WHAT TO EXPECT AS OUR ‘SICK’ WESTERN CULTURE CONTINUES TO COLLAPSE
0
First of all, LETS BE HONEST AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS’ UNDERSTANDING IS MORE CORRECT (AESTHETIC, NATURAL) THAN OUR WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENT UNDERSTANDING. The indigenous aboriginal understanding is THAT WE ARE STRANDS IN THE WEB OF LIFE, meaning that WE ARE INCUDED IN A WORLD THAT IS GREATER THAN US which means that our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME which uses a SUBJECT-OBJECT SPLIT is IN ERROR. Schroedinger REMINDS US THAT WE ARE INCLUDED IN THE WORLD, IT IS NOT SOME SEPARATE THING ‘OUT THERE”;
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
BUT SOMETHING IS LIMITING OUR WESTERN CULTURE THOUGHT AND UNDERSTANDING AND IT IS OUR LANGUAGE.
WE WESTERM CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE PACKING LIES INTO OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS THAT WE ARE CLAIMING TO BE ‘REALITY’! Anthropologists like Jules Henry and Ernest Becker and Psychiatrists like Ronald Laing are using STRONG WORDS to SHAKE US WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS BY OUR SHOULDERS to get us to WAKE UP TO OUR HUMONGOUS SCREW-UP that we passing on from generation to generation through our LANGUAGE and EDUCTION.
“It is Henry’s contention that in practice education has never been an instrument to free the mind and the spirit of man, but to bind them. We think we want creative children, but what do we want them to create? — ‘If all through school the young were provoked to question the Ten Commandments, the sanctity of revealed religion, the foundations of patriotism, the profit motive, the two party system, monogamy, the laws of incest, and so on … — there would be such creativity that society would not know where to turn. … Children do not give up their innate imagination, curiousity, dreaminess easily. You have to love them to get them to do that. Love is the path through permissiveness to discipline; and through discipline, only too often, to betrayal of self.” R. D. Laing
OUR WESTERN CULTURE WORLD VIEW infused in us by our educators (… WINK-WINK, NUDGE-NUDGE, SAY NO MORE…) IS GROUNDED IN THE NOTION THAT WE ARE INDEPENDENT BEINGS LIVING IN INDEPENDENT NATIONS. Every night the EVENING NEWS IS FEEDING US WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS DISTORTED VIEWS BASED ON LIES in a manner that brings to mind the RATCHETED FORCE-FEEDING of GEESE to PREPARE THEM FOR “PUBLIC SERVICE” AND WE GIVE OUR CHILDREN PRECIOUS LITTLE CHOICE BUT TO GO ALONG WITH the PACKAGE of BELIEFS’ MENTIONED by Laing, that support the “INDEPENDENT NATION” myth.
While teachings and understanding may seem LESS CONFUSED on the NATURE front than the CULTURE front, there is confusion in the mapping of the one into the other.
Those exploring the natural HARMONIES OF THE WORLD such as Johannes Kepler, author of ‘HARMONIES OF THE WORLD’, presumed that there was some INBUILT UNDERSTANDING of INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE in the world (which MODERN PHYSICS has shown us is because all material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the all-including ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM otherwise known as the WAVE-FIELD, which MATCHES the STRAND-IN-THE-WEB understanding of indigenous aboriginal cultures). But such a system wherein everything is interconnected and interdependent conflicted with WESTERN CULTURE RELIGIOUS understandings which supported the INDEPENDENT EXISTENCE OF MAN within a DIVINE FRAMEWORK governed by GOD’S LAWS which have a BINARY LOGIC basis, informing us FROM ABOVE on how our behaviours, as INDEPENDENT BEINGS can be classified (JUDGED) as EITHER GOOD OR BAD.
This imputing of INDEPENDENT BEING to those material forms which in indigneous aboriginal cultures were seen as STRANDS IN THE WEB, removed the BEHAVIOUR-GUIDING INFLUENCE of RELATIONAL HARMONY that Kepler had discovered and documented in his classic work HARMONIES OF THE WORLD. Isaac Newton’s SIMPLIFYING MODEL DROPPED OUT THE ASSUMPTION OF INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT MOVEMENTS of the PLANETS implicit in the overall HARMONIES of the WORLD by INTRODUCING a NOTIONAL ABSTRACT MATHEMATICAL REFERENCE FRAME that supported a mathematical DESCRIPTION of the MOVEMENT OF EACH PLANET SEEN AS AN INDEPENDENT ENTITY, DROPPING OUT ALL DEPENDENCY on the notional overall HARMONIES of the whole system.
As Newton stated, he was bothered by how there is something MISSING in his simple scientific model and it is ‘harmony’ in the sense of a pervasive over-all coordination as in the simultaneous mutual influence implicit in the gravity Field (he could not find mathematics that could capture this in a systems comprised of three or more bodies moving under their own simultaneous mutual influence). In Newton’s view the difference between the actual world dynamic and the world dynamic as simulated through the laws of locally applied force, is ‘harmony’. In his words;
”… and the planets and comets will constantly pursue their revolutions in orbits given in kind and position, according to the laws above explained ; but though these bodies may, indeed, persevere in their orbits by the mere laws of gravity, yet they could by no means have at first derived the regular position of the orbits themselves from those laws. . . . This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being. And if the fixed stars are the centres of other like systems, these, being formed by the like wise counsel, must be all subject to the dominion of One.” — Newton, Scholium in the ‘Principia’
The ‘dominion of One’ and the harmony as associates with simultaneous mutual influence of all with all, is not only missing in Newton’s laws, as he openly says both in his Author’s prologue and in his summarizing Scholium, it is missing in our ‘scientized’ global social dynamic wherein we have used the scientific laws of locally applied force and direction to operationalize 195 ‘declared as INDEPENDENT’ sovereign states as local mechanical systems, without having addressed the issue of multi-body ‘simultaneous mutual influence’, which is built in to nature’s dynamic and which manifests in the self-organizing of community by way of the conjugate habitat-inhabitant dynamic (the all-including ‘Field’ effect).
OK, WITHOUT HIS KNOWING WHAT MODERN PHYSICS KNOWS; i.e. that MATERIAL FORMS ARE CONDENSATIONS OF THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD, and WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS NEW-TO-WESTERN-CULTURE KNOWLEDGE SUPPORTS THE STRAND-IN-THE-WEB INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE of our sense-experience reality as ACKNOWLEDGED AND EMPLOYED BY INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURES, WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS HAVE STUMBLED FORWARD, PLAGUED by the DYSFUNCTIONS of FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM that come with our having OPERATIONALIZED a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME GROUNDED (MISTAKENLY) in the BINARY LOGIC ABSTRACTION of INDEPENDENT MATERIAL OBJECTS IN ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE (A DYSFUNCTIONAL MISUNDERSTANDING THAT REMAINS OPERATIVE IN TODAY”S WESTERN CULTURE DOMINATED WORLD).
WHAT’S EVEN MORE SCREWED UP IS THAT WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS CONTINUE TO GIVE THIS FRAGMENTING AND OBSCURANTIST BINARY LOGIC BASED ABSTRACTION of LOCAL, EXPLICIT, (DISCONNECTED) MATERIAL BODIES AND THEIR ACTIONS AND INTERACTIONS AS IF WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE “THE FOUNDATIONAL ROLE” IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING OF QUOTE/UNQUOTE ‘REALITY” .
NO! NO! NO! IT IS TIME TO DROP OUT OF OUR WESTERN CULTURE LIVES, THESE FRAGMENTING and OBSCURANTIST BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM LOCAL and EXPLICIT MATERIALIST PSEUDO-REALITY CONSTRUCTIONS and INSTEAD, as Modern physics and indigenous aboriginal cultures have done, ACKNOWLEDGE the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM wherein MATERIAL FORMS are CONDENSATIONS OF THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD.
The indigenous aboriginal culture understands this and has RIGHTLY WARNED US WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS (as in ‘Chief Seattle’s speech), that WE ARE MISTAKEN IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS that speak in terms of our having CONSTRUCTED A TOWN and speak of the TOWN as if IT were capable of GROWING and DEVELOPING, which CREATES THE ILLUSION of the TOWN as a LOCAL, EXPLICIT THING-IN-ITSELF notionally situated within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE (linguistic conceptualizing that is ABSTRACT since our sense-experience informs us that what is actually going on is TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE wherein everything is INCLUDED within the all-including TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka the WAVE-FIELD).
THE POINT IS that IN SPITE OF OUR WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME which supports VOYEUR VIEWING of a TOWN-THAT-IS-GROWING-AND-DEVELOPING as an INDEPENDENT OBJECT THAT IS SEPARATE FROM OUR SELF, the REALITY IS that BOTH “WE” AND “THE WORLD” we are looking out at as if it were something SEPARATE and OUT THERE IN FRONT OF US (as if WE as the OBSERVING SUBJECT and the OBSERVED OBJECT are TWO SEPARATE THINGS that are INDEPENDENT OF ONE ANOTHER)… ARE JUST ONLY ONE, AS SCHROEDINGER IS POINTING OUT, AS IS AFFIRMED BY OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE.
LET’S NOT BE CONFUSED BY OUR SUBJECT and OBJECT SPLITTING LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME BREAKS US OUT OF OUR INCLUSION IN THE WORLD (too late, that is the current plight of WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS) wherein we use our ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME TO CONSTRUCT PSEUDO-REAL SCENARIOS such as ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’ where we synthetically (intellectually) SPLIT APART THE TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE which is ONE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM so that we can create, with our WESTERN CULTURE linguistic conceptualizing scheme, a SEPARATE STAND-ALONE, LOCAL and EXPLIT “TOWN” ( anotional thing-in-itself implicitly contained within an absract absolute empty and infinite space.
By using this type of LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, we can speak about ‘the TOWN’ as if it were a LOCAL, EXPLICIT THING-IN-ITSELF, and say things like; “HE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods and services” which is NOT THE REALITY THAT is affirmed by our sense-experience, i.e. our sense-experience affirmed REALITY is the REALITY affirmed by indigenous aboriginals and by MODERN PHYSICS which is the reality of an ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM which INCLUDES OURSELVES.;
“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)
“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)
TWO MINUTE REALITY CHECK
0Author’s Preface: There is no need, in reading the following TWO MINUTE REALITY CHECK to be on the lookout for either CONSERVATIVE BIAS or LIBERAL BIAS because both of those points of view are BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM based as this article is coming from a less limiting NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM point of view. The CONSERVATIVE versus LIBERAL POLARIZED DIFFERENCE IN VIEW derives from TWO DIFFERING and BINARY OPPOSITE ways of understanding LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and development. This article is coming from the Modern physics understanding wherein ‘authoring’ is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT rather than LOCAL and EXPLICIT; e.g. where reality is understood in such terms as “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ (there is no ‘thing’ as implied when one uses the word ‘TOWN’ and there are no ‘things’ with POWERS of authoring actions and developments as suggested by ‘the TOWN is growing, developing and producing goods’. From the point of view used in this article; i.e. the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM point of view, we see that there is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX, INCLUDING OURSELVES, since we HUMANINGS, as well as the TOWNINGS, are CONDENSATIONS WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM and all such condensations are INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT by virtue of being CONDENSATIONS of ONE, ALL-INCLUDHING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD.
The LESS SIMPLE, NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM ‘REALITY’ is UNLIKE the SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM ‘REALITY’ (aka the EMPTY SPACE FRAMED ‘REALITY’ in which there are “EITHER” material objects “OR” empty space). That is, while the NONBINARY “BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM” reality is itself a FULLNESS which includes within it material CONDENSATIONS distinguishable by their APPEARANCE even though they have no independent ontological status and are referred to in modern physics as Schaumkommen (APPEARANCE). That is, in sense experience reality what is have is an ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM within which there are material CONDENSATIONS which are DISTINGUISHABLE BY APPEARANCE but are nevertheless part of the all-including energy-charged PLENUM that is continually TRANSFORMING.
This essay deals with the WESTERN CULTURE problems of FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM that derive from giving a foundational role in language (linguistic conceptualizing) to ‘too simple’ BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM. These are problems that do NOT arise in indigenous aboriginal cultures NOR in modern physics guided actions where the foundational logic is the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM. In particular, the POLARIZING ANTAGONISM between CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS…. DOES NOT ARISE in those cultures that are users of less simple NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which supports NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) constructions (e.g. Strands-in-the-Web, Condensations in the Plenum), while the PROBLEMS of FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM that are RIFE in the CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL camps DERIVE from giving a foundational role to LOCAL and EXPLICIT constructions based on TOO-SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM (empty space medium). such as INDEPENDENT (imaginary-boundary-line defined) NATIONS).
* * * * * * * * * *
There is a PROBLEM with our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that is DUMBING DOWN what we take to be our OPERATIVE REALITY.
The REALITY of Modern Physics and INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS DIFFERS FROM our COMMON WESTERN CULTURE linguistic conceptualization based reality in that the former is LESS SIMPLE (more comprehensive) than the latter in the following respect;
MODERN PHYSICS and INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL linguistic conceptualizing of REALITY is NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM based as in the understanding implied by THE “STRAND IN THE WEB’ relationship;
“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.”
If you have ever pondered why indigenous aboriginals employ RESTORATIVE JUSTICE where, instead of singling out WHO IS TO BLAME for a violent act and punishing them as in our common WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE (identify and eliminate the violence-sourcing agent), there is acceptance of the fact that we live within a WEB of relational INTERCONNECTIONS and INTERDEPENDENCIES making it IMPOSSIBLE to “GET TO THE BOTTOM” of “WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AN OUTBURST OF VIOLENCE.
