PREFACE:  While our language has a long history of development, some of its features that have been built in to effect simplification or convenience, even though they may ‘drop out information’, are taken for granted.  In the case in question, the abstract BINARY LOGIC concept of REASON has been SUBSTITUTED fro the sense-experience concept of BALANCE.  This is the equivalent of SUBSTITUTING SPACE THAT IS FLAT (Euclidean) for the SPACE OF OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE which is SPHERICAL.   This SUBSTITUTION has us THINKING in terms of GROWTH instead of in terms of TRANSFORMATION or in other words REASON instead of BALANCE.  SO, we may REASON that we can DOUBLE or TREBLE the acreage we have under cultivation, as if that “MAKES SENSE” while the indigenous aboriginal may interject,

‘NO, THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE because the reality is that every increase in your cultivated land is, at the same time, a conjugate reduction of WILDERNESS DIVERSITY, so that what you are about to do constitutes TRANSFORMATION and not GROWTH.  GROWTH is an ABSTRACTION that only happens in the WHITE MAN’S MATHEMATICAL SPACE which is empty and infinite, unlike the space of our natural SENSE-EXPERIENCE wherein our FEELING of BALANCE gives us GUIDANCE.  Your reliance on the intellectual abstractions of REASON based on RATIO, in place of our sense-experience of BALANCE, is encouraging the FOLLY of SUBSTITUTING the MALE concept of GROWTH for the CONJUGATE MALE-FEMALE understanding of TRANSFORMATION.

The above pseudo dialogue between an indigenous aboriginal and a WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENT points to the habitual language based REDUCTION of SPHERICAL SPACE understanding to FLAT (Euclidean) SPACE understanding wherein sense-experience BALANCE is being traded out for the intellectual abstraction of REASON aka RATIO.   This LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE FACILITATED TRADE-OUT SUBSTITUTES the MALE concept of GROWTH for the FEMALE-MALE conjugate of TRANSFORMATION.  This gives us a language architecture that allows us to model reality in the abstract BINARY LOGIC terms of GROWTH (the ‘thing-that-grows does so in a notional abstract empty space) in place of our sense-experience understanding in QUANTUM LOGIC terms of BALANCE where the “GROWING TOWN” and the conjugate “SHRINKING WILDERNESS” are acknowledged as ONE TRANSFORMING UNITY.

The WESTERN CULTURE language architecture achieves SIMPLIFICATION by way of a REDUCTION that removes the FEMALE aspect (BALANCE is thus reduced to RATIO), leaving us with a MALE-only SUBSTITUTE REALITY, wherein we have simply DROPPED OUT the FEMALE conjugate thus REDUCING TRANSFORMATION TO GROWTH.  With this SIMPLIFICATION achieved by the DROPPING OUT of the FEMALE conjugate (henceforth the unmentioned DEA ABSCONDITA) the groundwork is laid down for SUBSTITUTE REALITY constructions in one-sided MALE-ONE terms of RATIO based GROWTH.  While our sense experience reality REMAINS CONSCIOUS of inclusion in the full FEMALE-MALE conjugate dynamic of TRANSFORMATION, our intellectual language-based constructions of reality, we SWITCH OVER to the MALE ONLY “FLAT-SPACE” SUBSTITUTE REALITY where we can fashion representations that capture the imputed “GROWTH” of cultivated lands WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING the FEMALE conjugate SHRINKAGE of WILDERNESS.

