For a nonlinear thinker and writer like me, it is quite difficult to express the terms, concepts and perceivings
of this Other, non-anthropocentric Reality & Dynamic that lies concealed within our common experience.
What we experience or witness today is a deep-rooted, mental disease that behaves – thus described by C.G. Jung
– like a virus which metastasizes like a cancerous growth in the collective consciousness of our species.
Here, it is pivotal to understand that it is the subconsciousness – not unconsciousness –
that constitutes the vast, subliminal constituent of our Life & ‘consciousness‘.
The origin of this mental virus reaches back to the early, abstract thinking of our neolithic ancestors
and of course, it is of epic or ‘biblical’ nature. As social beings, we share observations, experiences & ideas,
mental concepts and abstract constructs spread like memes across the population
and ‘travel’ up & down thru generations.
As we – collectively – developed ethics & morals, certain abstract ideas and dichotomic concepts
of law & order transformed our apperceptive consciousness into an anthropocentric worldview
that divided, segregated & stratified our communities, gave us belief systems & ideologies
that separated & disengaged us from the eco-dynamic of real life.
… and Life is nonlinear in Nature !
Now, that the linear, hierarchic principles have contaminated our minds and an anthropocentric, chauvinistic
behaviour dominates & rules all our environmental engagements and social-emotional relationships,
some of us have actually ‘matured’ to a point where ‘Life’ is asking us to make a ‘Real’, genuine
or ‘True’ Choice, one that contradicts the coerced decisiveness of decision-making
and is not followed by confusion, regret or discontent that generates this
‘ressentiment morality’ Nietzsche is talking about;
which brings us back to our dichotomic, dualistic worldview with all its linear, hierarchic biases
that divide, separate & reduce the ‘Whole’ and thus minimize our comprehension & recognition of
the phenomena and the interdependency of all things.
That’s where a mature individual can recognize and might realize the correlation and reciprocal dynamic
between ‘opposing’ forces; – where Coming-of-Age means recognizing that Life & Death are just two sides
of the same coin and that Choice-to-Live includes an acceptance of dying.
