OBSCURANTISM: The practice of deliberately preventing the facts or full details of something from becoming known.

 

SYNOPSIS:  BINARY LOGIC is playing a CAT-and-MOUSE game with QUANTUM LOGIC in our language-stimulated understanding of reality.  If BINARY LOGIC gets into our mind FIRST, it LOCKS OUT QUANTUM LOGIC yet QUANTUM LOGIC is LESS SIMPLE and thus able to bring deeper understandings.  The words “on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN’ in the Christian Lord’s Prayer presupposes a BINARY LOGICAL structure to reality, and EASTER celebrates the existence of this BINARY LOGIC based PAIR which is the very definition of mathematical MUTUAL EXCLUSION.  In the indigenous aboriginal culture, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, we have a QUANTUM LOGIC structure to reality wherein as suggested by the Yin/Yang symbolism where the Material aspect and the Spiritual aspect are NOT mutually exclusive but are related like MATTER and WAVE-FIELD where MATTER is CONDENSATION of the WAVE-FIELD.  This relational defines QUANTUM LOGIC, the BOTH/AND logic of the INCLUDING medium (i.e. the WAVE-FIELD includes the condensations that present as MATERIAL forms in the manner that the spirally WHORLS in river flow, while they seem to be ‘their own thing’ as if separate and independent of the flow, as in fact condensations of the flow as defines the QUANTUM LOGIC relation.

The LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURES of “EAST” and ‘WEST’ differ in that the former employs a QUANTUM LOGIC foundation while the latter employs a BINARY LOGIC foundation.  It is IMPORTANT to note that the BINARY LOGIC language architecture is SIMPLER than the QUANTUM LOGIC language architecture in the respect that BINARY LOGIC portrays FIGURE and GROUND as TWO separate ONTOLOGICAL entities, QUANTUM LOGIC portrays FIGURE and GROUND as ONE FLUID DYNAMIC.  In the EAST’s QUANTUM LOGIC structure we have BOTH female AND male aspects within a conjugate unity, so that QUANTUM LOGIC language architecture can speak of “TOWNING-IN-THE-TRANSFORMING-LANDSCAPE” which is an ANDROGYNOUS (female and male as ONE) conjugate dynamic.  In the WEST’S BINARY LOGIC structure, we have only to concern ourselves with MALE ASSERTIVE aspect; i.e. with THE TOWN  and its GRAMMAR given MALE ASSERTIVE powers of GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION.

The difference wherein the EAST’s QUANTUM LOGIC is LESS SIMPLE than the WEST’s BINARY LOGIC shows up in our LANGUAGE based REALITY REPRESENTATIONS.  For example, the WEST’s BINARY LOGIC based language presumes that FIGURE and GROUND are TWO SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT ENTITIES, (e.g. where the TOWN) is INDEPENDENT of the landscape it is included within) which we ‘arrange’ by IMAGINING via our LANGUAGE CONSTRUCTS that the TOWN sits within an ABSTRACT EMPTY SPACE OF INFINITE EXTENT.  The EAST’s QUANTUM LOGIC based language, on the other hand, presumes that FIGURE and GROUND are ONE where the language capture of this is in terms equivalent to THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE, keeping TOWNING and TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE together as ONE.  The QUANTUM LOGIC relation between the TOWNING and TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE is thus one of MUTUAL INCLUSION based on BALANCE, the dynamic form of which is RESONANCE as reaffirms the WAVE-FIELD nature of reality. Thus the EAST and WEST language-based ‘realities’ differ on the basis of their respective QUANTUM LOGIC and BINARY LOGIC foundations, the former being LESS SIMPLE than the latter in the sense that the relation between the WAVE-FIELD and its CONDENSATIONS is LESS SIMPLE than the relation between EMPTY SPACE and MATERIAL EXISTENCE.

While EASTERN CULTURE language architectures preserve the LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC relation, WESTERN CULTURE language architectures employ the SIMPLER BINARY LOGIC relation.  The shift from QUANTUM LOGIC to BINARY LOGIC constitutes “OBSCURANTISM”

 

OBSCURANTISM is achieved when  the understanding conveyed is reduced from;

 

(A)  the less simple FEMALE-MALE CONJUGATE architectural foundation to;

 

(B) the simple MALE-ASSERTIVE architectural foundation.

 

EXAMPLE: OBSCURANTISM is achieved by the reduction from;

 

(A) There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE to,

 

(B) The TOWN that is GROWING, DEVELOPING, PRODUCING within a notional ABSOLUTE, EMPTY, INFINITE SPACE.