This is because, in both MODERN PHYSICS and INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL UNDERSTANDING, “EVERYTHING IS RELATED” as signified by the STRANDS IN A WEB and/or by CONDENSATIONS in a TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM (WAVE-FIELD) as is the understanding of Modern Physics which mirrors the STRANDS in the WEB understanding of INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS (in their traditional understandings). When THINGS GO WRONG and VIOLENCE ERUPTS, the PERSON HOLDING THE SMOKING GUN, in other words THE VIOLENT STRAND IN THE WEB, is NOT THE AUTHOR OF THE VIOLENCE but is INSTEAD, the VENT through which the buildup of TENSIONS IN THE WEB (the social-relational matrix) FIND EXPRESSION. THIS IS THE UNDERSTANDING OF INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS and IT IS SUPPORTED BY MODERN PHYSICS as explained by David Bohm and F. David Peat (the author of BLACKFOOT PHYSICS).
HERE WE HAVE THE UNDERSTANDING THAT VIOLENT ACTIONS SPRING FORTH FROM TENSIONS IN SOCIAL RELATIONS; i.e. VIOLENCE HAS A RELATIONAL ORIGIN WITHIN THE RELATIONAL WEB AND FINDS EXPRESSION THROUGH A STRAND IN THE WEB, in which case THE VENTING STRAND IS MERELY A CONDUIT FOR VIOLENCE RATHER THAN A SOURCE OF VIOLENCE, the SOURCE of VIOLENCE being INNATELY RELATIONAL AS IN ‘NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT’ rather than LOCAL and EXPLICIT.
This UNDERSTANDING, that VIOLENCE is INNATELY RELATIONAL (NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT) and BELONGING TO THE WEB and merely VENTING THROUGH THE STRAND, is an IMPORTANT DISTINCTION that leads to RESTORATIVE JUSTICE as in INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURE rather than PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE as in WESTERN CULTURE. That is, VIOLENCE belongs to the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT WEB OF RELATIONS and merely MANIFESTS through the LOCAL and EXPLICIT STRAND IN THE WEB, which is why INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL JUSTICE IS “RESTORATIVE” (to address [resolve] the buildup of relational tensions in the relational social matrix).
The VIOLENT STRAND, while it is the LOCAL and EXPLICIT ‘VENT’ for the VIOLENCE … IS NOT THE AUTHORING SOURCE OF THE VIOLENCE; THE AUTHORING SOURCE IS RELATIONAL; i.e. NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT as is the nature of TENSIONS IN THE WEB, in which case the RESOLVING OF THE VIOLENCE IS BY WAY OF SUBSUMING THE RELATIONAL TENSIONS which in indigenous aboriginal culture is achieved through the HEALING CIRCLE wherein the community comes together, passes the talking stick whereby all members of the community get the opportunity to SPEAK FROM THE HEART.
This HEALING CIRCLE APPROACH is RESTORATIVE as there is natural EMPATHY for one another’s personal struggles, and what comes of it is an overall TRANSFORMATION of the DYNAMICS of the social-relational WEB that manifests through the modified behaviours of the participants. THERE IS NO ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY A GUILTY LOCAL, EXPLICIT AUTHOR OF VIOLENCE because it is UNDERSTOOD that the VIOLENT INDIVIDUAL “STRAND-IN-THE-WEB” is NOT THE AUTHOR OF VIOLENCE but is SERVING AS THE VENT or CONDUIT FOR VIOLENT RELEASE OF TENSIONS THAT HAVE BUILT WITHIN THE SOCIAL-RELATIONAL WEB.
* * * * * * *
Because we live in a RELATIONAL WORLD wherein EVERYTHING IS IN THE CONTINUING FLUX OF TRANSFORMATION, IT MAKES NO SENSE TO USE THE DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING AND GRAMMAR TO IMPUTE “LOCAL AUTHORING POWER” to NAMING-INSTANTIATED THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES AS IS THE WESTERN CULTURE HABITUAL PRACTICE and thus FRAGMENT REALITY, OBSCURING the INNATE INTERCONNECTIONS AND INTERDEPENDENCIES of CONDENSATIONS of the PLENUM.
* * * * * * * *
IT IS ONLY IN THE FRAGMENTED and OBSCURANTIST PSEUDO-REALITY wherein, SO WE SAY, “INDEPENDENT MATERIAL FORMS MOVE ABOUT AND INTERACT WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE” (the CLASSICAL WESTERN NEWTONIAN PHYSICS VIEW) THAT PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE ARISES.
ONCE we LET GO OF the abstract notion of SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC based INDEPENDENT MATERIAL OBJECTS with GRAMMAR-GIVEN PSEUDO-POWERS of MOVING ABOUT and INTERACTING within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, WE OPEN THE DOOR to the LESS SIMPLE (and more sensible) NONBINARY (BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM) where we understand the MATERIAL FORM as BOTH itself AND the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM it is included in, as in the INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT STRANDS IN THE WEB understanding.

THIS HAS BEEN A TWO MINUTE REALITY CHECK. (a summarizing comment is appended)
The LIES my (WESTERN) CULTURE told me.

This account of The LIES my (WESTERN) CULTURE told me centres on ,
UPGRADING OUR (WESTERN CULTURE) “REASONING” (from LOCAL and EXPLICIT REASONING to NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT RELATIONAL UNDERSTANDING)
“Indeed, nothing has yet possessed a more naive power of persuasion than the error concerning being, as it has been formulated by the Eleatics, for example. After all, every word and every sentence we say speak in its favor. Even the opponents of the Eleatics still succumbed to the seduction of their concept of being: Democritus, among others, when he invented his atom. “Reason” in language — oh, what an old deceptive witch she is! I am afraid we are not rid of God because we still have faith in grammar.” – Nietzsche, ‘Twilight of the Idols’
WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS CANNOT POSSIBLY RESOLVE OUR PROBLEMS AS LONG AS WE STICK TO “REASON”.
TRUST ME in your reading of this short note in which I am pointing out WHAT’S WRONG WITH OUR CONVENTIONAL WESTERN CULTURE REASONING, to the point that you can ‘hear what I am saying’. There is plenty of opportunity to ponder and criticize after UNDERSTANDING the points being shared but it is important to SUSPEND ONE’S KNEE-JERK REJECTIONS so that what may SOUND LIKE RADICAL OR ERRONEOUS UNDERSTANDINGS are DISMISSED or BLOCKED prior to being FULLY HEARD.
What we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have been doing with LANGUAGE is to swap out the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT for the LOCAL and EXPLICIT (THERE IS NO LOCAL AND EXPLICIT in the world of our sense-experience, IT IS ONLY APPEARANCE).

A SIMPLE SUMMARY OF THE BASIC MESSAGE IN MY SHARED NOTES
0
This summary will kick off from WHAT IS CURRENTLY CONCERNING the WORLD, at least those of us who watch the television news and discuss over the dinner table and in the coffee shops TRUMP’S latest capers.
The SIMPLE FACT is that we, the people, have developed a variety of ways of ORGANIZING OUR THOUGHTS and thus OUR ACTIONS, and what we see going on with TRUMP is a “REGRESSION” to a popular approach which largely DEFINES CONSERVATIVES which is where ‘a group of people’ opt for an ABSOLUTE TOP-DOWN ORGANIZING SCHEME giving OVERALL DIRECTION TO ONE LEADER who is given the power to MAKE THE ELEPHANT DANCE (hopefully NOT in the same manner as the CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE). THIS FORM OF POWER is characteristic of CONSERVATIVE thinking, and it CONTRASTS with LIBERAL thinking in THIS RESPECT; Liberal thinking acknowledges that there is BOTH a MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING aspect to ORGANIZATION and as well, a FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING aspect, hence Lao Tzu’s “KNOW THE MALE YET KEEP TO THE FEMALE”
For example, the LIBERAL is the SOFTIE that DOES NOT GIVE ONE-SIDED READ-MY-LIPS STRICT TOP-DOWN ORDERS as CONSERVATIVES DO; i.e. the CONSERVATIVES SUPPORT THE ONE-SIDED TOP-DOWN AUTHORITY which simply DROPS OUT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the EVER-PRESENT FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ANABLING CONJUGATE, a DROP-OUT that has been BUILT IN TO WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING. For example, if we PUNCH another person and their SKULL FRACTURES, that FRACTURING could be coming from (A) the FORCE OF OUR PUNCH and/or (B) the EGG-SHELL FRAGILITY of the SKULL and this ANDROGYNOUS ambiguity is ALWAYS PRESENT but our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME “DROPS OUT” ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate so that in WESTERN CULTURE JUSTICE, if a person punches another person and their SKULL FRACTURES, … BECAUSE IT IS AN EGG-SHELL THIN SKULL READY TO FRACTURE WITH THE SLIGHTEST OF BLOWS.
NOW, HERE’S WHERE GOEDEL’S THEOREM COMES INTO PLAY; i.e. THE THEOREM OF THE INCOMPLETENESS OF ALL FINITE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS. WHEN WE SAY THE PUNCH SHATTERED THE RECIPIENT’S SKULL, this is TRUE but INCOMPLETE. It is INCOMPLETE because it fails to CAPTURE the FULL REALITY wherein the EGG-SHELL THIN STATUS OF THE SKULL contributed to the SHATTERING of the SKULL so it was NOT JUST THE PUNCH that was RESPONSIBLE for the SHATTERING OF THE SKULL but ALSO, AT THE SAME TIME, the ‘GIVE’ (female accommodating/enabling) OF THE EGGSHELL-THIN SKULL.
THERE IS THUS A PROBLEM WITH WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING because “WE ARE DROPPING OUT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING ROLE that is part of EVERY INTERACTION. In other words, ALTHOUGH WE ATTRIBUTE DAMAGE to a MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING PUNCH, THERE IS ALWAYS A CO-CONTRIBUTION COMING FROM THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE. RECALL THE PRIZE-FIGHT which was FIXED in that the BOXER FAVOURED TO WIN was evidently knocked out BY A PUNCH FROM HIS LESS CAPABLE OPPONENT, … OR DID HE ‘TAKE A DIVE’? How would we know because what’s involved here is the ANDROGYNOUS phenomenon wherein the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING and the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING are FLIP SIDES OF A SINGLE CONJUGATE DYNAMIC wherein the TWO SEPARATE COMPONENTS WE SPEAK OF; i.e. the “EFFECTOR” and the “RECEPTOR” ARE NOT “SEPARATE” as in a BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM relation, but are ONLY ONE thing within a CONJUGATE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM STRUCTURE; i.e. the INCLUDING MEDIUM is the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM and the EFFECTOR-RECEPTOR relationship is NON-BINARY and is that type of relationship that Lev Vygotsky describes, that confuses many WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, such as Jean Piaget (child psychologist) and thus confuses at the same time, his many readers.
“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” implying a WAVE-BASED STRUCTURE.
“Our disagreement with Piaget centers on one point only, but an important point. He assumes that development and instruction are entirely separate, incommensurate processes, that the function of instruction is merely to introduce adult ways of thinking, which conflict with the child’s own and eventually supplant them. Such a supposition stems from the old psychological tradition of separating the structural from the functional aspects of development.” –Vygotsky
* * * * *
OK, I DID ENTITLE THIS NOTE “A SIMPLE SUMMARY OF THE MESSAGE IN THESE NOTES.” and I would describe Vygotsky’s pointing out of Piaget’s MISTAKE as basically pointing out a SIMPLE MISTAKE that WE WESTERN CULTURE FOLKS are MAKING EVERY DAY because WE HAVE BUILT IT INTO OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, which is sometimes given the tag ‘DEA ABSCONDITA (Goddess in Hiding) because INSTEAD OF OVERTLY ACKNOWLEDGING THAT “MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING” and “FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING” are “CONCEPTS THAT REPRESENT TWO SIDES OF THE SAME CONCEPT FORMATION”, we are NOT ONLY SPEAKING of EACH OF THEM as if that MAKES SENSE, but we are actually DROPPING OUT ONE OF THEM (THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING) and EMPLOYING THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING “AS IF” ON ITS OWN, and I put the SCARE QUOTES around “AS IF” because it MAKES NO SENSE TO SPLIT INTO TWO SEPARATE PARTS AN ANDROGYNOUS CONJUGATE RELATION. THE PEAK-AND-TROUGH CONJUGATE of a WAVE cannot be REALISTICALLY be broken down into a PEAK which is the male assertive actualizing AGENT … AND … a TROUGH which is the female accommodating/enabling AGENT. THERE ARE NOT TWO SEPARATE THINGS HERE, THERE IS ONLY THE ONE ANDROGYNOUS THING that, in Vygotsky’s words, represents two sides of the same concept formation”
NOTA BENE: WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, not only just in Piaget’s writing, but in general, is commonly (A) using BINARY LOGIC to split apart the two sides of the same concept formation
into BOTH “MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING” … AND… “FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING” … but NOW THAT WE HAVE CREATED TWO SEPARATE THINGS, AKIN TO A MALE “PEAK” and a FEMALE “TROUGH”, we continue to compound our error of NAMING-INSTANTIATED BEING, with the second error of GRAMMAR INSTANTIATED POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING of our just-created FRAGMENT, … and we compound it by DROPPING OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE, leaving us with MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING PEAKS ON THEIR OWN; i.e. MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AGENCY ON ITS OWN which means AS IF IN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.
ACHTUNG! NOTA BENE! WE NOW HAVE A NEW OPERATOR (NOTIONALLY) which is a MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AGENT, now LIBERATED from its Siamese Twin binding with the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE, so that the LIBERATED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AGENT CAN NOW BE FOUND IN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE.
