The CONSEQUENCES of the REALITY that SPACE IS NOT EMPTY

Author’s Preface: 

WESTERN CULTURE has evolved a STANDARD LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING HABIT which DROPS OUT acknowledgement that we are included in an ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM and therefore WE ARE “NOT”, as we commonly make out to be the case in our everyday speech, INCLUDED IN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES are engendered as a CONSEQUENCE of the REALITY that SPACE IS NOT EMPTY while our LANGUAGE PRETENDS that it IS EMPTY.

BY using LANGUAGE that REDUCES THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM to EMPTY SPACE, we SIMPLIFY our CONCEPTUALIZATIONS of REALITY in that we need concern ourselves, as far as our language is concerned, ONLY with actions that are MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING such as ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’ (as if within an EMPTY SPACE) in which case we make no accounting for the CONJUGATE ‘SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS’ and thus we OBSCURE the overall reality of the TRANSFORMING of the LANDSCAPE, and push ahead with LANGUAGE that has us IMAGINING what we call “GROWTH” of the TOWN when THERE IS NO SUCH THING as “GROWTH” in the REAL WORLD of our SENSE EXPERIENCE which is informing us of the TRANSFORMING of the LANDSCAPE, … AS IS CAPTURED IN INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES, and as Bohm and Alan Watts and others point out “WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS SHOULD BE CAPTURING TRANSFORMATION RATHER THAN GROWTH IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME”.

We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, because of the SIMPLIFICATIONS we have built into our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME such as the SUBSTITUTING of EMPTY SPACE for the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, has allowed us to conceive of ourselves AS IF WE ARE LIVING IN A REALITY THAT FEATURES “GROWTH”, “DEVELOPMENT” and “PRODUCTION” of goods, while all the while, and as the LANGUAGES of indigenous aboriginals and MODERN PHYSICS are reporting, WE ARE INCLUDED WITHIN A TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.  So, there is a PROBLEM here and it is not just that “GROWTH”, “DEVELOPMENT” and “PRODUCTION” are “TOO SIMPLE” and fail to capture the reality we affirm with our sense-experience, the PROBLEM is that we are CONSTRUCTING WITH LANGUAGE, A SUBSTITUTE REALITY based on MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ONLY while our SENSE-EXPERIENCE “IS INFORMING US DIRECTLY OF OUR INCLUSION IN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM” wherein “EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX” as Heraclitus said, and as is the understanding of Modern physics, Indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta.

WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, in order to remove ourselves from the deepening PROBLEMS of FRAGMENTATION of OBSCURANTISM pointed out by Bohm, need to be using a FLOW-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME and BREAK OUR HABIT of speaking in the FALSE TERMS of GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION whereby we MAKE THE MISTAKE of constructing SIMPLIFIED PSEUDO-REALITIES which we are SUBSTITUTING for our SENSE-EXPERIENCE GROUNDED REALITY”, a MISTAKE that is the SOURCE of FRAGMENTATION.

1 FRAGMENTATION AND WHOLENESS  (from Wholeness and the Implicate Order, David Bohm, 1980)

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.

Thus art, science, technology, and human work in general, are divided up into specialities, each considered to be separate in essence from the others. Becoming dissatisfied with this state of affairs, men have set up further interdisciplinary subjects, which were intended to unite these specialities, but these new subjects have ultimately served mainly to add further separate fragments. Then, society as a whole has developed in such a way that it is broken up into separate nations and different religious, political, economic, racial groups, etc. Man’s natural environment has correspondingly been seen as an aggregate of separately existent parts, to be exploited by different groups of people. Similarly, each individual human being has been fragmented into a large number of separate and conflicting compartments, according to his different desires, aims, ambitions, loyalties, psychological characteristics, etc., to such an extent that it is generally accepted that some degree of neurosis is inevitable, while many individuals going beyond the ‘normal’ limits of fragmentation are classified as paranoid, schizoid, psychotic, etc.

Bohm ALERTED US TO THIS PROBLEM TO US” in 1980, highlighting the FRAGMENTATION that we are creating by way of our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING scheme which is giving a foundational role to the MISTAKE of our SUBSTITUTING ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE for the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM ( “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). 

So, in our sense-experience affirmed reality, and as captured in the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING schemes of Modern physics, indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta, THE STUFF what we Western Culture Adherents are continuing to MISTAKENLY refer to as an “empty space dotted with material fragments”, …  is the all-including WAVE-FIELD aka ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.

We are now in the year 2025, 45 years after Bohm’s warning and we are experiencing continuing FRAGMENTATION as in the POLARIZING CONFLICT in WESTERN CULTURE “POLITICS” between CONSERVATIVES (Republicans) and LIBERALS (Democrats).  Both factions are falling into the TRAP of using, for their understanding, the too simple BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM, the LOGIC of CLASSICAL PHYSICS instead of the needed NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, the LOGIC of MODERN PHYSICS which is also the LOGIC of indigenous aboriginals which supports a REALITY WHEREIN SPACE IS NOT EMPTY, WHERE LOGIC IS NONBINARY.  When we use NONBINARY LOGIC, our awareness opens up to the INTERCONNECTEDNESS and INTERNDEPENDENCE of all material forms as with indigenous aboriiginal STRANDS IN THE WEB.  Here, the origin of actions and developments is understood to be NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT, calling for RESTORATIVE JUSTICE, rather than PUNITIVE/PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE.  PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE is based on “APPEARANCE” of actions and developments that are MISTAKENLY assumed to be LOCAL and EXPLICIT.

Because the FOCUS is on the particular STRAND in the web that is manifesting VIOLENT ACTION, that STRAND is easily (BUT MISTAKENLY) conceived of as a LOCAL and EXPLICIT SOURCE OF VIOLENCE.  The REALITY is that the VIOLENT ENERGY is of NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT origin, deriving from TENSIONS that HAVE BEEN BUILDING IN THE SOCIAL RELATIONAL WEB; i.e. in the relational matrix of the INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT social collective.

This completes the AUTHOR’S PREFACE to introduce what this essay, The CONSEQUENCES of the REALITY that SPACE IS NOT EMPTY, is ALL ABOUT.

The CONSEQUENCES of the REALITY that SPACE IS NOT EMPTY

“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). 

