INTRODUCTION:

Schroedinger’s “SUBJECT AND OBJECT ARE ONLY ONE” is saying the same thing as Chief Seattle’s ….“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.”  This means that WE are NOT INDEPENDENT BEINGS because as Modern physics informs us, material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM (WAVE-FIELD) which accords with the indigenous aboriginal STRANDS IN THE WEB relation which is the NON-BINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM relation.

This essay explains the INSIDIOUS MISUNDERSTANDING that has been built into WESTERN CULTURE (and Judaic, Christian, Islamic) BELIEF IN BINARY LOGIC-based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING that is having a MAJOR IMPACT on the GLOBAL SOCIAL DYNAMIC through the spread of, and now globally popular use of BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM.  This (TOO-) SIMPLE LOGIC MISREPRESENTS the STRAND IN THE WEB as an INDEPENDENT BEING which leads to PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE (the IDENTIFYING and PUNISHING (or ELIMINATING) of the ‘PURPORTED LOCAL AUTHORS’ of VIOLENT or PROBLEMATIC ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS.   I say ‘PURPORTED LOCAL AUTHORS’, because, by contrast, Indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta JUSTICE IS RESTORATIVE due to the UNDERSTANDING that the AUTHORING of EVENTS (VIOLENT or OTHERWISE, is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT as in the STRAND in the WEB metaphor where the STRAND that becomes VIOLENT is so because it is VENTING a buildup of TENSIONS in the WEB in which case the STRAND that becomes VIOLENT is NOT THE AUTHOR of such VIOLENCE and this is why JUSTICE is RESTORATIVE, where the full community accepts responsibility for RELATIONAL DISSONANCE IN THE WEB  (the actual source of the VIOLENCE) and employs remedial responses such as “the HEALING CIRCLE” that do NOT fall prey to the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR as is the INSIDIOUS MISUNDERSTANDING OF WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE which WRONGLY IDENTIFIES “A LOCAL AUTHOR” of VIOLENCE even though the AUTHORING is actually NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) since it is coming through the WEB to the STRAND or in other words, THROUGH THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM to the CONDENSATION.

As Schroedinger points out, WE (WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS) ARE MISTAKEN IN OUR ATTRIBUTING OF the VIOLENCE of a STRAND to the STRAND since the STRAND (individual) in the WEB (social collective) is only the CONDUIT for the VENTING of TENSIONS that build within the WEB (social collective).

Here we are going to reaffirm the UNDERSTANDING that ARISTOTLE MISSED and which CONSTITUTES AN INSIDIOUS MISUNDERSTANDING in our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING APPROACH which I would call “THE TRADE-OUT OF THE REAL NON-BINARY BOTH/AND (ANDROGYNOUS) LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM STRUCTURE OF THE WORLD OF OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE for the TOO-SIMPLE, SYNTHETIC BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM WHEREIN WE ‘DROP OUT’ THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE, REDUCING THE ANDROGYNOUS BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM which is consistent with our SENSE-EXPERIENCE to the ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING OF BINARY LOGIC which is an INTELLECTUAL REDUCTION to a SIMPLE PSEUDO-REALITY WHICH IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE.  Here is an example of the REDUCTION;

********

-1- The FULL NON-BINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM CONCEPTUALIZATION which is consistent with INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING and consistent with MODERN (WAVE-FIELD based) PHYSICS:   “There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” which is a conceptualization wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX; i.e. there is NO DEPENDENCE ON EITHER/OR ‘BEING’ as the informing by means of this NON-BINARY LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING is purely RELATIONAL as supported by RELATIONAL FORMS that are CONDENSATIONS of the continually transforming ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM  aka WAVE-FIELD.

 

-2- THE COMMON WESTERN CULTURE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM CONCEPTUALIZATION which is given THE FOUNDATIONAL ROLE in our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING and consistent with NEWTONIAN MECHANICS based PHYSICS; “The TOWN (as a LOCAL, EXPLICIT THING-IN-ITSELF) is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods” which is a conceptualization employing the abstractions of ABSOLUTE MATERIAL BEING and ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE in a BINARY LOGIC based COMBINATION wherein ‘the TOWN is “PORTRAYED” AS IF ABLE TO GROW, DEVELOP and PRODUCE goods “BY WAY OF ITS OWN LOCAL AUTHORING POWER” as if it were situated within “AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE”.

ACHTUNG!  NOTA BENE!  This next ‘understanding’ plays the FOUNDATIONAL ROLE in the INSIDIOUS MISUNDERSTANDING.

 

Plato clearly distinguished between Heraclitus’ SIMULTANEOUS unity and plurality of the cosmos and Empedocles’ SEPARATE PERIODS OF Love and Strife.  At the same time, they are mentioned together as both alike  in believing in the unity and plurality of the cosmos; and Aristotle’s coupling of the two might conceivably have been motivated by the Platonic comparison, the important distinction between them being overlooked.” -Kirk, Raven et al, The Prosocratic Philosophers.<.mark>

 

This MISTAKE of trading out, by way of our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, the NATURAL SIMULTANEOUS NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT unity and plurality of the cosmos, BY SUBSTITUTING IN ITS PLACE, the UNNATURAL SEQUENTIAL LOCAL and EXPLICIT independence and fragmentation by way of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR (Nietzsche) PSEUDO-REALITY based construction has inflicted us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS with a FRAGMENTED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING of that which in our SENSE-EXPERIENCE IS the NATURAL SIMULTANEOUS NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT unity and plurality, … AS IS ACKNOWLEDGED IN FLOW-BASED LANGUAGES such as INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL languages and as in BOHM’S ‘Rheomode’ language.

 

The WESTERN CULTURE SUBSTITUTING of SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM for the Modern physics grounded and indigenous aboriginal standard of NON-BINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM is providing us with a SIMPLIFIED BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME at the EXPENSE OF the DROPPING OUT OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE (the DEA ABSCONDITA or Goddess in Hiding) which gives us a stripped down BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME supported ONLY by notional INDEPENDENT MATERIAL OBJECTS as if WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, which we ANIMATE (in our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS) with the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR.

 

ACHTUNG!  NOTA BENE!   PROBLEMO!  (the DROP OUT OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE which renders IMPOSSIBLE the conveying of WAVE-FIELD dynamics since we are leaving ourselves with a mess of INDEPENDENT MATERIAL OBJECTS situated within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE which we must ANIMATE with GRAMMAR and where THERE IS NO CAPABILITY OF TRANSFORMATION, only MECHANICAL INTERACTION.  This is the source of INSIDIOUS MISUNDERSTANDING which as Bohm describes and gives UPFRONT NOTICE of in his classic ‘Wholeness and the Implicate Order’, … WARNING us of how this SHORTFALL in our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING is FRAGMENTING our UNDERSTANDING and literally DRIVING US CRAZY!  David Bohm has exposed our predicament in his LEADOFF CHAPTER (1) in  “WHOLENESS AND THE IMPLICATE ORDER”, copied here as follows;

 

1 FRAGMENTATION AND WHOLENESS

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.
