WHO IS IN CHARGE OF OVERSEEING THE CORRECTNESS OF THE LANGUAGE WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE USING?

 

WHOEVER IT IS, I HAVE A COMPLAINT: because WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE BEING STUCK WITH A “TOO-SIMPLE AND UNREALISTIC” BEING-BASED LANGUAGE WHILE INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS AND MODERN PHYSICS USERS “LUCKED OUT” WITH THEIR POPULARIZED USE OF “LESS SIMPLE AND MORE REALISTIC” VERB-BASED LANGUAGE which addresses the fact that EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX (as Heraclitus correctly observed and Modern physics has affirmed)..

 

WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, BECAUSE OF OUR TOO SIMPLE “BEING-BASED LANGUAGE” ARE CONFRONTED WITH THE ISSUE THAT HERACLITUS ADDRESSED BUT WHICH WESTERN CULTURE, BY FOLLOWING THE SIMPLIFIED “BEING-BASED LANGUAGE” DESIGN OF PARMENIDES, CONTINUES TO SCREW-UPON.  THE FACT IS THAT IT IS A SCREW-UP TO GIVE A FOUNDATIONAL ROLE TO “BEING” IN LANGUAGE DESIGN BECAUSE, FOR EXAMPLE, BY ASSIGNING THE “BEING-BASED” NAMES “MOUNTAIN AND VALLEY” to those familiar features, rather than going with VERBS such as MOUNTAINING and VALLEYING, WE OPEN THE DOOR TO STATEMENTS SUCH AS “THE AVALANCHE CRASHED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN AND CAME TO REST IN THE VALLEY BELOW”, … THUS OPENING THE CAN OF WORMS THAT “THE MOUNTAIN IS NO LONGER THE SAME MOUNTAIN AND THE VALLEY IS NO LONGER THE SAME VALLEY”.

 

We recognize in this, Heraclitus’ “EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX” observation; “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.”

 

EVERY TIME WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS USE INCOMPLETE-BECAUSE BEING-BASED LANGUAGE SUCH AS “THE AVALANCHE CRASHED DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE”, we are INTRODUCING THE CONFUSION that comes with GOEDEL’S THEOREM of the “INCOMPLETENESS OF ALL FINITE LOGICAL PROPOSITIONS”, … and the INCOMPLETENESS is that WHILE OUR POSITIVE (ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING) STATEMENT IS “TRUE”, it is as the same time “INCOMPLETE” because it is IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE AN AVALANCHE CRASH DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE WITHOUT LEAVING A BIG HOLE  IN THE MOUNTAINSIDE SUCH THAT “THE MOUNTAIN IS NO LONGER THE SAME MOUNTAIN”.

 

BY USING A “BEING” BASED LANGUAGE IN A REALITY WHEREIN EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX, WE ARE INTRODUCING WHAT NIETZSCHE CALLS “THE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR” which  SIMULATES “UNREAL LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTION AND DEVELOPMENT” in a world where our SENSE-EXPERIENCE IS INFORMING US THAT EVERYTHING IS INCONTINUING FLUX SO THAT IT IS A MISTAKE TO DESIGN OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME WITH “THE BUILT-IN LOCAL AUTHORING FALSEHOOD”.   WE ARE LIVING WITHIN AN ALL-INCLUDING TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM WHEREIN “EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX” WHEREIN…. THERE IS NO “LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT”.

 

THAT WE LIVE WITHIN A TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM IS THE UNDERSTANDING OF MODEN PHYSICS and OF INDIGENOUS ABORIGINALS, TAOISTS AND ADVAITA VEDANTA ADHERENTS, …. BUT, FOR US WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS,…WE HAVE CHOSEN TO DEVELOP A LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING SCHEME THAT SIMPLIFIES AND REDUCES OUR REAL SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED REALITY, … TO AN UNREAL INTELLECTUAL ABSTRACTION BASED PSEUDO-REALITY GROUNDED IN THE BINARY LOGIC BASED CONCEPT OF “BEING” THAT SUPPORTS THE BOGUS CONCEPT OF “LOCAL AUTHORING” WHICH WE USE TO CREATE A “FRAGMENTED, BEING-BASED PSEUDO-REALITY”, A BOGUS PSEUDO-REALITY THAT HAS “TAKEN OVER” AND IS NOW SHAPING WESTERN CULTURE IMPRESSIONS OF WHAT WE PURPORT TO BE “REALITY” WHICH IS “NOT REALITY” BUT A FRAGMENTATION BASED SUBSTITUTE PSEUDO-REALITY.

