How a ‘death in the family’ is Transformation (quantum both/and logic) rather than a ‘loss’
PREFACE: We live in a WAVE-FIELD world that requires a COMPLEX (real + imaginary) LANGUAGE STRUCTURE as employed in Modern physics, indigenous aboriginal languages, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta.
In our ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and in the Common Average European family of languages) we give credit for ACTION-AUTHORED RESULTS to MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING as if the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE DID NOT EXIST, but it DOES EXIST which means that a language architecture that constrains conceptualizatoin to one-sided MALE-ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING, as is the nature of WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE, will produce CONCEPTUALIZATIONS that are INCOMPLETE in that they DROP OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING as is the case in ‘To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose’. This aphorism is reminding us of the WAVE-FIELD NATURE of our sense-experience reality, wherein we cannot attribute action and development simply to MALE ASSERTING as we have engineered into our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE and GRAMMAR based CONCEPTUALIZING, but we must, as Modern physics, indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents do, acknowledge the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE.
But in our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE based CONCEPTUALIZING, we give BINARY LOGIC a FOUNDATIONAL ROLE in which case, we speak only in the one-sided terms of the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING development without acknowledging the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONTRIBUTION which can vary just as well as the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AGENCY can vary. The aphorism ‘To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose’ reminds us, in effect, of the QUANTUM LOGIC structure of reality which is OBSCURED in BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING. We say that ‘the BLOW EITHER shatters the sea-creature’s shell OR DOES NOT, without acknowledging that the shell may be newly formed and fragile or old and hard as rock, so that our WESTERN CULTURE HABIT of LANGUAGE based CONCEPTUALIZING that is ONE-SIDEDLY MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING, FALSELY gives FULL and SOLE CREDIT for the RESULTS of ACTION to the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING without acknowledging an ever-present role of CONJUGATE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING.
As a result, WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE is SIMPLER than indigenous aboriginal language in the same way that Newtonian physics is simpler than Quantum physics. While WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE is grounded in the abstraction of LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL BEING BASED MECHANICS, indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta languages are grounded in NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT FLOW-BASED TRANSFORMATION. While the Newtonian language has a BINARY “EITHER/OR” LOGIC base coming from the assumption that reality is comprised of material objects that are ‘separate from’ and ‘moving about in’ an all-including ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE of INFINITE EXTENT, … the indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta language usage are in accord with Modern physics in being based on the QUANTUM “BOTH/AND” LOGIC based coming from the assumption of an all-including FLUID PLENUM within which the FORMS which comprise the world dynamic are RELATIONAL FORMS which are inegral to the all-including flow aka the WAVE-FIELD or ‘the Tao’, akin to ‘whorlings in the all-including flowing’.
The QUANTUM LOGIC LANGUAGE based worldview of Modern physics, indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta cultures is is LESS SIMPLE than the BINARY LOGIC LANGUAGE based worldview of WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS in the same way that the concept of KAIROS differs from the concept of CHRONOS. CHRONOS is the TIME of the LOCAL, EXPLICIT, EGO, while KAIROS is the TIME of the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT SOUL. In terms of MODERN PHYSICS, CHRONOS is the “REAL” component of the complex WAVE-FIELD while KAIROS is the “IMAGINARY” component of the complex WAVE-FIELD; i.e.
KAIROS = the understanding of the world and who we are are and what we are doing in the LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC based sense of reality wherein we are included in something greater than ourselves so that our understanding of who we are and what we are doing comprehends that we are ‘going with the flow’ whether we like it or not so that our construction is of a simplified substitute world wherein we portray ourselves as the LOCAL AUTHORS of our actions and developments, as if in a TIME-BASED progression. KAIROS is our awareness of inclusion in something beyond our control which can open up and close down opportunity in which case our personal achievements are NOT based ONE-SIDEDLY on our MALE-ASSERTING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS, but depend on the TIDES IN THE AFFAIRS OF MAN that, taken at the flood, can lead on to fortune; i.e. the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD that is in CONJUGATE RELATION with MALE ASSERTING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS can OPEN UP and ACCOMMODATE/ENABLE our MALE ASSERTING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS AND GREATLY AMPLIFY/EMBELLISH THEM.
