The Art of using Personal Science#3
Any science starts with a person
applying some available know-how and learning from its
consequences beyond the mere awareness about what can be perceived objectively
in nature, about self,
others, the environment, the trend or the time-spirit, the impact, and the mood in human
systems such as relationships, groups, companies, nations, culture and mankind. In
view of those, who have not mastered a specific scientific qualification, application of
know-how has to become an art that does not
challenge their pre-scientific prejudice too much.
That is the case say in martial
art, when just practiced for physical superiority, rather than to
become free for lifefulfillment, the purpose for which I try to rise your interest.
Arnold Mindell in his book "THE LEADER AS MARTIAL ARTIST"
has raised the topic, here we cover the basics. If
people feel ready for transcendence,
ready to reframing their mind, where experienced inade-quate, in order not to get trapped, then
they are ready for proper science#3. Any human system needs an interest that can be sustained beyond
the unavoidable challenge between quantity and quality based
on one's innate substantiality of the being. It
allows, in case of individual humans, at least a personal mental position of awareness
beyond any external challenge, even the most extreme one, the threat of death with all it entails, up to the point of the actual brain death, or if you belief in
it, and if it is real, God's final redemption. The same applies of course
correspondingly for any human systems; its deepest interest is its final
overcoming enclosures,
in which, if it is not transcended in time, it becomes closed and thereby self-destructive.
In other words we need an interest, that is at least one step ahead of the presently e=established,
formal B=boundary conditions, Be. The price for the thus achievable sustainable
growth, however, is that you can no longer focus your awareness entirely on Be because
you have to reinvest some of the otherwise maximum, short-term benefit, to keep the
higher than Be-interest, in the Bible, the "law", alive! Paying that price by using a
corresponding science to minimize it, is of course good
business practice. In other words, the quantity
envisaged with that kind
of common sense has to be meaningfully related to the quality really
needed. And that by accounting for the fabric and nature of this creation that was set up for us to fulfill
our lives by contributing to its optimization in the very process of
our life in a
constructive, e.g. meaningful way: We cannot clear up global issues by working on its
symptoms only, nor can we simplify it with the tyranny of generalizations!
If you allow yourself to live only as a nice person and repress conflicts and
confrontations, there is no guarantee that somebody else can do it
adequately in your place in the interest of the whole! For if you perceive something as wrong,
the whole calls you to set it right! On the other hand using the
mere language
of opposites implies that differences cannot be overcome, and to endure the thus
irresolvable problems is simply our destiny.
The of course rises the
temptation to go systemic; lacking the
understanding what fulfillment entails, and using
one's life for it, intellectuals
simply think they can substitute it with
their nice sounding, mass-attractive wishful, fragmented and thus
fragmenting rather than fulfilling concepts, of subjects
magically playing with objects so that
anything may go; to hell. Here we envisage
going beyond mere
Be-INTERESTS towards the necessary deregulation
of man-made systems to allow lifefulfilling
platforms. |
