How Many More Years to the WAKE-UP?

How Many More Years to the WAKE-UP? 

WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS HAVE TRAPPED OURSELVES IN A MISTAKEN BELIEF IN A BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC BASED WORLD OF BEING and LOCAL AUTHORING.  WHEN DO WE WAKE-UP TO THE REALITY THAT WE LIVE IN A QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC BASED WORLD OF TRANSFORMATION?

We WESTERN CUTURE ADHERENTS invented a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME wherein we cast ourselves as LOCAL AUTHORS of actions and development that move about and interact in an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, .. and MODERN PHYSICS has proven WHAT A STUPID MISTAKE THAT IS AND CONTINUES TO BE, and indigenous aboriginals such as Chief Seattle mocked us for it, but WE WESTERN CULTURE ADERENTS ARE PROUD OF OUR STUPIDITY because THE FALSE NOTION OF LOCAL AUTHORING SWELLS THE EGO.   LOCAL AUTHORING also sets up our system of REWARDING and PROLIFERATING THE LOCAL AUTHORING OF GOOD and PUNISHING and ELIMINATING THE LOCAL AUTHORING OF BAD, giving us a PURIFICATIONIST SOCIAL ETHIC.

MODERN PHYSICS has informed us HOW SILLY THIS LOCAL AUTHORING NOTION IS, but SYSTEMS SCIENCES have pointed out the amazing STRENGTH of its “LOCK-IN BY HIGH SWITCHING COSTS”.  Having a long-established program of giving REWARDS and SOCIAL STATUS on the basis of LOCAL AUTHORING OF ‘GOOD WORKS’, we have ‘stacked the deck’ of WESTERN CULTURE LEADERSHIP with folks like ELON MUSK and DONALD TRUMP.  WHATEVER HAPPENED TO “OUR WESTERN CULTURE” WISE ELDERS?  AND HOW COME WISE PEOPLE tend NOT TO BE RICH?  WESTERN CULTURE IS BASED ON SCREWED UP PRINCIPLES BUT, as stated, we are LOCKED IN BY HIGH SWITCHING COSTS, not the least of which is our having given LEADERSHIP POWERS to HIGH ACHIEVING MATERIALISTS even if they ACHIEVE by SCREWING OTHERS out of their just deserts. Our LEADERS are choosing NEW REPLACEMENT LEADERS made in their same likeness; i.e. on the basis of MATERIAL ACHIEVEMENTS (with not too many questions on the details of how achieved).

ARE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS INTERESTED IN CROSS-COMPARING THE WORKINGS OF INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURES AND TAOISM/BUDDHISM AND ADVAITA VEDANTA WHICH ARE SO HIGHLY ENDORSED BY MODERN PHYSICS  (e.g. by DAVID BOHM, ERWIN SCHROEDINGER) and like-minded others?)

MY EXPERIENCE has been NO, most WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS “TAKE IT FOR GRANTED” that our WESTERN CULTURE is the way to go, … or it could be that WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are so caught up in quarrelling about the CONSERVATIVE versus LIBERAL APPROACHES to our CULTURE that we haven’t had time to consider a THIRD OPTION such as the MODERN PHYSICS RECOMMENDED UNDERSTANDINGS of TAOISM/BUDDHISM and ADVAITA VEDANTA and also INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURE, all of which are using the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM where the understanding is that EVERYTHING IS INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT as has been AFFIRMED BY MODERN PHYSICS.

THESE CULTURES employ LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES that are ALL BASICALLY THE SAME, being based on the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM wherein everything is understood to be interconnected and interdependent as with STRANDS IN A WEB, or in MODERN PHYSICS TERMS, AS WITH CONDENSATIONS OF THE INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.   So, these BOTH/AND (BOTH/AND LOGIC) MODERN PHYSICS CONSISTENT CULTURE OPTIONS are largely consistent among themselves and MODERN PHYSICS and DIFFER RADICALLY from our EITHER/OR (EITHER/OR LOGIC) WESTERN CULTURE CONSISTENT OPTIONS.  Here, following, are the BIG DIFFERENCES, and please note that while the BOTH/AND CULTURE OPTION as supported by our REAL-LIFE SENSE EXPERIENCE is validated through MODERN PHYSICS which reaffirms the naturally evolved BOTH/AND LOGIC of indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents.  WESTERN CULTURE which is now globally dominant embraces EITHER/OR LOGIC

