P.S. to: … HERE IS THE NEEDED WAVE-BASED WORKING STRUCTURE OF THE WORLD

 

RIGHT NOW, we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE USING A FORM OF LANGUAGE THAT IS FRAGMENTATATIVE, as Bohm has pointed out (as discussed in the previous [main] message prior to this P.S.).

For us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON, WE HAVE TO SHIFT GEARS (IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING) FROM OUR USE OF TOO-SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM TO LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM.  This UPGRADE FROM THING-BASED LANGUAGE TO FLOW-BASED LANGUAGE GETS US OUT OF OUR CONSERVATIVE-LIBERAL POLARIZED HEAD-BUTTING STANDOFF.  In ERICH JANTSCH’S THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS, WE ARE NOT STUCK WITH THE CONSERVATIVE (LOWEST AWARENESS LEVEL 3) AND LIBERAL (NEXT TO LOWEST AWARENESS LEVEL 2)  STANDOFF BECAUSE THESE TWO BINARY OPPOSITE LEVELS, BEING BINARY, OFFER NO OTHER LOGICAL POSSIBILITIES, BUT BY SHIFTING FROM SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM to LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM (as with indigenous aboriginal “STRANDS IN THE WEB” and MODERN PHYSICS CONDENSATIONS OF THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, we OPEN THE DOOR TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF AWARENESS, LEVEL 1 AWARENESS OF TRANSFORMATION.  While LEVEL 3 CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS is based on THE INDEPENDENT NATION DOING ITS OWN THING, LEVEL 2 LIBERAL AWARENESS is based on an ALLIANCE of COOPERATING NATIONS where the participants are NOT all like DONALD TRUMP who insists on having everything HIS WAY.  CONSERVATIVES are ATTRACTED BY THE NON-COMPROMISING, SINGLE-MINDED POWER of LEVEL 1 AWARENESS, whereas LIBERALS are WILLING TO MAKE COMPROMISES THAT CONSERVATIVES WILL NOT ALLOW.   Because BOTH CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS are in the habit of using SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC, and because it is possible to ORGANIZE “EITHER” as a MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING HIGH PRESSURE TRANSMITTER or as a FEMALE ACCOMMMODATING/ENABLING SEDUCTIVE RECEPTOR.

 

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

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

 

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

 

“The title of this chapter is ‘Fragmentation and wholeness’. It is especially important to consider this question today, for fragmentation is now very widespread, not only throughout society, but also in each individual; and this is leading to a kind of general confusion of the mind, which creates an endless series of problems and interferes with our clarity of perception so seriously as to prevent us from being able to solve most of them. …”

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

TODAY, WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS SUFFER FROM HAVING BIG EGOS WHICH SHOW UP IN OUR MODERN DAY LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS which as Nietzsche has pointed out, we FABRICATE USING THE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING and GRAMMAR which “MAKES US THE PSEUDO-AUTHOR OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS; e.g. OUR LANGUAGE SUPPORTS THE CONSTRUCTION OF LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS SUCH AS “WE BUILT THE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT OF MAR-A-LAGO”, which is 100% MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING (i.e. which DROPS OUT the FACT THAT THIS “DEVELOPMENT” COMES WITH A CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF THE VIRGIN LANDSCAPE and the displacement of its FLORA AND FAUNA.

 

WHEN WE SPEAK IN TERMS OF “CONSTRUCTION” and DROP OUT ALL MENTION OF THE CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS  AND THUS DROP OUT ALL MENTION OF THE “TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE WHICH IS WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON”, we INVENT A REDUCED PSEUDO-REALITY BASED ON THE LOCAL and EXPLICIT WHICH OBSCURES THE TRANSFORMING OF THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT LANDSCAPE IN WHICH THE “NEW DEVELOPMENT” (e.g. MAR A LAGO) IS INCLUDED.

 

WOULD IT BE MORE TRUTHFUL TO SPEAK IN TERMS OF THE TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE OR IN TERMS OF HAVING CONSTRUCTED AN AMAZING NEW DEVELOPMENT CALLED MAR-A-LAGO?

 

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.

 

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’

 

WHEN WE GIVE CREDIT TO DONALD TRUMP FOR ‘AUTHORING THE CONSTRUCTION OF MAR-A-LAGO’, WE ARE MAKING USE OF THE “DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR” and CREATING LOCAL, EXPLICIT “THINGS-THAT-BE” that, SO WE SAY, may continue to GROW after we have established their “BIRTH”.

