Oscillating between Eco-Dynamics and Philosophic Emotions

While we are continuing to repeat our old mistakes, why is nobody addressing the root causes
of our cultural & civilizational failure ?

To understand the numbing, sociopathological culture of our civilization, we have to use all our wits
and senses to overcome the perceptual blindsidedness of our anthropocentric belief system.

Linear Thinking plays a pivotal role in the loss of our collective sapience and is key
to the demise of our species.

The exclusive-conclusive character of Linear Abstractions might serve the quantitative schemata
of some mathematical constructs ^[1], but is utterly inadequate when it comes to psycho-logical and
socio-eco-logical issues where linearity becomes a consequential contradiction
to the synergetic Dynamic of Life.

The transition from hunters & gatherers to farmers & herders drastically changed our relationship
with nature and came with the expulsion from the ‘Garden Eden’ the loss of our environmental integrity.

The emergence of more distinct societies transformed our common spiritualities into more
ideologically constructed belief systems. Yesterday’s intrinsic, socio-ecological mentality began
to reconstitute itself in new social-economic constructs that gave the subjugation & desecration
of ‘Mother Nature’ some spiritual or divine justifications; these new Religions with their
anthropocentric perspective and commercialized spirituality made the appropriation of the common
and the colonization of the Earth a divine mission, a ‘Manifest Destiny‘.

Abrahamic monotheism consolidated divine entitlements with consecrated stratifications in
a possessive anthropocentrism. Mosaic Laws amalgamated dichotomic logic and linear thinking
in some new ‘economic’ gospel that is now completely ‘out of tune’ with
the natural dynamic of our habitat & psyche.

is consequential and always comes with the implication 
of a subsequence or contingency.
Throughout centuries of Intergenerational Socialization,
this linear dichotomic thinking has imprinted us with
all these isms, – ‘the take side with, one over another’
and its epistemic justifications that have caused
so much trouble in the world and drove us
more apart than it united us.

Socio-economically completely dislodged from the eco-logic reality, these monotone credos
became a Mental Pollutant that has infested our minds and is behaving like a Virus,
a mental pandemic that spreads across populations and is handed down throughout the generations.

This unnatural and purely abstract figment, that rules everything from the top down,
has finished off our Life Cycle by ending it with a Death ‘Sentence‘,
and turned our reciprocal relationship with the natural environment
into a constant fight against all ‘Others’. – ‘Us Good – Them Evil’

Under the rule-based system of our hierarchic world-order, our inherent
Social-Emotional-Intelligence – paramount to the collective sapience of our species – diminished
into some ‘Artificial’ Intelligence that is bound to objectified individuals
who get trapped in something they call their Self.

Discarding our attentive & participative thinking caused a great loss of collective
synergy & creativity generated immense social-emotional confusion and consequently
drove us into the ecological pandemonium we are facing today.

If we want to overcome our social-economic incongruities and the madness of
our anthropocentric philosophies & beliefs, we better start right here & now by reining in
our delusional & senseless hope for ‘intelligent’, heteronomous guidance from ‘above’.

Now, that our ‘Line’ comes to an End, it is good to know that there are not even enough
tangible resources ^[2] to engineer our way out of this predicament,
our AI seems to missing all kinds of pivotal ‘points’ and ‘peripherals’ entirely !

But, we have the mental capacity to shift into what Einstein called another ‘Level of Thinking’;
all together we possess more renewable, intellectual resources than an individual can think of,
the ability to share & change our perspective & perception, to transcend into the ‘Next’,
the common ‘place’ our collective conclusion in the ‘Non-Self’

By ‘rewriting’ the dichotomic storyline, editing its linguistic contrivances,
and giving it a nonlinear narrative, we can ‘rephrase’ our self-conception
and begin to rejoin the collaborative network of our habitat.

Navigating this more convoluted logic we need more sophisticated networks of communication
with a Social-Emotional-Intelligence that gives our empathy the necessary,
contextual Intelligence ^[3] that allows us to conspire with our environment
rather than to live in constant discordance with it.

In non-linear text, not everything is spelled out,
enticing the participating readers to fill the void with additional ideas.
Like musical notes and the silence inbetween that
paint colourful pictures in the minds of the listeners
and thus inspire to take-part and engage in the play.

 

The systemic collapse of our civilization does not mean Life is lost,

it just shifts ‘back into’ its more synergetic aspect of reality,
and so proceeds on a different level of consciousness,
where the networks of Life continue to be the eternal dynamic of existence;

– ecologically, non-linear & non-hierarchical.

 

If it was our abstract thinking that changed our perception,
separated the SELF & the ONE from the common & collective,
and thus disengaged us from the synergetic collaboration with our natural habitat;
it should be just a simple  paradigm shift in our thinking
that ‘decomposes’ the traumata of these misconceptions,
reinstates our environmental interrelationship
and reunites us with the Eco-Dynamic of Life.