CHRONOS = the understanding of the world and who we are and what we are doing in the SIMPLE, BINARY LOGIC based sense of a LANGUAGE-based pseudo-reality wherein we portray ourselves as the LOCAL AUTHORS of our own ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS, as if we are ABSOLUTELY EXISTING material forms within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE where our actions and development unfold in TEMPORAL SEQUENCE (CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER), this SIMPLIFIED INTELLECTUAL CHRONOS view arising from BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC FRAGMENTATION of REALITY. Note that ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ is a CHRONOS view wherein things are seen as changing PROGRESSIVELY’over TIME’. This is a VOYEUR VIEW wherein SUBJECT and OBJECT are understood as TWO. In reality we are included in TRANSFORMATION wherein as Shroedinger expounds,“SUBJECT and OBJECT ARE ONLY ONE!”.
The phrase “To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose” expresses that which in Modern physics would be termed the COMPLEX (REAL and IMAGINARY) WAVE-FIELD components of reality, the SEASON referring to our sense-experience of being included in a world wherein “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”. — Shakespeare, Julius Caesar.
In simple terms, WE ARE INCLUDED IN SOMETHING GREATER THAN OURSELVES SO THAT WE ARE NOT THE SIMPLE MALE-ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AUTHORS OF “OUR OWN” LOCAL EXPLICIT ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS, but, as in the manner of drivers in the FLOW of freeway traffic, our movements are relative to the opening of co-created corridors of opportunity, the continuing transforming of which we are included contributors within, but not in ‘control of’. This is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE in our WAVE-FIELD REALITY.
But we can, if we choose (as is the WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE SUPPORTED HABIT), to think of ourselves in the CHRONOS based terms of ‘independent beings with our own self-sourced powers of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and development’ in which case we IGNORE our REAL KAIROS based ROLE as PARTICIPANTS IN THE ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM, … a participation in that which is greater than ourselves by way of our being included in the all-including TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM which is influenced by (all of) our relative actions and developments. To the extent that WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS employ LANGUAGE-constrained THINKING that is in the BINARY LOGIC based terms of INDEPENDENT BEINGS that move about and interact in a notional ABSOLUTE EMPTY, INFINITE SPACE, as in a CHRONOS based dynamic, we become prisoners of a BINARY LOGIC based way of being in the world that is the source of FRAGMENTATION, as Bohm is pointing out.
So, this PREFACE has been included as a reminder of our being included in the all-including TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka the WAVE-FIELD, an inclusion that is OBSCURED when we employ our TOO-SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC based LANGUAGE which is fully capable of constructing ‘pseudo-realities’ based on material forms and their actions and interactions as if in absolute empty and infinite space, … a linguistic conceptualizing approach that is OBSCURANTIST in that once we employ LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS based on SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC actions and developments, the communication need has been filled and there is no longer any ‘OPENING’ to bring into play LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC CONCEPTUALIZATION such as;‘To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose’.
That is, once we say ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ wherein we make no mention of the conjugate SHRINKING of WILDERNESS, our one-sided MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ONLY SIMPLIFICATION, which implies ‘WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE’ which provides a non-participating ‘container’ for the ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALZING ONLY ACTION and DEVELOPMENT, the understanding is COMPLETE albeit in an INCOMPLETE SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC SENSE (in the sense of Goedel’s Theorem of INCOMPLETENESS of all finite systems of BINARY LOGIC)..
Once we accept the BINARY LOGIC PROPOSITION (recall Goedel’s Theorem that all finite logical propositions are INCOMPLETE) that ‘the TOWN IS GROWING’, OUR REALITY CONCEPTUALIZATION IS AN ESTABLISHED ‘TAKE-AWAY’, … been there, know that’, … which in the same fell swoop SHUTS OUT (OBSCURES) the less simple QUANTUM LOGIC proposition, ‘THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’.
“TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” is exemplary of the QUANTUM LOGIC dynamic which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT or in other words ‘RELATIONAL’ (the basic nature of TRANSFORMATION).