The benefits of POPULARIZING THE USE OF THE WORD “PLENUM” in place of the word “SPACE” to dispel the false notion that we are included in an inert, dead, inconsequential NOTHINGNESS which has forced “us” WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS to come up with a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that RELOCATES the SOURCING AGENCY that permeates the world WITHIN MATERIAL OBJECTS?

YES, I KNOW,…  WESTERN CULTURE PEOPLE LOVE TO CLAIM AUTHORSHIP FOR ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT.  What would “A DONALD TRUMP” DO WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO CLAIM AUTHORSHIP of “DEVELOPMENTS” such as a pause in some or other LOCAL CONFLICT?   HOWEVER, NO-ONE has ever disproved Nietzsche’s observation that LOCAL AUTHORING is a SYNTHETIC FABRICATION that we simply CONSTRUCT using the “DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING and GRAMMAR” such as ‘TRUMP DID SUCH AND SUCH”, “PUTIN DID SUCH AND SUCH”, or MUSSOLINI is a SUPER-ACHIEVER, which makes the swarming anthill of our world out to be FAR SIMPLER than it actually is.

I GET IT, … as Lao Tzu said, ‘the Tao that can be told is not the true Tao’.  People and things are continually emerging ‘from the woodwork’ and being reclaimed and if we persist in our observations for long enough, we see a PLENUM within which forms are continually emerging and subducting, kind of like VOLCANOES which are like slow-moving fountains in a FLUID-DYNAMICAL WORLD.  As Heraclitus famously said, EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX.

Given this fluid reality, indigenous aboriginals CHOSE WELL in developing a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING scheme that is FLOW-BASED where one speaks in terms of the material forms belonging to an INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT DYNAMIC, avoiding such as absolutes as JOHN DUNBAR, a material form that we have to use GRAMMAR to animate, … and going instead with “DANCES WITH WOLVES” which employs DYNAMIC RELATIONS in the foundational role, as Modern physics researchers is necessary, as they illustrated with the example of the SURPRISE VERSION OF THE GAME OF TWENTY QUESTIONS (as Wittgenstein had also, previously come up with) in order to use a RELATIONAL MATRIX to describe the world, avoiding DEPENDENCY on the ABSOLUTE of MATERIAL BEINGS such as JOHN DUNBAR which were INDEPENDENT of the world, as if situated within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE which it was up to the AUTHOR of the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION, to FILL IN with his preferred selection of supportive ‘scenarios’.

The movie ‘Dances with Wolves’ merely scratches the surface of how different forms of LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING can impact our impressions of the world we are in.

Because we have SENSE EXPERIENCE of being in the world, we have a means of GRADING our various sets of ancestors as to the quality of their LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALZING SCHEMES, and what we quickly discover (BUT ONLY IF WE PURSUE THIS TYPE OF INVESTIGATION) is that the WESTERN CULTURE’S strategy of using a MATERIAL BEINGS OPERATING IN EMPTY SPACE based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, although offering GREAT SIMPLIFICATIONS by its being supportable with SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, has been SCREWING US UP because of the FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM that comes with it.

Take the EXAMPLES of DONALD TRUMP and JOE BIDEN, … and the associated examples of CONSERVATIVE politics and LIBERAL politics.  Because our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING scheme is MATERIAL BEING based, which means BINARY LOGIC based since our linguistic constructions are based on MATERIAL ENTITIES that are included within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE which means that ALL OF THE AUTHORING OF ACTIVITY must come from the MATERIAL ENTITIES since the EMPTY SPACE is a PASSIVE, INERT CONTAINER for the MATERIAL BEING based dynamics.  This SIMPLIFIES the task of putting together LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS since all we have to worry about is the dynamics of material forms, as if within an uninvolved ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.  This lets us AVOID dealing with a lot of COMPLEXITY, and in particular, it allows us to use one-sided ABSTRACTIONS such as GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION (the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING aspect of TRANSFORMATION) in our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS, while DROPPING OUT SHRINKAGE, COLLAPSE, and CONSUMPTION (the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING aspect of TRANSFORMATION).

As Erich Jantsch has shown, we all have the capability of THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS which associate with three different “CULTURES”; i.e. CONSERVATIVE, LIBERAL and INDIGENOUS.  The CONSERVATIVES pursue GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION by way of one-sided LOCAL AUTHORING INITIATIVES.  The LIBERALS pursue GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION in the manner of friendly drivers in busy freeway traffic flow; i.e. moving in concert with others so as to co-cultivate harmonious flow, rather than using the CONSERVATIVE survival of the fittest approach.  Indigenous aboriginals do not believe in INDEPENDENT BEINGS as in AWARENESS LEVELS 3 (CONSERVATIVE) and AWARENESS LEVEL 2 (LIBERAL), but believe instead in the LEVEL 1 AWARENESS wherein all participants are STRANDS IN A WEB where INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE supports continuing TRANSFORMATION, which accords with the actual physical reality we are living in.

WESTERN CULTURE IS STUCK WITH THE POOR CHOICE of giving a FOUNDATIONAL ROLE IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME to the SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC of MATERIAL FORMS IN ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE.  BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM is TOO SIMPLE TO SUPPORT “TRANSFORMATION” which requires NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM (logic that can handle the relationship that occurs with WHORLINGS in FLOWING where the WHORLING is “BOTH” ITSELF “AND” at the same time, the FLOWING it is an included feature in.  BINARY EITHER/OR LANGUAGE “CANNOT HANDLE” WHORLINGS IN FLOWING.

What is needed, Bohm argued in his book Wholeness and the Implicate Order, is a new sort of language, one based on processes and activity, transformation and change, rather than on the interactions of stable objects. Bohm called this hypothetical language the “rheomode.” It is based primarily on verbs and on grammatical structures deriving from verbs. Such a language, Bohm argued, is perfectly adapted to a reality of enfolding and unfolding matter and thought.

David Bohm had not known when he wrote of that concept that such a language is not just a physicist’s hypothesis. It actually exists. The language of the Algonquin peoples was developed by the ancestors specifically to deal with subtle matters of reality, society, thought, and spirituality.

