UNDERSTANDING THE EAST-WEST PSYCHOLOGICAL SPLIT
0
INTRODUCTION:
Understanding the EAST-WEST PSYCHO-LINGUISTIC SPLIT requires reflection on how it is that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have architected LANGUAGE on a VOYEUR VIEWER BASIS where we SEE THE TOWN GROWING. It is this VOYEUR VIEW that has us using BINARY LOGIC based LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE. If we are understanding ourselves as INCLUDED IN THE WORLD, our LANGUAGE STRUCTURE shifts and we use non-voyeur lead-off terms like ‘THERE IS”. In the indigenous aboriginal language, ‘THERE IS” humaning and towning in the ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE. Sentences like this employ the QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM rather than BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC as in ‘the VOYEUR VIEW OF “THE TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods and services”.
When we use language that casts us as a VOYEUR of the world dynamic, we are PSYCHOLOGICALLY FRAGMENTING REALITY and TAKING OURSELVES OUT OF THE PLACE WE ARE OBSERVING. This gives us the sense that our own local actions are not tied up within the transforming relational continuum and thus have no bearing on what is happening OUT THERE. This is the FLAT-SPACE view where we dump our rubbish off the stern of the boat without imagining that we will be later ploughing into it ‘bow-first’. One might say that language can give us the impression of living in a FLAT SPACE rather than in a SPHERICAL SPACE because in a SPHERICAL SPACE we have the sense of GESTALT wherein ‘everything is related’ as in WAVE-FIELD reality.
What is happening in the UKRAINE and RUSSIA, as seen through WESTERN CULTURE CONDITIONED ‘EYES’ is not seen asdirectly impacting ‘what is going on LOCALLY’, but in a GESTALT sense, as is supported by MODERN PHYSICS, we live within an all-including transforming relational continuum wherein SUBOPTIMIZATION IS IMPOSSIBLE. Yet in WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENCY, SUBOPTIMIZATION is the PSYCHOLOGICALLY FRAGMENTING NORM wherein, because of the format of our LANGUAGE, it is POPULAR to actually BELIEVE that we can sub-optimize our own ‘NATION’ in spite of the GESTALT impression wherein ‘everything is related’ (mitakuye oyasin). The sense of FRAGMENTATION is coming from the psycho-linguistic dynamics such as DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE which are supported by WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE with its DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR.
To WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, NOT ONLY DO ‘DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE’ that seem to ‘make sense’ and to support what seems to be a REALITY articulated by DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR based ABSTRACTION, but are now ‘using that “REALITY”‘ as the WESTERN CULTURE POPULAR ‘OPERATIVE REALITY’, which is the source of GROWING FRAGMENTATION of WESTERN PSYCHICAL and PHYSICAL ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS. But as the SYSTEMS SCIENCES remind us, as well as MODERN PHYSICS, indigenous aboriginals, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, such FRAGMENTATION IS NOT REAL (i.e. does not have a SENSE-EXPERIENCE based foundation) and the motions of millions of WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS that affirm abstractions such as INDEPENDENT NATIONS do not MAKE SUCH INTELLECTUAL ABSTRACTION ‘REAL’ but merely demonstrate that language-stimulated psychological abstraction is capable of cultivating physical systems of organizing that are ungrounded in sense-experience reality. The psyche may be convinced of its ability to ‘walk through fire’ or to ‘suboptimize’ and construct a local independent nation that is superior to all other ‘independent nations’ and this ‘suboptimizing game’ may play out for a long while, as it has been playing out among WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS without ever checking out whether ‘DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE’ had any traction in sense-experience reality beyond the intellectual role-plays they stimulate (since we live in a WAVE-FIELD world wherein everything is related, the DECLARATIONS of INDEPENDENCE can only be a linguistic-intellectual abstraction that stands or falls on the commitment of supporters).
“The above aphorism (The Name of the Devil is Suboptimization’), attributed to Kenneth Boulding, points to the inherent weakness characterizing the mindset and socio‐economic, political, educational and managerial practices of Western Industrial society as it developed over the past 300 years. It has its basis in the analytic‐reductionist scientific paradigm, which, despite the remarkable technological applications it spawned, is inappropriate, conflict‐generating and dysfunctional in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence…”
— György Jaros and Martine Dodds-Taljaard (International Society of Systems Sciences)
SUBOPTIMIZATION is an UNREAL (BINARY LOGIC based) source of psycho-physical FRAGMENTATION infecting WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL COLLECTIVES, which is important in understanding THE EAST-WEST PSYCHOLOGICAL SPLIT .

Our use of LANGUAGE ‘CONDITIONS’ the way we THINK about the world. While we live within a WAVE-FIELD, what we loosely call ‘the WEST’ refers to a LANGUAGE GROUP that has DROPPED OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLLING WAVE_FIELD CONJUGATE from its (our) LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE and is using a ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ONLY LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING STRUCTURE.. So, for example, the basis WAVE-FIELD DYNAMIC of TRANSFORMATION is, in WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE, “FRAGMENTED” by the DROPPING OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE and employing a LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE which REDUCES REALITY (i.e. reduces language based conceptualization of reality) to the familiar ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ONLY “SIMPLIFIED SUBSTITUTE REALITY” where we way things like ‘the TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods and services”.
This WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE “DROPS OUT” the female accommodating/enabling WAVE-FIELD FIELD CONJUGATE and ‘goes with’ ONLY THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE.
