TWO MINUTE REALITY CHECK
Author’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 MAIN “TAKE-AWAY” IS THAT WE NEED NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM IN PLACE OF OUR POPULAR WESTERN CULTURE (TOO-SIMPLE) BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM. WHY? BECAUSE THE NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT (WAVE-FIELD) MEDIUM IS EVERYTHING AND BINARY LOGIC ‘DROPS IT OUT’ AND SUBSTITUTES ABSOLUTE EMPTY, INFINITE SPACE as BACKDROP for the LOCAL and EXPLICIT Schaumkommen (APPEARANCE).
“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)
“What we observe as material bodies & forces are nothing but shapes & variations in the structure of space. Particles are just schaumkommen. … Subject & 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 Schrodinger)
THE “STRANDS-IN-THE-WEB” RELATIONSHIP IS NONBINARY LOGIC BASED, i.e. the STRANDS-IN-THE-WEB manifest THE BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM. This BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM also describes the MATERIAL FORM which is a CONDENSATION of the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.
* * * * * * *
ARE WE READY TO SHIFT TO A LESS SIMPLE LANGUAGE THAT IS NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM BASED such as the indigenous aborignal languages and MODERN PHYSICS, and thus ESCAPE THE FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are generating in our social dynamic by our use of TOO-SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED (empty space) MEDIUM?
IS TRUMP READY? IS BIDEN READY? OUR READINESS will be EVIDENT IF AND WHEN WE CONCEDE THAT THERE ARE NO ‘INDEPENDENT NATIONS’, since that is ABSTRACTION based on the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR and the REALITY IS, INSTEAD, that EVERYTHING IS RELATED AS WITH STRANDS IN A WEB AND/OR CONDENSATIONS IN AN ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD. The DAMAGE resulting from the MISTAKEN SUPPORT for the ABSTRACTION OF THE ‘INDEPENDENT NATION’ is CONTINUING to RISE ON A GLOBAL BASIS as social collectives, based on BELIEF IN THEIR INDEPENDENCE, PURSUE THE GOAL OF SUBOPTIMIZING THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THEIR “QUOTE UNQUOTE” “INDEPENDENT NATION” IN A WORLD THAT IS INTRINSICALLY INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT, where INDEPENDENCE is DELUSION secured by EGO and simple BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC DECEPTION.