Here we can see that in order to architect language to deliver an understanding of reality that is NOT subject to BINARY LOGIC based OBSCURANTISM that DROPS OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE as supports ‘the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’, we need a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING scheme that has a BOTH/AND QUANTUM LOGIC capability wherein the material form is a CONDENSATION of the all-including ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM. This QUANTUM LOGIC relation is captured in the words ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’.
BUT IN THE EVENT THAT LANGUAGE BASED EXPRESSION STARTS OFF WITH the SIMPLE CONCEPTUALIZATION; ‘the TOWN is GROWING’, we have IMPLICITLY INJECTED the ABSTRACTION of an ABOLUTE EMPTY CONTAINING SPACE. The words ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ comprise, as Nietzsche pointed out, ‘the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR’ that invents the abstraction of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and development. BUT THERE IS NO “LOCAL AUTHORING” in the REAL SENSE-EXPERIENCE WORLD OF THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM since TRANSFORMATION is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational).
Our SENSE-EXPERIENCE does NOT support the SIMPLE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION, ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ with its implied LOCAL POWER OF AUTHORING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENT, but our INTELLECT is fully capable of such BINARY LOGIC based ABSTRACT CONCEPTUALIZATION and also our EMPLOYING of such ABSTRACT CONCEPTUALIZATION as our INTELLECTUAL ABSTRACTION based OPERATIVE REALITY. Thus, for example, we proceed with the notion that we are GROWING our TOWNS and our AGRICULTURAL and INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTS …. WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING AT THE SAME TIME, THE CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS, in which case what is actually going on is TRANSFORMATION and there is NO SUCH THING IN SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY (but only in INTELLECTUAL ABSTRACTION based PSEUDO-REALITY) AS “THE GROWTH OF TOWNS AND THE GROWTH of AGRICULTURAL and INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTS”, such words EMBODYING THE OBSCURANTISM of DROPPING OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE that is the IMAGINARY component of the COMPLEX REAL + IMAGINARY WAVE-FIELD DYNAMIC.
NOTA BENE: The NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE IS THE FOUNDATIONAL REALITY WHILE THE LOCAL and EXPLICIT ‘MATERIAL CONDENSATIONS’ are SECONDARY ‘SCHAUMKOMMEN’ (APPEARANCE), as Bohm, Schroedinger and other Modern Physics interpreters have pointed out. This is why the less simple QUANTUM LOGIC ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ , which is the KAIROS (to everything there is a season) qualitative INCLUSIONAL understanding, is the first order understanding of reality while the simple CHRONOS (tempus fugit, the linear ‘passage of time’) is the quantitative understanding as in linear duration; ‘we do not have much time left in our lives’.
CHRONOS is the ONE-SIDED (MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING) realm of ‘what things do’ as in ‘done over time’ or CHRONOLOGICALLY as in GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT which is BINARY LOGIC based (were a ‘thing-in-itself’ is EITHER ounger and smaller OR older and larger) which says NOTHING about qualitative or androgynous change. If we use simple TIME as chronological development, we are using only the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING DEVELOPMENT and DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE, these two together supporting the LESS SIMPLE dynamic of TRANSFORMATION, which lies beyon reach of GROWTH which is a one-sided dynamic as if transpiring in EMPTY SPACE. KAIROS brings to bear then sense of ‘opportune timing’ which is no longer ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING.
To say “the seed sprouts”, is a ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING BINARY LOGIC TRUTH which implies ‘in an absolute empty and infinite space which is implies a CHRONOLOGICAL framing giving a LINEAR SEQUENCE of DEVELOPMENTAL EVENTS. However, our QUALITATIVE sense-experience is our feeling of being included in the arrival of the WARMTH of SPRING and this INCLUSIONAL SENSE-EXPERIENCE is beyond articulation in the SIMPLE TERMS of WHAT THINGS DO or HOW THINGS CHANGE which is all that BINARY LOGIC is capable of. CONCEPTUALIZATION that involves SENSE-EXPERIENCING OF INCLUSION entails LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC expression such as WITHIN THE SOLAR IRRADIATED INCUBATOR OF THE WARMING SOIL, the seed’s built-in understanding that ‘to everything there is a season and a time to every purpose was invoked so that the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING influence and the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING dynamic unfolded in CONJUGATE SYMBIOTIC RELATION, the OPPORTUNE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONTAINING CONDITION inducing conjugate expression of OPPORTUNE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING. Here we can see the QUANTUM LOGIC BOTH/AND RELATION where there is JUST ONE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM within which, a WHORLING or CONDENSATION giving the APPEARANCE of TWO when, in fact, there is only ONE; i.e. the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.