 

 

 

1 FRAGMENTATION AND WHOLENESS  (from Wholeness and the Implicate Order by David Bohm)

 

The title of this chapter is ‘Fragmentation and wholeness’. It is especially important to consider this question today, for fragmentation is now very widespread, not only throughout society, but also in each individual; and this is leading to a kind of general confusion of the mind, which creates an endless series of problems and interferes with our clarity of perception so seriously as to prevent us from being able to solve most of them.

 

Thus art, science, technology, and human work in general, are divided up into specialities, each considered to be separate in essence from the others. Becoming dissatisfied with this state of affairs, men have set up further interdisciplinary subjects, which were intended to unite these specialities, but these new subjects have ultimately served mainly to add further separate fragments. Then, society as a whole has developed in such a way that it is broken up into separate nations and different religious, political, economic, racial groups, etc. Man’s natural environment has correspondingly been seen as an aggregate of separately existent parts, to be exploited by different groups of people. Similarly, each individual human being has been fragmented into a large number of separate and conflicting compartments, according to his different desires, aims, ambitions, loyalties, psychological characteristics, etc., to such an extent that it is generally accepted that some degree of neurosis is inevitable, while many individuals going beyond the ‘normal’ limits of fragmentation are classified as paranoid, schizoid, psychotic, etc.

 

WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE NOW COMMONLY USING THE UNREAL LINGUISTIC ABSTRACTION OF “LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS”, FABRICATED USING THE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR, AS “THE OPERATIVE REALITY” even though it is a NON-EXISTENT PSEUDO-REALITY based on the ABSTRACT NOTION OF “LOCAL, EXPLICIT MATERIAL BEINGS” which has NO PLACE IN THE REAL WORLD OF OUR SENSE-EXPERIENCE WHEREIN EVERYTHING IS IN CONTINUAL TRANFORMING FLUX.  SO, YES, THERE ARE SUCH DEVELOPMENTS AS “TOWNINGS IN THE TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE” WHEREIN EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX, BUT ONLY IN THE ABSTRACTION BASED WORLD OF WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING ARE THERE “TOWNS”, NOTIONAL “LOCAL, EXPLICIT THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES” notionally with THEIR OWN GRAMMAR-GIVEN “LOCAL AUTHORING POWERS” of “GROWTH”, “DEVELOPMENT” and “PRODUCTION of GOODS”.  NO! NO! NO!    BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX IN THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM, WHILE THERE IS TOWNING AS A DYNAMIC FEATURE (LIKE WHORLINGS IN FLOWING), THERE ARE NO LOCAL, EXPLICIT “THINGS-IN-THEMSELVES” “TOWNS” WITH THEIR OWN NOTIONAL POWERS OF LOCAL AUTHORING OF ACTIONS SUCH AS “GROWING”, “DEVELOPMENT” AND “PRODUCING”.

 

WHEREVER WE USE THIS KIND OF LANGUAGE WHICH IS ALL ONE-SIDED MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING BASED (E.G. GROWING, DEVELOPING AND PRODUCING), THERE IS “ALWAYS, AT THE SAME TIME, CONJUGATE SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS, AGING AND DECAY OF PRIOR CONSTRUCTION, AND CONSUMPTION OF PRIOR PRODUCTION, I.E. NOT AS TWO SEPARATE DYNAMICS  OF (A) MALE ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING (GROWING, DEVELOPING AND PRODUCING), AND (B) FEMALE ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING SHRINKING OF WILDERNESS, DECAY OF PRIOR CONSTRUCTION AND CONSUMPTION OF PRIOR PRODUCTION, … BUT AS ONE COMPLEX (ANDROGYNOUS) DYNAMIC WHERE ‘GROWTH’ AND ‘DECAY’ ARE FLIP SIDES OF A SINGLE COINAGE THAT WE KNOW AS “TRANSFORMATION” WHERE THE NEW GROWTH DOES NOT WAIT FOR THE ‘OLD GROWTH’ TO ‘DIE OUT’ PRIOR TO ‘TAKING OVER’.   IN TRANSFORMATION, THE NEW AND THE OLD ARE FLIP SIDES OF A SINGLE COINAGE.  VOLCANIC EXTRUSIONS ARE OUTFLOWS THAT ARE GROWING THE EXTERIOR OF THE EARTH WHILE INTRUSIVE SUBDUCTIONS ARE REPLACING WHAT IS BEING REMOVED BY THE EXTRUSIONS …. ALL WITHIN ONE SINGLE COMPOUND DYNAMIC CALLED ‘TRANSFORMATION’.

