This PSI-SE (‘Spicy’) ‘Special Edition’ (#18)  is in memory of feisty Martine Dodds-Taljaard, Stellenbosch University Systems Scientist and Apparition who recycled within the transforming relational continuum on June 4th, 2001.  See also; https://www.goodshare.org/taljaard.htm ‘Politically Incorrect Humanism’: The Work of  Martine Dodds-Taljaard.

 

 

Brief Summary of PSI-SE Philosophical Research Findings  (Wordcount 236)

 

 

  1. Incoherence (formulating one’s actions based on an erroneous understanding of ‘reality’) pervades the Western social dynamic.

 

  1. Incoherence starts from Western language-based intellection that delivers abstractions which conflict with relational experience.

 

  1. The Western practice of putting intellection into an unnatural primacy over relational experience sources social dysfunction.

 

  1. Indigenous aboriginal culture, Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta support the natural primacy of relational experience over abstraction.

 

  1. Western intellectually constructed “_reality_“ errs in the linguistic-cognitive imputing of reality to ‘beings’, ‘authors’ and ‘acts’.

 

  1. The reality of our natural experience is of inclusion in a transforming relational continuum without ‘beings’, ‘authors’ and ‘acts’.

 

  1. ‘Beings’, ‘authors’ and ‘acts’ are abstractions of ‘appearances’ aka ‘apparitions’ that are relational experience based.

 

  1. Language and grammar are used to construct cognitive “realities” based on name-reified ‘apparitions’ [humans, hurricanes etc.]

 

  1. When behaviour is informed and shaped by such abstract reality constructions, the result is incoherence in the social dynamic.

 

  1. The reality of indigenous aboriginal cultures, Buddhism, Advaita Vedanta and modern physics is ‘apparition’, NOT ‘being’ based.

 

  1.  Modern physics affirms the physical reality of ‘apparitions’ (relational forms in the transforming relational continuum).

 

  1. A whorl in the flow (hurricane), a human, a material form, are ‘apparitions’ (field flow-forms) that have no independent material existence.  Language based ‘naming’ of such ‘apparitions’ imputes ‘thing-in-itself being’ to the ‘apparitions’, literal belief in which is the source of ‘incoherence’ in the relational social dynamic.