So, now we have a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME wherein it is legitimate to speak in ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING TERMS such as “The PUNCH shattered the recipient’s SKULL” (WAIT A MINUTE, how much of this SKULL SHATTERING was due to the accommodating weakness of the SKULL?). This IMAGERY of INDEPENDENT PEOPLE IN A PUNCHING MATCH is a LONG WAY from the imagery of hordes of people in a crowded piazza which are like CONDENSATIONS in an all-including ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM in that they are INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT, where POGO might say; “WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US!”
GUESS WHAT! WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING HAS GENERALIZED THE DROPPING OUT OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE AND GOING WITH ONLY THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AGENCY.
BUT WHAT DID WE JUST FINISH SAYING? WE SAID THAT THERE ARE NOT TWO SEPARATE THINGS HERE, THERE IS ONLY THE ONE ANDROGYNOUS THING that, in Vygotsky’s words, represents two sides of the same concept formation”
THIS IS CONFUSING US BECAUSE WE HAVE BUILT THIS DROPPING OUT OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE INTO OUR WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, BUT AS WE HAVE JUST REMINDED OURSELVES, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE, … OR MORE CORRECTLY, “IT MAKE NO SENSE” TO USE A LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that (A) MISTAKENLY PRESENTS A MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING COMPONENT AND A FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING COMPONENT AS TWO SEPARATE THINGS, and that (B) MISTAKENLY DROPS OUT THE FEMALE ACOMMODATING/ENABLING COMPONENT AND EMPLOYS THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING COMPONENT “ON ITS OWN”. NO! NO! NO! IT DOES NOT EXIST ON ITS OWN, IT EXISTS ONLY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ANDROGYNOUS COMBINATION; i.e. as two sides of the same concept formation.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS (the DAMAGE DONE) by our POPULAR USE OF (A) and (B) in WESTERN CULTURE COMMON, EVERYDAY LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZINGS?
Because we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate which informs us on the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT and without which, our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS are constrained to the LOCAL AND EXPLICIT, this gives rise to FRAGMENTATION, as captured by Bohm as follows;
1 FRAGMENTATION AND WHOLENESS
The title of this chapter is ‘Fragmentation and wholeness’. It is especially important to consider this question today, for fragmentation is now very widespread, not only throughout society, but also in each individual; and this is leading to a kind of general confusion of the mind, which creates an endless series of problems and interferes with our clarity of perception so seriously as to prevent us from being able to solve most of them.
Thus art, science, technology, and human work in general, are divided up into specialities, each considered to be separate in essence from the others. Becoming dissatisfied with this state of affairs, men have set up further interdisciplinary subjects, which were intended to unite these specialities, but these new subjects have ultimately served mainly to add further separate fragments. Then, society as a whole has developed in such a way that it is broken up into separate nations and different religious, political, economic, racial groups, etc. Man’s natural environment has correspondingly been seen as an aggregate of separately existent parts, to be exploited by different groups of people. Similarly, each individual human being has been fragmented into a large number of separate and conflicting compartments, according to his different desires, aims, ambitions, loyalties, psychological characteristics, etc., to such an extent that it is generally accepted that some degree of neurosis is inevitable, while many individuals going beyond the ‘normal’ limits of fragmentation are classified as paranoid, schizoid, psychotic, etc.
* * * * * * *
THIS HAS BEEN “A SIMPLE SUMMARY OF THE MESSAGE IN THESE NOTES.”
I have seen a lot of this written about in far more elaborate ways, and I have myself written REAMS of more complicated explorations of these topics so, in that context, I can claim that this NOTE is A SIMPLE SUMMARY of the messages in the long series of NOTES.
What this note BOILS DOWN TO is rather UNTHINKABLE for us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS because it supports this SCARY STATEMENT BY BOHM on FRAGMENTATION … and wholeness.
FACED WITH THIS MASSIVE SCREW-UP ON THE PART OF WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS that we have BUILT INTO AND CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS, WHERE DO WE GO AND WHAT DO WE DO?
SO FAR, NOWHERE AND NOTHING, because we continue to be DISTRACTED by SECOND ORDER ISSUES such as the POLARIZATIONS that we are hatching with our TOO SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC based MISCONCEPTUALIZATIONS of QUOTE/UNQUOTE “REALITY” which we need NONBINARY LOGIC to get ourselves out of this BINARY LOGIC based FIASCO.
SHOULD I QUIT THIS NOTE WITHOUT SUGGESTING ANY REMEDIES? I WOULD RATHER CLOSE WITH SOME RECOMMENDATIONS ON REMEDIES but what GETS IN MY WAY is our DUMBED DOWN LANGUAGE which is nowadays mostly BINARY LOGIC based and BINARY LOGIC IS THE PROBLEM!
ANYWAY, RATHER THAN CLOSING OUT AFTER RAISING ATTENTION TO A HUMONGOUS PROBLEM, WITHOUT OFFERING ANY SOLUTIONS, I WILL PULL OUT THE NONBINARY LANGUAGE, THAT IS NEEDED HERE, AND SAY THAT THE REMEDY FOR US WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS WHO ARE STUCK IN THE LA-LA LAND OF BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS, IS TO SWITCH OFF THE BINARY LOGIC based THINKING and OPEN UP THE NONBINARY LOGIC based THINKING wherein we will be able to see that, for starters, RESTORATIVE JUSTICE is the right way to go. It is NONBINARY LOGIC based and NONBINARY LOGIC is the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, … which is where we accept views based on two sides of the same concept formation. and by this what is meant is what Vygotsky means which is that our REALITY is NOT BINARY LOGIC based as is the persisting popular thought, built into our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME where we CONSTRUCT representation based on MATERIAL FORMS in ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE which has us saying ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING THINGS such as ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’… FULL STOP. This SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THE CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS AND THUS SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THE OVERALL ‘REAL REALITY’ of our INCLUSION IN THE ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.
HEY! OTHERS, such as indigenous aboriginals, DO HAVE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES SUPPORTIVE of such NON-BINARY LOGIC based relations, and out of those schemes comes different ways of understanding reality as exemplified by RESTORATIVE JUSTICE where, in order to understand it, we need the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which tells us that EVERYTHING IS RELATED (mitakuye oyasin) and that we are all INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT as is understood in terms that WE and all material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the all-including energy-charged PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD, and all this has been confirmed by MODERN PHYSICS but it HASN’T ‘TAKEN’ IN WESTERN CULTURE YET because we remain HUNG UP ON TOO SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS such as ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’ which DROPS OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS without which there would be no GROWING OF THE TOWN. But as Vygotsky was saying in his critique of Piaget, where we REALLY NEED TO GET TO LIES BEYOND OUR SIMPLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE EXISTENCE OF BOTH THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING INFLUENCE and the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING INFLUENCE to the point of understanding that these TWO CONCEPTS ARE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME (ANDROGYNOUS, WAVE-FIELD) CONCEPT FORMATION .
“Though fundamentally different in nature, the development of scientific [local and explicit as in the growing town] and spontaneous [nonlocal and implicit as in the shrinking wilderness] concepts represents two sides of the same concept formation” which is TRANSFORMATION.
But the mistake we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are making is in thinking we can SPLIT APART the ANDROGYNOUS (WAVE-FIELD) COMBINATION (ERROR NUMBER ONE) and then KEEP THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING PART AND DROP OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING PART (ERROR NUMBER TWO).
THIS LEAVES US WITH OUR WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME THAT IS THE BASIS FOR OUR CONSTRUCTIONS OF REALITY, and WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS HAVE NOT ACKNOWLEDGED, AS INDIGENOUS ABORIGINARS HAVE, THAT EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX, but have instead opted for ABSTRACTION consisting of LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL BEINGS, NOTIONALLY WITH POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING;.
Our judgement has us conclude that every change must have an author”;–but this conclusion is already mythology: it separates that which effects from the effecting. If I say “lightning flashes,” I have posited the flash once as an activity and a second time as a subject, and thus added to the event a being that is not one with the event but is rather fixed, “is” and does not “become.”–To regard an event as an “effecting,” and this as being, that is the double error, or interpretation, of which we are guilty.” – Nietzsche, ‘Will to Power’, 531
ADD TO THIS, DOUBLE ERROR BASED LOCAL AUTHORING CONSTRUCTS SUCH AS; “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING” and our WESTERN CULTURE conditioned mind may be in a state of celebration and NOT SEE what is IMPLIED as is what the indigenous aboriginals are ‘seeing’ which is the CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS, explicit acknowledgement of which has been DROPPED OUT of WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING.
TIME TO CLOSE THIS NOTE ENTITLED; (“A SIMPLE SUMMARY OF THE BASIC MESSAGE IN MY SHARED NOTES “MY SHARED NOTES ” referring to the long multi-year series of notes).
I am hoping that the reader will have gathered from this particular NOT entitled “A SIMPLE SUMMARY OF THE BASIC MESSAGE IN MY SHARED NOTES.”
the understanding that WESTERN CULTURE is currently OFF THE RAILS in its understanding of REALITY as is affirmed by our sense-experience and as is affirmed by indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents in the context of the NONBINARY LOGIC based structure of our REALITY as explained through this SIMPLE SUMMARY. In order to BRING TO MIND the RADICAL DIFFERENCES between WESTERN CULTURE BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS of QUOTE/UNQUOTE “REALITY” and MODERN PHYSICS and INDIGENOUS ABORGINAL NONBINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS of REALITY, one can think in terms of RESTORATIVE JUSTICE (of indigenous aboriginal people) vis a vis PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE (of WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS) where, in the former, WE ARE ALL RELATED as CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM whereby JUSTICE IS RESTORATIVE because THERE IS NO GETTING TO THE BOTTOM of an OUTBURST OF VIOLENCE where we are all STRANDS IN THE COMMON WEB; i.e. there is no LOCAL AUTHOR of VIOLENT EVENTS and the PERSON HOLDING THE SMOKING GUN is the STRAND IN THE WEB that is the CONDUIT for the VIOLENT VENTING of TENSIONS that build within the INTERCONNECTING and INTERDEPENDING WEB.
THE REMEDY FOR SUCH VIOLENCE is RESTORATIVE JUSTICE which employs NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM in finding ways to RESTORE and SUSTAIN RELATIONAL BALANCE AND HARMONY to resolve outbreaks of RELATIONAL IMBALANCE and DISSONANCE. The VIOLENT STRAND IN THE WEB is understood NOT AS THE LOCAL AUTHOR but as the CONDUIT through which a build up of TENSIONS in the social-relational web are VIOLENTLY VENTED.
BY CONTRAST, WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE operates on the OUTDATED SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC based BELIEF IN INDEPENDENT BEINGS that purportedly move about and interact in an ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE OF INFINITE EXTENT. When a STRAND IN THE WEB becomes VIOLENT in WESTERN CULTURE, he is MIS-IDENTIFIED as an INDEPENDENT BEING and thus accused of being the LOCAL AUTHOR of the VIOLENCE (which brings to mind the SCAPEGOATING OF THE IDENTIFIED PATIENT) and therefore PUNISHED by way of INCARCERATION or ELIMINATION, there being NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of his innate INCLUSION in an INTERCONNECTING and INTERDEPENDENT RELATIONAL WEB, due to the OVER-SIMPLIFYING that comes with SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC which is the common standard in WESTERN CULTURE PSYCHO-LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS and has remained so for CENTURIES in spite of the new AWARENESS OF MODERN PHYSICS with its ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM that supports understanding in terms of global INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE.
WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE which presumes the existence of INDEPENDENT BEINGS with their own POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS is, as SYSTEMS SCIENCES show, LOCKED IN BY HIGH SWITCHING COSTS; i.e. a REWARDS AND PUNISHMENT SCHEME based on LOCAL AUTHORING of ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS, a SCHEME which is NO LONGER SUPPORTABLE in the MODERN PHYSICS based REVISION of understanding wherein EVERYTHING IS RELATED (there are no ‘INDEPENDENT BEINGS’ that live within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY and INFINITE SPACE as has been the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION BASED FOUNDATIONAL UNDERSTANDING FOR WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE).
* * * * * * * * * * * *
THE BASIC MESSAGE IN MY SHARED NOTES is saying that WE ARE LIVING IN A WORLD where we can understand ourselves as STRANDS IN A WEB in which case OUR ACTIONS ARE INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT, so that, as in the THREE BODY PROBLEM of PHYSICS, the DYNAMICS of the WEB CANNOT BE REDUCED TO THE SUM OF THE DYNAMICS OF THE INDIVIDUAL STRANDS IN THE WEB. The REALITY is that when THREE OR MORE PARTICIPANTS CO-CULTIVATE ACTION AS WITH STRANDS IN A WEB, SUCH ACTION IS MORE COMPLEX THAN CAN BE REDUCED TO THE SUM OF THE LOCAL AUTHORING CONTRIBUTIONS (as with WAVE-FIELDS, different contributions may tend to reinforce one another or may tend to cancel each other out).
IN the STRAND IN THE WEB SITUATION wherein THREE OR MORE INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT STRANDS ARE INVOLVED, WE CANNOT RESOLVE “WHICH STRAND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT”, SO THAT IF THERE IS VIOLENCE THAT VENTS THROUGH AN INDIVIDUAL STRAND, THE ORIGIN OF THE VIOLENCE IS NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT AND “THERE IS NO LOCAL AND EXPLICIT AUTHORING SOURCE” and the STRAND that is manifestly VIOLENTLY VENTING THE TENSIONS, WHILE SERVING AS THE CONDUIT FOR THE VIOLENT VENTING, IS NOT THE AUTHORING SOURCE OF THE VIOLENCE, BUT DUE TO THE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR, THE STRAND THAT IS MERELY THE VENTING CHANNEL FOR THE VIOLENT RELEASE OF TENSIONS, IS MISIDENTIFIED AS THE LOCAL AUTHOR OF THE VIOLENCE.
