The ANSWER, IN SHORT, IS  “WESTERN CULTURE BLINDNESS TO THE REALITY OF TRANSFORMATION” … and its SUBSTITUTION OF “LOCAL AUTHORING”.

EAST and WEST were ON THE SAME PAGE as far as Lao Tzu and Heraclitus were concerned; i.e. they both believed that EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX; i.e. that REALITY is a TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM (more recently termed a WAVE-FIELD),  and in this understanding, material forms are understood as APPEARANCES in the manner of WHORLINGS in FLOWING, and thus NOT PHYSICALLY having the BEING and the SHAPES and BOUNDARIES and MOVEMENTS that have been IMAGINED to come with the WESTERN CULTURE BINARY LOGIC based ‘PACKAGE’ of OBSERVABLE FORMS that appear to be moving WITHIN an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.  BUT THERE IS NO SUCH EMPTY SPACE AND THERE ARE NO SUCH SEPARATE MATERIAL FORMS IN THAT NON-EXISTENT EMPTY SPACE; i.e. THERE IS NO SUCH BINARY LOGIC STRUCTURE, there is only TRANSFORMATION which manifests the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM as describes, for example, CONDENSATIONS in the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM (wherein space is FULL, not EMPTY).  This  BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM describes the MODERN PHYSICS CONDENSATIONS OF THE PLENUM UNDERSTANDING OF REAILTY.  It also describes the STRANDS-IN-THE-WEB and CONDENSATIONS-of-the-PLENUM understandings of reailty.  The Indigenous aboriginal people have historically had this same sense of NATURE as ONE , wherein EVERYTHING IS RELATED (mitakuye oyasin) by virtue of being INCLUDED in an INTERCONNECTING and INTERDEPENDING manner, as with CONDENSATIONS in the PLENUM and as with STRANDS in a WEB.

(NOTA BENE: the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM is LESS SIMPLE than the EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM yet it is COMMON in WESTERN CULTURE to MISTAKENLY employ simple BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM where what is required is less simple BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM.  

“Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it.  Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.” —Chief Seattle

The understanding here is that we two-leggeds, the four-leggeds, the winged and crawling ones and all related (mitakuye oyasin means everything is related) as is affirmed by ourselves and all things being CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-INCLUDING WAVE-FIELD.

WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT “CHANGE” IS TRANSFORMATION OF THE OVERALL WEB.  IF A STRAND ‘DIES’, ALL STRANDS IN THE WEB ARE IMPACTED, INCLUDING OURSELVES, WHICH IS ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING THAT “THE ONLY REAL DYNAMIC IS TRANSFORMATION” BECAUSE OF THE INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT STRUCTURE OF STRANDS IN THE ALL-INCLUDING WEB AKA CONDENSATIONS IN THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.

It is understood in indigenous aboriginal culture that‘everything is related’ (mitakuye oyasin)  which is why there is CARING for all forms of life including the old moss-covered rocks.

“An indigenous aboriginal worldview sees spirit in all living and non-living things, so that rocks, water, and soil all have spirit to them.  Water is considered to be sacred, not only for what it does for the human body and environment but because of this spirit.”

 

This following TWO PARAGRAPHS are of CRITICAL IMPORTANCE in pointing to the source of WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL DYSFUNCTION

THE WESTERN CULTURE PROBLEM WITH LANGUAGE: … The WESTERN CULTURE MISTAKEN use of SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM based LOCAL AUTHORING TO EXPLAIN ‘CHANGE’, … IN PLACE OF LESS SIMPLE (QUANTUM ) BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM based TRANSFORMATION, … OBSCURES THE REALITY OF OUR INCLUSION IN THE ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM, and SUBSTITUTES THE MISTAKEN IMPRESSION OF INDEPENDENT BEINGS INTERACTING WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, which leads to, among other ERRORS, THE OVER-SIMPLISTIC PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE of WESTERN CULTURE (the removal of BINARY LOGIC-defined “bad beings” while protecting and proliferating “good beings”) instead OF THE LESS SIMPLE BUT SENSE-EXPERIENCE GROUNDED RESTORATIVE JUSTICE OF INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS, TAOISTS/BUDDHISTS AND ADVAITA VEDANTA which comprehends that EVERYTHING IS RELATED and THERE ARE NO “INDEPENDENT BEINGS” and thus THERE ARE NO “LOCAL AUTHORIS”.  RESTORATIVE JUSTICE acknowledges that EVERYTHING IS RELATED and that we are all CONDENSATIONS of the ONE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED TRANSFORMING PLENUM  (as with the BOTH/AND relationship of “STRANDS IN A WEB”) consistent with Modern physics, while WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE is MISTAKENLY BASED on INDEPENDENT ‘BEING’ based entities who are notionally DISCONNECTED and isolated from one another by a notional ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE. …….. The UNDERSTANDING here is that WE ARE INCLUDED IN THE ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING CONTINUUM WHEREIN EVERYTHING IS INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT (as with STRANDS IN A WEB) AND IT IS ONLY WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSTRUCTIONS that MISTAKENLY SPLIT US APART (in our psyche ONLY) INTO “INDEPENDENT BEINGS” and “INDEPENDENT NATIONS”, thus having a PROFOUND SHAPING INFLUENCE on our WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL DYNAMIC due to our elevating of the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING in terms of NAMING-instantiated INDEPENDENT BEING that is being used to construct an ABSTRACT PSEUDO-REALITY that has been ADOPTED by WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS as their/our OPERATIVE REALITY, which is the SOURCE of FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM.  Bohm has spoken of this WESTERN CULTURE PROBLEM of infusing FRAGMENTATION into our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, as follows;

