WESTERN CULTURE PSYCHO-FRAGMENTATION ALERT.
PREFACE: This note briefly reviews the proposition of PSYCHOLOGICAL FRAGMENTATION that is endemic in WESTERN CULTURE, as has been been pointed out by Bohm, Nietzsche and others.
FRAGMENTATION is well-described by the aphorism; “THE PATH TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS”
The well-intentioned leaders of WESTERN CULTURE DEMOCRACIES “have their ladder up the wrong wall” through belief in a SUBSTITUTE REALITY where the abstraction of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and developments is SUBSTITUTED for REALITY. LOCAL AUTHORING is the source of FRAGMENTATION that is the source of SCHIZOPHRENIA in the WESTERN CULTURE social collective.
We (WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS) are heading into a STORM of PSYCHOLOGICAL FRAGMENTATION that is manifesting as SOCIAL FRAGMENTATION which derives from our WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE and GRAMMAR ARCHITECTURE. What we see as CONTINUING PROGRESS and ADVANCEMENT of our SOCIETY is misleading APPEARANCE since these advances, which favour “US HUMANS” are “AT THE EXPENSE” of “other participants” in our complex interdependent world dynamic.
As HUMANS, we are continuing to cultivate SUBOPTIMIZATION which improves conditions for HUMANS out of the context of ‘the rest of ‘creation’. If we truly are INDEPENDENT BEINGS as our WESTERN CULTURE language and grammar presents us to ourselves, then SUBOPTIMIZATION to improve our HUMAN situation regardless of the ‘rest’ “makes sense”. BUT IF REALITY is something very different; i.e. IF ALL FORMS INCLUDING HUMAN FORMS ARE INCLUDED IN THE ONE DEVELOPMENT aka the WAVE-FIELD aka the TAO, as is the finding of Modern Physics, indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, then we are INTERDEPENDENT and attempts at SUBOPTIMIZATION of HUMANS, FALSELY SEEN as an INDEPENDENT RACE, is DESTRUCTIVE to the health of the interdependent ALL-INCLUDING UNUUM.
This WESTERN CULTURE (language and grammar based) belief in HUMAN INDEPENDENCE (thanks to the influence of BINARY LOGIC) has been leading to SUBOPTIMIZATION that improves living conditions for the deemed-independent HUMAN species, at the expense of deterioration of conditions for NON-HUMAN participants.
MODERN PHYSICS is suggesting that OUR WESTERN CULTURE penchant for SUBOPTIMIZING conditions for HUMANS-AS-IF-HUMANS-WERE-AN-INDEPENDENT-‘SPECIES’ is the source of conflict and damage to our actual INTER-DEPENDENT SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY.
This understanding of the WHOLENESS of reality as in the WAVE-FIELD and the TAO as reaffirmed by MODERN PHYSICS is the understanding of reality embraced by indigenous aboriginal cultures who ‘warned’ us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS of our ERROR in assuming the INDEPENDENCE of the abstractions we create with the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR which impresses our PSYCHE with a BINARY LOGIC based notion of SEPARATION of HUMAN INHABITANT from the HABITAT.
This BINARY LOGIC based ABSTRACT FRAGMENTATION has induced warnings from indigenous aboriginals who share inclusion in this ONE COMMON LIVING SPACE aka the WAVE-FIELD aka the Tao;
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”
YES, our WESTERN CULTURE sense of “OUR” HUMAN AUTHORED ACCOMPLISHMENTS SUPPORTS EGO-INFLATION, along with the sense that WE DID IT, as if WE have the powers of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and developments (the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR). OUR corresponding systems of REWARDS and RECOGNITION serve to perpetuate belief in the FALSE notion of DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR based AUTHORING of actions and developments, have secured a LOCK-IN by HIGH SWITCHING COSTS to this ERRONEOUS belief in LOCAL AUTHORING and the EGO inflation that comes with it.
