Edward de Bono’s [Bi]Lateral Thinking [Feeling]

From Edward de Bono’s Lateral Thinking: Creativity Step by [NonHierarchical] Step, pp. 297-8, 1970

Summary

The emphasis in education has always been on logical sequential thinking which is by [deductively analytical academic] tradition the only proper [true, good, and pretty] use of information.
Creativity [like regenerativity] is vaguely encouraged as some [healthy yet] mysterious[ly beautiful empathic] talent. This book has been about [bi]lateral thinking.
Lateral thinking is not a substitute for the traditional [hierarchical, either-or choice-making eco]logical thinking but a necessary [bilateral Left-Right] complement.
Logical thinking is quite incomplete without lateral[ly stretching ecoconscious health+/pathology-,-] thinking.

Lateral [intuitive empathic feeling] thinking makes quite a different use of [internal/external climate-health/pathology] information from logical (vertical) [hierarchically-nested] thinking.
For instance the need to be right at every step is absolutely essential to logical thinking but quite unnecessary in lateral [organic gestalt empathic] thinking. [with heuristic implicate health/pathology feeling]
It may sometimes be necessary to be [heuristically, imaginatively] wrong in order to dislocate [stress, dissonate] a [thoroughly orthodox] pattern sufficiently for it to re-form in a new way.
With logical thinking one makes immediate judgments,
with lateral thinking one may [must?] delay judgments in order to allow information to interact and generate new [multicultural framing of climate issue] ideas.

The twin aspects of [bi]lateral thinking are first the provocative use of [potentially integrative] information
and second the [resonance] challenge to accepted [exegetical] concepts.
Under[story]lining both these [healthing climate] aspects is the main purpose of [bi]lateral thinking which provides a means to restructure [ecopolitical health v. pathology] patterns.
This restructuring of patterns is necessary to make better [cooperative] use of [(0)sum/core/soul networking] information that is already [multiculturally] available [to ego/ecobalancing consciousness].
It [multiculturally polypathic restructuring of eco-health v degenerative egocentric pathology] is an insight restructuring.

The mind[body] is a [fractal WinWin DNA/RNA designed window-climate] pattern making [eco]system. The [eisegetically stretching heuristic] mind creates [cause-effect rhythm nutrition] patterns out of the environment and then recognizes and uses [reincarnates, repurposes] such [ecological] patterns.
This is the basis of its [regenerate, reiterative] effectiveness.
Because the sequence of arrival of [embryonic good v toxic] information determines how it is to be arranged into a [developmentally healthy-confluent-consilient-syncretic] pattern,
such patterns are always [normally, evolutionally, BusinessAsUsual?] less than the best possible [revolutionarily nutrition-optimized] arrangement of information.
In order to bring such [ecological cooperative-climate model] patterns up to date
and so make better use of the contained [potential integrative] information
one needs a mechanism for [more than deductive-alone] insight restructuring.
This can never be provided by [diseco]logical thinking which works to relate accepted [exegetical, orthodox ecopolitical healthywealth] concepts not to [optimally] restructure them.
[Bi]Lateral thinking is demanded by the [organic-syncretic-empathic] behaviour of this [deductive-only] type of [suboptimizing] information processing system in order to bring about [more optimal] insight [of richer nutritious] restructuring.
The [basic co-empathic trust stretching] provocative function of lateral thinking and the [either-or] challenging [both-and] function are both directed towards this end.
In both cases information is used in a [health-holistic-positive deviance] manner that goes beyond reason for [eco]lateral [metaphoric] thinking works outside of [ecologically restrained] reason.
Yet the need for lateral thinking is based quite [eco]logically on the [nutritional] deficiencies of a self-maximizing [ego-only monocultural] memory system which is the type of [reductiveEmpty yet organicInterdependent] system that makes the mind capable of humour [good and bad].

