First of all, LETS BE HONEST AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS’ UNDERSTANDING IS MORE CORRECT (AESTHETIC, NATURAL) THAN OUR WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENT UNDERSTANDING.  The indigenous aboriginal understanding is THAT WE ARE STRANDS IN THE WEB OF LIFE, meaning that WE ARE INCUDED IN A WORLD THAT IS GREATER THAN US which means that our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME which uses a SUBJECT-OBJECT SPLIT is IN ERROR.  Schroedinger REMINDS US THAT WE ARE INCLUDED IN THE WORLD, IT IS NOT SOME SEPARATE THING ‘OUT THERE”;

The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.” …Erwin Schroedinger

BUT SOMETHING IS LIMITING OUR WESTERN CULTURE THOUGHT AND UNDERSTANDING AND IT IS OUR LANGUAGE.

WE WESTERM CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE PACKING LIES INTO OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS THAT WE ARE CLAIMING TO BE ‘REALITY’!  Anthropologists like Jules Henry  and Ernest Becker and Psychiatrists like Ronald Laing are using STRONG WORDS to SHAKE US WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS BY OUR SHOULDERS to get us to WAKE UP TO OUR HUMONGOUS SCREW-UP that we passing on from generation to generation through our LANGUAGE and EDUCTION.

“It is Henry’s contention that in practice education has never been an instrument to free the mind and the spirit of man, but to bind them. We think we want creative children, but what do we want them to create? — ‘If all through school the young were provoked to question the Ten Commandments, the sanctity of revealed religion, the foundations of patriotism, the profit motive, the two party system, monogamy, the laws of incest, and so on … — there would be such creativity that society would not know where to turn. …  Children do not give up their innate imagination, curiousity, dreaminess easily. You have to love them to get them to do that. Love is the path through permissiveness to discipline; and through discipline, only too often, to betrayal of self.” R. D. Laing

OUR WESTERN CULTURE WORLD VIEW infused in us by our educators (… WINK-WINK, NUDGE-NUDGE, SAY NO MORE…) IS GROUNDED IN THE NOTION THAT WE ARE INDEPENDENT BEINGS LIVING IN INDEPENDENT NATIONS.  Every night the EVENING NEWS IS FEEDING US WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS DISTORTED VIEWS BASED ON LIES in a manner that brings to mind the RATCHETED FORCE-FEEDING of GEESE to PREPARE THEM FOR “PUBLIC SERVICE” AND WE GIVE OUR CHILDREN PRECIOUS LITTLE CHOICE BUT TO GO ALONG WITH the PACKAGE of BELIEFS’ MENTIONED by Laing, that support the “INDEPENDENT NATION” myth.

While teachings and understanding may seem LESS CONFUSED on the NATURE front than the CULTURE front, there is confusion in the mapping of the one into the other.

Those exploring the natural HARMONIES OF THE WORLD such as Johannes Kepler, author of ‘HARMONIES OF THE WORLD’, presumed that there was some INBUILT UNDERSTANDING of INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE in the world (which MODERN PHYSICS has shown us is because all material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the all-including ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM otherwise known as the WAVE-FIELD, which MATCHES the STRAND-IN-THE-WEB understanding of indigenous aboriginal cultures).   But such a system wherein everything is interconnected and interdependent conflicted with WESTERN CULTURE RELIGIOUS understandings which supported the INDEPENDENT EXISTENCE OF MAN within a DIVINE FRAMEWORK governed by GOD’S LAWS which have a BINARY LOGIC basis, informing us FROM ABOVE on how our behaviours, as INDEPENDENT BEINGS can be classified (JUDGED) as EITHER GOOD OR BAD.

This imputing of INDEPENDENT BEING to those material forms which in indigneous aboriginal cultures were seen as STRANDS IN THE WEB, removed the BEHAVIOUR-GUIDING INFLUENCE of RELATIONAL HARMONY that Kepler had discovered and documented in his classic work HARMONIES OF THE WORLD.  Isaac Newton’s SIMPLIFYING MODEL DROPPED OUT THE ASSUMPTION OF INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT MOVEMENTS of the PLANETS implicit in the overall HARMONIES of the WORLD by INTRODUCING a NOTIONAL ABSTRACT MATHEMATICAL REFERENCE FRAME that supported a mathematical DESCRIPTION of the MOVEMENT OF EACH PLANET SEEN AS AN INDEPENDENT ENTITY, DROPPING OUT ALL DEPENDENCY on the notional overall HARMONIES of the whole system.

