Key Concept Usage
Intro
Please notice that I adjust the meanings of some key concepts in my
thinking/writing to facilitate integration around fairness and
benevolence while dropping the connotations of power seeking as
desirable. For this reason I will discuss concepts that I use in a
particular way and begin to explain why. This is why I offer the
previous list for your consideration. This intro to 'KEY CONCEPT USAGE'
is first on the list.
Half a century of exploring the functional processes of both the
creative mind and the more normal limited, or boxed in mind has led me
to recognize many sources of creative limitations. Language itself
has evolved to discourage and blind our minds to their own astounding
capacities. The focus necessary in the early stages of most learning
processes is adopted as an end in itself. This and many other forms of
'closure' pull an unnoticed curtain, making us unaware that we are
stunting the natural integrative capacities of our minds. Thousands of
these mutually reinforcing 'traps' supported by everyday language and
assumptions have been propagated and made more sophisticated for
several thousand years.
I have discovered, over the years that a complex ensemble of power
concepts still inundates our languages due to their origination within
the tyrannical birthing of civilizations. The evolution of our very
basic thinking tools guarantee inhibition of curiosity and creation of
conflict among other things. Extensive connotations (assumptions) are
insidiously (invisibly)
included within almost every concept/word in our languages from their
early development for mind control and enslavement in civilized
tyrannies.
The interlocking linguistic support system of tyrannical and
subservient rationalization is not generally recognized. It is far
more complex than recognition alone can sort out.
I have been working to understand how this unethical undertow
functions for many years. How do we shift from the power-mongering
mindset, that we only partially propagate unwittingly, to
a more benevolent and fair-minded social framework. This question,
due to its effective creative blocks, has been nearly all consuming
for me since the mid 1960s. The mind's creative process turns
out to be one of the keys to understanding and beginning to remedy the
disruption of our potentially amazing minds.
The mind has been shown to have the capacity to begin healing itself
even at ages past ninety.