What we “SEE” in our “MIND’S EYE” are language-induced IMPRESSIONS such as the notional “GROWTH OF THE TOWN” like pancake batter poured onto and spreading out on the flat griddle, ‘washing out’ in our mind the thoughts of Lao Tzu (“know the male but keep the role of the female”) where the FEMALE is that WHOLENESS that is accommodating the MALE intrusion, this FEMALE-MALE conjugate dynamic being the sense-experience affirmed reality where the FEMALE WILDERNESS opens up to accommodate “MALE GROWTH” of the “CULTIVATED”.  As parents, we naturally cultivate and open up an interesting space for our child’s development and while language permits us to represent the child’s development in a one-sided SUBSTITUTE REALITY framing that DROPS OUT the FEMALE inductive shaping influence of a development-inspiring space, presenting only a one-sided MALE-ASSERTIVE representation in the DOUBLE ERROR (NAMING and GRAMMAR) terms of GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT, the unmentioned FEMALE conjugate is the predominating inductive developing agency.  The including, accommodating WILDERNESS is the FEMALE conjugate that makes possible the talk in terms of the MALE conjugate of GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT, underscoring how INCOMPLETE the imagery is, of GROWTH of the TOWN in terms of pancake batter spreading out on the flat surface of the griddle.  When the WILDERNESS is acknowledged, we may envisage it as the FEMALE that is opening herself up to not simply ACCOMMODATE the MALE ‘GROWTH” but to NURTURE such development, all within the natural QUANTUM LOGIC of relational BALANCE. It is BINARY LOGIC that we use to engineer the REDUCTION of BALANCE to REASON with its one-sided MALE-ONLY propositions which are innately INCOMPLETE as Goedel’s Theorem reminds us.

The DIFFERENCE between BALANCE and REASON.

Indigenous aboriginal children BUT NOT OUR WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS’ CHILDREN, are taught the importance of BALANCE while we teach our children the importance of REASON.

BALANCE is a SPHERICAL SPACE concept and if we were painting a sphere with TWO colours (e.g. RED and GREEN), regardless of the shapes of the splotches, we would have a sense of BALANCE as to how much of the one relative to the other we were putting on.

RATIO , otherwise known as REASON or RATIONALITY is a FLAT SPACE concept that is BASIC to WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE based REPRESENTATION.   If we wanted to paint a flat space with TWO COLOURS (e.g. RED and GREEN we could measure the AREA of RED and put on an EQUAL AREA of GREEN.

Notice that our MEASURING Of the respective areas of RED and GREEN in the FLAT SPACE would give us RATIO but NOT the sense of BALANCE.

For example, if we were painting a RED AREA and GREEN area on a FLAT SPACE, we would have an INFINITY of ways to paint equal amounts of RED and GREEN.  For example, we could just continue increasing the area of RED and matching it by increasing the area of GREEN so that they were always EQUAL.

BUT, in painting the SPHERICAL SPACE, we can see that the RED and GREEN must “COOPERATE” since they are bound up in a CONJUGATE RELATION and they are no longer INDEPENDENT as they were in the FLAT SPACE.

SOMETHING NEW makes its way into the reality and it is “BALANCE” which gives us a sense of MOVING TOWARDS SOMETHING of MOVEING AWAY FROM SOMETHING (i.e. BALANCE) and this was NOT PRESENT in the FLAT SPACE.

The INTERESTING ASPECT HERE is that this sense of BALANCE IS SOMETHING BIGGER THAN ONESELF so BALANCE can steer us TOWARDS IT or AWAY FROM IT (towards IMBALANCE).

BALANCE is something WE ARE INCLUDED IN and that can GUIDE our actions in that we can say we are IN BALANCE our OUT of BALANCE which can guide our continuing actions.

We can sense when we are approaching and reaching BALANCE.  For example, this FEELING OF BALANCE which is the CONJUGATE feeling as when MALE and FEMALE ‘make the BEAST with TWO BACKS” (Othello).

The SPHERICAL SPACE concept of BALANCE is MORE THAN (i.e. TRANSCENDS) the FLATSPACE notion of there being equal amounts of opposites (RED and GREEN, or BLACK and WHITE) … “BROUGHT TOGETHER” because there can be understood in the sense of TWO DIFFERENT THINGS or TWO OPPOSITE THINGS coming together as ONE even though they are SEPARATE and even OPPOSITE (as in red and green or as in black and white)

THE POINT IS THAT BALANCE, as is available to us in the case of the SPHERICAL SPACE is something outside of ourselves that can guide us.   In the case of the FLAT SPACE, our actions are ONE-SIDED and EXCLUSIVELY OUR OWN, and there is NO CONJUGATE PUSH-BACK that is telling us THIS IS NOW ENOUGH BECAUSE WE ARE REACHING THE BALANCE POINT.