Lateral thinking works at an earlier [more primal interrelational] stage than [deep-etched] vertical thinking. Lateral thinking is used to [invites syncretic] restructure the [linear monocultural cause-effect string] perceptual pattern which is the way a situation is looked at [framed, and sometimes gradually acclimated toward].
Vertical thinking then accepts that perceptual [climate-gestalt] pattern and [re]develops [stretches toward?] it.
Lateral thinking is [stretch to rebalance] generative, vertical [ecopolitical] thinking [and acting] is [BusinessAsCompetitivelyUsual–WinLose] selective.
[Regenerative climate-health] Effectiveness is the aim of both.

EcoPolitics of Psychologically Healthy Climates

If you don’t like the look or taste or smell of an Old Overly-Competitive Climate, then notice how it is slowly and intricately evolving into and toward dipolar abundance as a Revolutionary New EcoPolitical System, hopefully and empathically more trustingly and faithfully cooperative.  (A very loose paraphrase of Buckminster Fuller on great transitioning between old and new systems as  information-ing networks, and cooperatively developing ecopolitical climates.)

To love, agapic and/or erotic,
is a positive economic-political relational choice
to trust whomever
and whatever
is our Other right now
with our open caring empathy,
even when we may feel like withdrawing
into our suffering,
self-isolating
depressive,
repressed concerns of mistrust and dissonance,
because we have faith
that not only is this choice to integratively love,
to pay love forward,
how we define doing our ecopolitical and ecological best,
but also because we trust from prior experience
this is most likely to facilitate Others
doing their best as well.

Circles of affection and disaffection are both viral,
but only one is viciously so,
Both positive and negative psyches unveil viscous potential,
but only one tends toward sustained reiterative communication
in kind,
benign,
the other viscosity trends toward unkind, active distrust,
eventually hatred,
also a learned ecopolitical choice, at one time,
over several habitual and then hypnotizing times.

When this becomes most interesting for me
when I turn from thinking of Other as a person
or a group of people
or a set of people
or the human natural-languaged species,
and think, instead of Other as a member of some other organic species,
including those with root systems,
including coral reefs and tidal barriers,
or even other natural Black Hole environments and gestalts,
networking mandalas of seas
and mountain trails
throughout the changing of each season,
where love is my ubiquitously obvious and natural default,
not so much feeling like a choice,
but like what I have known as good and healthy and beautiful,
occasionally interrupted by pests.

Yet, even noticing whiney mosquitoes
and buzzing icky biting flies,
short of a horde swarming all about paranoid me,
is often cause for bittersweet slaps and swats
and imaginary battles between David and Goliath,
with me cast as the benignly-intended Monster Giant,
merely out to protect my own skin
regardless of mortal consequences
and risks
and ecopolitical opportunities
of Other,
smashed to bits.

When my days become overly clogged with strictly human discourse,
when human nature monopolizes my monoculturish time,
my symbol seems to be that of a molting snake,
awakening to a new but uncertain skin each dewy morning,
a somewhat different identity
than those accumulated through all my dreamy/nightmare yesterdays.

But, when I recreate outdoors
in and with and of more virginal embryonic Earthy nature,
then my icon becomes an inviting hummingbird,
always curiously flying about seeking and sending succulent rapture,
far too fast and urgently blissful for noticing,
much less slitherally eating, those pesky mosquitoes.

Inviting co-empathic trust
defines
Doing my best to follow
our Golden Rule,
for and of and with me
and my Elders
and our kids.

Inviting empathic cooperatively-invested trust
is to invite a climate of informed
incarnate
kosmic risks and opportunities
usually small yet sometimes Great Transitions
of Grace as Love as Karma as Positive Psychology
as a healthy regenerative ecopolitical gestalt,
mandala,
network,
ecosystem,
Earth,
natural-spiritual dipolar co-arising
profane-sacred
humane-divine
Tao-BiCameral Universe
of Snakes greeting Hummingbirds
and notnot dialectal vice-viral-versa.

Christ and Laotse

A Tao (0)Mega Tipping Point Zen-Christ
could become no better or worse than your own spiritual experiences
of your own bicameral mindbody of Christianity.
These Christ-icons are all made of the same LeftBrain yeast
becoming fully diastatic bread
becoming RightBrain’s fully diastatically Beloved Community Body.

