BINARY LOGIC’S DOUBLE WHAMMY OF FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM.

BINARY LOGIC’S DOUBLE WHAMMY OF FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM.
THERE IS A LANGUAGE-BASED SOURCE of WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL DYSFUNCTION and it is B I N A R Y L O G I C which HIDES WITHIN IT, THE DOUBLE WHAMMY of FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM.
Not only do we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS FRAGMENT ‘REALITY’ by buildling into our LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE the UNREAL (ABSTRACT) EITHER/OR SPLIT of MATTER and SPACE, we COMPOUND this FRAGMENTATION with LINGUISTIC OBSCURANTISM of the ‘Thin Skull Rule’ where we ARCHITECT LANGUAGE to FALSELY give FULL and SOLE AUTHORING CREDIT for ACTION and DEVELOPMENT to a purported MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE and “NO AUTHORING CREDIT AT ALL to the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE.
When a person is punched in the head, there is an ambiguous combining of the female accommodating ‘giving in’ of the skull together with the male assertive ‘forcing’ of the punch that establishes the unfolding development. Here we see in action, in our THOUGHT and LANGUAGE, the COMBINATION of MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING and FEMALE ACCOMMODATING, a combination that is EVER-PRESENT because THE WORLD WE SHARE INCLUSION IN, IS A WAVE-FIELD according to our SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY, our REALITY-SIMPLIFYING BINARY LOGIC BASED LANGUAGE NOTWITHSTANDING. Here we encounter a MISMATCH due to the FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM infused into our LANGUAGE in our efforts to SIMPLIFY our LINGISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING OF OUR COMPLEX SENSE-EXPERIENCE of INCLUSION in the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka the WAVE-FIELD.
While the WAVE-FIELD is a CONTINUUM, our LANGUAGE FRAGMENTS IT WITH BINARY LOGIC into MATTER and SPACE.
While the WAVE-FIELD is ANDROGYNOUS and embodies BOTH a FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING together with a MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING, our WESTERN CULTURE SCHEME OF LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION “NOT ONLY” DROPS OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING FLUIDITY (here comes the FRAGMENTATION) BUT ALSO PUTS IN ITS PLACE AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE OF INFINITE EXTENT WHICH IS OBSCURANTISM since the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SEAMLESSLY OBSCURES ALL EVIDENCE of the CONTINUING SENSE-EXPERIENCE EXISTENCE of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE; i.e. the WAVE-FIELD NATURE OF REALITY IS “NOT GOING AWAY” just because the WORDS FOR SYMBOLIZING the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE ARE “GOING AWAY”.
“FRAGMENTATION” and “OBSCURANTISM” are reatures within the CONCEPTUALIZATIONS of LINGUISTIC PSEUDO-REALITY “BUT ALSO”. Our SENSES continue to bring us the full, unfragmented, unobscured EXPERIENCE regardless of our INTELLECTUAL GAME-PLAYING on the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING FRONT wherein we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are dabbling in “FRAGMENTATION” and “OBSCURANTISM” so as to “SIMPLIFY THE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION OF REALITY” thus PUTTING OUR SIMPIFIED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION OF REALITY “AT ODDS” WITH OUR “SENSE-EXPERIENCING OF REALITY” by INFUSING “FRAGMENTATION” and “OBSCURANTISM” into the “SIMPLIFED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION OF REALITY”, for example when we say things like “THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN THE TOWN” (FRAGMENTATION) when thereality is the transforming relatoinal continuum where “THERE IS PEOPLING IN THE TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”
The PEOPLING IN THE TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE is all according to our SENSE-EXPERIENCE of INCLUSION THEREIN, while the FRAGMENTATION into a notional MULTIPLICITY OF ‘INDEPENDENT HUMAN BEINGS’ is ABSTRACT LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION OF REALITY WHICH IS SIMPLIFIED INFERENCE MEANT TO SERVE AS A SIGNALLING SYSTEM TO SHARE SYMBOLS that can put people on MORE OR LESS THE SAME PAGE for the purpose of coordination within the transforming relational continuum. If, thanks to our simplifying language, a group of us believe we are working together to ‘CONSTRUCT A TOWN’, this is BALONEY but it is USEFUL BALONEY with respect to being a SILLY ABSTRACT CONCEPTUALIZATION that nevertheless helps us “COORDINATE ACTIONS” which are, MEANWHILE, NOT TO DO WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF A TOWN (that is pure ABSTRACTION) but to continuing variations within the context of our CO-INCLUSION in the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM. When we ‘put it to language’ we get USEFUL BALONEY such as ‘WE ARE EXPANDING THE TOWN BY ADDING MORE NEW STREETS AND NEW AVENUES and shifting the signs that say “ENTERING PLEASANTVILLE” and “LEAVING PELEASANTVILLE” in keeping with the GROWTH of PLEASANTVILLE.
OF COURSE, “GROWTH” is ABSTRACTION that, once we UTTER IT within our ABSTRACT WORD COCKTAILS, we have INFUSED FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM in our PSYCHE, the FRAGMENTATION associated with the GROWTH of the TOWN notionally WITHIN an ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE of INFINITE EXTENT, and OBSCURANTISM of FAILING TO MENTION THE SHRINKING OF THE WILDERNESS, a reality that exposes the ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING ONLY NONSENSE imputed by the word “GROWTH”. Because the world of our SENSE-EXPERIENCE is a WAVE-FIELD WORLD; i.e. a TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka an ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, WE CANNOT (without losing our PSYCHOLOGICAL GROUNDING in sense-experience reality) DROP OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE.
That is, IN SPITE OF A LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION THAT INCLUDES the ABSTRACT NOTION OF ‘GROWTH’ as in ‘the CHILD IS GROWING’ or ‘the TOWN IS GROWING’, our sense-experience DOESN’T BUY THE PURPORTED VALIDITY OF THIS WORD-CONCEPT ‘GROWTH’ because our SENSE-EXPERIENCE informsus that there can be NO GROWTH of the TOWN or the CHILD without CONJUGATE SHRINKING of the CONTAINING LANDSCAPE, and in fact this GROWING and CONJUGATE SHRINKING are NOT TWO LOCAL, EXPLICIT THINGS but, as our PRE-LINGUAL SENSE-EXPERIENCE INFORMS US, ONE THING which we can call TRANSFORMATION, or more appropriately, ‘THE TRANSFORMING’ since it is going on EVERYWHERE AT THE SAME TIME which is the nature of the ALL-INCLUDING WAVE-FIELD in which WE and ALL MATERIAL FORMS are CONDENSATIONS so that FIGURES and GROUND are ONLY ONE and so LINGUISTIC FRAGMENTATION INTO IS NOT REAL; i.e. NOT SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMABLE and it is OBSCURANTIST because so long as we have it in our minds the BINARY LOGIC FRAGMENTATION of ‘the TOWN THAT IS GROWING’, we CANNOT, AT THE SAME TIME, COMPREHEND THE LESS SIMPLE SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED QUANTUM (BOTH/AND) LOGIC REALITY WHEREIN “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” .
