First of all, LETS BE HONEST AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS’ UNDERSTANDING IS MORE CORRECT (AESTHETIC, NATURAL) THAN OUR WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENT UNDERSTANDING.  The indigenous aboriginal understanding is THAT WE ARE STRANDS IN THE WEB OF LIFE, meaning that WE ARE INCUDED IN A WORLD THAT IS GREATER THAN US which means that our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME which uses a SUBJECT-OBJECT SPLIT is IN ERROR.  Schroedinger REMINDS US THAT WE ARE INCLUDED IN THE WORLD, IT IS NOT SOME SEPARATE THING ‘OUT THERE”;

The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.” …Erwin Schroedinger

BUT SOMETHING IS LIMITING OUR WESTERN CULTURE THOUGHT AND UNDERSTANDING AND IT IS OUR LANGUAGE.

WE WESTERM CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE PACKING LIES INTO OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS THAT WE ARE CLAIMING TO BE ‘REALITY’!  Anthropologists like Jules Henry  and Ernest Becker and Psychiatrists like Ronald Laing are using STRONG WORDS to SHAKE US WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS BY OUR SHOULDERS to get us to WAKE UP TO OUR HUMONGOUS SCREW-UP that we passing on from generation to generation through our LANGUAGE and EDUCTION.

“It is Henry’s contention that in practice education has never been an instrument to free the mind and the spirit of man, but to bind them. We think we want creative children, but what do we want them to create? — ‘If all through school the young were provoked to question the Ten Commandments, the sanctity of revealed religion, the foundations of patriotism, the profit motive, the two party system, monogamy, the laws of incest, and so on … — there would be such creativity that society would not know where to turn. …  Children do not give up their innate imagination, curiousity, dreaminess easily. You have to love them to get them to do that. Love is the path through permissiveness to discipline; and through discipline, only too often, to betrayal of self.” R. D. Laing

OUR WESTERN CULTURE WORLD VIEW infused in us by our educators (… WINK-WINK, NUDGE-NUDGE, SAY NO MORE…) IS GROUNDED IN THE NOTION THAT WE ARE INDEPENDENT BEINGS LIVING IN INDEPENDENT NATIONS.  Every night the EVENING NEWS IS FEEDING US WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS DISTORTED VIEWS BASED ON LIES in a manner that brings to mind the RATCHETED FORCE-FEEDING of GEESE to PREPARE THEM FOR “PUBLIC SERVICE” AND WE GIVE OUR CHILDREN PRECIOUS LITTLE CHOICE BUT TO GO ALONG WITH the PACKAGE of BELIEFS’ MENTIONED by Laing, that support the “INDEPENDENT NATION” myth.

While teachings and understanding may seem LESS CONFUSED on the NATURE front than the CULTURE front, there is confusion in the mapping of the one into the other.

Those exploring the natural HARMONIES OF THE WORLD such as Johannes Kepler, author of ‘HARMONIES OF THE WORLD’, presumed that there was some INBUILT UNDERSTANDING of INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE in the world (which MODERN PHYSICS has shown us is because all material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the all-including ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM otherwise known as the WAVE-FIELD, which MATCHES the STRAND-IN-THE-WEB understanding of indigenous aboriginal cultures).   But such a system wherein everything is interconnected and interdependent conflicted with WESTERN CULTURE RELIGIOUS understandings which supported the INDEPENDENT EXISTENCE OF MAN within a DIVINE FRAMEWORK governed by GOD’S LAWS which have a BINARY LOGIC basis, informing us FROM ABOVE on how our behaviours, as INDEPENDENT BEINGS can be classified (JUDGED) as EITHER GOOD OR BAD.

This imputing of INDEPENDENT BEING to those material forms which in indigneous aboriginal cultures were seen as STRANDS IN THE WEB, removed the BEHAVIOUR-GUIDING INFLUENCE of RELATIONAL HARMONY that Kepler had discovered and documented in his classic work HARMONIES OF THE WORLD.  Isaac Newton’s SIMPLIFYING MODEL DROPPED OUT THE ASSUMPTION OF INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT MOVEMENTS of the PLANETS implicit in the overall HARMONIES of the WORLD by INTRODUCING a NOTIONAL ABSTRACT MATHEMATICAL REFERENCE FRAME that supported a mathematical DESCRIPTION of the MOVEMENT OF EACH PLANET SEEN AS AN INDEPENDENT ENTITY, DROPPING OUT ALL DEPENDENCY on the notional overall HARMONIES of the whole system.

As Newton stated, he was bothered by how there is something MISSING in his simple scientific model and it is ‘harmony’ in the sense of a pervasive over-all coordination as in the simultaneous mutual influence implicit in the gravity Field (he could not find mathematics that could capture this in a systems comprised of three or more bodies moving under their own simultaneous mutual influence).   In Newton’s view the difference between the actual world dynamic and the world dynamic as simulated through the laws of locally applied force, is ‘harmony’. In his words;

”… and the planets and comets will constantly pursue their revolutions in orbits given in kind and position, according to the laws above explained ; but though these bodies may, indeed, persevere in their orbits by the mere laws of gravity, yet they could by no means have at first derived the regular position of the orbits themselves from those laws. . . . This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being. And if the fixed stars are the centres of other like systems, these, being formed by the like wise counsel, must be all subject to the dominion of One.” — Newton, Scholium in the ‘Principia’

The ‘dominion of One’ and the harmony as associates with simultaneous mutual influence of all with all, is not only missing in Newton’s laws, as he openly says both in his Author’s prologue and in his summarizing Scholium, it is missing in our ‘scientized’ global social dynamic wherein we have used the scientific laws of locally applied force and direction to operationalize 195 ‘declared as INDEPENDENT’ sovereign states as local mechanical systems, without having addressed the issue of multi-body ‘simultaneous mutual influence’, which is built in to nature’s dynamic and which manifests in the self-organizing of community by way of the conjugate habitat-inhabitant dynamic (the all-including ‘Field’ effect).

OK, WITHOUT HIS KNOWING WHAT MODERN PHYSICS KNOWS; i.e. that MATERIAL FORMS ARE CONDENSATIONS OF THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD, and WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS NEW-TO-WESTERN-CULTURE KNOWLEDGE SUPPORTS THE STRAND-IN-THE-WEB INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE of our sense-experience reality as ACKNOWLEDGED AND EMPLOYED BY INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURES, WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS HAVE STUMBLED FORWARD, PLAGUED by the DYSFUNCTIONS of FRAGMENTATION and OBSCURANTISM that come with our having OPERATIONALIZED a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME GROUNDED (MISTAKENLY) in the BINARY LOGIC ABSTRACTION of INDEPENDENT MATERIAL OBJECTS IN ABSOLUTE EMPTY SPACE (A DYSFUNCTIONAL MISUNDERSTANDING THAT REMAINS OPERATIVE IN TODAY”S WESTERN CULTURE DOMINATED WORLD).

