INTRODUCTION:  to THE LAYOUT OF THE NEEDED WAVE-BASED WORKING STRUCTURE OF THE WORLD.

RIGHT NOW, we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE USING A FORM OF LANGUAGE THAT IS FRAGMENTATATIVE, as Bohm has pointed out (as will be discussed in the body of this message that follows this INTRODUCTION).  THIS FRAGMENTATION in our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING IMPACTS OUR “AWARENESS” (are we intently engaging in a game of Bridge in the comfortable confines of a transatlantic ocean liner, or are inside of a metal torpedo rocketing through iceberg filled seas?  EVIDENTLY we have the power of AWARENESS that is capable of multiple LEVELS OF AWARENESS.

For us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS TO UNDERSTAND, COMPREHENSIVELY [AWARELY] WHAT IS GOING ON, WE HAVE TO SHIFT GEARS (IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING) FROM OUR USE OF TOO-SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM …  TO LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM.  This UPGRADE FROM THING-BASED LANGUAGE TO FLOW-BASED LANGUAGE GETS US OUT OF OUR CONSERVATIVE-LIBERAL POLARIZED HEAD-BUTTING STANDOFF which has us ARGUING about the REALITY that “WE ARE ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN”.   WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS SPLIT INTO TWO POLAR OPPOSED AWARENESS CAMPS that we label CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL, an EGO-based SPLIT deriving from the notion of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and DEVELOPMENTS that DOES NOT EXIST in indigenous aboriginal cultures with their sense of inclusion within an ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM which is akin to a STRANDS IN A WEB situation wherein everything is INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT (as captures in the aphorism MITAKUYE OYASIN [everything is related]). EVIDENTLY, there are DIFFERENT STROKES for DIFFERENT FOLKS, as has been described by ERICH JANTSCH and his “THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS” (TRANSFORMATION is the LEAST SIMPLE LEVEL followed by the LIBERAL LEVEL (where we are all interdependent and thus it makes sense to coordinate and form ALLIANCES, followed by the SIMPLEST AWARENESS LEVEL, the CONSERVATIVE LEVEL (where we are all INDEPENDENT) and stuck in a SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST competition.

WE ARE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, because we assume that we are INDEPENDENT, see ourselves as being CONSTRAINED TO ONE OR THE OTHER OF THE TWO SIMPLEST AWARENESS LEVELS, THE CONSERVATIVE LEVEL (LOWEST AWARENESS LEVEL 3 WHERE WE ARE INDEPENDENT) AND/OR LIBERAL AWARENESS LEVEL 2 (NEXT TO LOWEST AWARENESS LEVEL WHERE IT IS NATURAL TO FORM ALLIANCES).    THERE IS A STANDOFF HERE BECAUSE THESE TWO AWARENESS LEVELS ARE BOTH BINARY EITHER/OR OPPOSITE BASED LEVELS, AND BEING BINARY, OFFER NO OTHER LOGICAL POSSIBILITIES.

HOWEVER, BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC, IS NOT THE ONLY LOGIC IN EXISTENCE.  For example, the expression “To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose” EXEMPLIFIES NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM that is INHERENT and PERVASIVE IN NATURE (capturing the WAVE-FIELD base).

BY SHIFTING FROM SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM to LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM (as comes naturally to indigenous aboriginals with their “WE ARE ALL STRANDS IN THE WEB OF LIFE” understanding, which affirms an INTERCONNECTEDNESS and INTERDEPENDENCE consistent with MODERN PHYSICS CONDENSATIONS OF THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, we OPEN THE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING DOOR TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF AWARENESS, LEVEL 1 AWARENESS OF TRANSFORMATION. 

While LEVEL 3 CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS is based on THE INDEPENDENT NATION “DOING ITS OWN THING”, LEVEL 2 LIBERAL AWARENESS is based on an ALLIANCE of COOPERATING AGENTS where the participants are NOT all like DONALD TRUMP who insists on having everything HIS WAY.  CONSERVATIVES are ATTRACTED BY SIMPLE POWER OF LOCKSTEP UNITY, BY THE NON-COMPROMISING, SINGLE-MINDED POWER of LEVEL 3 AWARENESS, whereas LIBERALS are WILLING TO MAKE COMPROMISES SUPPORT BROADER BUT LESS EXPLICIT GOALS that allow COMPROMISES THAT CONSERVATIVES WILL NOT ALLOW.   Because BOTH CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS are in the habit of using SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC, there are ONLY TWO CHOICES BOTH OF WHICH ARE BINARY LOGIC BASED i.e. TO ORGANIZE AS A LIBERAL ALLIANCE of COOPERATING AGENTS OR TO ORGANIZE AS A CONSERVATIVE LOCKSTEP UNITY DIRECTED BY A SINGLE LEADER.

