An inclusional worldview
WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE SHUTTING OUT THE FEMALE CONJUGATE!. HERE’S HOW THAT IS HAPPENING
AUTHOR’S PREFACE: If you read and understand this AUTHOR’S PREFACE, you will understand where Rudyard Kipling’s poem EAST IS EAST and WEST is WEST and NEVER the TWAIN shall MEET, is coming from; i.e. from the EAST’S common use of less simple NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM (where one says things like “THERE IS TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” wherein REALITY is grounded in FLOW). In this reality which contrasts with the WEST’S common use of simple BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM (where one says things like “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods”, wherein REALITY is grounded in BEING). The WESTERN CULTURE “MISTAKE” of giving THE FOUNDATIONAL ROLE in LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION to “BEING” HAS BEEN and PERSISTS IN BEING THE SOURCE OF FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM in WESTERN CULTURE COMPREHENSION AND SOCIAL DYNAMICS. SUCH DYSFUNCTION does NOT DEVELOP within CULTURES whose LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING IS “FLOW” rather than “BEING” based.
The common DISTINGUISHING of “EAST” and “WEST” (and never the TWAIN shall MEET) is tied to these TWO VERY DIFFERENT EAST and WEST approaches to LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, the former which is FLOW-BASED and the latter which is BEING-BASED, which is why “NEVER THE TWAIN SHALL MEET”. As we know, the EAST’S indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta linguistic conceptualizing approaches (and also the Modern physics linguistic conceptualizing approach) lead to RESTORATIVE JUSTICE which is in marked contrast to the WEST’S Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christiantity and Islam which employ linguistic conceptualizing approaches that lead to PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE.
This DIVISION into TWO VERY DIFFERENT JUSTICE SYSTEMS is because, in the EASTERN FLOW-BASED scheme of things (as also in MODERN PHYSICS), THE ORIGIN OF EVENTS is understood to be NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT as with STRANDS IN A WEB, and as with CONDENSATIONS in the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM. BECAUSE of the PRESUMED INTERCONNECTION AND INTERDEPENDENCE of dynamics in the case of STRANDS IN A WEB and CONDENSATIONS in the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM which is assumed, IN THE EAST, to COMMUNITIES OF PEOPLE, … the FULL COMMUNITY assumes responsibility for LOCALLY EMERGENT VIOLENCE (relational dissonance that, while NONLOCAL in origin, manifests in LOCAL, VIOLENT ERUPTIONS). In this case, where the ‘unrest’ is understood as coming from NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) TENSIONS in the inerconnected, interdependent SOCIAL MATRIX, the “HEALING CIRCLE” is used to resolve relational tensions that are manifesting in social dissonance so as to restore relational balance and harmony and thus SUBSUME the VIOLENT VENTING of tensional STRESS that is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT. CONTRASTINGLY, in the WESTERN BEING-BASED scheme of things, the understaning is that VIOLENT OUTBURSTS derive from LOCAL and EXPLICIT ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS AUTHORED by MATERIAL BEINGS ACTING and INTERACTING in EMPTY SPACE, in which case the remedy for emergent VIOLENCE is to IDENTIFY and ELIMINATE or INCARCERATE the LOCAL, EXPLICIT AUTHORS of VIOLENCE.
WHICH IS IT? THE EAST’S UNDERSTANDING OF VIOLENCE IS THAT OF CROWD (WEB) VIOLENCE THAT VENTS FROM STRANDS IN A WEB WHERE THE VIOLENT “VENTING” , WHILE “LOCAL AND EXPLICIT”, STEMS FROM TENSIONS THAT ARE OF A NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (RELATIONAL ORIGIN) that BUILD WITHIN THE WEB. MEANWHILE, THE WEST’S UNDERSTANDING IS THAT, .. VIOLENCE IS THE EXPLOSIVE ENERGY THAT VENTS FROM INDEPENDENT BEINGS WHO ARE (THOUGHT TO BE) THE FULL AND SOLE AUTHORS OF THEIR OWN ACTIONS? (Let’s not forget Goedel’s Theorem of INCOMPLETENESS of all finite logical propositions, which means that, as Bohm points out, we can establish that John Wilkes Booth pulled the trigger that launched the bullet that killed Abraham Lincoln, the AUTHORING SOURCE in the relational understanding includes the influence coming from the invention of gunpowder and much more. What emerges as REALITY involves a matrix of many relationally interdependent contributing influences, particularly when we accept that HUMANS are NOT REALLY “INDEPENDENT BEINGS” but are more like STRANDS in a WEB or CONDENSATIONS in the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM where all things are INTERCONNECTED and INDEPENDENT.
So our UNDERSTANDING OF EVENTS is in general COMPLICATED by differences in opinion as to whether people are INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT as is the case with STRANDS IN A WEB) and/or CONDENSATIONS in a PLENUM in which case we are confronted with something akin to; … “the impossibility of calculating the individual movements of three or more bodies [strands] moving under one-another’s simultaneous mutual influence” (As Isaac Newton put it; An exact solution for three bodies, exceeds, if I am not mistaken, the force of any human mind”). IT SHOULD BE NO SURPRISE, THEN, THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE EAST, INCLUDING INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS, HAVE OPTED FOR “RESTORATIVE JUSTICE” rather than WESTERN CULTURE STYLE “PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE” SINCE IN THE STRANDS IN THE WEB UNDERSTANDING IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ESTABLISH “AUTHORSHIP” OF AN ACTION IN LOCAL, EXPLICIT TERMS, which is Bohm’s point in using the example of Booth’s shooting of Lincoln, wherein the invention of gunpowder was an important contributor.