WHAT’S EVEN MORE SCREWED UP IS THAT WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS CONTINUE TO GIVE THIS FRAGMENTING AND OBSCURANTIST BINARY LOGIC BASED ABSTRACTION of LOCAL, EXPLICIT, (DISCONNECTED) MATERIAL BODIES AND THEIR ACTIONS AND INTERACTIONS AS IF WITHIN AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE “THE FOUNDATIONAL ROLE” IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING OF QUOTE/UNQUOTE ‘REALITY” .

NO! NO! NO!  IT IS TIME TO DROP OUT OF OUR WESTERN CULTURE LIVES, THESE FRAGMENTING and OBSCURANTIST BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM LOCAL and EXPLICIT MATERIALIST PSEUDO-REALITY CONSTRUCTIONS and INSTEAD, as Modern physics and indigenous aboriginal cultures have done, ACKNOWLEDGE the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM wherein MATERIAL FORMS are CONDENSATIONS OF THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD.   

The indigenous aboriginal culture understands this and has RIGHTLY WARNED US WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS (as in ‘Chief Seattle’s speech), that WE ARE MISTAKEN IN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS that speak in terms of our having CONSTRUCTED A TOWN and speak of the TOWN as if IT were capable of GROWING and DEVELOPING, which CREATES THE ILLUSION of the TOWN as a LOCAL, EXPLICIT THING-IN-ITSELF notionally situated within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE (linguistic conceptualizing that is ABSTRACT since our sense-experience informs us that what is actually going on is TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE wherein everything is INCLUDED within the all-including TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka the WAVE-FIELD).

THE POINT IS that IN SPITE OF OUR WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME which supports VOYEUR VIEWING of a TOWN-THAT-IS-GROWING-AND-DEVELOPING as an INDEPENDENT OBJECT THAT IS SEPARATE FROM OUR SELF, the REALITY IS that BOTH “WE” AND “THE WORLD” we are looking out at as if it were something SEPARATE and OUT THERE IN FRONT OF US (as if WE as the OBSERVING SUBJECT and the OBSERVED OBJECT are TWO SEPARATE THINGS that are INDEPENDENT OF ONE ANOTHER)… ARE JUST ONLY ONE, AS SCHROEDINGER IS POINTING OUT, AS IS AFFIRMED BY OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE.

LET’S NOT BE CONFUSED BY OUR SUBJECT and OBJECT SPLITTING LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME BREAKS US OUT OF OUR INCLUSION IN THE WORLD (too late, that is the current plight of WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS) wherein we use our ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME TO CONSTRUCT PSEUDO-REAL SCENARIOS such as ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’ where we synthetically (intellectually) SPLIT APART THE TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE which is ONE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM so that we can create, with our WESTERN CULTURE linguistic conceptualizing scheme, a SEPARATE STAND-ALONE, LOCAL and EXPLIT “TOWN” ( anotional thing-in-itself implicitly contained within an absract absolute empty and infinite space.

By using this type of LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING, we can speak about ‘the TOWN’ as if it were a LOCAL, EXPLICIT THING-IN-ITSELF, and say things like; “HE TOWN IS GROWING, DEVELOPING and PRODUCING goods and services” which is NOT THE REALITY THAT is affirmed by our sense-experience, i.e. our sense-experience affirmed REALITY is the REALITY affirmed by indigenous aboriginals and by MODERN PHYSICS which is the reality of an ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM which INCLUDES OURSELVES.;

“Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.” (Chief Seattle)

“Space is not empty.  It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.” (David Bohm)

DONALD TRUMP, in pushing the WESTERN CULTURE habit of OBJECTIFYING THE WORLD as if it were OUT THERE IN FRONT OF US and waiting for us to come and give it a MAKE-OVER, and this is SELF-DECEPTION, because even though we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have got into the habit of accepting our popular LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME where we speak as if we are NOT INCLUDED in the WORLD OF OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS, but AS IF THE WORLD WAS OUT THERE IN FRONT OF US WHERE WE CAN HAVED A VOYEUR VIEW OF ITS OPERATIONS.

WE SPEAK AS IF WE HAVE THE POWER, as OUTSIDE AGENTS, OF REACHING INSIDE AND CHANGING THE WORLD (turning the Gaza Strip into a recreational park.  THIS IS GOING TOO FAR in that it is exposing the BULLSHIT nature of our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME wherein we use LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING with its SUBJECT-OBJECT SPLIT where we BREAK with out sense-experience understanding of our INCLUSION the the ONE, ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM aka ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM wherein MATERIAL FORMS SUCH AS OURSELVES are CONDENSATIONS of the ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, a BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM “INCLUSIONAL” RELATIONSHIP which is understood as REALITY by both Modern physics and, in the alternative but equiivalent metaphor of STRANDS in the WEB as employed by indigenous aboriginal cultures.

IT IS WORTH IT TO TAKE THE TIME TO RE-READ AND CONTEMPLATE THE TWO HIGHLIGHTED PROPOSITIONS (INCLUDED IN THE WEB of LIFE and SPACE IS NOT EMPTY BUT FULL) because it is a REMINDER that WE ARE INCLUDED IN THE WORLD WE ARE LOOKING OUT AT IN WHICH CASE THE VOYEUR-VIEW PROPOSITIONS OF TRUMP such as pretend that WE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE WORLD OUT THERE BUT WE ARE SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT OF IT IN WHICH CASE WE CAN CLIMB OUT OF THE ALL-INCLUDING, UNBOUNDED WHOLE OF THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM THAT WE ARE PART OF AND STARE AT WHAT IS GOING ON AS IF IT WERE ‘OUT THERE’ AS IF WE WERE NOT INCLUDED IN IT AND AS IF WE HAD THE GOD-LIKE POWERS of CONTSTRUCTING  A TOWN OVER THERE and a CHURCH OVER HERE (thanks to the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR as in ‘the TOWN is GROWING’).

If we CAN ACTUALLY SEE “THE TOWN GROWING” THEN WHATSABOUT THE CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF THE WILDERNESS AND THE OVERALL TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE WHERE EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX AND WHEREIN THERE ARE NO NAMING-GIVEN ‘LOCAL, MATERIAL THINGS IN THEMSELVES’ AND THERE ARE NO GRAMMAR-GIVEN ‘LOCAL POWERS OF AUTHORING ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENT) that can ATTRIBUTED to the notional ‘LOCAL, MATERIAL THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES’, … there is ONLY the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTIUUM WHICH is PURELY RELATIONAL in which case we need to PLAY A SURPRISE VERSION of the GAME OF TWENTY-QUESTIONS’ as suggested by Theoretical physicist John Wheeler (the Participatory Anthropic Principle) which implies the INCLUDED OBSERVER as in the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM.

