HOW I GOT TO MY WAVE-BASED WORLDVIEW

My STORY in regard to (HOW I GOT TO MY WAVE-BASED WORLDVIEW, that puts me in the same camp with Modern physics, indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta Adherents)… STARTS with my REJECTION of the common WESTERN CULTURE practice of “WRITING ONE’S RÉSUMÉ” and “MAKING IT LOOK GOOD”. 

[When I use the term “WESTERN CULTURE” I am most often referring to those oriented to the use of SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDUM (The assumption that we are independent beings insulated from one another by ABSOLUTE EMPTY and INFINITE SPACE) which is a BELIEF rooted in the Abrahamic religions of JUDAISM (as practiced by Benjamin Netanyahu), CHRISTIANITY (as practiced by Donald Trump and ISLAM (as practiced by Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei).

As a 17 year old in high school, when the teacher asked us to practice writing our résumés for entering into the ‘job market’, I INTUITIVELY SMELLED A RAT, and it was tied to the Teacher’s suggesting that we develop a skill for embellishing REALITY by pretending that WE WERE THE FULL AND SOLE AUTHORS of actions and achievements WHICH IN REALITY COULD NOT BE SEPARATED FROM THE SUPPORT RECEIVED FROM PARENTS, FRIENDS and FAMILY, the AMBIENT SOCIAL-RELATIONAL CONTAINING FIELD within which I was a SUPPORTED OCCUPANT.

I would LATER find out that there were names for this TRICKERY of the DROPPING-OUT OF ALL MENTION OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONTRIBUTION such as “THE DEA ABSCONDITA” (the Goddess in Hiding) where we would SPEAK IN TERMS THAT MADE IT APPEAR AS IF WE, AS AN INDEPENDENT INDIVIDUAL, WERE THE FULL AND SOLE MALE ASSERTING AUTHOR OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS with NO MENTION of the SUPPORTIVE AMBIANCE; i.e. the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING SUPPORT TEAM of FAMILY AND FRIENDS, which paved the way for our advancement and gave HUGE SUPPORT, to “MANY OF US”, leaving others who had LITTLE SUCH SUPPORT at a disadvantage in WHAT OUR CULTURE HAD US CLAIM AS BEING “OUR” (PERSONALLY AUTHORED) ACHIEVEMENTS.

What I had BUMPED INTO was a WESTERN CULTURE SIMPLIFYING CONCEPTUALIZATION SCHEME known as the ANALYTIC-REDUCTIONIST SCIENTIFIC PARADIGM  which the SYSTEMS SCIENCES EXPOSED, by showing how in it was supporting a SIMPLIFIED PSEUDO-REALITY that we (WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS) were now in the habit of employing as our “OPERATIVE REALITY””.  The RESULT has been that our popular chatter has been taking the WESTERN CULTURE GENERAL PUBLIC to that same place as I had rejected as a teenager, which I had no name for at the time, but which I HAD REALIZED IS THE SOURCE OF A DECEPTION by DROPPING OUT ALL MENTION OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE that ALWAYS accompanies our MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING dynamics.  The FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING OPPORTUNITY WEB that is an OPPORTUNITY ACCESSING AID PROVIDED BY PARENTS, FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COMMUNITY, is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (part of a relational matrix) THAT CLEARLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE to our LOCAL and EXPLICIT MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING (OPPORTUNITY-ENABLED) ACHIEVEMENTS.

in HOW COULD WE ACCEPT THE “TRUTH” OF OUR OWN CLAIMS OF MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ACHIEVEMENTS WITHOUT MENTIONING THEIR DEPENDENCE ON FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING OPPORTUNITY?  Al Capone’s son is telling the TRUTH about his rapid advancement on the job, but what we don’t mention is how it came about that so many school teachers spent so much time ‘bending over backwards’ to tutor and council a single student.  BUT IT IS TRUE that A.C. jr. achieved those top grades that he claimed in writing his résumé, what ‘seems odd’ about this unfolding story is coming from the fact that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are in the habit of DROPPING OUT ALL MENTION OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate which is an ever-present influence on all dynamics.  It is only WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING that presents the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING as  if it were a STAND-ALONE DYNAMIC (i.e. as if it were occurring in an ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE so that we could give FULL AND SOLE CREDIT FOR an OUTCOME to the ASSERTING MALE.  

WESTERN CULTURE JUSTICE will credit the AUTHOR of the PUNCH that shatters the skull of a person with an eggshell-thin skull, with full and sole AUTHORSHIP.

The OWNER OF THE CONDOM FACTORY WILL BE CREDITED WITH THE SUCCESS OF HIS BUSINESS regardless of the fact that the factory opened immediately after the commencement of the AIDS EPIDEMIC.

There are many more such examples which illustrate the phenomenon of the DEA ABSCONDITA (GODDESS IN HIDING) which reminds us that “IN THE WORLD OF OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE” a MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZATION (the local and explicit action) does not exist other than in combination with a FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE.   This is what Mach is reminding us in his statement that; “Purely mechanical phenomena do not exist, … we should beware lest the intellectual machinery, employed in the representation of the world on the stage of thought, be regarded as the basis of the real world.” – Ernst Mach, The Science of Mechanics

BUT BEWARE because we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS HAVE MADE PURELY MECHANICAL PHENOMENA foundational to the analytic‐reductionist scientific paradigm, which leads to FRAGMENTATION and SUBOPTIMIZATION of the “FRAGMENT”, as pointed out by the SYSTEMS SCIENCES;

“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)

WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS “PRETEND”, in our linguistic conceptualizations, that WE ARE INDIVIDUALS with OUR OWN POWERS OF AUTHORING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS and that is how our WESTERN CULTURE JUSTICE SYSTEM WORKS (i.e. it does NOT WORK in the manner of indigenous aboriginal RESTORATIVE JUSTICE wherein there is acknowledgement of the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (RELATIONAL) SOURCING of all actions and development.   DID AL CAPONE’S SON REALLY DESERVE THE TOP MARKS THAT HIS TEACHERS GAVE HIM, or was there an UNMENTIONED FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING DEA ABSCONDITA (GODDESS IN HIDING) that was EMBELLISHING his GRADINGS?   IS THE LOCAL AND EXPLICIT ACCOUNTING OF THINGS TELLING US THE FULL STORY or are there NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT AMBIANCE INFLUENCES that are  TOPSIDING what we get to SEE in LOCAL and EXPLICIT TERMS?

We can understand what Brutus was alluding to in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar re AN ENVIRONMENTAL AMBIANCE BASED OVER-RIDE AS TO WHAT IS PLAYING OUT;… “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.”.

