P.S. to: … HERE IS 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 discussed in the previous [main] message prior to this P.S.).

For us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS TO UNDERSTAND 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.  In ERICH JANTSCH’S THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS, WE ARE NOT STUCK WITH THE CONSERVATIVE (LOWEST AWARENESS LEVEL 3) AND LIBERAL (NEXT TO LOWEST AWARENESS LEVEL 2)  STANDOFF BECAUSE THESE TWO BINARY OPPOSITE LEVELS, BEING BINARY, OFFER NO OTHER LOGICAL POSSIBILITIES, BUT BY SHIFTING FROM SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM to LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM (as with indigenous aboriginal “STRANDS IN THE WEB” and MODERN PHYSICS CONDENSATIONS OF THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, we OPEN THE 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 NATIONS where the participants are NOT all like DONALD TRUMP who insists on having everything HIS WAY.  CONSERVATIVES are ATTRACTED BY THE NON-COMPROMISING, SINGLE-MINDED POWER of LEVEL 1 AWARENESS, whereas LIBERALS are WILLING TO MAKE COMPROMISES THAT CONSERVATIVES WILL NOT ALLOW.   Because BOTH CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS are in the habit of using SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC, and because it is possible to ORGANIZE “EITHER” as a MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING HIGH PRESSURE TRANSMITTER or as a FEMALE ACCOMMMODATING/ENABLING SEDUCTIVE RECEPTOR.

 

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