 

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.

 

WHEN WE ORIENT OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING TO “BEINGS THAT DO STUFF” WE “FRAGMENT” REALITY, the REALITY of our INCLUSION IN THE ONE, ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.  That’s what Bohm is WARNING US ABOUT; i.e. how our USE OF LANGUAGE, which has been SHIFTING AWAY FROM USAGE WHERE WE “ATTUNE” TO THE SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED REALITY OF OUR INCLUSION IN A WORLD WHEREIN; …  “TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON AND TIME TO EVERY PURPOSE”  

 

AS TIME GOES BY, WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE MORE AND MORE LEAVING THEIR HOMES EVERY MORNING “ON A MISSION” SUCH AS A NINE-TO-FIVE COMMITMENT TO BOLTING WHEELS ONTO CAR BODIES ON AN ASSEMBLY LINE, MAKING US FORGETFUL OF THE FACT THAT, …  

 

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting–
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

IS THERE SOMETHING GENERAL WE CAN EXTRACT FROM THIS?

 

YES THERE IS.  REMEMBER THE MINER’S CANARY STORY?  When the CANARY STARTS ACTING BONKERS, WE SHOULD NOT LAUNCH AND INVESTIGATION INTO ‘WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CANARY’, but we should ask ourselves WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE ENVIRONMENT?, … IS IT TOXIC?    WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS HAVE ADDICTED OURSELVES TO TOO SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM based THINKING WHEN WHAT WE NEED IS LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of THE INCLUDING MEDIUM.

 

The MEDIUM thus serves as ANOTHER LOGIC GATE which makes TWO LOGIC GATES;  ONE LOGIC GATE IS ‘IS THE CANARY SANE OR CRAZY’ and the OTHER LOGIC GATE IS “IS THE ENVIRONMENT HEALTHY OR TOXIC’?  the COMBINATIONS could be;

 

SANE CANARY, HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT,

 

CRAZY CANARY, HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT

 

CRAZY CANARY, TOXIC ENVIRONMENT

 

SANE CANARY, TOXIC ENVIRONMENT

 

WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE INSENSITIVE TO TOXIC ENVIRONMENTS SO THAT BECAUSE OUR ONLY TOOL IS A HAMMAR, EVERYING LOOKS LIKE A NAIL (i.e. even if the environmental toxicity is the source of crazy behaviour in the sane canary, the only question we are asking is whether the CANARY is SANE or CRAZY (we assume that the ENVIRONMENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT BECAUSE THERE ARE HORDES OF US INSENSITIVE FOLKS WHO ARE BEHAVING NORMALLY SO THAT TOXIC ENVIRONMENT IS NOT AN OPTION, and the FINDING is therefore CRAZY CANARY, ASSUMED HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT, and the RESPONSE IS, EXTERMINATE THE CRAZY CANARY.

 

* * * * * * * *

 

IF WE THINK THAT ERROR IN LOGIC IS “FAR OUT” and “UNLIKELY”, check out the disagreement between Vygotsky and Piaget in regard to HOW WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHENERNTS EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN, RIGHT NOW, in 2026!   OUR SCHEME FOR EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN IS FOLLOWING THE SAME MISTAKEN PATH AS VYGOTSKY ACCUSES PIAGET OF TAKING.


“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 is implying a WAVE-BASED STRUCTURE.

 

“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

 

(PIAGET is missing the point that language has a wave-based structure and is ASSUMING that LEARNING can be by way of ONE OR THE OTHER of TWO SEPARATE APPROACHES, the SCIENTIFIC APPROACH and the SPONTANEOUS APPROACH, and PIAGET has US AND OUR CHILDREN OPTING FOR THE SCIENTIFIC APPROACH which is based on the LOCAL and EXPLICIT rather than the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (SPONTANEOUS)

 

PROBLEM! NOTED BY VYGOTSKY, IT IS A MISTAKE TO SPLIT APART THE SCIENTIFIC AND THE SPONTANEOUS, AS PIAGET IS HAVING US DO, BECAUSE THEY ARE CONJUGATES (“TWO SIDES OF THE SAME CONCEPT FORMATION”) AND CONJUGATE STRUCTURE ONLY APPEARS TO HAVE TWO PARTS; e.g. A WAVE HAS A PEAK (local and explicit) and a TROUGH (nonlocal and implicit) but the UNDERSTANDING OF A WAVE IS LOST if one SPLITS THE WAVE INTO TWO SEPARATE PARTS and makes use ONLY OF THE PEAK because it is LOCAL and EXPLICIT and THAT IS MORE CONCISE AND EXACT AND IS NOT ‘BLURRED’ by having dependency on the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT.

