“I am afraid we are not rid of God because we continue to believe in grammar” — Nietzsche

This proposition can be understood in the context of the common Western culture ‘double error’ of grammar pointed out by Nietzsche, wherein we use language to (1)”name’ a relational form in the flow and thus impute persisting ‘thing-in-itself’ existence to the named form (in spite of its purely relational essence as with a ‘boil’, ‘whorl’, hurricane etc.), and (2) notionally endowing the naming-instantiated thing-in-itself with powers of sourcing actions and developments.

THE DOUBLE ERROR:

“Our judgement has us conclude that every change must have an author”;–but this conclusion is already mythology: it separates that which effects from the effecting. If I say “lightning flashes,” I have posited the flash once as an activity and a second time as a subject, and thus added to the event a being that is not one with the event but is rather fixed, “is” and does not “become.”–To regard an event as an “effecting,” and this as being, that is the double error, or interpretation, of which we are guilty.” – Nietzsche, ‘Will to Power’, 531

This ‘double error’ has become so ubiquitous in Western culture intellectual representations that it ‘infects’ the foundations of our understanding.  We speak in terms of ‘climate change’ (a double error) and we speak in terms of ‘product production’ (a double error) which confuses our understanding of ‘reality’ by imparting psychological impressions of independently-existing things-in-themselves (‘climate’, ‘production’) with powers of sourcing actions and developments (‘climate-changes’, ‘products’). That is, our experience of inclusion in relational transformation in reduced, by way of the language and grammar based ‘double error’, to visual representation that appears, ‘in our mind’s eye’, to be ‘out there in front of us’.  ‘Reality’ is not ‘picturable’, … it is our relational experiencing of inclusion in the transforming relational continuum.  The double error is a language-and-grammar based intellectual device to reduce our experience to flat-screen voyeur visualization.

That is, the grammar-based ‘double error’ triggers in the mind, the impression of a ‘local being’ with powers of sourcing actions and development.  The abstract notion of locally incipient sourcing of actions and developments has, in Western culture, been alternatively attributed to ‘sorcery’ (magic) and to ‘God’.  In either case, the understanding of the world of modern physics, indigenous aboriginal, Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta, in terms of a transforming relational continuum is PSYCHOLOGICALLY ECLIPSED AND OCCLUDED by this grammatical ‘double error’ based ‘sorcery’ wherein ‘being’ is first pushed underneath an unfolding relational development and given the notional power of sourcing the action and development.

“In its origin language belongs in the age of the most rudimentary form of psychology. We enter a realm of crude fetishism when we summon before consciousness the basic presuppositions of the metaphysics of language, in plain talk, the presuppositions of reason. Everywhere it sees a doer and doing; it believes in will as the cause; it believes in the ego, in the ego as being, in the ego as substance, and it projects this faith in the ego-substance upon all things — only thereby does it first create the concept of “thing.” Everywhere “being” is projected by thought, pushed underneath, as the cause; the concept of being follows, and is a derivative of, the concept of ego. In the beginning there is that great calamity of an error that the will is something which is effective, that will is a faculty. Today we know that it is only a word.” – Nietzsche, ‘Twilight of the Idols’

From this language and grammar ‘double error’ comes, ‘sorcery’ which, in modern Western culture has been ‘sugar-coated’ and euphemized as ‘production’.

There is no such thing as ‘production’ in the real relational world of our actual experience [it IS ANOTHER WORD FOR the ‘double error’], … the concept of ‘production’ is a linguistic-intellectual abstraction that has no place in the transformational reality of our actual relational experience.  To speak of ‘production’ is to speak in the medieval terms of ‘sorcery’.  ‘RELATIONAL TRANSFORMATION IS ALL THERE IS’.

Western culture’s economically motivated focus on the intellectual language and-grammar abstraction of ‘production’ (aka ‘sorcery’) blocks Western culture adherents from tuning in to their physical-experiential sensing of the ‘real’ reality of continuing relational ‘transformation’ in which they/we/all are situationally included.

The Western culture drive to ‘produce’ is intellectual abstraction exemplary of aberrant thinking in terms of ‘double error’ (Nietzsche).  The ‘double error’ is where one employs language and grammar to (1) use ‘naming’ to psychologically imply the ‘reality’ of an independently-existing thing-in-itself, and (2) conflating this first abstraction with a second grammar-based abstraction that notionally endows the name-instantiated ‘thing-in-itself’ with powers of ‘sourcing’ actions and developments

“PRODUCTION” aka “SORCERY” is a ‘double error’.  THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS ‘PRODUCTION’ IN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM OF OUR ACTUAL EXPERIENCE.