 

MEANWHILE, WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS FALL INTO A TRAP in regard to our approach to THINKING, THAT DISTINGUISHES “WEST” (Jews, Christians and Muslims) from “EAST” (indigenous aboriginals, Taoists/Buddhists, Advaita Vedanta adherents and MODERN PHYSICS).  The difference in understanding comes from the respective practices of “WEST” and “EAST” wherein, while “EAST” understands EXTRUSIONS and SUBDUCTIONS as CONJUGATE ASPECTS of the ONE DYNAMIC OF TRANSFORMATION, “WEST” understanding EXTRUSIONS and SUBDUCTIONS as TWO SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT DYNAMICS.

 

This difference in understanding THE BASIC DYNAMICS OF THE WORLD, which we use as the foundation our LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING of the WORLD, shows up in HOW WE TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO CONCEIVE OF THE WORLD.  For example, as Vygotsky points out, Piaget supports teaching our children to understand the world in a purely mechanical sense.  Vygotsky writes the following;

 

“Though fundamentally different in nature, the development of scientific [local and explicit] and spontaneous [nonlocal and implicit] concepts represents two sides of the same concept formation”   implying a WAVE-BASED STRUCTURE.

 

 

“Our disagreement with Piaget centers on one point only, but an important point. He assumes that development and instruction are entirely separate, incommensurate processes, that the function of instruction is merely to introduce adult ways of thinking, which conflict with the child’s own and eventually supplant them. Such a supposition stems from the old psychological tradition of separating the structural from the functional aspects of development.” –Vygotsky

 

“We believe that the two processes —the development of spontaneous and of nonspontaneous concepts — are related and constantly influence one another.  They are parts of a single process:  the development of concept formation, which is affected by varying external and internal conditions but is essentially a unitary process, not a conflict of antagonistic, mutually exclusive forms of thinking.”  — Vygotsky; p. 157  in “Thought and Language”.

 

 

Vygotsky’s finding is thus that ‘learning’ has a conjugate structure wherein the SPONTANEOUS and NONSPONTANEOUS ONLY EXIST AS MUTUALLY INTERDEPENDENT CONJUGATES in which case IT MAKES NO SENSE TO DO AS PIAGET DOES WHICH IS TO MAKE THE ‘DOUBLE ERROR’ of (FIRST ERROR) SPLITTING THE CONJUGATES INTO TWO SEPARATE PARTS and (SECOND ERROR), DROPPING OUT THE SPONTANEOUS and USING ONLY THE SCIENTIFIC as if it EXISTED ON ITS OWN WHICH I DOES NOT; i.e. the WAVE is composed of the conjugate combination of PEAK and TROUGH  which, like SCIENTIFIC and SPONTANEOUS are CONJUGATES so that to SIMPLIFY OUR LANGUAGE by DROPPING OUT THE SPONTANEOUS and going with the SCIENTIFIC ON ITS OWN (WHEN IT DOES NOT EXIST “ON ITS OWN”) IS A SERIOUS ERROR.

 

if we treat the growth of the town (which is just the male part of the transforming of the landscape) as real, then we are implying that the conjugate shrinking of the wilderness exists in its own right and that these two dynamics can be dealt with separately in which case it is OK to focus on GROWTH of the TOWN on its own.   BUT IN REALITY, WE ARE NOT SIMPLY “INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE TOWN”, because of the conjugate relation, we are simultaneously SHRINKING THE WILDERNESS in which case the overall PHYSICALLY REAL DYNAMIC is the TRANSFORMING OF THE LANDSCAPE which comprehends BOTH the GROWTH of the TOWN together with (in conjugate relation with) the SHRINKING of WILDERNESS.  In this case WE ARE MISTAKEN TO SPEAK OF THE GROWTH OF THE TOWN AS IF ON ITS OWN BECAUSE THAT IS NOT REALITY.  The REALITY is THE TRANSFORMINING OF THE LANDSCAPE.