 

BUT THE REALITY IS THAT THE LOCAL AND EXPLICIT (wave-peak) IS ONLY ‘APPEARANCE’ (Schaumkommen) while the PHYSICAL REALITY is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (wave-trough).    .

 

WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE “MAKING THIS MISTAKE ALL OVER THE PLACE BECAUSE WE HAVE GIVEN THE MISTAKE A FOUNDATIONAL ROLE IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME; e.g. we say “THE TOWN IS GROWING” which splits apart THE TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE by DROPPING OUT FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING (substituting an implied ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE), hence references to THE DEA ABSCONDITA (Goddess in hiding).

 

INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS and others with FLOW-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES use VERBS rather than NOUNS and thus DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKES that come with GIVING “BEING” A FOUNDATIONAL ROLE; e.g. when we say “THE TOWN IS GROWING” we make NO MENTION of the conjugate “SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS” and thus NO MENTION OF THE TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE which acknowledges BOTH CONJUGATES of the SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS and GROWING OF THE TOWN.  One might ask “WHO SPEAKS FOR WOLF” as in the indigenous aboriginal folk story by that name, the point being the incompleteness of all finite logical propositions, so that we must give priority to our sense-experience over and above that given to our rhetorical conceptualizations.

 

In indigenous aboriginal culture as in Modern physics, our SENSE-EXPERIENCE is our experience of INCLUSION IN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM while WESTERN CULTURE “REALITY” is based on BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED (empty space) MEDIUM.  This TOO SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC is what DIVIDES PEOPLE INTO POLARIZED, OPPOSING CONSERVATIVE – LIBERAL FACTIONS.  It is TOO SIMPLE in the sense that the world of our sense-experience is NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM based, wherein material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM and this UNDERSTANDING supports RESTORATIVE JUSTICE and DOES NOT SUPPORT PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE which uses linguistic conceptualizing that IMPUTES LOCAL, EXPLICIT BEING to CONDENSATIONS in the PLENUM which are instead NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT STRANDS IN THE INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT WEB, in which case THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT (ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT ARE NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT IN ORIGIN).

 

BECAUSE ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT ARE NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT IN ORIGIN, WHERE THERE IS EMERGENT RELATIONAL DISSONANCE, THE SENSIBLE RESPONSE IS THE RESTORING OF RELATIONAL RESONANCE (HARMONY) aka RESTORATIVE JUSTICE.  The WESTERN CULTURE SEARCH FOR LOCAL, EXPLICIT AUTHORING SOURCES TO REWARD OR PUNISH DEPENDING ON WHETHER THEY ARE PERCEIVED AS THE LOCAL AUTHORS OF GOOD WORKS OR THE LOCAL AUTHORS OF BAD WORKS is OVER-SIMPLISTIC BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM, BUT THERE IS ALWAYS AN ‘INCLUDING MEDIUM’ aka the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM which supports BALANCE and IMBALANCE where OUTBURSTS OF VIOLENCE are understood as IMBALANCE which can be resolved by RESTORATIVE JUSTICE.   The BINARY LOGIC based IDENTIFICATION of LOCAL, EXPLICIT AUTHORS OF VIOLENCE IS AN OVER-SIMPLISTIC MISTAKE which stems from the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR, as Nietzsche has pointed out.

 

MODERN PHYSICS and INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURE BOTH SUPPORT NONBINARY LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM based RESTORATIVE JUSTICE where OUTBURSTS OF VIOLENCE are understood to have a STRANDS IN THE WEB structure which means that the SOURCE is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT, calling for a NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM “HEALING CIRCLE” remediating that is “BALANCE-RESTORING”, rather than a BINARY LOGIC based PURIFICATIONIST ELIMINATION OF A NOTIONAL “EVIL AUTHOR” (the WESTERN CULTURE SCAPE-GOATING OF THE INDENTIFIED AUTHOR that is IN DENIAL OF THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (RELATIONAL) STRAND-IN-THE-WEB ORIGIN OF RELATIONAL DISSONANCE).  The “STRAND DOES NOT STIR UP THE WEB”, the “WEB STIRS UP THE STRAND”.