A few months before his death, Bohm met with a number of Algonkian speakers and was struck by the perfect bridge between their language and worldview and his own exploratory philosophy. What to Bohm had been major breakthroughs in human thought — quantum theory, relativity, his implicate order and rheomode – were part of the everyday life and speech of the Blackfoot, Mic Maq, Cree and Ojibwaj.” 

– F. David Peat, ‘Blackfoot Physics’

CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS are BOTH USING BINARY LOGIC IN A FOUNDATIONAL ROLE; i.e. in the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR that imputes powers of LOCAL AUTHORING to notional INDEPENDENT BEINGS.

BINARY LOGIC IS TOO SIMPLE.  BINARY LOGIC makes use of PROPOSITIONS and there is a WEAKNESS there as pointed out by Goedel’s Theorem which affirms THE INCOMPLETENESS of ALL FINITE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS.   So, CONSERVATIVES such as DONALD TRUMP can “MAKE GOOD” on a commitment to GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION which is what the REAL ESTATE business is all about, however, such propositional claims are INCOMPLETE and as indigenous aboriginals are quick to point out, what is really going on is TRANSFORMATION of the LANDSCAPE which includes the LOSS OF WILDERNESS together with (in conjugate relation with) the GROWTH of NEW DEVELOPMENT, so Chief Seattle is not likely to listen to a glowing tribute to what the NEW DEVELOPMENT will offer, because he will be thinking about WHAT IS NOT BEING MENTIONED which is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS that comes with the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING “GROWTH” of the NEW DEVELOPMENT.

BOTH CONSERVATIVE POLITICIANS and LIBERAL POLITICIANS are using LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING based on the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR which ‘speaks’ in terms of GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION, … the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING components ,… while DROPPING OUT MENTION of the conjugate SHRINKING, DECAY and CONSUMPTION, which is part of the REALITY of what is going on, which when we acknowledge it, speaks of the overall REALITY of “TRANSFORMATION”, and this is a TRANSFORMATION that is ALL INCLUDING and which INCLUDES US.   SO, the REAL STORY is NOT that we are ‘MAKING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE LANDSCAPE’ but that WE ARE PARTICIPANTS IN TRANSFORMATION, and while we are contributing to the TRANSFORMATION, we are in no way the AUTHORS.

When we are speaking in terms of being the AUTHORS of GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT PRODUCTION which is just the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE and LEAVING OUT MENTION OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING CONJUGATE of the Shrinking of Wilderness, the Decaying of existing structure, and the Consumption of natural resources.  The REALITY is THE TWO CONJUGATES that are playing out together in a dynamic that we experience as TRANSFORMATION of the LANDSCAPE.

Because BINARY LOGIC is TOO SIMPLE to capture TRANSFORMATION (which requires non-binary both/and logic of the including medium) we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, BECAUSE OF OUR TOO-SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that is DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate (i.e. dropping out acknowledgement of the Shrinking of Wilderness, the Decaying of existing structure and the Consumption of resources), IS FAILING TO CAPTURE WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON WHICH IS TRANSFORMATION.

TRANSFORMATION IS captured by the indigenous aboriginal culture with the more competent (less simple) NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME wherein one can employ the STRANDS in the WEB structure of INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE which is BEYOND BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM.   The MODERN PHYSICS structure of CONDENSATIONS in the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM has the same BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM STRUCTURE as the STRANDS IN THE WEB ARCHITECTURE that is foundational in indigenous aboriginal linguistic conceptualizations.

The essential quality of TRANSFORMATION is its NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (purely relational) foundation which is found in the STRANDS in the WEB relationship

As Chief Seattle observes 

“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.” 

Likewise, Schroedinger affirms;

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.”  This is an alternative restatement of “Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it.”

The WEB is capable of continuing TRANSFORMATION in which the STRAND is a participant, but is certainly NOT in control of the TRANSFORMATION.

We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are using LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING in a manner where we MAKE OURSELVE OUT TO BE THE AUTHOR of actions and development, rather than acknowledging OUR INCLUSION IN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM; i.e.

Our judgement has us conclude that every change must have an author”;–but this conclusion is already mythology: it separates that which effects from the effecting. If I say “lightning flashes,” I have posited the flash once as an activity and a second time as a subject, and thus added to the event a being that is not one with the event but is rather fixed, “is” and does not “become.”–To regard an event as an “effecting,” and this as being, that is the double error, or interpretation, of which we are guilty.” – Nietzsche, ‘Will to Power’, 531

WE ARE INCLUDED IN THE ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM and while this is acknowledged in indigenous aboriginal cultures by their STRANDS-IN-THE-WEB understanding, (“Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it.” – Seattle), as Nietzsche points out, WESTERN CULTURE MAN has made the necessary adjustments to the WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that PROMOTES MAN to the status of a LOCAL AUTHOR OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS as if operating within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE;

–––  NONBINARY (BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDUM) INCLUSION OF MAN-IN-EARTH (CONDENSATION OF WAVE-FIELD IN WAVE-FIELD): 

This we know, the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons of the earth. 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”

This is supported by Jantsch LEVEL 1 (TRANSFORMATION) MODE of AWARENESS, but we continue to struggle with lesser, BINARY LOGIC based forms of AWARENESS

––– BINARY (EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM) SPLIT OF MAN AND EARTH (“MATERIAL BEING” IN EMPTY SPACE): 

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

This is supported by the LEVEL 3 CONSERVATIVE and LEVEL 2 LIBERAL modes of AWARENESS wherein we believe we are INDEPENDENT BEINGS with our own DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR given powers of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and developments as if we were NON-INCLUDED INDEPENDENT BEINGS.

We know that there is a major SPLIT in the manner of understanding and the world views of WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS and indigenous aboriginals and that the indigenous aboriginal manner of understanding and world view IS SUPPORTED BY MODERN PHYSICS while the worldview of WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS IS NOT SUPPORTED BY MODERN PHYSICS, and this is because MODERN PHYSICS supports the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM (wherein material forms are condensations of the all-including energy-charged PLENUM aka wave-field) which is layover to the indigenous aboriginal STRANDS IN THE WEB view of material forms wherein all material forms are INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT.   In this understanding, the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT is foundational while the LOCAL and EXPLICIT is APPEARANCE (Schaumkommen in Schoedinger’s language).   The INDIVIDUAL is understood as a STRAND IN THE WEB (Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it), which means that the strands are interconnected and interdependent which is why the needed JUSTICE SYSTEM is RESTORATIVE; i.e. THERE ARE NO ‘LOCAL AUTHORS’ in the STRANDS IN THE WEB dynamic, wherein the movements of the interconnected and interdependent strands are such that the ‘THREE BODY PROBLEM’ applies (the impossibility of calculating the individual movements of three or more bodies moving under one-another’s simultaneous mutual influence).  This is why indigenous aboriginal JUSTICE is RESTORATIVE JUSTICE rather than the PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE of WESTERN CULTURE.