WHO IS IN CHARGE OF OVERSEEING THE CORRECTNESS OF THE LANGUAGE WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE USING?

 

LOOKOUT WESTERN CULTURE FOLKS!      BECAUSE “YOU” (WHICH MEANS “ME TOO”) ARE PLAYING OURSELVES FOR FOOLS.  As HITLER reasoned in regard to “THE BIG LIE”,… if we AS LEADERS MAKE THE LIE BIG ENOUGH, NO-ONE IN OUR GROUP OF FOLLOWERS WILL HAVE THE TEMERITY TO CHALLENGE IT, and IN THE CASE OF US MODERN, CURRENT DAY WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, we are even capable of putting up with the PAIN of FRAGMENTATION which comes from “OUR OWN LIE OF LOCAL AUTHORING” where FIRST OF ALL, we “DECLARE OURSELVES TO BE INDEPENDENT” USING THE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR WHICH ESTABLISHES OURSELVES, FIGURATIVELY, AS OUR OWN LOCAL AUTHORS OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS.  This LOCAL AUTHORING CLAIM IS CRAZY but THE EGO LOVES TO GO ALONG WITH SUCH HEAD-SWELLING LIES, … the hubris of which blocks all challenges from the many physical (sense-experience grounded) reminders that we are living in a world of INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE, which is in BLUNT CONFLICT WITH OUR WESTERN CULTURE PROUDLY AFFIRMED ‘DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE”.  These DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE FLY IN THE FACE OF our indigenous aboriginals insistence that “EVERYTHING IS RELATED” (mitakuye oyasin), as in “INTERCONNECTED and INTERDEPENDENT” which Modern physics ALSO affirms with the understanding that all material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the all-including ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM.

 

“DECLARATIONS OF INDEPENDENCE” ARE A SCAM!   THEY ARE THE SOURCE OF FRAGMENTATION AND ASSOCIATED STRIFE. THEY LEAD DIRECTLY TO THE DYSFUNCITON OF “SUBOPTIMIZATION” .

 

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)

 

WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE NOT GOT GETTING RID OF “THE BIG LIE” BECAUSE WE ARE USING IT AS THE FOUNDATION FOR OUR OWN EGO-INFLATING (FALSE) CLAIM OF HAVING OUR OWN POWERS OF AUTHORING ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS based on the DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING and GRAMMAR..

 

AGAIN,  …. WHO IS IN CHARGE OF OVERSEEING THE CORRECTNESS OF THE LANGUAGE WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS ARE USING?

 

WHY DON’T WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS HAVE A LANGUAGE THAT MAKES SENSE IN THE MANNER OF INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL LANGUAGES COMMENDED BY DAVID BOHM AND OTHERS FOR ITS FLOW-BASED STRUCTURE WHICH AVOIDS THE BULLSHIT NOTION OF “LOCAL AUTHORING”?

 

THE ANSWER TO WHY WE ARE UNABLE TO MAKE THE NEEDED CHANGES TO OUR LANGUAGE TO GET RID OF THE FRAGMENTATIVE NOTION OF “LOCAL AUTHORING”, HAS BEEN CITED IN “SYSTEMS SCIENCES” TERMS AS BEING DUE TO “LOCK-IN BY HIGH SWITCHING COSTS”.

 

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?  IT MEANS IN OUR WESTERN CULTURE CASE THAT “OUR HAVING IMPLEMENTED THE FALSE NOTION OF LOCAL AUTHORING” HAS CREATED A POWERFUL LEADERSHIP CLASS OF “LOCAL AUTHORS” WHO WE HAVE REWARDED AND RECOGNIZED AND PROMOTED TO THE STATUS OF “GUARDIANS OF CHANGE” TO OUR NOW WELL-ESTABLISHED “LOCAL AUTHORING” BASED REWARDS AND PUNISHMENTS PROGRAMS.  THESE PROGRAMS HAVE LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A “LOCAL AUTHORING HIGH ACHIEVER LEADERSHIP CLASS”, that is SELF-SUSTAINING so that “LOCAL AUTHORING ACHIEVEMENT” PERSISTS AS THE PRIMARY QUALIFICATION FOR LEADERSHIP ROLES IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURS OF OUR WESTERN CUTURE SOCIAL COLLECTIVES.