THE RESULTANT WESTERN CULTURE AFFLICTION of BINARY LOGIC based FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM

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.

 

HOW ABOUT US “HUMANS” which In Modern physics, as also in indigenous aboriginal languistic conceptualizing, are described as “HUMANINGS” that are FEATURES in the all-including TRANSFORMING CONTINUUM and NOT “INDEPENDENT BEINGS” with “OUR OWN POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING” in which case we are NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT as is the nature of FEATURES within the TRANSFORMING CONTINUUM, meaning that WE ARE NOT LOCAL and EXPLICIT as in the BINARY LOGIC based WESTERN CULTURE VIEW.

In a FLOW-BASED WORLD, the WHORLINGS IN THE FLOWING”APPEAR” LOCAL and EXPLICIT (i.e. we describe WHAT WE SAY are THEIR SHAPES and THEIR MOVEMENTS but the reality is that THE DIFFERENT FORMS we are looking at and describing ARE CONDENSATIONS OF THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM or TRANSFORMING CONTINUUM.

APPEARANCES CAN GET THE BEST OF US, particularly if we INCORRECTLY ENCODE THEM INTO LANGUAGE WHERE WE KEEP REPEATING THE SAME ERRORS TO OURSELVES OVER AND OVER AGAIN.  In this regard, WESTERN CULTURE HAS BUILT INTO ITS LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, that there is a polethora of independent beings running around and interacting with one another WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE?  SHOULD WE BELIEVE IT?

 

NO! NO! NO!   We are INCLUSIONS (CONDENSATIONS) WITHIN A TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka THE WAVE-FIELD.  THE ONLY “REAL” DYNAMIC IS THE ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMATION.  THERE IS NO “MOVEMENT OF THINGS”.  THAT IS NO MORE THAN A DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR AS NIETZSCHE SAYS.

THINK “TRANSFORMATION” IN ALL SITUATIONS AND WITH ALL PHENOMENA.  WHEN WE START THINKING IN TERMS OF “THE MOVEMENT OF NAMED THINGS” AND/OR “THE CHANGES TO NAMED THINGS” AND/OR “THE INTERACTIONS OF NAMED THINGS”, .. BACK UP AND INSTEAD SEEK UNDERSTANDING IN TERMS OF TRANSFORMATION, NOT “OF WHAT”, JUST “TRANSFORMATION” BY WAY OF “CHANGING RELATIONS” WITHOUT OPENING THE DOOR TO ‘THINGS-THAT-BE”. RECALL THAT WHORLINGS IN FLOWING CONCERNS SHAPES THAT ARE APPEARANCES and therefore “THEY DO NOT MOVE” because there is no “THEY” and “THEY DO NOT CHANGE” beause there is no “THEY”, and “THEY DO NOT INTERACT” because there is no “THEY”.   (WE NEED A VERB-BASED LANGUAGE WHICH ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EVERY”THING” IS IN FLUX AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE ARE ONLY “RELATIONS” as is the meaning of “MITAKUYE OYASIN”.

 

The NEXT TIME WE CATCH OURSELVES PUTTING TOGETHER LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS WHEREIN “THINGS ARE MOVING AND INTERACTING” .. STOP!  RECALL THAT THERE IS NO RETURN PATH because EXPRESSING THINGS IN BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC, AS IS IMPLIED WHERE THINGS ARE MOVING AND INTERACTING,  REQUIRES THE DROPPING OUT OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE  aka THE BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM. The INCLUDING MEDIUM is what ties everything together as in the case of CONDENSATIONS of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM which are INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT.

BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC based PSUEDO-REALITY IS NOT (SENSE-AFFIRMABLE) REALITY!  SENSE-AFFIRMABLE REALITY IS TRANSFORMATION wherein material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM. THIS “DEMANDS” “the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM”.  ONCE BINARY LOGIC IS INVOKED, ITS A CASE OF; …. “TOTO, I HAVE A FEELING WE’RE NOT IN KANSAS ANY MORE!”.  That is, the BINARY LOGIC based FRAGMENTING OF THE PLENUM INTO SEPARATE PARTS WITH THEIR OWN MOVEMENTS, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION TAKES US OUT OF TRANSFORMING REALITY, PUTTING US INTO A STATIC PSEUDO-REALITY WHEREIN TRANSFORMING IS SUSPENDED WHILE FRAGMENTATION (into one-sided MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING) and OBSCURANTISM (by dropping out the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING)… TAKE OVER.