Our modern cities with their SKY-SCRAPERS are truly impressive but the GROWTH of a CITY is just an intellectual SNAPSHOT of a LOCAL DEVELOPMENT when our sense-experience reality is telling us that there is NO SUCH THING AS A LOCAL DEVELOPMENT in the transforming relational continuum we share inclusion in; i.e. the “WEB OF LIFE THAT MAN IS AN INCLUDED STRAND IN”. The WHOLENESS and the IMPLICIT ORDER that Bohm speaks of reaffirms the indigenous aboriginal understanding of sense-experience reality, and puts us AT ODDS with the NAMING and GRAMMAR based SUBSTITUTE REALITY we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have CREATED.
We have popularized the use of BINARY LOGIC to split apart FIGURE from GROUND into TWO, inventing GRAMMAR so as to re-mobilize the now INDEPENDENT FIGURE within a notional ABSOLUTE EMPTY EUCLIDEAN SPACE OF INFINITE EXTENT.
GOODBYE “QUANTUM LOGIC” wherein FIGURE-and-GROUND-are only ONE, … HELLO WESTERN CULTURE BINARY LOGIC wherein FIGURE-and-GROUND-are-TWO.
What now hold this ABSTRACT and FRAGMENTATION inducing SUBSTITUTE REALITY ‘IN PLACE” is “EGO”, the popular WESTERN CULTURE belief in LOCAL AUTHORING. This EGO that swells the head and associates with MALE ASSERTIVE ACTION AND DEVELOPMENT is displacing INSPIRATION that FILLS the HEART in associated with the aesthetics of TRANSFORMATION. The single-minded intellectual focus on DEVELOPMENT is unable to accommodate, at the same time, the sense-experience informed INTUITION of inclusion in TRANSFORMATION, yet the former (DEVELOPMENT) is only an abstract ratio-based, effable SUBSTITUTE REALITY while the latter is ineffable sense-experience reality of inclusion in the transforming relational continuum. While DEVELOPMENTS can be conceived of in a LOCAL, EXPLICIT PIECEMEAL (FRAGMENTED) fashion that is amenable to language-based articulation, TRANSFORMATION, while it is the REAL REALITY affirmed by our sense experience, is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) and thus INEFFABLE so that we can only use INFERENCE and INTUITION to treat of it by way of intellectual discourse.
The EXPEDIENT that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have chosen has been to employ FRAGMENTATION as the basis for language capture, … NOT OF REALITY, … BUT of a SUBSTITUTE REALITY based on FRAGMENTS, GROWTH, MOTION and PRODUCTION that is shareable with BINARY LOGIC based constructions.
So, as stated, this note briefly reviews the proposition of PSYCHOLOGICAL FRAGMENTATION that is endemic in WESTERN CULTURE since FRAGMENTATION plays THE FOUNDATIONAL ROLE in WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE ARCHITECTURE as has been been pointed out by Bohm, Nietzsche and others.
And YES, this FRAGMENTATION that is given a foundational role in WESTERN CULTURE CAE language architecture is a CRAZY-MAKER that BLINDS US to the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE by having us concentrate our focus on the LOCAL and EXPLICIT as in the abstractions of LOCAL GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT and PRODUCTION, all ABSTRACTIONS that merely APPEAR REAL in our DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR based SUBSTITUTE REALITY.
* * * END OF PREFACE * * *
My interest in this topic or how we perceive reality is not casual or philosophical as much as it is emotional, so while my engaging with you is philosophical, and I do believe that philosophical understanding can possibly transform the emotional, I believe that is a work in progress’. The huge focus of my time on these topics is driven by emotions. Yet because of my emotional drive, I do not want to give my philosophical and spiritual aspects short shrift because I do believe that everything must be ‘in balance’ for true understanding to be awakened.
That being said, I feel as if my researches are stimulated by the same sense as Bohm’s and Nietzsche’s appear to be, by the sense that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are undergoing psychological FRAGMENTATION coming from our WESTERN CULTURE belief system which is BINARY LOGIC based.