 

DAMAGE CONTROL!

 

THE USE OF “LOCAL AUTHORING ACHIEVEMENT” HAS BEEN THE BASIS FOR THE FILLING THE ‘MANAGEMENT RANKS” OF WESTERN CULTURE ORGANIZATIONS WHICH IS A RECIPE FOR SUSTAINED SOCIAL DYSFUNCTION SINCE “LOCAL AUTHORING” IS A BOGUS CONCEPT BASED ON THE DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR.   FOR EXAMPLE, in the OIL COMPANY, the brand-new MANAGER that is appointed during the DRILLING OF A WILDCAT that makes a huge OIL DISCOVERY is given credit for managing A LOCAL, EXPLICIT ACTION and EVENT, however, the overall team of geologists and geophysicists and drillers etc. works for many years, learning from drilling one ‘dry hole’ after another which supplies information for a CONTINUING DETECTIVE STORY that is steadily HOMING IN ON THE MOTHER LOAD.  In other words, the PROCESS of DISCOVERING OIL is NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT and the DISCOVERY ITSELF IS LOCAL and EXPLICIT.   THERE IS NO “LOCAL AUTHOR” since everything is in a NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT FLUX.   BUT IN THIS EXAMPLE, we can see that WESTERN CULTURE employs LANGUAGE that ASSIGNS LOCAL AUTHOR STATUS to “THE ONE HOLDING THE SMOKING GUN”

 

WHILE THE DYNAMICS OF SENSE-EXPERIENCE AFFIRMED REALITY IS NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT, THE “APPEARANCES” THAT WE USE FOR OUR LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS, ARE LOCAL and EXPLICIT

 

“Bohm felt that an effect could have an infinite number of causes. For example, if you asked someone what caused Abraham Lincoln’s death, they might answer that it was the bullet in John Wilkes Booth’s gun. But a complete list of all the causes that contributed to Lincoln’s death would have to include all of the events that led to the development of the gun, all of the factors that caused Booth to want to kill Lincoln, all of the steps in the evolution of the human race that allowed for the development of a hand capable of holding a gun, and so on, and so on. Bohm conceded that most of the time one could ignore the vast cascade of causes that had led to any given effect, but he still felt it was important for scientists to remember that no single cause-and-effect relationship was ever really separate from the universe as a whole.” – Michael Talbot, ‘The Holographic Universe’.

 

The REALITY IS THAT “THE LOCAL AUTHOR CONCEPT IS BULLSHIT” that is PUT TOGETHER USING THE “DOUBLE ERROR OF NAMING AND GRAMMAR”  

 

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.

 

In its origin language belongs in the age of the most rudimentary form of psychology. We enter a realm of crude fetishism when we summon before consciousness the basic presuppositions of the metaphysics of language, in plain talk, the presuppositions of reason. Everywhere it sees a doer and doing; it believes in will as the cause; it believes in the ego, in the ego as being, in the ego as substance, and it projects this faith in the ego-substance upon all things — only thereby does it first create the concept of “thing.” Everywhere “being” is projected by thought, pushed underneath, as the cause; the concept of being follows, and is a derivative of, the concept of ego. In the beginning there is that great calamity of an error that the will is something which is effective, that will is a faculty. Today we know that it is only a word.” – Nietzsche, ‘Twilight of the Idols’

 

 

WE CAN SEE THE GENERAL PATTERN OF SCREW-UP THAT COMES WITH THE FALSE NOTION OF “LOCAL AUTHORING” IN THE EXAMPLE OF THE OIL DISCOVERY EXAMPLE.  THE REALITY IS THAT THINGS ARE ALWAYS NONLOCAL AND IMPLICIT IN ORIGIN.  THAT IS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TRANSFORMING RELATIONAL CONTINUUM.  LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATION IS CAPABLE OF, AND IS USED TO “REDUCE” THE NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT unfolding source TO THE LOCAL AND EXPLICIT material expression. (the STRAND IN THE WEB RELATION IN INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL UNDERSTANDING and the CONDENSATION IN THE PLENUM RELATION IN MODERN PHYSICS).

