To multiply and liberate…
Or divide and conquer?
In many walks of life we see the principle of ‘divide and conquer’ being applied.
It can be said that this principle is the opposite or complementary version of ‘multiply and liberate’.
The divide and conquer principle can be better viewed as specialisation, separation, dissection, digitisation, particulation, integeration, and other similar themed words, well-known and less-known.
Relative to the analogue or all-together theme of whole nature, the divide and conquer principle creates artificial concepts, even though it is driven by our human nature. It does therefore have a natural purpose, even though it creates artificial concepts.
When properly applied by the intellect — that is, in relative moderation — the divide and conquer principle can produce increasingly positive outcomes, which we consider ‘good’ for us, individually and collectively. Beyond a certain point, however, beyond relative moderation, the divide and conquer principle can produce increasingly negative or not-so-good outcomes.
Diminishing returns
In the world of economics, this principle is embodied in the concept of UTILITY.
The idea of utility highlights that there is a tipping point in the consumption of anything. Up to that point the law of diminishing returns applies, where the additional benefit gained becomes less and less, there is in a sense a deceleration of total utility or overall satisfaction in what is being consumed.
Beyond that point, we enter into an increasingly negative territory of mind, and of course in body, the body being a reflective state of the mind, individually and collectively.
This turbulence is further reflected in our emotional states, in a parallel way to how the earth and its residents experience climate change and planetary upheavals.
These are all the hints and clues that we are currently experiencing a state of overdoing or overworking the divide and conquer principle, so much so that it is causing us, individually and as a whole race of humankind, a great deal of harm. The very fact that we refer to this natural process as ‘divide and conquer’ is in itself one of the biggest clues, as it indicates a state of destructive violence, rather than its true interpretation which is reflective of the state of natural creative thrust and its evolutionary intent.
This state of destructive violence is fundamentally a result of each natural wave of creative thrust being suppressed, until it no longer can be suppressed because it is fuelled by immense amounts of natural power, so ultimately exploding as destructive violence, as big bangs rather than expressive melodies, in each moment of experience.
In other words, it is bottled-up feelings, emotions, thoughts and overall creativity bursting to get out. It is mental action seeking physical form, powered by nature, and temporarily suppressed by strongly held belief systems which are built on false or over-developed artificial premises.
Such over-development is a result of creating certain kinds of over-artificial concoctions and conditions within a mind-body-spirit which are the equivalent of using performance-enhancing drugs in sporting activities — wholly unnecessary but happening because the qualitative mechanics of whole time and its natural timing are not being properly taught, causing bastardised and ultimately backfiring ways being sought by the creative human mind in an attempt to access the ‘next level’, which is now possible but not through such incomplete or less-dimensional methods.
Timing & Intuition
Put simply, to properly maintain positive outcomes, to maintain quality, it is important to practice good timing.
It may be thought that the intellect is best at maintaining good timing, but it is not. The ‘job’ of keeping good time is principally held by the intuition, which then communicates this timing, through feelings and emotions, to the intellect, for the intellect to then makes certain creative decisions as to ‘what to do next’.
The principal ‘job’ of the intellect is to create and consolidate, to explore and tidy up, to differentiate and integrate, in infinite ways — all in a cyclical or wave-like fashion, always in flux. As it does this it helps to create waveforms of particles which we perceive as our physical experience — this physical experience always then reflecting our state or balance of mind, individually and collectively.
The reason the intellect is not best placed to keep time is because it experiences a lag factor, it has to wait on ‘facts’ appearing before it can make calculations and decisions going forward. It lags in the same way that a moving average lags in its output. The intellect then is in one way always behind time, operating from ‘the past’, or past data, as we currently experience it.
The intuition is however closer to the ‘live game’, as we may call it, closer to the ‘now’ moment or origin point, which to the intellect as we currently operate it will interpret as ‘the future’ — remember that the intellect is always in a state of lag, as it has to wait for solid ‘facts’ to appear from each idea-maker’s mental actions.
Idea-Makers
Idea-makers are individuals, like you and me. It is important to understand that the intellect and intuition are faculties of the individual, not the individual itself as a whole. The individual is the whole which creates itself by making its whole ‘greater’ than the sum of its parts — with the intuition and the intellect being examples of such natural parts or faculties of being.
It is exceptionally important to recognise that this ‘greatness’, this natural power, cannot happen without the proper application and synthesis of both the intellect and the intuition.
This approach then requires a degree of self-responsibility to be exercised before such self-power can be actualised, or triggered. True equality of intuition and intellect needs to be reached and maintained through thick and thin, and this can only begin within the mind of each individual, ‘before’ it is then reflected outwards into physical action and mass reality, or ‘fact’.
The true power then sits within the specific choices made by each individual — by first seeking equality within your own self by allowing your intellect and your intuition to work in harmony with each other, to complement each other, for the purposes of creating great outcomes, a good quality of life, individually and collectively.
When each individual chooses to enable such equality within, this contributes to the whole ‘critical mass’ equation of humankind, gradually enabling the whole of humankind, as an evolving race, to go the next level, individually and collectively, to multiply and liberate.