As Newton stated, he was bothered by how there is something MISSING in his simple scientific model and it is ‘harmony’ in the sense of a pervasive over-all coordination as in the simultaneous mutual influence implicit in the gravity Field (he could not find mathematics that could capture this in a systems comprised of three or more bodies moving under their own simultaneous mutual influence).   In Newton’s view the difference between the actual world dynamic and the world dynamic as simulated through the laws of locally applied force, is ‘harmony’. In his words;

”… and the planets and comets will constantly pursue their revolutions in orbits given in kind and position, according to the laws above explained ; but though these bodies may, indeed, persevere in their orbits by the mere laws of gravity, yet they could by no means have at first derived the regular position of the orbits themselves from those laws. . . . This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being. And if the fixed stars are the centres of other like systems, these, being formed by the like wise counsel, must be all subject to the dominion of One.” — Newton, Scholium in the ‘Principia’

The ‘dominion of One’ and the harmony as associates with simultaneous mutual influence of all with all, is not only missing in Newton’s laws, as he openly says both in his Author’s prologue and in his summarizing Scholium, it is missing in our ‘scientized’ global social dynamic wherein we have used the scientific laws of locally applied force and direction to operationalize 195 ‘declared as INDEPENDENT’ sovereign states as local mechanical systems, without having addressed the issue of multi-body ‘simultaneous mutual influence’, which is built in to nature’s dynamic and which manifests in the self-organizing of community by way of the conjugate habitat-inhabitant dynamic (the all-including ‘Field’ effect).

OK, WITHOUT HIS KNOWING WHAT MODERN PHYSICS KNOWS; i.e. that MATERIAL FORMS ARE CONDENSATIONS OF THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD, and WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS NEW-TO-WESTERN-CULTURE KNOWLEDGE SUPPORTS THE STRAND-IN-THE-WEB INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE of our sense-experience reality as ACKNOWLEDGED AND EMPLOYED BY INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURES, WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS HAVE STUMBLED FORWARD, PLAGUED by the DYSFUNCTIONS of FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM that come with our having OPERATIONALIZED a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME GROUNDED (MISTAKENLY) in the BINARY LOGIC ABSTRACTION of INDEPENDENT MATERIAL OBJECTS IN ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE (A DYSFUNCTIONAL MISUNDERSTANDING THAT REMAINS OPERATIVE IN TODAY”S WESTERN CULTURE DOMINATED WORLD).

WHAT’S EVEN MORE SCREWED UP IS THAT WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS CONTINUE TO GIVE THIS FRAGMENTING AND OBSCURANTIST BINARY LOGIC BASED ABSTRACTION of LOCAL, EXPLICIT, (DISCONNECTED) MATERIAL BODIES AND THEIR ACTIONS AND INTERACTIONS AS IF WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE “THE FOUNDATIONAL ROLE” IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING OF QUOTE/UNQUOTE ‘REALITY” .

NO! NO! NO!  IT IS TIME TO DROP OUT OF OUR WESTERN CULTURE LIVES, THESE FRAGMENTING and OBSCURANTIST BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM LOCAL and EXPLICIT MATERIALIST PSEUDO-REALITY CONSTRUCTIONS and INSTEAD, as Modern physics and indigenous aboriginal cultures have done, ACKNOWLEDGE the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM wherein MATERIAL FORMS are CONDENSATIONS OF THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD.   

The indigenous aboriginal culture understands this and has RIGHTLY WARNED US WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS (as in ‘Chief Seattle’s speech), that WE ARE MISTAKEN IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS that speak in terms of our having CONSTRUCTED A TOWN and speak of the TOWN as if IT were capable of GROWING and DEVELOPING, which CREATES THE ILLUSION of the TOWN as a LOCAL, EXPLICIT THING-IN-ITSELF notionally situated within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE (linguistic conceptualizing that is ABSTRACT since our sense-experience informs us that what is actually going on is TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE wherein everything is INCLUDED within the all-including TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka the WAVE-FIELD).

THE POINT IS that IN SPITE OF OUR WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME which supports VOYEUR VIEWING of a TOWN-THAT-IS-GROWING-AND-DEVELOPING as an INDEPENDENT OBJECT THAT IS SEPARATE FROM OUR SELF, the REALITY IS that BOTH “WE” AND “THE WORLD” we are looking out at as if it were something SEPARATE and OUT THERE IN FRONT OF US (as if WE as the OBSERVING SUBJECT and the OBSERVED OBJECT are TWO SEPARATE THINGS that are INDEPENDENT OF ONE ANOTHER)… ARE JUST ONLY ONE, AS SCHROEDINGER IS POINTING OUT, AS IS AFFIRMED BY OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE.

LET’S NOT BE CONFUSED BY OUR SUBJECT and OBJECT SPLITTING LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME BREAKS US OUT OF OUR INCLUSION IN THE WORLD (too late, that is the current plight of WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS) wherein we use our ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME TO CONSTRUCT PSEUDO-REAL SCENARIOS such as ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’ where we synthetically (intellectually) SPLIT APART THE TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE which is ONE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM so that we can create, with our WESTERN CULTURE linguistic conceptualizing scheme, a SEPARATE STAND-ALONE, LOCAL and EXPLIT “TOWN” ( anotional thing-in-itself implicitly contained within an absract absolute empty and infinite space.

By using this type of LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, we can speak about ‘the TOWN’ as if it were a LOCAL, EXPLICIT THING-IN-ITSELF, and say things like; “HE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods and services” which is NOT THE REALITY THAT is affirmed by our sense-experience, i.e. our sense-experience affirmed REALITY is the REALITY affirmed by indigenous aboriginals and by MODERN PHYSICS which is the reality of an ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM which INCLUDES OURSELVES.;

“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)

“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)