IS THIS REAL?   ARE THERE SUCH “OUT-OF-OUR-CONTROL NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT AMBIANT INFLUENCES THAT “OVER-RIDE” OUR PERSONALLY AUTHORED LOCAL and EXPLICIT ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS?”  so that it makes sense for us to move into position like a surfer waiting to catch a powerful breaking wave and become empowered by it?  MAYBE THIS IS WHY INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS, TAOISTS/BUDDHISTS and ADVAITA VEDANTA ADHERENTS ARE USING FLOW-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES SINCE they acknowledge a STRAND-IN-THE-WEB or CONDENSATION in the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM STRUCTURE to our dynamics in which case, we acknowledge that we are included in something greater (nonlocal and implicit) than what comes from our own (local and explicit) making; “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.

GOODBYE TO THE PURPORTED LEGITIMACY OF ALL PROPOSITIONS FEATURING ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING DYNAMICS, … HELLO TO THE LEGITIMACY OF ANDROGYNOUS LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS WHEREIN THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING OF THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM INCLUDES WITHIN IT, the LOCAL and EXPLICIT MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING DYNAMIC.

In this case, NOT ONLY are we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS SCREWING UP IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME by PROMOTING THE SECONDARY (APPEARANCE-BASED) LOCAL AND EXPLICIT TO PRIMARY REALITY STATUS (and in the PROCESS, DISCARDING THE LEGITIMATE PRIMARY REALITY WHICH IS NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT BY SUBSTITUTING FOR IT, AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE).  This is what Nietzsche has termed “THE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR” that sets up the notion of LOCAL AUTHORING AGENCY as in ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods’, … which OBSCURES the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT REALITY wherein ‘THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ where EVERYTHING IS IN TRANSFORMATIVE FLUX.

THE PITFALL HERE IS THAT WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE DROPPING OUT OF OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, THE NATURAL PRIMACY OF FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING which is embodied in the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, … and substituting in its place the ABSTRACTION of ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.   INSTEAD OF THE AUTHORING AGENCY BEING SITUATED WITHIN THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT, THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION THAN TO RESITUATE IT WITHIN THE LOCAL AND EXPLICIT (because we are saying that everything else is EMPTY SPACE).  But everything else is NOT REALLY EMPTY SPACE, that is just our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that is imposing that EMPTINESS and since we are SHIFTING THE AUTHORING AGENCY OUT OF THE NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT, which we are reducing to empty space, the AUTHORING AGENCY MUST BE RELOCATED and the only option for the RELOCATION is the LOCAL and EXPLICIT since we have REDUCED the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT to EMPTINESS. “IT IS OUR WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING DESIGN THAT HAS DONE THIS; i.e. IT IS OUR WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE THAT IS RELOCATING THE SOURCE OF AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS FROM THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM) TO THE LOCAL and EXPLICIT (MATERIAL BEINGS).   THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENS THAT EASTERN CULTURE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE (where the understanding is that the AUTHORING of actions and developments is of NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT ORIGIN) is traded out for WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE (where the understanding is that the AUTHORING of actions and developments is of LOCAL and EXPLICIT ORIGIN).

The REALITY IS NOT THAT SPACE IS EMPTY, which is the false notion that forces us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS to SHIFT THE SOURCE OF AUTHORING AGENCY WHICH IS, IN REALITY SITUATED WITHIN THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM (now an empty space) INTO THE ONLY POSSIBLE LOGICAL ALTERNATIVE WHICH IS THE LOCAL and EXPLICIT CONDENSATIONS, EVEN THOUGH CONDENSATIONS DO NOT HAVE A PRIMARY ONTOLOGICAL STATUS (they are only APPEARANCE based in the manner of WHORLINGS in FLOWING) where it is impossible to SCOOP OUT A WHORLING from the FLOWING since its SEEMING INDEPENDENT EXISTENCE is only APPEARANCE (Schroedinger’s Schaumkommen).

WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE IS HAPPENING WITHIN OUR ARCHITECTING OF LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES, AND THERE IS A MAJOR ERROR BEING MADE IN OUR WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING DESIGN WHICH IS THE “DROPPING OUT” OF THE “FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE” AND THE SUBSTITUTING IN ITS PLACE OF AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.  NOTE THAT IN THE WORLD OF OUR SENSE EXPERIENCE, THERE IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL AMBIANCE BASED OVER-RIDE AS TO WHAT PLAYS OUT IN THE WORLD OF OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE OF INCLUSION THEREIN; i.e. “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.” –Brutus, in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar.

WESTERN CULTURE HAS BUILT INTO ITS (OUR) LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, THE DROPPING OUT OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE which conveys the REALITY that, while we can speak of our having a MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CAPABILITY, as Goedel’s Theorem reminds us (i.e. if we think of it), ALL FINITE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS ARE INCOMPLETE) and here we know, IF WE REFLECT ON IT, that WE ARE INCLUDED IN A DYNAMIC GREATER THAN OURSELVES (we are only strands in the web) which is what Shakespeare’s script is reminding us of; i.e. we are situationally included in a WAVE-FIELD WORLD wherein our MALE ASSERTIVE/ACTUALIZING actions and developments are NOT SIMPLY AUTHORED BY US but are SECONDARY to the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING DYNAMICS WE ARE SITUATIONALLY INCLUDED IN which give rise to TIDES IN OUR AFFAIRS where OPPORTUNITIES are continually opening up for us and often quickly closing down, and we are very familiar with our having to deliberate as to whether to engage with this or than opportunity in the continuing stream of opportunities which are like ‘tides in our affairs.  IT IS CONFUSING THE WAY WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE “WORKS” IN THAT OUR SPEAKING OF THINGS MAKES IT “SOUND” AS IF WE ARE THE FULL AND SOLE LOCAL AUTHORS OF OUR ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS even if we are in a pushing and shoving crowd dynamic (or traffic jam) where our WESTERN CULTURE JUSTICE insists on having us answer TOO SIMPLE QUESTIONS such as DID YOU BUMP INTO HER OR NOT? In such cases where we are in crowd dynamics akin to demolition derbies, WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE will simplify the FOCUS by assuming a BINARY LOGIC PERPETRATOR – VICTIM RELATION when the REALITY is far more complex because, as is understood and accepted in indigenous aboriginal culture EVERYTHING IS RELATED (mitakuye oyasin) as in INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT so that RESTORATIVE JUSTICE which assumes a NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT AUTHORING SOURCE makes more sense than PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE which assumes that the LOCAL and EXPLICIT “APPEARANCE” captures what is going on, which it NEVER DOES because we share inclusion in a transforming relational continuum. 

The NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT nature of the DYNAMICS of the world we share inclusion in, is supported by Modern physics and is the FOUNDATIONAL ASSUMPTION for RESTORATIVE JUSTICE and it means that a Jeffrey Epstein and a Ghislaine Maxwell will NOT be SCAPE-GOATED as they are in WESTERN CULTURE, where the PURIFICATIONIST MAJORITY are deemed innocent because they are seen as INDEPENDENT BEINGS that have not been proven guilty.  Those caught holding the smoking gun in indigenous aboriginal culture are understood to be the VENTS for dysfunction that has developed within the social relational matrix (the matrix of STRANDS IN THE WEB) where, because everything is INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT, the REMEDY for emergent outbursts of VIOLENCE involves treating the full NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT social relational matrix as with the HEALING CIRCLE.

The RÉSUME-WRITING INSTRUCTION I WAS TAUGHT (THAT MY TEACHERS WERE CHARGED WITH TEACHING ME) “DROPPED OUT MENTION” of our AMBIENT SUPPORTIVE BACKUP of family and friends which for some of us was HUGE and for others ALMOST NON-EXISTENT.  I DID NOT LIKE THE OBVIOUS DISHONESTY BUILT INTO THIS RÉSUMÉ-WRITING APPROACH, and little did I know, as a teen, that THE DELIBERATE AND DISHONEST EMBELLISHMENT OF ONE’S ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS, by way of FAILING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE INFLUENCE, WAS A DECEPTION CHARACTERISTIC OF “WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENCY”

WHAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS SERIOUS MISTAKES THAT OUR WESTERN CULTURE SOCIETY IS TEACHING US.

I would start by pointing out that I would “ENDORSE” the LIST OF SERIOUS MISTAKES OUR WESTERN CULTURE SOCIETY IS TEACHING US, THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT FORTH BY David Bohm, Irwin Schroedinger and Lev Vygotsky; i.e.

-1- WESTERN CULTURE makes the mistake of SPLITTING APART, in our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, the ANDROGYNOUS WAVE-FIELD STRUCTURE of the all-including energy-charged PLENUM that we are CONDENSATIONS in, and DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE, SO THAT WE ARE BASING OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS SOLELY ON MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AS IF WITHIN A NOTIONAL ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.   NOTE THAT THIS AMOUNTS TO OUR REMOVING OF THE WAVE-FIELD STRUCTURE from our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS OF REALITY, SINCE the WAVE-FIELD STRUCTURE IS CONSTITUTED BY THE DUALITY OF FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING (which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT [relational], … in conjugate relation with LOCAL and EXPLICIT [being-based] MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING).

-2- As the RESULT of ERROR -1-, i.e. the DROPPING OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE (leaving only the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE “ON ITS OWN”, our common WESTERN CULTURE linguistic conceptualizing scheme is grounded in TOO-SIMPLE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM “ON ITS OWN”.  As Vygotsky has pointed out, in his critique of Piaget (“Our disagreement with Piaget centers on one point only, but an important point.”,   Vygotsky goes on the describe how Piaget makes the DOUBLE ERROR of (A) Splitting apart the LOCAL and EXPLICIT (wave-peak) APPEARANCE from (B) the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (wave-trough) REALITY.   As Vygotsky points out, these are NOT TWO SEPARATE THINGS, they are ONE (wave-form) THING.  [NOTE:  Vygotsky while describing the WAVE phenomena, does not actually use the term ‘WAVE’ but describes the WAVE STRUCTURE using terms for the TWO SIDES of an ANDROGYNOUS structure as SCIENTIFIC (local and explicit as in male asserting/actualizing) and SPONTANEOUS (nonlocal and implicit as in female accommodating/enabling)

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.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Vygotsky, in “Thought and Language” describes how PIAGET and WESTERN CULTURE generally MAKES TWO COMPOUNDING MISTAKES as follows (MISTAKE 1 to recognize the WAVE STRUCTURE in nature by describing the LOCAL and EXPLICIT (PEAK) component and the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (TROUGH) component, … BUT ERRING by not acknowledging that these two are CONJUGATES and that THEY DO NOT OPERATE ON THEIR OWN. Piaget thus recommends that teachers should TEACH ONLY THE LOCAL and EXPLICIT aspect because the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT aspect is too confusing to students.   As Vygotsky points out, Piaget is MISSING THE UNDERSTANDING that these TWO COMPONENTS DO NOT EXIST AS INDEPENDENT ENTITIES, they only exist as CONJUGATES.   But language allows us to speak in the one-sided terms of “The TOWN IS GROWING” out of the context of the conjugate “SHINKING OF WILDERNESS” where the ONLY REALITY is the ANDROGYNOUS REALITY of the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE wherein BOTH CONJUGATES are in play as ONE operative UNUUM.  PIAGET has thus infused MISTAKEN THINKING INTO CHILDREN through education that OBSCURES the WAVE STRUCTURE in NATURE;

“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

The TEACHING approach of PIAGET which is prevalent in WESTERN CULTURE EDUCATING is to FOCUS on the LOCAL and EXPLICIT while IGNORING the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT, missing the point that the LOCAL and EXPLICIT is only “APPEARANCE” (Schaumkommen). The LOCAL and EXPLICIT is the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING while the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING which we are DROPPING OUT OF OUR WESTERN CULTURE MODE of LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING.

-3- SUMMARY OF My STORY in regard (HOW I GOT TO MY WAVE-BASED WORLDVIEW, that puts me in the same CAMP as Modern physics, indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta Adherents) starts with my REJECTION of the common WESTERN CULTURE practice of “WRITING ONE’S RÉSUMÉ” and “MAKING ONESELF LOOK GOOD” due to the fact that it encouraged the DROPPING OUT (NOT MENTIONING) THE AMBIENT FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING SUPPORT that is CONJUGATE to our MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING performance.

One can read, within the above 2 points, how our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING APPROACH IS DROPPING OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE and UTILIZING A ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING FORM OF LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING wherein, for example, one speaks in terms such as ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING” without mentioning the conjugate SHRINKING of WILDERNESS and/or the overall TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE.  This USE OF ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING “LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS” is a WESTERN CULTURE PRACTICE that is in COMMON USE and it infuses CONFUSION into our social dynamic BECAUSE of its DROP-OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate.  There is an INCOMPLETENESS to the TRUE LOGICAL PROPOSITION that ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’ so that while people may INVEST IN GROWTH, they are at the same time fuelling the SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS yet DROPPING OUT MENTION of such SHRINKING of WILDERNESS and thus DROPPING OUT MENTION of the overall TRANSFORMING of the LANDSCAPE.  This IMPORTANT DROP-OUT does not occur in FLOW-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING such as that employed in Modern physics, indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta where one says the equivalent of THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX.

The reader may reflect on how many people, like Donald Trump, celebrate the construction of new developments such as Mar-a-Laga as if that is ‘the whole story’ without feeling, as is common in indigenous aboriginal culture, REMORSE for the LOSS of WILDERNESS and WILDERNESS FLORA AND FAUNA that ‘comes with it’.  We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS DON’T FEEL THIS LOSS (as much as indigenous aboriginals) because in our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, we commonly DROP OUT MENTION of all but the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate which we see as a POSITIVE ACHIEVEMENT, but which in indigenous aboriginal minds is understood in the more comprehensive sense of TRANFORMATION of the landscape which includes the loss of FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING such as the LOSS of WILDERNESS and WILDERNESS FLORA AND FAUNA.