THIS IS A CASE OF “THE SCAPE-GOATING OF THE IDENTIFIED PATIENT” as occurs in WESTERN CULTURE PSYCHOLOGY in a DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY where the ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE IS NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (RELATIONAL) AND HAS NO LOCAL AUTHORING SOURCE, BUT BECAUSE OF THE WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, which gives a FOUNDATIONAL ROLE to the LOCAL and EXPLICIT, there is a MISTAKEN INTERPRETATION OF THERE BEING A “LOCAL EXPLICIT AUTHOR” of the VIOLENCE when the REALITY is that the ORIGIN OF THE VIOLENCE is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (RELATIONAL), coming from the WEB (where the AUTHORING SOURCE IS LAUNDERED OUT by way of the THREE BODY PROBLEM) and merely VENTING THROUGH A LOCAL, EXPLICIT STRAND. THIS MEANS THAT PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE (elimination of a purported LOCAL AUTHORING SOURCE) IS NOT VIABLE since THERE ARE NO LOCAL AUTHORING SOURCES (the SOURCING OF THE WEB IS NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT). SINCE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, IN THE STRAND-IN-THE-WEB DYNAMIC, TO IDENTIFY AND ELIMINATE A LOCAL, EXPLICIT SOURCE OF VIOLENCE, the REMEDY FOR VIOLENCE DOES NOT INVOLVE THE IDENTIFYING AND ELIMINATING OF A ‘LOCAL AUTHOR OF VIOLENCE’ SINCE THE AUTHORING IS NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT, THE REMEDY IS INSTEAD THE CO-CULTIVATING OF RELATIONAL RESONANCE/HARMONY. That is, the STRAND IN THE WEB that is the APPARENT AUTHOR OF THE VIOLENCE IS, in indigenous aboriginal culture, UNDERSTOOD TO BE NOT THE AUTHOR BUT THE CONDUIT STRAND IN THE WEB THAT IS VENTING TENSIONS ARISING IN THE WEB, in which case, in indigenous aboriginal culture, THERE IS NO SCAPE-GOATING OF THE INDENTIFIED PATIENT (since it is understood that the STRAND THAT IS VIOLENTLY VENTING TENSIONS IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF THE VIOLENCE), and the REMEDY is based on RESTORING BALANCE AND HARMONY IN THE INTERCONNECTING AND INTERDEPENDENT SYSTEM OF STRANDS IN THE WEB.

AUTHOR’S CLOSING COMMENT:
What is explained in the above essay is how INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL AND MODERN PHYSICS WORLDVIEW DIVIDES from WESTERN CULTURE WORLDVIEW which in turn explains how the CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL POLITICS of WESTERN CULTURE ARE BOTH MISGUIDED BY THEIR GIVING A FOUNDATIONAL ROLE TO THE ABSOLUTES of “BEING”, and “LOCAL AUTHORING”.
It can be seen that the THREE BODY PROBLEM is an ARTIFACT of the USE of TOO-SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC which DISAPPEARS once there is acknowledgement of the LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY LOGIC STRUCTURE wherein material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM (aka WAVE-FIELD). The THREE BODY PROBLEM (the impossibility of calculating the exact trajectories of three or more bodies moving under one-another’s simultaneous mutual influence) is a reminder that EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX (mitakuye oyasin) including the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM within which MATERIAL FORMS are APPEARANCE (Schaumkommen). Because there is ambiguity between material condensations and the energy-charged PLENUM they share inclusion in, we cannot use BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM when we are using LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING to convey REALITY since the BINARY LOGIC options of EITHER MATTER OR EMPTY SPACE are TOO SIMPLE since we need to capture the LESS SIMPLE BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM where the material form is actually a DYNAMIC RELATIONAL FEATURE WITHIN THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM as with the WHORLING in the FLOWING which are NOT TWO SEPARATE THINGS but ANDROGYNOUS FEATURES WITHIN THE ONE “FLOWING” THING (the transforming relational continuum).
“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.”
And as with the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT FLUID TRANSFORMING FLOW OF THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, no amount of LOCAL and EXPLICIT definition in terms of WHAT THINGS DO can capture the NONLOCAL and and IMPLICIT dynamics of TRANSFORMATION.
WESTERN CULTURE “SCAPE-GOATING OF THE IDENTIFIED PATIENT” is the result of the WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING HABIT of ESTABLISHING ‘LOCAL AUTHORING’ WHERE THERE IS NO SUCH THING. TRANSFORMATION IS FOUNDATIONAL AND IT IS NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT and this means that the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME must have this capability which means that LOCAL and EXPLICIT CONSTRUCTS ARE INSUFFICIENT and the SCAPE-GOATING of the IDENTIFIED PATIENT IS EXEMPLARY of PUSHING THE LOCAL AND EXPLICIT BEYOND ITS LIMITED CAPABILITY IN AN ATTEMPT TO CONCEPTUALIZE THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT. In the INTERCONNECTING AND INTERDEPENDENT STRAND IN THE WEB RELATION, EMERGENT DEVELOPMENTS ARE OF A NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT NATURE which is why INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL JUSTICE IS RESTORATIVE (SINCE VIOLENCE DERIVES FROM THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT [relational] RATHER THAN FROM LOCAL and EXPLICIT ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS, the latter (which are APPEARANCE) opening the way to PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE (IDENTIFICATION AND ELIMINATION OF THE PURPORTED LOCAL AUTHOR OF VIOLENCE).
THERE ARE NO LOCAL AUTHORS IN MODERN PHYSICS NOR IN INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURES. OUTBURSTS OF VIOLENCE OR DYSFUNCTION ARE OF A NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT ORIGIN, hence the need for RESTORATIVE rather than PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE.
THE WORLD TODAY IS EXPERIENCING THE VIOLENT BLOSSOMING OF AN INSIDIOUS MISUNDERSTANDING

INTRODUCTION:
Schroedinger’s “SUBJECT AND OBJECT ARE ONLY ONE” is saying the same thing as Chief Seattle’s ….“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.” This means that WE are NOT INDEPENDENT BEINGS because as Modern physics informs us, material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM (WAVE-FIELD) which accords with the indigenous aboriginal STRANDS IN THE WEB relation which is the NON-BINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM relation.
This essay explains the INSIDIOUS MISUNDERSTANDING that has been built into WESTERN CULTURE (and Judaic, Christian, Islamic) BELIEF IN BINARY LOGIC-based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING that is having a MAJOR IMPACT on the GLOBAL SOCIAL DYNAMIC through the spread of, and now globally popular use of BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM. This (TOO-) SIMPLE LOGIC MISREPRESENTS the STRAND IN THE WEB as an INDEPENDENT BEING which leads to PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE (the IDENTIFYING and PUNISHING (or ELIMINATING) of the ‘PURPORTED LOCAL AUTHORS’ of VIOLENT or PROBLEMATIC ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS. I say ‘PURPORTED LOCAL AUTHORS’, because, by contrast, Indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta JUSTICE IS RESTORATIVE due to the UNDERSTANDING that the AUTHORING of EVENTS (VIOLENT or OTHERWISE, is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT as in the STRAND in the WEB metaphor where the STRAND that becomes VIOLENT is so because it is VENTING a buildup of TENSIONS in the WEB in which case the STRAND that becomes VIOLENT is NOT THE AUTHOR of such VIOLENCE and this is why JUSTICE is RESTORATIVE, where the full community accepts responsibility for RELATIONAL DISSONANCE IN THE WEB (the actual source of the VIOLENCE) and employs remedial responses such as “the HEALING CIRCLE” that do NOT fall prey to the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR as is the INSIDIOUS MISUNDERSTANDING OF WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE which WRONGLY IDENTIFIES “A LOCAL AUTHOR” of VIOLENCE even though the AUTHORING is actually NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) since it is coming through the WEB to the STRAND or in other words, THROUGH THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM to the CONDENSATION.
As Schroedinger points out, WE (WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS) ARE MISTAKEN IN OUR ATTRIBUTING OF the VIOLENCE of a STRAND to the STRAND since the STRAND (individual) in the WEB (social collective) is only the CONDUIT for the VENTING of TENSIONS that build within the WEB (social collective).
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Here we are going to reaffirm the UNDERSTANDING that ARISTOTLE MISSED and which CONSTITUTES AN INSIDIOUS MISUNDERSTANDING in our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING APPROACH which I would call “THE TRADE-OUT OF THE REAL NON-BINARY BOTH/AND (ANDROGYNOUS) LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM STRUCTURE OF THE WORLD OF OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE for the TOO-SIMPLE, SYNTHETIC BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM WHEREIN WE ‘DROP OUT’ THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE, REDUCING THE ANDROGYNOUS BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM which is consistent with our SENSE-EXPERIENCE to the ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING OF BINARY LOGIC which is an INTELLECTUAL REDUCTION to a SIMPLE PSEUDO-REALITY WHICH IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE. Here is an example of the REDUCTION;
********
-1- The FULL NON-BINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM CONCEPTUALIZATION which is consistent with INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING and consistent with MODERN (WAVE-FIELD based) PHYSICS: “There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” which is a conceptualization wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX; i.e. there is NO DEPENDENCE ON EITHER/OR ‘BEING’ as the informing by means of this NON-BINARY LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING is purely RELATIONAL as supported by RELATIONAL FORMS that are CONDENSATIONS of the continually transforming ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD.
-2- THE COMMON WESTERN CULTURE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM CONCEPTUALIZATION which is given THE FOUNDATIONAL ROLE in our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING and consistent with NEWTONIAN MECHANICS based PHYSICS; “The TOWN (as a LOCAL, EXPLICIT THING-IN-ITSELF) is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods” which is a conceptualization employing the abstractions of ABSOLUTE MATERIAL BEING and ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE in a BINARY LOGIC based COMBINATION wherein ‘the TOWN is “PORTRAYED” AS IF ABLE TO GROW, DEVELOP and PRODUCE goods “BY WAY OF ITS OWN LOCAL AUTHORING POWER” as if it were situated within “AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE”.
**********
ACHTUNG! NOTA BENE! This next ‘understanding’ plays the FOUNDATIONAL ROLE in the INSIDIOUS MISUNDERSTANDING.
Plato clearly distinguished between Heraclitus’ SIMULTANEOUS unity and plurality of the cosmos and Empedocles’ SEPARATE PERIODS OF Love and Strife. At the same time, they are mentioned together as both alike in believing in the unity and plurality of the cosmos; and Aristotle’s coupling of the two might conceivably have been motivated by the Platonic comparison, the important distinction between them being overlooked.” -Kirk, Raven et al, The Prosocratic Philosophers.<.mark>
This MISTAKE of trading out, by way of our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, the NATURAL SIMULTANEOUS NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT unity and plurality of the cosmos, BY SUBSTITUTING IN ITS PLACE, the UNNATURAL SEQUENTIAL LOCAL and EXPLICIT independence and fragmentation by way of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR (Nietzsche) PSEUDO-REALITY based construction has inflicted us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS with a FRAGMENTED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING of that which in our SENSE-EXPERIENCE IS the NATURAL SIMULTANEOUS NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT unity and plurality, … AS IS ACKNOWLEDGED IN FLOW-BASED LANGUAGES such as INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL languages and as in BOHM’S ‘Rheomode’ language.
The WESTERN CULTURE SUBSTITUTING of SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM for the Modern physics grounded and indigenous aboriginal standard of NON-BINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM is providing us with a SIMPLIFIED BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME at the EXPENSE OF the DROPPING OUT OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE (the DEA ABSCONDITA or Goddess in Hiding) which gives us a stripped down BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME supported ONLY by notional INDEPENDENT MATERIAL OBJECTS as if WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, which we ANIMATE (in our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS) with the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR.
ACHTUNG! NOTA BENE! PROBLEMO! (the DROP OUT OF THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE which renders IMPOSSIBLE the conveying of WAVE-FIELD dynamics since we are leaving ourselves with a mess of INDEPENDENT MATERIAL OBJECTS situated within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE which we must ANIMATE with GRAMMAR and where THERE IS NO CAPABILITY OF TRANSFORMATION, only MECHANICAL INTERACTION. This is the source of INSIDIOUS MISUNDERSTANDING which as Bohm describes and gives UPFRONT NOTICE of in his classic ‘Wholeness and the Implicate Order’, … WARNING us of how this SHORTFALL in our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING is FRAGMENTING our UNDERSTANDING and literally DRIVING US CRAZY! David Bohm has exposed our predicament in his LEADOFF CHAPTER (1) in “WHOLENESS AND THE IMPLICATE ORDER”, copied here as follows;
1 FRAGMENTATION AND WHOLENESS
The title of this chapter is ‘Fragmentation and wholeness’. It is especially important to consider this question today, for fragmentation is now very widespread, not only throughout society, but also in each individual; and this is leading to a kind of general confusion of the mind, which creates an endless series of problems and interferes with our clarity of perception so seriously as to prevent us from being able to solve most of them.
