AUTHOR’S NOTE:

EGO INFLATION is a COMMON WESTERN CULTURE PSYCHOLOGICAL DYSFUNCTION that is the result of DISTORTED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS that TRADE OUT THE UNDERSTANDING OF OUR INCLUSION IN THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM for the MISTAKEN NOTION that we are INCLUDED IN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.

Modern physics and indigenous aboriginal cultures have the correct understanding that WE and ALL MATERIAL FORMS are CONDENSATIONS of the all-including, energy-charged PLENUM which can be alternatively visualized as STRANDS in an all-including WEB of interconnections and interdependencies.   This is why JUSTICE, as it is in indigenous aboriginal cultures, must be RESTORATIVE since emergent events derive from the confluence of influences coming from a complex matrix of interconnections and interdependencies visualizable as STRANDS in a WEB or CONDENSATIONS in a PLENUM.  This NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM model deals with NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT events that are purely relational.

WESTERN CULTURE JUSTICE, contrastingly, is PURIFICATIONIST, and orients to the ELIMINATION or PUNISHMENT of presumed LOCAL AUTHORS of VIOLENT EVENTS, seen as INDEPENDENT MATERIAL BEINGS moving about and interacting within a notional ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.  In this WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE, there is NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) influences being responsible.  While WESTERN CULTURE music may include songs like “There’s a thin line between love and hate” which tell the story of how abuse may persist over time without retribution until a limit is reached where there is an explosive response with invisible roots into the distant past.  This points to the over-simplicity of this BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM Perpetrator-Victim model which is based on the LOCAL, EXPLICIT actions and development of presumed INDEPENDENT agents operating in an EMPTY SPACE.

This essay concerns the manner in which different CULTURES are differently impacted by EGO INFLATION hence this AUTHOR’s NOTE drawing the readers attention to the fact that while indigenous aboriginals, because their understanding is that we are all strands in the interconnecting and interdependent WEB, have a difference sense of EGO than WESTERN CULTURE adherents, where the undrstanding is that the individual is an INDEPENDENT BEING with his/her own private powers of authoring actions and development.

How EGO BLOCKS WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS from UNDERSTANDING REALITY

 

The NAME OF THE DEVIL IS “DONALD TRUMP” is a title that borrows from the System’s Science “The NAME of the DEVIL is SUBOPTIMIZATION”  since, even through SUBOPTIMIZATION is DELUSIONAL, TRUMP is pursuing the SUBOPTIMIZING of the UNITED STATES as if the UNITED STATES were a SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT THING-IN-ITSELF, which is DEVILISHLY APPEALING and capable of gathering HERD support (to use Nietzsche’s metaphor), BUT AT THE SAME TIME, ENTIRELY UNREALISTIC since we all share inclusion within the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM wherein everything is INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT.

 

That is, in the Systems Science, the expression is … THE NAME OF THE DEVIL IS “SUBOPTIMIZATION”, which IN SPITE of all of the WARNINGS about how SUBOPTIMIZATION doesn’t work in a world where everything is INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT.   In fact, the issue is more than SUBOPTIMIZATION DOES NOT WORK, it is that SUBOPTIMIZATION IS A MAJOR SCREW-UP supported by NOTHING OTHER THAN EGO!  When we LET GO OF EGO, our understanding of things