LET’S FACE IT, … WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS HAVE SOME MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE SIGNIFICANT ‘DISCONNECT’ BETWEEN our LINGUISTIC BINARY LOGIC BASED CONCEPTUALIZATIONS and our SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED REALITY. For example, in the former we have the more simple BINARY LOGIC ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ (as if within an absolute empty and infinite space) in the latter, which is meant to be addressing the same thing, we have the LESS SIMPLE “There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” wherein EVERYTHING IS IN AN UNBOUNDED FLOWING CONTINUUM so that relational forms are APPEARANCES within the all-including TRANSFORMING. It is only WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING THAT conjures up the APPEARANCE of LOCAL, EXPLICIT material forms as if within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, that being INTELLECTUAL LINGUAGE BASED ABSTRACTION, is CONCEPTUALIZING that is BEYOND THE NATURAL LIMITS OF SENSE-EXPERIENGE INFORMED DEVELOPMENTS.
For example, ‘The GROWTH OF A TOWN’ is LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING that is BEYOND THE NATURAL LIMITS OF SENSE-EXPERIENCE INFORMED DEVELOPMENTS since THERE IS NO ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING ‘GROWING’ ON ITS OWN, there can only be GROWING within the conjugate relation with SHRINKING, these two conjugates being a simple way of conveying the ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka the ALL-INCLUDING WAVE-FIELD within which MATERIAL FORMS are CONDENSATIONS (the QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC RELATION).
BINARY LOGIC IS ABSTRACTION BASED LOGIC WHEREIN THE PROPOSITIONS ARE ALWAYS, NECESSARILY, “INCOMPLETE”.
QUANTUM LOGIC, which requires a LESS SIMPLE, more NUANCED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING as can capture BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM “AVOIDS” THE PROBLEMS of FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM (i.e. ‘fragmentation’ as in splitting OUT ‘MAPS’ (fragment based conceptualizations) of SO-CALLED ‘TOWNS’ (the IMAGINARY ENVELOPE of gathering-scattering resonance features) which are LOCAL and EXPLICIT and are SUBSTITUTED for the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT gathering-scattering patterns. By NAMING the standing form resonance features they are imputedly given LOGAL INDEPENDENT BEING status and by inventing GRAMMAR, it is possible to develop a system of LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING which now has a STABLE (LOCAL, EXPLICIT, PERSISTING) BASE and all is thanks to the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR where the LOCAL AUTHORING AGENCY is shifted, notionally, from the CLUSTERING which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT to the PERSISTING LOCAL ENVELOPE which gives the APPEARANCE of a LOCAL THING that GROWS and SHRINKS and SHIFTS, which we are calling ‘the CLUSTER’, and are pretending that is a LOCAL THING-IN-ITSELF with ITS OWN POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS.
USING THIS “DOUBLE ERROR” of NAMING and GRAMMAR, which we PASTE LIKE LABELS over resonance features, we DEVELOP LANGUAGE that GIVES INDEPENDENT LIFE (notionally) TO LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL FORMS which are, in our sense-experience reality, RESONANCE FEATURES “OF THE NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT RELATIONAL CONTINUUM'”; i.e. EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX HERE and there is only THE APPEARANCE of LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL FORMS based on RESONANCE PHENOMENA.
This is how LANGUAGE IS CREATED that SUBSTITUTES for the NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT RESONANCE FEATURES, BASED ON ‘APPEARANCES”; i.e. RESONANCES WITHIN THE FLOW-CONTINUUM THAT APPEAR TO BE what we now think of as “LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL ENTITIES. notionally with “THEIR OWN” GRAMMAR-GIVEN POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS.
This is an ABSTRACT LANGUAGE-BASED CONCEPTUALIZATION, A ‘SUBSTITUTE REALITY’ that “could have been” a USEFUL TOOL, were it not for what has been happening;
A man’s wisdom is to know that all ends are momentary, that the best end must be superseded by a better. But there is a mischievous tendency in him to transfer his thought from the life to the ends, to quit his agency and rest in his acts: the tools run away with the workman, the human with the divine. —Ralph Waldo Emerson
While there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE and that TOWN as it is in any particular moment is continually being superseded by something new, perhaps better, but certainly different, and just as there is TOWNING in the TRANFORMING LANDSCAPE, so also is there HUMANING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE, … and it would be a good idea to do like the indigenous aboriginals and continually remind ourselves that we are a strand in the overall transforming web-of-life thus a product of our unique situationally inclusion therein, but the TOOL OF LANGUAGE lets us TALK OF OURSELVES as if we were INDEPENDENT BEINGS notionally with actions and developments deriving from INTERNAL ‘ORGANS’ such as ‘LUNGS’ and “HEART’ and ‘CIRCULATION SYSTEM’ and other MACHINES-OPERATING-IN-EMPTY-SPACE LIKE ANALOGIES which have become stubbornly persisting LANGUAGE-SUPPORTED DELUSIONS. It is from this LANGUAGE BASED DELUSION that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS construct our FRAGMENTED, OBSCURANTIST LINGUISTIC PSEUDO-REALITY wherein we are IN DENIAL of our natural fully-integrated presenece as CONDENSATIONS of the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka WAVE-FIELD.
The FRAGMENTATION comes with the DROPPING OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE and the OBSCURANTISM comes with the ‘COVER-UP’ of hiding the REMOVAL of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE by imposing the notional ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.
We can this COMBINATION of FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM occurring in LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING as associates with the RESONANCE features of the GATHERING and SCATTERING of ANTS stimulated by a DROP OF HONEY. This RESONANCE phenomenon is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (purely relational and not deliberately planned and executed) but our WESTERN CULTURE TENDENCY perhaps because of having some experience with DELIBERATE ORGANIZING. The SIMPLICITY of some LANGUAGE PATTERNS relative to others, or perhaps it is EGO, invites to use language to CONCEPTUALIZE what is going on with the CLUSTERING in terms of the FORMATION OF A CLUSTER. This world CLUSTER is, in this example, out of the BLUE and seems to associate the opportunity to impose the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING AND GRAMMAR which then enables us to form such abstractions as ‘the CLUSTER IS GROWING’. I say ‘abstractions’ since we have nothing coming from our sense-experience that suggests that what we are referring to as ‘the CLUSTER’ is some kind of SENTIENT BEING that has CONSCIOUSNESS OF ITS OWN and is deciding to GROW ITSELF as in ‘the CLUSTER IS GROWING’ (and shifting towards the stream, or DISTRIBUTING THE HONEY, all of these language constructs implying an INTELLIGENCE within THE CLUSTER that is directing its GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION of FORMS and MOVEMENTS.