 

The POINT TO REMEMBER is that while the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT is the REALITY, the LOCAL and EXPLICIT is only APPEARANCE or Schaumkommen in Schroedinger’s language.

 

YES, John Wilkes Booth shot and killed Lincoln which is the LOCAL and EXPLICIT “APPEARANCE” aspect but in indigenous aboriginal RESTORATIVE JUSTICE, the understanding would be that it is the IMBALANCE in the dynamic of the social collective that is the BASIC PROBLEM that PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE (elimination of the one holding the smoking gun) CANNOT ADDRESS.   RESTORATIVE JUSTICE ORIENTS to the resolving of the NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT (relational) origin of the LOCAL and EXPLICIT EVENT.

FOOTNOTE: The ZEN REJECTION OF BEING-BASED LANGUAGE:

Alan Watts dedicated a lot of time and energy in trying to share with WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, the basic SHORTFALL that is BUILT IN to the CONCEPTUALIZATIONS WE CONSTRUCT with “BEING”-BASED LANGUAGE and the familiar use of what Nietzsche has called the “DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR which implies the FALSE IMPRESSION of LOCAL AUTHORING, the source of FRAGMENTATION in WESTERN CULTURE LANGUAGE AND THOUGHT.

 

As soon as one sees that separate things are fictitious, it becomes obvious that nonexistent things cannot “perform” actions. …(e.g. “TOWNS CANNOT GROW” but there can be TOWNINGS in the TRANSFORMING LANDSCAPE)The difficulty is that most languages are arranged so that actions (verbs) have to be set in motion by things (nouns), and we forget that rules of grammar are not necessarily rules, or patterns, of nature. This, which is nothing more than a convention of grammar, is also responsible for (or, better, “goes with”) absurd puzzles as to how spirit governs matter, or mind moves body. How can a noun, which is by definition not action, lead to action?” —Alan Watts, ‘Book on the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are’

 

The PROBLEM WITH WESTERN CULTURE LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZATIONS that we are using to share our sense-experiences, instead of conveying the actual (sense-experience affirmable) INTERCONNECTEDNESS and INTERDEPENDENCE of the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM in which we ourselves are CONDENSATIONS, are instead conveying the INTELLECTUAL ABSTRACTION of a BEING-BASED world of DISCONNECTEDNESS constituted by NOUN-instantiated INDEPENDENT BEINGS with GRAMMAR-GIVEN POWERS of their LOCAL AUTHORING of ACTIONS and DEVELOPMENT AS IF IN AN EMPTY AND INFINITE SPATIAL PLAYING FIELD.

The SIMPLIFICATION that comes with SWAPPING INDEPENDENT MATERIAL OBJECTS IN EMPTY SPACE for CONDENSATIONS IN THE ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM COMES AT THE PRICE OF LOSING the INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE that is inherent with CONDENSATIONS in the ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM, but what has been GAINED is the SIMPLICITY that comes with BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the “EXCLUDED” MEDIUM that we are SUBSTITUTING for the innately LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the “INCLUDING MEDIUM”

The LESS SIMPLE (RELATIONALLY INTERCONNECTED AND INTERDEPENDENT) PLENUM based LINGUISTIC CONCEPTUALIZING APPROACH, BECAUSE IT ACKNOWLEDGES REAL-WORLD INTERCONNECTIONS and INTERDEPENDENCIES, has been the CONCEPTUALIZATION OF CHOICE of indigenous aboriginals, Taoists, Buddhists (Zen) and Advaita Vedanta adherents.   This conceptualizing approach IS BASED ON NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM (acknowledging that material forms are CONDENSATIONS of the all-including energy-charged PLENUM which is characterized by INTERCONNECTION and INTERDEPENDENCE of all CONDENSATIONS.

