Anarchic Transitions in Social Transformation 8 comments

9 Nov 2010 @ 20:53, by Max Sandor Anarchic Transitions in Social Transformation (or: "The 'radix function' in Morphic Field Processing" by Max Sandor In so-called morphogenetic fields [link] in 'evo-devo' as well as morphic fields [link] in social communities and Meme-spaces, any outer or inner conflict, and any transformation from one equilibrium into another, seems to follow a certain pattern: from an initial state, the 'organization', whether cellular or social, plunges into a confusion, a state of 'sickness', during which it is re-molding itself into a new structure before commencing to 'crystallize' into a stable shape that it will maintain until the next transformation. It looks as if the organism itself is throwing itself deliberately into a state of disarray but once it entered it appears that it finds itself the 'way out', is 'healing itself' even when left alone, an observation that was found true countless times over the last decade of doing 'Skywork' (morphic field processing), and which, if true, has implications of tremendous proportions. For once, it would make modern medicine look like barking up the wrong tree, coping with the symptoms of a self-inflicted confusion 'designed' to heal the organism and therefore PREVENTING the auto-cure instead of helping it. Anyone claiming this to be the case, would be subject to a severe witch hunt of course. If we look at social systems instead of biological entities, we find less obstacles as there are (still) few 'authorities' defending their turf. Not only would it mean that a phase of anarchy is NEEDED for any social transformation but also that any INTERFERENCE during this anarchic state of society will likely result in a new equilibrium that is NON-OPTIMUM. In contrast, an anarchic transition of a group, nation, or mankind as a whole, that would simply left by itself to happen, has a chance to result in a new and saner organization. For catalyzing social change as well as individual transformation we will have to rethink the 'way of a healer' from someone who interferes with the course of an ailment to someone who has the power of patience to guide the group or person THROUGH the valley of confusion TOWARDS a new and saner constellation of forces. Experience with MFP (morphic field processing/Skywork) shows that it is only a matter of time until a solution emerges. The amount of time needed for reorganization depends largely on the NUMBER OF CELLULAS involved in the conflict (replace cellulas with 'persons' in social contexts). The art of 'transforming' a social structure consists of 'guiding without interfering' with the scope of minimizing the time in the 'valley of tears' of the 'radical function' (see picture) and preventing other-determined influences to negatively impact the process of transformation. The 'radix' model, illustrated by the radical sign, shows clearly the drawbacks of many FLAWED efforts of morphic field processing (for courtesy, I'll omit the names of the main culprits): terminating the process BEFORE its own recuperation will leave EVERYONE who participates in the dust (ghee, how politely I talk today!). Likewise, again through observations during a decade, we can safely say that any interference, indoctrination, or manipulation of reforming social constellations during MFP, will result in NON-OPTIMUM new states of organization and that, whichever new state emerges, it will NOT BE STABLE. The time allotted for a typical MFP-session is limiting for larger social transformation challenges. The scope of such a session depends also on the PURPOSE of the 'social organism' at hand. We therefore divided our processes into three different kinds, all with their own particular sub-rules: - Skywork, for individual and small group processing (such as families) - teamshape, for organizations of any kind - Kraftwerk, for large and complex structures, such as cultural and ethnic groups and nations as well as for the purpose of studying patterns of Nature Herself.