HAVING TAKEN THE INTELLIGENCE OUT OF THE NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT (WAVE-FIELD), we have instead resituated ‘the SEAT OF CONSCIOUSNESS, INTELLIGENCE AND BEHAVIOURAL INTENT within the RESONANCE FEATURE although this can only be based on APPEARANCE and our own VOYEUR IMAGININGS.
This shift of the INTELLIGENCE from THE NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT ALL-INCLUDING WAVE-FIELD to particular LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL FORMS separated by UNINTELLIGENT EMPTY SPACE is a WESTERN CULTURE REALITY CONCEPTUALIZING CHOICE which is FRAGMENTATIVE and OBSCURANTIST. It is FRAGMENTATIVE in that, as with the example of ants in a NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) clustering phenomenon, we inject into our LANGUAGE based CONCEPTUALIZING, the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR to ‘CREATE’ (in our language-stimulated psyche) the ABSTRACTION of a LOCAL AUTHOR with its own POWERS OF AUTHORING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS. Now we have ‘the CLUSTER’ which is LOCAL and EXPLICIT and notionally the seat of INTELLIGENT BEHAVIOUR in what is now “A CLUSTER”, a notional “LOCAL THING-ITSELF’, notionally with ITS OWN INTERNAL POWERS OF AUTHORING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT.
QUESTIONS:
Whatver happened to the RESONANCE FEATURE within the ALL-INCLUDING NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM?
If we check over our shoulder, we see that the INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL, TAOIST/BUDDHIST AND ADVAITA VEDANTA CULTURES STILL HAVE THIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRESENCE OF A NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT ALL-PERVADING CONSCIOUSNESS WHICH IS LOCALLY POPULATED WITH MATERIAL CONDENSATIONS WHICH ARE “NOT” INDEPENDENT OF THE NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT, ALL-PERVADING WAVE-FIELD OR ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM OR ‘FIELD OF CONSCIOIUSNESS’.
In this MODERN PHYSICS consistent understanding of NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT FIELD OF CONSCIOUSNESS, while there is CLUSTERING “THAT BELONGS TO THE NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT ENERGY-FLOW FIELD”, there are NO INDEPENDENT CLUSTERS notionally with their own LOCAL POWERS OF AUTHORING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT, THAT BEING an artefact of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR.
The POLITICS that come with these two different models or reality, the QUANTUM LOGIC MODEL understanding that all things are related as with material condensations of an all-including WAVE-FIELD and the other understanding that all things are INDEPENDENT FRAGMENTS isolated by being in an infinite empty space and OBSCURANTIST in that THEY PRETEND TO BE THE MASTERS OF THEIR OWN ACTIONS, as they would have to be if the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka the WAVE-FIELD REALLY WAS AN EMPTY SPACE, which it clearly is NOT. And in admitting that the HUMANINGS IN THE TRANSFORMING WAVE-FIELD are ‘STRANDS IN AN INTEGRATED WEB-OF-LIFE’, as acknowledged by the Systems Sciences in the terms that we are living “…in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence…” — György Jaros and Martine Dodds-Taljaard (International Society of Systems Sciences
This cannot be interpreted in terms of a need to become SUPER-CONSCIOUS of ALL OUR RELATIONS, because THAT IS WHO WE ARE and we don’t have to consciously think about it so that we can GET IN STEP WITH EVERYTHING, … it implies, that, if we can can ‘get in touch with it’, our ‘self’ ALREADY IS “ONE WITH EVERYTHING”
In Taoism, attaining a state of emptiness is viewed as a state of stillness and placidity which is the “mirror of the universe” and the “pure mind”. The Tao Te Ching claims that emptiness is related to the “Tao, the Great Principle , the Creator and Sustainer of everything in the universe”.
So, ONCE WE IMPOSE BINARY LOGIC CONCEPTUALIZING, we WITHDRAW SUPPORT from the understanding that CONSCIOUS INTELLIGENCE IS INNATE IN THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD.
Clearly, there is an understanding waiting for us wherein we are HUMANINGS in the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM wherein everyone is related, including those in HAMAS and those in the Kibbutz
in which case the remedy for violent relational dissonance is restoring relational harmony. The BINARY LOGIC of PURIFICATION by way of ELIMINATING the BAD DEVILISH BEINGS and become submissive to the GOOD ANGELIC BEINGS doesn’t work, … not BECAUSE there is an ENDLESS SUPPLY OF EVIL BEINGS but because there are no such things as BEINGS, there are only relational forms in the transforming relational continuum and when relations become violent, it is the RELATIONS that are the problem we must work on and this problem is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT as are the relational influences in the WAVE-FIELD.
When we find ourselves focusing on the LOCAL and EXPLICIT, it’s time to recall the reality that CLUSTERS are only ‘APPEARANCES’. If we see ‘the CLUSTER GROWING’, whether it is the HAMAS cluster or the IRGUN cluster, it is only “APPEARANCE” while the reality is the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE.

While David Bohm has done a great job EXPOSING THE FRAGMENTATION that is built into WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE and summarizes THE DAMAGE BEING DONE BY FRAGMENTATION in the two paragraphs cited here from “Wholeness and the Implicate Order’, and while Bohm explains how FRAGMENTATION derives from the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR, Bohm does not mention that there is an inter-relating DOUBLE-DOUBLE ERROR in WESTERN CULTURE “BINARY LOGIC” .
The FIRST of the DOUBLE ERRORS is FRAGMENTATION (by way of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR which (1a) uses NAMING to impute BEING, and (2a) uses GRAMMAR of imply powers of LOCAL AUTHORING, and the SECOND of the DOUBLE ERRORS being OBSCURANTISM (by way of the DOUBLE ERROR of (1b) DROPPING OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE, and (2b) SUBSTITUTING ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE OF INFINITE EXTENT for the DROPPED OUT FEMALE CONJUGATE.
While I have made plenty of mention in my notes, of the ERROR of FRAGMENTATION, as was so well documented by Bohm, I spent less time on the ERROR of OBSCURANTISM, but BINARY LOGIC INCLUDES BOTH OF THESE ERRORS while QUANTUM LOGIC INCLUDES NEITHER. For example;
EXAMPLE of FRAGMENTATION: Fragmentation comes with the abstraction of LOCAL AUTHORING as in the TOWNS are GROWING. In this LANGUAGE based CONCEPTUALIZING, each TOWN is a new centre of growth which means that there are many disconnected TOWNS (or COUNTRIES etc.) and this FRAGMENATION derives from the use of the abstraction of NAMING. By contrast, in a VERB based language such as the indigenous aboriginal languages and the language usage in Zen Buddhism etc, we could have said ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE wherein everyhing is included in a relational flux aka TRANSFORMATION.