The concept of getting in touch with and informed by CHOICELESS AWARENESS makes sense to me, in a particular way, which is that we all share inclusion in the transforming relational continuum aka the WAVE-FIELD aka the Tao.
I see this as affirmed by Modern physics, as I believe, Bohm and Peat and Nietzsche also did, in the following sense;
-1- BINARY LOGIC IS ABSTRACTION THAT IS A CRAZY MAKER. FIGURE and GROUND are NOT TWO, FIGURE and GROUND ARE ONE.
-2- QUANTUM LOGIC ‘makes sense’ as where we understand FIGURE-and-GROUND as ONE as in the case of matter being a condensation of the electromagnetic field
-3- WESTERN JUSTICE and WESTERN MEDICINE are crazy-makers because they are based on the UNREAL ABSTRACTION of BINARY LOGIC, the EITHER/OR logic of the EXCLUDED medium, and the associated BINARY LOGIC notions of EITHER GOOD OR BAD as describe LOCAL and EXPLICIT EVENTS. EG. THE TOWN IS GROWING LARGER AND MORE POPULOUS AND PRODUCTIVE.
-4- EASTERN JUSTICE and EASTERN MEDICINE are based on QUANTUM LOGIC or the BOTH/AND logic of INCLUDED medium, and of BOTH GOOD and BAD as in the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT. EG. “IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE THERE IS TOWNING”. The relation between TOWNING and LANDSCAPE is QUANTUM LOGIC, the BOTH/AND logic of the INCLUDED medium where the TOWNING is an APPEARANCE based aspect within the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE. THAT IT: the whole story is THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE and the TOWNING is a FEATURE WITHIN THE TRANSFORMING and is not anything separate and does not have any ‘powers of authorship’ as WESTERN CULTURE language and grammar habitually portrays it.
HOW WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS DECEIVE OURSELVES WITH LANGUAGE AND GRAMMAR.
EXAMPLE, OUR BELIEF THAT WE WESTERN HUMANS HAVE MADE AMAZING ADVANCES IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND MEDICINE. IS THIS TRUE?
Before we answer this, let’s hear out the systems sciences and their observations as in ‘The Name of the Devil is Suboptimization’
What does this phrase mean? it means the if we notionally FRAGMENT the world into notional ‘separate parts’ such as ‘independent nations’ or independent animals such as ‘human beings’, we have just imposed NAME LABELS on relational forms in the transforming relational continuum wherein ‘everything is interdependently related’ as in the indigenous aboriginal expression MITAKUYE OYASIN. This gives meaning to ‘The Name of the Devil is Suboptimization’ in the sense that we could only make the claim that a particular nation, e.g. the U.S., was performing better than the rest if it were true that the U.S. or any other NAMING-instantiated ‘independent nation’ were really and truly INDEPENDENT so that could ‘really’ ISOLATE something we could legitimately label THEIR BEHAVIOUR or THEIR ACTIONS or THEIR DEVELOPMENT or THEIR PRODUCTION.
INTELLECTUALLY, thanks to the abstract rules of language and grammar, everything is DECLARED TO BE INDEPENDENT but this does not overcome the sense-experience reality wherein EVERYTHING IS RELATED as in ONE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.
NAMING and GRAMMAR and the DOUBLE ERROR where we say ‘the U.S. produced so-and-so many tons of wheat, is just that, a DOUBLE ERROR. The first error lies in NAMING because while NAMING imputes LOCAL, INDEPENDENT EXISTENCE of the NAMED entity, THERE IS NO SUCH THING, in our sense-experience reality. However, in the LA-LA-LAND of our ABSTRACT RATIONALIZING MIND, we CREATE a SUBSTITUTE REALITY wherein such things ARE AGREED TO EXIST. Once people AGREE that something exists then we have a quorum for speaking as if it did exist, whether we claim the thing to be a UNICORN or and INDEPENDENT NATION, notionally with “ITS OWN POWERS OF AUTHORING ACTIONS AND PRODUCTION and DEVELOPMENT.