HERE WE HAVE A FORM OF LANGUAGE that is LESS SIMPLE than the BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM, .. BUT THIS LESS SIMPLE BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM grounded LANGUAGE can account for OUR OWN PARTICIPATION IN THE DYNAMICS WE ARE OBSERVING RATHER THAN BEING CONSTRAINED TO VOYEUR VIEWS AS IN OUR COMMON WESTERN CULTURE SUBLECT-OBJECT SPLITTING LANGUAGE. 

For example, languages which give us a BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM linguistic conceptualizing capability open the door to conveying such understandings as “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” wherein EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX and THERE IS NO DEPENDENCY ON THE ABSTRACT EITHER/OR based NOTION OF ‘LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL BEING THINGS’  such as “TOWNS” or “VALLEYS” that CONTAIN “TOWNS” where we can make EITHER/OR distinctions between “THE TOWN” as CONTENT and the ‘VALLEY”  as CONTAINER, whereby when we ANIMATE the CONTENT, the CONTAINER is  reduced to a PASSIVE (NON-PARTICIPATING) REFERENCE FRAME while the only source of ACTION (in this WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME) is the “TOWN” which is GROWING, which is a ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate which WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS WITH OUR HABITUAL BINARY LOGIC SIMPLIFYING LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME have CANNIBALIZED from the natural ANDROGYNOUS FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING — MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING WAVE-FIELD STRUCTURE.    

The indigenous aboriginal FLOW-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, which mirrors Bohm’s Rheomode FLOW-BASED LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME has the identical logical structure of the STRAND IN THE WEB.  The LOGIC  of the STRAND in the WEB is the less simple (than BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM) is the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which conveys “BOTH” the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT nature of the FLUID DYNAMIC or TRANSFORMING PLENUM which includes the SHRINKING WILDERNESS “AND” the LOCAL and EXPLICIT “APPEARANCE” of the TOWNING (male asserting).  AS Schroedinger points out, THE GROWTH OF THE TOWN IS ONLY “APPEARANCE” (i.e. “ITS GROWTH” implies that it is all its own doing and it depends on nothing else in order to GROW).   THE REALITY IS that WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IS THE TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE which includes the CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF THE WILDERNESS, in which case OUR VISION OF THE TOWN GROWING is NOT REAL, BUT ONLY ‘APPEARANCE’ since the REALITY is that the LANDSCAPE IS TRANSFORMING which included NOT ONLY THE MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING “GROWING TOWN” but also, at the same time, the CONJUGATE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING “SHRINKING OF THE WILDERNESS”.

 

ACHTUNG!  NOTA BENE!  … THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A TOWN THAT IS GROWING.  Such a phenomenon, featuring ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING (i.e. ‘THE TOWN GROWING’) could only arise if the TOWN were included within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE”.  BUT THAT IS NOT THE REALITY, the REALITY is that there is a conjugate SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS that occurs together with the GROWTH of the TOWN and these two conjugates together constitute TRANSFORMING of the LANDSCAPE.

IF WE STICK WITH OUR STORY THAT ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING’, WE ARE IN EFFECT INVENTING A SUBSITUTE PSEUDO-REALITY wherein phenomena can be BINARY LOGIC based wheres in the REAL world of our sense-experience there can be NO GROWTH OF THE TOWN WITHOUT CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF THE WILDERNESS which is, in fact, TRANSFORMATION and NEITHER ASSERTING GROWTH and ACCOMMODATING SHRINKING.   

WESTERN CULTURE WITH ITS TOWNS THAT ARE GROWING SPEUDO-REALITY which we are using as our OPERATIVE REALITY, are NOT, as far as our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZINGS ARE CONCERNED, IN THE SAME “QUOTE/UNQUOTE” “REALITY” and the fact is that the indigenous aboriginal “OPERATIVE REALITY” is STRAND-IN-THE-WEB based which has us understanding ourselves as INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT such that the unfolding developments of the TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM which comprise our REALITY, DO NOT HAVE A LOCAL AUTHORING BASE IN WHICH CASE THERE IS NO BASIS FOR REWARDING or PUNISHING LOCAL AUTHORS because THERE ARE NO LOCAL AUTHORS and what is going on in the world in NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) since EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX.

 

YES, YES, YES, WE HAVE THE LOCAL and EXPLICIT such as THE TOWN which we say is DOING ITS OWN GROWING but that is ONLY APPEARANCE, or in Schroedinger’s language “SCHAUMKOMMEN” which comes with the UNREAL IMPUTING OF AN ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE CONTAINING SPACE AS THE NOTIONAL THEATRE OF OPERATIONS FOR A ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE, which is a DOUBLE ERROR because NOT ONLY HAVE WE DROPPED OUT ALL MENTION OF THE  TRANSFORMING ENERGY CHARGED PLENUM (WAVE-FIELD) WHICH IS THE PRIMARY “NONLOCAL, IMPLICIT” AUTHOR OF REALITY.  This has been referred to as the DEA ABSCONDITA or GODDESS IN HIDING (FIRST ERROR) but we have PROMOTED A IMAGINARY SURROGATE INTO THE ROLE OF PRIMARY AUTHOR, the LOCAL and EXPLICIT MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING DYNAMIC (the GROWING TOWN) which is ONLY “APPEARANCE” (the REALITY is the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE). 

Nietzsche has caught this DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are using to INVENT A LOCAL AUTHOR OF ACTION, which is a convenient “DEVICE” for FRAGMENTING the REALITY CONTINUUM so that we can have a PIECEMEAL based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME.

Our judgement has us conclude that every change must have an author”;–but this conclusion is already mythology: it separates that which effects from the effecting. If I say “lightning flashes,” I have posited the flash once as an activity and a second time as a subject, and thus added to the event a being that is not one with the event but is rather fixed, “is” and does not “become.”–To regard an event as an “effecting,” and this as being, that is the double error, or interpretation, of which we are guilty.” – Nietzsche, ‘Will to Power’, 531

 

THERE IS NO ‘TOWN THAT IS GROWING’, there is only TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE (wherein everything is interconnected and interdependent).  The TOWNING in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE is an ANDROGYNOUS (wave-field) DYNAMIC WHERE THERE IS NO PRESENCE OF AN EMPTY SPACE CONTAINER FOR HOLDING WITHIN IT A TOWN THAT IS GROWING.

