How the “WEST” (but not the EAST) REPLACES the Ineffable with the Effable
0RESONANCE is a NONLOCAL phenomenon (e.g. the hurricane) that we REDUCE to LOCAL with the DOUBLE ERROR of language and grammar. That’s just for sharing ‘rough copy’. REALITY is nevertheless RESONANCE based and thus innately NONLOCAL
* * *
We are included in the Great Harmony aka the Tao aka the Wave-field and it is ineffable; i.e. if we remain silent and without language, we can understand the Tao through relational experience, … but if we want to use language to give representation to the Tao, we must deal with the fact that words capture fluid forms as persisting things-in-themselves; e.g. hurricane Katrina. This name ‘stays the same’ but the form it refers to is a NONLOCAL, RESONANCE based formING that is continually transforming as is everything in the Great Harmony aka the Tao aka the Wave-field.
In other words, every form is a relational dynamic as is easy to understand in the case of hurricane Katrina (as a stirring in the vastness of the transforming relational continuum aka ‘universe’), and it is our natural understanding as natural forms that are NOT using language and grammar to reduce the transforming relational continuum we and all forms are included in.
However, in the array of differing forms in the flow we distinguish ourselves, and based on persisting form and movements and because we have language and grammar, we associate the word ‘human’ with this characteristic form, and by this NAMING, we can split out a distinctive type of form and also a particular form to reference using spoken language. Language also has GRAMMAR so that not only can we use NAMING to split out a form as if it were a LOCAL independently-existing thing-in-itself, we can use GRAMMAR to impute to it, its own powers of SOURCING actions and developments.
In the case of the hurricaning or the boiling in the flowing streaming, by fixing a LOCAL identity on the NONLOCAL relational boiling or hurricaning, we can shift the SOURCING agency from NONLOCAL to LOCAL, which essentially ‘gets by’ the INEFFABLE nature of the NONLOCAL (which goes on without end as in the cycles of relational transformation). That is, this language and grammar-based reduction of the NONLOCAL to the LOCAL renders the ineffable (in this reduced-to-LOCAL form) effable.
Our LOCAL, effable language based reduced representations open the way to SHARING an informative semblance of our observations and experiences of inclusion in the transforming relational continuum, albeit in reduced form which can only INFER the ineffable-because-fluid reality that we can’t capture directly because we (being an inclusion in it) and ‘it’, are in continual flux.
While some humanings (EASTERN, modern physics) employ the reductive representations of language as INFERENCE TO STIMULATE INTUITIVE INSIGHT of the ineffable transforming relational continuum, acknowledging that ‘The Tao that can be told is not the true Tao’, … other humanings (WESTERN) employ the reductive representations of language and grammar as DIRECT AND EXPLICIT REPRESENTATIONS OF ‘PHYSICAL REALITY’.
The modern world, in so far as social relational organization (government, industry and other reason-based social dynamics) are concerned, are currently following the WESTERN practice of regarding the reductive representations of language and grammar as DIRECT AND EXPLICIT REPRESENTATIONS OF PHYSICAL REALITY. THIS IS PROBLEMATIC; I.E. IT IS THE SOURCE OF SOCIAL DYSFUNCTION.