Thus art, science, technology, and human work in general, are divided up into specialities, each considered to be separate in essence from the others. Becoming dissatisfied with this state of affairs, men have set up further interdisciplinary subjects, which were intended to unite these specialities, but these new subjects have ultimately served mainly to add further separate fragments. Then, society as a whole has developed in such a way that it is broken up into separate nations and different religious, political, economic, racial groups, etc. Man’s natural environment has correspondingly been seen as an aggregate of separately existent parts, to be exploited by different groups of people. Similarly, each individual human being has been fragmented into a large number of separate and conflicting compartments, according to his different desires, aims, ambitions, loyalties, psychological characteristics, etc., to such an extent that it is generally accepted that some degree of neurosis is inevitable, while many individuals going beyond the ‘normal’ limits of fragmentation are classified as paranoid, schizoid, psychotic, etc.
The BLINDNESS of TRUMP and TRUMP SUPPORTERS

PREFACE: BINARY LOGIC is the source of GLOBAL DYSFUNCTION as manifests in the RUSSIA-UKRAINE CONFLICT, the ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONFLICT and the PAKISTAN-INDIA CONFLICT. BINARY LOGIC LEADS TO UNRESOLVABLE POLARIZED OPPOSITION. LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM LOGIC “MAKES SENSE” AND IT DOES NOT LEAD, AS BINARY LOGIC DOES, TO DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSING CONFLICTS AS IN THE IMAGINATION OF INDEPENDENT NATIONS THAT IMAGINE THEMSELVES IN PURSUIT OF THEIR OWN NATIONAL INTERESTS BECAUSE QUANTUM LOGIC GIVES US THE UNDERSTANDING THAT EVERYTHING IS INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT in which case THE PURSUIT OF INDEPENDENT NATIONAL INTERESTS ON A BINARY LOGIC “WE ARE IN THE RIGHT AND THEY ARE IN THE WRONG” BASIS IS MADNESS which is afflicting PEOPLE who are FORGETTING the INCOMPLETENESS OF ALL FINITE BINARY LOGIC PROPOSITIONS. In the REAL WORLD of our SENSE-EXPERIENCE, everything is INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT and it is ONLY IN THE INTELLECTUAL ABSTRACT PSEUDO-WORLD of LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS WHERE BINARY LOGIC BASED “DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE” appear to ‘make sense’. The FLY IN THE OINTMENT is that ALL FINITE BINARY LOGIC BASED PROPOSITIONS ARE INCOMPLETE so WHILE the PROPOSITION that DECLARES THE EXISTENCE OF A NATION of such and such an AREA with such and such a POPULATION, may well be TRUE, such a truth is INCOMPLETE since if fails to acknowledge the INNATE INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE OF SUCH NATIONS, in which case, there is NOTHING THAT CAN BE SAID IN TERMS OF THE “GROWTH” and ‘”DEVELOPMENT” and “PRODUCTION” of a PARTICULAR NATION. As Nietzsche has pointed out, PROPOSITIONS such as ‘THE TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods’ which imputes to the TOWN, POWERS of LOCAL AUTHORING, are the synthetic illusions of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR.
The BINARIES which are so popular in the SPEECHES of the LEADERS involved in the RUSSIA-UKRAINE CONFLICT, the ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONFLICT and the PAKISTAN-INDIA CONFLICT are CHERRY-PICKED TRUTHS which are INCOMPLETE, NOT ARBITRARILY OR BY ACCIDENT, BUT in a strategically crafted, political guided manner, as is shown to be possible by Goedel’s Theorem of the INCOMPLETENESS of all finite logical propositions. The ENTIRELY FALSE INFERENCE is that EACH NATION is INDEPENDENT and is the FULL AND SOLE AUTHOR OF THE ACTIONS OF THE NATION, as rests on the BINARY LOGIC based abstract assumption of the “INDEPENDENT NATION” as given by NAMING which notionally establishes BEING coupled with GRAMMAR which notionally equips the NAMING-instantiated BEING with ‘IT’S OWN POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and development’. This contrivance Nietzsche labelled “the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR” which supports the synthetic notion of LOCAL AUTHORING.
I have added this PREFACE to share that while this essay orients to a particular topic; i.e. The BLINDNESS of TRUMP and TRUMP SUPPORTERS, it points to systemic faults in WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING that go well beyond the confusion being introduced by TRUMP who is attempting to promote the dumbing down of the WESTERN CULTURE mode of linguistic conceptualizing from LEVEL 1 AWARENESS of TRANSFORMATION to level 3 AWARE CONSERVATISM, inducing backlash from level 2 AWARE LIBERALS which is being directed at CONSERVATIVES, setting up LEVEL 3 – LEVEL 2 ping-ponging conflict that is obscuring the fact that resolution of BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC conflict comes with LEVEL 1 QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC AWARENESS.
* * * * * * * * * *
ALL OF US HAVE AN ‘AWARENESS’ which we can OPEN UP or CLOSE DOWN on a THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS basis, as has been described in different ways by different investigators, the classic overview coming in the writings of Systems theorist Erich Jantsch and his description of how we have the option to HOME IN ON “OUR FAVOURITE” LEVEL OF AWARENESS which creates DIVISION BETWEEN US given the reality of ‘DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS’.
DONALD TRUMP is what we can call the advocate of OPENING UP (ONLY AS FAR AS) TO LEVEL 3 AWARENESS which is PRODUCTION, which is the LOWEST AWARENESS of the THREE LEVELS, the LEVEL 2 AWARENESS being CONSUMPTION and the HIGHEST LEVEL OF AWARENESS, LEVEL 1 AWARENESS, BEING the AWARENESS OF TRANSFORMATION that is ALL-INCLUDING.
TRUMP has a SINGLE-MINDED AWARENESS THAT IS FOCUSED ON PRODUCTION as is clear in his desire to GET THINGS DONE without getting bogged down by CONSORTIA DISCUSSIONS where there is endless debate (the reason why he has now put together a collection of ministers in his government who are all “YES-MEN”). Such a profile describes LEVEL 3 AWARE CONSERVATIVES who dedicate their AWARENESS to PRODUCTION. Next is LEVEL 2 AWARE LIBERALS who support PRODUCTION but ONLY in a balanced relation with CONSUMPTION. Thus for example, while TRUMP “OPENS HIS AWARENESS UP TO THE LEVEL 3 FOCUS ON PRODUCTION OF A FANTASTIC RECREATIONAL COMPLEX in that currently occupied area called the GAZA STRIP, the LIBERAL AWARENESS would TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE “CONSUMPTION” of the TRADITIONAL LIVING QUARTERS OF PALESTINIANS.
LEVEL 1 AWARENESS is the AWARENESS OF TRANSFORMATION which WE HAVE DROPPED OUT of our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME by our popular use of BINARY LOGIC, … LOGIC that is TOO SIMPLE to bring forth the AWARENESS of LEVEL 1 TRANSFORMATION. This DROPPING OUT of LEVEL 1 AWARENESS in WESTERN CULTURE GENERALLY, has given rise to a BINARY LOGIC based POLARIZING DIVISION into CONSERVATIVE LEVEL 3 (the simplest) AWARENESS OF ‘GETTING THINGS DONE” (PRODUCTION), AND LEVEL 2 (less simple) AWARENESS OF ‘CONSUMPTION’ (the utilizing of PRODUCTION). SINCE BINARY LOGIC CONSTRAINS AWARENESS TO JUST THE TWO OPPOSITE AWARENESS LEVELS i.e. LEVEL 3 PRODUCTION and LEVEL 2 CONSUMPTION, THERE IS NOTHING BEYOND THIS BINARY SPLIT, NO ‘OPEN SLOT’ for LEVEL 1 AWARENESS of TRANSFORMATION which is the HIGHEST LEVEL OF AWARENESS. LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM IS NEEDED TO TAKE US TO LEVEL 1 TRANSFORMATION.
IN ORDER TO TUNE IN TO THAT HIGHEST LEVEL 1 AWARENESS, one has to UPGRADE from BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM to “QUANTUM” “BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM” wherein the OPPOSITES of LEVEL 3 PRODUCTION and LEVEL 2 CONSUMPTION are RECONCILED WITHIN LEVEL 1 TRANSFORMATION. This RECONCILING OF APPARENTLY OPPOSING CONSERVATIVE PRODUCTION oriented AWARENESS and LIBERAL CONSUMPTION oriented AWARENESS comes with the MODERN PHYSICS understanding that we are living in an ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka a WAVE-FIELD WORLD wherein the composition of what is happening derives from the conjugate relation of PRODUCTION and CONSUMPTION WHICH IS TRANSFORMATION (and NOT, as BINARY LOGIC would have it, PRODUCED MATTER CONSUMED IN EMPTY SPACE).
There is a problem here in the manner in which LANGUAGE informs AWARENESS in that the CONSERVATIVE LEVEL 3 AWARENESS OF PRODUCTION is seen as the POLAR OPPOSITE of the LIBERAL LEVEL 2 AWARENESS OF CONSUMPTION, and that POLARIZATION is manifest in WESTERN CULTURE where BINARY LOGIC dominates in COMMON LANGUAGE USAGE (LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS). AS LONG AS BINARY LOGIC THINKING PREVAILS, THERE IS NO ACCESS, BY WAY OF LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION, TO LEVEL 1 AWARENESS. ACCESS to AWARENESS LEVEL 1 comes with the acknowledging “THE CONJUGATE RELATION THAT RESOLVES THE POLAR OPPOSITION BETWEEEN CONSERVATIVE LEVEL 3 AWARENESS (PRODUCTION) and LIBERAL LEVEL 2 AWARENESS (CONSUMPTION);
We can imagine CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS arguing in the following fashion; [CONSERVATIVE] “WE HAVE PRODUCED A WONDERFUL NEW RECREATIONAL PARK” in the GAZA STRIP, while at the same time the LIBERAL will argue; [LIBERAL] “YOU HAVE CONSUMED AN IMPORTANT AND ESSENTIAL ESTABLISHED ACCOMMODATING RESOURCE FOR PALESTINIANS”.
These are TWO DIFFERENT LEVELS OF AWARENESS ‘that are SPEAKING’ and they are BOTH “TRUE” but as we know from Goedel’s Theorem, ALL FINITE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS ARE INCOMPLETE, so SPEAKING THE TRUTH is ALWAYS INCOMPLETE and thus NEVER ‘TELLING THE FULL STORY’. What happens in cases like this, is that ANGRY FACTIONS DEVELOP AND BECOME POLARIZED AGAINST EACH OTHER because they have POLAR OPPOSITE AWARENESS of what is going on which is CONCRETIZED with BINARY LOGIC.
As with PRODUCTION and CONSUMPTION, these BINARY LOGIC OPPOSITES are mutually resolved in LEVEL 1 AWARENESS of TRANSFORMATION… BUT THIS RESOLVING OF OPPOSITES requires QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, as described here by Vygotsky, who is complaining that WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS WHO ARE USING SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC ARE MISSING, IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, THE LESS SIMPLE REALITY OF TRANSFORMATION (which is BEYOND THE SIMPLE BINARIES OF PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION AND WHICH REQUIRES LESS SIMPLE “QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM” OF “TRANSFORMATION”)
THERE IS THUS A PROBLEM IN OUR WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME DERIVING FROM THE USE OF TOO-SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM, WHERE LESS SIMPLE “QUANTUM” BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM IS REQUIRED. This point is made in the following disagreement between Vygotsky and Piaget where Piaget has supported the traditional but DYSFUNCTIONAL giving of foundational status in linguistic conceptualization to BINARY LOGIC.
Vygotsky observes;
“Though fundamentally different in nature, the development of scientific and spontaneous concepts represents two sides of the same concept formation”
“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
This comes from Vygotsky’s research into THOUGHT and LANGUAGE as discussed in Vygotsky’s; Мышление И Речь, Психологические Исследования – … Myshleniye I Rech’, Psikhologicheskiye Issledovaniya (Thinking and Speech, Psychological Research).
BECOMING AWARE OF OUR LIVING IN A WAVE-FIELD WORLD
0* * * * * * * * * *
PREFACE: WARNING IN REGARD TO THE DUMBED DOWN LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE USING IN OUR STANDARD COMMUNICATIONS. My note is in NORMAL ENGLISH which is often SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC based where, for example, one may say …“the TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods” which captures ONLY the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate without mentioning “the conjugate SHRINKING of the WILDERNESS” which is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate, these conjugates being two sides of the same concept formation; i.e. the WAVE structure. Beyond LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION is OUR HIGHEST LEVEL of AWARENESS of ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMATION (Jantsch’s LEVEL 1 AWARENESS) while LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS can come in EITHER LEVEL 2 “LIBERAL AWARENESS” where we acknowledge BOTH the female accommodating/enabling AND the male asserting/actualizing WAVE-FIELD (conjugate) structure, while LEVEL 3 “CONSERVATIVE” AWARENESS is where we acknowledge ONLY the male asserting/actualizing mechanistic DOER-DEED structure. Our CHOICE of which of these THREE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING “AWARENESS” options to give the FOUNDATIONAL ROLE to in our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING; i.e; (1) TRANSFORMATIVE AWARENESS where everything is in flux, (2), LIBERAL AWARENESS [where, when there is male-asserting/actualizing GROWTH of the TOWN there is CONJUGATE female accommodating/enabling SHRINKING of WILDERNESS] and CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS [where there is SIMPLY one-sided male-asserting GROWTH OF THE TOWN as if transpiring in absolute empty and infinite space].
