is implied by the ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING PROPOSITION).

 

NOW THIS OBSERVATION; i.e. “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods”,  IS CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.  WHILE THE FIRST VERSION OF LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SUPPORTS THE UNDERSTANDING THAT “EVERYTHING IS IN TRANSFORMATIVE FLUX” as implied by “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” WHICH IS AFFIRMED BY OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE OF LIVING WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM”, … THE SECOND VERSION OF LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING (“THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods” … “IS 100% POSITIVE MALE ASSERTING LOGICAL PROPOSITION” which we know from Goedel’s Theorem is always INCOMPLETE!”   WAVE FIELD PHENOMENA HAVE AN ANDROGYNOUS (CONJUGATE PEAK AND TROUGH) STRUCTURE which IS CAPTURED in the FLOW based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”, BUT WHICH IS NOT CAPTURED in the MATERIAL OBJECT BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods” (where we speak of “THE TOWN” as a LOCAL, EXPLICIT THING-IN-ITSELF).  Here, we are implying that that there is a MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING UNIT (THE TOWN) with the (GRAMMAR-GIVEN) POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING OF ITS OWN GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION of things).

 

SO, IN THIS SECOND VERSION OF LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION, WHICH IS STANDARD FOR WESTERN CULTURE, OUR WORDS, which are in the form of a one-sided MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING PROPOSITION,… GIVE THE IMPRESSION OF LOCAL AUTHORING POWER thanks to WHAT NIETZSCHE CALLS “THE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR” as in the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods”.   THIS IS 100% MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING  (as if this is occurring in absolute empty space and there is NO FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE) … and thus it has the exposure cited by Goedel’s Theorem; i.e. THE INCOMPLETENESS OF ALL FINITE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS.

 

NOTA BENE: INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING IS VERB-BASED WHERE EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX AND THIS AVOIDS DEPENDENCE ON “MATERIAL BEING”; e.g. the indigenous aboriginal speaks in such terms as ‘DANCES WITH WOLVES’ instead of speaking in terms of PERSISTENT BEING as with ‘Lieutenant John Dunbar’, and this makes a FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE AS WE CAN SEE FROM THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” and “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods”.   In the former, EVERYTHING IS IN TRANSFORMATIVE FLUX, while in the latter, THE ACTION IS LOCALLY AUTHORED ACTION AS IMPLIED BY the ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING PROPOSITION which is 100% MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING, thus this PROPOSITION ITSELF INVOKES THE IMPUTING OF ITS CONTAINMENT WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.

 

NOTA BENE:  THIS SECOND VERSION EMPLOYS ONLY THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING POSITIVE PROPOSITION AND DROPS OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE THAT IS NECESSARY IN CONVEYING FLOW-BASED DYNAMICS SUCH AS TRANSFORMATION.  THIS DROP OUT, WHICH IS STANDARD IN WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, MEANS THAT WHAT WE ARE CONVEYING IS NOT THE REALITY OF OUR SENSE EXPERIENCE WHEREIN EVERYTHING IS INFLUX, as in CHIEF SEATTLE’S STRAND IN THE WEB STATEMENT THAT CAPTURES THE SAME UNDERSTANDING OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE WORLD OF OUR SENSE EXPERIENCE AS IN MODERN PHYSICS WHERE WE HAVE THE COMBINATION OF THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM WHICH IS LOCALLY POPULATED WITH CONDENSATIONS, which ‘comes with’ a NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM relationship; an example of which is the STRAND-IN-THE-WEB where the STRAND is BOTH its individual self AND the WEB in which it is included, giving the “APPEARANCE” OF INDEPENDENCE of the STRAND while the physical REALITY is INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE.

 

“Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.” (Chief Seattle)

 

“Space is not empty.  It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.” (David Bohm)

 

Thus, we ‘HUMANINGS as CONDENSATIONS OF AND IN THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM’ have the APPEARANCE of being INDEPENDENT but we are in reality, as with STRANDS IN A WEB, INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT.  The SAME for CONDENSATIONS of, and in, the ALL-INCLUDING PLENUM.

 

This situation gives rise to RESTORATIVE JUSTICE since the STRAND in the WEB is NOT the AUTHOR of VIOLENCE that impacts the WEB, but the CONDUIT through which TENSIONS IN THE WEB ‘MANIFEST’ and the PROBLEM that requires resolving is relational dissonance which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT while the MANIFESTATION is LOCAL and EXPLICIT by way of TENSIONS VENTING through LOCAL and EXPLICIT ACTIONS of a STRAND.  The STRAND is NOT THE LOCAL AUTHOR of the VIOLENCE, THERE ARE NO LOCAL AUTHORS IN “THE STRAND IN THE WEB DYNAMIC” = “the CONDENSATION in the PLENUM DYNAMIC”, …there is only TRANSFORMATION which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT.

WESTERN CULTURE JUSTICE IS PURIFICATIONIST AND ORIENTING TO THE IDENTIFICATION AND ELIMINATION OF THE (PERCEIVED) LOCAL AUTHOR OF VIOLENT ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS.  BUT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ‘LOCAL AUTHORING’ of ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS.  SUCH A NOTION IS ABSTRACTION CREATED BY THE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR.  The ELIMINATING is therefore a SCAPEGOATING of the IDENTIFIED PATIENT (A SCAPEGOATING of the perceived LOCAL AUTHORS of VIOLENT ACTIONS who are in reality NOTHING OTHER THAN VENTS for DRAINING THE BUILDUP of LOCAL TENSIONS).

The CONTINUING PROGRAMS OF SCAPEGOATING OF THE IDENTIFIED PATIENT HAVE THE EFFECT OF PROGRESSIVELY REMOVING THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING INFLUENCE SO THAT THE BALANCE in the community shifts from LIBERAL to CONSERVATIVE (from being informed by the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT to being informed by the LOCAL and EXPLICIT).