 

MODERN PHYSICS:   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.” (David Bohm).    [the CONDENSATION of the PLENUM is “BOTH” itself “AND” the PLENUM it is included in]

 

INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURE: 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)

 

EVERYTHING IS INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT AS WITH STRANDS IN A WEB.  THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT INFLUENCE OF THE WEB PREVAILS OVER THE LOCAL AND EXPLICIT APPEARANCE OF THE STRANDS; i.e. THERE ARE NO “INDEPENDENT LOCAL AUTHORS”, hence JUSTICE IS RESTORATIVE.

END OF P.S. to: …. HERE IS THE NEEDED WAVE-BASED WORKING STRUCTURE OF THE WORLD

HERE IS THE NEEDED WAVE-BASED WORKING STRUCTURE OF THE WORLD

 

Erich Jantsch came close to capturing this understanding, or one could say that JANTSCH DID CAPTURE IT, but that DOES NOT MEAN that he was able to find the right LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME to make it easily graspable by everyone.   I will explain why this is and how our different LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING OPTIONS divide us into CONSERVATIVES, LIBERALS and TRANSFORMATIONALISTS;

 

CONSERVATIVES like to focus on constructing MAR A LAGO’s like TRUMP

 

LIBERALS like new construction but WORRY about the loss of WILDERNESS and in general, WHAT IS CONSUMED by the MAR A LAGO CONSTRUCTIOn.

 

TRANSFORMATIONALISTS (indigenous aboriginals are TRANSFORMATIONALISTS ; i.e. they are like Chief Seattle, sensitive to the reality that EVERYTHING IS RELATED and our actions go beyond CONSUMPTION and PRODUCTION to TRANSFORMATION, which is the topic of F. David Peat’s “BLACKFOOT PHYSICS”.  

 

As Modern physics (Bohm, Peat et al) has shown, we are INCLUSIONS WITHIN a TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.  This has been expressed in Modern physics in terms of material forms being CONDENSATIONS of the all-including energy-charged PLENUM and captured in indigenous aboriginal languages in terms of material forms being STRANDS IN A WEB, showing that everything is related (MITAKUYE OYASIN) or in other words, all material forms are INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT as is the case with CONDENSATIONS of and within an all-including energy-charged PLENUM.

 

THIS “REALITY” we experience as being INCLUDED WITHIN AN ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM which is LEVEL 1, the MOST COMPLETE or “LEAST SIMPLE” of THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS, all of which are available to ALL OF US, but SOME OF US PREFER TO “USE AS OUR OPERATIVE REALITY”, the SIMPLIFIED LEVELS OF AWARENESS; i.e. the CONSERVATIVE LEVEL 3 where we LIMIT OUR AWARENESS to “WHAT WE DO” such as BUILDING a MAR A LAGO.  This LEVEL 3 AWARENESS “IGNORES”  AWARENESS LEVELS 2 (LIBERAL where new construction COMES AT THE PRICE OF LOSS OF WILDERNESS) and LEVEL 1 (which acknowledges that there ONE, OVERALL DYNAMIC which includes the TWO CONJUGATES of (LEVEL 3 AWARENESS and LEVEL 2 AWARENESS), i.e. THE OVERALL TRANSFORMING OF THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM).

 

NOTA BENE!!! WHILE LIMITING OUR “AWARENESS” TO CONSERVATIVE LEVEL 3 (SIMPLEST AWARENESS; i.e. NEW CONSTRUCTION) and/or to LIBERAL LEVEL 2 (SECOND SIMPLEST AWARENESS, … OF HOW NEW CONSTRUCTION COMES TOGETHER WITH LOSS OF WILDERNESS) has us focusing on “WHAT WE DO, as if WE ARE IN CHARGE, … BY CONTRAST, … LEVEL 1 AWARENESS of TRANSFORMATION is an AWARENESS OF OUR “INCLUSION WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM) wherein “TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON AND A TIME TO EVERY PURPOSE” (i.e. we are included in something greater than us).    

 

LEVEL 1 AWARENESS is the FOUNDATIONAL AWARENESS of MODERN PHYSICS … AND ALSO THE FOUNDATIONAL AWARENESS OF INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURE AND IT ACKNOWLEDGES “OUR INCLUSION WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM”

 

MODERN PHYSICS:   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).    