In fact, People ‘from the EAST’ tend to understand REALITY in terms of their being included in something GREATER THAN THEMSELVES so what they do and how they develop, they see as being inductively shaped by how the world opens up opportunities (or exposure to hardships) for them, in combination with how adept they are in meeting the emergent challenges or opportunities; e.g. In two weeks time there will be a low tide that will facilitate the collecting of oysters from Nanoose Bay. The REALITY that NATURE is the orchestrator of our DANCING FOR OUR SUPPER is NOT SUPERSEDED by our ability to formulate BEING based linguistic conceptualizations where PORTRAY ourselves as being the full and sole AUTHORS OF OUR OWN ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT. While it is TRUE that it was from our own volition that we collective oysters from Nanoose Bay, TRUTH is a SIMPLE LOGICAL STRUCTURE that, as in this example and as in general FAILS TO CAPTURE THE UNFOLDING REALITY wherein we waited two weeks for a LOW TIDE that was the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING that made facilitated my MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ‘fetching of oysters’ and, in fact, orchestrated my movements as with a PUPPET ON A STRING which is a crude way of acknowledging that WE ARE INCLUDED IN SOMETHING GREATER THAN OURSELVES that we don’t bother to mention in our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME which is thererore haunted by the DEA ABSCONDITA (Goddess in hiding). As Chief Seattle reminds us; 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.
People ‘from the WEST’ tend to put more emphasis on their (our) own personal actions and developments as supported by WESTERN CULTURE tendency to use one-sided male asserting/actualizing language where one says “We gathered oysters from Nanoose Bay”. This makes use of Goedel’s theorem of the incompleteness of all finite logical propositions, opening the door to this type of one-sided male-asserting/actualizing proposition which DROPS OUT ALL MENTION OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate (i.e. we could acknowledge that we are included in a dynamic world that is GREATER THAN US and that ‘there are tides in the affairs of men’ and if we wait for the low tide that will come in two weeks time, we will have easy access to the OYSTER BEDS’. If TRUTH be known, we are CONDENSATIONS that share inclusion in the all-including ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.
NOTA BENE” BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM IS TOO SIMPLE A LOGIC TO SUPPORT THE UNDERSTANDINGS THAT COMES WITH THE LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM: as is required for conceptualizing CONDENSATIONS in the energy-charged PLENUM and/or STRANDS in the WEB (wherein the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT AMBIENT INFLUENCES predominate over the LOCAL and EXPLICIT ACTUALIZING AGENTS). BEWARE ARGUMENTS wherein PARTICIPANTS are mixing and matching SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM with LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM. As Bohm points out, the shooting of Abraham Lincoln could be blamed on the inventor of gunpowder and other developments within the unfolding continuum and not simply on James Wilkes Booth and his pistol in which case EASTERN CULTURE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE can be seen as more appropriate than WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE (since there is no LOCAL, EXPLICIT IDENTIFIABLE AUTHOR (to PRAISE or BLAME) and the origins of BOTH VIOLENT/DISPERSIVE and AMIABLE/UNIFYING developments are NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT [relational]).
The thing to keep in mind is that WESTERN CULTURE IS MISTAKEN, as Nietzsche has pointed out, in its EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM (EMPTY SPACE BASED) BELIEF IN PERSISTING BEING which puts one at odds with UNDERSTANDING based on the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM where the MATERIAL FORM (CONDENSATION) and the CONTAINING MEDIUM (ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM) ARE ONE COMPLEX (ANDROGENOUS) NONDUALITY. WESTERN CULTURE HAS BEEN MAKING A DOUBLE ERROR IN ITS LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING OF THIS ANDROGYNOUS REALITY; THE FIRST ERROR IS THE NOTIONAL SPLITTING INTO TWO SEPARATE PIECES OF THE ANDROGYNOUS NONDUALITY, as in PIAGET’S method of TEACHING which pervades WESTERN CULTURE. PIAGET SPLITS APART INTO TWO SEPARATE PIECES THE ANDROGYNOUS WAVE-FIELD, RETAINING AND USING THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE AS IF IT EXISTED IN ITS OWN RIGHT, and DISCARDING THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE AS IF IT EXISTED IN ITS OWN RIGHT, leaving us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS with a NOTIONAL STAND-ALONE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AGENT THAT PURPORTEDLY EXISTS OUT OF THE CONTEXT OF ITS INNATE ANDROGYNOUS NATURE, … A MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AGENT THAT WESTERN CULTURE PROMOTES WITHIN ITS LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME AS IF IT WERE SOMETHING “REAL” THAT IS PURPORTED TO BE “OPERATIVE” WITHIN A NOTIONAL ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE. The ABSTRACT (UNREAL) BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM) COMBINATION of MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AGENT AS IF WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE EXEMPLIFIES what has been termed THE DEA ABSCONDITA (GODDESS IN HIDING) since by infusing EMPTY SPACE in place of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, we ARTIFICIALLY PROMOTE the CONDENSATIONS which are in our SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY SECONDARY to the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, into PRIMARY AUTHORING AGENT STATUS.
This PROMOTING of the SECONDARY CONDENSATIONS of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM to PRIMARY AUTHORING AGENTS, which comes about by SUBSTITUTING EMPTY SPACE for the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, creates CONFUSION because while the REAL AUTHORING SOURCE IS A NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (RELATIONAL) AUTHORING SOURCE (i.e. the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM), WESTERN CULTURE is SUBSTITUTING NOTIONAL LOCAL and EXPLICIT AUTHORING SOURCES for the purely APPEARANCE based CONDENSATIONS aka Schaumkommen
As Bohm makes clear; 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.”
WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have MISTAKENLY DEVELOPED A LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING APPROACH THAT IS TURNING REALITY INSIDE-OUT, REDUCING THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT PLENUM WHICH IS THE “GROUND FOR THE EXISTENCE OF EVERYTHING, INCLUDING OURSELVES, to A POWERLESS EMPTINESS OF INFINITE EXTENT WHILE PROMOTING CONDENSATIONS, which are merely APPEARANCES in the same sense as WHORLINGS IN FLOWING which have NO LOCAL AUTHORING POWERS WHATSOEVER, TO PURPORTED LOCAL, EXPLICIT AUTHORING AGENTS.
The NOTIONAL TRANSFERRING OF AUTHORING AGENCY FROM THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING FLOWING) TO the LOCAL and EXPLICIT WHORLINGS IN THE FLOWING (WHICH APPEAR TO BE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING WHORLINGS) is a MISTAKEN INTERPRETATION that is elsewhere identified by Nietzsche as “THE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR” which explains how we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are using a linguistic conceptualizing scheme that INVERTS the NATURAL ORDER of THINGS by impliying that WHORLINGS (which are LOCAL and EXPLICIT) are the AUTHORING SOURCE OF FLOWING (which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT [relational]). The REALITY is just the OPPOSITE; i.e. the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (FLOW) is the source of the LOCAL and EXPLICIT (WHORLING).
Thus, WESTERN CULTURE linguistic conceptualizing, is in effect REMOVING ALL MENTION OF THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM which is the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT “GROUND FOR THE EXISTENCE OF EVERYTHING” … and SUBSTITUTING ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, leaving us with the FALSE IMPRESSION that the CONDENSATIONS of the PLENUM, which are only APPEARANCES (Schaumkommen) ARE INSTEAD, LOCAL EXPLICIT MATERIAL BEING based ENTITIES moving about and interacting in an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.
WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE SHUTTING OUT THE FEMALE CONJUGATE! HERE’S HOW THAT IS HAPPENING.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * END OF AUTHOR’S PREFACE * * * * * * * *
Consider these lines from 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. On such a full sea are we now afloat; And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures.”.
Or, this line from the Bible;
“To everything there is a season and a time to every purpoose”To everything there is a season and at time to every purpose”
In both cases, there is an acknowledgement that WE ARE INCLUDED IN SOMETHING GREATER THAN OURSELVES in which case our common use of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR where we speak in terms of THINGS having POWERS of LOCAL AUTHORING of ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS is MISLEADING. For example, I may say “I gathered oysters from Nanoose Bay” which, while TRUE, is subject to Goedel’s Theorem of the INCOMPLETENESS OF ALL FINITE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS. In this example, it may be that I had to wait two weeks for a low tide (female accommodating/enabling) to facility my (male asserting/actualizing) move, in which case it would be TRUE but INCOMPLETE for me to simply say “I gathered oysters from Nanoose Bay”. But when I simply state that “I did this or that”, it seems to imply “WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE” because I make NO MENTION of having to contend with a complex FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING SITUATION where I have to JUMP THROUGH HOOPS to carry out my MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING dynamic.
So, the lines in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar make sense because emergent situations are constantly inducing changes in our asserting actions. As David Whyte says, “Ten years ago, I turned my face for a moment, and it became my life.” … from ‘the Heart Aroused’ by David Whyte. While we can keep a diary and document our actions, an account of WHAT WE HAVE DONE fails to capture the plethora of PATHS NOT TAKEN that would have been LIFE-CHANGING. The girl that winks at the boy may only wink once to see if there is fire in the connection as in “I turned my glance and it became my life”. THIS IS TELLING US THAT OUR LIVING EXPERIENCE, which is a continuing sequence of ENCOUNTERS, HAS AN ANDROGYNOUS (WAVE-LIKE) STRUCTURE WHEREIN FEMALE ACCCOMMODATING/ENABLING IS ON THE HUNT FOR A MATCH-UP WITH MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING, NOT SIMPLY ON A RANDOM BASIS BUT IN PURSUIT OF RESONANT CONNECTION
RESONANT CONNECTION is COMPLEX to the point of MYSTERIOUS and lies beyond the reach of Artificial Intelligence, yet it is FOUNDATIONAL to our LIFE EXPERIENCE.
WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, BY DROPPING OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE, BLOCKS ACCESS TO “RESONANT CONNECTION” and LIMITS CONNECTION to the INTELLECTUAL MECHANICS of ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZATIONS, that OPERATE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, which is our SUBSTITUTION for the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM which in PHYSICAL REALITY, is the SOURCE of MATERIAL CONDENSATIONS which WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE MISTAKINGLY PROMOTING, UNDESERVEDLY, TO PRIMARY STATUS by developing a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that SUBSTITUTES ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE in place of the PRIMARY SOURCING AGENCY OF THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, … AND IN THE PROCESS, … PROMOTES THE SECONDARY ENTITY; i.e. the LOCAL and EXPLICIT CONDENSATION with its MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING dynamic, to THE NEW PSEUDO-PRIMARY AUTHORING SOURCE, … IN WHICH CASE THE NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, HAVING BEEN REPLACED IN WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, BY ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, IS NO LONGER OPERATIVE.
WHAT HAVE WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS DONE WITH THIS LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING JIGGERY-POKERY? BY PROMOTING THE “CONDENSATION” which is SECONDARY TO, AND INCLUDED WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, TO “PRIMARY AUTHORING AGENT STATUS”, WE HAVE … “NOTIONALLY” … TRANSFERRED THE ACTION AUTHORING POWERS FROM THE NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD, TO THE LOCAL EXPLICIT CONDENSATIONS OF THE PLENUM.