These three different levels of AWARENESS are infused into our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES; i.e. MODERN PHYSICS along with INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS, TAOISTS/BUDDHISTS and ADVAITA VEDANTA ADHERENTS give the foundational role in AWARENESS-STIMULATING LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING to (1) TRANSFORMATION which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT where everything is in flux; e.g. ‘THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’. AWARENESS LEVEL (2) of LIBERALS give the foundational role in LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING to the androgynous combination of male-asserting/actualizing GROWTH of the TOWN together with acknowledgement of CONJUGATE female accommodating/enabling SHRINKING of WILDERNESS. AWARENESS LEVEL (3) of CONSERVATIVES give the foundational role in LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING to one-sided male asserting/actualizing… FULL STOP. This LIMITED CONSERVATIVE LEVEL 3 AWARENESS is the source of BLINDERED male asserting/actualizing (actions, development and production) taken out of the AWARE context of either the LEVEL 2 conjugate SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS or LEVEL 1 AWARENESS of TRANSFORMATION.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
The language I just used for LEVEL 3 AWARENESS is composed of a POSITIVE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING PROPOSITION which is BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC based which is given a foundational role in NEWTONIAN PHYSICS and also in the “COMMON AVERAGE EUROPEAN LANGUAGE FAMILY” in general. As Benjamin Whorf observes, BINARY LOGIC is a SIMPLE LOGIC that derives from the “COMMON AVERAGE EUROPEAN LANGUAGE FAMILY”, and this BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING is TOO SIMPLE to capture WAVE-FIELD REALITY which requires the LESS SIMPLE “QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM”, for example “There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” . In this BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM construction, EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX and there is NO DEPENDENCY on MATERIAL “BEING” based entities such as “A TOWN” (there is only “TOWNING IN THE FLOWING”). In this QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING scheme, THERE IS NO “BEING” that we can conflate with GRAMMAR to impute to “IT” … “ITS” own POWER of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and development (e.g. its own GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING) as if a ‘BEING’ within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, the use of which is a recipe for FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM (eclipsing and wallpapering over the sense-experience affirmable REALITY of TRANSFORMATION).
In sLINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS based on the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, which is what is used in MODERN PHYSICS, indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, there is NO DEPENDENCY ON BINARY LOGIC and since BINARY LOGIC is the SOURCE of FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM, there is NO FRAGMENTATION nor OBSCURANTISM; e.g; as in our standard WESTERN CULTURE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZINGS, as already stated, we speak in terms such as “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING PRODUCTS whereas when we use QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM in our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZINGS, we speak in terms such as “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” wherein everything is in flux and there is no ‘BEING’.
Throughout this essay entitled BECOMING AWARE OF OUR LIVING IN A WAVE-FIELD WORLD” there is the need to point out the limitations of our COMMONLY USED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING scheme which, for example, imputes the existence of INDEPENDENT BEINGS as if in an empty, infinite space which requires simple BINARY LOGIC whereas the MODERN PHYSICS, indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta understanding of people as strands in the web of life or as CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-ENCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, embody the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING medium make-up; i.e. the STRAND is both ITSELF AND AT THE SAME TIME, THE WEB IT IS INCLUDED IN, and the CONDENSATION is both ITSELF AND AT THE SAME TIME, the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM IT IS INCLUDED IN.
UNLIKE our WESTERN CULTURE BINARY LOGIC standard wherein we see things as LOCAL and EXPLICIT MATERIAL OBJECTS, … in our MODERN PHYSICS, indigenous aboriginal, Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta QUANTUM LOGIC undestanding, we see the readily visible LOCAL and EXPLICIT as SECONDARY CONDENSATIONS of the NON-VISIBLE, NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT WAVE-FIELD. WESTERN CULTURE CONFUSION arises through TOO SIMPLE NEWTONIAN PHYSICS which CONFUSES the LOCAL and EXPLICIT for the PRIMARY REALITY (mistaking the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM [the real PRIMARY REALITY] for EMPTY SPACE and assuming its NON-PARTICIPATION when the REALITY is that SPACE IS NOT EMPTY, IT IS AN ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.
“Space is not empty. It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.” — David Bohm
The reader of this note on BECOMING AWARE OF OUR LIVING IN A WAVE-FIELD WORLD will be informed that wherever BINARY LOGIC is encountered in citations from our standard WESTERN CULTURE conversations, the reader must do the needed upgrading, thus where there is text that says the TOWN IS GROWING” , the reader must upgrade his own LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING to “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”, and where there is discussion of WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE where BINARY LOGIC is used to REWARD GOOD BEINGS and PUNISH BAD BEINGS, the reader must upgrade his LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING to QUANTUM LOGIC based RESTORATIVE JUSTICE where the understanding is that outbreaks of violence derive from NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT relational influences within the social matrix, in which case, the WESTERN CULTURE kneejerk response of MISIDENTIFYING the AUTHORING SOURCE as the LOCAL and EXPLICIT holder of the smoking gun while the community members at large are considered INNOCENT UNLESS PROVEN GUILTY, is a MISTAKE that derives from the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and AND GRAMMAR based (mis)understanding of LOCAL AUTHORING.
* * * * * * END OF PREFACE * * * * * *
In Modern physics understanding, as in the strands-in-the-web and the condensations of the energy-charged plenum, EVERYTHING IS RELATED (interconnected and interdependent) in which case RESTORATIVE JUSTICE MAKES SENSE where the cause of violence is understood as relational dissonance and the remedy is the restoring of relational harmony, … and NOT as in WESTERN CULTURE where the notion of people as INDEPENDENT BEINGS insulated by ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE leads to the MISUNDERSTANDING of VIOLENCE in terms of LOCAL and EXPLICIT AUTHORING when the reality is those manifesting as the AUTHORS of VIOLENCE are in reality CONDUITS for the VENTING of TENSIONS that build with in the community relational matrix, in which case WESTERN CULTURE PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE is a MISTAKE and RESTORATIVE JUSTICE is what is needed.
WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING in general, because it is SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC based, is TOO SIMPLE to capture WAVE-FIELD REALITY. By contrast, the “QUANTUM” BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM capable LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING scheme of MODERN PHYSICS, indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents is capable of ANDROGYNOUS LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING whas associates with , , the two conjugates together capturing the TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE which DEVELOPING and
Where this NOTE is ‘going to’, after setting the stage with a comparison of WESTERN CULTURE philosophy versus INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL and EASTERN CULTURE philosophy, is to the philosophy of Gregory Franklin whereby he has developed a way of living which BRIDGES between these TWO philosophical understandings of reality.
BACKGROUND:
Much has been written about the REALITY that we are included in a WAVE-FIELD WORLD, but because we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have chosen to develop a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING scheme that is based on SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE “EXCLUDED MEDIUM”, we are DIMINISHING OUR “AWARENESS” (the AWARENESS that is shaped by LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS) because the world we actually live in, the world of our SENSE EXPERIENCE of inclusion within it, as linguistically conceptualized through MODERN PHYSICS, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, is a LESS SIMPLE WORLD that demands LESS SIMPLE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING (than that which is grounded in SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGICOF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM) that is capable of supporting LESS SIMPLE BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, which can be called QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC to distinguish it from the SIMPLE but COMMON (in WESTERN CULTURE) BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC.
(QUANTUM) BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM describes the world in the MODERN PHYSICS terms of an all-including ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM within which there are CONDENSATIONS so that we have a relationship akin to WHORLINGS (condensations) IN FLOWING (containing energized flow) where the WHORLINGS are only visually distinguishable flow-features or APPEARANCE based, thus the WHORLING is BOTH itself AND the flowing in which case we CANNOT PHYSICALLY separate the WHORLING from the FLOWING so that the only possible MOVEMENT is TRANSFORMATION because EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX.
(BINARY) EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM describes the world in the NEWTONIAN PHYSICS terms of an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, LOCALLY POPULATED BY MATERIAL OBJECTS, as gives rise to a PSEUDO-REALITY whererein there is EITHER ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE OR ABSOLUTE MATERIAL PRESENCE (BEING). Here we PSYCHOLOGICALLY and LINGUISTICALLY split the WHORLINGS apart from FLOWING using what Nietzsche calls ‘the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR’. For example, when we say ‘the WHORLING IS GROWING LARGER’, we are using the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR to notionally (psychologically) endow the WHORLING with “ITS OWN POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING of ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT” as if within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE. The Rudyard Kipling poem “EAST IS EAST AND WEST IS WEST AND NEVER THE TWAIN SHALL MEET” stems from this just described difference in LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING the world of our sense-experience; i.e. the WESTERN CULTURE NEWTONIAN LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING based on BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM (e.g. THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods as if within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE) and the MODERN PHYSICS, INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL, Taoist/Buddhist and Advaita Vedanta LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING based on QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC (e.g. “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING PLENUM” where the TOWNING is a condensed feature within the TRANSFORMING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM”).
* * *
OUR AWARENESS of the world, which is conditioned by our differing schemes for LINGUISTICALLY CONCEPTUALIZING the world of our SENSE-EXPERIENCE of INCLUSION therein, … is influenced (shaped) by the LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME we use, and we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have historically opted for a SIMPLE, BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING (e.g. “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING, and PRODUCING goods” … FULL STOP), whereas MODERN PHYSICS, INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS, TAOISTS/BUDDHISTS and ADVAITA VEDANTA ADHERENTS all employ a LESS SIMPLE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME which is “QUANTUM” BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM based (e.g. “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”). In this LESS SIMPLE QUANTUM BOTH/AND CONCEPTUALIZATION, we are reporting on the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM which INCLUDES the CONDENSATION, whereas, in the SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC CONCEPTUALIZATION, we report on notional LOCAL and EXPLICIT FORMS (which are BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS.
In this BINARY LOGIC based CONCEPTUALIZATION, there is FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM since the notion of ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE serves as an INSULATOR that keeps separate and independent, the NAMING-INSTANTIATED “MATERIAL OBJECTS” insulated by EMPTY SPACE. This is a manifesting of the DIFFERENTIATING (FRAGMENTING) POWER OF OUR SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION.
The LOCAL and EXPLICIT FRAGMENTS produced by DIFFERENTIATION (which is a psycho-linguistic operation triggered by the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR) sets up the notion of the LOCAL AUTHOR of actions and development, as in the example THE TOWN IS GROWING. This SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC based ABSTRACTION substitutes the SIMPLE LOCAL and EXPLICIT for the LESS SIMPLE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT flow-field dynamic aka the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM wherein FIGURE (local and explicit) and GROUND (nonlocal and implicit) ARE ONLY ONE as in ‘THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’.
Our WESTERN CULTURE BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME FRAGMENTS into LOCAL and EXPLICIT objects, the RELATIONAL CONTINUUM of the QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM (the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD) which is UNBOUNDED in SPACETIME and which is the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT source of ‘MATERIAL’ CONDENSATIONS.

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
What’s Wrong with TRUMP and MUSK? (and ‘what’s wrong with us?’)
0Why bother READING this essay, which looks DIFFICULT? My answer is that this essay EXPLAINS where we have built MISTAKES into our WESTERN CULTURE linguistic conceptualizing scheme which are conjusing us and rendering our actions and interactions confused. For example, we use the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR which enables us to say things (construct linguistic conceptualizations) such as ‘the TOWN is growing’ which is only the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate aspect of what our SENSE-EXPERIENCE is reporting on, which is that THE LANDSCAPE is TRANSFORMING. The TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE included NOT ONLY that “the TOWN is GROWING” which is just the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate of the ANDROGYNOUS dynamic of transformation wherein the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS which opens up in conjugate relation with the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING GROWING of the TOWN. OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION BACKED AWARENESS can OPEN UP to THREE LEVELS of AWARENESS here, only ONE OF WHICH is given MAINSTREAM use in our WESTERN CULTURE common LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING approach; i.e. the one where we speak in terms of ‘the TOWN IS GROWING’ (male asserting/actualizing) without bringing into play our AWARENESS of the conjugate ‘SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS’ that comes together with ‘the GROWING OF THE TOWN’, these two ‘AWARENESSES’ combining with a THIRD LEVE OF AWARENESS to go with the other two. So LEVEL 3 AWARENESS is the GROWTH of the TOWN, the LEVEL 2 AWARENESS is the SHRINKING of the WILDERNESS, and the LEVEL 1 AWARENESS is the TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE.
As Erich Jantsch has pointed out, LEVEL 1 AWARENESS (the LANDSCAPE IS TRANSFORMING) includes LEVEL 2 AWARENESS (the WILDERNESS IS SHRINKING) which included LEVEL 3 AWARENESS (the TOWN IS GROWING). We know that if we speak in LEVEL 3 AWARENESS terms, sayinig ‘the TOWN is GROWING’, this PROPOSITION is INCOMPLETE, and this is an example of Goedel’s Theorem of the INCOMPLETENESS OF ALL FINITE PROPOSITIONS OF LOGIC. That is, while the proposition ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ is “TRUE”, it is INCOMPLETE because it fails to acknowledge the SHRINKING of WILDERNESS and the TRANSFORMING of the LANDSCAPE, and all of these THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS are TRUE IN A LOGICAL SENSE but INCOMPLETE in a SENSE-EXPERIENCE CONTEXT.
We know that when TRUMP says “DRILL BABY DRILL”, he is using language that corresponds to LEVEL 3 AWARENESS wherein, while it may be TRUE that oil may be discovered and produced, there is no mention of the SHRINKING of the underground oil accumulation leading to earthquakes and collapsing of oil-filled porous rocks when the oil is removed. This is LEVEL 3 AWARENESS whereas AWARENESS LEVEL 2 will include cognition of the SHRINKING of the fluid content of the porous rock and AWARENESS LEVEL 1 will acknowledge the TRANSFORMING of the LANDSCAPE as understood from an AWARENESS wherein SUBJECT and OBJECT are ONLY ONE; i.e. where we are AWARE of our INCLUSION in the world that we are looking out at;
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”
But we continue to struggle with a lesser, BINARY LOGIC based form 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.