One might say that in the case of the SPHERICAL SPACE, we have a relationship with that space and it INFORMS US ON THE ISSUE OF “BALANCE”,  That is, WE ARE INFORMED on the basis of this PECULIAR SENSE OF “BALANCE” so that WE CAN BACK OFF as we approach the BALANCE POINT, … this is information coming to us from OUTSIDE of our own REASON.  If we were painting on a flat space, we have ONLY OURSELVES to ask the question, should I lay down some more paint or not.  I can always arrange to keep an equal RATIO of RED and GREEN on this FLAT SPACE.   WE ARE ALONE “ON OUR OWN” here in this FLAT SPACE reality and one might say that we can only concern ourselves with MALE ASSERTIVE ACTION, whereas, in the SPHERICAL SPACE, we are working with an INVISIBLE FEMALE PARTNER that is informing us by way of a sense of BALANCE which can GUIDE OUR ACTION from the outside-in.  There is a PUSH-BACK HERE and we can hear a voice from the outside of us saying OH NO! THAT IS TOO MUCH!, … or, MORE PLEASE, I NEED MORE!  This “VOICE” it is the voice of “BALANCE”

BALANCE is a VOICE FROM OUTSIDE OF OURSELVES that tells us when to FALL BACK or PUSH FORWARD.

REASON is something else.  REASON is based on RATIO which is ONE-SIDED and it tells us what to do if we want to DOUBLE the areas of the RED and GREEN we have laid down in the FLAT SPACE and this REASON based action is all ENTIRELY UP TO US and we are not getting any advice from an invisible FEMALE CONJUGATE such as “OH NO, THAT IS TOO MUCH” or “MORE PLEASE, I NEED MORE” … because sense of ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTIVE ONLY ACTION is the way things work in a FLAT EUCLIDEAN SPACE, a notional EMPTY SPACE of INFINITE EXTENT like the space we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are taught to understand from an early age.  We are taught REASON which is based on RATIO where our understanding is that if we can make $2,000. for raising one acre of beans, we can make $4,000. for raising two acres of beans.

This is NOT the CONIUNCTIO OPPOSITORUM of making the beast with two backs, it is more like the male having sex with a loaf of bread that is fully accommodating and without the BALANCING dynamic.

REASON is our WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENT ‘popular way’ of managing our representations of reality. BALANCE is NOWHERE TO BE FOUND IN REASON.   We can reason that if we keep doubling the land we are cultivating, we will keep doubling our agricultural production.  REASONING or RATIONALITY is the FLAT SPACE way on thinking.

MEANWHILE, our indigenous aboriginal neighbor is teaching her children the story of the THREE SISTERS, beans, squash and corn, and how important it is to keep things in BALANCE, the DIVERSITY contributing to a flourishing and sustainability that is synergistic, involving SUN, EARTH, AIR, WATER working together.

Seen in this light, REASON aka RATIONALITY is a kind of DUMBING DOWN by removing the natural appreciation of BALANCE involving multiple participants.

IN THIS FOLLOWING QUOTE FROM NIETZSCHE, WE ARE GOING TO SEE AN “ATTACK” ON OUR “CRAZY-MAKING HABIT” OF “TRUSTING IN RATIO AKA REASON’ IN WHICH CASE WE ARE BYPASSING AND IGNORING OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE GROUNDING IN “BALANCE”

“Nothing indeed has exercised a more simple power of persuasion hitherto than the error of Being, as it was formulated by the Eleatics for instance: in its favour are every word and every sentence that we utter!—Even the opponents of the Eleatics succumbed to the seductive powers of their concept of Being. Among others there was Democritus in his discovery of the atom. “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, “Twilight of the Idols, or, How to Philosophize with a Hammer”

“GOD” IN THIS CONTEXT, IS THE “ABSOLUTE BINARY DIVIDING INTO POLAR OPPOSIT4ES” (HEAVEN AND HELL, GOOD AND EVIL) …. WHICH MEANS “ABANDONING” (SETTING ASIDE AND IGNORING), “BALANCE” WHICH IS THE “QUANTUM LOGIC” ALTERNATIVE  to the “MUCH SIMPLER” BINARY LOGIC BASED ABSTRACTION OF “RATIO” OR “REASON” FROM WHENCE WE GET THE BINARIES OF “EITHER” right “OR” wrong, and in the case of “BEING”, that which “EITHER” is “OR” is not.