THE RESULT IS THAT WE HUMANINGS THAT ARE CONDENSATIONS OF THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM AND THUS ARE INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT since the PLENUM is an ALL-INCLUDING CONTAINER for its collection of CONTENTS aka CONDENSATIONS. The CONDENSATIONS are to the PLENUM as STRANDS are to the WEB; i.e. the LOGIC of their relationship is the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM where the CONDENSATIONS are BOTH themselves AND at the same time, the PLENUM they are forming in, where the relationship is the same as WHORLS in a FLOW. WHILE the WHORLS may APPEAR to be SEPARATE THINGS, we cannot use a BUCKET and LIFT OUT A WHORL because WHORLING is part of the APPEARANCE of FLOWING and THE REALITY is the FLOWING which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT while all that is LOCAL and EXPLICIT is Schaumkommen, as Schroedinger puts it (APPEARANCE).
* * * * * * * * * * .
We have heard Kipling’s “EAST IS EAST AND WEST IS WEST AND NEVER THE TWAIN SHALL MEET” poem which is referring to this MAJOR DIFFERENCE IN UNDERSTANDING between “THE EAST” (the users of NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which includes indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents) … and “THE WEST” (the users of BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM which includes the followers of the ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS of Judaism, Christianity and Islam).
While the users of NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM see people as CONDENSATIONS of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM or as in the equivalent STRANDS IN THE WEB relationship, the point is that because EVERYONE IS RELATED (Mitakuye Oyasin) and being influenced by one another in their actions (like participants in a densely packed crowd at a football game) THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BEHAVIOUR BELONGING TO THE INDIVIDUAL. The THREE BODY PROBLEM is a reminder of “the impossibility of calculating the individual movements of three or more bodies [strands] moving under one-another’s simultaneous mutual influence”. As Isaac Newton put it; An exact solution for three bodies, exceeds, if I am not mistaken, the force of any human mind” – Isaac Newton
This is why JUSTICE is RESTORATIVE in indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta because in our normal social dynamics, and as we know from our experience of being included in crowds, … we, as a relational collective, can open up channels for others to move into and stay safe, or we can CLOSE THE CHANNELS DOWN without OURSELVES being blamed for what may be a resultant COLLISION due to “the impossibility of calculating the individual movements of three or more bodies [strands] moving under one-another’s simultaneous mutual influence”.
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE “FOLLOWS NATURALLY” FROM this impossibility of calculating individual actions.
SO, WHY IS IT THAT WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS EMPLOY PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE based on IDENTIFYING A LOCAL, EXPLICIT AUTHOR of VIOLENCE and TAKING THEM OUT OF CIRCULATION?
THE ANSWER IS: BECAUSE indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE ABSTRACTION OF “BEING” and NEITHER SHOULD WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS BELIEVE IN “BEING”. As Nietzsche points out, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “BEING”;
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “BEING” IN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM (the WORLD that we share inclusion in).
“Nothing indeed has exercised a more simple power of persuasion hitherto than the error of Being, as it was formulated by the Eleatics for instance: in its favour are every word and every sentence that we utter!—Even the opponents of the Eleatics succumbed to the seductive powers of their concept of Being. Among others there was Democritus in his discovery of the atom. “Reason” in language!—oh what a deceptive old witch it has been! I fear we shall never be rid of God, so long as we still believe in grammar.” –Friedrich Nietzsche, “Twilight of the Idols” (in the chapter “Reason in Philosophy”).
Where there is TRANSFORMATION, AUTHORING IS NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT rather than LOCAL and EXPLICIT but once we introduce the ERROR OF BEING into our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, we have an ARTIFICIAL TOOL that supports LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING in terms of the LOCAL and EXPLICIT ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS of “BEINGS” which becomes the source of FRAGMENTATION in WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE AND THOUGHT.
We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are accustomed to using BEING in our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS without THINKING about what the implications are and how such BEING infused LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS differ from FLOW-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS; e.g. there is a MAJOR DIFFERENCE in understanding between the BEING based proposition ”THE TOWN IS GROWING” and the NON-BEING (FLOW-BASED) proposition “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”. In the FORMER BEING-based conceptualization, by DROPPING OUT MENTION of how the WILDERNESS IS SHRINKING TO ACCOMMODATE THE GROWTH OF THE TOWN, we omit capture of the REAL REALITY of the TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE which comes with the REAL COMBINATION of MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING GROWTH OF THE TOWN together with the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING SHRINKING OF THE WILDERNESS, a COMBINATION THAT SUPPORTS THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IS THE TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE.
IMAGINE IF WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS WERE TO SWITCH FROM OUR “BEING” BASED LANGUAGE wherein INDEPENDENT MATERIAL BEING BASED OBJECTS ARE MOVING ABOUT AND INTERACTING, … TO THE EASTERN AND INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL “FLOW” BASED LANGUAGE wherein EVERYTHING IS IN TRANSFORMATIVE FLUX.