So, in my STORY of HOW I GOT TO MY WAVE-BASED WORLDVIEW, that put me into the same CAMP as indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta Adherents by way of my REJECTION of the common WESTERN CULTURE practice of “WRITING ONE’S RÉSUMÉ” and “MAKING MYSELF LOOK GOOD”, I CAN NOW SHARE HOW IMPORTANT it NOW is to me, to acknowledge the contributions of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING AMBIANCE that can OVERSHADOW our personal male asserting/actualizing powers, as implied by “There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; …”.

WHETHER IT WAS WESTERN CULTURE EGO THAT CAUSED IT, OR SOMETHING ELSE, WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS HAVE BUILT INTO OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME THE PRACTICE OF BLANKING OUT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONTRIBUTIONS THAT AMPLIFY OUR MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ACHIEVEMENTS MAKING IT APPEAR (within our linguistic conceptualizations) as if our MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE THE FULL STORY.  This DROP OUT of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the OVER-RIDING ROLE of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING INFLUENCE in our REALITY may by locked-in by the high switching costs associated with WESTERN CULTURE INFLATED EGO that is bundled in with our DROPPING OF MENTION of the OVER-RIDING CONTRIBUTION of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING in the continually unfolding TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE.

* * * * * * *

LET’S NOT FORGET THE MAJOR SCREW-UP ON THE PART OF WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, BY SUBSTITUTING ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE for the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM (wave-field) THAT IS THE SOURCE OF CONTINUALLY UNFOLDING TRANSFORMATION, and REINVENTING A SOURCING AGENCY THAT WE NOW CLAIM IS NOT COMING FROM THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (wave-field) but LIES WITHIN THE INTERIOR OF THE LOCAL and EXPLICIT MATERIAL CONDENSATIONS (which are, in reality, only APPEARANCES or Schaumkommen).  This is an unreal FRAGMENTATION of REALITY which is being promoted by the current beliefs and understandings of WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS (which align with Parmenides and Aristotle [a world of disconnected independent material objects] rather than aligning with Heraclitus [a world wherein everything is related as in transformative flux]).

* * * * * * *

This has been an abbreviated version of My STORY in regard to (HOW I GOT TO MY WAVE-BASED WORLDVIEW, that puts me in the same CAMP as Modern physics, indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta Adherents)…  starts with my REJECTION of the common WESTERN CULTURE practice of “WRITING ONE’S RÉSUMÉ” and “MAKING IT LOOK GOOD”.

 NOTES SECTION: FOLLOW-UP TOPICS THAT EXPAND ON “HOW I GOT TO MY WAVE-BASED WORLDVIEW”

(1) Mach’s Point here is that we use language to simplify our description of “reality” by reducing the fluid-dynamical (WAVE-BASED) reality to a mechanical view.

“Purely mechanical phenomena do not exist. The production of mutual accelerations in masses is, to all appearances, a purely dynamical phenomenon. But with these dynamical results are always associated thermal, magnetic, electrical, and chemical phenomena, and the former are always modified in proportion as the latter are asserted. On the other hand, thermal, magnetic, electrical, and chemical conditions also can produce motions. Purely mechanical phenomena, accordingly, are abstractions, made, either intentionally or from necessity, for facilitating our comprehension of things”. … “We … should beware lest the intellectual machinery, employed in the representation of the world on the stage of thought, be regarded as the basis of the real world.” – Ernst Mach, The Science of Mechanics, Ch. V.

Mach is pointing to how (Newtonian) SCIENCE uses SIMPLIFYING ANALYTICAL LANGUAGE in constructing its formulations that BREAKS THINGS DOWN into NOTIONAL SEPARATE PIECES akin to an abstract DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE that SIMPLIFIES REALITY so as to SIMPLIFY our task of PROBLEM-SOLVING, but of course, as Mach points out, the solutions we are coming up with based on such ANALYTICAL REDUCTION, while precise and satisfying, are no longer addressing the unabridged physical REALITY.   THIS IS A BIG DEAL because the popularity of the use of this ANALYTICAL REDUCTION now PERVADES WESTERN CULTURE intellectual calculations.  Researchers in the SYSTEMS SCIENCES have attempted to alert us to WESTERN CULTURE has fallen into the practice of using intellectuall over-simplification based on ANALYTICAL REDUCTION which is delivering PIECEMEAL SOLUTIONS that are OBLIVIOUS to the INTERCONNECTIONS and INTERDEPENDECIES that prevail in our sense-experience grounded REALITY.   What we are addressing here is the PROBLEM OF SUBOPTIMIZATION where the artificial FRAGMENTATION by way of “ANALYTICAL REDUCTION” is “TAKEN LITERALLY” AND LEADS TO “SUBOPTIMIZATION” of a PERCEIVED-AS-INDEPENDENT SUBSYSTERM which, IN REALITY, is part of the INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT complex (the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM).

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)

 REGARDLESS OF WARNINGS SUCH AS THE ABOVE, THE WESTERN CULTURE PURSUIT OF SUBOPTIMIZATION CONTINUES TO GALLOP FORWARD WITH THE BIT IN ITS TEETH.

For example, Donald Trump is trying to MAKE THE ELEPHANT DANCE, but the U.S. is NOT AN INDEPENDENT THING-IN-ITSELF, it is a MATRIX OF GLOBAL RELATIONS and thus NOT AN ELEPHANT THAT CAN DANCE.  The U.S. is something far more complex than the TIGHT-KNIT U.S. MILITARY which can be deployed to try to MAKE BELIEVERS out of a global matrix of so-called INDEPENDENT others. The POWER of the U.S. draws from its GLOBAL ALLIANCES insofar as they continue to be SUPPORTIVE of U.S. policy.

The ISSUES that are involved here, point to our (WESTERN CULTURE) general practice of simplifying our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS of the world of our sense-experience.  There is a general issue here (how psychology ties to physics) which many scientists ignore but which Mach includes in his philosophical investigations; as Mach points out;

The science of psychology is auxiliary to physics.  The two mutually support one another, and it is only when they are united that a complete science is formed.  From our standpoint, the antithesis of subject and object, in the ordinary sense, does not exist.” — Ernst Mach. ‘The Analysis of Sensations and the Relation of the Physical to the Psychical.    

