' The Navigator ' Review - Sketch 13 & 14: (policy?) Combining Realist & Liberal perspectives.......... &

Sketch 13: (policy?) Combining Realist & Liberal perspectives..........
 
Political Science, Psychology and Critical Realism........

Hypotheses = Egocentric and conflictual nature has been learned it is not innate (as the defeatest realist theory suggests).

Liberal Perspective:

Fusion:

Liberal Realism - A freely regulating reality........

Total freedom can lead to anarchy. Even our degree of choices have there boundaries for we are not the largest force in operation within this universe.

There should be a balanced self responsibility and self regulation when exercising one's rights in terms of freedom.

The correct degree of responsibility when exercising freedom should result in win win scenarios.

50/50 blame balance

Self and others should benefit within all transactions but perhaps in varying degrees or at worst staying the same.

If the transaction is not meant to be taking place there will not be a win win option and so the pursuit should be delayed, abandoned or postponed.

Rate of activity: Timing is usually the issue if a win win transaction is not available. Patience and flexibility should be employed in this instance not heuristic (short cut) based, impatient, forced solutions driven by desperation ( pursuit of perfection -see sketch 10: PSY Cocktail ).

The goal here is to avoid acting when the psyche's naturally emerging energic wave based cycle's move into its down phase. This time should be used for stillness, inaction, recuperation, reflection, solitude, seperation and self analysis. (alignment, reception expansion (enhanced awareness levels) via stillness through mindfulness practices (self awareness).

LINK to sketch 43 - practicing consideration

Matters should never need to be forced. The practice of heuristic, self interest (egoic) fuelled co-ersion should be avoided at all costs.

If the natural rate of universal motion is being followed through harmonious action than transformation and actualization via authentic realizations will emerge effortlessly on a collective level.......

Inaction: The times of stillness and inaction (the down phase) require degrees of faith to be initiated.....life rewards faith.....trust in that.

Through this approach we can always guarantee stillness or progress rather than inflicting damage through unnatural methods of motion/progress catalysed by seeking, desire and desperation.

The cycle of our evolution must still fluctuate but in less drammatic up and down motion (think amplitude of the wave lessening)

We have a responsibility as a race to move and develop at a harmonious pace, one that is in parallel with nature......and sustainable in form.

Unfortunately right now.......

Our mind based reality is currently dominated by competitive self interest (egoic tendencies)

SEE SKETCH 10 - COCKTAIL (Conditioning trail)

This appears to be encouraging desperate levels of seeking and profiteering alongside destructive levels of competition and the mythical pursuit of perfection......

There is no attention being paid toward universal laws of being........e.g. win-win interactions and mutual reciprocation..... Balanced means of sustainable living....
 
Sketch 14: Our Nature must be Nurtured
 
Our Nature must be nurtured........?

It is not beyond our control........but we only have limited tools (choice, logic, reason....etc) with which to craft ourselves........?

There is no rigid answer.........we are born with a certain degree of our being configured through inheritance and evolution. This can then be nurtured by the input that is received and the ways in which we learn and choose to process it........

Favourable conditions for growth, development, realization and self actualization must be cultivated with the tools we are given...............

There are no difference in the tools that we are all given, all men are born equal, the only differences are in the ways we choose to perceive our circumstances and the degree of responsibility we choose to carry........ with every + there is a - & vice versa.........

The 'Navigator Review' - Sketch 11 & 12: Acculturation & Perceptual Construction - The Means by Which we Relate

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?