One of the MAJOR DIFFERENCES shows up in the RESPECTIVE JUSTICE SYSTEMS. WESTERN CULTURE JUSTICE IS PURIFICATIONIST based on the IMPUTING OF LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS TO INDEPENDENT HUMAN BEINGS. LOCAL AUTHORING PLAYS A FOUNDATIONAL ROLE IN WESTERN CULTURE REWARDS AND PUNISHMENT SCHEMES, which is VERY DIFFERENT from indigenous aboriginal JUSTICE that is RESTORATIVE, meaning that the social collective (the community) assumes responsibility for RELATIONAL RESONANCE and RELATIONAL DISSONANCE and RESTORATIVE JUSTICE is designed to address RELATIONAL DISSONANCE by RESTORING RELATIONAL RESONANCE (COMMUNITY HARMONY) and this understanding is based on belief in the WEB-OF-LIFE wherein everything is INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT so that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS VIOLENCE with a LOCAL and EXPLICIT AUTHORING SOURCE. THAT CAN ONLY BE APPEARANCE because the REALITY is that EVERYTHING is INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT which means that the outburst of VIOLENCE is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (RELATIONAL) IN ORIGIN. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM OF OUTBURSTS OF VIOLENCE, in this case, because the violence is understood as deriving from the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT RELATIONAL WEB and is merely VENTING through a particular STRAND IN THE WEB, does NOT “SCAPE-GOAT THE LOCAL, EXPLICIT VENT” through which the VIOLENCE manifests since the ORIGIN of the VIOLENCE is understood to be coming from the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (RELATIONAL) SOCIAL MATRIX (from dissonance in the social-relational matrix).
As Nietzsche has reminded us, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “BEING”, it comes from an ERROR OF GRAMMAR ; i.e. “Nothing indeed has exercised a more simple power of persuasion hitherto than the error of Being,” –Nietzsche.
YES, “BEING” IS AN ERROR of GRAMMAR, but since the abstraction of “BEING” has been USED IN WESTERN CULTURE CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES to support the NOTION of LOCAL AUTHORING which has, in turn been given a FOUNDATIONAL ROLE in WESTERN CULTURE REWARDING AND PUNISHING SCHEMES, and through such REWARDING AND PUNISHING, HAVING ESTABLISHED A COMPREHENSIVE SOCIAL HIERARCHY ON THAT BASIS, HAS GIVEN RISER TO A PREDICAMENT KNOWN IN THE SYSTEMS SCIENCES AS “LOCKED-IN BY HIGH SWITCHING COSTS”. THIS SHOWS UP IN THIS CASE BY FACT THAT THE FOUNDATIONAL USE OF “LOCAL AUTHORING” IN WESTERN CULTURE REWARDS AND PUNISHMENTS HAS BY NOW PRODUCED MILLIONS OF REWARDEES THAT ARE POSITIVELY REGARDED (VIRTUOUS CITIZENS) AND MILLIONS OF PUNISHEES WHO ARE NEGATIVELY REGARDED (CRIMINAL AGENTS). THIS BINARY LOGIC JUDGEMENT based DIVISION OF THE POPULACE INTO GOOD AND EVIL FACTIONS “PIVOTS” FROM THE MISTAKEN BELIEF IN “BEING” (“Nothing indeed has exercised a more simple power of persuasion hitherto than the error of Being,”). ONE MIGHT ADD the proviso that THIS BELIEF IN BEING IS CHARACTERISTIC OF WESTERN CULTURE BUT IT IS NOT FOUND IN INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURES NOR IS IT SUPPORTED BY MODERN PHYSICS, WHEREIN EVERYTHING IS RELATED AS IN INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT which is characteristic of CONDENSATIONS in the all-including ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM. IT FOLLOWS THAT JUSTICE MUST BE RESTORATIVE RATHER THAN PURIFICATIONIST DUE TO THE AUTHORING AMBIGUITY INHERENT IN THE INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT STRANDS IN THE WEB RELATIONS.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
LET’S NOW LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM WITH “BEING” FROM ANOTHER ANGLE, AS HAS BEEN DONE BY Neuroscientist Iain McGilchrist:
In modern physics, we have to find a way to describe things purely in relational terms because that is where the PRIMARY UNDERSTANDING LIES; i.e. in the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) since the LOCAL and EXPLICIT is ONLY APPEARANCE (SCHAUMKOMMEN).
The reduction to the LOCAL AND EXPLICIT actually OBSCURES the primary reality which is the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT. The NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT is the source of interconnection and interdependence wherein everything is related as in this affirmation of Chief Seattle; 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.”
As Neuroscientist Iain McGilchrist points out, we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have infused into our thinking (our linguistic conceptualizing scheme) “A WAY OF THINKING THAT IS REDUCTIVE, MECHANISTIC AND HAS TAKEN US OVER, … THAT TREATS THE WORLD AS A SIMPLE RESOURCE TO BE EXPLOITED, THAT’S MADE US ENORMOUSLY POWERFUL, ITS ENABLED US TO BECOME WEALTHY, BUT IT’S ALSO MEANT THAT WE’VE LOST THE MEANS TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD.
“A way of thinking which is reductive, mechanistic has taken us over,” said [neuroscientist] Iain McGilchrist in The Divided Brain. “We behave like people who have right hemisphere damage.
“[It] treats the world as a simple resource to be exploited. It’s made us enormously powerful. It’s enabled us to become wealthy, but it’s also meant that we’ve lost the means to understand the world, to make sense of it, to feel satisfaction and fulfilment through our place in the world.”
WHAT McGilchrist is TALKING ABOUT IS OUR HABIT OF SUBSTITUTING SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC BASED UNDERSTANDING (which reduces everything to a LOCAL, EXPLICIT CONTEXT)… WHERE A LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY LOGIC BASED UNDERSTANDING IS NEEDED (which preserves the NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT (relational) structure of SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY)
THE KEY POINT is that the THE REAL PHYSICAL WORLD is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT and DOES NOT REDUCE TO LOCAL EXPLICIT REPRESENTATION. Thus, a method of communicating or describing must be used which does not WIMP OUT in the LOCAL and EXPLICIT, it must avoid that reduction in order to elicit in the observer, an AWARENESS of that which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT, (e.g. the wave-field aka energy-charged PLENUM) which is the source of INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE.