An example of this is seen in the difference between the indigenous aboriginal understanding of the world wherein ONE IS INCLUDED WITHIN THE WORLD as in the manner of STRANDS in a WEB where “what we do to the WEB, we do to OURSELVES” as the indigenous aboriginal aphorism states.   CONTRASTINGLY, WESTERN CULTURE assumes a BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC based difference between “HUMANS AS INDEPENDENT BEINGS” and THE WORLD as a SEPARATE PLACE that is OCCUPIED by HUMAN BEINGS, as derives from the Abrahamic religious beliefs of Judaism, Christianity and Islam as captured in such writings as;

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

This BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM “SPLIT” between “HUMAN BEINGS” and the “THE WORLD WE LIVE IN” contrasts with the understanding of MODERN PHYSICS and the understanding of indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents, which is that EVERYTHING is RELATED (“mitakuye oyasin” like STRANDS in a WEB (hence JUSTICE that is RESTORATIVE rather than PURIFICTIONIST).  Chief Seattle’s following words capture this understanding that we are included in a world that is all-including, in agreement with the understanding of the world as an all-including energy-charged PLENUM where material forms are CONDENSATION of the PLENUM.

This we know, the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.”— “Chief Seattle”

As Neuroscientist Iain McGilchrist points out (October 2022), 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 envormously 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.”  

 https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/neuroscientist-argues-the-left-side-of-our-brains-have-taken-over-our-minds-1.6219688#:~:text=*Originally%20published%20on%20October%2022,understand%20them%20as%20a%20whole

What McGilchrist is talking about is our habit of SUBSTITUTING SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC BASED UNDERSTANDING (which reduces everything to a LOCAL, EXPLICIT BEING-BASED CONTEXT)… WHERE A LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY LOGIC BASED UNDERSTANDING IS NEEDED (which preserves the NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT (relational) structures of our SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY).

McGilchrist is NOT THE ONLY ONE TO WRITE BOOKS ON THIS TOPIC, I have also written “A Fluid-Dynamical Worldview” (2008) wherein I describe how the SAILBOATING (relational) PSYCHE is giving way to the POWERBOATING (mechanistic) PSYCHE.

We could sum up WHAT IS GOING ON WITH US WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS by REPEATING MACH’S WARNING  “We … should beware lest the intellectual machinery, employed in the representation of the world on the stage of thought, be regarded as the basis of the real world.” – Ernst Mach, 1893, The Science of Mechanics, Ch. V.

 * * * * TO SUM UP THIS “FOLLOW-UP TOPIC # (1) Mach’s Point is, in effect, … that we are using our language to simplify our description of “reality” by reducing the fluid-dynamical (WAVE-BASED) reality to a mechanical view.   As Mach points out, there are expedient reasons for reducing things to a mechanical basis (i.e. while mechanical constructions ground out in the local and explicit, non-mechanical wave-fields open things up to the nonlocal and implicit).   But what is happening in our WESTERN CULTURE is that our DROPPING OUT the nonlocal and implicit IS THE DROPPING OUT OF THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM and the substituting of ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, meaning that all AUTHORING OF actions and development is NOW LOCAL and EXPLICIT because EMPTY SPACE cannot be the source of any actions or development.

BUT IN OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY, we know that we are included in a dynamic that is greater than us; i.e. “There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;” …. implying that our actions are not fully and solely authored by ourselves, consistent with the Modern physics understanding where we are CONDENSATIONS within the all-including ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM and the equivalent indigenous aboriginal understanding where we are STRANDS in a WEB (i.e. where we are interconnected and interdependent).

So when Mach says; “We … should beware lest the intellectual machinery, employed in the representation of the world on the stage of thought, be regarded as the basis of the real world.”  His meaning is that as he has said; “Purely mechanical phenomena do not exist. The production of mutual accelerations in masses is, to all appearances, a purely dynamical phenomenon. But with these dynamical results are always associated thermal, magnetic, electrical, and chemical phenomena, and the former are always modified in proportion as the latter are asserted. On the other hand, thermal, magnetic, electrical, and chemical conditions also can produce motions. Purely mechanical phenomena, accordingly, are abstractions, made, either intentionally or from necessity, for facilitating our comprehension of things”.

BUT WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS COMMONLY USE A MECHANISTIC FORM OF LANGUAGE BASED ON MATERIAL OBJECTS MOVING AND INTERACTING IN EMPTY SPACE.

For example, we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS use the mechanistic phrase; “The TOWN is growing, developing and producing goods”.  THIS IS NOT THE REAL WORLD (there is no mention of the conjugate shrinking of wilderness and the TOWN seems to be situated in an EMPTY SPACE which is implied by the action of one-sided MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING GROWTH).  Meanwhile, indigenous aboriginals are using a verb-based linguistic conceptualizing scheme and saying “There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”.   THIS “IS” CONSISTENT WITH THE REAL WORLD DYNAMIC wherein EVERYTHING IS IN TRANSFORMATIVE FLUX. 

When we speak in terms of GROWTH, if we believe in such abstraction (instead of the real dynamic of TRANSFORMATION of the LANDSCAPE), we are falling into the trap of using our “intellectual machinery, employed in the representation of the world on the stage of thought, as the basis of the real world.”  GROWTH implies LOCAL, EXPLICIT BEING, NEITHER BEING nor GROWTH of BEINGS OCCUR IN THE REAL WORLD OF OUR SENSE EXPERIENCE of inclusion within the all-including TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM. 

So, the pitfall that Mach is warning about is evidently transpiring in our MODERN WESTERN CULTURE; i.e. we are confusing the intellectual mechanistic representation of the world, for the real world of our sense-experience.  This error is easily compounded; e.g. TRUMP is part of a growing crowd of people who are TAKING SERIOUSLY the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE and the associated support for SUBOPTIMIZATION of each INDEPENDENT NATION, which is a disaster for many in our sense-experience world wherein EVERYTHING IS INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT as the indigenous aboriginals acknowledge in REALITY-GROUNDED linguistic conceptualizing scheme.

THE INDEPENDENCE OF NATIONS AND THEIR ASSOCIATED ORIENTATION TO “SUBOPTIMIZATION” (e.g. by means of TARIFFS) IS A MECHANISTIC VIEW that is the product of our INTELLECTUAL MACHINERY that is MISTAKENLY REGARDED AS THE BASIS OF THE REAL WORLD.

McGilchrist is sounding the alarm that Mach warned us about in 1893! The point being that many of the simplifications we are building into our linguistic conceptualizations of reality are just part of the INTELLECTUAL MACHINERY, EMPLOYED IN THE REPRESENTATION OF THE WORLD ON THE STAGE OF THOUGHT, .. which should NOT be regarded as the basis of the REAL WORLD.  UNFORTUNATELY, WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are MISTAKING these MECHANISTIC SIMPLIFICATIONS for REALITY.

“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 envormously 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.”  