This belief in the INDEPENDENT NATION with its own powers of AUTHORING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENTS and PRODUCTION IS TOTAL BULLSHIT that only survives because a vast number of people have agreed to speak as if it were reality. It is NOT REALITY, it is a language-based and implicit agreement based SUBSTITUTE REALITY. INDEPENDENT NATIONS DO NOT EXIST and thus “THEY” are not the LOCAL AUTHORS of actions, developments and production of goods and services. THERE ARE NO LOCAL AUTHORS OF ANYTHING. We live in a transforming relational continuum.
WHEN WE SPEAK OF HOW WELL WESTERN CULTURE HAS BEEN DOING, based on all the many amazing scientific, engineering and medical achievements chocked up by our WESTERN CULTURE, there is much to celebrate in regard to our WESTERN CULTURE’s contribution to the PLANET, … er, .. to HUMANKIND.
Of course, HUMANKIND does not exist, it is a abstraction as we are all included in the transforming relational continuum so what we have been TOUTING and ‘man’s achievements’ and crediting WESTERN CULTURE man, in particular, are a case of SUBOPTIMIZATION which is anything but a positive achievement because it is a DELUSION based on our declaring ourselves to be INDEPENDENTLY EXISTING CREATURES who we purport to be living on a LANDSCAPE that we deem to be INDEPENDENT of ourselves. As the systems sciences express this error;
The Name of the Devil is Suboptimization’
“The above aphorism, attributed to Kenneth Boulding, points to the inherent weakness characterizing the mindset and socio‐economic, political, educational and managerial practices of Western Industrial society as it developed over the past 300 years. It has its basis in the analytic‐reductionistic scientific paradigm, which, despite the remarkable technological applications it spawned, is inappropriate, conflict‐generating and dysfunctional in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence …” — György Jaros and Martine Dodds-Taljaard (International Society of Systems Sciences)
What is being said here is right on target; what we claim to be our greatest WESTERN CULTURE ACHIEVEMENTS is a SUBSTOPTIMIZATION of an innately interdependent reality. In other words, our GREAT SUCCESS is a GREAT SCREW-UP and it is only seen as a SUCCESS in the SUBSTITUTE REALITY wherein we see ourselves as INDEPENDENT of the WORLD we live in. As Chief Seattle pointed out and Modern physics reaffirms,
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”
So, our discussions sometimes feel as if they are ‘too’ esoteric. I am not saying that they are, but saying that while we are having our exchanges, there is an elephant in the room and it is this elephant that ‘Chief Seattle’ (or whoever wrote the above) is talking about.
WESTERN CULTURE is charging down the road of fragmentation and the WHITE MAN (the WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENT) is leading this dysfunctional charge.
Would embrace of CHOICELESS AWARENESS resolve our fragmentation issue? My sense is that CHOICELESS AWARENESS opens the mind to inclusion in transformation, but as discussed above, as we undergo transformation, we change and as we change, we experience something akin to the BIASING on a recording head but it would take a REVOLUTION to DE-GAUSS us and this is suppressed by police and military that is very often strengthened rather than permitting TRANSFORMATION to proceed.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST. The PATHOGEN models of WESTERN MEDICINE and WESTERN JUSTICE misinterpret RELATIONAL IMBALANCE as the ATTACK OF PATHOGENS. This model is BINARY LOGIC based and it persists because, as Poincaré pointed out with his example; ‘the EARTH IS TURNING ROUND’, it is SIMPLER to speak in these BINARY LOGIC based terms than to acknowledge the reality of QUANTUM LOGIC wherein FIGURE and GROUND are ONE as in the example where matter is a condensation of the electromagnetic field.