BY COMPARISON, Man is PORTRAYED in the WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME as a LOCAL, EXPLICIT, MATERIAL AGENT that is an INDEPENDENT AUTHOR OF ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS.  This is a BINARY LOGIC based conceptualization which employs the ABSTRACTION of an ABSOLUTE EMPTY and INVISIBLE CONTAINING SPACE to serve as a notional OPERATING THEATRE for the movements and interactions of LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL OBJECTS.  In this WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, there is a notional identification of LOCAL AUTHORSHIP which leads to INFLATED EGOS and REWARDS and RECOGNITION for the assumed AUTHORS of GOOD EVENTS and SHAME, PUNISHMENT and DENIGRATION for the assumed AUTHORS of BAD EVENTS.

In spite of MODERN PHYSICS SUPPORT for the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM based STRANDS in the WEB (Condensations in/of the energy-charged PLENUM) REALITY, this understanding has NOT YET SUBSUMED the FIRMLY ENTRENCHED BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM based INDEPENDENT BEINGS IN EMPTY SPACE PSEUDO-REALITY.   This is due to the SYSTEMS phenomenon where there is “LOCK-IN-BY-HIGH SWITCHING COSTS” which derives from long-standing REWARD, RECOGNITION and PERSISTING STATUS awarded to people on the basis of their LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS.  This gives rise to a PURIFICATIONISM that is in marked contrast to the RESTORATIVE JUSTICE of indigenous aboriginal cultures where emergent events are understood as ‘having roots’ i.e. as deriving from NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) influences where the OFFENSIVE or VIOLENT actions of an individual are understood as DERIVING FROM THE WEB (SOCIAL COLLECTIVE) and merely VENTING THROUGH (not ORIGINATING FROM) the individual “HOLDING THE SMOKING GUN”.

The impact on our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING of the REALITY that SPACE IS NOT EMPTY and that MATERIAL FORMS are CONDENSATIONS of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM can be seen in understandings like that of the CANARY IN THE COAL-MINE where there is an acknowledging that the BEHAVIOUR of the so-called INDEPENDENT BEING (who we now understand as a CONDENSATION of the all-including ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM) is not constrained being informed from the INTERIOR of the “CANARY” or “PERSON” but is open to (now that space is not empty) INFLUENCE FROM THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM which may be DISSONANT (TOXIC)  or RESONANT (NURTURANT).  Now we are no longer, as we are in our STANDARD WESTERN CULTURE assumption of EMPTY SPACE, constrained to thinking of the behaviors of individuals as deriving from their INTERIORS as in the WESTERN CULTURE model of reality, but now opens up to the reality wherein people are condensations of the WAVE-FIELD or otherwise known as STRANDS in the WEB in which case the VIOLENT BEHAVIOUR of an individual STRAND IN THE WEB is deriving from the WEB, or in other words, the VIOLENT BEHAVIOUR of the individual CONDENSATION of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM is deriving from the PLENUM which is all-including is supportive of a variety of influences, including TOXIC and NURTURANT.   As participants in freeway flows, we may experience the same sort of inclusion in a variety of influences raging from the TOXIC to NURTURANT, and all we are REALLY DOING in saying these things, is that we are acknowledging the WAVE STRUCTURE OF SPACE THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.

In driving in the flow of freeway traffic, although it is our WESTERN CULTURE HABIT to speak in terms of our LOCAL MALE ASSERTING/AUTHORING of ACTIONS, this is a GROSS OVER-SIMPLIFICATION in that this one-sided MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate DROPS OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE; i.e. the fact is that the OPENING and CLOSING of navigable channels in the freeway flow INDUCTIVELY SHAPED OUR MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING trajectory.

OUR WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING is ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING as if our actions transpire in ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE instead of in conjugate relation with the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING energy-charged PLENUM, so we report on our actions as if we were the SOLE AUTHORS of our OWN MOVEMENTS (without FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING influence).  While the university student may say “I crossed over the grounds of the Faculty of Science to get to the parking lot”, while this gives the impression of a one-sided male asserting/actualizing dynamic, … in the middle of the school day in the crowded grounds, the opening of passageways in the crowds of students are female accommodating/enabling corridors that will shape one’s male asserting/actualizing movements.

We have available to us, THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS, one level (AWARENESS LEVEL 3) where we are the student crossing the campus, another level (AWARENESS LEVEL 2) is where we are part of a group of students that open up a passageway for the student crossing the campus.  And, we may open up to AWARENESS that we belong to the generations of students that have been part of the TRANSFORMATION that includes the emergence and continuing development of the University.   This AWARENESS LEVEL 1 is where SUBJECT and OBJECT are ONLY ONE (where we acknowledge our inclusion in the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka the unbounded PLENUM).  These are the 3 levels of awareness described by systems theorist Erich Jantsch.  WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are commonly addicts of BINARY LOGIC which grounds understanding in AWARENESS LEVELS 3 and 2.  NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM is required to get to LEVEL 1 AWARENESS, the AWARENESS of INCLUSION in the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.

The entry to AWARENESS LEVEL 1, the awareness of inclusion within the energy-charged PLENUM comes with the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which is the logic of indigenous aboriginals; i.e. 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.”