ONLY IF WE FOCUS SINGLE-MINDEDLY ON THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE (as if it were floating in absolute empty and infinite space) do we CONTRIVE the LINGUISTIC DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR BINARY LOGIC “LOCAL AUTHOR” based CONCEPTUALIZING of QUOTE/UNQUOTE “REALITY” .
ONCE we start speaking (using LANGUAGE based CONCEPTUALIZATION) wherein actions and results develop in a forward in time fashion, as if in an EMPTY SPACE (so that there is no ANDROGYNOUS relation) and employ ONE-SIDED MALE-ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING terms such as GROWTH, we OBSCURE the LESS SIMPLE (YET MORE TRUE) REALITY of ANDROGYNOUS TRANSFORMATION. While the SIMPLE abstraction of GROWTH goes together with CHRONOS, the LESS SIMPLE concept of TRANSFORMATION goes together with KAIROS. OVER TIME, so we say, the Colorado River ‘carved out’ the GRAND CANYON, but this PROMOTION of the MALE ASSERTING as the AUTHORING SOURCE, DROPS OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING DYNAMIC wherein it was the opening of the valley that seduced the coming together of male rivulets into streams and streams into a “RAGING RIVER” which we then say is the MALE ASSERTING AUTHOR of the CARVING OUT of the GRAND CANYON. This is a MISTAKE since it is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING VALLEY that inductively shaped the development of the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING RIVER. In other words, it is the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT that is the mother of the LOCAL and EXPLICIT, as also in the relation between KAIROS and CHRONOS.
One term — chronos— expresses the fundamental conception of time in measure, the quantity of duration, the length of periodicity, the age of an object or artifact, and the rate of acceleration as applied to identifiable bodies, whether on the surface of the earth or in the firmament beyond. The questions relevant to this conception of time are; ‘How fast?’, ‘How frequent?’, ‘How old’?’ and the answers to these questions can be given, in principle at least, in cardinal numbers or in terms of limits that approach these numbers. The other term —kairos— points to a qualitative character of time, to the special position an event or action occupies in a series, to a season when something appropriately happens that cannot happen at any time, but only at ‘that time’, in a time that marks an opportunity which may not recur. The question especially relevant to kairos time is ‘when?’, ‘At what time?’ ‘Kairos’, or ‘the right time’, as the term is often translated, involves ordinality or the conception of a special temporal position, … such that what happens benefits from being launched within a propitious, opportune moment for decision and action.
At the end of the day, one can see that QUANTUM LOGIC, like KAIROS, offers a LESS SIMPLE understanding of reality than the more simple BINARY LOGIC. which, like the more simple CHRONOS, offers us ONLY A SIMPLE LINEAR PROGRESSIVE CONCEPTUALIZING OF CHANGE as with GROWTH where the LESS SIMPLE ALTERNATIVE is TRANSFORMATION which takes us from CHRONOS to KAIROS.
We know how CONSTRUCTION ‘works’; i.e. we assume that there is an imaginary thing-in-itself such as a TOWN which is floating around in psychological empty space , naked and without any landscape to situate itself within, so that BUILDERS are given PLANS of the TOWN as if it will be possible to construct the TOWN and sit it down on top of the LANDSCAPE so that we do not have to admit to the true (sense-experience affirmed) reality wherein the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE is the PRIMARY REALITY and thus there is no such thing as the CONSTRUCTION of a TOWN, but there is instead, “TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”, and this “TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” is an ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING that we ourselves are included in.