The whites, too, shall pass – perhaps sooner than other tribes. Continue to contaminate your bed, and you will one night suffocate in your own waste. When the buffalo are all slaughtered, the wild horses all tamed, the secret corners of the forest heavy with the scent of many men, and the view of the ripe hills blotted by the talking wires, where is the thicket? Gone. Where is the eagle? Gone. And what is it to say goodbye to the swift and the hunt? The end of living and the beginning of survival.

READER BEWARE:
“AWARENESS” is a kind of OPENING UP of our SENSES to the WORLD we are included in, and AWARENESS is GRADATIONAL in that it can range from our SENSE OF INCLUSION in the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM to our CROW’S EYE SCRUTINIZING of particular things at a distance which we can FOCUS INTENSELY ON. For example, it was noted during the French Revolution that women observing beheadings on the Guillotine became so transfixed as they watched people getting their heads removed that they became prey for street urchins who would come behind them, lift their skirts and freely grope them without encountering any resistance from the women transfixed by their AWARENESS of the grotesque goings-on.
Erich Jantsch describes THREE DIFFERENT LANGUAGE-SUPPORTED DEPTHS of AWARENESS that range from “MOST AWARE” through “LESS AWARE” to “LEAST AWARE” which we know as CONSERVATIVE (LEAST AWARE), LIBERAL (next to LEAST AWARE) and TRANSFORMATIONAL (most aware), and shows that while MODERN PHYSICS, indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta constitute the MOST AWARE condition, WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZIN tends to be BLOCKED from ACCESSING the MOST AWARE CONDITION due to BELIEF IN LOCAL AUTHORING.
“LOCAL AUTHORING” is ABSTRACTION based on LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION which as Nietzsche points out makes use of the “DOUBLE ERROR” of NAMING and GRAMMAR that DIVIDES PEOPLE INTO TWO OPPOSING, POLARIZED collectives. While the CONSERVATIVE GROUP believes in LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and developments wherein the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING is the primary world dynamic, the LIBERAL GROUP believes in LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and developments in a CONJUGATE combination of FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING together with MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING. For example, while the CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS supports the understanding that the TOWN IS GROWING, the LIBERAL AWARENESS supports the understanding of “THE SHRINKING OF THE WILDERNESS…”TOGETHER WITH” … THE GROWTH OF THE TOWN”. TRUMP’S CONSERVATIVE “DRILL BABY DRILL” exemplifies the use of MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING “PRODUCTION” as if in ITS OWN RIGHT (out of the context of TRANSFORMATION); i.e. within a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME wherein GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION are ‘taken to be’ “REAL” (without, as in the LIBERAL AWARENESS, being seen TOGETHER WITH the conjugates of “SHRINKING of WILDERNESS”, “DEGENERATION of DEVELOPMENT” and “CONSUMPTION of PRODUCTION”).
A WESTERN CULTURE PROBLEM IS THAT LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING OF AWARENESS IS COMMONLY CONSTRAINED to LEVELS 3 and 2 and is “HELD BACK” FROM EVER GETTING TO AWARENESS LEVEL 1 (TRANSFORMATION) BECAUSE OF A PERSISTING POLARIZING CONFLICT between CONSERVATIVES WITH THEIR LOCAL AUTHORING BASED ON MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING AND LIBERALS WITH THEIR LOCAL AUTHORING BASED ON THE COMBINATION OF FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING “AND” MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING.
CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS ARE SO PRE-OCCUPIED WITH PROMOTING and DEFENDING THEIR PREFERRED, RADICALLY DIFFERING “LOCAL AUTHORING” SCHEMES THAT THEY ARE BOTH “BLINDED” TO THE EXISTENCE of the LEVEL 1 AWARENESS which RESOLVES the POLARIZING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AWARENESS LEVELS 3 (CONSERVATIVE) and LEVEL 2 (LIBERAL). For example, while the CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS of “DRILL BABY DRILL” SUPPORTS MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ‘PRODUCTION’ while IGNORING the conjugate FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING, THE LIBERAL ENVIRONMENT-SENSITIVE AWARENESS NOT ONLY ENVISAGES GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION BUT IS ALSO AWARE OF THE CONJUGATE … “SHRINKING of WILDERNESS”, “DEGENERATING of DEVELOPMENT” and “CONSUMPTION of PRODUCTION”. While it is common for CONSERVATIVES to speak in terms of the CONSTRUCTION OF THE TOWN as if this one-sided MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate was MEANINGFUL, the extended LIBERAL AWARENESS which includes the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS is also ‘taken into account’, and this constitutes an EXPANDED LIBERAL AWARENESS (which is getting close to acknowledging the overall TRANSFORMING of the the LANDSCAPE) as compared to the LIMITED CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS.
Suppose that LIBERALS were NOT using LANGUAGE that supported the ‘DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR’ based (ego-inflated) ‘LOCAL AUTHORING’ of actions and developments but were instead on the same AWARENESS LEVEL as Chief Seattle where the AUTHORING is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT as in TRANSFORMATION that we all share inclusion in? This is the understanding that is supported by MODERN PHYSICS and by AWARENESS such as; 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 .
In this LEVEL 1 TRANSFORMATIONAL AWARENESS, WE BECOME ONE WITH THE WORLD. That is, our LEVEL 1 LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME shifts from employing a “BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM” basis of MATERIAL FORMS in ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE to a QUANTUM “BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM” basis of MATERIAL CONDENSATIONS in the all-including ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM (transforming relational continuum). In LEVEL 1 AWARENESS, there is NO LONGER ANY BINARY LOGIC splitting into MATTER and SPACE as prevails in AWARENESS LEVELS 3 (CONSERVATIVE) and AWARENESS LEVEL 2 (LIBERAL) and there is ONLY ONE THING, i.e. the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM in which material forms are “SCHAUMKOMMEN” (appearance), in the manner of WHORLINGS in FLOWING where the WHORLINGS are NOT SEPARATE THINGS but part of the APPEARANCE of FLOWING. As Schroedinger points out;
“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.

NOW I NEED TO TIE SOME LOOSE ENDS TOGETHER WHICH BELONG TOGETHER and which have BECOME SEPARATED DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS “REMAIN STUCK WITH THE HABITUAL USE OF A TOO-SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME” WHICH is the SOURCE OF FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM.
THE MISTAKEN (“DOUBLE ERROR” based) BELIEF IN “LOCAL AUTHORING” ON THE PART OF WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS has led to the POLARIZING SPLIT INTO CONSERVATIVE AND LIBERAL FACTIONS.
THE REALITY IS that NEITHER THE CONSERVATIVE NOR LIBERAL MODES OF LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING ‘WORK’ BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH DEPENDENT ON TOO-SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC. The POLARIZED CONFLICT between CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS has meanwhile DIVIDED the WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL COLLECTIVE which has become so PRE-OCCUPIED with POLITICAL OPPOSITION that the POINT IS BEING MISSED that their DISAGREEMENT DERIVES FROM THEIR GIVING A FOUNDATIONAL ROLE TO TOO-SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC IN THEIR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEMES.
The TOO-SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME OF THE CONSERVATIVE FACTION comes from the use of ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING as in ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’ while the LESS SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME of the LIBERAL FACTION comes from an evolving acknowledgement of our INTERCONNECTEDNESS and INTERDEPENDENCE (Note that while INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS (as well as MODERN PHYSICS) understand this INTERCONNECTEDNESS and INTERDEPENDENCE to be THE BASIC REALITY as in “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.”, the WESTERN CULTURE PRACTICE, encouraged by WHATEVER CONCEPTUALIZATIONS WE BUILD INTO OUR LANGUAGE, continues to support INDEPENDENT BEING which is MOST PRONOUNCED in CONSERVATIVE politics while IN LIBERAL POLITICS, is giving way to AWARENESS of INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE by way our inclusion in a common ENVIRONMENT (note: one can imagine this continuing shift in WESTERN CULTURE CONCEPTUALIZING as an ongoing acknowledgement of the importance of the environment we are evidently included in which is most evident in LIBERALISM while CONSERVATIVES persist in supporting the full abstraction of MATERIAL HUMAN BEINGS IN EMPTY INFINITE SPACE as persists in our linguistich conceptualizing scheme).
Already in the 1970s numerous studies of legislative voting on environmental measures, both in the U.S. Congress and in a number of state administrations, found conservative legislators to have significantly lower pro-environmental voting records than their liberal colleagues (see Kamieniecki 1995 and the references therein). This tendency has not changed since but rather, the cleavage between liberals and conservatives on environmental issues has grown substantially in the past decades (Dunlap, Xiao, and McCright 2001). For example, a number of current studies, especially on the topic of climate change, find in general that liberals show higher levels of environmental concern than conservatives (Wood and Vedlitz, 2007; McCright and Dunlap, 2010, 2011b).—The politics of environmental concern: A cross-national analysis, Raphael J Nawrotzki
THE HOLD UP in our move to less simple QUANTUM (BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM) from simple BINARY (EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM) is the DEEP ENTRENCHEMENT in our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING of the ABSOLUTE DIVISION between MATTER and “EMPTY SPACE” and since we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS continue to employ BINARY LOGIC based LANGUAGE such as ‘the TOWN is GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods’ which exemplifies the ABSTRACTION of LOCAL AUTHORING by way of NAMING and GRAMMAR, we PERPETUATE OUR OWN ENTRAPMENT in TOO-SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING.
MODERN PHYSICS has meanwhile ENDORSED THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ARE ALL INCLUDED AS CONDENSATIONS IN THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM which is an ENDORSEMENT of Chief Seattle’s observation; … “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.”
FINALIZING THIS “READER BEWARE” COMMENT: In this “READER BEWARE” comment, I am trying to encourage the reader’s cognizance of the fact that this language I am using is TOO SIMPLE to convey what I would like to convey. I am in the same plight as Lao Tzu when he wrote “The Tao that can be told is NOT THE TRUE TAO”.
I AM TRYING TO AROUSE THE (LEVEL 1) CORE OF YOUR (the READER’S) AWARENESS to SHARE LEVEL 1 AWARENESS based UNDERSTANDING and this is, in WESTERN CULTURE DIALOGUE, DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE because ONCE ONE PROCESSES LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS and brings them onboard into AWARENESS LEVEL 3 or AWARENESS LEVEL 2, there NO LONGER EXISTS any LOCAL AWARENESS LEVEL 1 CONTENT. One might express this in the terms that while AWARENESS LEVEL 1 is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT, AWARENESS LEVELS 2 and 3 are alternative forms of LOCAL and EXPLICIT expression (e.g. SOLAR IRRADIANCE THAT IS NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT INDUCES the EMERGENCE of (A) HURRICANE DYNAMICS that stir up the ATMOSPHERE, or (B) ATMOSPHERIC DYNAMICS that stir up HURRICANES. If we FORGET about the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT TRANSFORMATIVE origin of what is going on here, we may DIVIDE INTO TWO OPPOSING GROUPS, A CONSERVATIVE GROUP CONTENDING THAT THE HURRICANE IS STIRRING UP THE ATMOSPHERE and a LIBERAL GROUP CONTENDING THAT THE ATMOSPHERE IS STIRRING UP THE HURRICANE [note that these propositions are both LOCAL and EXPLICIT and there is no mention of the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT TRANSFORMATIVE origin of what is going on here.]
ONCE we break the AWARENESS down into 3 different categories whereby Chief Seattle’s AWARENESS is understood as the HIGHEST LEVEL 1 AWARENESS, we can understand LEVEL 2 AWARENESS and LEVEL 3 AWARENESS as LESSER (INCOMPLETE) AWARENESS LEVELS and thus we have the tools to understand the ARTIFICIALITY of the POLARIZING DISAGREEMENT between supporters of LEVEL 3 (CONSERVATIVE) and LEVEL 2 (LIBERAL) AWARENESS in which case, IT IS A WASTE OF TIME to participate in ARGUMENTS AS TO WHICH IS CORRECT, LEVEL 3 AWARENESS or LEVEL 2 AWARENESS, because NEITHER IS “CORRECT” and what is CONFUSING is that BOTH CAN BE TRUE due to Goedel’s Theorem of INCOMPLETENESS of all FINITE LOGICAL PROPOSITION.
The LEVEL 3 CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS GIVEN BY EITHER/OR PROPOSITION such as ‘the TOWN is GROWING’ may be TRUE but they are INCOMPLETE in that they are LOCAL and EXPLICIT TRUTHS.
The LEVEL 2 LIBERAL AWARENESS GIVEN by EITHER/OR PROPOSITIONS such as ‘the TOWN is GROWING and the WILDERNESS is SHRINKING’ may be TRUE but they are INCOMPLETE in that they are LOCAL and EXPLICIT TRUTHS.
The LEVEL 1 TRANSFORMATIVE AWARENESS GIVEN by BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM as given by; ‘There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ is beyond the simple BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM ‘reality’ based on that which is LOCAL and EXPLICIT, and is instead the less simple QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM reality based on that which is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT. That is, ‘There is TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE’ is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT and our INCLUSION THEREIN is in the same ‘QUANTUM BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM’ relational sense as the CONDENSATION of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.
SO, THE KEY POINT IN FINALIZING THIS “READER BEWARE” COMMENT”: is that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have access to THREE LEVELS of AWARENESS; the CONSERVATIVE, LIBERAL and TRANSFORMATIONAL LEVELS OF AWARENESS and that the LOWER TWO LEVELS OF AWARENESS; i.e. the LEVEL 3 CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS and the LEVEL 2 LIBERAL AWARENESS ARE BOTH CONSTRAINED TO THE CONSTRUCTIONS that are LOCAL and EXPLICIT and thus BINARY LOGIC based, and only the LEVEL 1 AWARENESS is an AWARENESS of the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT.