EXAMPLE of FRAGMENTATION.
1 FRAGMENTATION AND WHOLENESS (from Wholeness and the Implicate Order by David Bohm)
The title of this chapter is ‘Fragmentation and wholeness’. It is especially important to consider this question today, for fragmentation is now very widespread, not only throughout society, but also in each individual; and this is leading to a kind of general confusion of the mind, which creates an endless series of problems and interferes with our clarity of perception so seriously as to prevent us from being able to solve most of them.
Thus art, science, technology, and human work in general, are divided up into specialities, each considered to be separate in essence from the others. Becoming dissatisfied with this state of affairs, men have set up further interdisciplinary subjects, which were intended to unite these specialities, but these new subjects have ultimately served mainly to add further separate fragments. Then, society as a whole has developed in such a way that it is broken up into separate nations and different religious, political, economic, racial groups, etc. Man’s natural environment has correspondingly been seen as an aggregate of separately existent parts, to be exploited by different groups of people. Similarly, each individual human being has been fragmented into a large number of separate and conflicting compartments, according to his different desires, aims, ambitions, loyalties, psychological characteristics, etc., to such an extent that it is generally accepted that some degree of neurosis is inevitable, while many individuals going beyond the ‘normal’ limits of fragmentation are classified as paranoid, schizoid, psychotic, etc.

OK, Bohm describes FRAGMENTATION without mentioning BINARY LOGIC and why should he? We commonly use BINARY LOGIC in our language based conceptualizing of things, in this case FRAGMENTATION which is the home ground of BINARY LOGIC usage, but I NEED TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN “SIMPLE” BINARY LOGIC and “LESS SIMPLE” QUANTUM LOGIC not only because I want to directly discuss their difference, but of the problem of OBSCURANTISM which I am trying to explain because of its significance in regard to how our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE CONCEPTUALIZING “DROPS OUT” the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE. For example, Goedel’s Theorem tells us that ALL SYSTEMS OF BINARY LOGIC are INCOMPLETE which gives us an EXPOSURE TO CONFUSION since come of our LOGIC “IS MORE COMPLETE THAN OTHERS’ and yet we give both the STAMP OF APPROVAL OF BEING ‘TRUE’ even when we may be studying the same phenomenon so that TWO LOGICIANS may be ARGUING over the QUALITY of their RESPECTIVE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS, BOTH of which are TRUE but one of which is MORE SIMPLE than that other.
This can lead to confusion since our INTUITION may inform us that even though two logical propositions are TRUE, one may seem ‘more complete’.
First True BINARY LOGIC Proposition: ‘the TOWN is GROWING’.
Second True BINARY LOGIC Proposition: ‘the TOWN is GROWING and the WILDERNESS is SHRINKING’.
QUANTUM LOGIC LESS SIMPLE PROPOSITION: there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE.
There is a weakness in that our everyday WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE employs a BINARY LOGIC structure because it is SIMPLER than QUANTUM LOGIC, but the SIMPLER BINARY LOGIC is exposed to both FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM;
The Judaic/Christian/Islamic BINARY LOGIC FIASCO
JEWS, CHRISTIANS and MUSLIMS have a LANGUAGE supported tendency to ‘be coming from’ a COMMON ‘REALITY CONCEPTUALIZING PRACTICE’ which is BINARY LOGIC BASED.
The BINARY LOGIC based REALITY with its BELIEF in a world constituted by MATERIAL FORMS in an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE has been BUILT INTO the differing languages used by these groups, and that is where there is overall consistency in their BINARY LOGIC based REALITY CONCEPTUALIZATION, … which is very different from the QUANTUM LOGIC based REALITY of indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists, Advaita Vedanta adherents, … and, … MODERN PHYSICS.
The QUANTUM LOGIC REALITY is based on ‘mitakuye oyasin’, … everything is related, in the manner of CONDENSATIONS in the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD aka TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM. This is where QUANTUM LOGIC ‘comes from’; i.e. it ‘comes from’ the BOTH/AND RELATION of material CONDENSATIONS of the WAVE-FIELD and the WAVE-FIELD, … which is analogous to the WHORLING in the FLOWING of a transforming watercourse. Note that the WHORLING and the FLOWING are one and the same; i.e. we could not get a fishing net and LIFT OUT THE WHORLING because the WHORLING is how the FLOWING is APPEARING which means it is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (RELATIONAL), so the next time we fall into the trap of using ‘the WHORL in a NAMING and GRAMMAR DOUBLE ERROR COMBINATION such as ‘the WHORLING is MOVING ACROSS THE TURBULENT RIVER FLOW, … WE NEED TO CORRECT THIS ‘DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR’ because the WHORLING is the “APPEARANCE” OF THE FLOWING.
In other words, “THE WHORLING” is NOT SOMETHING WE COULD GATHER UP IN A FISHING NET, because it is simply how FLOWING is APPEARING. Thus, we are wrong if we LOCAL THING-IT-ITSELF BEING with LOCAL POWERS OF AUTHORING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENT to ‘the WHORLING’. As MODERN PHYSICS has affirmed and as was already the understanding built into indigenous aboriginal linguistic conceptualization and understanding, THE WHORLING AND THE FLOWING ARE ONLY ONE AND NOT TWO.
IN GENERAL THE WORLD OF OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE IS QUANTUM LOGIC BASED AND NOT BINARY LOGIC BASED, as understood in MODERN PHYSICS, indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoists/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING of REALITY.
It’s Time to Move Beyond BINARY LOGIC based THINKING and ACTING to QUANTUM LOGIC THINKING and ACTING.

This is a spell-corrected version of the note by this title previously sent to a distribution list. I am spell-correcting it and am herewith archiving it on my Aboriginal Physics Newsletter website because I feel it manages to capture the subtle issues associated with understanding the differences between QUANTUM LOGIC and BINARY LOGIC more clearly, perhaps, than usual. For example while BINARY LOGIC is simple and captures only the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING DYNAMIC, QUANTUM LOGIC is LESS simple and captures, AS WELL, the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate, where these TWO CONJUGATES correspond to the REAL and IMAGINARY components of the WAVE-FIELD dynamic.
Our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE, by DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE is dropping out the IMAGINARY COMPONENT of the COMPLEX WAVE-FIELD dynamic. In other words, SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC is only capable of expressing MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING dynamics such as ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ while the LESS SIMPLE combination of MALE-ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate and FEMALE-ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate is capable of capturing THE FULL COMPLEX (real plus imaginary) WAVE-FIELD DYNAMIC as in ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ wherein everything is in flux and there is no EMPTY SPACE CONTAINER since the ANDROGYNOUS combination captures the CONDENSATION within the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka the WAVE-FIELD in the QUANTUM LOGIC relation wherein FIGURE and GROUND are ONE (where the CONDENSATION [figure] is a feature of the ENERGY-CHARGED-PLENUM [ground].