THE BLOCKING of ACCESS to AWARENESS LEVEL 1, the awareness of inclusion within the energy-charged PLENUM, comes with the BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM which is the POPULAR LOGIC of WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, which is informed by WESTERN CULTURE religious teachings; e.g. “GENESIS 1:28 … … replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

The hierarchical view has been the popular tradition in WESTERN CULTURE which sees Man, NOT AS A STRAND-IN-THE-WEB partner with the four-leggeds and the winged and crawling ones, but as HIGH RANKING MEMBER of the “GREAT CHAIN of BEING” aka Scala Naturae; “The great chain of being is a hierarchical structure of all matter and life, thought by medieval Christianity to have been decreed by God. The chain begins with God and descends through angels, humans, animals and plants to minerals.  The great chain of being (from Latin scala naturae ‘ladder of being’) is a concept derived from Plato, Aristotle (in his Historia Animalium), Plotinus and Proclus.  Further developed during the Middle Ages, it reached full expression in early modern Neoplatonism” “The concept also influenced other hierarchies, such as the political structure with a king at the top and social strata below.” 

AWARENESS LEVEL 1 depends on NONBINARY LOGIC, the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM wherein the MAN (STRAND IN THE WEB) is “BOTH” himself  (the strand) “AND” the WEB he (the strand) is included in.

The CONSEQUENCES of the REALITY that SPACE IS NOT EMPTY

The consequences include the fact that MINER’S CANARY effects will manifest, whether or not they are noticed or misinterpreted (e.g. mistakenly assumed to be coming from the interior of the canary or etc. rather than from the toxic environment) i.e. the relationship of a condensation of the energy-charged plenum with the energy-charged plenum can become DISSONANT or TOXIC rather than RESONANT and NURTURANT, the former situation manifesting in the case of the MINER’S CANARY whose ABERRANT BEHAVIOUR signals a DISSONANT or TOXIC RELATION with the environment.

So long as we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS CONSTRAIN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS to MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING, this builds in the assumption that SPACE IS EMPTY and EMPTY SPACE CANNOT BE TOXIC in which case, the ABERRANTLY BEHAVING INDIVIDUAL must have a problem that is INTERNAL.

Psychiatrist Jill Astbury makes the point that psychological issues can manifest in an individual experiencing the stress of being in a group of differing others whose sensitivities may be lower so that rising ambient stress or toxicity goes unnoticed by the less sensitive while the most sensitive suffer ‘breakdowns’.  In this situation, the immediate assumption may be that those suffering breakdowns have a weakness IN THEIR INTERNAL MAKEUP and are prone to psychological illness rather than sensitive to toxic environments.  Meanwhile, the individual’s psycho-physical functioning will be investigated, and remediation therapies applied, in a quiet and non-toxic hospital environment, seeking the answer to ‘what is wrong with ‘the patient’, and the toxic environment will be missed’. 

 “The research stemming from this viewpoint had a systemic blindness. It could literally not see what it was doing, as the normative quality of its own presuppositions had made them invisible.” – Jill Astbury

SPACE IS NOT EMPTY, and it may be TOXIC or NURTURANT

“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). 

* * * * * * * *

In order to get rid of (go beyond) the simple BINARY LOGIC based SPLITTING of our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING of REALITY into MATERIAL OBJECTS and EMPTY SPACE, have to UPGRADE to the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM.   This will open up LEVEL 1 AWARENESS (TRANSFORMATION) that resolves the HEADBUTTING of LEVEL 3 CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS and LEVEL 2 LIBERAL AWARENESS.

Without access in our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING to LEVEL 1 AWARENESS, we are stuck with a Sisyphus like UNRESOLVABLE STAND OFF between LEVEL 3 AWARE CONSERVATIVE and LEVEL 2 AWARE LIBERAL viewpoints BOTH of which are BINARY LOGIC based, while LEVEL 1 AWARENESS requires NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM wherein we acknowledge our INCLUSION in the all-including energy-charged PLENUM

–––  NONBINARY (BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDUM) INCLUSION OF MAN-IN-EARTH (CONDENSATION OF WAVE-FIELD IN WAVE-FIELD): 

This we know, the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons of the earth. 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”

INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS and MODERN PHYSICS HAVE “BEEN THERE, DONE THAT” but we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS continue to be mired down by the use of INCOMPLETE BINARY LOGIC BASED PROPOSITIONS.

so, as reviewed previously, …

WHO ARE THE BIGGEST LIARS; CONSERVATIVES OR LIBERALS?

As a preface, we need to review WESTERN CULTURE’S OVER-SIMPLIFIED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING THAT IS GIVING US A DISTORTED UNDERSTANDING OF REALITY

Here’s how it happens; The miner’s canary anecdote is a good place to start because it REMINDS us that we and all material forms are CONDENSATIONS that are INCLUDED in the all-including energy-charged PLENUM wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX and wherein we things are continually changing so that we may find ourselves in NURTURANT or TOXIC ENVIRONMENTS.  If we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS were using a FLOW-BASED LANGUAGE (VERB-BASED LANGUAGE) as Alan Watts and others have pointed out, we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS would NOT be having the problems of FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM that we are having.  For example, in a flow-based language we would speak in terms of “TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” which captures the REALITY that everything is related as in INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT (Mitakuye Oyasin in indigenous aboriginal language).  But our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE was designed for SIMPLIFICATION which comes by DROPPING out the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate of FLOW and ‘going with’ ONLY the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate of FLOW (which can be thought of as using ONLY the PEAK of the WAVE and NOT the TROUGH).

This PEAK-ONLY based form of LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING has the effect of INTRODUCING a SIMPLIFIED PSEUDO-REALITY which is MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING “PEAK” ONLY wherein we THROW OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING “TROUGH” and SUBSTITUTE IN ITS PLACE ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.  WHILE THIS CERTAINLY DOES “SIMPLIFY” our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, THIS SIMPLIFICATION COMES AT THE COST OF MAKING IT APPEAR AS IF MALE ASSERTING IS ALL THERE IS TO REALITY; e.g. we say “THE TOWN IS GROWING” without mentioning that this is impossible without the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS.

BUT WAIT A MINUTE!   SEE HOW OUR EGO CAN GET A HUGE BOOST FROM SIMPLIFYING OUR LANGUAGE IN THIS MANNER?  WE GIVE OURSELVES A PROMOTION IN THIS KIND OF SIMPLIFIED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, from being INCLUDED as a CONDENSATION in the ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, TO BEING AN INDEPENDENT MATERIAL OBJECT INTERACTING WITH OTHER INDEPENDENT MATERIAL OBJECTS WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.

