Gebser 2017-heiner benking concreteness in integral worlds-revisited

1. SEEING THROUGH THE WORLD: TRANSPARENCY AND PLANETIZATION 47th International Jean Gebser Society Conference - gebser.org/transparency2017 6-7 OCTOBER 2017, Judson Memorial Assembly Hall, New York, NY In Jean Gebser’s body of work, the principle of transparency is a unique expression of the emerging integral world. The nascent, integral structure of consciousness, which Gebser believed was well underway during his lifetime, could be identified by its spiritual capacity to render the world transparent, to shine through (durchscheinen) to its originary and primordial powers. The effect this would have on the previously realized structures of consciousness would be to render them diaphanous in both its dark aspects (the magic and mythic ontologies) as well as its light aspects (the mental-rational ontology). The synonyms clarity and lucidity were also provided by Gebser as qualitative descriptors—found in both the arts, through poets like Rilke, or the sciences, through physicists like Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg with the discoveries in quantum mechanics—to further elucidate the integral structure. Videoconference with Heiner Benking: Concreteness in Integral Worlds

2. The presentation by Heiner Benking revisits a previous paper delivered for the XXVII Annual Jean Gebser Conference titled Worldly Expressions of the Integral, October, 2001 at Ohio University, Athens, OH and updates on work done with Otto Schärli--- Architect, Humanist, Artist, a friend of Jean Gebser and late president of the Jean Gebser Society in Germany in the 90ies. Schärli was close to Hugo Kückelhaus, which helps us to bridge worlds of knowing and experiencing, the given or “not-given”. As the paper has not been presented due to “9/11”, some slides for clarification: “Worldview Compositions” have been added from the Altenberg workshop on „Emergence and the Psychology of Humans“: Konrad-Lorenz-Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research, 1996/97. www.gebser.org/conferences benking.de/Gebser2017.html SEEING THROUGH THE WORLD: TRANSPARENCY AND PLANETIZATION 47th International Jean Gebser Society Conference 6-7 OCTOBER 2017 Judson Memorial Assembly Hall, New York Concreteness in Integral Worlds – some constructions – Heiner Benking

Normal or Paradigmatic Science as "Puzzle-Solving" According to Kuhn, once a paradigm has been accepted by a scientific community, subsequent research consists of applying the shared methods of the disciplinary matrix to solve the types of problems defined by the exemplar. Since the type of solution that must be found is well defined and the paradigm "guarantees" that such a solution exists (though the precise nature of the solution and the path that will get you to a solution is often not known in advance), Kuhn characterizes scientific research during normal or paradigmatic science as "puzzle-solving“.

As space is entrapped in geometry's network of lines, thought is caught in its (own) inherent laws. Maps make the world comprehensible to us; we are still waiting for the star-maps of the spirit. In the same way than ambling through fields we risk getting lost, the spirit negotiates its terrain. Friedrich Rückert, Wisdom of the Brahmins a didactic poem, Charles T.

The Club of Rome Report quotes the children with „get real or get lost“. Children workshops showed in 1993 that they picked the proposed concepts up very naturally and easily, they wrote as a headline our View of Life is too Flat“. All cultures request to make words solid and use a living, embodied language with analogies and metaphors.

54. Global Sharing and Coping Starting Points uia.org HARMONIZATION The first and most central entry points have been around a G7 and SRU German Environmental experts initiative which was taken up by the UN- Environment Programme UNEP - HEM. GLOBAL CHANGE The other started with the GLOBAL CHANGE conference 1988 in Moskow. Germany and other countries had been invited to present „Challenges to Science and Politics“ in form of Conferences and Exhibitions. As I was invited to contribute I had to think anew on how such complex Issues could be communicated to the broader public, raising awareness and consciousness, and being correct and helpful for scientists, politicians, and industry at the same time. I go public now 1998 as after having this touring exhibition 8 years in Germany, but never been shown outside Germany, and being updated and in high demand, there is high danger of losing this piece and milestone. Politics look east and local when the exhibition was opened in May 1990. The result we have no public eye and information about the exhibition, its scope and results. As this is fatal in my view, I fee I have to change and address that. I could have also called this UIA guest page GLOBAL CHANGE or LOCAL AND GLOBAL CHANGE - as my work started about global environmental issues in 1988 with such wide and universal themes. Only because I was involved in two or more projects at that time, and have a certain background which was about preparing and documenting decisions and presenting results, I was able to make the bridge, combine what normally is not seen as one - or in one solution. As both project concepts are not only of wider interest and unique in their approach, specially in their time we are proposing here to follow each background independently and then join in again the flow of events.

By highlighting some of the selected crucial themes we wish to contribute in ripening of this fruits of our restless time. * The consciousness researcher Bernard Baars speaks about „global workplaces of the mind", something others, as David Feinstein and Stanley Krippner, have called „mythologies" - both cultural and personal. So the question is: Can we have a bridge between the personal, social and cultural „mythologies"? When we review the ontological question „what is real" we are immediately in the dilemma of everyone having his own perceptions and reasoning and all of us living in „parallel worlds" without any connection, without any exchange and reinforcement/acknowledgement between them.

Dialog and Peace-Making Roundtable learning from experience during the last 40 years and new ideas Stumbling blocks preventing true dialog, peace-making, and reconciliation: 1) we fight over words but do not check the meaning, 2) we do not question and compare the values attached to statements and attitudes, 3) we do not contextualize and embody concepts and meaning, do not check the sectors, regions, scales, proportions and consequences of alternative actions, 4) we do not give voice, empower, listen, cherish and cultivate difference or variety in dialog and decision making, 5) Disorientation and dumbing-down in Cyberculture and a mis-administered and misunderstood, intangible “Glocalisation”: Where we get overloaded by communication noise (sign/symbol melange) and media demagogy which means: no trust and fidelity in the statements and no ways and means to check the credibility and impact/relevance, and get lost between the scales, brackets, and sectors. 6) The above incompatibility and incomparability opens the door for over-claims and oversimplifications.

Schärli was close to Hugo Kückelhaus, which helps us to bridge worlds of knowing and experiencing, the given or “not-given”. As the paper has not been presented due to “9/11”, some slides for clarification: “Worldview Compositions” have been added from the Altenberg workshop on „Emergence and the Psychology of Humans“: Konrad-Lorenz-Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research, 1996/97.

116. benking.de/dialog/LJUBLJANA-DIALOGUES.htm Ljubljana meeting is inspired by our deep conviction that there are huge paradigmatic changes going on right now and that some extremely important new discoveries are "hanging in the air" right ahead of us. By highlighting some of the selected crucial themes we wish to contribute in ripening of this fruits of our restless time. * The consciousness researcher Bernard Baars speaks about „global workplaces of the mind", something others, as David Feinstein and Stanley Krippner, have called „mythologies" - both cultural and personal. So the question is: Can we have a bridge between the personal, social and cultural „mythologies"? When we review the ontological question „what is real" we are immediately in the dilemma of everyone having his own perceptions and reasoning and all of us living in „parallel worlds" without any connection, without any exchange and reinforcement/acknowledgement between them.