This is really the key point of this essay, that we are included in the all-including transforming relational continuum aka ‘the wave-field’ which has a COMPLEX (real plus imaginary structure). By this I mean that the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate corresponds to the REAL component which is tangible and visible but only in the sense of a CONDENSATION in the all-including WAVE-FIELD which is ITSELF NONLOCAL and NON-VISIBLE as is the nature of wave-fields. The CONDENSATION is ONLY APPEARANCE because while the WAVE-FIELD is in continuing flux of a NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) nature, the CONDENSATION of the WAVE-FIELD appears LOCAL and EXPLICIT and while it APPEARS “REAL”, it is only “REAL” in the sense of being a LOCAL, EXPLICIT ‘APPEARANCE’ as with a CLOUD which is a CONDENSATION of an ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM. MATERIAL FORMS such as HUMANINGS understood as CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-INCLUDING WAVE-FIELD are part of the overall, all-including ENERGY CHARGED PLENUM aka TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM, which exemplifies the QUANTUM LOGIC relation, the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM where the CONDENSATION is both a LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL FORM and at the same time, the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT, ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka the WAVE-FIELD.
BINARY LOGIC IS “TOO SIMPLE” to capture the COMPLEX WAVE-FIELD basis of reality, but WHAT BINARY LOGIC CAN DO, is CAPTURE the ‘REAL COMPONENT’ of the COMPLEX (REAL + IMAGINARY or LOCAL-EXPLICIT + NONLOCAL-IMPLICIT) WAVE-FIELD structure. WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE has been based on LINGUAFYING the REAL, LOCAL, EXPLICIT CONJUGATE of the WAVE-FIELD and simply DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE because it is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) and requires, for its linguistic sharing, LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC based LANGUAGE, the BOTH/AND LOGIC based LANGUAGE of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, as where one says, ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’. This language is COMPLEX in the sense that the TOWNING is LOCAL and EXPLICIT and is in an innate conjugate relationship with the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational).
WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS opted for LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE which DROPS OUT THE NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE, leaving ABSOLUTE EMPTY, INFINITE SPACE to ‘work with’ the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE which serves as the LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL ENTITY designated by NAMING and given notional LOCAL AUTHORING POWER with GRAMMAR. This SIMPLIFIED ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL DYNAMIC IN ABSOLUTE EMPTY PSEUDO-REALITY is WESTERN CULTURE ‘OPERATIVE REALITY’. It is a PSEUDO-REALITY that is REDUCED to the DYNAMICS of MATERIAL OBJECTS THAT WE PURPORT TO MOVE ABOUT and INTERACT as if in ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.
INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL languages and Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta language, have the same COMPLEX (real + imaginary, or LOCAL/EXPLICIT + NONLOCAL/IMPLICIT WAVE-FIELD STRUCTURE. In THIS INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL COMPLEX, WAVE-FIELD CAPABLE (REAL + IMAGINARY) LANGUAGE based CONCEPTUALIZING where we can speak in terms of TOWNING (local, explicit) in the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM (nonlocal, implicit), not as TWO SEPARATE THINGS but as ONE COMPLEX RELATIONAL STRUCTURE wherein the LOCAL, EXPLICIT TOWNING is INCLUDED IN THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE.
The above INTRODUCTION to this SPELL-CORRECTED VERSION of the previous note summarizes the structures of the TWO DIFFERENT LANGUAGE BASED REALITY CONCEPTUALIZATIONS; i.e. the MODERN PHYSICS, indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta QUANTUM LOGIC REALITY CONCEPTUALIZING ARCHITECTURE and the WESTERN CULTURE BINARY LOGIC REALITY CONCEPTUALING ARCHITECTURE.
The original essay, now spell corrected and augmented to clarify key passages, follows;

WESTERN CULTURE Needs to GET OFF ITS BUSTRIP TO HELL

INTRODUCTION: This essay reviews how we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are using LANGUAGE in such a manner as to FRAGMENT REALITY, or rather, FRAGMENT our LANGUAGE-BASED PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPRESSIONS OF REALITY which are DUMBED DOWN by our REDUCING our language-based CONCEPTUALIZING from the QUANTUM LOGIC of our sense-experience supported CONCEPTUALIZATIONS to the BINARY LOGIC of our INTELLECTUAL ABSTRACTION based CONCEPTUALIZATIONS. For example, the language based conceptualization “There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” is QUANTUM LOGIC based. QUANTUM LOGIC is the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which captures the relation between a CONDENSATION of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM (WAVE-FIELD) and the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD. In this case, the CONDENSATION is NOT “SEPARATE” from the ENERGY CHARGED PLENUM as would involve BINARY (EITHER/OR) LOGIC, the CONDENSATION is part of the APPEARANCE of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD and is a manifesting of the TRANSFORMING NATURE OF THE WAVE-FIELD.
In Modern physics as also in indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, QUANTUM LOGIC is the FOUNDATIONAL LOGIC in linguistic conceptualizing which leads to the QUANTUM LOGIC CONCEPTUALIZATION “There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”. In WESTERN CULTURE, on the other hand, BINARY LOGIC is the FOUNDATIONAL LOGIC in linguistic conceptualizing which leads to BINARY LOGIC CONCEPTUALIZATION “The TOWN is GROWING” (and DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods etc.). Here is where we give FULL AND SOLE AUTHORING OF ACTION AND DEVELOPMENT CREDIT to the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AGENT.
Another way of expressing this is that HERE IS WHERE we DROP OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE and proceed with ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING DYNAMICS ONLY (as if in ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE). This is also describing, in terms of complex variables, the DROP OUT of the IMAGINARY COMPONENT of a REAL + IMAGINARY COMPLEX VARIABLE where the REAL component is the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING wave-field component and the IMAGINARY component is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING wave-field component.
What WESTERN CULTURE has CLEARLY DONE is to have developed a LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE that DROPS OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE as in saying ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ instead of using the full, androgynous ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ which includes the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE together with the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE.

The ominous future implied in the title is NOT an INEVITABLE future, but a future which is indicated by the rise of FRAGMENTATION in our WESTERN CULTURE social collective, which has an overall global impact; i.e. if 10% of the world’s population is intent on developing weapons of mass destruction and pursuing mutual annihilation, then the overall living space will be transformed, effecting everyone and all things.
This understanding where ‘everything is related’ as if CONDENSATIONS in an ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM is the QUANTUM LOGIC understanding of reality of Modern physics, which agrees with the worldview of indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta Adherents.
MEANWHILE, WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS employ LANGUAGE that FRAGMENTS REALITY by assuming that there is such a thing as LOCAL, EXPLICIT ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS, such as the CONSTRUCTION of a TOWN.
