Author’s Preface:

My view is that in order to understand how CRAZY-MAKING cognitive assumptions are screwing up our WESTERN CULTURE psyche’s, we need to address UPFRONT, Nietzsche’s  (and other’s) critique of ‘reason’; i.e.

“Reason” in language!—oh what a deceptive old witch it has been! I fear we shall never be rid of God, so long as we still believe in grammar.  — Nietzsche

What is going on here is that we are falling into a trap described by Goedel’s Theorem of the incompleteness of all finite systems of logic.

If we reflect on this, we find that this is very relevant to the FIRE BURNS conundrum wherein we use such simple DOUBLE ERROR language and grammar constructions to reduce the INEFFABLE-because-NONLOCAL understanding of reality to the EFFABLE-because-LOCAL understanding.

In other words, we understand from our sensory experiencing of the seasons and multi-year cycles (warm years and cool years) that we are included in something bigger than we can get outside of and look down and in on, an experience of inclusion that is impossible to describe in VOYEUR visualizing terms (i.e. DOUBLE ERROR terms) of NAMING instantiated local things-in-themselves (FIRST ERROR) with their own GRAMMAR given actions and developments [SECOND ERROR].

The Goedel’s theorem problem of incompleteness shows up right there in ‘FIRE BURNS’ and ‘LIGHTNING FLASHES’ and ‘COVID 19 KILLS’.  These are all one-sided (incomplete) positive propositions that lack the complexity needed to capture TRANSFORMATION.  TRANSFORMATION cannot be captured in terms of LOCAL SOURCING as is the make-up of the logical propositions ‘FIRE BURNS’, ‘LIGHTNING FLASHES’ and ‘COVID 19 KILLS’.

We could therefore say that simple logic, the EITHER/OR logic of the EXCLUDED medium (where FIGURE and GROUND are TWO) is the type of logic that is exposed in the Goedel’s theorem sense is where the ‘incompleteness’ comes in. For example, we can use this logic to say that we are GROWING the farm land we have under cultivation, but this says nothing about the SHRINKAGE of the Wilderness lands that is reciprocal to the GROWTH of the cultivated lands.

What’s going on here?  Evidently language and grammar don’t care about whether we are living on a flat plane of infinite extent, in which case there would be no SHRINKAGE of WILDERNESS lands in reciprocal proportion to the GROWTH of CULTIVATED LAND, such reciprocal interdependence being characteristic of spherical space but not FLAT-SPACE.  In other words, there is no such thing as GROWTH without assuming an absolute containing space to house that GROWTH and since there is no such thing as an absolute containing space, there is no such thing as GROWTH.  There is only TRANSFORMATION.

But we are not dependent on simple EITHER/OR binary logic of the EXCLUDED medium where FIGURE and GROUND are TWO…  for figuring out how ‘reality’ works, we also have ‘quantum logic’ aka ‘the BOTH/AND logic of the INCLUDED medium(where FIGURE and GROUND are ONE, as in the boil in the flow).  The FIGURE and GROUND as ONE reality is otherwise known as NONLOCALITY and what is NONLOCAL is INEFFABLE as in the overall environmental desiccating in the persisting summer cycle of thermal field intensification.  Where is the warming coming from? Answer: — from a gathering and scattering that is aptly described as NONLOCAL as is the basic nature of the Wave-field.

The LOCAL outbreaks of FIRE are secondary symptoms of ongoing NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION which, because it is NONLOCAL, is INEFFABLE.  Here we come to the ‘logical error’ of the man who searches under the streetlight for the watch he has lost on a dark section of the street because ‘the search conditions are better there’.  That is, we can be EXPLICIT in expressing our finding from inquiry into LOCAL phenomena such as FIRE BURNS while TRANSFORMATION is NONLOCAL (implicit) and resists capture in LOCAL (explicit) terms.  That’s too bad because TRANSFORMATION is the fundamental dynamic and it is NONLOCAL while LOCAL dynamics are secondary IMPRESSIONS (e.g. ‘DUNING’ is a NONLOCAL resonance [Wave-field] phenomenon while the LOCAL DUNE’s movement and development is a secondary IMPRESSION that is given persisting thing-in-itself status in our intellectual-linguistic REPRESENTATIONS by the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR).

