The Conventional, Philosophy-based Order of Life
 The
prevailing subject-object relationship ignores the self-organizing aspects of life and love
which connect essentially different entities in a mutually meaningful way. A network of
shared responsibility requires participants to
balance position/definition power. Position
power is traditionally achieved on the basis of the established framework of
emotions, knowledge and
power games. However, we know today, that the conventional, inadequate basics of our knowledge
when it comes to human systems, is the source
of most of our open problems and our procrastination in solving them. To the degree the established structures and their content are
incongruent with the inner and the outer worlds of those concerned, the people in charge,
who identify with the establishes systems, need power to
secure their positions. When they use power they suppress themselves, others and nature,
usually driven by the greedy need to stay in their positions, rather than by the virtue of
fulfilling their positions meaningfully. This result in the know
comfort-zone management. The important question is whether we are in tune
with the basic demand life places on us, or out of tune trying to dramatize or
rationalize life. Similarly the cells of a body can be in tune with their genetically
defined function in the whole, or break away from the whole body and become cancerous.
What is life in terms of its basic drive?
A sound knowledge of conventional science is in general
a good start for finding answers. But it can only be a first step to a personally sustainable life style!
However, most people draw their beliefs and
orientations which go beyond this first step solely from their perception of the facts
filtered through their cultural, linguistic and denotative conditioning.
Life is a self-organizing inner drive to create a specific external
representation of the quality and the meaning of its bearer in his or her essence. This
fact is acknowledged by the paradigm change that takes place in medicine
and addresses the "inner doctor". It is being scientifically realized that apart
from accidents and infections, many illnesses may begin on a cellular level due to
malnutrition and reaction to external irritants. Just as human beings are the units
of consciousness within humanity, the cells are the basic units of the life in an
organism. The whole cannot be healed if its basic units remain sick, tense, unemployed,
outsourced and unfulfilled! Therefore
reality and our interpretation
of it has to be continually reframed in view of the true needs of those concerned
rather than through simply reacting to its abstractions in forms of words and other added
"values" as the market does. Why have most people lost touch with their true needs,
defaulting to the trend? It is because most human interactions are dealt
within denotational conventions that were basically formed at a time that
had little in common with today's situation. The result at this stage of human development is that most people
simply have an opinion about everything, but lack the essential knowledge and
understanding to express their lives meaningfully. This corresponds, in our western
societies, to the actual state of many people's digestive systems in which more decay and
flushing through takes place than digestion and absorption! The most
important intention of APS® is to secure a basic understanding of the
individual self and that of others so that people can make
use of essential knowledge and information about how to express life meaningfully
fulfilling. |