The CONSTRUCTION OF A TOWN is a LANGUAGE-based ABSTRACTION which OBSCURES the REALITY of our inclusion in a TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM; i.e. as Heraclitus observed, One can’t step into the same waters twice because they are NOT the same waters and we are not the same person (because everything is in flux).
EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED IN THE RELATIONAL FLUX of the ALL-INCLUDING WAVE-FIELD in the sense that material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING WAVE-FIELD, but our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE employs simple ABSTRACT BINARY LOGIC (where less siple QUANTUM LOGIC is needed) by using NAMING and GRAMMAR to MANUFACTURE the abstraction of NAMING-INSTANTIATED, LOCAL, EXPLICIT THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES with GRAMMAR-GIVEN notional POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENT.

PREFACE: We live in a WAVE-FIELD world that requires a COMPLEX (real + imaginary) LANGUAGE STRUCTURE as employed in Modern physics, indigenous aboriginal languages, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta.
In our ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and in the Common Average European family of languages) we give credit for ACTION-AUTHORED RESULTS to MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING as if the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE DID NOT EXIST, but it DOES EXIST which means that a language architecture that constrains conceptualizatoin to one-sided MALE-ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING, as is the nature of WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE, will produce CONCEPTUALIZATIONS that are INCOMPLETE in that they DROP OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING as is the case in ‘To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose’. This aphorism is reminding us of the WAVE-FIELD NATURE of our sense-experience reality, wherein we cannot attribute action and development simply to MALE ASSERTING as we have engineered into our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE and GRAMMAR based CONCEPTUALIZING, but we must, as Modern physics, indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents do, acknowledge the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE.
But in our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE based CONCEPTUALIZING, we give BINARY LOGIC a FOUNDATIONAL ROLE in which case, we speak only in the one-sided terms of the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING development without acknowledging the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONTRIBUTION which can vary just as well as the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AGENCY can vary. The aphorism ‘To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose’ reminds us, in effect, of the QUANTUM LOGIC structure of reality which is OBSCURED in BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING. We say that ‘the BLOW EITHER shatters the sea-creature’s shell OR DOES NOT, without acknowledging that the shell may be newly formed and fragile or old and hard as rock, so that our WESTERN CULTURE HABIT of LANGUAGE based CONCEPTUALIZING that is ONE-SIDEDLY MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING, FALSELY gives FULL and SOLE CREDIT for the RESULTS of ACTION to the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING without acknowledging an ever-present role of CONJUGATE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING.
As a result, WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE is SIMPLER than indigenous aboriginal language in the same way that Newtonian physics is simpler than Quantum physics. While WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE is grounded in the abstraction of LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL BEING BASED MECHANICS, indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta languages are grounded in NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT FLOW-BASED TRANSFORMATION. While the Newtonian language has a BINARY “EITHER/OR” LOGIC base coming from the assumption that reality is comprised of material objects that are ‘separate from’ and ‘moving about in’ an all-including ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE of INFINITE EXTENT, … the indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta language usage are in accord with Modern physics in being based on the QUANTUM “BOTH/AND” LOGIC based coming from the assumption of an all-including FLUID PLENUM within which the FORMS which comprise the world dynamic are RELATIONAL FORMS which are inegral to the all-including flow aka the WAVE-FIELD or ‘the Tao’, akin to ‘whorlings in the all-including flowing’.
The QUANTUM LOGIC LANGUAGE based worldview of Modern physics, indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta cultures is is LESS SIMPLE than the BINARY LOGIC LANGUAGE based worldview of WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS in the same way that the concept of KAIROS differs from the concept of CHRONOS. CHRONOS is the TIME of the LOCAL, EXPLICIT, EGO, while KAIROS is the TIME of the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT SOUL. In terms of MODERN PHYSICS, CHRONOS is the “REAL” component of the complex WAVE-FIELD while KAIROS is the “IMAGINARY” component of the complex WAVE-FIELD; i.e.
KAIROS = the understanding of the world and who we are are and what we are doing in the LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC based sense of reality wherein we are included in something greater than ourselves so that our understanding of who we are and what we are doing comprehends that we are ‘going with the flow’ whether we like it or not so that our construction is of a simplified substitute world wherein we portray ourselves as the LOCAL AUTHORS of our actions and developments, as if in a TIME-BASED progression. KAIROS is our awareness of inclusion in something beyond our control which can open up and close down opportunity in which case our personal achievements are NOT based ONE-SIDEDLY on our MALE-ASSERTING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS, but depend on the TIDES IN THE AFFAIRS OF MAN that, taken at the flood, can lead on to fortune; i.e. the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD that is in CONJUGATE RELATION with MALE ASSERTING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS can OPEN UP and ACCOMMODATE/ENABLE our MALE ASSERTING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS AND GREATLY AMPLIFY/EMBELLISH THEM.
CHRONOS = the understanding of the world and who we are and what we are doing in the SIMPLE, BINARY LOGIC based sense of a LANGUAGE-based pseudo-reality wherein we portray ourselves as the LOCAL AUTHORS of our own ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS, as if we are ABSOLUTELY EXISTING material forms within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE where our actions and development unfold in TEMPORAL SEQUENCE (CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER), this SIMPLIFIED INTELLECTUAL CHRONOS view arising from BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC FRAGMENTATION of REALITY. Note that ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ is a CHRONOS view wherein things are seen as changing PROGRESSIVELY’over TIME’. This is a VOYEUR VIEW wherein SUBJECT and OBJECT are understood as TWO. In reality we are included in TRANSFORMATION wherein as Shroedinger expounds,“SUBJECT and OBJECT ARE ONLY ONE!”.
The phrase “To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose” expresses that which in Modern physics would be termed the COMPLEX (REAL and IMAGINARY) WAVE-FIELD components of reality, the SEASON referring to our sense-experience of being included in a world wherein “There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures”. — Shakespeare, Julius Caesar.
In simple terms, WE ARE INCLUDED IN SOMETHING GREATER THAN OURSELVES SO THAT WE ARE NOT THE SIMPLE MALE-ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AUTHORS OF “OUR OWN” LOCAL EXPLICIT ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS, but, as in the manner of drivers in the FLOW of freeway traffic, our movements are relative to the opening of co-created corridors of opportunity, the continuing transforming of which we are included contributors within, but not in ‘control of’. This is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE in our WAVE-FIELD REALITY.
