PREFACE: Our WESTERN CULTURE makes much use of the abstract language based concepts of LOCAL SOURCING as in GROWTH and PRODUCTION which effectively SUBSTITUTE for the physically real relational TRANSFORMATION which is meanwhile NONLOCAL and therefore INEFFABLE.   The utility of having a spoken language is so great that SUBSTITUTING  NAMING-instantiated LOCAL thing-in-itself BEING along with GRAMMAR instantiated power of SOURCING actions and developments is a small DOUBLE ERROR price to pay for putting at our disposal a means for sharing a crude but EFFABLE-because-LOCAL allusion to our INEFFABLE-because-NONLOCAL sensory experience of inclusion in the Wave-field aka the Tao.

WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, while we benefit from our employing of the language and grammar tool that lets us construct a SURROGATE reality with its abstractions of GROWTH and PRODUCTION, experience a negative backlash through our banishment of the real world dynamic on NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION.  We praise and reward on the basis of belief in the abstraction of perceived LOCALLY SOURCED GROWTH and PRODUCTION of desirable actions and developments and critique and punish undesirable actions and developments.  What’s in common is the BELIEF in the LOCAL SOURCING of GROWTH and PRODUCTION, a belief that holds us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS in its sway, but whiich in modern physics as in EASTERN CULTURES, understood as language and grammar stimulated abstraction invented for the purpose of stimulating an INTUITIVE LEAP to the INEFFABLE-because-NONLOCAL.

(Expanded Preface)

The EAST and modern physics understands reality in terms of an all-including Wave-field whose forms are in a FIGURE-and-GROUND-as-ONE relation, as in the Tai-Chi (yin/yang) symbol.  Movement in this understanding of reality is NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION as distinguished from LOCAL GROWTH.

WHERE DOES THE CONCEPT OF LOCAL GROWTH come from; e.g. we say that the cultivated land (e.g. the area planted with wheat) is GROWING.   That gives us the impression of GROWTH of an area.  That is deemed to ‘make sense’ in WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENT thinking, but in modern physics and in the EAST, the SHRINKAGE of the Wilderness is reciprocal to the GROWTH, and overall, what is going on, always, in nature, is TRANSFORMATION which is neither GROWTH nor SHRINKAGE because both GROWTH and THINKAGE are based on DOUBLE ERROR thinking (Nietzsche) which we construct from NAMING (to impute LOCAL thing-in-itself being) and GRAMMAR (to impute the power of SOURCING actions and development to the naming-instantiated LOCAL thing-in-itself).

TRANSFORMATION is purely relational and NONLOCAL and something that our sensory experience informs us of our inclusion in.  So, as relational forms in Nature, we are under no obligation to invent a language to talk about this, but language based sharing of experience is very useful, even if language can only work by substituting LOCAL abstractions (since TRANSFORMATION is real and NONLOCAL, that which is “LOCAL” is not “REAL”) and animate them with GRAMMAR.   This substituting of a DOUBLE ERROR based pseudo-reality is very useful for ‘sharing’ crude effigies that are suggestive of the gathering and scattering relational forms in the NONLOCAL TRANSFORMING flow-continuum aka the Wave-field aka the Tao.