COVID 19 is NOT a PATHOGEN. There are no PATHOGENS. There is only relational balance as in resonance and relational dissonance as in imbalance, so what gets described as the ATTACK OF PATHOGENS whether ROBIN HOOD or COVID 19 is, in reality, the manifesting of relational imbalance. This has been clearly shown in the case of Clostridium difficile which proliferates in situations of imbalance in the microbial assemblage arising from the administering of anti-biotics It is easily cured by REBALANCING through a FECAL MICROBIOTA TRANSPLANT, which the WESTERN MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT, particularly in the USA, has resisted, so that tens of thousands of people die each year from colitis caused by imbalance in the microbial assemblage indicated by a c. difficile proliferation following the radical reduction of critical microbes essential for a balanced microbial assemblage. This imbalance manifests as colitis with an associated proliferating of c. difficile. WESTERN MEDICINE continues to see c. difficile as an attacking PATHOGEN and responds with anti-biotics aimed at killing off the c. difficile. It is then said that the c. difficile are anti-biotic resistant since they persist in spite of the antibiotics deployed to kill the c. difficile. but the c. difficile proliferate to try to fill a gap left by other health-giving microbes killed off by anti-biotics.
It’s no good killing more microbes with anti-biotics because that won’t bring back the balance in the microbial assemblage that is due to the loss of many essential microbial species that make up a healthy balanced microbial assemblage. The FMT treatment restores balance to the microbial assemblage and is close to 100 % effective. Consider how strong the ANTI-PATHOGEN belief is in WESTERN SOCIETY such that our society allows the needless annual death of 30,000 people from colitis which is merely signified but NOT DUE TO a proliferation of c. difficile.
This belief in PATHOGENS comes from the continued misplaced use of FRAGMENTARY BINARY LOGIC where QUANTUM LOGIC is naturally called for.
WHERE THERE IS SOCIAL IMBALANCE due to an excessive RICH versus POOR gap, identifying the rebalancing efforts of the POOR as the ATTACK OF PATHOGENS (CRIMINALS) is going to perpetuate or even exacerbate the IMBALANCE
The same misplaced ANTI-PATHOGEN action is occurring in the case of COVID 19. That is, COVID 19 is NOT A PATHOGEN. THERE ARE NO PATHOGENS. COVID 19 a microbe that proliferates in association with imbalance. That is the GENERAL CASE in a modern physics view of health and medicine.
WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have developed over the years, police and medical support for fending off the attack of pathogens. There is no sense of relational imbalance as being the REALITY and that is because of the DOUBLE ERROR structure of our NAMING and GRAMMAR which speaks in terms of LOCAL AUTHORS of actions and developments (such as “PATHOGENS”) even though what is going on in sense experience reality is relational TRANSFORMATION
HOW FAR DO WE WANT THE RICH AND POOR GAP TO GO? IF WE WANT THE IMBALANCE TO BE EXTREME, IT IS GOING TO COST US IN ‘ANTI-PATHOGEN RESOURCES, or more realistically, it is going to cost us in terms of ANTI-REBALANCING RESOURCES.
A VACCINE is an ANTI-REBALANCING AGENT and there is an endless supply of revenues coming to Pfizer and other pharmaceutical companies while we continue to play this game of CULTIVATING NEW VARIANTS by treating REBALANCING AGENTS as PATHOGENS and developing ANTI-PATHOGEN technologies rather than RE-BALANCING remedies. We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are doing this in the case of social relations as well as microbial relations.

So, I would like to tie this all together with CHOICELESS AWARENESS but the closest I could come, so far, is to make the comparison with DE-GAUSSING of recording heads which suggests that CHOICELESS AWARENESS cannot ‘stay current’ because it happens that as we continue to be openly aware, we naturally evolve our ideas from full innocence to less innocent so that our AWARENESS becomes ‘experienced’ AWARENESS and develops BIASES so that we no longer have powers of INNOCENT AWARENESS. A can’t gaze twice upon a naked female for he is not he same male and she is not the same female.