 

SO, AS ALREADY MENTIONED;

“Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.” (Chief Seattle)

“Space is not empty.  It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.” (David Bohm

 * * * * * * * * * * *

 

THE MOST IMPORTANT UNDERSTANDING TO TAKE AWAY FROM THE ABOVE IS THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDED MEDIUM (the foundational logic of indigenous aboriginals AND MODERN PHYSICS) is grounded in sense-experience REALITY because it captures the FULL WAVE-FIELD STRUCTURE of NATURE, while the WESTERN CULTURE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM (which deals only with ABSTRACT independent material objects and what they do as if in EMPTY SPACE) is UNREALISTIC and CONFUSING because, lacking the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING, the SOLO MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING requires LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING based on a DOUBLE ERROR of (1st error) “NAMING” (imputing LOCAL EXPLICIT MATERIAL BEING by way of NAMING) … AND… and (2nd error) “GRAMMAR” (imputing the POWER OF LOCAL AUTHORING TO THE NAMING-INSTANTIATED MATERIAL BEING).

An example of the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR is “THE TOWN IS GROWING”.  This is NOT REAL.  It cannot be REAL because A TOWN CANNOT GROW WITHOUT A CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS (or non-town region).  The CONFUSING THING is that “THE TOWN IS GROWING” can be TRUE because in BINARY LOGIC, as Goedel’s Theorem proves, “ALL FINITE PROPOSITIONS OF LOGIC ARE INCOMPLETE”.  So we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS CONFUSE OURSELVES BY USING LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING THAT COMMONLY EMPLOYS INCOMPLETE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS SUCH AS ‘THE TOWN IS GROWING”.  As far as our SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY is concerned, as the TOWN GROWS, there is a conjugate SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS and this is PICKED UP ON in indigenous aboriginal culture linguistic conceptualizing which is grounded in SENSE-EXPERIENCE REALITY where everything is in the relational flux of continuing TRANSFORMATION in which case one speaks in VERB-BASED constructions such as “THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” which embodies the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM where the “TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” is the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE and the “TOWNING” is the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING CONJUGATE. 

Note that the expression “TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” is a NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM form of linguistic conceptualization wherein everything is in a FLOW (an all-including wave-field) that is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT and in this kind of linguistic conceptualization there is NO DEPENDENCE on the LOCAL and EXPLICIT as there is in WESTERN CULTURE BINARY LOGIC based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING where we say “THE TOWN IS GROWING” (which implies a LOCAL, EXPLICIT development in an ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE).

LAST BUT NOT LEAST AND THIS IS ARGUABLY THE MOST DIFFICULT DETAIL FOR THE WESTERN CULTURE CONDITIONED MIND, is THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION ‘WHY DO INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS USE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE’?  WHY “NOT” BLAME THE LOCAL AUTHOR OF VIOLENCE such as RAPE AND MURDER?

“WHY NOT” is because THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A LOCAL AUTHOR in indigenous aboriginal culture.  The STRAND IN THE WEB, when it “MANIFESTS VIOLENT ACTIONS”, while he is the LOCAL CONDUIT (STRAND IN THE WEB) for the VENTING of TENSIONS that have built up within the WEB, IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF THE VENTING VIOLENCE BUT THE CONDUIT FOR THE VENTING.  BECAUSE OF THIS UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS A STRAND IN THE WEB RELATION INVOLVED (which is the same NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM RELATION as the CONDENSATION of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM).  So, while HUMANS are, in WESTERN CULTURE “PORTRAYED” IN THE ABSTRACT BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM terms as LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES that occupy and move about and interact within an ABSOLUTE EMPTY and INFINITE SPACE in which case one can always IDENTIFY the LOCAL AUTHOR/S of actions and developments such as WHO BUILT THE TOWN, and this is very important in WESTERN CULTURE where EGO SWELLS THE HEAD while in indigenous aboriginal cultures precedence is given to INSPIRATION FILLS THE HEART.  IN WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL DYNAMICS as can easily be seen in this ERA where WESTERN CULTURE BINARY LOGIC based CONCEPTUALIZATIONS PREVAIL, THE IDENTIFYING OF LOCAL AUTHORS OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS IS STANDARD PRACTICE and IN WESTERN CULTURE BINARY LOGIC based JUSTICE, the presume LOCAL AUTHORS of GOOD WORKS REWARDED and HONOURED while the LOCAL AUTHORS of BAD WORKS are PUNISHED and DENIGRATED.

 

IN indigenous aboriginal culture, the STRAND IN THE WEB understanding of what an individual is, means that THERE IS NO LOCAL, EXPLICIT AUTHOR of an action or development which is why the traditional JUSTICE is RESTORATIVE wherein, a VIOLENT ACT, being understood in a STRAND IN THE WEB SENSE, is of a NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT ORIGIN where VIOLENCE stemming from a BUILDUP OF TENSIONS in the social collective, while it VENTS through a particular STRAND IN THE WEB, means only that that STRAND is the CONDUIT for the VIOLENT VENTING OF TENSIONS that belong to the WEB (the social relational collective).  The REMEDY for such DYSFUNCTION in the community is the HEALING CIRCLE which comes together to resolve the TENSIONS in the WEB OF COMMUNITY that manifest by VENTING through a particular STRAND which is NOT THE AUTHOR of the relational TENSION-FUELED VIOLENT VENTING but the CONDUIT.  Since the TENSION in a WEB is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT, THERE IS NO LOCAL AUTHORING SOURCE, hence the need for JUSTICE that is RESTORATIVE rather than PUNITIVE or PURIFICATIONIST as in WESTERN CULTURE.   This is SUPPORTED BY the MODERN PHYSICS understanding of dynamics (which have the NONBINARY CONDENSATIONS in the WAVE-FIELD structure aka the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM which is the same as the NONBINARY STRAND-IN-THE-WEB STRUCTURE of indigenous aboriginals.

The NONBINARY LOGIC basis of dynamics acknowledges the existence of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM in which material forms are CONDENSATIONS.  IN this understanding, the DYNAMICS of the material CONDENSATIONS are NOT LOCALLY AUTHORED by the CONDENSATIONS but derive from the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM in which the CONDENSATONS are included, so the the REAL DYNAMICS are NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (coming from the TRANSFORMING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM aka WAVE-FIELD) while the LOCAL and EXPLICIT CONDENSATIONS are only APPEARANCE (Schaumkommen).