LET’S NOT FORGET, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “BEING” in a world in flux; i.e. in the transforming relational continuum aka the WAVE-FIELD aka the Tao.

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE THAT WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF IS THAT OUR WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE HAS GIVEN A FOUNDATIONAL ROLE TO “BEING”, WHICH BRINGS ALONG WITH IT ITS COHORT “REASON”,  …. and don’t we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS “SIMPLY LOVE” REASON where we can calculate on the basis of RATIO that we MAKE A PROFIT of $5,000 on cultivating 2 acres of land, our REASONING tells us that we can RATIO UP TO DOUBLE that to a PROFIT OF $10,000 by cultivating 4 acres of land.  AS WE CAN SEE, REASON IS A FLAT-SPACE ABSTRACTING TOOL THAT SUPPORTS ‘GROWTH”.

DID ANYONE NOTICE THAT “BALANCE” JUST GOT THROWN OUT THE WINDOW? by bringing in REASON?   WHAT ABOUT THE CONJUGATE SHRINKAGE OF THE WILDERNESS?  SHOULDN’T WE BE KEEPING ALL OF THAT DIVERSITY “IN BALANCE” WITH OUR MALE-ASSERTIVE MONO-CULTURE RATIO-based GROWTH?

If we go with ‘REASON’ aka ‘RATIO’ aka ‘RATIONALITY’, we can count on ‘DOUBLING OUR PROFIT’ if we ‘DOUBLE THE  LAND UNDER CULTIVATION’.  — WHAT’S THAT INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL ELDER SAYING? … THAT WE LIVE IN A SPHERICAL SPACE WHERE OUR MALE ASSERTING GROWTH IS INSEPARABLY TIED TO A FEMALE ACCOMMODATING WILDERNESS SHRINKAGE?

TELL THAT ABORIGINAL THAT OUR COMMON AVERAGE EUROPEAN LANGUAGE based THINKING DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY; IT TELLS US THAT IF WE DOUBLE OUR LAND UNDER CULTIVATION WE DOUBLE OUR PROFITS and this GROWTH of PRODUCTION and PROFIT IS SOMETHING WE ALL WANT, ISN’T IT, SO LET’S “KEEP IT SIMPLE” and NOT GET INTO ANY DISCUSSIONS ON ‘BALANCE’ AND/OR HOW MANY ANGELS CAN DANCE ON THE HEAD OF A PIN.

ENTER DAVID BOHM, TO GIVE US A TALK ON HOW OUR WESTERN CULTURE IS CULTIVATING SCHIZOPHRENIA AND PARANOIA BECAUSE OF OUR ONE-SIDED CONSTRUCTION OF A SUBSTITUTE REALITY BASED SOLELY ON MALE-ASSERTIVE ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS.  This SUBSTITUTE REALITY DIS-INCLUDES the FEMALE CONJUGATE, which sets up the “DEA ABSCONDITA”, the GHOST of the DIS-INCLUDED CONJUGATE SHRINKAGE OF THE WILDERNESS, AN UNMENTIONED LOSS THAT IS RADICALLY TRANSFORMING THE REALITY OF OUR SENSE EXPERIENCE OF INCLUSION IN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka the WAVE-FIELD aka the TAO.

The TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM of our SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY is NOT THE SAME as the SUBSTITUTE REALITY.  In the SUBSTITUTE REALITY,  we are witness to the FRUITION OF OUR PLANS based on “REASONING” in regard to the RATIO-ING UP of OUR PROFITS FROM THE CONTINUING “GROWTH” OF CULTIVATED LAND.  Last year we cultivated 2 ACRES and made $4,000 and this year we cultivated 4 acres and made $8,000 and that’s how the GLOBAL GROWTH ECONOMY ‘WORKS’, RIGHT?

Only a SMALL MINORITY of WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS seem to be able to see (or perhaps to allow themselves to see) that GROWTH is DELUSION;  Here’s one in the following referenced article, but this person falls short of articulating the basic anatomy of the problem of putting RATIO (reason) which is BINARY LOGIC based, before BALANCE which is QUANTUM LOGIC based.  That may be because he understands that he would not be published or widely read if he came forth with ‘the FULL MONTY’.