My sense is that CHOICELESS AWARENESS opens the mind to inclusion in transformation, but as discussed above, as we undergo transformation, we change and as we change, we experience something akin to the BIASING on a recording head but it would take a REVOLUTION to DE-GAUSS us as a social collective and this is suppressed by police and military that is very often strengthened so as to PRESERVE THE STATUS QUO rather than permitting TRANSFORMATION to proceed.

FOOTNOTE:
For us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, when we speak of REALITY, we are not speaking of sense-experience reality but of a language-and-grammar based SUBSTITUTE REALITY, and this is the source of widespread FRAGMENTATION both in the WESTERN CULTURE CONDITIONED PSYCHE of the individual and FRAGMENTATION in the social collective Points to remember;
-1- We FALSELY believe in our own powers of LOCAL AUTHORING of actions and developments. This is a FALSITY that derives from the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR.
-2- FIRST ERROR: We FALSELY believe in the INDEPENDENT EXISTENCE of NAMED THINGS such as TOWNS, NATIONS, HUMANS, GROUPS, CORPORATIONS etc. (LCOAL EXISTENCE as the FIRST of the DOUBLE ERROR pair); “there is a TOWN that is in the bottom of this valley that is called PLEASANTVILLE.
-3- SECOND COMPOUNDING ERROR: WE FALSELY believe in the LOCAL AUTHORING POWER of NAMED THINGS as given by GRAMMAR; e.g. the TOWN os GROWING LARGER and more PRODUCTIVE.
THAT IS THE WESTERN CULTURE SUBSTITUTE REALITY WHICH BREAKS OUT TOWNS FROM THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPTE and RECASTS THE TOWNS as LOCAL NAMING-instantiated THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES with their own GRAMMAR-given powers of AUTHORING actions and development.
* * *
WHAT WE JUST CONSTRUCTED IS A NAMING and GRAMMAR based SUBSTITUTE REALITY which is very different from the SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY wherein everything is included in ONE transforming relational continuum. However, this sense-experience reality, because it is the overall, all-containing FLOW or WAVE-FIELD (the Tao) or “transforming relational continuum”) is a REALITY that is beyond capture in language because it is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relationally transforming). This sense-experience realty is a reality wherein everything is in continuing flux and this is INEFFABLE (beyond capture) in the representations of a language that gives THE foundational representation role to LOCALLY EXISTING THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES. We can use the FORMS in the FLOW to describe the FLOW but sine WESTERN CULTURE uses BINARY LOGIC to construct representations of reality, there arises TWO POLAR OPPOSITE construction possibilities; the MALE-ASSERTIVE possibility wherein the FORM stirs up the FLOW or the FEMALE-INDUCTIVE possibility wherein the FLOW stirs up the FORM.
This AMBIGUITY does NOT arise in EASTERN and indigenous aboriginal languages because QUANTUM LOGIC is employed wherein the FORM and the FLOW are ONE the FORM is an aspect of the APPEARANCE of the flow and NOT something separate from the flow. When we see little ‘whorls’ scoot across the rapidly flowing (boiling) river flow, the APPEARANCE that the FORM is something separate from the FLOW is BINARY LOGIC that we impose on the dynamic based on ‘appearances’. The phenomenon itself is NOT SPLIT INTO TWO, it is only our LANGUAGE BASED REPRESENTATION that is split into two; i.e. the FORM AND the FLOW where the reality is that the FORM is in the FLOW and is NOT separate and independent of the FLOW, AS LANGUAGE AND GRAMMAR RE-PRESENTS IT.
ON THE CUSP OF EAST AND WEST! Shall we go with the WEST and opt for BINARY LOGIC wherein the FORM and FLOW are TWO SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT THINGS, or shall we go with the EAST and opt for the QUANTUM LOGIC wherein the FORM and FLOW are ONE?