 

INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURE: 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)

 

SO, however USEFUL the SIMPLER LEVELS OF AWARENESS; i.e. CONSERVATIVE LEVEL 3 AWARENESS and LIBERAL LEVEL 2 AWARENESS MAY BE, THEY ARE BOTH “INCOMPLETE” AND BOTH FALL SHORT OF INFORMING US ON OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED INCLUSION IN THE ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.  That is, BOTH LEVEL 3 CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS and LEVEL 2 LIBERAL AWARENESS GIVE US PORTRAYALS OF OURSELVES AS INDEPENDENT BEINGS WITH OUR OWN POWERS OF AUTHORING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS … “AS IF WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE”.    THIS IS NOTHING LIKE LEVEL 1 AWARENESS WHEREIN WE ARE INCLUSIONS WITHIN AN ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING CONTINUUM..

 

EVIDENTLY, THE NEEDED WAVE-BASED WORKING STRUCTURE OF THE WORLD DIFFERS “RADICALLY” FROM BOTH THE CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL WORLD VIEW, IN THAT WHILE THE FORMER ACNOWLEDGES OUR INCLUSION AS “STRANDS IN THE WEB OF LIFE”, the WESTERN CULTURE STANDARDS of CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL WORLD VIEW wherein, THANKS TO THE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR (as it is called by Nietzsche) WE USE THIS FORM OF LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING TO MAKE OURSELVES OUT TO BE “LOCAL AUTHORS OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS”.

 

AS A MATTER OF FACT, BOTH AWARENESS LEVELS 3 (CONSERVATIVE) and LEVEL 2 (LIBERAL) INCORPORATE THE “FALSEHOOD” OF “OUR” POSSESSION OF LOCAL AUTHORING POWERS, OBSCURING THE SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED REALITY THAT WE ARE INCLUDED WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM, and SUBSTITUTING AN UNREAL AND ABSTRACT PSEUDO-REALITY WHEREIN WE PRESENT OURSELVES AS INDEPENDENT MATERIAL BEINGS (THANKS TO NAMING) NOTIONALLY WITH OUR OWN “GRAMMAR-GIVEN” POWERS OF AUTHORING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT, THAT MOVE ABOUT AND INTERACT WITHIN A NOTIONAL ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, which means that all we have to focus on to understand what is going on IS OURSELVES AND OUR OWN ACTIONS (since we are using the NAMING and GRAMMAR based (DOUBLE ERROR BASED) CONTRIVANCE OF ENDOWING OURSELVES WITH NAMING-INSTANTIATED LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL BEING, and WITH GRAMMAR-GIVEN POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT.    THIS IS “DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR BASED BULLSHIT AS NIETZSCHE POINTS OUT!

 

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.

 

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’

 

AS POINTED OUT BY JANTSCH IN HIS “THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS”, the HIGHEST LEVEL OF AWARENESS IS WHERE WE UNDERSTAND OURSELVES TO BE “STRANDS IN THE WEB OF LIFE” aka INCLUSIONS within the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM wherein EVERYTHING IS RELATED (INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT) AS IN THE EXPRESSION ‘MITAKUYE OYASIN” meaning “EVERYTHING IS RELATED”.

 

AS NIETZSCHE IS POINTING OUT, THERE IS NO “BEING-BASED LOCAL AUTHORING”.  WHAT THERE IS, IS THE ALL-INCLUDING, TRANSFORMING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.  In other words, while Jantsch is showing us that we are able to CONCEPTUALIZE REALITY using THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS, Nietzsche is REJECTING LEVELS OF AWARENESS 3 (CONSERVATIVE) and 2 (LIBERAL) because they are BEING BASED which means that they are BINARY LOGIC BASED (A THING EITHER EXISTS OR IT DOES NOT EXIST).  MEANWHILE, LEVEL 1 AWARENESS (TRANSFORMATION) requires NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM wherein SPACE IS NOT EMPTY but is an ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM within which material forms are CONDENSATIONS (i.e. CONDENSATIONS of the energy-charged PLENUM are AT THE SAME TIME, “BOTH” themselves “AND” the energy-charged PLENUM they share inclusion in.

