Sketch 11: Acculturation
ACCULTURATION ---> Psychological & Cultural Change
Negative Influence <---- Means of Production ----> privately owned + psychologically rigid - see sketch 10 cocktail.....
This private ownership is restricting and containing our potential realization (Galtung in C. Brunk, shaping a vision - p17)
? Structural Change ?
Culture of Production?
Relations of production: State / Society Relationship (Closed, Private, Restricting balanced exchange of resources and realization potential?)
Dysfunction ---> rigidity ---> Inertia ---> Static, lack of growth, evolution........REALIZATION.......
SKETCH 12: (main outline) Perceptual Construction - The Means by which we Relate
(See sketches 2, 3 and 10)
In every moment that we exist we are receiving and sending information.......
that information is arranged momentarily into a constantly shifting perception that moves and changes with time....
but what are the contents of this arrangement, (this energic interface).....or at least the more common ones.....
What are the components within our perceptually constructed interface that can become generative mechanisms for the catalysing of conflict and the development of aggression and violence when interacting with others?
Perceptual field = outflowing energy construction (see sketch 2)
The generative mechanisms for the emergence of conflict could be the ontological constructs of 'time' and 'money'........these serve to encourage 'practicality'/ efficiency and heuristic methods of existence and being......?
Heuristic methods of perceptual construction encourage incoming content to be shaped and changed for purposes of 'practicality' / efficiency.............or to fit...........(option of norms link and sociology expansion here). It does not appear that incoming content is allowed, within current societal conditions, to settle and take shape naturally......
This could be perceived as at least a small piece of our method of existence that has served to create predictability, rigid patterns of living and cyclical modes of suffering through conditioning and restricted flows of expression and energy...........this of course directly opposes nature's original intention of infinitely evolving beauty through variety...........(us against nature argument)
Opposition - but nature also moves in a cyclical fashion.......??
These heuristic short cuts are encouraged on a societal level as conditional means for acceptance and also serve as a gateway for the very modern but limited transmission of love...........of course this is the one thing that we all need............but how should it be cultivated and digested? superficially? (link to psychological nourishment ideas, depth of interaction etc.)
How bizarre that we must shape ourselves in a particular way in order to be loved?
Conditional existence........a manifestation of inertia and rigidity.......?
It is proposed then that it is these restricted, superficially limited, heuristically based and seemingly unnatural
methods of perceptual construction that allow the unbalanced and far from optimal methods of interaction and energy exchange to occur between people, groups, institutions and states.
It is in turn believed that these unbalanced methods of interaction through energy exchange are the catalysts at the micro root level of our beings existence for insecurity, and fear to develop which when used to regain security and control develop into anger, aggression and violence. As these waves of unmanaged, unbalanced energy gather momentum civil unrest and eventually wars can emerge.
Link to THESIS SKETCH 2: Boxes concept
Expand discussion about heuristic methods with examples........
E.G. Conditioned lack of openness stopping the development of trust via honesty and also the prevention of understanding, empathy and acceptance.......
DISCUSSION:
(them) us against nature.......what if we don't collectively want to be like nature? our current patterns in that case would right on track?
(us) but what about sustainable patterns?
(them) are we not still growing as a race, expanding?