Opinion: Sooner or later, we have to stop economic growth — and we’ll be better for it

The end of growth will come one day, perhaps very soon, whether we’re ready or not. If we plan for and manage it, we could well wind up with greater well-being.

by Richard Heinberg

January 8, 2019 — Both the U.S. economy and the global economy have expanded dramatically in the past century, as have life expectancies and material progress. Economists raised in this period of plenty assume that growth is good, necessary even, and should continue forever and ever without end, amen. Growth delivers jobs, returns on investment and higher tax revenues. What’s not to like? We’ve gotten so accustomed to growth that governments, corporations and banks now depend on it. It’s no exaggeration to say that we’re collectively addicted to growth.

The trouble is, a bigger economy uses more stuff than a smaller one, and we happen to live on a finite planet. So, an end to growth is inevitable. Ending growth is also desirable if we want to leave some stuff (minerals, forests, biodiversity and stable climate) for our kids and their kids. Further, if growth is meant to have anything to do with increasing quality of life, there is plenty of evidence to suggest it has passed the point of diminishing returns: Even though the U.S. economy is 5.5 times bigger now than it was in 1960 (in terms of real GDP), America is losing ground on its happiness index.

SO, in the above few paragraphs, the point is being made that;

RATIO AKA REASON IS TOO SIMPLE A TOOL OF UNDERSTANDING TO CAPTURE A MEANINGFUL REPRESENTATION OF REALITY BECAUSE IT ASSUMES A FLAT SPACE (EUCLIDIAN SPACE) SUBSTITUTE REALITY WHICH CONJURES UP LINEAR DYNAMICS AND THUS FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CONJUGATE RELATIONAL (WAVE-FIELD) NATURE OF THE SPACE OF OUR SENSORY EXPERIENCE OF INCLUSION THEREIN.    THE REALITY IS, THAT AS WE ‘GROW’ THE AREA OF LAND WE HAVE UNDER CULTIVATION WITH MONO-CULTURE CROPS, THERE IS A CONJUGATE “SHRINKAGE” OF WILDERNESS DIVERSITY, THE OVERALL REAL (SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMABLE)  IMPACT BEING BOUND UP IN THE “TRANSFORMATION” OF THIS DYNAMIC SPACE WE ALL SHARE INCLUSION IN.

Richard Heinberg is pointing to the superficial aspects of this mistake, but Bohm is going DEEPER and saying that our continuing to employ the BINARY LOGIC based SUBSTITUTE REALITY where we think of GROWTH, which is a RATIO-based abstraction, as something REAL (TRANSFORMATION IS REAL and involves the MALE-FEMALE CONJUGATE relation)

LETS BE CAREFUL NOW, because the MALE and FEMALE concepts are just a means of identifying the NON-DUAL nature of reality (as in the UNION of CONJUGATE OPPOSITES aka the WAVE-FIELD).  For example we say that the earth is a spherical body that is continually extruding material (male assertive) and subducting or ‘swallowing’ previously extruded sediments( female accommodating).  In understanding these TWO dynamics as ONE as is the nature of the WAVE-FIELD, this constitutes TRANSFORMATION.

However, WHO IS DOING THE TRANSFORMING because now that we understand the EARTH as ‘EARTHING’; i.e. as a conjugate PROCESS, we can’t use the earth as the AUTHOR and say that it is the EARTH that is doing this extruding and subducting which is in fact TRANSFORMATION.  Here we are rescued by our understanding of MATTER as a CONDENSATION of the all-pervading ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD, so I don’t have to speak as if THE EARTH is the LOCAL AUTHOR of its own EXTRUDING and SUBDUCTING but can instead understand that EARTHING is a CONDENSING of the all-pervading electromagnetic field and THIS BRINGS FORTH WITH IT the property of BALANCE as with this EXTRUDING and SUBDUCTING, so that BALANCE becomes an intrinsic property associated with SPHERICAL SPACE.