 

* * * * * * * * *

 

WHAT THIS MEANS is that WESTERN CULTURE’S PERSISTING ‘POLARIZING HANG-UP’ WHERE HALF OF THE PEOPLE SUPPORT THE CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS LEVEL 3 and THE OTHER HALF SUPPORT THE LIBERAL AWARENESS LEVEL 2,  CONSTITUTES A DIVISIVE POLARIZING DISAGREEMENT that is “BLOCKING US” FROM ACCESSING THE MOST FULLY INFORMING, LEAST SIMPLE LEVEL OF AWARENESS, LEVEL 1 AWARENESS, which is understood in BOTH Modern physics and Indigenous aboriginal culture as follows:

 

MODERN PHYSICS:   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.” (David Bohm).    [the CONDENSATION of the PLENUM is “BOTH” itself “AND” the PLENUM it is included in]

 

INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURE: 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

SUMMARY AND OVERVIEW:

 

WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING GIVES US A CHOICE OF THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS, the SIMPLEST TWO LEVELS ARE LABELLED ‘CONSERVATIVE’ and ‘LIBERAL’ which are in the form of VOYEUR VIEWS OF WHAT WE COMMONLY REFER TO AS ‘REALITY’ but, of course, a VOYEUR VIEW of things is where WE, the OBSERVER, is IMPOSING OUR JUDGEMENT as to WHAT IS “TAKING PLACE OUT THERE”.   This is where we SPEAK in such terms as ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING LARGER’.  This concept of “GROWTH” of a local, explicit thing-in-itself, is supported by the VOYEUR VIEW wherein we commonly impose an ABSTRACT ABSOLUTE REFERENCE FRAME which allows us to COMPARE THE THING as it CURRENTLY IS, to THE SAME THING AS IF FORMERLY WAS, like putting a pencil mark on a kitchen door frame to monitor the GROWTH of one’s child RELATIVE TO ITSELF (a child when fully grown will double their height at age 2 yrs.).

 

IN REALITY, when a TOWN GROWS, there is a conjugate SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS which involves an overall TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE.  In other words, “GROWTH” is INNATELY TOO SIMPLE A CONCEPT to describe what is actually going on (the LANDSCAPE is TRANSFORMING).  GROWTH is a form of measure applied to ENTITIES with LOCAL, EXPLICIT ONTOLOGICAL PRESENCE (FRAGMENTATION) that requires the use of a REFERENCE FRAME while TRANSFORMATION is purely RELATIONAL and without dependence on LOCAL, EXPLICIT ONTOLOGICAL PERSISTENCE.  The “TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” may include “TOWNINGS” and “RIVERINGS” but since the whole energy-charged PLENUM is in flux, the reality is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT without any LOCAL and EXPLICIT foundation (the “LOCAL and EXPLICIT” is only “APPEARANCE” aka “SCHAUMKOMMEN”).  What is REALLY GOING ON is, in indigenous aboriginal terms, ‘Mitakuye Oyasin’ (EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX).

 

In shifting from a linguistic conceptualizing scheme based on FLOW where one says “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”, to a “BEING-BASED” linguistic conceptualizing scheme, one says “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods which ‘makes it sound’ as if THE TOWN HAS ITS OWN DYNAMICS; i.e. its own LOCAL POWERS OF AUTHORING GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION of goods.  NOTE THAT A NEW TYPE OF LOGIC is REQUIRED in moving from the understanding that “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” where the TOWNING is an INCLUDED FEATURE WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE WITHOUT “ITS OWN LOCAL, EXPLICIT BEING and WITHOUT … ITS OWN POWERS OF AUTHORING GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION.  The use of LANGUAGE to impart, notionally, LOCAL EXPLICIT BEING to things by using the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR is the source of PSEUDO-FRAGMENTATION of the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.  Bohm ‘rants’ on this problem of FRAGMENTATION as follows;

 

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

 

The title of this chapter is ‘Fragmentation and wholeness’. It is especially important to consider this question today, for fragmentation is now very widespread, not only throughout society, but also in each individual; and this is leading to a kind of general confusion of the mind, which creates an endless series of problems and interferes with our clarity of perception so seriously as to prevent us from being able to solve most of them.