* * * * * * * * * *
MY SUMMING UP OF THESE ABOVE REVIEWED FINDINGS
First of all, let’s deal with the numerous examples of HOW WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS USE OUR BEING-BASED LANGUAGE TO HIDE THE WAVE-FIELD NATURE OF REALITY.
Examples included the “TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON” and “THERE IS A TIDE IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN” and our non-mention of waiting two weeks for a LOW TIDE to GATHER OYSTERS. The point is that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are in the habit of using ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING PROPOSITIONS. As Goedel’s Theorem reminds us, ALL FINITE PROPOSITIONS OF LOGIC are INCOMPLETE. WHAT IS NOT SAID is that the world has a WAVE-FIELD STRUCTURE wherein there is ALWAYS a combination of FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING together with MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING in which case, for example, we MAY SAY THAT “WE GATHERED OYSTERS FROM NANOOSE BAY” which is a PROPOSITION that is TRUE. IT IS TRUE BUT LIKE ALL FINITE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS IT IS INCOMPLETE (it is missing the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE which is … THE AMBIENT SITUATION IMPROVED OVER A TWO WEEK PERIOD AS THE TIDES BECAME LOWER AND LOWER, SO THAT THE LOW TIDES FACILITATED OUR ACCESS, AT LOW TIDE, TO THE OYSTER BEDS. So, the TIDES are like a LOGIC GATE that ranges from ACCOMMODATING and ENABLING to DISACCOMMODATING and DISABLING, SLOWLY AND STEADILY RISING AND FALLING LIKE AN OCEAN WAVE.
WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE, BECAUSE IT EMPLOYS “BEING” IN A FOUNDATIONAL ROLE, GIVES THE EXPOSURE TO OUR FALLING INTO THE TRAP OF IMPUTING ACTION TO THE “BEING” where THERE IS IN REALITY NO BEING. In cultures with FLOW-BASED (VERB-BASED) LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, the message will be; “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” where EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX, but when we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS GET HOLD OF THIS AND BRING TO BEAR our BEING-based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, the message with be “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods”, as if the TOWN were a “BEING” with its own (DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR based) POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING of GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION of goods. THIS IS THE SOURCE OF AN ARTIFICIAL FRAGMENTATION OF REALITY that is AT ODDS with the REALITY of the ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM where there are CONDENSATIONS such as TOWNINGS in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX.
NOTA BENE: WE CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS; “EITHER” THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE WHEREIN EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX, … “OR”, … “THERE IS A TOWN THAT IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods” where we DO NOT MENTION WHERE OR WHAT THE TOWN IS CONTAINED IN, which implies that WE CAN DEAL WITH THE TOWN AS A THING-IN-ITSELF with ITS OWN POWERS OF AUTHORING GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION as if within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY and INFINITE SPACE.
WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS HAVE OPTED FOR THE BEING-based THING-IN-ITSELF CHOICE OF A NOTIONAL “INDEPENDENT TOWN” with ITS OWN POWERS of AUTHORING GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION, that LIVES WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.
BUT WAIT A MINUTE! BOHM SAYS: “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.”
IF WE ASSUME THERE ARE “BEINGS” IN EMPTY SPACE, WE HAVE TO IMPUTE INTERNAL SOURCING OF THE BEING’S ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT because the EMPTY CONTAINING SPACE cannot explain the dynamics we are witness to. HOW ABOUT IMPLYING THAT THE BEING IS FULL OF ORGANS AND CIRCULATION SYSTEMS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT TO SUPPORT THE NOTION OF A “HUMAN BEING” AS A STAND-ALONE SELF-SUFFICIENT SYSTEM?
If that’s the case, when the CANARY becomes ill, we are NOT GOING TO FIND THE ANSWERS TO ITS ILLNESS IN ITS INTERNAL SYSTEMS, because, as we know from the MINERS’ CANARIES, the CANARY’S FUNCTIONING CANNOT BE SPLIT OFF AND UNDERSTOOD SEPARATELY FROM THE ENVIRONMENT because AS BOHM HAS POINTED OUT, THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM IS THE GROUND FOR THE EXISTENCE OF EVERYTHING, INCLUDING OURSELVES.”
That is, NEITHER THE CANARY NOT THE HUMAN BEING CAN ‘FUNCTION’ “ON ITS OWN” because they are NOT INDEPENDENT SELF-SUFFICIENT BEINGS, they are CONDENSATIONS of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM THEY ARE INCLUDED IN which invokes the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM. Indigenous aboriginal cultures with their FLOW-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES NATURALLY COMPREHEND the less simple BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM as associates with CONDENSATIONS IN THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM wherein HUMANINGS and their ENVIRONMENT are ONE just as CONDENSATIONS and the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM are ONE. THIS IS “NOT” BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, IT IS INSTEAD “NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM WHEREIN THE CONDENSATIONS, LIKE WHORLINGS IN FLOWING, ARE “BOTH” THEMSELVES “AND” THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM THEY SHARE INCLUSION IN.
“To everything there is a season and at time to every purpose”
is an expression that captures the REALITY of our INCLUSION within a DYNAMIC GREATER THAN OURSELVES, THEY WE SHARE INCLUSION IN BUT WHICH WE ARE NOT “IN CHARGE OF”. WHEN WE WAIT FOR TWO WEEKS FOR A LOW TIDE TO COLLECT OYSTERS, we give testimony to our being included in SOMETHING GREATER THAN OURSELVES that offers us opportunities that feed our GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT. WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING THAT IS CONJUGATE TO OUR MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING SELF, and while the FORMER is NONLOCAL and IMLICIT, the LATTER is LOCAL and EXPLICIT as in architecture of WAVES where as LAO TZU reminds us the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT is the TAO that cannot be told but which is the PRIMARY REALITY while the LOCAL and EXPLICIT that we do talk in terms of is only APPEARANCE.