Ok, that  was the “First of all” bit, and we can move on to;

SECONDLY, you have likely all read the DIRE PREDICTIONS that assume that our WESTERN CULTURE as we now know it, is A SINKING SHIP. These have been politely shared by David Bohm and LESS POLITELY shareed by Psychiatrist Ronald Lang in concert with Anthropologist Jules Henry and, Anthropologist Ernest Becker.  These are really and truly solidly supported predictions of a TOTAL COLLAPSE of our currently operative WESTERN CULTURE PARADIGM, and IT IS SCARY, SO SCARY that we as a social collective are AVOIDING OPENLY ADDRESSING IT and we are instead HOPING IT WILL “GO AWAY”.

It’s NOT GOING TO GO AWAY, it’s here right now, like a sea of carpenter ants on their way to reducing the supporting pillars of our WESTERN CULTURE to SAWDUST.  We can be prepared by understanding how things are going to ‘go bad’ and how to be ready to build up replacement structures as we lose them.

Much has already been writtent about the untenable SCREW-UPS in the FOUNDATIONS of the WESTERN CULTURE BELIEF SYSTEM, e.g. the mistaken foundational role of too simple BINARY LOGIC.  Having studied the problem since my retirement in1996, I have my own vocabulary for ‘what is going wrong’ because there is no standard vocabulary for it, which is part of what has been hindering our WESTERN CULTURE in BRINGING IT TO THE FORE so that we can DEAL WITH IT.

But I can describe it in a manner consistent with other investigators that are on the same page.  I should first of all say that this language (English) I am using is very BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM based, unlike Modern physics and unlike indigenous aboriginal languages, wherein instead of there being the BINARY extremes of a SOCIETY that is EITHER SUCCESSFUL and supports HIGH FLYING, … OR,  a SOCIETY that is instead A FAILURE that CRASHES AND BURNS.

The indigenous aborginal language employs the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM, society is understood as having a STRAND in the WEB structure where the relationship of a STRAND in the WEB can be harmonious or dissonant.  The IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE of this BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM based understanding where the STRANDS are INCLUDED IN THE WEB in which case a STRAND that becomes VIOLENT is not the SOURCE of the VIOLENCE but the CONDUIT for VIOLENCE ENGENDERED IN THE WEB, which means that while there is a LOCAL, EXPLICIT STRAND THAT IS VENTING VIOLENCE, there IS NO LOCAL, EXPLICIT AUTHOR OF THE VIOLENCE (the origina of the violence is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT [relational]).  Indigenous aboriginal JUSTICE is therefore RESTORATIVE and there is no ‘HUNT’ for ‘the LOCAL, EXPLICIT GUILTY AUTHOR OF THE VIOLENCE’ because THERE IS NO AUTHOR, there is only RELATIONAL DISSONANCE IN THE WEB

“Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.” (Chief Seattle)

“Space is not empty.  It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.” (David Bohm)

The CONDENSATION of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM is the same (NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM) relational structure as the STRAND in the WEB.

The above mentioned PREDICTIONS of the COLLAPSE of the WESTERN CULTURE social system, by Bohm, Laing, Henry, Becker and others, if we DIG INTO IT, is deriving from how WESTERN CULTURE has SIMPLIFIED its (our) LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING scheme by DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate that is, in the world of our sense-experience, present and playing THE FOUNDATIONAL ROLE as the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM in which the material CONDENSATIONS are secondary (they are only APPEARANCE aka Schaumkommen.)

 

So, what has just been described is the DROPPING OUT in our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME, of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING conjugate, which is an essential component of the WAVE-FIELD structure of our reality.  This is why the WESTERN CULTURE is a SINKING SHIP because the distorted PSEUDO-REALITY that is supported in WESTERN CULTURE language that has been reduced to material forms in empty space (where the energy-charged PLENUM has been DROPPED OUT of our linguistic conceptualizing scheme while EMPTY SPACE has been SUBSTITUTED)

This DROP OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING wave-field conjugate, leaving only the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING conjugate for our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS is the source of the DYSFUNCTION that is continually being built into our WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL DYNAMIC  For example, we speak of the CONSTRUCTION of the TOWN without mentioning the inevitable CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS and this is an example of the PERVASIVE ERROR in our WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING where we DROP OUT mention of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM and by such drop-out, imply that there is only the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING dynamic; e.g. the GROWING TOWN….!

There is NO SUCH THING as a GROWING TOWN because the reality is that what is going on is TRANSFORMING of the LANDSCAPE which includes the CONJUGATES of the GROWING TOWN and SHRINKING WILDERNESS.  This is a KILLER MISTAKE, the DROP OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING that is CONJUGATE with the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING.

This DROP OUT of the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE is what is SCREWING UP OUR WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE AND OUR UNDERSTANDING AND THIS IS WHAT IS PUTTING US ON A BUSTRIP TO HELL.  Regard how our over-simplistic BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM linguistic conceptualizations are SCREWING UP OUR UNDERSTANDING and THAT MEANS OUR ACTIONS AND RELATIONSHPS AS WELL.

CONSIDER THIS ONE DYSFUNCTIONAL MISUNDERSTANDING which is the mistaken notion of LOCAL AUTHOR of actions and development which is CONTRIVED by the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR as in I, DONALD TRUMP, MADE THIS HAPPEN!  No, there is no LOCAL AUTHORING, that is a DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR.   WE ARE INCLUDED IN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM, we are NOT constructing it on a piecemeal based, starting with our CONSTRUCTION OF THE TOWN.    This is NOT REAL.  What is happening is that there is TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPING and we are INCLUDED in this TRANSFORMATION.  “Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.”

The WESTERN CULTURE (MIS) UNDERSTANDING that WE ARE THE AUTHORS of THE CONSTRUCTION of the TOWN IS A BIG MISTAKE.  THERE IS NO SUCH THING as the CONSTRUCTION OF A TOWN since that PROPOSITION is RADICALLY INCOMPLETE in that it FAILS TO MENTION the CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS (or shrinking of NON-TOWN-FILLED SPACE.   If we claim to be able to see the GROWTH of the TOWN, then there must be a conjugate SHRINKING of the NON-TOWN region aka WILDERNESS region, in which case, what is REALLY HAPPENING is TRANSFORMATION of the LANDSCAPE and that is what the indigenous aboriginals would “SEE” and “DESCRIBE” in their VERB based linguistic conceptualizing scheme as with ‘THERE IS TOWNING IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE”.

HOW TO ESCAPE WESTERN CULTURE INTELLECTUAL ENTRAPMENT

 

If you have a history like myself, of being born and raised into WESTERN CULTURE INTELLECTUAL ENTRAPMENT, it is NOT TOO LATE for us to extricate ourselves from the state of INTELLECTUAL INFIRMITY that this puts us in.