Our WESTERN CULTURE constraining of our REPRESENTATIONS of reality to terms of LOCAL things-in-themselves with notional powers of SOURCING actions and developments complements the Goedel’s Theorem INCOMPLETENESS associated with EITHER/OR logic of the EXCLUDED medium.  That is, the INCOMPLETENESS of simple logic allows us to say FIRE BURNS without mention of the reciprocal loss of NON-BURNED Wilderness which is the conjugate aspect of the one dynamic of TRANSFORMATION.   The topological relations associated with spherical surfaces do not reduce to one-sided positive logic as implied by FIRE BURNS, or by the GROWTH of the BURNED AREA.  In spherical space, there is always the conjugate UNBURNED area that is SHRINKING as the burned area is GROWING, the overall effect being TRANSFORMATION of the overall spherical space.  Sure, it is LOGICALLY true that the BURNED AREA GROWS in size but to capture REALITY, we must admit that this logic is INCOMPLETE without acknowledging at the same time, the SHRINKAGE of UNBURNED AREA.  This requires the BOTH/AND logic of the INCLUDED medium wherein FIGURE and GROUND are ONE.   More BURNED FIGURE means reciprocally Less UNBURNED GROUND.

We may describe in great detail our cultivating of land and what means for us; i.e. it provides food and sustenance and employment etc.  … but what meaning, as far as ‘reality’ is concerned, can that have without addressing the reciprocal loss of Wilderness lands and the impact on the overall TRANSFORMATION?  Evidently, our talk of GROWTH as if it were a LOCAL phenomenon is unreal abstraction that confuses our understanding of reality.

The real world dynamic of our sensory experience is NONLOCAL and thus INEFFABLE while the expedient (DOUBLE ERROR based) reduction to EFFABLE is LOCAL.   The WESTERN CULTURE issue is that this reductive tool is running away with the workman, the human (effable) with the divine (ineffable).  Among EASTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, the reduction remains a ‘tool of inference’ of the ineffable reality that lies beyond the effable so that such reductions are not taken literally, while we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are accepting DOUBLE ERROR reductions, LITERALLY, as our operative REPRESENTATION of reality.  This is a CRAZY-MAKER!

 

* * * * * * * * *

 

The DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR gives rise to the concept of a LOCAL SOURCING AGENCY in REALITY REPRESENTATION.  While valid only as a tool of INFERENCE (as used in the EAST), the DOUBLE ERROR is misused in the WEST in being employed as a DIRECT REALITY SURROGATE.

‘NAMING’ (the first part of the TWO-PART DOUBLE ERROR) allows us, together with GRAMMAR (the second part of the TWO-PART DOUBLE ERROR), to drive an abstract fixed/local stake-in-the-ground-of the transforming relational continuum (the Wave-field aka the Tao) which is the reality of our sensory experience prior to ‘opening our mouths.  Without ‘NAMING’ to establish a local jumping off point, everything is in flux.  That is the reality of our actual sensory experience and because we are included in this flux, reality is NOT OUT THERE in front of us, as would be capturable in terms of visual REPRESENTATION.  For example, ‘DUNING’ is a Wave-field resonance phenomenon that can include us so that we could be incorporated (and fossilized) within, so no amount of detail in the description of ‘a dune’ is going to capture BEING INDUNED.

NAMING and GRAMMAR, the DOUBLE ERROR combo, … allows us to construct REPRESENTATIONS that feature notional THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES, notionally with powers of SOURCING actions and developments.

Understanding (the essence of Goedel’s Theorem) is not, in my view, some esoteric philosophical undertaking since it speaks to why WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENCE is a CRAZY-MAKER.  Goedel’s theorem implications crop up in Nietzsche’s philosophical explorations as ’the DOUBLE ERROR’ where we say things like ‘FIRE BURNS’ to construct the concept of LOCAL, an abstraction that we then allow to ‘over-ride’ in our language and grammar constructions of reality, the sensory-experience reality of NONLOCALITY; i.e. the sensory experience of our inclusion in the transforming relational continuum.

While the DOUBLE ERROR reduction of the NONLOCAL to the LOCAL is a useful tool that ‘effable-izes’ the ‘ineffable’ (the all-including Wave-field aka the Tao), it cannot be overlooked that such effeble-izing comes at the expense of a a BASIC REDUCTION IN ESSENTIAL MEANING.  Instead of reality being the ineffable-because-NONLOCAL flow we share inclusion in, … effable-izing reduction delivers representations in terms of LOCAL NAMING-instantiated things-in-themselves, with GRAMMAR-given notional powers of sourcing actions and developments.   That is, instead of the NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION of our sensory experience, the DOUBLE ERROR language and grammar reduction delivers abstract REPRESENTATION in terms of NAMING instantiated ‘things-in-themselves’ with GRAMAMR instantiated powers of SOURCING actions and developments.