So, while CHRONOS goes with SIMPLE GROWTH and BINARY LOGIC, KAIROS goes with LESS SIMPLE TRANSFORMATION and QUANTUM LOGIC.
“TO EVERY THING THERE IS A SEASON AND A TIME TO EVERY PURPOSE” affirms that it is only NATURAL to accept that WE ARE NOT INDEPENDENT BEINGS IN ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE as our BINARY LOGIC LANGUAGE HABIT leads us to believe and which has as ASSERTING DIRECTLY OUT OF OUR NOTIONAL LOCAL AUTHORING POWERS, but given that we are INCLUSIONS in the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM, it ‘makes sense’ for us to let our actions be shaped by the potentials for us to cultivate resonance in our relations within the world we share inclusion.
RECALL that Chronos is the time of the LOCAL, EXPLICIT Ego while Kairos is the time of the NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT Soul. While CHRONOS “DROPS OUT” the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE KAIROS EMBODIES IT. That is, CHRONOS and KAIROS are related in the same manner as the REAL and IMAGINARY components of the COMPLEX WAVE-FIELD.

How a ‘death in the family’ is transformation (quantum both/and logic) rather than a ‘loss’ (binary either/or logic) in accord with modern physics and indigenous aboriginal, Buddhist/Taoist and Advaita Vedanta understanding.
This understanding that the world dynamic is that of our inclusion in an all-including transforming relational continuum is consistent with Modern physics and indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta.
The indigenous aboriginal aphorism ‘mitakuye oyasin’ (everything is related) captures the Modern physics understanding of reality as an all-including, continually transforming, ENERGY-CHARGE-PLENUM (David Bohm), otherwise known as the WAVE-FIELD in which material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the WAVE-FIELD, so that we, ourselves, as CONDENSATIONS of the ONE ALL-INCLUDING WAVE-FIELD are QUANTUM LOGIC features that GATHER and SCATTER within the WAVE-FIELD, rather than ABSOLUTE MATERIAL BEINGS that move around and interact within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, which is the BINARY LOGIC based CONCEPTUALIZATION that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have built into our LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE.
Our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE based CONCEPTUALIZING, because it is BINARY LOGIC based, acknowledges ONLY THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE, DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE so that we speak, for example, in terms such as ‘the TOWN is growing’ (male asserting/actualizing only) without acknowledging the conjugate ‘shrinking of WILDERNESS’ (female accommodating/enabling conjugate).
In the WESTERN CULTURE over-simplistic BINARY LOGIC based CONCEPTUALIZING of ‘REALITY’ that we have given the FOUNDATIONAL ROLE TO in our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE, we speak in the BINARY LOGIC terms of BIRTH and DEATH, rather than in the Modern physics consistent QUANTUM LOGIC terms of CONDENSATION and ASSIMILATION wherein there are relational features that GATHER and SCATTER in the all-including fluid continuum (the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD).
The QUANTUM LOGIC REALITY is the REALITY as we know it from our SENSE-EXPERIENCE of inclusion therein as affirmed in our Modern physics understanding where, as Bohm (coming from modern physics) , ‘systems scientists’, and others are emphasizing;
“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
We live “in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence …” — György Jaros and Martine Dodds-Taljaard (International Society of Systems Sciences)
“Imagine there’s no countries It isn’t hard to do” —John Lennon, ‘IMAGINE’
John Lennon is making the point that such LANGUAGE based ABSTRACTION as ‘DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE’ do not over-ride our sense-experience of inclusion in the all-including transforming relational continuum as condensations therein. The ‘INDEPENDENT NATION’ as ‘the LOCAL AUTHOR of GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION’ simply DOES NOT EXIST.
THE WESTERN CULTURE PROBLEM OF LANGUAGE-BASED FRAGMENTATION BEGINS with this imposing of the ABSTRACT NOTION OF LOCAL AUTHORING by way of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR; e.g. ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ (no, the town is NOT GROWING as in the BINARY LOGIC CONCEPTUALIZING), but (yes, THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’) which is the QUANTUM LOGIC reality which does not have any dependency on LOCAL, EXPLICIT BEING.