WE ARE CONSTANTLY FACED WITH THIS CHOICE BECAUSE FORMS or FIGURES or INHABITANTS and continually emerging from the GROUND or HABITAT and subducting back into the GROUND or HABITAT. WE HAVE OURSELVES to consider here, in deciding how to understanding the INHABITANT-HABITAT relation. TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONAL CHOICES have lead to TWO DIFFEREN CULTURES. While the EAST has chosen to understand FIGURE-and-GROUND-as-ONE as in “QUANTUM LOGIC”, the WEST has chosen to understand FIGURE-and-GROUND-as-TWO as in ‘BINARY LOGIC’. MODERN PHYSICS has more recently shown that FIGURE-and-GROUND-are-ONE is captures the relationship between FIELD and MATTER which is foundational to our sense-experience reality.
BUT WEST DID CHOOSE FIGURE and GROUND are TWO (INHABITANT and HABITAT are TWO) and thus the BINARY LOGIC option that comes with this choice. This WESTERN CHOICE for LOGICALLY UNDERSTANDING REALITY is the source of FRAGMENTATION sine in using language-based representations based on BINARY LOGIC, the FIGURE is SPLIT OUT of the GROUND and RE-PRESENTED in the DOUBLE ERROR terms of NAMING and GRAMMAR; e.g. ‘the TOWN is GROWING LARGER and MORE PRODUCTIVE’, as contrasted with the QUANTUM LOGIC FIGURE and GROUND-are-ONE expression, there is TOWING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE and everything is in continual flux and there are no THINGS which are purported to be GROWING and PRODUCING as if in their own right.
These TWO VERY DIFFERENT REPRESENATIONS OF REALITY, the EAST’s FIGURE and GROUND-as-ONE QUANTUM LOGIC reality and the WEST’s FIGURE and GROUND as TWO BINARY LOGIC reality, do not serve up mutually consistent psychological conceptions of REALITY. That is, the EAST’s psychological conception is of a flowing continuum embodying many relational forms within one overall fluid UNUM, while the WESTS psychological conception is of a multiplicity of SEPARATE, EXPLICIT, LOCAL FRAGMENTS occupying an absolute empty and infinite CONTAINING SPACE.
WE now know, from Modern physics, that the EAST’s and indigenous aboriginal’s psychological conception of reality is consistent with QUANTUM LOGIC, while the WEST’S psychological conception of reality is UNREAL, CONFUSING and the source of psycho-physical confusion and pathology. This was the finding of Bohm, Schroeding, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and others. This knowledge alone has not been sufficient to wrest WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS from their habit of BINRY LOGIC based conceptions of reality since these have been built int WESTERN CAI languages where they are repeated over and over again to us, as we continue to use our BINARY LOGIC based language architecture. Thus we continue to employ words like GROW, DEVELOP and PRODUCE WHICH DO NOT POINT TO OUR SENSE EXPERIENCE REALITY WHEREIN EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX, BUT INSTEAD CONSTRUCT AN ABSTRACT SUBSTITUTE REALITY.
IN OTHER WORDS, when we speak in terms of the TOWN or NATION GROWING and DEVELOPING and PRODUCING as implies a one-sided MALE-ASSERTIVE profile, we drop out MENTION of the HOLES in the ground and the STUMPS in the FOREST where materials have been taken to support the GROWTH. Overall what is underway is TRANSFORMATION of the LANDSCAPE as takes everything into account, the SHRINKAGES or LOSSES over here and the GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT over there. Since TRANSFORMING is overall and we are included in it (making it non-picturable but nevertheless sensory-experienceable) it is INEFFABLE. The WESTERN CULTURE habit is to construct a SUBSTITUTE REALITY on the one-sides MALE ASSERTIVE basis of MATERIAL DYNAMICS.
OUR WESTERN CULTURE CRAZY-MAKING ERROR IS IN USING THIS DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR based SUBSTITUTE REALITY as our OPERATIVE REALITY.
