Core Reality Constructs and Our Ideological Inheritance

In part 1 of the Arts and Science of Synchronicity I made mention of what I term a core reality construct.

A core reality construct (CRC) is comprised of either proven and or, unproven concepts describing how we think the phenomenal world operates.

It is how we explain the how, when and why of what happens, has happened or will happen in our universe and with regards to human to human interaction and between humans and their environment.

In part 1 of the Art and  Science of Synchronicity I go on to describe how the foundation of the Western worldview is based on a CRC devised over 5000 years ago by the founders of Western Civilization. The foundation of the Western worldview is all too well preserved in the form of Biblical scripture.

The first “book” of the Bible, Genesis, laid down the core reality constructs that have governed Western thought and behavior for the last 5000 years or so. Those wanting a deeper review of the foundational ideology of Western Civilization may review my article entitled  Deconstructing the Biblical “Fall of Man”: Insight into the Source of our Misery–Ancient and Modern.

The JCCC: A Dysfunctional Worldview

The key point made in my introduction to the Art and Science of Synchronicity, as far as core reality constructs are concerned, is that the Western worldview is anti-nature, anti-women and anti-other at its core and therefore ill equipped to accurately and effectively relate its adherents to the whole of nature in a healthy and ecological way.

I go on denounce the Western worldview as a dysfunctional and incoherent thought complex at the root of the world’s social, economic and environmental problems.

As a way to increase social coherence and ecological integration I propose the Art and Science of Synchronicity as a knowledge base founded on our verifiable understanding of nature and with the intent to reconcile science with the mythosophical (art/spirituality/religion/philosophy). Continue…