MAIN TAKE-AWAYS

REASON is a FLAT-SPACE ABSTRACTION BASED SIMPLIFICATION that is like the CUCKOO’S EGG that hatches out and TAKES THE PLACE OF SOMETHING MORE COMPLEX which seems to work so we go with it, like putting a VW engine into a Porsche because ‘it fits in there’ but DUMBS THE THING DOWN.   REASON is a FLAT-SPACE DUMBING DOWN TOOL that is NOT CAPABLE OF THE JOB of conveying an understanding of SPHERICAL SPACE, because in SPHERICAL SPACE, the actual space of our SENSE-EXPERIENCE of inclusion therein, … we need QUANTUM LOGIC which is BALANCE-based, where we don’t go around REASONING with RATIO that we can double our cultivated croplands.  THAT IS NOT EVEN A POSSIBILITY BECAUSE IN THE REAL WORLD OF SPHERICAL SPACE, THERE IS ALWAYS A FEMALE CONJUGATE OPENING/ACCOMMODATING TO EVERY MALE ASSERTING  WHICH MEANS THAT WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IS TRANSFORMATION RATHER THAN GROWTH OF CULTIVATED LAND OR SHRINKAGE OF WILDERNESS LAND.    BUT AT LEAST IT SETS US THINKING ONCE WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT GROWTH OF CULTIVATED LAND MEANS CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS SO THAT THE REALITY OF TRANSFORMATION ‘COMES TO MIND’.

HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO COVID 19 AND PATHOGENS IN GENERAL?

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PATHOGEN .  IT IS A DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR.  FOR EXAMPLE, ‘ROBIN HOOD’ IS NOT A ‘PATHOGEN’ BUT IS A REBALANCING AGENT, LIKE C. DIFFICILE AND LIKE COVID 19.

SOME OF US LIKE TO ENJOY IMBALANCE; E.G. THE RICH ENJOY THE RICH-AND-POOR-IMBALANCE WHICH GIVES THE FORMER THE POWER TO MAKE SLAVES OUT OF THE LATTER, AS IS THE WAY THAT MODERN WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL DYNAMICS WORK, BUT WE HAVE LOTS OF EUPHEMISMS TO SOFTEN THE PUNCH LIKE ‘WORKERS’ and “OWNERS’ ALONG WITH THE PROMISE OF MAKING A WORM to BUTTERFLY TRANSITION.

My aim is NOT to delve into the ‘MORALITY’ of these social dynamics, my intention is to point to the very deep difference between RATIO (REASON) and BALANCE, because RATIO/REASON is intellectual abstraction while BALANCE is grounded in SENSE-EXPERIENCE.  So, regardless of whether a canoe is rated for 10 occupants (which presupposes some or other intellectual calculations) BALANCE is something that comes directly from SENSE-EXPERIENCE.  So, regardless of whether a canoe is rated for 10 occupants (based on some or other intellectual calculations), BALANCE is something that comes directly from SENSE-EXPERIENCE.

Marie-Antoinette wanted the REASONING of ENTITLEMENT to PREVAIL over BALANCE, but BALANCE belongs to sense experience as in “having an empty or full stomach”, and in the end, the sense-experience is likely to take over from INTELLECTUAL ENTITLEMENT, … however, we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are big on MANAGING things according to the abstraction of INTELLECTUAL ENTITLEMENT, so we can expect to see more ‘ROBIN HOOD REBALANCERS’ as the  WAGE RATIO DISPARITY between MANAGER and WORKER continues to rocket upwards.

CEOs see pay grow 1,000% in the last 40 years, now make 278 times the average worker

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/16/ceos-see-pay-grow-1000percent-and-now-make-278-times-the-average-worker.html

This is where Marie Antoinette was coming from in the sense that ENTITLEMENT is RATIO based or REASON based and it is common in WESTERN CULTURE to go by what is termed ENTITLEMENT which is something decided in a hierarchical social organization by ‘those in power’.

While ENTITLEMENT is hard to argue with as it derives from intellectual sophistry, BALANCE is something that belongs to SENSE-EXPERIENCE reality.

OK, ONCE AGAIN, WHAT’S THIS GOT TO DO WITH COVID 19?