 

As a TEST to check out whether you are suffering from this WESTERN CULTURE INTELLECTUAL ENTRAPMENT, ask yourself if you REALLY BELIEVE in the INDEPENDENCE OF YOUR NATION, which is one of the characteristics of WESTERN CULTURE INTELLECTUAL ENTRAPMENT wherein the abstract notion of IMAGINARY LINE BORDERS really do define the BOUNDARIES of INDEPENDENT NATIONS that support COMPETITIVE PRACTICES whereby each “INDEPENDENT NATION” is FREE TO CONSUME RESOURCES THAT ARE GLOBALLY “IN COMMON” and FREE TO DISPOSE OF WASTES INTO A RECEPTACLE that is “GLOBALLY IN-COMMON”, without challenging the INCONSISTENCY in UNLEASHING THE PEOPLE OF EACH “INDEPENDENT” NATION to “SUBOPTIMIZE” according their own LOCAL, INDEPENDENT NATION’S based GOALS, ASPIRATIONS and INTERESTS as if they REALLY WERE INDEPENDENT.

 

SO, this TEST is to ascertain whether WE (that ‘WE’ includes ALL OF US 195-DECLARED INDEPENDENT NATIONS SHARING OCCUPANCY OF THE EARTH) are SUPPORTING this EVIDENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST where, as DECLARATION-DEFINED INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ENTITIES … GRANT OUR NUMEROUS INDEPENDENT SELVES THE FREEDOM AND RIGHT TO CONSUME and DRAW FROM THE EARTH’S GLOBALLY INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT ATMOSPHERIC and OCEANIC RESOURCES according OUR OWN NEEDS as FREE AND INDEPENDENT NATIONS.

 

The LOGICAL FLAWS in these CONFLICTED POLICIES of INTELLECTUALLY DECLARED ‘INDEPENDENCE’ IN A SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED INTERCONNECTEDNESS and INTERDEPENDENCE are only just BEGINNING to ‘COME TO THE FORE’ with the admission of GLOBAL “INTER”-DEPENDENCE in the case of POLLUTION CREDITS.

 

IS THIS “TEST” which is already OPERATIVE NOT SUFFICIENT TO BRING DOWN THE WHOLE ‘HOUSE OF CARDS’ ILLUSION of “INDEPENDENT NATIONS”?  Modern physics has re-affirmed the indigenous aboriginal understanding of ‘mitakuye oyasin’ (everything is related).

 

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. … 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.

 

The UNREAL (INTELLECTUAL ABSTRACTION based) CONCEPT OF INDEPENDENCE OF PEOPLE and NATIONS was HISTORICALLY instigated by those trying to get out from under the clutches of KINGS and EMPERORS and others with the MINDSET that ‘COMMUNITY’ is a LEADERSHIP-IMPOSED THING-IN-ITSELF deriving from a SOCIAL CONTROL ORIENTED MINDSET rather than a NATURAL GATHERING-SCATTERING PHENOMENA.  Before the CLUSTER became a CLUSTER, it was a CLUSTERING, a GATHERING-SCATTERING phenomenon such as with ants animated by honey dripping from an overhead bees nest.  While there was CLUSTERING, there was no CLUSTER THING-IN-ITSELF until WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS chose to INCORPORATE what was a NATURAL GATHERING-SCATTERING BEHAVIOUR in which case the CLUSTER was nothing other than the imaginary ENVELOPE to the GATHERING-SCATTERING DYNAMIC, but which was later TAKEN OVER by homo sapiens preferring deliberate and disciplined FORMALIZED ORGANIZATION rather than the spontaneous gathering-scattering RESONANCE based CLUSTERING.

 

The ants that form clusters in the wild are informed by the complexity and diversity of the environment THEY ARE PARTICIPATES WITHIN; i.e. CLUSTERING INDUCED by honey dripping from an overhead bees nest is not equivalent to a ‘clustering instinct’ that is inbuilt into the ants regardless of the challenges that inductively shape behaviour in the wilds.  The ants DO NOT KNOW WHAT A CLUSTER IS AND THERE COOPERATING is SENSUAL and RELATIONAL rather than INTELLECTUAL AS WITH THE INTENT OF FORMING A CLUSTER whereby one’s ACTIONS are DRIVEN BY ONE’S INTERNAL THOUGHTS.   INSTEAD, the CLUSTERING is INDUCED by the COMPLEX THE ENVIRONMENTAL DYNAMIC that the ANTS are SITUATIONALLY INCLUDED IN.

 

But when HUMANS CIRCLE THE WAGONS to defend against the attack of BANDITS or WILD INDIANS, we could UNDERSTAND this coordinated action as INSIDE-OUTWARD INTELLECT-DRIVEN ACTION.  So, TO WHAT EXTENT is such seemingly intentionally driven and coordinated “GROUP ACTION” the product of INTERNAL INTELLECTUAL CALCULATIONS AND DRIVES and TO WHAT EXTENT are such ACTIONS (including the GROUPING PART) spontaneously INDUCED and given SHAPE AND FORM by the TRANSFORMING OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL DYNAMIC these individuals are included in.  I think we can probably agree that BOTH BEHAVIOUR-SHAPING INFLUENCES ARE AT PLAY HERE, the “OUTSIDE-INWARD INDUCED” spontaneous resonse  of the individual to the TRANSFORMING ENVIRONMENTAL DYNAMICS he/she is situationally included in, … AND ALSO, AT THE SAME TIME,… by his own INSIDE-OUTWARD ASSERTING calculated response based on INTELLECTUAL RATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF THE PERCEIVED UNFOLDING SITUATION.  

 

These TWO POSSIBLE BEHAVIOUR-SHAPING SOURCES OF INFLUENCE (SPONTANEOUS RELATIONAL SITUATION INDUCED and NONSPONTANEOUS INTELLECTUALLY CALCULATED) recall the aphorism “INSPIRATION fills the heart while EGO swells the head” which suggests that WESTERN CIVILIZATION may have TILTED the BALANCE “away” from our natural, inborn desire to co-cultivate the sustaining of relational harmony and shifted more towards the achievement of INTELLECTUALLY CALCULATED GOALS AND OBJECTIVES.

 

AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE FINDINGS OF MY PHILOSOPHICAL INVESTIGATIONS SUPPORT THOSE OF OTHER INVESTIGATORS WHO HAVE FOUND THAT WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING HAS FLATLY “DROPPED OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE of our WAVE-FIELD DYNAMIC and is proceeding under the power of “ONLY ONE CYLINDER”, the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING  conjugate, HENCE the reference to the DEA ABSCONDITA (Goddess in hiding).

