WESTERN CULTURE PSYCHO-FRAGMENTATION ALERT.
0PREFACE: This note briefly reviews the proposition of PSYCHOLOGICAL FRAGMENTATION that is endemic in WESTERN CULTURE, as has been been pointed out by Bohm, Nietzsche and others.
FRAGMENTATION is well-described by the aphorism; “THE PATH TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS”
The well-intentioned leaders of WESTERN CULTURE DEMOCRACIES “have their ladder up the wrong wall” through belief in a SUBSTITUTE REALITY where the abstraction of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and developments is SUBSTITUTED for REALITY. LOCAL AUTHORING is the source of FRAGMENTATION that is the source of SCHIZOPHRENIA in the WESTERN CULTURE social collective.
We (WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS) are heading into a STORM of PSYCHOLOGICAL FRAGMENTATION that is manifesting as SOCIAL FRAGMENTATION which derives from our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE and GRAMMAR ARCHITECTURE. What we see as CONTINUING PROGRESS and ADVANCEMENT of our SOCIETY is misleading APPEARANCE since these advances, which favour “US HUMANS” are “AT THE EXPENSE” of “other participants” in our complex interdependent world dynamic.
As HUMANS, we are continuing to cultivate SUBOPTIMIZATION which improves conditions for HUMANS out of the context of ‘the rest of ‘creation’. If we truly are INDEPENDENT BEINGS as our WESTERN CULTURE language and grammar presents us to ourselves, then SUBOPTIMIZATION to improve our HUMAN situation regardless of the ‘rest’ “makes sense”. BUT IF REALITY is something very different; i.e. IF ALL FORMS INCLUDING HUMAN FORMS ARE INCLUDED IN THE ONE DEVELOPMENT aka the WAVE-FIELD aka the TAO, as is the finding of Modern Physics, indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, then we are INTERDEPENDENT and attempts at SUBOPTIMIZATION of HUMANS, FALSELY SEEN as an INDEPENDENT RACE, is DESTRUCTIVE to the health of the interdependent ALL-INCLUDING UNUUM.
This WESTERN CULTURE (language and grammar based) belief in HUMAN INDEPENDENCE (thanks to the influence of BINARY LOGIC) has been leading to SUBOPTIMIZATION that improves living conditions for the deemed-independent HUMAN species, at the expense of deterioration of conditions for NON-HUMAN participants.
MODERN PHYSICS is suggesting that OUR WESTERN CULTURE penchant for SUBOPTIMIZING conditions for HUMANS-AS-IF-HUMANS-WERE-AN-INDEPENDENT-‘SPECIES’ is the source of conflict and damage to our actual INTER-DEPENDENT SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY.
This understanding of the WHOLENESS of reality as in the WAVE-FIELD and the TAO as reaffirmed by MODERN PHYSICS is the understanding of reality embraced by indigenous aboriginal cultures who ‘warned’ us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS of our ERROR in assuming the INDEPENDENCE of the abstractions we create with the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR which impresses our PSYCHE with a BINARY LOGIC based notion of SEPARATION of HUMAN INHABITANT from the HABITAT.
This BINARY LOGIC based ABSTRACT FRAGMENTATION has induced warnings from indigenous aboriginals who share inclusion in this ONE COMMON LIVING SPACE aka the WAVE-FIELD aka the Tao;
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”
YES, our WESTERN CULTURE sense of “OUR” HUMAN AUTHORED ACCOMPLISHMENTS SUPPORTS EGO-INFLATION, along with the sense that WE DID IT, as if WE have the powers of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and developments (the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR). OUR corresponding systems of REWARDS and RECOGNITION serve to perpetuate belief in the FALSE notion of DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR based AUTHORING of actions and developments, have secured a LOCK-IN by HIGH SWITCHING COSTS to this ERRONEOUS belief in LOCAL AUTHORING and the EGO inflation that comes with it.
Our modern cities with their SKY-SCRAPERS are truly impressive but the GROWTH of a CITY is just an intellectual SNAPSHOT of a LOCAL DEVELOPMENT when our sense-experience reality is telling us that there is NO SUCH THING AS A LOCAL DEVELOPMENT in the transforming relational continuum we share inclusion in; i.e. the “WEB OF LIFE THAT MAN IS AN INCLUDED STRAND IN”. The WHOLENESS and the IMPLICIT ORDER that Bohm speaks of reaffirms the indigenous aboriginal understanding of sense-experience reality, and puts us AT ODDS with the NAMING and GRAMMAR based SUBSTITUTE REALITY we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have CREATED.
We have popularized the use of BINARY LOGIC to split apart FIGURE from GROUND into TWO, inventing GRAMMAR so as to re-mobilize the now INDEPENDENT FIGURE within a notional ABSOLUTE EMPTY EUCLIDEAN SPACE OF INFINITE EXTENT.