THE NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT IS THE PRIMARY REALITY AND WHILE IT HAS NO BEING-BASED SUBSTANCE (IT IS PURELY RELATIONAL), WE DO HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF ALLUDING TO THE NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT PURELY IN TERMS OF RELATIONS WITHOUT DEPENDENCY ON BEING (THIS APPROACH, CALLED “BOOTSTRAPPING”, CAPTURES THE SHAPES IN A FLUID, CONTINUOUSLY TRANSFORMING WORLD WITHOUT SUCCUMBING TO DEPENDENCY ON THE ABSTRACTION OF BEING)
[Geoffrey Chew]: “when you formulate a question, you have to have some basic concepts that you are accepting in order to formulate the question. But in the bootstrap approach, where the whole system represents a network of relationships without any firm foundation, the description of subject can be begun at a great variety of different places. There isn’t any clear starting point. And the way our theory has developed in the last few years, we quite typically don’t know what questions to ask. We use consistency as the guide, and each increase in the consistency suggests something that is incomplete, but it rarely takes the form of a well-defined question. We are going beyond the whole question-and-answer framework’.

MITAKUYE OYASIN (WE ARE ALL RELATED) acknowledges the NONBEING STRUCTURE OF WAVE-FIELD REALITY
what can we then say about WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE versus indigenous aboriginal language?
WESTERN CULTURE IS USING LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING that;
(A) REDUCES THE ANDROGYNOUS WAVE-FIELD STRUCTURE OF REALITY WHICH CAPTURES TRANSFORMATION (THE REAL, SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED DYNAMIC) TO A TWO-PART PSEUDO-DYNAMIC consisting of a MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING COMPONENT and a FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING COMPONENT .
ALTHOUGH THE ANDROGYNOUS WAVE-FIELD STRUCTURE CONSISTS OF TWO CONJUGATE COMPONENTS, as with a WAVE which consists of MALE-ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING PEAK and FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING TROUGH, IT CANNOT BE UNDERSTOOD BY STUDYING EACH OF THE TWO CONJUGATES SEPARATELY. Another way to express this is that THERE IS NO PEAK that we could isolate and study on its own, and THERE IS NO TROUGH that we could isolate and study on its own because the TROUGH AND PEAK TWO-PART-NESS is only APPEARANCE (SCHAUMKOMMEN).
(B) As Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky has pointed out, WESTERN CULTURE is BURDENED with the MISTAKEN INTERPRETATIONS of Jean Piaget and others who have WRONGLY assumed that the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT can be SPLIT APART from the LOCAL and EXPLICIT in which case the LOCAL and EXPLICIT is used ‘on its own’ while the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (the energy-charged PLENUM that is the source of LOCAL and EXPLICIT CONDENSATIONS, is WRONGLY ASSUMED TO BE A NON-PARTICIPATING ABSOLUTE EMPTY and INFINITE SPACE.
“Though fundamentally different in nature, the development of scientific [local and explicit] and spontaneous [nonlocal and implicit] concepts represents two sides of the same concept formation” –Vygotsky implying a WAVE-BASED STRUCTURE.
In WAVE-BASED STRUCTURE, the LOCAL and EXPLICIT and the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT are CONJUGATES. As Vygotsky points out, Piaget and WESTERN CULTURE generally, have popularist a DOUBLE ERROR which consists of (1) TREATING the LOCAL and EXPLICIT, … and the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT … AS IF THEY ARE TWO SEPARATE ENTITIES and COMPOUNDING this (1st) ERROR by DROPPING OUT, in the educational program, the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT conjugate (in effect substituting absolute empty space for the energy-charged plenum, effectively ORPHANING the CONDENSATIONS by substituting the insulating ground of empty space for the conducting [interconnecting and interdependent] medium of of the energy-charged PLENUM. Vygotsky points out that dropping out the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT MAKES NO SENSE since the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT “IN ITS OWN RIGHT”, but exists ONLY IN CONJUGATE RELATION with the LOCAL and EXPLICIT). If we GO WITH the LOCAL and EXPLICIT “ON ITS OWN”, this is EQUIVALENT TO DROPPING OUT THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM and INSTALLING IN ITS PLACE, ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, SYNTHETICALLY ORPHANING the MATERIAL CONDENSATIONS (implying that they are now LOCAL and EXPLICIT ENTITIES THAT EXIST FULLY AND SOLELY IN THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT RIGHT WITHOUT ANY NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT ENERGY-PLENUM ROOTS.
As Vygotsky explains (p. 157 in Thought and Language)
“We believe that the two processes—the development of spontaneous and nonspontaneous concepts—are related and constantly influence each other. They are parts of a single process: the development of concept formation which is affected by varying external and internal conditions but is essentially a unitary process, not a conflict of antagonistic, mutually exclusive forms of thinking.