 

NOTE: (B) constitutes a SIMPLIFYING MALE-ASSERTIVE SUBSTITUTE for the FEMALE-MALE CONJUGATE WAVE-FIELD.  This common WESTERN CULTURE SIMPLIFIED LANGUAGE  based representation brings out a loss of expressive capability that suggests the term, DEA ABSCONDITA.  This term points to the fact that the FEMALE CONJUGATE which is the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE (nonlocal, implicit relational continuum aka ‘wave-field’) and thus THE WHOLE ALL-INCLUDING FIELD, is DROPPED from the representation leaving only the ORPHANED MALE-ASSERTING AGENT TO ‘POSE’ as the LOCAL AUTHOR of the manifest actions and developments.   The DROPPING OUT of the PRIMARY AUTHORING AGENCY, the FEMALE CONJUGATE which, in the example, is the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE, the ALL-INCLUDING WAVE-FIELD, WHICH “INCLUDES” the “TOWNING”, explains the choice of “DEA ABSCONDITA”.  NOTIONALLY ENDOWING THE TOWN “ON ITS OWN” with POWERS of LOCAL AUTHORING of ACTIONS INCLUDING GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION of goods and services, stems from MALE EGO and is achieved through the LOCAL AUTHOR abstraction created with the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR as Nietzsche points out.

There seems to be a fortuitous (?) synchronicity to my being at the point of summarizing a major problem in our LANGUAGE, as Bohm and Nietzsche have identified, the problem of FRAGMENTATION and the associated confusion of OBSCURANTISM which is where we reduce the LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC to SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC.  The OBSCURANTISM comes into play as we employ “BINARY LOGIC” in our language based representations where the phenomena of NATURE demands a QUANTUM LOGIC representation.  For example, where the indigenous aboriginal languages say ‘THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’, our Common Average European language architectures SIMPLIFY this by DIFFERENTIATING OUT ‘the TOWNING’, making it over into a LOCAL, EXPLICIT THING-IN-ITSELF by the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR, as Nietzsche refers to it.  What this does is to SIDESTEP the innate interdependent inclusion of the TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE, by abstractly using NAMING to impute LOCAL BEING and conflating this FIRST ERROR with the SECOND ERROR of GRAMMAR which we use to impute LOCAL AUTHORING POWER to the NAMING-instantiated LOCAL BEING.

 

THIS DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR IS THE BIRTH OF BINARY LOGIC IN WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE.

 

THERE IS NONE OF THIS BINARY LOGIC SPLITTING APART OF FIGURE AND GROUND IN OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE AND WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS NOW KNOW WHY FROM MODERN PHYSICS WHICH HAS SIMPLY REMINDED US OF THE QUANTUM LOGIC STRUCTURE OF REALITY WHEREIN THE MATERIAL FORMS ARE CONDENSATIONS OF THE ALL-INCLUDING (electromagnetic) WAVE-FIELD. WHCH ANSWERS THE AGE-OLD QUESTION OF ‘THE TWO AND THE ONE’ (see anthropologist Mircea Eliade’s ‘Mephistopheles et l’Androgyne’, Engish title ‘the TWO and the ONE’).  That is, there has been division in understanding over whether MATERIAL FORMS MOVE THROUGH THE ‘ETHER’ or whether the ETHER has LUMPS IN IT (now we know that SPACE is the WAVE-FIELD while MATERIAL FORMS are CONDENSATIONS OF THE WAVE-FIELD, a reality that means that QUANTUM LOGIC is the basic LOGIC OF THE WORLD WE LIVE IN.

 

QUANTUM LOGIC is the BOTH/AND logic of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which is just restating the fact that MATTER is a CONDENSATION of the ALL-PERVADING ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.  That is, ‘matter’ is a concentration of field strength within the field which makes that intense lump of field visible and tangible.  And because the WAVE-FIELD is in flux the patterns where the intensity is higher (which we recognize as material objects) can change and move without there ever being any persisting ‘material body’ involved.  This is why the world has been described by some as a holographic universe because a hologram has this same property where we can physically distinguish between content and container but rather than this being due to MATTER and EMPTY SPACE, it is due to CONDENSATIONS OF FIELD WITHIN FIELD.

 

RIGHT HERE WE HAVE THE ISSUE OF HOW QUANTUM LOGIC where FIGURE and GROUND (matter and space) ARE ONE rather than as BINARY LOGIC would have it, FIGURE and GROUND (matter and space) are TWO, an issue which divides the indigenous aboriginal culture from the “WESTERN EUROPEAN” cultures and which is captured in the respective language architectures.