GOODBYE “QUANTUM LOGIC” wherein FIGURE-and-GROUND-are only ONE, … HELLO WESTERN CULTURE BINARY LOGIC wherein FIGURE-and-GROUND-are-TWO.
What now hold this ABSTRACT and FRAGMENTATION inducing SUBSTITUTE REALITY ‘IN PLACE” is “EGO”, the popular WESTERN CULTURE belief in LOCAL AUTHORING. This EGO that swells the head and associates with MALE ASSERTIVE ACTION AND DEVELOPMENT is displacing INSPIRATION that FILLS the HEART in associated with the aesthetics of TRANSFORMATION. The single-minded intellectual focus on DEVELOPMENT is unable to accommodate, at the same time, the sense-experience informed INTUITION of inclusion in TRANSFORMATION, yet the former (DEVELOPMENT) is only an abstract ratio-based, effable SUBSTITUTE REALITY while the latter is ineffable sense-experience reality of inclusion in the transforming relational continuum. While DEVELOPMENTS can be conceived of in a LOCAL, EXPLICIT PIECEMEAL (FRAGMENTED) fashion that is amenable to language-based articulation, TRANSFORMATION, while it is the REAL REALITY affirmed by our sense experience, is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) and thus INEFFABLE so that we can only use INFERENCE and INTUITION to treat of it by way of intellectual discourse.
The EXPEDIENT that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have chosen has been to employ FRAGMENTATION as the basis for language capture, … NOT OF REALITY, … BUT of a SUBSTITUTE REALITY based on FRAGMENTS, GROWTH, MOTION and PRODUCTION that is shareable with BINARY LOGIC based constructions.
So, as stated, this note briefly reviews the proposition of PSYCHOLOGICAL FRAGMENTATION that is endemic in WESTERN CULTURE since FRAGMENTATION plays THE FOUNDATIONAL ROLE in WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE as has been been pointed out by Bohm, Nietzsche and others.
And YES, this FRAGMENTATION that is given a foundational role in WESTERN CULTURE CAE language architecture is a CRAZY-MAKER that BLINDS US to the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE by having us concentrate our focus on the LOCAL and EXPLICIT as in the abstractions of LOCAL GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION, all ABSTRACTIONS that merely APPEAR REAL in our DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR based SUBSTITUTE REALITY.
* * * END OF PREFACE * * *
My interest in this topic or how we perceive reality is not casual or philosophical as much as it is emotional, so while my engaging with you is philosophical, and I do believe that philosophical understanding can possibly transform the emotional, I believe that is a work in progress’. The huge focus of my time on these topics is driven by emotions. Yet because of my emotional drive, I do not want to give my philosophical and spiritual aspects short shrift because I do believe that everything must be ‘in balance’ for true understanding to be awakened.
That being said, I feel as if my researches are stimulated by the same sense as Bohm’s and Nietzsche’s appear to be, by the sense that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are undergoing psychological FRAGMENTATION coming from our WESTERN CULTURE belief system which is BINARY LOGIC based.
The concept of getting in touch with and informed by CHOICELESS AWARENESS makes sense to me, in a particular way, which is that we all share inclusion in the transforming relational continuum aka the WAVE-FIELD aka the Tao.
I see this as affirmed by Modern physics, as I believe, Bohm and Peat and Nietzsche also did, in the following sense;
-1- BINARY LOGIC IS ABSTRACTION THAT IS A CRAZY MAKER. FIGURE and GROUND are NOT TWO, FIGURE and GROUND ARE ONE.
-2- QUANTUM LOGIC ‘makes sense’ as where we understand FIGURE-and-GROUND as ONE as in the case of matter being a condensation of the electromagnetic field
-3- WESTERN JUSTICE and WESTERN MEDICINE are crazy-makers because they are based on the UNREAL ABSTRACTION of BINARY LOGIC, the EITHER/OR logic of the EXCLUDED medium, and the associated BINARY LOGIC notions of EITHER GOOD OR BAD as describe LOCAL and EXPLICIT EVENTS. EG. THE TOWN IS GROWING LARGER AND MORE POPULOUS AND PRODUCTIVE.
-4- EASTERN JUSTICE and EASTERN MEDICINE are based on QUANTUM LOGIC or the BOTH/AND logic of INCLUDED medium, and of BOTH GOOD and BAD as in the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT. EG. “IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE THERE IS TOWNING”. The relation between TOWNING and LANDSCAPE is QUANTUM LOGIC, the BOTH/AND logic of the INCLUDED medium where the TOWNING is an APPEARANCE based aspect within the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE. THAT IT: the whole story is THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE and the TOWNING is a FEATURE WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING and is not anything separate and does not have any ‘powers of authorship’ as WESTERN CULTURE language and grammar habitually portrays it.