NOTE THAT THESE ARE BOTH BASED ON SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM where the OPERATING UNIT sees itself as an EGO-based INDEPENDENT GROUP (independent of the overall populace) which RATES their PERFORMANCE STRICTLY ON THEIR OWN POWERS, hence the reference to “THE LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM“ BUT WHAT ABOUT THE “NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM”?

The understanding of the MINER’S CANARY exemplies the LESS SIMPLE “BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM”.  WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS tend to AUTOMATICALLY employ BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM where situations crop up which need LOGIC based SORTING OUT, which is continually happening.  NOTA BENE!  indigenous aboriginal culture adherents AUTOMATICALLY use the LESS SIMPLE BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, an example of which is “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”.  This captures the understanding that (A) EVERYTHING IS IN CONTINUING FLUX, and (B) THERE IS A BOTH/AND RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN the TOWNING and the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE which means that the TOWNING IS AN “INCLUDED FEATURE WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”.  That is why we speak of a “BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM” as the STRUCTURE of this FEATURE (the TOWNING in the INCLUDING MEDIUM).

QUESTION: WHO HABITUALLY USES “BOTH/AND AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM?”   ANSWER; MODERN PHYSICS, INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURES, TAOISTS/BUDDHISTS and ADVAITA VEDANTA ADHERENTS.

COROLLARY QUESTION: WHO HABITUALLY USES “EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM?”   ANSWER: JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY and ISLAM.

WHAT CULTURAL DIFFERENCES DOES THIS DIFFERENT LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING USAGE PRACTICE LEAD TO?

THE USE OF THE BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM leads to the development of RESTORATIVE JUSTICE which is used in MODERN PHYSICS UNDERSTANDING OF REALITY, INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURE, TAOISM/BUDDISM and ADVAITA VEDANTA.  In this understanding, we see ourselves as CONDENSATIONS in an ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM (this has the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM RELATION) which is the equivalent of STRANDS in the WEB understanding of indigenous aborginals (this also has the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM).

When we employ this BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM in our THOUGHT and LANGUAGE, we are understanding that WE ARE ALL RELATED (INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT) as with STRANDS IN A WEB and CONDENSATIONS in the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.

THIS IS WHERE “RESTORATIVE JUSTICE COMES FROM, because as A STRAND IN THE WEB, WE CAN MOVE IN A MANNER THAT ALLOWS DISSONANCE TO UNFOLD (as when we DO NOT JUMP INTO THE RAGING STREAM TO SAVE THE CHILD THAT HAS SLIPPED IN AND IS ABOUT TO BE SWEPT OVER THE FALLS).

STIR UP VIOLENCE or WHERE WE CALM DOWN (SUBSUME) VIOLENCE and SUBSUME DISSONANCE, and thus… AND WHERE WE CULTIVATE HARMONY

There can be NO AUTHORING CREDIT and NO AUTHORING BLAME.  The THREE+ BODY PROBLEM IS ALWAYS OPERATIVE WITH STRANDS IN THE WEB.

“They were upright and correct without knowing that to be so was righteous. They loved one another without knowing that to do so was benevolence. They were sincere without knowing that to do so was loyalty. They kept their promises without knowing that to do so was to be in good faith. They helped one another without thought of giving or receiving gifts. Thus their actions left no trace and we have no records of their affairs” – Chuang Tzu

* * * * * * INSERT ANISHINABE QUOTE

to ORGANIZE “EITHER” as a MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING HIGH PRESSURE TRANSMITTER “OR” as a FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING SEDUCTIVE RECEPTOR is to SPLIT INTO TWO SEPARATE PIECES THE PEAK and TROUGH of the WAVE.  That is the MISTAKE of CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS THAT PUTS THEM INTO NEVER-ENDING POLARIZED OPPOSITION.  THEY MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CONTAINING SPACE IS NOT EMPTY BUT FULL AND IS THE SOURCE OF BOTH PEAK AND TROUGH.