 * * * * * * * * * * *

HELPFUL HINT?  We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS may be surprised when we ‘bump into’ Shakepeare’s 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.”   because we have grown accustomed to speaking of what people do as if all we have to consider is WHAT THEY DO (the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING component) without having to factor in the reality that we are INCLUDED IN SOMETHING GREATER THAN OURSELVES, AN UNFOLDING COMPLEX (TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM) that is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING ORCHESTATOR OF OUR ACTIONS.  MODERN WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE USAGE IS INCREASINGLY “MECHANISTIC” BECAUSE WE ARE DROPPING OUT OF OUR POPULAR USAGE OF LANGUAGE, ALL MENTION OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE THAT IS THE INDUCTIVELY SHAPING OUR ACTIONS, ACTIONS which are therefore NOT SIMPLY “OUR ACTIONS” but which are the product of INDUCTIVE SHAPING INDUCED BY THE UNFOLDING SITUATIONS WE FIND OURSELVES IN, the TIDES that invite us to act now or to wait for the opening of more favorable conditions, all of which WE MODERN DAY WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS tend to DROP OUT OF OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION based ACCOUNTING of what is going on, and instead building one-sided accounts wherein we celebrate ourselves as the LOCAL AUTHORS of what is going on, such as OUR CONSTRUCTION OF A MAR A LAGO without mention of the LANDSCAPE that SERVED UP THIS OPPORTUNITY, which is undergoing TRANSFORMATION in the process, which infludes a loss of WILDERNESS.   This is just a simple example to bring forward the fact that what is going on IN REALITY is more COMPLEX than what we are putting into our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION based ACCOUNTS, underscoring the point that; “We … should beware lest the intellectual machinery, employed in the representation of the world on the stage of thought, be regarded as the basis of the real world.”

SHOULD I LABEL THIS COMMENT “2”  OR IS IT REALLY JUST AN EXTENSION OF “!”?  “We … should beware lest the intellectual machinery, employed in the representation of the world on the stage of thought, be regarded as the basis of the real world.” – Ernst Mach, The Science of Mechanics, Ch. V.

Most of what I write about involves the theme-point in my book “The Fluid-Dynamical Worldview: The fall and rise of the Sailboating Psyche”

Let’s go ahead with the proviso that what I was thinking about was how WE HAVE THE CAPABILITY WITHIN US for our behaviours and actions to be shaped by the unfolding situations we find ourselves included in, which to me recalls the MINER’S CANARY.   We won’t be able to understand why the CANARY is behaving violently so long as we are stuck in our habit of thinking that the behaviour of an organism is directed by its INTELLECT.  That is; “We … should beware lest the intellectual machinery, employed in the representation of the world on the stage of thought, be regarded as the basis of the real world.”

In my sailing days, I was attuning to the unfolding influences I was included in and my ‘flight plan’ was secondary to my ‘staying afloat’.   Life’s like that and even the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley.   As the poet says, “I turned my glance and it became my life” (he met the love of his life).   Sure, we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS like to use a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that makes it sound as if we KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING, but that is all AFTER-THE-FACT RATIONALIZATION since we share inclusion in a TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM wherein everything is INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT.

In this COMMENT “2”, I wanted to share the theme-point in my book “The Fluid-Dynamical Worldview: The fall and rise of the Sailboating Psyche which is that we can orient our actions to (A) our POWERBOATING PSYCHE which has us following our intellectual plans and strategies that direct our actions from within, often in disregard to the external world so that we are simply BULLDOZING OUR WAY through the unfolding transforming continuum we share inclusion in, or to (B) our SAILBOATING PSYCHE which is acutely aware of our situation within a transforming relational continuum that is OUTSIDE-INWARDLY (inductively) shaping our actions and developments ON A FIRST PRIORITY BASIS since we LACK THE POWER of the POWERBOAT MODE to put our DESTINATION oriented advancement in FIRST PRIORITY and simply BLAST OUR WAY THROUGH the ambient dynamics we find ourselves situationally included in.   We know that social collectives typically include a mixture of individuals of BOTH POWERBOATER and SAILBOATER TYPES.  In fact, CONSERVATIVES tend to be POWERBOATERS while LIBERALS tend to be SAILBOATERS and where there is a mix of both in the same waters, conflicts can arise but it is only in the ocean where SAILBOATERS are given RIGHT-OF-WAY over POWERBOATERS.

SAILBOATERS are those whose actions are shaped by the matrix of relational influences they are included in.

POWERBOATERS are INDEPENDENT OPERATORS that are directed by their own internal agency.

We can find the differing ethics of SAILBOATERS and POWERBOATERS in our engagements with members of the social collective.

There is a SHIFT IN THE BEHAVIOR OF WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL COLLECTIVES AWAY FROM SAILBOATER ETHICS TOWARDS POWERBOATER ETHICS.

IN McGilchrist’s terms; “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 we are all talking about is the DROP OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate leaving the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate STANDING ALONE.

In other words, what is happening to us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS is what we were warned of by Mach; “We … should beware lest the intellectual machinery, employed in the representation of the world on the stage of thought, be regarded as the basis of the real world.” – Ernst Mach, The Science of Mechanics, Ch. V.

THE WORLD IS MORE COMPLEX “than the reductive, mechanistic way of thinking that has taken us over,”

As Schroedinger and Bohm have pointed out, our problem lies in our LANGUAGE.  Unlike Modern physics, indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents, ALL OF WHOM have languages that support FLOW-BASED REALITY, we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have chosen to give the foundational role in language to BEING, and BEING, while the CORNERSTONE of MECHANICAL CONCEPTUALIZATIONS, is INCAPABLE of expressing FLOW-BASED REALITIES.

“BEING” can support MATERIAL ENTITIES that GROW”, “DEVELOP” and “PRODUCE” things, as suggested by “THE TOWN IS GROWING” but we are living in a world wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX (mitakuye oyasin), in which case the language needed is a FLOW-BASED LANGUAGE which supports propositions such as THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX and THERE IS NO DEPENDENCY on “BEING”.  This FLOW-based (relational) capability is chararacteristic of indigenous aboriginal languages but is LACKING in WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGES where the focus is on material possessions which require BEING affirming NAMES such as JOHN DUNBAR rather than Dances with Wolves which has the strand-in-the-web implication.

Trying to change our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE is like trying to change the wheels on our car while we are speeding down the freeway in it.  We are ADDICTED to the ANALYTIC REDUCTIONIST PARADIGM which BUILDS from our WESTERN CULTURE practice of imposing BEING-based NAMING which is the source of FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM (naming-instantiated fragmentation as in reductionism has us focus on the features of the beautiful woman which is only the thing-in-itself aspect, the LOCAL, EXPLICIT ENTITY WITH HER GRACEFUL and AESTHETIC CURVES, who is popularly viewed NAKED in the full light of day. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL THING SHE IS!

