“In this nuclear age, where do you think the line between reasonable defense of liberty and dogmatic extremism lies?” I find that the more I reduce a principle down, the more clear the answer becomes and the more we can understand how it is that the principle of extremism effects that around it.
Society is patterned after the same organic principles as all other organisms consisting of a multi-verse of parts to create ONE system dependent upon each of its parts. It therefore must adhere to the same laws and principles. The fact that most do not understand this means nothing to these dynamic mechanisms. They still play out like clockwork.
A crucial aspect of the workings of these systems as a whole is beautifully, if not very cerebrally laid out by Illya Prigogene with his work on’ Dissipative Structure’ and Self Organizing Systems. In his work he expounds upon the fact that within each system there is an inherent point of chaos that becomes triggered when the system has reached its potential within a certain stage of development. Its rather reminiscent of the Yin Yang symbol. Within each contrast, naturally exists a point in which the opposite is present.
When a structure as it is, has achieved its potential at that stage, chaos is triggered, as the intelligence of that system is inherent and cohesive throughout its every part within a unified field.
Something begins to break the ordering of the structure. That seeming chaos veins throughout the structure with such potency, that the structure can no longer find foundation in its previous order. It must then proceed, seemingly in chaos to form a new ordering that can adhere to its now greater potential. It must redefine itself.
In Chaos theory, there is perceived a connectedness to all that is seemingly random. In other words, there is no true chaos, only the ’big bang’, so to speak of new forms being birthed from old, which is far from chaotic when truly investigated. Only the human mind is in chaos as it cannot fathom the layered complexities and ingenious synergies of the bigger picture being played out.
What this means is that our societal structure, and all structures within it, in a macrocosm/ microcosm fashion, must be subject to the same principle of dissipative structure to some degree.
So you ask, how does all of this connect to extremism and its effect upon, or disconnect from our goals and principles? In knowledge there is power.
The more clear we understand the universal dynamics that govern our lives and the galaxies in the same way, the more effective and intelligent will be our response to it.
First, I believe our society is experiencing a period of chaotic dissipation of its previous order, and a leap of sorts towards an embellished state. That can only play out in society through human systems i.e. values, beliefs, and what we envision the creating and sharing of them to look like.
Here is where the chaos is breaking us up. The inherent intelligence and instinct within our race is seeking a greater assimilation of unity and harmony in alignment with our true potential, but we are so polarized, it seems impossible. We even define words such as liberty, freedom, peace and equality in completely different ways.
We also define extremism in different ways.
Most of the time no one knows what the other school of thought is even talking about! Blue means orange and oranges are chicken.
Those who cling to status quo, are in conflict with the principles of expansion. Progress to them is successfully remaining the same. But since we are within an expanding universe, even the human ego, with all of its self glorification cannot pull that off. So we have a million scenarios within this Societal organism, of words battling gaps battling seeming futility and more chaos. Sanctuary!
So when nothing means the same, how does extremism serve? ‘Like’ creates ‘like’ in the world of energy. Therefore, extremism creates only itself, which begets itself ad infinitum.
So that is not the answer. The answer is intelligence and higher mind.
So, in this nuclear age, reasonable defense of liberty, in my opinion, is standing one’s ground and moving forward incrementally in harmony with the new order. Dogmatic extremism is merely reflecting back an aggressiveness that creates more chaos and speaks to a now fallen reasoning.
There has to be the understanding that we speak different languages, we are devoted to different ideals that dress the same, and that we are subject to something much larger than ourselves.
We must understand that limitation, injustice, inequality, oppression, and stagnation are a contraction, not an expansion.
They are screaming like holy hell because it is their last hurrah at this point in time to a degree, and they are adding to the chaotic node we are meant to be in right now. They will lose. No need to dumb down with extremism.
The system will coalesce as we each coalesce. That is how an organism works. No grandiose hero, scenario or date on the Calendar.
The new order speaks to the importance of each of its parts, the empowerment of each of its parts, the health of each of its cells, the equality of each of its functions, and the expressing of the kind of energy we want to create as a whole. We are the answer. You, me, & that guy over there. We are the heroes, the grounding of reason into the new order, by how we live our lives. To my mind, that is what the universe is going for.