THIS HAS MAJOR PROBLEMATIC CONSEQUENCES such as, to give one example, the CONSERVATIVE — LIBERAL POLARIZED OPPOSITION. This coverservative – liberal SPLIT derives from DROPPING OUT, in WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE, of the FEMALE ACCOMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE which, in the real (beyond language) senes-experience world of inclusion in the WAVE-FIELD, which is comprised of “BOTH” FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE “AND” MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE.
This “BOTH” / “AND” CONJUGATE RELATION is basic to the WAVE-FIELD DYNAMIC, and it is captures in MODERN PHYSICS, and in indigenous aboriginal languages and in the language architectures of Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, BUT NOT IN WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE, because WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE has opted to SIMPLIFY LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING by DROPPING OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE and going with a ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING “ONLY” CONCEPTUALIZATION.
SO, INSTEAD OF THE MODERN PHYSICS and indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta WAVE-FIELD supportive ANDROGYNOUS STRUCTURE in LANGUAGE, the WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE “DROPS OUT” the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE, leaving WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE WITH ONLY THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE, … hence the FULL WAVE-FIELD LANGUAGE ARTICULATION such as ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE, WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE goes ONLY WITH THE ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE of ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods and services‘ which SAY NOTHING ABOUT THE CONJUGATE SHIRINKING OF THE WILDERNESS, the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE THAT IS INCLUDED IN MODERN PHYSICS, indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta languages.
This LINGUISTIC DROPPING OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE FROM WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGES is the source of FRAGMENTATION IN WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE CONDITIONS PSYCHES AND BEHAVIOURS
This SIMPLIFYING, DIMINISHING REDUCTION of the WAVE-FIELD in WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE, WHICH REDUCES THE CONEPTUALIZATION TO ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ONLY TERMS INFUSES FREAGMENTATION of VARIOUS TYPES into WESTERN CULTURE DISCOURSE and FROM THERE INTO WESTERN CULTURE PSYCHES AND BEHAVIOURS, as has been described By David Bohm under the heading FRAGMENTATION in his ‘Wholeness and the Implicate Order’.
One of the ways in which FRAGMENTATION MANIFESTS as a result of the DROPPING OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE IN LANGUAGE, is in the WESTERN CONSERVATIVE – LIBERAL SPLIT. This FRAGMENTATION IS DUE TO THE “FIRST MISTAKE” where the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR “CONJURES UP” the notional SPLIT into TWO TYPES OF “LOCAL AUTHORING” (THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LOCAL AUTHORING IN THE REAL WORLD OF OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE of inclusion in the transforming relational continuum aka the WAVE-FIELD).
“LOCAL AUTHORING” is the synthetic artifact created with the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR which is NOT ONLY A NON-EXISTING LANGUAGE BASED ABSTRACTION but an ABSTRACTION which is SPLIT into a MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING and FEMALE ACOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE FORM. These TWO INTELLECTUAL ABSTRACTIONS are the DEFINING BASIS of the terms of LOCAL AUTHORING termed CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL where the former (CONSERVATIVE) is IMAGINED to be AUTHORING which is LOCAL and EXPLICIT and described as MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALLIZING actions and developments while the LIBERAL is IMAGINED to be AUTHORING which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT as might develop within a social collective while it may MANIFEST through particular individual LIGHTNING RODS is understood as deriving from the social collective.
MEANWHILE, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “LOCAL AUTHORING”, IT IS THE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR as Nietzsche has pointed out, … but we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have the BLINDERS ON and are charging forward with the FALSE and FRAGMENTATIVE UNDERSTANDING that LOCAL AUTHORING is something REAL in a SENSE-EXPERIENCE CONTEXT. LOCAL AUTHORING IS “NOT REALI”! IT IS A DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING AND GRAMMAR.
CAN WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS OVERLOOK THE REALITY THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “LOCAL AUTHORING” AND USE “LOCAL AUTHORING” AS THE BASIS FOR THE “CONSERVATIVE” – “LIBERAL” SCHISM? “YES WE CAN AND WE DO, BECAUSE LANGUAGE IS LIKE THAT; I.E. WE CAN USE LANGUAGE TO CONSTRUCT WHAT WE SHALL “REALITY” AS WE SEE FIT AND IN THE CASE OF WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, we are using the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR to imply “LOCAL AUTHORING” of TWO TYPES, the CONSERVATIVE “LOCAL AUTHORING” which is LOCAL and EXPLICIT in the sense of ORIGINATING IN AN INDIVIDUAL and in terms of MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING, … and the LIBIERAL “LOCAL AUTHORING” which is LOCAL and IMPLICIT and manifests through a LIGHTNING ROD who is NOT THE LOCAL ORIGINATING AUTHOR of the action but the CONDUIT to the relation dynamics that brew up within the social collective.
The CONSERVATIVE belief is that the INDIVIDUAL is the PRIMARY AUTHORING SOURCE of actions and development while the LIBEERAL belief is that the SOCIAL COLLECTIVE is the PRIMARY AUTHORING SOURCE which operates through INDIVIDUALS as CONDUITS. This is why LIBERALS do NOT believe that the JUSTICE SYSTEM should work by simply ATTRIBUTING the INJURIOUS ACTIONS of an individual TO THE INDIVIDUAL; e.g.
“while representing 4.1 percent of the overall Canadian population, Indigenous adults accounted for almost 30 percent of total custodial admissions in 2016-2017 (Statistics Canada 2016a; Statistics Canada, 2017a
In other words, the LIBERAL view is that individuals can be CONDUITS for relational dissonance that brews up within the social collective, without being the LOCAL JUMPSTART AUTHOR of VIOLENT ACTIONS that “APPEAR” to “ORIGINATE” from him but where he is instead a CONDUIT for the release of tensions developing with the relational matrix of the social collective.