BUT OUR ANALYSIS OF HER LOCAL, EXPLICIT BEING as if she were STANDING ON HER OWN WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE inviting our VOYEUR VIEWING and perhaps TOUCHING, is an INTELLECTUAL OBJECT-ORIENTED form of inquiry that distracts us from that other APPRECIATIVE MODE OF INQUIRY which is NOT ANALYTICAL and MECHANISTIC as comes with the BEING based FOCUS, but INTEGRAL and HOLISTIC, where we open up our AWARENESS increasing it from LEVEL 3 to LEVEL 1 (on Erich Jantsch’s AWARENESS SCALE), thereby tapping into the natural primacy of AWARENESS OF INCLUSION in NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) TRANSFORMATION.

SERIOUS PROBLEMS PERVADING WESTERN CULTURE, ARISING FROM BELIEF IN THE SELF-DECLARED “INDEPENDENCE” of IMAGINARY LINE BOUNDED REGIONS

WESTERN CULTURE, unlike indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents, have developed the habit of imposing the analytical reductionist paradigm on our linguistic conceptualizations of reality.   As Mach has pointed out, our world is fluid and transforming and as is affirmable from our sense-experience, there is NO SUCH THING AS “EMPTY SPACE”.  But WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have been building EMPTY SPACE into our linguistic conceptualizing schemes.

(AI) Does empty space follow from the analytic reductionist paradigm?

Modern physics as well as indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents, support FLOW-BASED LANGUAGE whose conceptualizations acknowledge that everything is INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT as symbolized by STRANDS IN A WEB and/or by CONDENSATIONS of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.

This we know, the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.”— “Chief Seattle”

Bohm’s Rheomode language, like the verb-based languages of indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents, support the understanding of the interconnection and interdependence of all things, such as condensations of the energy-charged PLENUM.   Indigenous aboriginal RESTORATIVE JUSTICE follows from this understanding that “ALL THINGS ARE INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT” in which case the response where there is emergent dysfunction is to gather together in a Healing Circle to store resonance in the relational social matrix.

LAST WORD (FOR NOW)

The READER may be pondering the following; If there is an understanding of the ERRORS that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are infusing into our linguistic conceptualizations, why have we not corrected THOSE ERRORS?   The ANSWER IS that the MOST IMPORTANT ERROR is that of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR as pointed out by Nietzsche, which is THE PARTICULAR ERROR that FALSELY GRANTS LOCAL AUTHORING POWERS TO US WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS WHO SEE OURSELVES AS LOCAL, EXPLICIT, INDEPENDENT BEINGS WITH OUR OWN POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS.   Indigenous aboriginals DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM because their lingusitic conceptualizing scheme is GROUNDED in the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT …. and is NOT GROUNDED in the LOCAL and EXPLICIT as is the case in WESTERN CULTURE.  So, in order for WESTERN CULTURE TO MAKE THE NEEDED CHANGES, there must be a REMOVAL of the WESTERN CULTURE PRACTICE of giving a FOUNDATIONAL ROLE to the CONCEPT of LOCAL AUTHORING of ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS which is implied to occur “WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE”.  This DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR inserts a FIRST ERROR of NAMING that imputes LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL BEING, together with a SECOND ERROR of GRAMMAR that IMPUTES AUTHORING POWER to the LOCAL EXPLICIT MATERIAL BEING.

In MODERN PHYSICS as also in inigenous aboriginal culture, REALITY UNFOLDS from the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT; for example, from the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE where the LOCAL and EXPLICIT features are understood as SCHAUMKOMMEN (APPEARANCE).  NOTICE THAT WESTERN CULTURE IS SUPPORTING THE OPPOSITE UNDERSTANDING wherein the LOCAL and EXPLICIT is the PRIMARY REALITY while the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT is being DISCARDED and replaced by a non-contributing ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE in which case there is a notional LOCAL and EXPLICIT origin all events, both those of a POSITIVE and NEGATIVE NATURE.

In Modern physics as in indigenous aboriginal culture ALL REAL EVENTS ARE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT IN ORIGIN while LOCAL and EXPLICIT events can be DISMISSED as Schaumkommen (APPEARANCE).

Meanwhile, When Agatha Christie and CSI episodes get their hands on CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, they are NOT INTERESTED in following events as far back as needed in the case of Robin Hood and Jean Valjean, to the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT AMBIANCE that is the REAL SOURCE of the LOCAL and EXPLICIT because the figerprints and DNA and everything that belongs to CRIME-SCENE INVESTIGATION is NOT GOING TO SUPPLY INFORMATION on the ACTUAL NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT ORIGIN of LOCAL and EXPLICIT EVENTS which is grounded in the DYNAMICS of the SOCIAL COLLECTIVE (THE WEB). and merely VENTS through a particular STRAND IN THE WEB.

WESTERN CULTURE COMMUNITIES are eager to CONVICT a Jeffrey Epstein or a Ghislaine Maxwell on the basis of the INDEPENDENCE of the individual and its action which supports the notion of INNOCENT UNLESS PROVEN GUILTY (a benefit of the abstrict designation of INDEPENDENCE), CONTRASTING with the indigenous aboriginal understanding, supported by Modern physics, of STRAND-IN-THE-WEB and/or CONDENSATION IN THE PLENUM based INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE, as leads naturally to RESTORATIVE JUSTICE due to the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT origin of the emergent developments.

WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS cannot break free of the WESTERN archaic and unrealistic PURIFICATIONIST SYSTEM OF JUSTICE because of its “LOCKED IN BY HIGH SWITCHING COST” STATUS, in that the LOCAL AUTHORING ASSUMPTION is used as the basis of REWARDS and RECOGNITION as well as PUNISHMENTS and DENIGRATION, and those most highly REWARDED and RECOGNIZED are IN CONTROL OF THE SYSTEM and its VETTING of proposals for CHANGES TO THE SYSTEM. 

While RESTORATIVE JUSTICE (which is based on NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT AUTHORSHIP) MAKES SENSE and is affirmed by Modern science, PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE which REWARDS EXPLICIT GOOD WORKS and PUNISHES EXPLICIT BAD WORKS is SECURED IN PLACE by its REWARDS SYSTEM which is based on the (MISTAKEN, DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR based) assumption of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and developments.  Indigenous aboriginal cultures, for example, ARE CORRECT IN THAT THEY DO NOT ATTRIBUTE CREDIT TO INDIVIDUAL AUTHORS OF ACTIONS AND EVENTS, EITHER HELPFUL OR HURTFUL.  The origin of all actions and events is understood, in indigenous cultures, to be NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (RELATIONAL) IN ORIGIN which means there will be NO ELON MUSK or JACK-THE-RIPPER in indigenous cultures because AUTHORING is understood to be NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (a venting from the social-relational dynamic) rather than LOCAL and EXPLICIT (deriving from a LOCAL AUTHOR).