The SIMPLER DISCONNECTED MATERIAL BEINGS IN EMPTY SPACE CONCEPTUALIZATION is SIMPLER due to its SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the “EXCLUDED MEDIUM” DESIGN which supports a SIMPLER GRAMMAR due to the imputed PASSIVE NATURE of the CONTAINING REALM which in this BINARY LOGIC based case is EMPTY SPACE rather than the LESS SIMPLE but more REALISTIC ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM which invokes NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM (i.e. the energy-charged PLENUM “INCLUDES” the MATERIAL CONDENSATIONS so that there are NO MOVING PARTS, there is only the TRANSFORMING WHOLE/PLENUM wherein the ASSERTING/ACTUALIZING is always in CONJUGATE RELATION with the ACCOMMODATING/ENABLING as in the WAVE-FIELD DYNAMIC where the ASSERTIVE PUSHING of the PEAK and the ACCOMMODATING ENABLING of the TROUGH DO NOT EXIST SEPARATELY, “ON THEIR OWN’, as we know from swimming in the ocean, they are OPPOSITE SIDES OF SINGLE PHENOMENON which is otherwise known as TRANSFORMATION of the SUPPORTING MEDIUM.

NEITHER THE PEAK NOR THE TROUGH CAN EXIST “ON ITS OWN” in which case, to speak of them requires LOGIC that is LESS SIMPLE than SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC of the EXCLUDED MEDIUM, because where everything is in flux, the PEAKING and TROUGHING are CONJUGATES of ONE AND THE SAME DYNAMIC which is TRANSFORMATION of the FLUID PLENUM as with CONDENSATIONS of the PLENUM and as with the PURELY RELATIVE DYNAMICS OF STRANDS IN A WEB where the MULTIPLE “COMPONENTS” (e.g. the STRANDS and/or the CONDENSATIONS) ARE, AT THE SAME TIME, THEIR OWN “INCLUDING CONTAINER”.

 

MODERN PHYSICS:   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 PLENUM is “BOTH” itself “AND” the PLENUM it is included in]

 

INDIGENOUS ABORIGINAL CULTURE: 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)

 

With this NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM where CONTENT and CONTAINER ARE ONE AS WITH WHORLINGS IN FLOWING, JUSTICE must be RESTORATIVE since it is the TENSIONS in the CONTAINING WEB  (SOCIAL COLLECTIVE) that drive the dynamics of CONTAINED STRANDS

 

The Indigenous aboriginal HEALING CIRCLE derives from this LESS SIMPLE but MORE RELEVANT REAL WORLD DYNAMIC captured in the STRAND-IN-THE-WEB structure wherein it is clear that WHILE THE STRAND IS VENTING VIOLENCE, the AUTHORING SOURCE OF THE VIOLENCE IS THE WEB.

WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS, MEANWHILE, CANNOT SIMPLY SWITCH BACK FROM SIMPLE BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC TO THE MORE CORRECT NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC OF THE INCLUDING MEDIUM because of the situation described in the Systems Sciences as “LOCKED-IN BY HIGH SWITCHING COSTS”.  In this particular case, it is evident that WESTERN CULTURE has “BUILT BINARY LOGIC INTO THE SOCIAL SYSTEM” using a REWARDS and PUNISHMENTS APPROACH so that complex HIERARCHICAL STRUCTURES have been progressively evolving to the point that the RESTORING of LESS SIMPLE NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM WILL ENTAIL MAJOR CHANGES in the SOCIAL RELATIONAL PECKING ORDER AND ASSOCIATED REWARDING AND PUNISHING PRACTICES THAT ARE BASED ON BINARY EITHER/OR LOGIC OF THE EXCLUDED MEDIUM.

Consider the fact that NONBINARY BOTH/AND LOGIC of the INCLUDING MEDIUM (as associates with CONDENSATIONS OF THE ALL-INCLUDING ENERGY-CHARGED PLENUM) SUPPORTS THE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE APPROACH since the understanding is that AUTHORING OF ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT IS NONLOCAL and IMPLICIT while the WESTERN CULTURE IMPRESSION of LOCAL, EXPLICIT AUTHORING is only “APPEARANCE” (Schaumkommen in Schroedinger’s language).

This understanding gives rise to RESTORATIVE JUSTICE to be used INSTEAD of WESTERN CULTURE “PURIFICATIONIST JUSTICE” which employs REWARDING AND PUNISHING ON THE BASIS OF LOCAL, EXPLICIT AUTHORING.   As Nietzsche pointed out, the mistaken abstraction of LOCAL AUTHORING derives from the combination of SIMPLE BINARY LOGIC together with the DOUBLE ERROR of NAMING and GRAMMAR; e.g. THE TOWN IS GROWING, which, while TRUE, is INCOMPLETE (Goedel’s Theorem) since it fails to acknowledge the CONJUGATE SHRINKING of WILDERNESS.