This DOUBLE ERROR reduction is a useful TOOL that, as Emerson point out, has ‘run away with the workman’ (the WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENT ‘workman’).  This is where EGO comes in, in the sense that the DOUBLE ERROR imputes to NAMING-instantiated ‘(notional) things-in-themselves’, powers of sourcing actions and LOCALLY SOUCING actions and developments.

Is IMMERSION in WESTERN CULTURE driving YOU crazy?

Are you one of the 2-4% of WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS who falls into the category termed ‘Bipolar Disorder’ or ‘Schizophrenic’?

This note explains how this 2-4% are just those who are unable to give themselves up to EITHER the conservative mindset OR the liberal mindset, such splitting into polarized factions being considered NORMAL among WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, and thus defining ABNORMALITY in terms of being unable throw oneself body and soul into EITHER of those two BINARY OPPOSITE POLAR DIVISIONS, and in effect, EMBODYING THE SPLIT rather than opting for one or the other.  This is kind of like building one’s home over top of the San Andreas fault, rather than, like the majority, opting for one side or the other.

THE POINT HERE IS THAT ALL THREE CATEGOREIS ARE FORMS OF CRAZINESS which split WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS into the three camps of CONSERVATIVE, LIBERAL (who live on either side of the ‘fault’ respectively, and BIPOLAR/SCHIZOPHRENIC who effectively EMBODY the split.  Note that the CONSERVATIVE – LIBERAL split is JUST AS CRAZY as the embodied split within the individual ‘with SCHIZOPHRENIA or BIPOLAR DISORDER’, it’s just that GROUPS OF CRAZIES NORMALIZE THEIR ABNORMALITY by conforming to a common ABNORMALITY.  In fact, we would do better to GROUND the term NORMAL with respect to NATURE and speak of NATURALITY and ABNATURALITY in which case WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS who are “NORMAL” are predominantly ABNATURAL.

SO, … WHAT IS THE NATURE OF the SPLIT within the WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENT social collective and why does it manifest in the ‘CONSERVATIVE-LIBERAL POLAR DIVISION’ but not in the EAST?  (The EAST is a term that is often associated with indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, which do no not split off into CONSERVATIVE and LIBERAL polar opposite camps.

The IMPOSTER of GROWTH that OBSCURES TRANSFORMATION

Why do we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS speak of ‘reality’ in the abstract terms of GROWTH instead of in terms of relational TRANSFORMATION?

In the indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoism, Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, REALITY, the WORLD OF OUR SENSORY EXPERIENCE, IS … THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka “TRANSFORMATION” aka ‘the Wave-field’ aka ‘the Tao’.

This TRANSFORMATION includes everything, hence ‘mitakuye oyasin’ (we are all related).

There is a sensible answer to this question; i.e. TRANSFORMATION is INEFFABLE, so in order to speak about it and share our experiences (or some reduced semblances thereof) through language and grammar, language and grammar must come up with EFFABLE REDUCTIONS of the INEFFABLE transforming relational continuum.

The DOUBLE ERROR lies at the heart of this reducing of the INEFFABLE TRANSFORMATION and its fluid forms via EFFABLE REDUCTION that is in terms of NAMING-instantiated LOCAL THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES, notionally with THEIR own powers of SOURCING actions and developments.

TRANSFORMATION versus the DOUBLE ERROR

As a person raised in WESTERN CULTURE, I am NOW only too aware of having been taught to regard the DOUBLE ERROR of language and grammar as having the capability of capturing REALITY.

I now see that this as DELUSIONAL even if such BELIEF in the REALITY of notional NAMING-instantiated things-in-themselves with GRAMMAR-instantiated powers of SOURCING actions and developments IS WESTERN CULTURE “NORMALITY”.

Personally, I BELIEVE that the DOUBLE ERROR based pseudo-REALITY is MISLEADING ABSTRACTION when confused for REALITY that we then use to shape our behavioral actions and developments.   For example, we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, thanks to the DOUBLE ERROR of language and grammar, commonly believe that the felling of trees and milling them into lumber and using them to construct homes, IS SOMETHING REAL and we even refer to such actions as IMPROVEMENTS to the land, and assign value to such ‘improvements’ as becomes part of our social ‘economy’.