Our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE generates an ABSTRACT, SIMPLIFIED (by way of FRAGMENTATION) ‘SUBSTITUTE REALITY’ that we are employing as our OPERATIVE REALITY. This substitution puts the LINGUISTICALLY FRAGMENTED SUBSTITUTE REALITY INTO AN UNNATURAL PRECEDENCE OVER OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY, and this the SOURCE of WESTERN CULTURE PSYCHOLOGICAL and PHYSICAL FRAGMENTATION.
* * *
David Bohm and Friedrich Nietzsche both pointed out that our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE is BREEDING FRAGMENTATION. Nietzsche pointed to the source of fragmentation being the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR where, each time we use this combination, we impute the existence of a LOCAL AUTHORING SOURCE, as in the example, ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ which is a ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ONLY proposition (all such one-sided male asserting logic propositions are incomplete as Goedel’s Theorem points out). The ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ONLY propositions “DROP OUT” the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE yet BOTH MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING “AND” FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATES are needed in LANGUAGE as is the understanding of Modern physics and indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta.
In theLANGUAGES of the afore-mentioned, one speaks the equivalent of ‘There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ where ‘the TOWNING’ is no longer understood as a BINARY LOGIC based thing-in-itself situated in EMPTY SPACE of INFINITE EXTENT but is now understood in the QUANTUM (BOTH/AND) LOGIC terms of a CONDENSATION of the ONE, ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka the WAVE-FIELD wherein EVERYTHING IS RELATED (all things are condensations of the one all-including WAVE-FIELD), a relational understanding of reality as captured in the indigenous aboriginal ‘mitakuye oyasin’ (everything is related).
The message conveyed in the distinction between Chronos and Kairos is the same message as conveyed in the distinction between REAL and IMAGINARY components of COMPLEX VARIABLES that arise in the mathematical description of our WAVE-FIELD reality.
If we recall expressions such as ‘To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose’ (as in the Bible) we are being reminded on the ANDROGYNOUS nature of our sense-experience reality; i.e. for everyone of us, our sense-experience is continually reminding us of how the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING is primary and inductively pull forth MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING, s QUANTUM LOGIC combination wherein only MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING is LOCAL and EXPLICIT (fully visible) with the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (non-visible). In WAVE-FIELD dynamics, there is always a FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING that emerges TOGETHER with the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING coniunctio oppositorum.
This ANDROGYNOUS ‘quantum logic’ relation is also found 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. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures”.
[[The flood and ebb of a tide that is opening up or closing down opportunity for us characterizes our sense-experience of inclusion in WAVE-FIELD reality]]
What is not obvious, is that our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE USAGE drops out the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE of WAVE-FIELD REALITY and has us ‘going with’ the one-sided MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate on its own so that we speak in BINARY LOGIC terms of ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ without mentioning the CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS (as acknowledged in the QUANTUM LOGIC terms of ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ .
That is, we DROP OUT of our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION, the less simple dynamic of TRANSFORMATION, substituting in its place, the simple MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate dynamic of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and development (we make the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING OUT TO BE A GREAT EMTINESS).
NOTA BENE: This simplification that we build into WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE by DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE is the SOURCE OF FRAGMENTATION in our LANGUAGE-STIMULATED PSYCHOLOGICAL CONCEPTUALIZATION of ‘REALITY’
So, let’s summarize the PROBLEMATIC SITUATION we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are putting ourselves in, that is being FUELLED by the simple one-sided MALE-ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ONLY language architecture we are using, where we make statements such as ‘the TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods and services’ which is DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE, which, when we do include it, gives LESS SIMPLE linguistic conceptualizations equivalent to ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING landscape’ wherein, THERE IS NO LONGER ANY IMPUTING OF LOCAL AUTHORING and the dynamic implied is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) as is the basic nature of TRANSFORMATION.