 

We know that the SPONTANEOUS RESPONSE is ‘built in’ and PRECEDES INTELLECTUAL ANALYSIS so that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS can’t FULLY PROMOTE OUR OWN INTELLECTUAL ANALYSIS to the point of GETTING RID OF THE PULL OF THE SPONTANEOUS RESPONSE because if the child falls into the raging river and we are the only person who could possibly rescue her/him, we will experience such a POWERFUL KNEE-JERK (SPONTANEOUS) URGE TO RESCUE that it may OVER-RIDE our intellectual calculations that REJECT any response on our part that has life-threatening exposure.

 

Once again we see evidence of These TWO POSSIBLE BEHAVIOUR-SHAPING SOURCES OF INFLUENCE (SPONTANEOUS RELATIONAL SITUATION INDUCED and NONSPONTANEOUS INTELLECTUALLY CALCULATED) recall the aphorism “INSPIRATION fills the heart while EGO swells the head”

OK, LET’S NOT FORGET THE TITLE OF THIS NOTE; HOW TO ESCAPE WESTERN CULTURE INTELLECTUAL ENTRAPMENT

 

DO WE CONTINUE TO BELIEVE IN SUCH THINGS AS THE INDEPENDENCE OF NATIONS as ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC POLLUTION evidently pays not attention to the IMAGINARY LINE BOUNDARIES that DEFINE THE VERY ‘EXISTENCE’ (quote/unquote) of these ENTITIES that we all pay homage to (including indigenous aboriginals), thanks to our encouragement to doing so by having seen the INCARCERATION and EXECUTION of those who DID NOT PAY HOMAGE to them?

 

That is, do we continue to flagwave, shouting VIVA! TO ALL IMAGINARY LINE-DEFINED REALITIES!  HOW ARE WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS DOING SO FAR?

Here’s an indication from some of the best thinkers of our times.

“What we call ‘normal’ (in WESTERN CULTURE), is a product of repression, denial, splitting, projection, introjection and other forms of destructive action on experience” — R.D. Laing

“Psychosis is the final outcome of all that is wrong with a culture. Coming to intense focus in the parents, the cultural ills are transmitted to their children, laying the foundation for insanity.1”  —  Jules Henry “Culture Against Man’

 

“The function of education has never been to free the mind and the spirit of man, but to bind them…acquiescence, not originality. …Schools are the central conserving force of the culture. … In order not to fail, most people are willing to believe anything and to care not whether what they are told is true or false.  Only by remaining absurd can one feel free from fear of failure.” —  Jules Henry, cultural anthropologist, in ‘Culture Against Man’

 

 

“It is Henry’s contention that in practice education has never been an instrument to free the mind and the spirit of man, but to bind them. … Children do not give up their innate imagination, curiousity, dreaminess easily. You have to love them to get them to do that. Love is the path through permissiveness to discipline; and through discipline, only too often, to betrayal of self.”  — R. D. Laing, Psychiatrist and philosopher

 

 

“The justice which in itself is natural and universal, is otherwise and more nobly ordered, than that other justice, which is special, national, and constrained to the ends of government.”  — Michel de Montaigne

 

 

“They are playing a game.  They are playing at not playing a game.  If I show them I see they are, I shall break the rules and they will punish me.  I must play their game, of not seeing I see the game.”  —  R.D. Laing (Knots)

 

“School is an institution for drilling children in cultural  orientation. …American classrooms, like educational institutions anywhere express the values, preoccupations,and fears found in the culture as a whole. School has no choice; it must train the children to fit the culture as it is. …Since education is always against some things and for others, it bears the burden of the cultural obsessions. …It thus comes about that most educational systems are imbued with anxiety and hostility, that they are against as many things as they are for. … The function of education has never been to free the mind and the spirit of man, but to bind them…acquiescence, not originality. …Schools are the central conserving force of the culture.”  —  Jules Henry, Culture Against Man

 

“The great perplexity of our time, the churning of our age, is that the youth have sensed — for better or for worse — a great social-historical truth: that just as there are useless self-sacrifices in unjust wars, so too is there an ignoble heroics of whole societies: it can be the viciously destructive heroics of Hitler’s Germany or the plain debasing and silly heroics of the acquisition and display of consumer goods, the piling up of money and privileges that now characterizes whole ways of life, capitalist and Soviet.”  — Ernest Becker, ‘Denial of Death’

 

“Boris had trouble reducing ’12/16′ to the lowest terms, and could only get as far as ‘6/8’. The teacher asked him quietly if that was as far as he could reduce it. She suggested he ‘think’. Much heaving up and down and waving of hands by the other children, all frantic to correct him. Boris pretty unhappy, probably mentally paralysed. The teacher, quiet, patient, ignores the others and concentrates with look and voice on Boris. She says, ‘Is there a bigger number than two you can divide into the two parts of the fraction? After a minute or two, she becomes more urgent, but there is no response from Boris. She then turns to the class and says, ‘Well, who can tell Boris what the number is?’ A forest of hands appears, and the teacher calls Peggy. Peggy says that four may be divided into the numerator and the denominator.  Thus Boris’ failure has made it possible for Peggy to succeed; his depression is the price of her exhilaration; his misery the occasion for her rejoicing. This is the standard condition of the American elementary school, and is why so many of us feel a contraction of the heart even if someone we never knew succeeds merely at garnering plankton in the Thames: because so often somebody’s success has been bought at the cost of our failure. To a Zuni, Hopi or Dakota Indian, Peggy’s performance would seem cruel beyond belief, for competition, the wringing of success from somebody’s failure, is a form of torture foreign to those non-competitive redskins. Yet Peggy’s action seems natural to us; and so it is. How else would you run our world? And since all but the brightest children have the constant experience that others succeed at their expense they cannot but develop an inherent tendency to hate, to hate others who are successful, and to be determined to prevent it. Along with this, naturally, goes the hope that others will fail. This hatred masquerades under the euphemistic name of ‘envy’.”—  Jules Henry, ‘Culture Against Man’

 

Evidently, some of us who study the different cultures of the world give low marks to WESTERN CULTURE.  From a SYSTEMS SCIENCE point of view, it has been noted that WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are taking their own DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE “SERIOUSLY!” in spite of the SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED OBVIOUSNESS of the INTERCONNECTEDNESS and INTERDEPENDENCE of our “INDEPENDENT” NATIONS.    We have this assessment from the SYSTEMS SCIENCE;

“The above aphorism (The Name of the Devil is Suboptimization’), 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‐reductionist 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)

The above observations are reaffirmed by many of us who are tired of staying silent about these REAL SENSE-EXPERIENCE GROUNDED CRITIQUES OF WESTERN CULTURE

We are tired of the continuing NORMAL as Ronald Laing points out wherein; “What we call ‘normal’ is a product of repression, denial, splitting, projection, introjection and other forms of destructive action on experience”.