“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.” (Bohm)

As we know from physical reality, these TWO BINARY LOGIC based LOCAL, EXPLICIT OPPOSITES OF CONSERVATIVE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING and LIBERAL FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING are SECONDARY TO THE PRIMARY AGENCY WHICH IS TRANSFORMATION as associates with SOLAR IRRADIANCE which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT.   WESTERN CULTURE, because it will NOT LET GO OF THE EGO-INFLATING NOTION OF LOCAL AUTHORING, which comes in TWO POLAR OPPOSITE FORMS (CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL), cannot do as INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS DO and ACCEPT THE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM otherwise known as TRANSFORMATION.

BECAUSE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS HAVE ABANDONED THE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM WHEREIN “TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON AND A TIME TO EVERY PURPOSE”, BY GIVING A FOUNDATIONAL ROLE in LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING TO “MATERIAL BEINGS” in “EMPTY SPACE”, BINARY LOGIC has NOT ONLY been given FOUNDATIONAL STATUS but it is NOW BLOCKING THE USE OF NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM; e.g. ONCE WE SPEAK IN THE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM based TERMS OF TOWNS as BEING-BASED THINGS that are GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods, WE HAVE ESTABLISHED A BEING based PSEUDO-REALITY IN WHICH THERE ARE “THINGS THAT GROW” SUCH AS A FIELD OF WHEAT as if within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.  Indigenous aboriginals would, by contrast, be using VERB-based language that acknowledges that everything is in flux, as with “WHEATING IN THE TRANSFORMING PLENUM”.

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. …”

THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT “GONE AWAY”, it is a PROBLEM that PERVADES WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING and the (MIS-) UNDERSTANDINGS THAT ARE COMING FROM OUR WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, where we FRAGMENT into CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS who are grounding our understanding in TOO-SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM, … and as a result, are unable to GRASP (in our LINGUISTIC INTELLECTUAL CONCEPTUALIZATIONS) “TRANSFORMATION” which is LESS SIMPLE, being based on NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM as where we ACKNOWLEDGE IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS THAT “EVERYTHING IS IN TRANSFORMATIVE FLUX” as with “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” which is the “BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM kind of language employed by INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS, TAOISTS/BUDDISTS and ADVAITA VEDANTA ADHERENTS.

This kind of language is like the OLD FASHIONED KIND OF ENGLISH WE USED TO USE where we said things like

“TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON AND TIME TO EVERY PURPOSE”  (note our implied inclusion in a changing world that inductively shapes our actions.  This does not say that WE ARE NOT IN CHARGE OF OUR OWN BEHAVIOUR, but it reminds of of the GOEDEL’S THEOREM “INCOMPLETENESS” OF ALL FINITE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS; i.e. while it is generally TRUE that we are the AUTHOR of our actions and developments, it is INCOMPLETE as this aphorism, and the one below are telling us)

… and/or as in Shakespeare’s JULIUS CAESAR;

“THERE IS A TIDE IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN,
WHICH, TAKEN AT THE FLOOD, LEADS ON TO FORTUNE;
OMITTED, ALL THE VOYAGE OF THEIR LIFE
IS BOUND IN SHALLOWS AND IN MISERIES.”  (note our implied inclusion in a changing world that inductively shapes our actions)

THIS RELATES TO THE “FRAGMENTATION” THAT Bohm is referring to, because we MODERN WESTERN CULTURE folks tend to FOLLOW ORDER, as in THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE where our actions may be LEMMMING-LIKE in which case we DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE AMBIENT UNFOLDING SITUATIONAL PARTICULARS, but have passed over control to our INTELLECT which is CONCENTRATING ON OUR “TO – DO” LIST OF CHORES, so that our ACHIEVING OF OUR DESTINATION “TAKES OVER” and puts the BIT in our TEETH, e.g. “Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail shall keep the postmen from their appointed rounds.” 

WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY INTELLECTUALLY DRIVEN IN OUR ACTIONS.  WE ARE IN A HURRY TO ACHIEVE OUR OBJECTIVES AND OUR HIGHWAY CRASHES DUE TO OUR PLAYING WITH OUR CELL PHONES WHICH IS BLOCKING OUR AWARENESS OF THE ENVIRONMENTALLY GROUNDED “TIDE IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN” which calls to us from our unfolding environmental situation rather than from the calculations of our intellect, as suggested in Mary Oliver’s “WILDGEESE”

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting–
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

OK, I WANT TO KEEP THIS SHORT BUT NOT SO SHORT THAT THE POINTS IS NOT ‘WELL-MADE’.  The POINT IS SUBTLE AND WESTERN CULTURE AS A COLLECTIVE “IS NOT GETTING IT”; i.e. you can see