The CONCEPT OF THE LOCAL AUTHOR is behind the WESTERN practice of REWARD and PUNISHMENT and the PATHOGEN is the notional AUTHOR of NEGATIVE rather than POSITIVE actions and developments.

In the case of RAPE, MURDER or THEFT in an indigenous aboriginal social collective, the response is the HEALING CIRCLE because it is understood that while the TENSIONS in the social relational assemblage may actualize through a LIGHTNING ROD or CHANNELLER, such tensions do not ORIGINATE within that LIGHTNING ROD or CHANNELER, so as also in a game of BUMPER CARS, it cannot be assumed that the LIGHTNING ROD that channelled the ZAPPING was the AUTHOR of the ZAPPING; i.e. the ZAPPER was the CONDUIT for the ZAPPING which derived from RELATIONAL TENSIONS in the social relational collective.

In this indigenous aboriginal way of understanding, which matches Modern physics, there is no such thing as a LOCAL AUTHOR, therefore there is no such thing as a PATHOGEN.  Instead, there is IMBALANCE which is the QUANTUM LOGIC understanding that matches our SENSE-EXPERIENCE.  And where there is IMBALANCE and associated tensions, there is likely to be lightning rod or other rebalancing conduits.

The REBALANCER (something we all experience) contrasts with the ABSTRACTION of the PATHOGEN which is defined as a LOCAL AUTHOR of injurious actions and developments.   Of course Marie Antoinette would argue that the POOR had NO RIGHT to any of her wealth, on principle, regardless of whether it could have afforded life-saving nourishment.   The DISPLACEMENT of NATURAL BALANCE by intellectual abstraction such as ENTITLEMENT is a salient feature of WESTERN CULTURE that distinguishes the latter from the indigenous aboriginal POTLATCH culture.

The REBALANCER, like Robin Hood and Jean Valjean, is coming from SENSE-EXPERIENCE while the WESTERN CULTURE ESTABLISHMENT is coming from  the INTELLECTUAL ABSTRACTION OF ENTITLEMENT and this is a recipe for DYSFUNCTION.  Meanwhile, in our WESTERN CULTURE the era of Romanticization of REBALANCERS may have passed with the passage of Che Guevara T-shirts.

In this essay, my focus is NOT on ‘how things should be’, … but simply on making the point THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CONCEPT OF “THE PATHOGEN”because it is “LOCAL AUTHOR based” and “THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A LOCAL AUTHOR in the real world of our SENSE EXPERIENCE” (where we are orchestrated by sensory experience based BALANCING needs).

PATHOGENS are the ABSTRACTION that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS come up with which SUBSTITUTES the ABSTRACT notion of LOCAL AUTHORING OF NASTY ACTIONS for the behaviour-shaping PULL of SENSE EXPERIENCE related BALANCE and IMBALANCE.

The PATHOGEN is a notional LOCAL AUTHOR, a DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR.

So long as we are thinking in the BINARY LOGIC terms of LOCAL AUTHORS,, the QUANTUM LOGIC reality of BALANCE and IMBALANCE that involves REBALANCERS will have no place to ‘land’ (the Cuckoo’s Egg problem).

C. DIFFICILE is, in sense-experience terms a REBALANCER and NOT A PATHOGEN.

COVID 19 is, in sense-experience terms, a REBALANCER and NOT a PATHOGEN.

The CHALLENGE IS TO FIND AND RESOLVE THE IMBALANCE, and NOT to throw a wrench in the works by ELIMINATING the REBALANCER, perpetuating the IMBALANCE so as to cultivate a continuing sequence of REBALANCER VARIANTS.

A RICH and POOR IMBALANCE that induces a proliferation of REBALANCERS may be suppressed in the SHORT TERM by ANTI-REBALANCER POLICE but if the IMBALANCE is severe, the REBALANCERS will keep coming, NEW VARIANT STRAIN AFTER NEW VARIANT STRAIN.   At some point the over-simplistic attempt at SUPPRESSION by ELIMINATION of REBALANCERS will have to give way to REBALANCING.

REASON is what is having us confuse the REBALANCER for a PATHOGEN that we must eliminate.

TEACHING the DIFFERENCE between BALANCE and REASON IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR CHILDREN’S WELL-BEING