In the case of ‘TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING landscape’, the conceptualization is ANDROGYNOUS as in WAVE-MOTION wherein the FEMALE-ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING and the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING “ARE AS ONE”. This is the basic WAVE-FIELD or QUANTUM LOGIC (BOTH/AND) structure of the world of our sense-experience which is COMPLEX in the mathematical sense of having both REAL and IMAGINARY components as is the nature of the WAVE-FIELD dynamic.
PROBLEM:
Consider the difference between chronos and kairos which opens up another view into the same difference as separates the REAL and IMAGINARY conjugates of COMPLEX WAVE-FIELD REALITY;
TIME, TIMES and the “RIGHT TIME” https://www.jstor.org/stable/27902109
CHRONOS AND KAIROS
Despite the frivolous note implied in the popular expression ‘the Greeks had a word for it’, the literal truth is that they did! Time and again we find reflected in the terminology developed by these ancient seekers after wisdom, an attention to important distinctions and a faithfulness to the details of actual experience which are truly remarkable. The Greek thinkers had, is every classical scholar and student of Greek philosophy knows, a finely developed philosophical language, one sensitive no less to the unusual pregnant experience than to the familiar details of ordinary life.
A striking example of the sensitivity in question is furnished by the fact that the classical literature reveals two Greek words for ‘time’ — chronos and kairos. These words embrace the uniform time of the cosmic system, the time which, according to Newton, aequabiliter fluit, and the time of opportunity or occasion come and gone which marks the significant moments of historical action. One term — chronos-— expresses the fundamental conception of time in measure, the quantity of duration, the length of periodicity, the age of an object or artifact, and the rate of acceleration as applied to identifiable bodies, whether on the surface of the earth or in the firmament beyond. The questions relevant to this conception of time are; ‘How fast?’, ‘How frequent?’, ‘How old’?’ and the answers to these questions can be given, in principle at least, in cardinal numbers or in terms of limits that approach these numbers. The other term —kairos— points to a qualitative character of time, to the special position an event or action occupies in a series, to a season when something appropriately happens that cannot happen at any time, but only at ‘that time’, in a time that marks an opportunity which may not recur. The question especially relevant to kairos time is ‘when?’, ‘At what time?’ ‘Kairos’, or ‘the right time’, as the term is often translated, involves ordinality or the conception of a special temporal position, … such that what happens benefits from being launched within a propitious, opportune moment for decision or action.
* * *
Everywhere in our sense-experience this WAVE-FIELD combination of REAL and IMAGINARY keeps showing up and I would relate this to CHRONOS and KAIROS with CHRONOS being our language-based capture of reality in terms of a local, explicit mechanistic clockwork like progression while KAIROS corresponds to the nonlocal and implicit IMAGINARY component of COMPLEX WAVE-FIELD reality. While the REAL (male-asserting/actualizing) WAVE-FIELD component is LOCAL and EXPLICIT, the IMAGINARY (female-accommodating/enabling) WAVE-FIELD COMPONENT is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT.
We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are in the habit of using LANGUAGE to construct CONCEPTUALIZATIONS that are LOCAL and EXPLICIT such as ‘the TOWN is GROWING’
But this is SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC (EITHER/OR LOGIC) based whereas LESS SIMPLE “BOTH/AND” QUANTUM LOGIC is needed to express the ANDROGYNOUS WAVE-FIELD DYNAMIC wherein material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the WAVE-FIELD as where ‘there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ (condensing in the transforming wave-field).
To everything there is a season (female accommodating/enabling aka Kairos) and a time to every purpose (male asserting/actualizing aka Chronos) suggests a ‘way of relating within our sense-experience reality’ that is observed IN THE EAST but which is a practice that has been LOST to WESTERN CULTURE since once Chronos is given precedence, Chronos being simpler than Kairos, by (unnaturally) giving precedence to Chronos, Kairos is shut out. In other words, the balance between Kairos and Chronos is only possible where Kairos is given precedence and Chronos plays a supporting role. The meticulous attention given planting and cultivating food crops is to no avail if this process is kicked off in mid-winter (i.e. if Kairos is demoted to secondary . In this case, the quality and care of the planting and cultivating, however excellent, will be of no avail, since precedence must be given to Kairos; i.e. ‘to everything there is a season and a time to every purpose’.
