or how to navigate the perceived chaos (- of my writings )
As mentioned before, a simple perceptual correction can ‘elevate the viewpoint‘ and give us
a more complex understanding of a situation or problematic.
This can give system analyses a total different meaning and open-up a more multidimensional ‘reality‘.
Sometimes we seem to be so close to IT, but, like other brilliant thinkers,
we feel trapped in the algorithm & flowcharts of the linear paradigm.
But most of these sophisticated formulas & equations just follow the principles of duality & physics,
and only make sense in the realm of corporeality & technology.
Unfortunately the inherent, emotional/sensory interconnectivity2 with our environment
has been concealed from us for generations.
Enshrouded in the mysticism of mythology & esoteric, the whole ‘realm’ of spirituality3
was replaced or re-engineered by the linear, hierachic ‘values’ & dogmas of
a monotheistic believe system, – our monoculture !
This kind of thinking might have worked to establish a now dysfunctional eco-nomy
and helped in the process of creating an internet as well as a popular & all-present Artificial Intelligence,
but is a useless technique and absolute misleading when it comes to real life.
! The Scientists Warning !
– and this mental ‘disorientation‘ brings us to a different kind of topology,
a ‘linguistic topology‘ of the psyche, – our soul, spirit or life !
This is a different ‘space‘, the realm of emotions & spirituality,
here we use different topological lingo to navigate our ‘place‘, ‘unseren Lebensraum‘,
our eco-sphere (– oikos-Greek for house), simply our environment as a whole.
Here we use terms like relationships, adaptation, association, transformation, interdependencies,
trajectories, projections, reflections, transparency, connectivities etc.
to communicate our multisensory perceptional experiences.
And this is where we lost it, we have mistaken an abstract interpretation of our physical world
as a template or ‘cookie cutter‘ for the rest of creation.
Today we have ‘eco–nomies‘ which have nothing to do with an ecologic reality
and consequently force us to disconnect from our environment & habitat;
Now we have ‘social‘ networks which systematically dis-mental societies
by discrediting or compromising our social ethics & behavior
just to replace them with some re-engineered, neo-feudalistic system.
If you ‘look‘ closer, you can ‘see‘ that the ideas of hierarchic structures, straight geometric lines,
beginning & ends or physical right & wrongs, are not applicable to living organism
and all the other ‘things‘ in constant motion, development & progression.
Also when it comes to the mental activities of the brain, to human behavior and social interaction of people,
– and I belief this is what we are talking about -, we enter another ‘dimension‘,
a different realm of abstract thinking
This is where we use metaphors & allegories to describe or explain things
which don’t fit our ‘rational’ mind-frame or some other reductionistic approach.
Here is where we talk about psychosomatic, neuroplasticity and mental health,
as well as Inspiration, Imagination & Intuition, the fundamentals of creativity & innovation.
All of these terms are reflecting intangible processes and/or incomputable functions of some very complex organisms which are all interconnected and in continuous motion within a constantly changing environment.
To the untrained ‘eye‘ all this might look like a vast untamed ‘wilderness‘,- the one we have learned to
fight & conquer, or it appears like the great Chaos, – the one we so much despise.
On the other hand we have recognized the great potency of this ‘chaos‘,
the incredible energy & dynamic this wilderness can provide, but then,
somehow we distanced or alienated ourselves from these powerful ‘source‘ of life.
This mental & physical disconnection from our natural environment has caused a whole variety of problems,
all interconnected & entangled with everything else.
There’s not only the devastating discord with our habitat
but also the damaging effect to our social-communion & -responsibilities.
Since we often don’t know where to begin to untangle these dysfunctions
and all our ‘intelligence‘ is unable to comprehend the complexity of this ‘chaos‘,
I suggest to approach this problem in an other way or fashion, on a fundamentally different ‘level‘ of thinking.
We did not arrive at this ‘Here & Now‘ on our own, everything & anything is a collective achievement,
born out of our Social-Emotional-Intelligence which does not separate us from the ‘Rest of Creation,
but corresponds with our social-economic system;
and this is where real responsibility & collaboration begins !
The ‘point‘ is, my writings are intentionally different from your ‘normal‘ read.
This kind of ‘writing‘ suits an internet environment, it corresponds with the web- & cloud-structures out there,
and in us, it complements a combination of wiki & ubuntu philosophy.
There are lots of hyperlinks and peripheral information, accompanied by personal, perceptual comments
and my own interdisciplinary analysis, often paired with allegorical images and metaphorical quotes.
Looking at my work as a whole will reveal its logical coherence reflecting the dynamic of an organic ‘structure‘;
– nothing is finished or complete, everything is in flux, constantly edited & changing.
As in the ‘observer effect‘, the reader or observer is invited to engage, participate and to ‘connect the dots‘;
– fill in the blanks and join the dynamic process of ‘crowd-sourced editing‘-,
it emphasizes the social emotional aspect of our intelligence.
The whole idea here is to start a correspondence, conversation & a co-creative process.
My intention is not to control or manipulate this constantly changing ‘Network Topology‘,
but to use its perpetual dynamic & synergy to create more complex & sustainable solutions.