BY USING THIS SIMPLIFIED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, WE MAKE OF OUR HUMAN SELVES “MUCH MORE THAN THE STRAND-IN-THE-WEB of INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURES, which is the case with their FLOW-BASED LANGUAGES” in that OUR GRAMMAR MAKES US OUT TO BE THE FULL AND SOLE AUTHORS OF “THE RESULTS OF OUR ACTIONS” so that if we PUNCH someone in the head and their SKULL SHATTERS, mostly because they have a THIN SKULL, we attribute FULL AND SOLE AUTHORING CREDIT to the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate, and simple DROP OUT any attribution to the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate, even if the ACCOMMODATING of an EGG-SHELL SKULL is the OVER-RIDING CONTRIBUTER TO THE SHATTERED SKULL OUTCOME.

This DROPPING OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING AUTHORING AGENCY and the ASSIGNING OF FULL AND SOLE AUTHORING CREDIT TO THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING is the HUMONGOUS ERROR which is the source of FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM in the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS that support the WESTERN CULTURE UNDERSTANDING OF “REALITY”, wherein one “SPEAKS OF” “TOWNS THAT ARE GROWING” without ANY MENTION of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING “SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS”, giving the impression (mental picture) of “THE TOWN” as a “MATERIAL THING-IN-ITSELF” that is “ACTUALLY GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING things”, … and by HIGHLIGHTING THIS within the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, giving the impression this GROWTH of the TOWN, is happening “WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE” … because IF IT WERE NOT THE EMPTY CONTAINING SPACE, one would be obliged to DESIGN A LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that includes the FEMALE CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS and thus the FULL REALITY of the TRANSFORMATION of the LANDSCAPE and its unboundedness, … which, BY THE WAY, … is all automatically TAKEN CAR OF if the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME IS FLOW-BASED as with Bohm’s MODERN PHYSICS ‘Rheomode’ language and as with the ‘STRANDS-IN-THE-WEB’ linguistic conceptualizing of indigenous aboriginals.

Acknowledging within the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING ARCHITECTURE, as Modern physics and indigenous aboriginals do,  that MATERIAL FORMS are INCLUSIONS within the ALL-INCLUDING FLOW whereby all forms are INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT, is imperative.  BUT OUR WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME FAILS TO DO THIS AND FOR THE SAKE OF SIMPLIFYING LANGUAGE, SUBSTITUTES EMPTY SPACE for the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, the PLENUM being the PRIMARY GROUND of our SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED REALITY, THUS FORCING A NOTIONAL RELOCATING OF AUTHORING AGENCY FROM THE NOW-DEFUNCT PLENUM, TO THE CONDENSATION, which is in reality, SECONDARY, being a CONDENSATION “WITHIN” the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.  The “LINGUISTICALLY-ORPHANED” CONDENSATION, having been relocated from the PLENUM into an EMPTY SPACE, INHERITS the ROLE OF PRIMARY AUTHORING AGENT.

This NEWLY CREATED PRIMARY AUTHORING AGENT, which is in reality the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, is NOW SHOWING UP IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME AS A LOCAL and EXPLICIT MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AGENT.   INSTEAD OF THE ANDROGYNOUS “TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” wherein the TOWNING is INCLUDED WITHIN the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE, we have ‘THE TOWN that is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods’ WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.

What we (WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENGS) have just done is that we have RELOCATED the AUTHORING AGENCY from the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM (aka the wave-field) to the LOCAL and EXPLICIT CONDENSATION.  We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have done this by way of LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING. SO, while the indigenous aboriginals have stuck with the PURELY RELATIONAL (flow-based) “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX, we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have “SIMPLIFIED” this by using what Nietzsche calls the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR, where we INVENT “THE TOWN” by using NAMING and then we use GRAMMAR to impute to “THE TOWN” .. “ITS OWN POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS such as GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION of goods”.   NOTE THAT THIS NEWLY CREATED (with our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME) THING-IN-ITSELF WITH ITS OWN POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING, which is IN OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY, and INCLUDED FEATURE WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM, IS NOW IMPLICITLY RE-SITUATED WITHIN A NOTIONAL ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, the INVENTING of which was NECESSITATED in order to ATTRIBUTE TO IT, ITS OWN POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING.

REMEMBER THE APHORISM “To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose”?    What that kind of talk did was REMIND US THAT WE ARE INCLUDED IN SOMETHING GREATER THAN OURSELVES, but this OTHER KIND OF TALK based on the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR jumpstarts the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING dynamic, AS IF IT WAS OCCURRING IN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE so that the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING IS PRESENTED AS ‘REALITY’, and as we know, in WESTERN CULTURE, it is ACTED UPON AS IF IT WERE A REALITY which it DECIDEDLY IS NOT!  TOWNS DO NOT GROW WITHOUT CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS and THUS TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE.

WE KNOW THAT WHILE IT IS LOGICALLY TRUE that THE PUNCH SHATTERED THE RECIPIENT’S SKULL and that WESTERN CULTURE JUSTICE accepts such LOGICAL TRUTHS, the REALITY is that the RECIPIENT’S SKULL may have been so WEAK and ACCOMMODATING that a fly landing on it might have “TRIGGERED ITS COLLAPSE”.  … The exaggeration is just to bring out the Goedel’s Theorem point that all finite PROPOSITIONS OF LOGIC ARE INCOMPLETE, which shows up in this example in that WHILE THERE IS TRUTH TO THE PROPOSITION that the PUNCH SHATTERED THE recipient’s SKULL, such TRUTH is always INCOMPLETE because it does not capture the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE; i.e. the fact that the collapsing of the skull was more the result of the fragile egg-shell condition of the skull, hence its accommodating/enabling, than the result of the force of the male asserting/actualizing punch.

OK, that was “THE PREFACE” which was needed to give background context to; … WESTERN CULTURE’S OVER-SIMPLIFIED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING THAT IS GIVING US A DISTORTED UNDERSTANDING OF REALITY, and prepares us for the inquiry into “WHO ARE THE BIGGEST LIARS; CONSERVATIVES OR LIBERALS?”

WHO ARE THE BIGGEST LIARS; CONSERVATIVES OR LIBERALS?