THE BIG DIFFERENCES BETWEEN “BOTH-AND CULTURE” SOCIAL DYNAMICS AND “EITHER-OR CULTURE” SOCIAL DYNAMICS

The BOTH/AND CULTURES have the understanding that we live in an ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM where material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the PLENUM giving rise to the BOTH/AND RELATION, the STRAND in the WEB relation, the expression Mitakuye Oyasin (everything is related).  This understanding gives rise to RESTORATIVE JUSTICE where, because the understanding is that we are all strands in the one web, as conveyed in the Chief Seattle speech, this condition of INERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE gives us understanding of an OUTBURST of VIOLENCE as having a NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT SOURCE in which case the REMEDIAL RESPONSE is the HEALING CIRCLE where the community comes together to RE-CULTIVATE RESONANCE in the relational matrix of community and THERE IS NO SCAPE-GOATING as comes with the EITHER/OR LOGIC of the WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE which aims to IDENTIFY a LOCAL AUTHORING SOURCE of VIOLENCE and to ELIMINATE or INCARCERATE that LOCAL AUTHORING SOURCE.    This WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST SYSTEM uses BINARY LOGIC to examine individuals and determine whether they are EITHER GUILTY or NOT GUILTY of LOCAL AUTHORING of a VIOLENT ACTION.  There is no support for this TRADITIONAL, SIMPLE WESTERN CULTURE system in the REAL WORLD of our SENSE-EXPERIENCE since it is based on the abstractions of INDEPENDENT BEINGS that notionally move about and interact within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.  In the MODERN PHYSICS based BOTH/AND understanding, material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the all-including energy-charged PLENUM whereby all things are INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT by virtue of being CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.

BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM is operative in MODERN PHYSICS based JUSTICE also in indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta JUSTICE.

BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM is operative in NEWTONIAN PHYSICS based JUSTICE and in the Judaic, Christian and Islamic religion influenced cultures which have had dominant influence in WESTERN CULTURE as it persists today.

THINGS ARE DIFFERENT where we are in a state of AWARENESS of our INCLUSION in SOMETHING GREATER THAN OURSELVES (TRANSFORMATION) 

–––  QUANTUM (BOTH/AND) LOGIC INCLUSION OF MAN-IN-EARTH (CONDENSATION OF WAVE-FIELD IN WAVE-FIELD): 

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

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

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

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

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

How Many More Years to the WAKE-UP?

My thought is that the current “CRATERING” of the U.S. system of government and the intense POLARIZATION of CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS, both of whom are HUNG UP ON BELIEF IN LOCAL AUTHORING (the DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR) and who are LOCKED IN TO THIS DYSFUNCTIONAL BELIEF by HIGH SWITCHING COSTS; i.e. by having developed a comprehensive system of REWARDS and PUNISHMENTS based on the FALSE NOTION OF LOCAL AUTHORING (an abstraction deriving from the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR as Nietzsche points out).  [It doesn’t hurt to mention this twice because it is hard for us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS to RECONCILE with the REALITY that belief in “LOCAL AUTHORING” is a MISTAKE].

THE INTENSE POLARIZED DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS DERIVES FROM ADDICTION TO BINARY LOGIC.   BINARY LOGIC ONLY SUPPORTS LOCAL AUTHORING and BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM IS TOO SIMPLE TO SUPPORT “QUANTUM” BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM, the latter being the logic needed to understand the ANDROGYNOUS structure of the all-including energy-charged PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD.  BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM SUPPORTS ANDROGYNOUS LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS SUCH AS “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”, which is OUT OF REACH for BINARY LOGIC, which is only good for constructions such as “THE TOWN IS GROWING or DEVELOPING or PRODUCING goods” where “THE TOWN” is cast as a separate and independent object, as if ‘floating in empty, infinite space’.

BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM (‘excluded medium’ means empty space instead of an energy-charged plenum) is LIMITED to LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS based on MATERIAL FORMS in EMPTY SPACE where such logic can deal with WHAT MATERIAL THINGS DO AS IF IN A VACUUM, such as “THE TOWN IS GROWING” which involves ONE-SIDED (MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ONLY) PROPOSITIONS that can be judged EITHER TRUE or FALSE.

“QUANTUM” BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM (‘including medium’ means that the material forms in the medium are ‘made out of’ the medium they are included in, as with “whorlings-in-flowing” where the “whorlings” are “appearance” or as Schroedinger says, ‘Schaumkommen’ as in holograms).  In the “QUANTUM” BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, because the forms ARE the medium they included in, what we would call MOTION in the BINARY LOGIC based conceptualization, can only be OVERALL TRANSFORMATION.   This language (ENGLISH) being a THING-dependent language will only support CONCEPTUALIZATIONS that are in terms of the movements and changes of THINGS which requires only simple BINARY LOGIC to distinguis between and amongst THINGS AND EMPTY SPACE.  FLOW-based languages are based on the “BOTH/AND” LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM where, for example, while the observed form, like the WHORLING,”APPEARS” to be separate from the FLOWING, but that is just APPEARANCE (Schaumkommen) and the reality is that the WHORLING is “BOTH” itself “AND” the FLOWING it is included in.

This is a somewhat AWKWARD way of explaining that what is going on is TRANSFORMATION which has no dependence on FIXED IDENTITY THINGS, so we can’t expect to use a dipnet and capture the WHORLING IN THE FLOWING.  BUT IS OUR WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE GOING TO STOP US FROM MAKING THE MISTAKE OF OBJECTIFYING the WHORLING and SAYING ‘THE WHORL IS GROWING LARGER’?  EVIDENTLY NOT!

The same MISTAKE is being made with HUMANINGS to split them out as notional LOCAL THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES, and it is the MISTAKE made with the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR as Nietzsche has pointed out which has us recasting phenomena based on the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM such as the WHORLING in the FLOWING, in the simpler EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM (the notional substituting of an absolute empty and infinite space backdrop) where IT NOW APPEARS AS IF THE WHORL IS ALL THERE IS, apart from empty space, SO THAT THE WHORL MUST IN THAT CASE BE THE AUTHOR OF ITS OWN WHORLING.  That is the reduction from less simple QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC to simple BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC comes about.

The LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that supports “QUANTUM” BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM supports conceptualizations wherein there are many CONDENSATIONS with a common base; i.e. the energy-charged PLENUM.  Condensations within the ALL-INCLUDING PLENUM are INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT hence the metaphor of STRANDS IN THE WEB wherein ‘everything is related’ (mitakuye oyasin).

So, How Many More Years to the WAKE-UP?

The MADNESS of BINARY LOGIC THINKING PALESTINIANS AND ISRAELIS would have us recall the deep foundational entrenchment of BINARY LOGIC in the Judaic, Christian and Islamic religious tranditions that have persisted in the associated languages.   It is not easy to see how the equivalent of ‘mitakuye oyasin’ (we are all related) will find its way into the social collectives of Jews, Christians and Muslims but that being said, many are already half-believers in the findings of MODERN PHYSICS and the holy scriptures always leave some wiggle-room, so who knows what’s possible, and people must be getting fed up with the senseless massacres which are going on in the binary logic based polarization fuelling Israeli Palestinian and Ukrainian-Russian conflicts.

“QUANTUM” BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM SEES EVERYONE AS RELATED BY WAY OF ALL BEING CONDENSATIONS OF AND IN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM AKA INCLUDING MEDIUM but this BOTH/AND LOGIC GOES NOWHERE as soon as WESTERN CULTURE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING IS INJECTED INTO THE CONVERSATION.