FOOTNOTE: 

Acknowledging the difference between WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE and indigenous aboriginal RESTORATIVE JUSTICE is important to this essay.  The following is an AI response to my proposition describing the difference between indigenous aboriginal JUSTICE and WESTERN CULTURE JUSTICE which is AFFIRMED by the AI response.

My proposition submitted to Google AI:   “indigenous aboriginals seem to believe that the authoring of violence is understood as nonlocal and implicit in origin so that justice must be restorative unlike western culture where the authoring of violence is understood to be local”

AI Overview

This comparison highlights a fundamental difference in worldview between many Indigenous legal traditions and mainstream Western legal systems regarding human behavior and responsibility.

Western Perspective: Localized and Individual

• • Isolated Events: Western law tends to view an act of violence as a discrete, isolated choice made by a single individual at a specific moment in time.
  • Individual Blame: The cause of the violence is located entirely within the offender’s personal agency and moral failure.
  • Retributive Justice: Because the problem is local to the offender, the solution is also local to them—punishment, isolation (prison), or debt repayment to society.

Indigenous Perspective: Relational and Systemic

• • Symptom of Imbalance: Many Indigenous legal traditions view violence not as an isolated evil, but as a symptom of a deeper fracture in the community’s relational web.
  • Shared or Systemic Origin: The root cause is seen as nonlocal, stretching out to include community stress, historical trauma, broken relationships, or spiritual disconnection.
  • Restorative Justice: Because the harm ripples through the entire community, the response must also involve the community to restore balance and repair the social fabric.

While this computer generated AI explanation of the difference between WESTERN CULTURE perspective and INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL perspective is VERY MUCH ON TARGET as far as INTELLECTUAL PERSPECTIVES are concerned, it brings into question WHAT IS MISSING, which Ernst Mach’s following comment, cited earlier and repeated here for viewing convenience, is pointing to;

(1) Mach’s Point here is that we use language to simplify our description of “reality” by reducing the fluid-dynamical (WAVE-BASED) reality to a mechanical view.

“Purely mechanical phenomena do not exist. The production of mutual accelerations in masses is, to all appearances, a purely dynamical phenomenon. But with these dynamical results are always associated thermal, magnetic, electrical, and chemical phenomena, and the former are always modified in proportion as the latter are asserted. On the other hand, thermal, magnetic, electrical, and chemical conditions also can produce motions. Purely mechanical phenomena, accordingly, are abstractions, made, either intentionally or from necessity, for facilitating our comprehension of things”. … “We … should beware lest the intellectual machinery, employed in the representation of the world on the stage of thought, be regarded as the basis of the real world.” – Ernst Mach, The Science of Mechanics, Ch. V.

While the AI is successful in dealing with “the intellectual machinery, employed in the representation of the world on the stage of thought”, there is MORE TO REALITY than that which we present by way of intellectual machinery and it is more complex than the mechanics of material objects, being comprised of thermal, magnetic, electrical and chemical content that, while BEYOND WHAT WE ARE CAPTURING WITH OUR INTELLECTUAL MACHINERY and our CROW’S EYE ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVE, we are picking up with our sensory capabilities.  While we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS live within a CULTURE wherein we are taught to IGNORE the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE and to “GO ALONG WITH” the MAJOR ERROR where WE SPEAK AS IF MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING is “ALL THERE IS” (since this is the part we capture in our WESTERN CULTURE linguistic conceptualizing scheme).

“READ MY LIPS” is ONLY A GOOD CALL if we are using a LANGUAGE that is “UP TO THE JOB” of CAPTURING WHAT IS GOING ON WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM (the world of our SENSE-EXPERIENCE OF INCLUSION THEREIN), … WITHOUT REDUCING IT to terms of “PURELY MECHANICAL PHENOMENA WHICH, AS MACH POINTS OUT, “DO NOT EXIST”.

Our sensory experience based reality, MEANWHILE, … is tapping into thermal, magnetic, electrical and chemical influences WHICH REALLY DO EXIST and which WE REALLY DO FEEL (solar irradiance heats us up, static electricity makes our hair stand up, and our smell can be picked up by bloodhounds if not by friends, family and pets). So, as Mach is pointing out, what we capture with our intellectual machinery and put together to form a shareable representation of the world on the stage of thought IS NOT REAL because our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS employ MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTIONS based on notional MATERIAL OBJECTS and their interactions, as if within an absolute empty and infinite SPACE.  This is, as Mach is pointing out, a HIGHLY SIMPLIFIED CONCEPTUALIZATION THAT lacks the complexity of REALITY (“…but with these dynamical results are always associated thermal, magnetic, electrical, and chemical phenomena; i.e. PURELY MECHANICAL PHENOMENA DO NOT EXIST!”

Things are more complex than the mechanical actions of material objects in empty space, which we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS like to speak in terms of.   The linguistic conceptualizations of indigenous aboriginal culture such as STRANDS IN THE WEB capture the understanding that SPACE IS NOT EMPTY (it is an energy-charged PLENUM) within which material forms are CONDENSATIONS IN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.  This is BEYOND CAPTURE in MECHANICAL TERMS.   Bohm conveys the error of WESTERN CULTURE MECHANISTIC THINKING in his example of “John Wilkes Booth killing of Abraham Lincoln” where there is far more to it than the mechanical actions of pulling a trigger and launching a bullet.  There is the invention of gun-powder which is included with interconnecting and interdependent matrix of unfolding events.  In REALITY, there is an all-including transforming energy-charged PLENUM in which all of us are included as CONDENSATIONS in the TRANSFORMING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM which underscores Mach’s statement that “PURELY MECHANICAL PHENOMENA DO NOT EXIST” (because we live in a world of flux as pointed out by Heraclitus and as re-affirmed by Modern physics.

Another way to state Mach’s point is that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have concocted a HIGHLY SIMPLIFIED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME based on a simple BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM which REDUCES OUR CONCEPTUALIZATIONS to terms of MATERIAL OBJECTS MOVING ABOUT AND INTERACTING WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITES SPACE.   We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE NOW USING THIS SIMPLIFIED, MECHANISTIC “PSEUDO-REALITY” AS OUR “OPERATIVE REALITY” which means there can be “HELL TO PAY” due to the HUGE GAP between the SIMPLIFIED “MECHANISTIC” LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION BASED PSEUDO-REALITY WE ARE NOW USING AS OUR “OPERATIVE REALITY” in place of our MORE COMPLEX “ACTUAL” [SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED] thermal, magnetic, electrical, and chemical phenomena based REALITY wherein MATERIAL OBJECTS ARE ONLY “APPEARANCE”.

This latter SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED REALITY is far more complex (with its non-being based fluid interconnection and interdependence) than our MECHANISTIC PSEUDO-REALITY.  That’s the point that the Systems Sciences statement by Martine Dodds Taaljard et al is affirming in its rejection of the analytic-reductionist scientific paradigm and its affirmation of global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence.
