AUTHOR’S GUIDE to Reading this TWO-PART ESSAY

This ESSAY takes us through THE FOLLOWING POINT made by Nietzsche which is largely IGNORED in our standard WESTERN CULTURE interpreting of written material.

Although all concepts are metaphors invented by humans (created by common agreement to facilitate ease of communication), writes Nietzsche, human beings forget this fact after inventing them, and come to believe that they are “true” and do correspond to reality.

For example, we say ‘the TOWN IS GROWING’, and in so doing we emphasize ONLY the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate aspect AND DROP OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate ‘SHRINKING of WILDERNESS’, in which case ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’ does NOT refer to REALITY because the REALITY OF OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE is that the LANDSCAPE is TRANSFORMING which is the conjugate combination of PEAK (the TOWN is GROWING) and TROUGH (the WILDERNESS IS SHRINKING) which are dual aspects of the one WAVE-FIELD phenomenon.

[**NOTA BENE”  If we put on our LANGUAGE ARCHITECT HATS, we can see that had we chosen, as indigenous aboriginals did chose, as well as Modern physics, to give a foundational role to FLOW instead of to BEING, we would have retained in combined form the CONTAINER (SPACE) and CONTENT (MATTER).  If we had followed that path, as the indigenous aboriginals did, our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME would instead have avoided the BINARY LOGIC SPLIT into MATTER and SPACE and our understanding would be that EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX in which case what had appeared as EMPTY SPACE was instead an ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM and what had appeared as LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL objects was, INSTEAD, like WHORLINGS in FLOWING, ‘APPEARANCE’ since the WHORLING is BOTH itself and the FLOWING it is included in which means that the foundational structure of reality is a QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM based foundational structure.]

Had we taken that QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC-OF-THE-INCLUDING-MEDIUM linguistic conceptualizing approach, our linguistic conceptualizings would be more like “in the flowing, transforming PLENUM (the containing wave-field), there are WHORLINGS or CONDENSATIONS”, meaning that what APPEAR to be material forms (the whorlings) in the FLOWING PLENUM are instead the APPEARANCE of the PLENUM.  Thus the understanding is, for example, that “THERE ARE HUMANINGS and other CONDENSATIONS IN THE (nonvisible, nonlocal, implicit) PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD and EVERYTHING IS RELATED since all visible forms are CONDENSATION of the all-including energy-charged PLENUM, …

“I, you, he, she, we.  In the garden of mystic lovers, these are not true distinctions.” ― Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi

The Modern physics undestanding is that material forms are condensations of the all-including energy-charged PLENUM.  That is, “in the FLOWING, TRANSFORMING PLENUM (the CONTAINING WAVE-FIELD), we and all things are WHORLINGS or CONDENSATIONS (CONTENTS) which are INTERRELATED and INTERDEPENDENT as is the understanding in a FLOW-BASED LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE, and it is only when one uses a BEING and GRAMMAR (double error) based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME as we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS DO, that the simplifying metaphors we are obliged to use in our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING (when we assume a foundational role for BEING) make use of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR structure; e.g. ‘the TOWN is GROWING’.

What Nietzsche is saying is that the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION— “THE TOWN IS GROWING” — is a SIMPLIFYING METAPHOR that ALLUDES TO a LESS SIMPLE sense-experience REALITY, that of our INCLUSION in the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM wherein the WILDERNESS IS SHRINKING TOGETHER WITH THE TOWN GROWING; i.e. there are NOT TWO THINGS but ONLY ONE;i.e. the TRANSFORMING landscape within which there is TOWNING.

So Nietzsche’s point is that we come to think of PROPOSITIONS such as ‘the TOWN IS GROWING’ not only as TRUE, which does apply but is limited by being INCOMPLETE as affirmed by Goedel’s Theorem of the INCOMPLETENESS of ALL FINITE PROPOSITIONS OF LOGIC.  Here we can see that the LOGICAL TRUTH must not be mistaken for REALITY as is a COMMON ERROR in WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING.  “The TOWN is GROWING” is only APPEARANCE or in Schreodinger’s language “Schaumkommen”, and IS NOT “REALITY” (REALITY includes conjugate SHRINKING of WILDERNESS).

The REALITY is as captured in indigenous aboriginal flow-based languages and in Bohm’s Modern physics Rheomode language; i.e. the REALITY is that EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX which captures the understanding that what is going on is TRANSFORMATION while the expression “the TOWN is GROWING” is a METAPHOR (“a figure of speech in which an expression is used to refer to something that it does not literally denote in order to suggest a similarity”)

This example, ‘the TOWN is GROWING’, embodies an error, as is common in WESTERN CULTURE use of METAPHORS in INGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING. The ERROR is that the REALITY, which is NOT that ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ but instead that ‘THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’, has both a MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING aspect (there is TOWNING), and a FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING aspect (… “IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”) which exposes the “INCOMPLETENESS” of ALL (finite) LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS such as ‘the TOWN IS GROWING’ which is INCOMPLETE in stating that ‘the TOWN is GROWING” since if the TOWN is GROWING, the WILDERNESS must be CONJUGATELY SHRINKING, unless the TOWN were situated in an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE wherein TOWNS are seen as LOCAL and EXPLICIT and INDEPENDENT as the notional EMPTY SPACE HAS US IMAGINE THINGS WITHIN IT.  THIS ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING “ONLY” LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING wherein “THE TOWN IS GROWING” which is MISSING its conjugate FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS, is NOT REAL.

… all concepts are metaphors invented by humans (created by common agreement to facilitate ease of communication) …  human beings forget this fact after inventing them, and come to believe that they are “true” and do correspond to reality.

“THE TOWN IS GROWING” does NOT correspond with reality since we are living in a world wherein everything is in flux and where all things are related (mitakuye oyasin) here there are no ‘BEINGS’ as are needed to support the imputing of GROWTH where there is only, in sense-experience reality, TRANSFORMATION in which case it takes the SHRINKING of WILDERNESS for there to be a GROWING OF THE TOWN.