 

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’s highlighting of how WESTERN CULTURE SOCIETY … “has developed in such a way that it is broken up into separate nations and different religious, political, economic, racial groups, etc.”  ties to the findings in this essay; “HERE IS THE NEEDED WAVE-BASED WORKING STRUCTURE OF THE WORLD”.  In particular, to Jantsch’s THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS that is explaining HOW FRAGMENTATION is occurring by way of SELECTIVELY SHUTTING DOWN PORTIONS OF OUR AWARENESS.  Let’s not forget that our SENSE-EXPERIENCE SUPPORTS AWARENESS LEVEL 1, the LEAST SIMPLE AWARENESS WHICH IS OF OUR INCLUSION IN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX and where there is NO SUCH THING AS LOCAL, EXPLICIT ENTITIES, with GRAMMAR-given POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING of ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT.  THAT IS BULLSHIT based on LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION THAT IS USING A FOUNDATION OF (TOO SIMPLE) BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM.  As Bohm and others have shown, the WAVE-FIELD REALITY that we are included manifests as the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM wherein there are CONDENSATIONS, these two being in a NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM relationship wherein EVERYTHING (all of the condensations) is INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT.

 

BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED (empty space) MEDIUM IS TOO SIMPLE AND INCAPABLE OF SUPPORTING A LOGICAL UNDERSTANDING of the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING (energy-charged plenum) MEDIUM.  The EYES that look at us from out of a HEAD that is constraining its THINKING to simple BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDING MEDIUM (the empty space medium) CLOUD OVER when the discussion opens the door to NONBINARY BOTH/ANDLOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM issues where;  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.” (David Bohm).    and/or 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

THE TAKE-AWAY POINT THAT THOSE WHO ARE CURRENTLY WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS MUST NOT MISS (since they expose the INADEQUACY OF THE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM LOGIC, IS THAT THOSE LIMITING THEIR AWARENESS TO CONSERVATIVE AND LIBERAL AWARENESS LEVELS ARE “BLOCKING OUT” ACCESS to FIRST and LEAST SIMPLE OF THE THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS, THE TRANSFORMATIONAL LEVEL OF AWARENESS.

 

THE CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL LEVELS OF AWARENESS ARE BOTH TOO-SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC BASED, WHICH MEANS THAT THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF A LOGICAL GRASP OF THE STRAND-IN-THE-WEB which involves the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, for example; (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.

 

DONALD TRUMP IS INCLUDED IN THE SAME WORLD HE IS BOMBING, WHATEVER HE DOES TO IRAN, HE DOES TO HIMSELF (AND HIS FAMILY). THIS DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THE TOO SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM “VOYEUR VIEW” of what is going on in IRAN, which is NOT THE REALITY because we all share inclusion in the ONE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM and those DOTTED LINES ON MAPS that define the INDEPENDENCE of purportedly SEPARATE NATIONS whose BOUNDARIES have no impact on the WINDS and CLOUDS and RIVERS and WILDGEESE, which makes talk in terms of WHAT THIS NATION DOES and WHAT THAT NATION DOES “HIGHLY SUSPECT” (to say the least) since the INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE is UNDENIABLE and our use of speech based on the simple combination of NAMING and GRAMMAR (the U.S. does such and such … or … Iran does such and such) are exemplary of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR.

 

IF YOU, THE READER, ARE A PASSPORT-CARRYING WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENT LIKE ME, … who has already sworn an oath of allegiance to a PIE-IN-THE-SKY imaginary line bounded pseudo-reality, … it is awkward to get into a discussion that opens the door to AWARENESS LEVEL 1 wherein EVERYTHING IS RELATED as in the ONE, ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM with is included CONDENSATIONS.  Right now, LEVEL 1 AWARENESS is predominantly populated by indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents while WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS divide themselves into LEVEL 3 AWARE CONSERVATIVES and LEVEL 2 AWARE LIBERALS who are too busy disagreeing with one another to open up to the REALITY of there being a LEVEL 1 AWARENESS which RESOLVES THE POLARIZING CONFLICT between LEVEL 3 CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS and LEVEL 2 LIBERAL AWARENESS, both of which grounded in the FALSE NOTION of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and development, which, as Nietzsche has pointed out, is the artificial artifact of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR;

 

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.” 

 

THERE’S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, SO LONG AS WE GIVE A FOUNDATIONAL ROLE IN LANGUAGE TO BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED (empty space) MEDIUM, WE BLOCK OUR ACCESS TO NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, which means BLOCKING OUR ACCESS TO THE UNDERSTANDING THAT;  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.” (David Bohm).    and likewise; …  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