NOTA BENE: the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM is the less simple  (that BINARY EITHER/OR) LOGIC is needed to convey in LANGUAGE the STRUCTURE of our universe as undestood through our SENSE-EXPERIENCE.  The LESS SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED medium DROPS OUT the female accommodating/enabling conjugate, thus REDUCING our incorporating into our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM (wherein the medium is the energy-charged plenum within which there are condensations), and this SIMPLIFIED BINARY LOGIC pseudo-reality is has become the WESTERN CULTURE mainstream standard for linguistic conceptualiziations. The POPULARIZING of BINARY LOGIC is the source of the DROPPING OUT of the FOUNDATIONAL ROLE in LANGUAGE of the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT and ERRONEOUSLY ELEVATING the BINARY LOGIC based LOCAL and EXPLICIT to an UNNATURAL PRECEDENCE over the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT as made possible by the SUBSTITUTING of ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE OF INFINITE EXTENT, reducing our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS from their FLUID (NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT) basis, to a MECHANISTIC LOCAL and EXPLICIT basis.  Instead of the FLUID ‘THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’, which incorporates both the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE) TOGETHER WITH THE LOCAL AND EXPLICIT (THE GROWING, DEVELOPING, PRODUCING TOWN), we THROW OUT the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE and substitute ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE as the new CONTAINER for the LOCAL and EXPLICIT ‘TOWN THAT IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods’.  In other words, we REDUCE the ANDROGYNOUS (WAVE-FIELD based) “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” to the one -sided MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING”  which is now LOCAL and EXPLICIT, blinding us to TRANSFORMATION “

 * * * * * * * * END OF CONVEYING THE ESSENTIAL FINDING IN THIS PHILOSOPHICAL INVESTIGATION * * * * * *

This is what Schroedinger is intending when speaking of material forms as Schaumkommen (APPEARANCE).  He is saying that we are living in a FLUID REALITY as Heraclitus contended where WHAT APPEARS to be LOCAL and EXPLICIT is, instead, NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT.   This is the case with FLOW and the APPEARANCE of FLOW where there are, for example, WHORLINGS IN THE FLOWING, … where the moment we refer to them using our WESTERN CULTURE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR based LANGUAGE, we are hatching a BASTARDIZED PSEUDO-REALITY wherein we are DUMBING DOWN our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING OF REALITY from “TRANSFORMATION” wherein everything is in flux (meaning THERE ARE NO THINGS, only FLOW-FORMS), … to A MECHANISTIC PSEUDO-REALITY.

 

WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IS OVERALL, ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMATION wherein WHAT LOOKS LIKE SOLID FORMS IS “APPEARANCE”, “SCHAUMKOMMEN” that we can compare to WHORLINGS in FLOWING where it is OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that RE-CASTS these WHORLINGS in the FLOWING wherein the overall reality is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (= a WAVE-FIELD) as LOCAL, EXPLICIT “WHORLS” (thanks to BEING based NAMING) notionally WITH THEIR OWN POWER of AUTHORING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTG) so that we make it appear as if WHORLS are the AUTHORS OF WHORLING and thus we INVENT LOCAL AUTHORING.  Where have we heard this before?. 

 

 

Our judgement has us conclude that every change must have an author”;–but this conclusion is already mythology: it separates that which effects from the effecting. If I say “lightning flashes,” I have posited the flash once as an activity and a second time as a subject, and thus added to the event a being that is not one with the event but is rather fixed, “is” and does not “become.”–To regard an event as an “effecting,” and this as being, that is the double error, or interpretation, of which we are guilty.” – Nietzsche, ‘Will to Power’, 531

 

 

OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE INFORMS US THAT WE SHARE INCLUSION IN THE NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM, … SO THE LOCAL and EXPLICIT CONCEPTUALIZING IS WRONG (it is a DOUBLE ERROR BASED ABSTRACTION), but such REDUCTION of the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT is characteristic of WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING because of our LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE which is DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE and “GOING WITH” the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE AS IF IT EXISTED “ON ITS OWN”.

 

TRANSFORMATION IS THE TRANSFORMING WAVE-FIELD WHICH IS EVERYWHERE AT THE SAME TIME.  I.E. TRANSFORMATION is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT but the FORMS that develop within THE TRANSFORMING are TREATED OF in WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE as if they were LOCAL, EXPLICIT, MATERIAL THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES which THEY ARE NOT!   TRANSFORMATION MAY MANIFEST AS WHORLINGS IN FLOWING.  THE WHORLINGS ARE ‘APPEARANCE’ AND WE CANNOT CATCH THEM IN A BUCKET AND PULL THEM OUT AND PUT THEM IN SEPARATE STORAGE because the WHORLINGS are ONLY APPEARANCE which is how TRANSFORMATION MANIFESTS WITHIN A FLOW FIELD.