We are in fact PROUD of such ‘constructive achievements’ and encourage our children to ‘TAKE PRIDE’ in similar ‘improvements “that we make to the land’, … ‘improvements’ ‘authored’ by WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS such as ourselves that have been described as ‘suboptimization’ by systems theorists, since our ‘constructive achievements’ do not improve things from for the animals and other members of our interedependent ecosystems with whom we share inclusion in the all-including TRANSFORMING relational continuum.

Does Disease REALLY Spread by Contact?

INTRODUCTION: This note briefly explores the problematic concept of PATHOGEN, pointing to how the ‘thin skull rule’ that holds the identified PATHOGEN or CRIMINAL fully and solely responsible for destructive consequences of conflict, may be erroneously stripping the phenomena under investigation of its INEFFABLE content.  For example if a hot summer has desiccated the vegetation and TRANSFORMED it into an ‘incendiary bomb waiting to go off’, the ‘thin skull rule’ will assign causal responsibility to the logger whose chain saw sparked a forest fire.  Reflection shows that what is being obscured and replaced by LOCAL abstraction here is the REALITY of NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION (i.e. the INEFFABLE).

We say that we have the power to ‘construct a house’ and/or ‘destroy a house’ (isn’t language great, it lets our imagination construct all kinds of ‘imagined realities’), but TRANSFORMATION is the REAL REALITY and WE ARE INCLUDED WITHIN IT.  So, this habit we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have, of claiming to have powers of CONSTRUCTION and DESTRUCTION is just abstraction coming from the DOUBLE ERROR of language and grammar.  We say that ‘we construct houses’ but if we look around, there are ‘bald patches’ in the forest where we have removed trees for lumber and there are large holes in the ground where we have taken sand and gravel for concrete foundations so “CONSTRUCTION” IS AN IMPOSSIBLE ABSTRACTION THAT IMPLIES “LOCAL” INSTANTIATION (this is easy to do with the abstracting power of language and grammar) WHERE WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IS RELATIONAL “TRANSFORMATION” which is NONLOCAL and INEFFABLE and we are INCLUDED WITHIN IT.  It is called ‘the Tao’ by some and the ‘Wave-field’ by others, terms that refer to the transforming relational continuum.

So, ‘CONSTRUCTION’ AND ‘DESTRUCTION’ ARE ABSTRACTIONS PIVOTING FROM THE ABSTRACT NOTION OF LOCAL THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES, language based abstractions that are part of THE INTELLECTUAL REPRESENTATIONAL TECHNIQUE OF SUBSTITUTING NAME-INSTANTIATED  LOCAL THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES WITH NOTIONAL POWERS OF SOURCING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS (all of this being done by means of language and grammar), for the sensory experience of inclusion in NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION which is INEFFABLE-BECAUSE-NONLOCAL.   In other words, ‘CONSTRUCTION’ and ‘DESTRUCTION’ are mutually supporting ‘PROPS’ that BACKHANDEDLY IMPLY THE “EXISTENCE” OF SOME NAMING-INSTANTIATED THING-IN-ITSELF.  In this manner, the transforming relational continuum, which has no place for ‘things-in-themselves’, is set aside (mentally) so that this NEW WORLD of LOCAL THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES can take over as the OPERATIVE REALITY.  If we suspend our delivery of language-based representations with their reason-based grammatical constructions, our intuitive, sensory experience of inclusion in TRANSFORMATION (aka the Tao) based understanding will once again become the operative reality, and the binary concepts of CONSTRUCTION and DESTRUCTION will ‘recede into the darkness’ where ABSTRACTION lives as a kind of BRIGHTNESS of that which “IS” opposite to the DARKNESS of that which “IS NOT”.

CONSTRUCTION and DESTRUCTION are language-and-grammar born ABSTRACT BINARY REDUCTIONS OF RELATIONAL TRANSFORMATION WHEREBY THE NONLOCAL (INEFFABLE) IS REDUCED TO THE LOCAL (EFFABLE).  While ‘the EAST’ and modern physics employ the abstract binary concepts of CONSTRUCTION and DESTRUCTION merely as EFFABLE INFERENCE of the INEFFABLE REALITY (the Wave-field, the Tao) that lies INNATELY BEYOND the reach of LANGUAGE AND GRAMMAR, we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have fallen into the habit of regarding the lOCAL and EFFABLE as REALITY, and this is a CRAZY-MAKER!