But we can, if we choose (as is the WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE SUPPORTED HABIT), to think of ourselves in the CHRONOS based terms of ‘independent beings with our own self-sourced powers of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and development’ in which case we IGNORE our REAL KAIROS based ROLE as PARTICIPANTS IN THE ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM, … a participation in that which is greater than ourselves by way of our being included in the all-including TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM which is influenced by (all of) our relative actions and developments. To the extent that WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS employ LANGUAGE-constrained THINKING that is in the BINARY LOGIC based terms of INDEPENDENT BEINGS that move about and interact in a notional ABSOLUTE EMPTY, INFINITE SPACE, as in a CHRONOS based dynamic, we become prisoners of a BINARY LOGIC based way of being in the world that is the source of FRAGMENTATION, as Bohm is pointing out.
So, this PREFACE has been included as a reminder of our being included in the all-including TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka the WAVE-FIELD, an inclusion that is OBSCURED when we employ our TOO-SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC based LANGUAGE which is fully capable of constructing ‘pseudo-realities’ based on material forms and their actions and interactions as if in absolute empty and infinite space, … a linguistic conceptualizing approach that is OBSCURANTIST in that once we employ LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS based on SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC actions and developments, the communication need has been filled and there is no longer any ‘OPENING’ to bring into play LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC CONCEPTUALIZATION such as;‘To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose’.
That is, once we say ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ wherein we make no mention of the conjugate SHRINKING of WILDERNESS, our one-sided MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ONLY SIMPLIFICATION, which implies ‘WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE’ which provides a non-participating ‘container’ for the ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALZING ONLY ACTION and DEVELOPMENT, the understanding is COMPLETE albeit in an INCOMPLETE SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC SENSE (in the sense of Goedel’s Theorem of INCOMPLETENESS of all finite systems of BINARY LOGIC)..
Once we accept the BINARY LOGIC PROPOSITION (recall Goedel’s Theorem that all finite logical propositions are INCOMPLETE) that ‘the TOWN IS GROWING’, OUR REALITY CONCEPTUALIZATION IS AN ESTABLISHED ‘TAKE-AWAY’, … been there, know that’, … which in the same fell swoop SHUTS OUT (OBSCURES) the less simple QUANTUM LOGIC proposition, ‘THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’.
“TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” is exemplary of the QUANTUM LOGIC dynamic which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT or in other words ‘RELATIONAL’ (the basic nature of TRANSFORMATION).
Here we can see that in order to architect language to deliver an understanding of reality that is NOT subject to BINARY LOGIC based OBSCURANTISM that DROPS OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE as supports ‘the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’, we need a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING scheme that has a BOTH/AND QUANTUM LOGIC capability wherein the material form is a CONDENSATION of the all-including ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM. This QUANTUM LOGIC relation is captured in the words ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’.
BUT IN THE EVENT THAT LANGUAGE BASED EXPRESSION STARTS OFF WITH the SIMPLE CONCEPTUALIZATION; ‘the TOWN is GROWING’, we have IMPLICITLY INJECTED the ABSTRACTION of an ABOLUTE EMPTY CONTAINING SPACE. The words ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ comprise, as Nietzsche pointed out, ‘the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR’ that invents the abstraction of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and development. BUT THERE IS NO “LOCAL AUTHORING” in the REAL SENSE-EXPERIENCE WORLD OF THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM since TRANSFORMATION is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational).
Our SENSE-EXPERIENCE does NOT support the SIMPLE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION, ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ with its implied LOCAL POWER OF AUTHORING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENT, but our INTELLECT is fully capable of such BINARY LOGIC based ABSTRACT CONCEPTUALIZATION and also our EMPLOYING of such ABSTRACT CONCEPTUALIZATION as our INTELLECTUAL ABSTRACTION based OPERATIVE REALITY. Thus, for example, we proceed with the notion that we are GROWING our TOWNS and our AGRICULTURAL and INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTS …. WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING AT THE SAME TIME, THE CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS, in which case what is actually going on is TRANSFORMATION and there is NO SUCH THING IN SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY (but only in INTELLECTUAL ABSTRACTION based PSEUDO-REALITY) AS “THE GROWTH OF TOWNS AND THE GROWTH of AGRICULTURAL and INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTS”, such words EMBODYING THE OBSCURANTISM of DROPPING OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE that is the IMAGINARY component of the COMPLEX REAL + IMAGINARY WAVE-FIELD DYNAMIC.
NOTA BENE: The NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE IS THE FOUNDATIONAL REALITY WHILE THE LOCAL and EXPLICIT ‘MATERIAL CONDENSATIONS’ are SECONDARY ‘SCHAUMKOMMEN’ (APPEARANCE), as Bohm, Schroedinger and other Modern Physics interpreters have pointed out. This is why the less simple QUANTUM LOGIC ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ , which is the KAIROS (to everything there is a season) qualitative INCLUSIONAL understanding, is the first order understanding of reality while the simple CHRONOS (tempus fugit, the linear ‘passage of time’) is the quantitative understanding as in linear duration; ‘we do not have much time left in our lives’.
CHRONOS is the ONE-SIDED (MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING) realm of ‘what things do’ as in ‘done over time’ or CHRONOLOGICALLY as in GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT which is BINARY LOGIC based (were a ‘thing-in-itself’ is EITHER ounger and smaller OR older and larger) which says NOTHING about qualitative or androgynous change. If we use simple TIME as chronological development, we are using only the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING DEVELOPMENT and DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE, these two together supporting the LESS SIMPLE dynamic of TRANSFORMATION, which lies beyon reach of GROWTH which is a one-sided dynamic as if transpiring in EMPTY SPACE. KAIROS brings to bear then sense of ‘opportune timing’ which is no longer ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING.
To say “the seed sprouts”, is a ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING BINARY LOGIC TRUTH which implies ‘in an absolute empty and infinite space which is implies a CHRONOLOGICAL framing giving a LINEAR SEQUENCE of DEVELOPMENTAL EVENTS. However, our QUALITATIVE sense-experience is our feeling of being included in the arrival of the WARMTH of SPRING and this INCLUSIONAL SENSE-EXPERIENCE is beyond articulation in the SIMPLE TERMS of WHAT THINGS DO or HOW THINGS CHANGE which is all that BINARY LOGIC is capable of. CONCEPTUALIZATION that involves SENSE-EXPERIENCING OF INCLUSION entails LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC expression such as WITHIN THE SOLAR IRRADIATED INCUBATOR OF THE WARMING SOIL, the seed’s built-in understanding that ‘to everything there is a season and a time to every purpose was invoked so that the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING influence and the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING dynamic unfolded in CONJUGATE SYMBIOTIC RELATION, the OPPORTUNE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONTAINING CONDITION inducing conjugate expression of OPPORTUNE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING. Here we can see the QUANTUM LOGIC BOTH/AND RELATION where there is JUST ONE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM within which, a WHORLING or CONDENSATION giving the APPEARANCE of TWO when, in fact, there is only ONE; i.e. the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.