In the tradition of Rudolf Steiner’s ‘Anstößen‘, I just want to provide some stimulus, – my contribution
to the solution, so to speak -, to induce a more mindful conversation among all kinds of people.
The ‘road-map‘ to this integral, more wHolistic way of thinking uses a different mental attitude
to navigate the eco-logical ‘landscape‘ of the human condition.
Only if we are bold enough to remove our mindset from the context of modern ‘Intelligence‘
and regain our original, social-emotional aspect of intelligence,
the natural logic or common sense of this mentality will reveal itself.
This ‘new‘ way of thinking is not confined by the Mosaic law & order of proprietorship,
not limited by semantics & conditioning of the dominant monoculture,
and it will not drown in the self-pityness of anthropocentrism.
The philosophic ‘principles‘ here reflect the ever-changing realities & dynamics of our environment,
they are in constant flux and incorporate Intuition, Inspiration & Imagination
as well as the all-present, collective subconsciousness.
This kind of thinking commemorates correlation & codependency rather than alienation & hostility;
– instead of basing ideas on decisions & rejections they revolve around conspirations,
free choices & compromises. This mentality is collative, co-creative and cooperates
responsibly & proactively rather than retroactive or regressive.
The combination of abstract and conspirativ thinking is the greatest accomplishment
of our social emotional intelligence. It helped our ancestors for thousands of years
to navigate the wilderness of this planet and the chaos of lifepsyche.
… until the obscure idea of ‘monoculture‘ inundated our minds and the social engineering began!
Here & Now we are facing new & different challenges and all we have left is an overwhelming
amount of undigested knowledge and immature technologies.
So here I ‘start‘ where society has left off long time ago,
– ‘re-setting’ my mindset to a different level of perception & comprehension,
‘re-editing’ the linguistic of our psychosomatic correlations & mutualities.
One thing wise men have told us for centuries, and modern quantum physics is teaching us today,
is, that there is a codependency between observer and the observed, an entanglement which is hard to comprehend for a linear and strictly tangible logic.
Whenever we enter a new space or realm with a specific, partial or fragmented and often
incoherent comprehension, everything will appear unorganized & chaotic and will make no
sense to an unprepared observer. And, like in weather patterns or at Jane & Susan’s pool party,
in real life nothing stands still, everything is in constant motion, impossible to comprehend mathematically
or to be captured ‘topologically‘.
– wherever we go, whatever we do, we project & reflect our-Self on our environment and vice versa, the environment reflects & projects on & in our-Self. Like a diamond in Indra’s net, more or less aware of itself,
we represent an integral part of this infinite, multidementional ‘topography‘ !
A multi sensory awareness, which also incorporates abstract thinking, comprehension & empathy,
– similar to the sixth sense of Buddhism,- will awaken our consciousness and makes us
a responsible co-creator of the entire ‘scenario‘ or experience.
The function of empathy neurons, our empathetic connectivity, reaches beyond our fellow men,
out to all other living beings and to earth itself.
Guidance doesn’t come from ‘above’ or any other thing out there,
but ‘from & thru’ our ‘compass’ within, its imaginary pointer-of-free-choice
rotating around some constantly changing, ‘pivotal points’ of empathy.
A conscious observer is not only aware of the social & environmental circumstances,
the dynamics motions & conditions, but also deals with skills & knowledge,
moods & mentologies, the emotions & feelings of all participants.
Many theoretical and methodological approaches have been made to rationalize,
systemise and categorize our feelings & emotions. But since most of them are still stuck in
the ‘laws‘ of a linear, hierarchic paradigm, their contributions haven’t been much more than
a honorable attempt, and have confused the issues even more than necessary.
Somatic theories have tried to layout & map sensory-neuron–networks and explain
afferences & affinities with little comprehension of the whole.
Even the most prommissing attempts of Quantum Cognition or the topological psychology
of Field Theory with its Gestalt Therapy (“- a conceptual & methodological base from which
helping professionals can craft their practice”), are still trapped in partial & discriminatory thinking
and misguided by delusional & dissonant economics.
But the simple recognition that every human being, as well as any other thing out there,
is equally important to this universal organism, will help to correct & transform
our discriminatory & reductionistic worldview.
The acceptance of this ‘common ground‘ also implies a mutual reliance & interdependency which,
in return, requires a different kind of communication & coordination.
Only a high developed & ‘educated‘ social-emotional sensitivity is able to understand the
psycho dynamic of communion and respond sensitively & wisely to the perceived chaos of life.
Any fruitful cooperation with our social network, community or environment depends
on a functional interface with our social emotional intelligence.
If you made it this far in your reading you might have reached a ‘Milestone of Realization’
which tells you that:
there are no isolated events in this universe and
nothing & nobody exists on its own on this planet.
Everything & anything is a collective achievement and only the sociopsychological skills
of the individuum can find the consciousness and maintain the mental health
necessary to create the ‘organic’ groundwork of any civilization.
Only then social-ecologic science & education can become a nourishment
for our economy and a sustainable future.