With this ‘background’ in hand, questions associated with COVID 19 can be explored for possible answers.

* * *

 

The following Question is Explored.  Could our common off-the-cuff answer prove to be prejudicial to our health?

DOES DISEASE “REALLY” SPREAD BY CONTACT?

The common WESTERN CULTURE SCHOOLED answer to this is YES, it can be spread by contact.

BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN, REALLY?

We could follow this up with a probability-oriented question; i.e. ‘What is the probability of CONTRACTING AN ILLNESS THROUGH “CONTACT” WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS THE ILLNESS?

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS INQUIRY?

The point (my intended point) is not to do with the literal content of the question and answer, but with the underlying, unstated, implicit assumptions used in formulating the question; i.e.

-1- An ‘illness’ is something that an ‘individual’ can ‘have’.

-2- An ‘illness’ can be ‘passed’ from one person to another by ‘close contact’.

-3- an ‘illness’ can ‘spread’ though a social collective through ‘close contact’.

DISCUSSION:

This concept of a ‘disease’ as a LOCAL PATHOLOGY caused by a PATHOGEN that can be passed from one person (a notional INDEPENDENTLY-EXISTING-THING-IN-ITSELF) to another person (a notional INDEPENDENTLY-EXISTING-THING-IN-ITSELF) is implicit in statements 1-3 above.

The PATHOGEN model we (WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS) commonly employ is a very idealized/abstract.  If I pop a balloon, making a loud bang, and a nearby war vet with PTSD goes ballistic creating a lot of ‘collateral damage’, including another death, who is to blame?  The war vet with PTSD is like a bomb primed for detonation that is not fussy about the ‘source’ of its detonation.

This stuff happens in real life, as we know and it ‘blurs’ what we refer to as ‘cause-and-effect’ aka the ‘producer-product’ dynamic’.

In this era of COVID 19 ‘infections’, our assumptions as to ‘causal relations’ seem in need of review.

Why Reduce Transformation to Production-and-Consumption?

AUTHOR’s PROLOGUE:

Reality is “ineffable” because it is our experience of inclusion in the TRANSFORMING relational continuum aka ‘the Wave-field’ aka ‘the Tao’.

‘WE’, in this case referring to EASTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS and WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, use language and grammar in DOUBLE ERROR reductions that REDUCE the NONLOCAL (and therefore ineffable) TRANSFORMING relational continuum to the EFFABLE CONSUMPTION-PRODUCTION DYNAMIC.   The DOUBLE ERROR works as follows;

The FIRST ERROR is NAMING to impress on the intellect the notional LOCAL existence of a THING-IN-ITSELF, and we conflate this FIRST ERROR with a SECOND ERROR of GRAMMAR whereby we impute to the NAMING-instantiated  LOCAL thing-in-itself the power of SOURCING actions and developments.

This philosophical investigation shows how EAST and WEST SPLIT into polar opposite camps of understanding REALITY and how the DOUBLE ERROR plays a key role in this; i.e.

The EAST employs the DOUBLE ERROR reduction-to-effable only as INFERENCE of a ‘reality’ that is ineffable and which lies beyond the DOUBLE ERROR reduction.  In this understanding, CONSUMPTION and PRODUCTION are metaphors that support the abstract concept of a LOCAL thing-in-itself that CONSUMES energy to PRODUCE PRODUCTS.  In this EASTERN understanding, THERE IS NO ACTUAL ORGANISM that INGESTS/CONSUMES and EXCRETES/PRODUCES.  That is, ‘CONSUMPTION’ and ‘PRODUCTION’ is abstraction that effable-izes and LOCALIZES what is in reality NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION (the Wave-field dynamic aka ‘the Tao’).

The WEST employs the DOUBLE ERROR reduction-to-effable as if this were the operative reality.  In this understanding, CONSUMPTION and PRODUCTION are more than just ‘metaphors’, they are held to be ‘real processes’ that support the REAL concept of a LOCAL thing-in-itself that CONSUMES energy to PRODUCE PRODUCTS.  In this WESTERN understanding, THERE IS AN ACTUAL ORGANISM that INGESTS/CONSUMES and EXCRETES/PRODUCES.  That is, ‘CONSUMPTION’ and ‘PRODUCTION’ are held to be REAL dynamics that effable-ize and LOCALIZE the dynamics of nature.  The ‘ORGANISM’ aka the ‘ORGANIZATION’ is the ABSTRACT INFERENCE of the DOUBLE ERROR REDUCTION that SUBSTITUTES and removes from play, NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION (the Wave-field dynamic aka ‘the Tao’).