ONLY IF WE FOCUS SINGLE-MINDEDLY ON THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE (as if it were floating in absolute empty and infinite space) do we CONTRIVE the LINGUISTIC DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR BINARY LOGIC “LOCAL AUTHOR” based CONCEPTUALIZING of QUOTE/UNQUOTE “REALITY” .
ONCE we start speaking (using LANGUAGE based CONCEPTUALIZATION) wherein actions and results develop in a forward in time fashion, as if in an EMPTY SPACE (so that there is no ANDROGYNOUS relation) and employ ONE-SIDED MALE-ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING terms such as GROWTH, we OBSCURE the LESS SIMPLE (YET MORE TRUE) REALITY of ANDROGYNOUS TRANSFORMATION. While the SIMPLE abstraction of GROWTH goes together with CHRONOS, the LESS SIMPLE concept of TRANSFORMATION goes together with KAIROS. OVER TIME, so we say, the Colorado River ‘carved out’ the GRAND CANYON, but this PROMOTION of the MALE ASSERTING as the AUTHORING SOURCE, DROPS OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING DYNAMIC wherein it was the opening of the valley that seduced the coming together of male rivulets into streams and streams into a “RAGING RIVER” which we then say is the MALE ASSERTING AUTHOR of the CARVING OUT of the GRAND CANYON. This is a MISTAKE since it is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING VALLEY that inductively shaped the development of the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING RIVER. In other words, it is the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT that is the mother of the LOCAL and EXPLICIT, as also in the relation between KAIROS and CHRONOS.
One term — chronos— expresses the fundamental conception of time in measure, the quantity of duration, the length of periodicity, the age of an object or artifact, and the rate of acceleration as applied to identifiable bodies, whether on the surface of the earth or in the firmament beyond. The questions relevant to this conception of time are; ‘How fast?’, ‘How frequent?’, ‘How old’?’ and the answers to these questions can be given, in principle at least, in cardinal numbers or in terms of limits that approach these numbers. The other term —kairos— points to a qualitative character of time, to the special position an event or action occupies in a series, to a season when something appropriately happens that cannot happen at any time, but only at ‘that time’, in a time that marks an opportunity which may not recur. The question especially relevant to kairos time is ‘when?’, ‘At what time?’ ‘Kairos’, or ‘the right time’, as the term is often translated, involves ordinality or the conception of a special temporal position, … such that what happens benefits from being launched within a propitious, opportune moment for decision and action.
At the end of the day, one can see that QUANTUM LOGIC, like KAIROS, offers a LESS SIMPLE understanding of reality than the more simple BINARY LOGIC. which, like the more simple CHRONOS, offers us ONLY A SIMPLE LINEAR PROGRESSIVE CONCEPTUALIZING OF CHANGE as with GROWTH where the LESS SIMPLE ALTERNATIVE is TRANSFORMATION which takes us from CHRONOS to KAIROS.
We know how CONSTRUCTION ‘works’; i.e. we assume that there is an imaginary thing-in-itself such as a TOWN which is floating around in psychological empty space , naked and without any landscape to situate itself within, so that BUILDERS are given PLANS of the TOWN as if it will be possible to construct the TOWN and sit it down on top of the LANDSCAPE so that we do not have to admit to the true (sense-experience affirmed) reality wherein the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE is the PRIMARY REALITY and thus there is no such thing as the CONSTRUCTION of a TOWN, but there is instead, “TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”, and this “TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” is an ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING that we ourselves are included in.
So, while CHRONOS goes with SIMPLE GROWTH and BINARY LOGIC, KAIROS goes with LESS SIMPLE TRANSFORMATION and QUANTUM LOGIC.
“TO EVERY THING THERE IS A SEASON AND A TIME TO EVERY PURPOSE” affirms that it is only NATURAL to accept that WE ARE NOT INDEPENDENT BEINGS IN ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE as our BINARY LOGIC LANGUAGE HABIT leads us to believe and which has as ASSERTING DIRECTLY OUT OF OUR NOTIONAL LOCAL AUTHORING POWERS, but given that we are INCLUSIONS in the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM, it ‘makes sense’ for us to let our actions be shaped by the potentials for us to cultivate resonance in our relations within the world we share inclusion.
RECALL that Chronos is the time of the LOCAL, EXPLICIT Ego while Kairos is the time of the NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT Soul. While CHRONOS “DROPS OUT” the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE KAIROS EMBODIES IT. That is, CHRONOS and KAIROS are related in the same manner as the REAL and IMAGINARY components of the COMPLEX WAVE-FIELD.

How a ‘death in the family’ is transformation (quantum both/and logic) rather than a ‘loss’ (binary either/or logic) in accord with modern physics and indigenous aboriginal, Buddhist/Taoist and Advaita Vedanta understanding.
This understanding that the world dynamic is that of our inclusion in an all-including transforming relational continuum is consistent with Modern physics and indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta.
The indigenous aboriginal aphorism ‘mitakuye oyasin’ (everything is related) captures the Modern physics understanding of reality as an all-including, continually transforming, ENERGY-CHARGE-PLENUM (David Bohm), otherwise known as the WAVE-FIELD in which material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the WAVE-FIELD, so that we, ourselves, as CONDENSATIONS of the ONE ALL-INCLUDING WAVE-FIELD are QUANTUM LOGIC features that GATHER and SCATTER within the WAVE-FIELD, rather than ABSOLUTE MATERIAL BEINGS that move around and interact within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, which is the BINARY LOGIC based CONCEPTUALIZATION that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have built into our LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE.
Our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE based CONCEPTUALIZING, because it is BINARY LOGIC based, acknowledges ONLY THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE, DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE so that we speak, for example, in terms such as ‘the TOWN is growing’ (male asserting/actualizing only) without acknowledging the conjugate ‘shrinking of WILDERNESS’ (female accommodating/enabling conjugate).
In the WESTERN CULTURE over-simplistic BINARY LOGIC based CONCEPTUALIZING of ‘REALITY’ that we have given the FOUNDATIONAL ROLE TO in our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE, we speak in the BINARY LOGIC terms of BIRTH and DEATH, rather than in the Modern physics consistent QUANTUM LOGIC terms of CONDENSATION and ASSIMILATION wherein there are relational features that GATHER and SCATTER in the all-including fluid continuum (the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD).
The QUANTUM LOGIC REALITY is the REALITY as we know it from our SENSE-EXPERIENCE of inclusion therein as affirmed in our Modern physics understanding where, as Bohm (coming from modern physics) , ‘systems scientists’, and others are emphasizing;
“Space is not empty. It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.” — David Bohm
We live “in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence …” — György Jaros and Martine Dodds-Taljaard (International Society of Systems Sciences)
“Imagine there’s no countries It isn’t hard to do” —John Lennon, ‘IMAGINE’