 

SHALL WE TALK A BIT ABOUT WHERE THE SCREWED UP WESTERN CULTURE ‘NORMAL’ IS COMING FROM?

 

We are living in a WAVE-FIELD but we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are using LANGUAGE (that is, a LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME) that is DROPPING OUT the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE which is the equivalent of the WAVE-TROUGH which HOLDERS EVERYTHING TOGETHER (i.e. it is the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT aspect of the WAVE-DYNAMIC, and we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have designed our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME in a manner that DROPS OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING WAVE-FIELD CONJUGATE and SUBSTITUTES IN ITS PLACE, ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE, leaving behind as the full and sole source of ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT, the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING WAVE FIELD CONJUGATE which supports the LOCAL and EXPLICIT while ignoring (dropping out) the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (the energy-charged plenum).

 

WAIT A MINUTE!  WHAT DID BOHM SAY?  “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)

 

SOME FOLKS GOT IT RIGHT!  The indigenous aboriginals with their STRANDS IN THE WEB metaphor have captured in their linguistic conceptualizing scheme the NONBINARY complexity of the BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM (the including medium is the energy-charged PLENUM which corresponds to THE WEB and included in the PLENUM are condensations that are in a BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM relationship with the PLENUM, as is ALSO THE RELATIONSHIP of the STRANDS IN THE WEB; the STRAND is BOTH itself AND the WEB it is included in

 

“Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.” (Chief Seattle)

“Space is not empty.  It is full, a plenum as opposed to a vacuum, and is the ground for the existence of everything, including ourselves.” (David Bohm)

 

WHILE THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM IS THE WHOLE THING (incorporating both the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING and the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING in conjugate combination) which IS NONBINARY AND THUS DOES NOT SPLIT INTO TWO SEPARATE PARTS ALLOWING WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS TO TOSS OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING ‘PART’, WESTERN CULTURE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME HAS MADE A DOUBLE ERROR, the FIRST ERROR which SPLITS APART THE UNSPLITTABLE NONBINARY WAVE-FIELD STRUCTURE, … AS IF INTO TWO PARTS, the MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING ‘PEAK’ and the FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING ‘TROUGH’ and then WESTERN CULTURE FURTHER EMPLOYS A SECOND ERROR, THAT OF TOSSING OUT THE FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING CONJUGATE so that WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE LEFT WITH A LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME THAT CAN ONLY SPEAK OF ‘WHAT THINGS DO’ AS IF WITHIN A NON-PARTICIPATING, ABSOLUTE EMPTY AND INFINITE SPACE (NO MORE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, ONLY THE CONDENSATIONS which are NOT REAL but ONLY APPEARANCE (Schaumkommen).

 

THIS IS A MESS WHICH IS WHY  “What we call ‘normal’ (in WESTERN CULTURE), is a product of repression, denial, splitting, projection, introjection and other forms of destructive action on experience”

 

COME ON, LET’S GET REAL AGAIN.  “INDEPENDENT NATIONS?” … BULLSHIT!   But WESTERN CULTURE continues to hang on and people within it like DONALD TRUMP are picking up on that BULLSHIT and RUNNING WITH IT (taking it to ever more absurd limits).  ONCE ONE HAS A GOODLY PORTION OF 340 MILLION PEOPLE AS SUPPORTERS who are buying into the BULLSHIT NOTION of INDEPENDENT NATIONS THE FAT ONES FEEL ENTITLED TO ROLL OVER ON AND CRUSH THE LITTLE NATIONS on the based that ALL NATIONS ARE INDEPENDENT, which means that what each INDEPENDENT NATION IS FULLY AND SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS AND ACHIEVEMENTS regardless of whether they are mouse size and sleeping in the same bed with ELEPHANTS.  The US, as an INDEPENDENT NATION can on that basis justify MAKING ITS OWN INDEPENDENT PLANS OF ACTION since, being an INDEPENDENT NATION, what it does is FULLY AND SOLELY ITS OWN BUSINESS and those OTHER INDEPENDENT NATIONS, including the teenie-tiny ones, are fully and solely responsible for their own WELL-BEING, that’s what INDEPENDENCE IS ALL ABOUT..

 

NOW, IF IT WERE THE CASE, INSTEAD THAT EVERYONE AND ALL NATIONS ARE INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT rather than INDEPENDENT, then we and our WESTERN CULTURE SOCIAL SYSTEM HAVE A PROBLEM and calling up HOUSTON TO SAY THAT WE HAVE A PROBLEM and HAVING DONALD TRUMP ANSWER THE CALL, IS NOT GOING TO HELP because he is HEAVY into the GAME OF LOCAL INDEPENDENT NATION based SUBOPTIMIZATION, which as the SYSTEMS SCIENCES point out is inappropriate, conflict‐generating and dysfunctional in a world characterized by global interconnectedness and mutual interdependence

REFLECTIONS ON THE ABOVE COMMENTS/CRITIQUE of WESTERN CULTURE

 

One might sum up the core issue in this critique of WESTERN CULTURE by noting OUR WESTERN CULTURE’S seeming INABILITY to acknowledge the following;

“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

What we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have to LET GO OF in order to get to this understanding (which builds from the NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDUM) is “BINARY LOGIC”.

LETTING GO OF BINARY LOGIC is a HUGE DEAL for WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS,   We can’t understand ourselves as a STRAND IN THE WEB OF LIFE without letting go of BINARY LOGIC.  In order to understand ourself as a STRAND IN THE WEB OF LIFE and thus ‘become one with everything’ or in other words, open up to the understanding of reality wherein “subject and object are only one”.

AS a STRAND IN THE WEB OF LIFE or as a CONDENSATION OF THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM we are INCLUSIONS in the world in a NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM SENSE as with the STRAND IN THE WEB and/or the CONDENSATION of the PLENUM, in which case;

The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.” …Erwin Schroedinger

 

While Modern physics supports the indigenous aboriginal NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM understanding that we are INCLUDED in the WAVE-FIELD as strands in the WEB, WESTERN CULTURE continues to embrace BINARY LOGIC conceptualizations such as ‘the world is mine oyster’ (Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor) and the BIBLE

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

 

One would have to say that the more popular understanding in WESTERN CULTURE is that we HUMANS are SPECIAL and ENTITLED (the world is our oyster) which implies the usual BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM with its SUBJECT-OBJECT SPLIT which is simpler than the NONBINARY STRAND IN THE WEB (interconnected and interdependent BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM relation), an understanding that is supported by MODERN PHYSICS (i.e. the CONDENSATIONS of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM have the same NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM relation.