If you have read The WESTERN CULTURE CONSERVATIVE-LIBERAL CONFLICT PROBLEM… IN A NUTSHELL you may have figured out what is going on here. I will share it here in point form;

-1- We live in a WESTERN CULTURE dominated world where people and political parties and Nations commonly claim credit for AUTHORING actions and achievements.

-2- The linguistic conceptualizing scheme used is one-sided positive proposition that implies that the action transpires in an absolute empty and infinite space

-3- Indigenous aboriginals and Modern physics point out that SPACE IS NOT EMPTY but an ENERGIZED PLENUM (which may be TOXIC or NURTURANT).

-4- Both CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS claim to be the AUTHORS of positive actions and developments

-5- All such propositions, while they may be TRUE, are INCOMPLETE (Goedel’s Theorem)

-6- While it is TRUE than one Party can lay claim credit for GROWING the INDUSTRIAL BASE, … that claim is incomplete, in its failing to acknowledge the conjugate shrinking of wilderness, and associated rising toxicity (declining nurturance), the two conjugates of the GROWING of the INDUSTRIAL BASE and the SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS co-comprising TRANSFORMATION of the LANDSCAPE.

-7- There is a QUESTION of whether BEHAVIOUR is INTERNALLY DRIVEN or EXTERNALLY INDUCED as exemplified in the behaviour of canaries in a TOXIC PLENUM whose aberrant movements may be mistakenly interpreted as internal illness sourced when they are in fact externally induced in a healthy entity by ambient TOXICITY.  This topic has been explored by Jill Astbury;

Jill Astbury raises questions in regard to the common assumption of INTERNAL SOURCING of illness rather than TOXIC ENVIRONMENT BASED SOURCING of illness in the case of psychological disorder (as in ‘Crazy for You: The Making of Women’s Madness’).  Her inquiry explored a World Health Organization finding that women have twice the incidence of ‘affective disorders’ (depression, bipolar disorder etc.) as men, as can arise from sensitive individuals in TOXIC ENVIRONMENTS.

Astbury makes the point that psychological issues can manifest in an individual experiencing the stress of being in a group of differing others whose sensitivities may be lower so that rising ambient stress or toxicity goes unnoticed by the less sensitive while the most sensitive suffer ‘breakdowns’.  In this situation, the immediate (mistaken) assumption may be that those suffering breakdowns have an internal weakness in that they are prone to psychological illness while the reality is that they are sensitive to toxic environments.  So, those falling ill will typically be studied for ‘what is wrong with them’ and the fact that the environment is toxic will be missed.

“The research stemming from this viewpoint had a systemic blindness. It could literally not see what it was doing, as the normative quality of its own presuppositions had made them invisible.” – Jill Astbury

-8- The CONSERVATIVE – LIBERAL  POLARIZATION is based on incomplete propositions which are drawn from differing LEVELS OF AWARENESS.  We all have the capability of 3-LEVELS of AWARENESS.  In the SIMPLEST AWARENESS LEVEL (3), we are fully and solely committed to ACHIEVING A GOAL as in going to work and pursuing our occupation.  In LESS SIMPLE AWARENESS LEVEL (2) we are like swimmers sharing the same swimming pool  (or drivers sharing space in the freeway traffic flow) and here we condition our actions so as to limit making waves that interfere with the pursuits of others as we pursue our goals in the common space.  AWARENESS LEVEL (1) is the awareness of the all-including TRANSFORMATION that we all share inclusion in.  This AWARENESS LEVEL 1 requires a SWITCHING off of the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING orientation that plays a foundational role in AWARENESS LEVELS 3 and 2 wherein we were pursuing individual personal goals; i.e. AWARENESS OF INCLUSION IN TRANSFORMATION acknowledges that we are all together (MITAKUYE OYASIN) on a voyage of TRANSFORMATION that is UNPREDICTABLE (no-one experiencing life in 1900 could predict the experience of living in 2025).  While it is UNPREDICTABLE IN ITS DETAIL, we know that we can choose between BEHAVIOURS that simply advance OUR CURRENT INDIVIDUAL WANTS OR NEEDS, or, as in the indigenous aboriginal seven generation tradition, we can think of ourselves as STRANDS IN THE WEB and choose BEHAVIOURS that we support what the needs of the little ones that will be arriving SEVEN GENERATIONS OUT.

The CONSERVATIVE – LIBERAL  POLARIZATION derives from the fact that BOTH CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS are so STRONGLY ORIENTED TO MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING that they are SPLITTING OFF INTO AWARENESS LEVELS 3 and 2, and BOTH of these AWARENESS LEVELS are STOPPING SHORT OF AWARENESS LEVEL 1, the AWARENESS OF TRANSFORMATION that is ALL-INCLUDING. This is the equivalent of understanding that we live in a WAVE-FIELD and expressing our PREFERENCE for EITHER the PEAK OR THE TROUGH; e.g. SOME OF may prefer to think that HURRICANES STIR UP THE ATMOSPHERE while OTHERS may prefer to think that the ATMOSPHERE STIRS UP THE HURRICANE.  THIS WILL RESULT IN AN UNSOLVABLE POLARIZATION and ONLY BECAUSE OF THE MISTAKE MADE BY BOTH THE CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL FACTIONS of INVENTING the notion of LOCAL AUTHORING as incorporated in the ‘STIRRING UP’ concept.  THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “LOCAL AUTHORING” because we live in a TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM where all AUTHORING is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT as in the wave-field dynamic as it is appropriately captured in indigenous aboriginal and other FLOW-BASED linguistic conceptualizing schemes.

LOCAL AUTHORING, as Nietzsche points out, is an ARTIFICAL LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION that we CREATE using the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR.

We are living as CONDENSATIONS in the all-including TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM as is our understanding in our LEVEL 1 AWARENESS of inclusion therein, and as alluded to by the indigenous aboriginal STRAND-in the-WEB symbology wherein EVERYTHING IS INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT so that the dynamics are NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) and where it appears that there are LOCAL and EXPLICIT events, this is only APPEARANCE (Schaumkommen).

