This account of The LIES my (WESTERN) CULTURE told me centres on ,

 

UPGRADING OUR (WESTERN CULTURE) “REASONING” (from LOCAL and EXPLICIT REASONING to NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT RELATIONAL UNDERSTANDING)

 

“Indeed, nothing has yet possessed a more naive power of persuasion than the error concerning being, as it has been formulated by the Eleatics, for example. After all, every word and every sentence we say speak in its favor. Even the opponents of the Eleatics still succumbed to the seduction of their concept of being: Democritus, among others, when he invented his atom. “Reason” in language — oh, what an old deceptive witch she is! I am afraid we are not rid of God because we still have faith in grammar.” – Nietzsche, ‘Twilight of the Idols’

 

WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS CANNOT POSSIBLY RESOLVE OUR PROBLEMS AS LONG AS WE STICK TO “REASON”.

TRUST ME in your reading of this short note in which I am pointing out WHAT’S WRONG WITH OUR CONVENTIONAL WESTERN CULTURE REASONING, to the point that you can ‘hear what I am saying’.  There is plenty of opportunity to ponder and criticize after UNDERSTANDING the points being shared but it is important to SUSPEND ONE’S KNEE-JERK REJECTIONS so that what may SOUND LIKE RADICAL OR ERRONEOUS UNDERSTANDINGS are DISMISSED or BLOCKED prior to being FULLY HEARD.

 

What we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have been doing with LANGUAGE is to swap out the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT for the LOCAL and EXPLICIT (THERE IS NO LOCAL AND EXPLICIT in the world of our sense-experience, IT IS ONLY APPEARANCE).