…“Our disagreement with Piaget centers on one point only, but an important point. He assumes that development and instruction are entirely separate, incommensurate processes, that the function of instruction is merely to introduce adult ways of thinking, which conflict with the child’s own and eventually supplant them. Such a supposition stems from the old psychological tradition of separating the structural from the functional aspects of development.” –Vygotsky
What Piaget understands as “THE ADULT WAYS OF THINKING” are the SCIENTIFIC (LOCAL and EXPLICIT) ways of thinking, WHICH TO VYGOTSKY, CANNOT BE SPLIT APART ON THEIR OWN REALISTICALLY because, in our actual PHYSICAL AWARENESS, the SCIENTIC and SPONTANEOUS are CONJUGATE and DO NOT EXIST AS TWO SEPARATE FORMS OF THINKING. As Schroedinger and Bohm have similarly pointed out, the LOCAL and EXPLICIT is Schaumkommen (APPEARANCE). WHILE THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE (which means that the LOCAL and EXPLICIT is in CONJUGATE relation with the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT), THERE IS NO “TOWN THAT IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods” and such “BEING” based SPEECH is only used in WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION wherein MATERIAL BEINGS are understood as being situated within, and moving about and interacting within, “AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE” in which case ALL WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT AS FAR AS MOTION GOES, IS THE MOVEMENT OF MATERIAL BODIES IN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE; e.g. the TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods.
This falls into the realm of Goedel’s Theorem of the INCOMPLETENESS OF ALL FINITE SYSTEMS of LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS; e.g. we are not mentioning the conjugate SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS so that PROPOSITION that “THE TOWN IS GROWING”, while TRUE is not the COMPLETE STORY since it fails to mention the SHRINKING of WILDERNESS.
More problematic still is the issue of the MINER’S CANARY where the INCOMPLETENESS in the statement THE CANARIES ARE BEHAVING INSANELY is missing the point that THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CANARY, what’s happening is that the ENVIRONMENT IS BECOMING TOXIC which HUMANS are UNAWARE OF due to their lower sensitivity as compared to CANARIES.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
THESE TWO EXAMPLES, (A) and (B) illustrate how we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have an exposure in our common failure to recognize how the VIOLENT BEHAVIOUR of SOME PEOPLE MAY DERIVE FROM THE ENVIRONMENT THEY ARE IN BECOMING TOXIC FOR THEM BUT NOT FOR THE MAJORITY. That is the case in the Miner’s Canary story.
HOW DOES THIS FIT WITH THE TITLE OF THIS NOTE: WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE SHUTTING OUT THE FEMALE CONJUGATE!
THE FEMALE CONJUGATE, IN WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL COLLECTIVES, IS COMMONLY DROPPED OUT OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING DISCOURSE. INCREASINGLY, WE ARE USING ONLY MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING which is ALL ABOUT “WHAT WE DO”, OUR MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING DYNAMICS such as WE BUILT A TOWN ON THE PRAIRIES or WE ATTACKED IRAN.
MORE AND MORE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE ARE DOING AND LESS AND LESS ARE WE SPEAKING OF OUR BEING INCLUDED IN SOMETHING GREATER THAN OURSELVES. IT IS EVIDENT THAT … “A way of thinking which is reductive, mechanistic has taken us over,” said McGilchrist in The Divided Brain. “We behave like people who have right hemisphere damage.
“A WAY OF THINKING WHICH IS REDUCTIVE, MECHANISTIC HAS TAKEN US OVER, … THAT TREATS THE WORLD AS A SIMPLE RESOURCE TO BE EXPLOITED, THAT’S MADE US ENORMOUSLY POWERFUL, ITS ENABLED US TO BECOME WEALTHY, BUT IT’S ALSO MEANT THAT WE’VE LOST THE MEANS TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD, TO MAKE SENSE OF IT, TO FEEL SATISFACTION AND FULFILMENT THROUGH OUR PLACE IN THE WORLD”. –Neuroscientist Iain McGilchrist
McGilchrist’s view is echoed in the SYSTEMS SCIENCES as follows;
“The above aphorism (The Name of the Devil is Suboptimization’), attributed to Kenneth Boulding, points to the inherent weakness characterizing the mindset and socio‐economic, political, educational and managerial practices of Western Industrial society as it developed over the past 300 years. It has its basis in the analytic‐reductionist scientific paradigm, which, despite the remarkable technological applications it spawned, is inappropriate, conflict‐generating and dysfunctional in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence …” — György Jaros and Martine Dodds-Taljaard (International Society of Systems Sciences)
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, DONALD TRUMP, and AYATOLLAH SEYED MOJTABA KHAMENEI, are the RESPECTIVE LEADERS OF THE ABRAHAMIC RELIGIOUS GROUPS of JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY and ISLAM, all of which have given a FOUNDATIONAL ROLE TO SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM, the LOGIC of GOOD VERSUS EVIL which leads to PURIFICATIONIST ACTIONS that seek to ELIMINATE BAD PEOPLE and PROLIFERATE GOOD PEOPLE.
On the FLIP SIDE OF THE COINAGE of EAST IS EAST AND WEST IS WEST AND NEVER THE TWAIN SHALL MEET, we have indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents. Here the understanding, RATHER THAN BEING GROUNDED IN THE SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM (supporting HEAD-BUTTING POLARIZED DIVISION INTO GOOD OR EVIL resolved with PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE), … is an understanding grounded in LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM WHEREIN EVERYTHING IS RELATED (supporting the resolving of RELATIONAL DISSONANCE by way of HEALING CIRCLES that RESTORE RELATIONAL RESONANCE). This RESTORATIVE JUSTICE APPROACH of the EAST (indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents) acknowledges the natural primacy of the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT over the LOCAL and EXPLICIT.
* * * * * * * *
As the TITLE INDICATES; i.e. WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE SHUTTING OUT THE FEMALE CONJUGATE!
what we have to overcome is our practice of BANISHING OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE by SUBSTITUTING A NOTIONAL ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE INSTEAD OF ACKNOWLEDGING THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, an acknowledgement that requires our UPGRADING from TOO SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM TO LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM.
