Observations on the Puberty of the Human Mind - A Living Document By Carey G. Butler
"War does not determine who is right - only who is left." (Anonymous)
Introduction: This treatise must be written. I didn’t know it until 10:13 UTC on 22.02.2023, when the idea suddenly occurred to me, that I’ve been preparing it all throughout my life.
This document will be updated at every opportunity until I am no longer able to update it further.
The Two Nature’s “March” through time: Destructive and Constructive
Both have endured a war throughout history with one or the other getting the upper hand. I now provide my understanding of how these wars manifest themselves.
One or more ideas or perspectives are artificially created or organically arise in the consciousness of those whose interests or concerns are influenced or affected by them. These contenders then invite or compel others to participate in a discussion or action which expresses these interests or concerns.
The definitions (or lack of them when based upon assumption) and the mindsets which underly the contending sides (and there may be many contending sides) begin to coalesce in their adherents as they evolve and refine themselves. A “fugue” of polarisation and synthesis ensues.
Our “march through time” is this very process during its evolution or even, devolution. It winds its way through many dimensions of context, direction, stage, and state, as well as on many lines, rungs, and levels: often many of these dimensions find expression simultaneously.
Also, each side may affect the other in the opposite way. For example, a destructive event can produce an evolutionary chain of events and vice-versa.
The assertion of these tendencies, by choosing the first nature above as an example, would be: “The destructive-dominant mindset tends to reside in and find expression of a fear-orientation, whereas the constructive-dominant mindset tends to reside in and find expression of a trust-orientation.
Care must be taken with these tendencies however; because, each person or group involved could switch sides according to the context in which they find themselves. There are also instances where both sides share the same orientation and may even share identical reasons for being and doing so.
Therefore, other parameters are required to correctly evaluate them. The other parameters will be introduced as we proceed.
Also, these orientations rarely, except when they have been polarised, find expression in their most “pure” form. I am referring to spectrums and not absolutes. There are even extremes found on both sides of each. Then there are outliers which signal relationship to higher or lower rungs of a continuous spiral of available being and acting between them.