IN SHORT, the concepts of ‘ORGANISMS’  and CONSUMPTION and PRODUCTION are UNREAL ABSTRACTIONS that serve, within the abstract mechanics of language and grammar, as the basis of a mechanistic representation of reality that is accepted in the WEST, but not in the EAST nor in modern physics.

* * * END OF AUTHOR’S PROLOGUE * * *

 

Our use of language and grammar to reduce TRANSFORMATION to PRODUCTION-and-CONSUMPTION is to substitute something EFFABLE-because-LOCAL for something INEFFABLE-because-NONLOCAL.

The ‘production’ and ‘consumption’ of oil and gas associates with TRANSFORMATION of the relational space we share inclusion in.  The ground collapses where we extract oil and gas from subsurface accumulations, the atmosphere turns dark and sooty from the combustion products of the oil and gas we burn, …. so, …  are the terms PRODUCTION and CONSUMPTION referring to anything REAL?

If we see ourselves as local PRODUCER-OF-PRODUCT MACHINES that consume FOOD and excrete WASTE, then the FOCUS is ON US as if we were INDEPENDENT THINGS-IN-OURSELVES WITH-OUR OWN POWERS OF SOURCING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS.

But this is abstraction as Nietzsche points out; i.e. the PRODUCER-of-PRODUCT is an intellectual conceptual impression that comes from THE DOUBLE ERROR of language and grammar.  The FIRST ERROR is NAMING to impress on the intellect the notional LOCAL existence of a THING-IN-ITSELF, and we conflate this FIRST ERROR with a SECOND ERROR of GRAMMAR whereby we impute to the NAMING-instantiated LOCAL thing-in-itself the power of SOURCING actions and developments.   With this DOUBLE ERROR of language and grammar we have the capability of stimulating intellectual abstractions that are LOCAL in nature, such as are inferred by aphorisms such as “FIRE BURNS”.

Are PATHOGENS ‘REAL’? … or is COVID 19 a CRAZY-MAKER?

ARE WE READY TO “GET REAL”?  Is COVID 19 a CRAZY-MAKER?

Where do we get this abstract concept of a PATHOGEN from?

The concept of a PATHOGEN is a binary LOCALIZING-IN-SPACE-AND-TIME concept of the same ilk as the intellectual abstraction that comes with “FIRE BURNS” (or “PATHOGENS KILL”).  It is the sort of concept that is needed to ‘effable-ize’ the ineffable fluid relational reality that we and everything is included in (i.e. the Wave-field aka ‘the Tao’).

This LOCALIZING IN SPACE AND TIME IS EXPERIENCED AS EGO.  EGO is the archetype for the PRODUCER-PRODUCT abstraction that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS employ to articulate relational development.   Just as “FIRE BURNS” imputes LOCAL SOURCING of actions and developments, so does the PRODUCER-PRODUCT abstraction.   This construct is a DOUBLE ERROR, as Nietzsche points out (the FIRST ERROR is NAMING (e.g. FIRE) to impute LOCAL thing-in-itself BEING, and the SECOND ERROR, which conflates the first, is GRAMMAR (‘BURNS’) that imputes the power of SOURCING actions and developments to the NAMING-instantiated thing-in-itself, …. and it is this DOUBLE ERROR of language and grammar that puts into our intellectualizing minds, the notion of jumpstart LOCAL-IN-SPACE-AND-TIME SOURCING of actions and developments.

EGO builds from this DOUBLE ERROR, as does the PATHOGEN concept and its opposite; the ‘BENOGEN’.

But this language-and-grammar injection into the intellect of notional LOCAL-in-space-and-time SOURCING of actions and developments is THE TOOL THAT CRACKS THE INEFFABILITY BARRIER that we face in trying to articulate our sensory experience of inclusion in the NONLOCAL dynamic aka the Wave-field aka the Tao.