Our judgement has us conclude that every change must have an author”;–but this conclusion is already mythology: it separates that which effects from the effecting. If I say “lightning flashes,” I have posited the flash once as an activity and a second time as a subject, and thus added to the event a being that is not one with the event but is rather fixed, “is” and does not “become.”–To regard an event as an “effecting,” and this as being, that is the double error, or interpretation, of which we are guilty.” – Nietzsche, ‘Will to Power’, 531

* * * * * * *

The above -8- points show WHERE the SPLIT INTO CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL is COMING FROM; i.e. from our DIFFERING LEVELS OF AWARENESS, the LOWEST TWO OF WHICH GIVE US AN AWARENESS THAT IS IN TERMS OF LOCAL AUTHORING and we can and do DIVIDE and POLARIZE on our being able to CHOOSE whether HURRICANES STIR UP THE ATMOSPHERE which is AWARENESS LEVEL 3, or whether THE ATMOSPHERE STIRS UP HURRICANES, LEVEL 2, … BOTH OF WHICH ARE SUPERSEDED BY THE LEVEL 1 AWARENESS of the ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM, which requires a FLOW-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME because everything is in flux so that there are no MATERIAL BEINGS; i.e. there are CONDENSATIONS OF THE TRANSFORMING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUMS which may APPEAR to be MATERIAL BEINGS but they are ARE PURELY FLUID.

SUMMARY AND WRAP-UP OF WHO ARE THE BIGGEST LIARS; CONSERVATIVES OR LIBERALS?

CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS BOTH HAVE THE LADDER UP THE WRONG TREE, our WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL COLLECTIVE TENDS TO DIVIDE INTO TWO POLARIZED AGAINST EACH OTHER  FACTIONS we CALL CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS both of which base their understandings on the FALSE NOTION of the LOCAL AUTHOR where the CONSERVATIVES ORIENT TO LEVEL 3 AWARENESS where the thought is that the LOCAL AUTHORING in this case is of the type where the HURRICANE STIRS UP THE ATMOSPHERE, while the LIBERALS ORIENT TO LEVEL 2 AWARENESS where thought is that the LOCAL AUTHORING in this case is of the type where ATMOSPHERE STIRS UP THE HURRICANE.  NOTE THAT THESE ARE BOTH SIMPLE “DOER-DEED” aka ‘MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING’ based interpretations which fail to acknowledge the conjugate FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING, and for that we need to go to AWARENESS LEVEL 1 and WE DON’T GO THERE because the simple notion of one-sided MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING which is simple BINARY LOGIC based, CANNOT TAKE US THERE.   We cannot get to LEVEL 1 AWARENESS without using the LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which is capable of dealing with the reality wherein material forms are, AT the SAME TIME, BOTH MATERIAL FORMS and the ENERGY-CHARGED FLOW-FIELD THEY ARE INCLUDED IN.    That UNDERSTANDING cannot be reached with simple BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM (EMPTY SPACE MEDIUM); i.e. THAT UNDERSTANDING REQUIRES THE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM wherein our whole reality scenario is based on an ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM wherein there are CONDENSATIONS which are like SWIRLINGS IN FLOWING, they are BOTH THEMSELVES and at the same time the CONTAINING DYNAMIC they are features in.

GIVEN THAT BOTH CONSERVATIVES AND LIBERALS ARE IN ERROR DUE TO THEIR MISTAKE SUPPORT FOR “LOCAL AUTHORING” WHICH DOES NOT EXIST, AND WHICH DOESN’T REALLY MERIT MAKING A RELATIVE JUDGEMENT AS TO WHO IS “MOST WRONG”, we can see the GREATER HARSHNESS of LEVEL 3 CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS (material forms in empty space are more out for themselves in a Darwinian competition and are bewitched by what systems sciences refer to by “the name of the devil is suboptimization” which refers to the reality that what is being assumed to be INDEPENDENT is in reality INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT).   LEVEL 2 LIBERAL AWARENESS (swimmers in the same pool are more empathic and they intuit value in giving way for one another as also in freeway traffic, sensing overall benefits for the group rather than just survival of the fittest cultivating of a superior class).

There are certainly grounds for these TWO to GO TO WAR WITH ONE ANOTHER based on their CONFLICTING BELIEFS, and this is what is HAPPENING but the problem is that THEY ARE BOTH WRONG and so like a pair of SISYPHUS’es, they continue to DO BATTLE which is DISTRACTING THEM FROM THE REAL ISSUE of their NON-INDEPENDENCE, and instead INTERDEPENDENCE and INTERCONNECTEDNESS.  Of course, accepting that would mean DOING AWAY WITH WESTERN PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE which is based on LOCAL AUTHORING, and that is UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN ANY TIME SOON because it is support by EGO and by STATUS that derives from BELIEF in LOCAL AUTHORING POWERS of INDEPENDENT BEINGS;

In its origin language belongs in the age of the most rudimentary form of psychology. We enter a realm of crude fetishism when we summon before consciousness the basic presuppositions of the metaphysics of language, in plain talk, the presuppositions of reason. Everywhere it sees a doer and doing; it believes in will as the cause; it believes in the ego, in the ego as being, in the ego as substance, and it projects this faith in the ego-substance upon all things — only thereby does it first create the concept of “thing.” Everywhere “being” is projected by thought, pushed underneath, as the cause; the concept of being follows, and is a derivative of, the concept of ego. In the beginning there is that great calamity of an error that the will is something which is effective, that will is a faculty. Today we know that it is only a word.” – Nietzsche, ‘Twilight of the Idols’

SO, CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS ARE BOTH WRONG (LIARS) (THERE ARE NO BEINGS WITH POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING, THAT IS A DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR) and BOTH SUPPORT PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE which is a SCAPE-GOATING of the IDENTIFIED PATIENT WHICH RENDERS EVERYONE INNOCENT UNLESS PROVEN TO BE GUILTY which is based on the FALSE BELIEF that we are INDEPENDENT BEINGS with our own POWERS of LOCAL AUTHORING of ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENT.

IN THE INTERMINABLE CONFLICTS BETWEEN CONSERVATIVES AND LIBERALS WE ARE SPINNING OUR WHEELS, due to EGO-BASED BELIEF IN OUR LOCAL AUTHORING POWER.  WE NEED TO MOVE BEYOND AWARENESS LEVELS 3 and 2 to AWARENESS LEVEL 1.
