HUMAN CONDITION IS LANGUAGE

We are humans because of language. Without language we would move in the big river of life without having to think about our existence.

We are always in language – even if we don’t think. Language creates a realm which only exists through language.

Language is the human condition, the human freedom and the human challenge. 

Language defines the possible and thus sets the limit to the impossible. Possibilities evolve from possibilities. What has no name has no evolution and remains impossible.

The way you think is intimatly intervowen with the possibilites you can imagine.

BEING IS THE BASIS

Every human being is nature. Nature is our mother and our origin. We are part of this beautiful interwoven organism – no matter what we think.

Being is our basis. Being has always been whole and connected.
Separation is created by language.

The experience of Being is the basis for what follows. And language defines the possibility how Being is experienced.  This is a paradox of language. And this is the power of language. 

If Being is defined as whole and connected, language creates possibilities of experiencing being as whole and connected. If being is defined as deficient and separated, language creates possibilities of experiencing being as deficient and separated. 

The understanding of Being is the fundament of any context.

HUMANS NEED MYTHS

The realm of language has no beginning, no end and no meaning. Humans create myths because we need a beginning and an ending. 

Myths propose an order in the realm of language. They talk about origins, tell us what constitutes a good life and where the challenges lie. This is how meaning evolves. Meaning is a category of language. 

Without language, Beings become as they become without need meaning. Myths create meaning and meaning need myths. 

Contexts

Contexts are elaborations of myths. They offer possibilities for the mind to move and direct life energy.

Contexts organize the space of language, where without words and contexts there is only emptiness.

Contexts define the possible and thus set the limits to the impossible. Possibilities evolve from possibilities. What has no name has no evolution and remains beyond the defined. 

Contexts create reality because humans experience their becoming through the possibilities of their context. 

That is why context is the beginning and the end. People experience life through the context in which they live. Reality is based on an enormous reduction of complexity. Language only covers a tiny part it.

Acknowledging this relativity, we can engage with different realities. In doing so, we also say yes to a different way of being human.

TIED TO THE LAND

Humans belong to the land because myths are connected to the land.

Myths belong to the land because they evolve with the land. The land holds people who are embedded in the land of the myths. 

By living the myths people become them, because the myths become through the people. 

When a people’s land is taken away, the myths are torn from their roots. Forcing people off their land means destroying a human possibility.

POWER IS THE HUMAN CHALLENGE

Language allows us to create possibilities of being in the world. Language is a tool of creation. Language is the freedom to create.

Holding a way of being is power. It is power because people need a way of being. If nobody agrees, a possibility remains without attention and energy.

The power of holding a myth depends on the attention given to it.

Dealing with power and freedom is the human condition and the human challenge.

POWER OF SEPARATON

Separation is a power of evolution. It happens throughout the whole creation.

Language itself creates an inherent separation from immediacy. Through language we are always in a space created by language. This existential separation is part of the human challenge and the human freedom. 

If the power of separation is not recognized as for what it is, it can lead to secession. Secession denies the origin. Secession wants to be the origin. 

Then language models evolve denying our being part of the whole. Secession only exists in language. 

PATRIARCHAL DELUSION

Patriarchal contexts do not recognize nature as our mother and origin. If they did, their entire legitimacy would be undermined.

Patriarchal contexts do not recognize the  separating power of language. This is why these contexts need God or omnipotent leaders and saviors. They need something to reach which can’t be in the existing present. 

When language is not rooted in Being, and the power of separation is not recognized, humans fall into the trap of greatness. When greatness takes over language becomes a slave for upholding ideas decoupled from the cycles of nature. Then, the becoming is no longer a collaboration with nature, but a fight against an enemy created by the context itself.

These contexts position humans above their own mortality by promising eternal life in another realm.

WAR IS INHERENT

Patriarchal contexts need to be origin themselves. This is why patriarchy needs God or an omnipotent leader. 

This delusion is the end of the always been completeness of all life. It is the end of equality of all life and the beginning of hierarchy. 

Where hierarchy rules, just one can be the best.
War is the logic consequence.
War is inherent to hierarchy. War is inherent to patriarchy.

As long as we uphold the patriarchal possibility of human being above nature, we hold the possibility of war being needed. 

This is the existential guilt we carry by living a life denying our origin.

TRAPPED IN THE CONTEXT

When language is no longer rooted in our being, language looses its integrity. Words become arbitrary. Then human existence is not safe any longer. Chaos spreads. This is the origin of the global confusion. 

The virus of our time is a decoupled language from our being part of nature and therefore our finity. This is why people uphold delusional ideas of greatness, populating mars or even the whole universe. 

People sense the lies, but don’t transcend how their own existence is tied to the context that creates destruction and misery. 

That is why real change is difficult. The challenge is the existence itself, which has been shaped by a patriarchal context that denies our origin and cultivates ideas of greatness. This is the trap of patriarchal thinking.

When humans remember Indigenous they can’t uphold the patriarchal existence. 

LEADERSHIP

Recognizing life’s interconnectedness shapes the conception of leadership. In a context of wholeness leadership means listening to what serves the whole and taking a stand for it. In a context of wholeness leadership is a collaboration with life. You step up for life using you.

It is a choice to create life serving ways of becoming, whereas you are the instrument for what you stand for. Your becoming holds the way of being you stand for. Then your words become a possibility of being in the world. 

The context you choose defines what is possible. Choosing a context of wholeness, where things have always been connected, you take a stand for a human possibility where things have always been connected. Holding this possibility allows the evolution of the possibilities of this possibility.

This is the creation of reality. Leadership is creation of reality. Leadership in context of wholeness is the creation of lifeserving possiblities. 

REMEMBERING INDIGENOUS

We hold Billions of years of evolution in our bodies and share this with the stars, the plants, the animals and our brothers and sisters. We have so much in common.
It is language that separates us.

Remembering Indigenous means holding the possibility of being part of nature and therefore being home on this planet.  

When we remember being part, our lives turn into service to the whole. When we remember having been whole always, we have the choice to assume the responsibility to create what serves the whole.

Part of the remembering is recognizing the power of separation of language and holding ways to dealing with it.

Assuming this responsibility is becoming Indigenous. This is the freedom of being home.

Like all other ways of being it is a myth because it is a creation of language. A life serving creation. 

Natural and Artificial Intelligence

Algorithms do not need to make existential decisions. They calculate possibilities, weigh up advantages and disadvantages, and draw conclusions from this. 

Concepts do not have an existence of their own. They are just concepts. Concepts can be exchanged like all thoughts that do not come from the depths of experience.

Human evolution is a living process rooted in life itself. Possibilities in the context of wholeness arise from the existential decision to use one’s life energy to the possibility of choice. This is the living generation of reality. 

This is called natural intelligence.
Artificial intelligence can serve natural intelligence.
It can never replace the existential courage of finite human life.  

Language is intimately interwoven with our own becoming. 
A living language lives through human choice. 

CREATING LIFE SERVING MYTHS

It is our freedom and our responsibility to create life serving possibilities in language. It is our love for life that expresses itself through us in possibilities of existence.

Not in a hidden cave, but in global awakening. Not as something far removed from everyday life, but as tools that enable us to stand up for what we are here for.

Our becoming holds the possibilities we have become, forming a new network of ideas and relationships.

This is the art of creating life serving myths. We are the instruments for the context we stand for.

With our courage and dedication to life in a context of service, we can participate in this global project and thus help shape lifeserving languages and contexts.
