A Naturally Balancing Existence........Relational Systems Theory - Sketching it out...

So building on the home exams...Think Nash's Equilibrium......he touched the source......with this idea.......the pure method.....

Considering Self and Others when moving (deciding/choosing) autonomously........

Awareness and understanding as a result of the Parallel/equilibrium Process: 
(SatyaAgraha = "insistence on truth" (satya 'truth'; agraha 'insistence') or "soul force")

Courage --> Trust --> Openness --> Understanding --> Balance

SYSTEMS THEORY:

As more people (energy) are involved in the process so the system itself and the amount of energy within it increases. Naturally then the rate of circulation must also increase (current/voltage?) in relative terms so as to maintain homeostatic balance.....? But is there enough openness in society as it is now to maintain a balanced circulation of relational energy flow?  

For example It is openness that allows energy to be exchanged relationally....... 

Think Systems Theory...........High Entropy.........

NASH EQUILIBRIUM: Real life example -- Nenna (my girlfriend) asking if she can switch the lights on --> fear based approach, giving away power, relinquishing responsibility, unbalancing the equation by handing over the gravity of the scenario to me.....? 

Equilibrium approach...'I need to switch the lights on, is that ok with you?' (self and others are considered and so there is balance)...equilibrium is maintained...within this relational equation...

More Sketching......Possible Thesis Abstract.....

Up until now i had thought that these ideas were only ever going to wander around inside my head but maybe i was wrong......maybe they could be of use to others......?
To be honest i was amazed that this abstract was understood, let alone accepted by one of my professors......exciting times......been dreaming about these ideas for way too long......maybe....just maybe.....they might happen........early days but very exciting........
 
Energic Relation Theory.........
Sociology Abstract:

Hypotheses: As well as the commonly mentioned Marxist sphere concerning the means of production within society it is proposed that there is also a more humanistic sphere constituting the means by which we relate to one another. It is suggested that energic transactions within this relational sphere (meta, micro (people interacting), mesa, macro (state interactions) levels) catalyse and effect its motion (frequency, vibrations) and collective output through a flow of exchanges involving energy that manifests into matter and reality as we know it.

This relational sphere is linked to 2 other transactionally interacting energic spheres which collectively constitute our ontology. These are thought to be energically related to one another by way of larger relational exchanges of energy.......(3 spheres = divine sphere, production sphere, relations sphere). This energically relational idea can be paralleled with that of planetary relationships in our solar system in terms of forces of gravity, mass, density, orbiting patterns etc.

The collective vibrations and frequencies of these three spheres are determined by there internal dynamics (e.g. like the 'Milieu Interior' (Claude Bernard, 1865) of the body, internal homeostasis - achieved through multiple dynamically balancing mechanisms) and also there energic relations to one another (external homeostasis). Therefore the motion of each individual sphere is collectively determined by the relational exchanges of energy occurring within that sphere (between people, groups, nations and continents) and also simultaneously the nature of its relations with the other two spheres (for example like Bordieu - habitus & field style relational exchanges but on an energic level). Naturally then if one sphere is suffering from an imbalance then the balance of the entire ontology would be compromised.


AIM: To develop methodological capabilities of energically measuring our current methods of interaction. Measuring micro level interactions and the exchanges of energy that occur during a social interaction at the interpersonal level is the anticipated starting point........... 
For e.g. exchange of frequency and vibrations within a social interaction via verbal communication.
The more measurements of energy e.g. speech, body temp, brain activity,  

It is hoped that developing this methodology will allow momentary energy signatures of individuals and there interactions to be recorded so that the nature of energy exchanged between individuals via our means of interaction can be better understood.

Achieving this would allow the possibility of energically measuring social exchanges in terms of peace and conflict to be analysed. The possibility of measuring likelihood of conflict development at different levels of interaction.....inter personal, inter state etc....... would also improve and also the door could be opened to the possibility of evaluating and analysing the ways in which we interact with one another on all levels. 

Through achieving this analysis and evaluation the option to reconfigure our mind based realities to move more harmoniously with the naturally created world would become more of a possibility and would allow us to move one step closer to constructing a more sustainable psychological climate in terms of peace on a global level....

Byron Katie - On War.......

Another inspirational quote inbetween heavy study and lecture sessions.......


“As long as we believe our thoughts, there will always be war.” - Byron Katie


This would suggest that it is all a constructed mind based version of a naturally based reality if we were to follow a critical realist perspective of our perception........?

Perception & Choice.........

Today the power of choice is really making itself known to me...................
 
“Usually, we see what we want to see, not what is actually before our eyes. We look, but we may not apprehend or comprehend. We may have to tune our seeing, much as we would tune a musical instrument, to increase its accuracy, its sensitivity, its range. The intention would be to see things as they actually are, not as we would like them to be or fear them to be, or only what we are socially conditioned to see or feel.”

The highest form of education is.........



Been reading a bit about peace education today and found a vey relevant quote by the Bengali Polymath and 1913 Nobel Prize winner in Literature Rabindranath Tagore.

:)

“The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence.” (Rabindranath Tagore) 

Looking forward to reading more about peace education and the different approaches when studying starts.....

How to save the world......by Lao Tzu

 Inspirational Quote for the day.......

“Would you like to save the world from the degradation and destruction it seems destined for? Then step away from shallow mass movements and quietly go to work on your own self-awareness. If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.”

― Lao Tzu

Philosophy of Perception.....Social Interface Design........

Been reading about Roy Bhaskar and Critical Realism today.........WOW!!

Lots of things bubbling........... :)


How do we interact with one another? How should we interact with one another? (expectations, norms, values, beliefs, mores?) 

.......Socially, globally, individually?

Methods of interaction

How do levels of awareness influence our interactions?

choices......decisions.........? Self and others?

How do we construct ourselves in order to integrate and interact?

What are our interface design specifications......? (Role of Conditioning / Social Structures?)

Introverted settings? Extroverted settings?

How much of ourselves do we construct?

Structure/Agency.........Nature/Nurture........


...........Fascinating stuff................thinking this is going to be a fun course............ :)

Pema Chodron's Angle On Peace.....

"Whether we’re seeking inner peace or global peace or a combination of the two, the way to experience..."

http://feedly.com/k/13bciVB

“Whether we’re seeking inner peace or global peace or a combination of the two, the way to experience it is to build on the foundation of unconditional openness to all that arises. Peace isn’t an experience free of challenges, free of rough and smooth—it’s an experience that’s expansive enough to include all that arises without feeling threatened.”

- Pema Chödrön, "Unlimited Friendliness”

Inroduction...

Hi there,  and Good morning from Tromso, North Norway.....

Jamer here, just about to start studying Peace & Conflict Transformation at Tromso university. Loads of  ideas swimming around so thought a space for them might be needed.....

The idea here is to fuse my interests which are...... 

anything from Particle Physics, Medicine, Noetics, Public Health and Astronomy/Astrology through to Martial Arts, Yoga, Maths, Meditation, Crystal healing, Quantum Medicine, Energy Psychology, Philosophy, Polarity Therapy, Cellular Biology, Geometry, Neuroscience, Hypnotherapy and Ayurveda.....

with.... 

a background in health, wellness, psychiatric nursing and the social sciences......

and... 

shape all of this into a helpful masters project in peace and conflict.......

by.......


'Investing energy and time into the renewal of humanity through compassionate service.'


So here goes.......wish me luck

:)
