We are playing a game.  We are playing at not playing a game.  If we show ourselves we see we are, we shall break the rules and we will punish ourselves  We must play our game, of not seeing we see the game.”  — after R. D. Laing (Knots)

 

 

“OBSCURANTISM”, “The practice of preventing the facts or full details of something from becoming known.”

 

OBSCURANTISM is a game that WE HAVE BUILT INTO WESTERN CULTURE, INTO OUR LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE by way of the DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR with its LOCAL AUTHORING ILLUSION.  The LOCAL AUTHORING is the basis of a SUBSTITUTE REALITY based on BINARY LOGIC which is SIMPLER than our QUANTUM LOGIC  SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY.

 

There is OBSCURANTISM in reducing the QUANTUM LOGIC REPRESENTATION “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” to the BINARY LOGIC REPRESENTATION. “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCTING goods and services”, … for once we LATCH ON to thinking in the SIMPLIFIED BINARY LOGIC terms of LOCAL AUTHORING, the LESS SIMPLE understanding in QUANTUM LOGIC terms is OBSCURED.  Instead of the QUANTUM LOGIC “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” which captures the ANDROGYNOUS WAVE-FIELD “CONTENTS-AND-CONTAINER-ARE-ONE” reality, the INJECTING of the SIMPLIFYING BINARY LOGIC NAMING and GRAMMAR FRAGMENTATION into “the TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING products and services” OBSCURES the LESS SIMPLE “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”.

 

This OBSCURANTISM which injects a SIMPLER BINARY LOGIC “SUBSTITUTE REALITY” in place of the LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC sense-experience-affirmed REALITY PERVADES WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE-BASED REPRESENTATIONS and as David Bohm has pointed out, is the source of much FRAGMENTATION and DYSFUNCTION in our WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL DYNAMIC.

 

OBSCURANTIST LANGUAGE CONSTRUCTS SUCH AS RUSSIA ATTACKS UKRAINE …. psychologically break out RUSSIA and UKRAINE like two ISLANDS in the OCEAN, OBSCURING the reality that the profiles of these TWO ISLANDS can be followed down their respective flanks, down below the water’s surface, down into the depths to the ocean floor to the CONTINUOUS surface of the SPHERE of the earth, informing us that the TWO are in fact only ONE, that FIGURE and GROUND are only ONE as is a STATEMENT of QUANTUM LOGIC, which, in our WESTERN CULTURE PENCHANT FOR BINARY LOGIC BASED LANGUAGE CONSTRUCTIONS is OBSCURED.  BINARY LOGIC obscures QUANTUM LOGIC which is LESS SIMPLE and cannot be conveyed by BINARY LOGIC.