This reduction of the ineffable to something effable by way of the DOUBLE ERROR is where Emerson’s talk of ‘the tool runs away with the workman, the human (LOCAL) with the Divine (NONLOCAL)” comes from; i.e. being ONE WITH EVERYTHING (included in the NONLOCAL) as in being included in the Wave-field (the indigenous aboriginal GREAT MYSTERY) is what is being referred to as ‘the Divine’.

IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT “THE PATHOGEN” AND “EGO” COME FROM THE SAME DOUBLE ERROR LOCAL-IN-SPACE-AND-TIME SOURCING.  By believing in one’s own (the NAMING-instantiated agent’s)  DOUBLE ERROR powers of sourcing CONSTRUCTIVE actions and developments, we open the door to believing in one’s own (the NAMING instantiated agent’s) DOUBLE ERROR powers of sourcing DESTRUCTIVE actions and developments.

Transformation and the Implicate and Explicate Order

I have been asked the question; Why belabor my objections to our common use of the PATHOGEN model when it comes up with the same ‘distancing’ strategy as you are getting to with your ‘modern physics’ based (relational) interpretation of what’s up with COVID 19?

My point is that ‘going along with’ the abstract concept of a PATHOGEN distorts our understanding of ‘reality’ so that it ‘departs’ from our sensory experience of inclusion in the transforming relational continuum.

There is ‘nothing new’ here; i.e. what I am talking about is that reality is better understood, as Schroedinger puts it, in terms that SUBJECT AND OBJECT ARE ONE.   I agree with that view and it is also affirmed by David Bohm in his works and in his endorsement of the indigenous aboriginal understanding of reality, which also gives understanding wherein FIGURE and GROUND are ONE, rather than TWO, as in our common WESTERN CULTURE belief system.

Nietzsche is of the same understanding and points out that it is the DOUBLE ERROR of language and grammar that puts this FIGURE-AND-GROUND-AS-TWO abstraction into our minds; the FIRST ERROR is ‘NAMING’ which imputes LOCAL thing-in-itself BEING to a relational form (all forms are relational in the FIGURE-AND-GROUND-AS-ONE understanding of reality), while the SECOND ERROR is GRAMMAR that imputes the power of SOURCING actions and development to the NAMING-instantiated LOCAL thing-in-itself.

This DOUBLE ERROR plays a foundational role in our language and grammar based representations of reality.  That is; the Wave-field aka ‘the Tao’ is NONLOCAL and beyond the representational capability of language and grammar; or, in Lao Tzu’s words; ‘The Tao that can be told is not the true Tao’.

TRANSFORMATION

* * * NOTE: -THIS PREAMBLE ‘POINTS TO THE INEFFABLE HEART’ OF TRANSFORMATION * * *

This exploration of TRANSFORMATION points to our need (as identified by Bohm, Schroedinger and Nietzsche) to comprehend reality by way of ‘quantum logic’; i.e. the “BOTH/AND logic of the INCLUDED medium” wherein FIGURE and GROUND are ONE (i.e. for example, we can think of  HURRICANING as an APPEARANCE within FLOW and NOT as “a thing-in-itself HURRICANE” notionally with ‘its own powers of action and development, as associates with Classical “EITHER/OR logic of the EXCLUDED medium” wherein FIGURE and GROUND are TWO.  Because our ‘normal language’ makes use of EITHER/OR logic of the EXCLUDED medium, instead of our intellect ‘seeing things’ like ‘HURRICANINGS’ or ‘HUMANINGS’ as APPEARANCES (holographic) within the flow (i.e. within the Wave-field aka ‘the Tao’), our intellect INSTEAD sees them in ‘DOUBLE ERROR’ language and grammar terms.  The FIRST ERROR is ‘NAMING’ to impute LOCAL thing-in-itself being while the SECOND ERROR is ‘GRAMMAR’ that conflates the first error by imputing the power of SOURCING actions and developments to the NAMING-instantiated thing-in-itself.  Instead of understanding that there is HUMANING in the Wave-field (the Tao), the DOUBLE ERROR uses NAMING to construct ‘the HUMAN’ and conflates this with GRAMMAR that imputes to the ‘HUMAN’ the (notional) powers of LOCAL SOURCING of actions and developments.