WESTERN CULTURE, by using LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING that supports both LEVEL 3 AWARENESS and LEVEL 2 AWARENESS sets the stage for UNRESOLVABLE CONFLICT between CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL AWARENESS LEVELS, BOTH OF WHICH ARE LOCAL AND EXPLICIT ORIENTED BUT WHICH DIFFER IN THAT; “in general liberals show higher levels of environmental concern than conservatives”
FOR ANYONE TO SHOW CONCERNS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND AN ASSOCIATED NEED TO “TAKE BETTER CARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT”, THE INFERENCE IS THE BINARY LOGIC based view wherein THEY DO NOT CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE ‘INCLUDED’ IN AN ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM AS UNDERSTOOD IN MODERN PHYSICS; 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
THE ‘BOTTOM LINE’ IS THAT THERE ARE NO ‘LOCAL AUTHORS’ of actions and development (all action is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT) in which case the BASIS for DIFFERENCES in policies and views of CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS DO NOT EXIST.
Our judgement has us conclude that every change must have an author”;–but this conclusion is already mythology: it separates that which effects from the effecting. If I say “lightning flashes,” I have posited the flash once as an activity and a second time as a subject, and thus added to the event a being that is not one with the event but is rather fixed, “is” and does not “become.”–To regard an event as an “effecting,” and this as being, that is the double error, or interpretation, of which we are guilty.” – Nietzsche, ‘Will to Power’, 531
END OF: “READER BEWARE” COMMENT:

ABSTRACT: ALL MATERIAL FORMS, INCLUDING OURSELVES ARE CONDENSATIONS OF THE ALL-INCLUDING, TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka “ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM” aka “WAVE-FIELD”. Our WESTERN CULTURE has developed a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME that is based on the ABSTRACTIONS of “LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL BEING BASED ENTITIES” and “ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE CONTAINING SPACE”, while MODERN PHYSICS along with INDIGENENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURES, TAOISM/BUDDHISM and ADVAITA VEDANTA have developed a FLOW-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME THAT ACKNOWLEDGES our INCLUSION in the ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.
The TITLE ; “What’s Wrong with TRUMP and MUSK? (and ‘what’s wrong with us?’) draws attention to the fact that our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING scheme ‘works’ by CONSTRUCTING A SIMPLIFIED PSEUDO-REALITY using the ABSTRACTIONS of NAMING-INSTANTIATED, LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL BODIES with NOTIONAL (GRAMMAR-GIVEN) POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING of ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS.
This constitutes a SUBSTITUTE PSEUDO-REALITY based on FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM (the transforming plenum is dropped out and ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE is SUBSTITUTED, which constitutes the REMOVAL of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING (wave-field) conjugate TOGETHER WITH THE ‘PROMOTING’ OF THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate as the LOCAL AUTHORING SOURCE).
Thus, instead of the TRANSFORMATION based understanding wherein, for example, “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”, WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING substitutes “THE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods” (that’s all that is spoken of in the CONSERVATIVE version of linguistic conceptualizing of reality), and (as is included in the LIBERAL version of linguistic conceptualizing of reality) “AND there is a CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS”.
What we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are thus doing with our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING scheme is that we are giving ourselves what Erich Jantsch refers to as THREE LEVELS OF AWARENESS that we can BRING FORTH WITH LANGUAGE in our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING; i.e. THE FULLY AWARE TRANSFORMATION based understanding which is LEVEL ONE AWARENESS , (e.g. THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” ) or, we may BRING FORTH in our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, the LESS AWARE LIBERAL based undestanding which is LEVEL TWO AWARENESS, (e.g. the TOWN is GROWING AND there is a conjugate SHRINKING of WILDERNESS) or, we may BRING FORTH in our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING the LEAST AWARE CONSERVATIVE based understanding which is LEVEL THREE AWARENESS (e.g. the the TOWN IS GROWING … full stop).
* * *
For indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta adherents, there is a tradition of grounding understanding in LEVEL ONE AWARENESS which acknowledges INCLUSION IN THE ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM wherein EVERYTHING IS RELATED (mitakuye oyasin).
For WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, the common belief in LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and developments, which Nietzsche has pointed out DERIVES FROM THE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR, is the source of LEVEL 3 CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS, and LEVEL 2 LIBERAL AWARENESS. BOTH LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES endorse the ERROR of LOCAL AUTHORING and while CONSERVATIVES (e.g. DONALD TRUMP and ELON MUSK) succumb to the SIMPLE AWARENESS LEVEL 3 based on MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING e.g. “OUR OPERATIONS ARE GROWING” , … LIBERALS (e.g. JOE BIDEN) succumb to the LESS SIMPLE AWARENESS LEVEL 2 based on MALE-ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING … and conjugate … FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING.
Whatever we do in the sense of our MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING, there is at the same time, a CONJUGATE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING that comes with it (for example, WITH THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONSTRUCTION OF THE TOWN COMES THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING opening up by way of the SHRINKING of WILDERNESS).
WE ARE FAMILIAR with how CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS POLARIZE HERE in that TRUMP’S ‘DRILL BABY DRILL’ is exemplary of one-sided, “ALL MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING” while DROPPING OUT any ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the conjugate “FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING” (the changes in the land assocated with extraction). This CONSERVATIVE focus on MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING DRILLING and PRODUCTION while IGNORING the conjugate FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING collapse of depleted oil and gas reservoirs, loss of clear air from oil and gas combustion products, distinguishes the CONSERVATIVE from the LIBERAL APPROACH. The CONSERVATIVE LEVEL 3 AWARENESS based focus on GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION of hydrocarbons (DRILL BABY DRILL), is a one-sided MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING approach that is MISSING LEVEL 2 LIBERAL AWARENESS of the need for balancing the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING with FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING SHRINKING, DEGENERATIING and CONSUMING.
The CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS LEVEL 3 IGNORING of an important part of what is actually happening i.e. the ignoring that there is a FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate (such as ‘the WILDERNESS IS SHRINKING’) together with the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING GROWTH OF CONSTRUCTION, IS NOT THE CASE WITH LIBERALS due to their LEVEL 2 AWARENESS. This DIFFERENCE in CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL AWARENESS LEVELS is the source of POLARIZING CONFLICT wherein WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL COLLECTIVES SPLIT into POLARIZED CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL FACTIONS.
THIS SPLIT INTO POLARIZED CONSERVATIVE AND LIBERAL FACTIONS DERIVES FROM THE EGO-based BELIEF IN LOCAL AUTHORING.
LOCAL AUTHORING DOES NOT EXIST IN OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED REALITY.
LOCAL AUTHORING IS ABSTRACTION DERIVING FROM THE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING and GRAMMAR (Nietzsche)
THE CONSERVATIVE – LIBERAL SPLIT IS A BOGUS LOCAL AUTHORING BASED DIVISION THAT WAS MOCKED BY JONATHAN SWIFT IN HIS DEPICTION of TORIES and WHIGS as Brobdignabmians and Lilliputians in GULLIVER’S TRAVELS. SWIFT exposured their polarizing differences as being equivalent to an argument over which was the PROPER END of a boiled egg to make entry; i.e. the ROUNDY END OR THE POINTY END.
Today’s version of this POINTLESS DIVISION in WESTERN CULTURE social collectives, into CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS is based on whether LOCAL AUTHORING should be understood in a (ONE-TO-MANY; “one bad apple spoils the barrel”) context (CONSERVATIVE) or in a (MANY-TO-ONE; “it takes a whole community to raise a child”) CONTEXT.
WAIT A MINUTE! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “LOCAL AUTHORING” since we share inclusion in a TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX. As Nietzsche has pointed out, “LOCAL AUTHORING” is a “DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR”.
As in Jonathan Swift’s GULLIVERS TRAVELS SATIRE, the SPLIT into CONSERVATIVES and LIBERALS is based on the BOGUS, EGOTISTICAL BELIEF IN “LOCAL AUTHORING” of actions and development. As MODERN PHYSICS affirms, as also indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists and Advaita Vedanta, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “LOCAL AUTHORING” of actions and developments. The indigenous aboriginal “HEALING CIRCLE” acknowledges, as MODERN PHYSICS also acknowledges that the dynamics we share inclusion in as CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM, are NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “LOCAL AUTHORING”, THUS THERE IS NO BASIS FOR THE AWARENESS LEVEL 3 and 2 CONSERVATIVE – LIBERAL CONFLICT, but there is instead a LEVEL 1 AWARENESS of our INCLUSION in the ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.

The CONFLICTING “GEOMETRY” OF CONSERVATIVE AND LIBERAL AWARENESS, the HISTORICAL TREND

A recent historical example of the POLARIZED DISGREEMENT BETWEEN “LIBERAL AWARENESS” and “CONSERVATIVE AWARENESS”
For example, nine years ago (this note was written on December 25th, 2011), on the first anniversary of 9/11, CBC interviewer Peter Mansbridge asked then Prime Minister (Canada) Jean Chrétien:
“By the end of the day [9/11], what were you thinking about in terms of how the world had changed?”, and Chrétien replied:
“… it is a division in the world that is building up. And I knew that it was the inspiration of it. For me, I think that the rest of the world a bit too selfish, and that there is a lot of resentment…. You know, the poor, relatively, get poorer all the time. And the rich are getting richer all the time. … You know, you cannot exercise your powers to the point of humiliation for the others. And that is what the Western world, not only the Americans, the Western world has to realize, because they are human beings too, and there are long-term consequences if you don’t look hard at the reality in 10 or 20 or 30 years from now.”
Although an Ipso-Reid poll found that 84 percent of Canadians believed the United States was at least partly responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks, and although Senator Douglas Roche commented;
“This was a very perceptive comment [Jean Chrétien’s]. It was waiting to be said–needed to be said. It was something that many of us have been saying for a long time. Any anti-terrorism policy has to be seen within the totality of economic and social conditions that are the obvious spawning ground of this desperate activity.”
There was an uproar, particular in the United States where people accused Chrétien of ‘making excuses for terrorists’ and in Canada, …
“Canadian Alliance leader Stephen Harper called on Chrétien to apologize to the U.S. and to the families of Canadians killed in the attacks. “(His) comments, particularly coming on the anniversary of Sept. 11, blaming the victim are shameful,” Harper charged. “What was behind the events of Sept. 11 are the forces of evil and hatred…. These must be resisted by free and democratic societies and their leaders.”
This split between the views of Jean Chrétien and Stephen Harper exemplifies the POLARIZING DIVISION in ‘AWARENESS’ that is manifest in CONSERVATIVE – LIBERAL POLITICS that persists in WESTERN CULTURE GENERALLY. ARE WE NOT INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT STRANDS IN THE ALL-INCLUDING WEB OF LIFE as in indigenous aboriginal (AND MODERN PHYSICS) understanding and as also in Modern physics; “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
“It is the face of our own shadow that glowers at us across the Iron Curtain.” – Carl Jung
As Jung points out, Primitive man (and he might have included indigenous aboriginals with their ‘mitakuye oyasin’ (everything is related) belief did FALL INTO THE WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTALIZATION SUPPORTED TRAP OF THE SELF-OTHER SPLIT;
To him (primitive man) the world is a more or less fluid phenomenon within the stream of his own fantasy, where subject and object are undifferentiated and in a state of mutual interpenetration.” – Carl Jung<‘mark>
BUT THE HARSH, BINARY VIEWPOINT of THE CONSERVATIVE as in Stephen Harper’s comment is VERY FAMILIAR TO ME, in the context of SIMPLE BINARY SCIENCE that Jung also pints his finger at because WESTERN CULTURE MAINSTREAM SCIENCE (Newtonian) FRAGMENTS THE REALITY CONTINUUM, SPLITTING APART FIGURE AND GROUND and giving us what we call THE OBJECTIVE VIEW in which WE ARE UNINVOLVED. As Nietzsche points out, this FRAGMENTATION is SYNTHETIC being based on the DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR that INVENTS “THE LOCAL AUTHOR”;
Our judgement has us conclude that every change must have an author”;–but this conclusion is already mythology: it separates that which effects from the effecting. If I say “lightning flashes,” I have posited the flash once as an activity and a second time as a subject, and thus added to the event a being that is not one with the event but is rather fixed, “is” and does not “become.”–To regard an event as an “effecting,” and this as being, that is the double error, or interpretation, of which we are guilty.” – Nietzsche, ‘Will to Power’, 531
With this WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING TECHNIQUE OF FRAGMENTATION, …. we no longer have to solve the PROBLEM of UNDERSTANDING an ALL-INCLUDING WORLD in which WE OURSELVES are included, but WE CAN PLAY THE GAME OF BEING VOYEURS of a DETACHED PSEUDO-REALITY where we become JUDGEMENTAL OBSERVERS of “WHAT THOSE INDEPENDENT OTHERS ARE DOING”.
This LINGUISTIC SYNTHETIC DETACHMENT has led us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS to develop a PURIFICATIONIST SYSTEM OF JUSTICE based on IDENTIFYING AND REMOVING/DISABLING the notional “LOCAL AUTHOR” of DISTURBANCE to the STATUS QUO (even if that “LOCAL AUTHOR” is the AUTHOR of REBALANCING in an UNBALANCED RICH and POOR social collective’ aka a ‘ROBIN HOOD’).