So As has been stated in the above discussion, “TRANSFORMATION” has no dependence on FIXED IDENTITY THINGS, so we can’t expect to use a dipnet and capture the WHORLING IN THE FLOWING.  BUT IS OUR WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE GOING TO STOP US FROM MAKING THE MISTAKE OF OBJECTIFYING the WHORLING and SAYING ‘THE WHORL IS GROWING LARGER’ AS IF IT HAS ITS OWN AUTHORING POWER?  EVIDENTLY NOT!  And in making this mistake (the “double error of naming and grammar”), we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are using LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING to substitute the LOCAL and EXPLICIT material agent for the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT  immaterial INFLUENCE (wave-field), the BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM for the “QUANTUM” BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, and the PLENUM-supported INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE for EMPTY SPACE based INDEPENDENCE….. NO WONDER WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE SUFFERING FROM FRAGMENTATION!

Let’s face it, the WAKE-UP is going to be a long time in coming IF it comes.

As Max Planck suggested, a new foundational understanding does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is open to the reality that the new understanding makes more sense.  Quantum BOTH/AND LOGIC of the including medium appears to be one of those understandings and the wait may be shortened judging by the rate at which the BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the excluded medium supporters are killing each other off.

FOOTNOTE:

WHY THE WESTERN CULTURE CONSERVATIVE – LIBERAL SPLIT?

The CONSERVATIVE – LIBERAL SPLIT arises in WESTERN CULTURE due to the LIMITING OF AWARENESS to VOYEUR PERSPECTIVE  where the CONSERVATIVE limits their view to “AWARENESS LEVEL 3” wherein ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’ while the LIBERAL opens up to “AWARENESS LEVEL 2” wherein “THERE IS CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS THAT IS ACCOMMODATING THE GROWING OF THE TOWN”.  The AGGRESSIVE DEVELOPERS such as TRUMP and MUSK open up and orient their AWARENESS fully and solely to the ACHIEVEMENT of the NEW DEVELOPMENT.  The LIBERAL, while supportive of DEVELOPMENT, opens his AWARENESS and sensitivity NOT ONLY TO THE NEW DEVELOPMENT but to how the community in place is impacted by the NEW DEVELOPMENTS and this is thus a HIGHER, LEVEL 2 AWARENESS. BOTH OF THESE LEVEL 3 and LEVEL 2 LEVELS of AWARENESS ARE VOYEUR VIEWS which are AS FAR AS BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC WILL TAKE US, but THERE IS A STILL HIGHER “LEVEL 1” AWARENESS available where we understand ourselves to be INCLUDED in what we are looking out at, which is the “QUANTUM” BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM “LEVEL 1” AWARENESS where we understand ourselves to be INCLUDED in what we are looking out at, which is the standard “inclusion in the web-of-life” AWARENESS of indigenous aboriginals. 

The IMPORTANT POINT HERE is that LEVEL 1 AWARENESS requires a LESS SIMPLE LOGIC than BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC; i.e. “QUANTUM” BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which is BEYOND THE REACH of BOTH CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS LEVEL 3 and BEYOND THE REACH OF LIBERAL AWARENESS LEVEL 2 (both of which are BINARY LOGIC based).   LEVEL 1 AWARENESS, which is “QUANTUM” BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM based, supports AWARENESS that RESOLVES the POLARIZING DIFFERENCE between CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS LEVEL 3 and LIBERAL WARENESS LEVEL 2, and does so by OPENING THE WAY TO THE “AWARENESS OF INCLUSION IN THE ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka WAVE-FIELD”.

While LEVEL 3 AWARENESS (conservative) and LEVEL 2 AWARENESS (liberal) are VOYEUR VIEW BASED AWARENESS LEVELS, LEVEL 1 AWARENESS IS OF INCLUSION

The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.” …Erwin Schroedinger

“What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space. Particles are just schaumkommen (appearances)” —Erwin Schroedinger

In this LEVEL 1 mode of AWARENESS understood by indigenous aboriginals and by MODERN PHYSICS, all ‘things’ are condensations of and within the energy-charged plenum aka the transforming relational continuum aka wave-field.

HERE there is NO MOVEMENT OF MATERIAL THINGS THROUGH SPACE, there is only RELATIONAL TRANSFORMATION in which we share INCLUSION.