This DOUBLE ERROR ploy is where we SIDE-STEP the inherent NONLOCALITY of our Wave-field reality and establish an artificial LOCAL SOURCING of actions and developments.  This is a ‘useful tool’ for ‘effable-izing’ the ineffable used by both EAST and WEST but in the WEST, we have allowed this tool to ‘run away with us’; i.e. to define ourselves as LOCAL things-in-ourselves with “our own powers of sourcing actions and developments”.  In the EAST, as in modern physics, this tool (“Wittgenstein’s ladder” aka BOOTSTRAPPING is used ONLY FOR INFERENCE of the INEFFABLE NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION that lies innately beyond reductions to EFFABLE LOCAL SOURCING.  For example, “HURRICANING” is an ‘appearance’ wherein FIGURE AND GROUND ARE ONE TRANSFORMING UNUM, where THERE IS NO “FIGURE AND GROUND ARE TWO” situation featuring a notional LOCAL THING-IN-ITSELF (“HURRICANE”) WITH ITS OWN POWERS OF SOURCING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS as we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are in the habit of factoring into our ‘reality constructions’.  TRANSFORMATION is the REALITY, and it is ineffable.  The DOUBLE ERROR reduction is an effable-izing tool.

FALLOUT OF TRANSFORMATION BASED UNDERSTANDING OF REALITY INCLUDES: —–There are no PATHOGENS.  PATHOLOGY is a DOUBLE ERROR based LOCAL-SOURCING abstraction.  There is only relational harmony/dissonance in a FIGURE-AND-GROUND-AS-ONE sense.

EXPRESSIONS LIKE ‘FIRE BURNS’ AND ‘PATHOGENS KILL’ AND ‘HEROS ARE VICTORS’ are DOUBLE ERROR based abstractions that obscure understanding in terms of TRANSFORMATION.  COMPARE the PATHOGEN model of FIRE and DOVID 19 to TRANSFORMATION.  In a forest fire understood as TRANSFORMATION, the pine needles will TRANSFORM first and if it is a lone pine, the TRANSFORMATION may go no further, but if several pine trees flare up together, the combined intensity of the TRANSFORMATION may garner new and more powerful impetus by igniting the woody substance of the branches and not just the needles unleashing a deeper TRANSFORMATION, and exposing the innate deficiency of the (LOCAL SOURCING) PATHOGEN model of FIRE BURNS as compared with  NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION of the material substance which includes the solar irradiance based dessicating of grass, plants, forest and all, TRANSFORMING them into explosive material ready to be detonated, a TRANSFORMATION that goes without mention is the LOCAL abstraction ‘FIRE BURNS’.

COVID 19 as in the abstract concept of LOCAL PATHOGEN does not exist but relational ‘dissonance’ as develops within TRANSFORMATION exists and it can spread like ‘wildfire’ spreads, not as given with the DOUBLE ERROR “LOCAL SOURCING” basis of “FIRE BURNS” but as given by FIGURE-and-GROUND-as-ONE “TRANSFORMATION”.

* * *  END OF KEYSTONE POINT PREAMBLE * * *

 

TRANSFORMATION is INEFFABLE (it is everywhere at the same time).  It is something we RE-PRESENT (in reduced-to-effable form) with the GEOMETRY of FIGURE-AND-GROUND-AS-TWO SEPARATE ONTOLOGIES.  However, in our intuition-accessible Wave-field understanding of reality pointed to by modern physics, and by the Tao, FIGURE AND GROUND ARE ONE.

Our ‘separating’ of FIGURE and GROUND, as in geometry, is a REPRESENTATION facilitating TOOL which makes use of the DOUBLE ERROR of language and grammar;

The FIRST ERROR is NAMING to impute to a relational form its own LOCAL thing-in-itself being, and we conflate this with the SECOND ERROR which is GRAMMAR that imputes to the NAMING instantiated thing-in-itself, the power of SOURCING actions and developments.

These two language-based abstractions make GEOMETRICAL REPRESENTATION possible.

As Poincaré observes, the reduction of the transforming relational continuum to geometric and their mechanics is ABSTRACTION THAT WE IMPOSE ON REALITY in order to effable-ize the ineffable Wave-field or Tao;

“Finally, our Euclidean geometry is itself only a sort of convention of language; mechanical facts might be enunciated with reference to a non-Euclidean space which would be a guide less convenient than, but just as legitimate as, our ordinary space ; the enunciation would thus become much more complicated, but it would remain possible. Thus absolute space, absolute time, geometry itself, are not conditions which impose themselves on mechanics ; all these things are no more antecedent to mechanics than the French language is logically antecedent to the verities one expresses in French.” – Henri Poincare, Science and Hypothesis