Jesus of Nazareth
was neither the first nor last
to recognize both Self and Other
as bread of life
sun of life
light of life
son/daughter of life
words of life
yeast of life
body of life
body and blood of life.

On the other hand
Laotse may have been the first and last
to see Self within syncretically enculturing ElderOther
dipolar yeast health-diastolic,
avoiding more static flat-line pathologies.

Tao of Yang body-life
reverse-facing double notnot humored YinYin
wu wei’s flow of diastatic ego-death,
reproduces a great deal of in-between cognitive-affective dissonance,
so the devil appears within details
inscrutable Eastern nondual co-arising ecometric politics of namaste,
LeftBrain Western enculturation dominance
tolerates, with chronic stress irritations,
all our yeasty Taos
of full 7-Grain Sabbath Breads of Life
longing to conjoin
in and through Beloved Spirit-Natured Communities.

I suppose a Jewish therapist
deeply immersed within the Torah,
reading words of Jesus
in the first three gospels
might easily imagine these the teachings
of an often depressed schizophrenic
with compulsive self-obsession
as a sacrificial lamb
living in an unredeemed economy,
but this sidesteps sacred truths,
yeast does transubstantiate diastolically through organic bodies,
a positively deviant virus becoming fertile nutritional commodities
for anthrocentrically benign-as-healthy
wealthy evolving purposes,
preferences,
norms,
traditions,
etching yet evolving through yeasty regenerations
of self-redeeming health with beauty generations.

If the original primal Christian intent
was also the Tao of Self+Other ecoconscious
egocentric sacrifice to (0)Zen Center,
then Jesus of Nazareth was also transubstantiating
Eastern nondual co-arising ecology of nature-spirit mindbodies
into Jewish sacred organic ecopolitically correct sheepish language.

But, this inquisition about
humane icons with divinely evolving spirit-souls,
each holonically RNA/DNA integrative-proportional-relational
instructions for a folding
unfolding
refolding
prefolding fractal Universe of organic health becoming
continues within each living cell’s core rooting system,
each yeasty plasmatic culture,
each health v pathology subclimate
with four equivalent seasons,
trinitarian LeftBrain traces
across bilaterally eternal co-present notpast/notfuture
RightBrain time.

Elder RightBrains never die,
they simply enter and exit deep erotic/agapic sleeps,
co-arising positives as notnot quite so much is more.

Sacred Ecology Channel

“…a network.., in the local [RightBrain] language,
is called ‘mandala’.
I’m more [LeftBrain] comfortable
with the word ‘ecology,’
but they’re very closely overlapping ideas.
At the root,
is the notion that ideas [like energy and climates] are interdependent,
interacting, that ideas [unlike regenerative climates,
organic nutritional processes
like evolutions of
Earth and Ego and Anthro Creation Stories] live and die.
The ideas [with co-arising negative feelings of distrust
as cognitive-affective dissonance]
that die do so
because they don’t fit with the others.
[Until they do; then they’re called revolutionary.]
So I thought I would try to unravel for you
some of the ecology [climatology, cosmology],
something of the position and nature of the [RightBrain] ‘sacred’
in the [LeftBrain] ecological system.”
Gregory Bateson, p. 265, Sacred Unity: Further steps to an ecology of mind.

Ideas with feelings attached,
like ecological subclimates,
internal landscapes,
health/pathology-delivering nutritional systems
of ecopolitically effective/dissonant communication,
and these Self+ElderOther enculturing strings of self-optimizing RNA/DNA
can pathologically die
because they do not fit confluently
optimally
with and for and of Earth
and Her great transitioning Universe.

While many teachers and prophets,
writers and philosophers,
scientists and community public/private ecopolitical health developers,
have shown an articulate interest
in the sacred mandala
ecological climate of nature-spirit bicameral mind,
(Jaynes, Bateson, Jung, R.D. Laing, Laotse, Bucky Fuller as Convex/Concave)
most have examined economic cooperative minds without political bodies
as stand alone elephants in a laboratory room,
rather than a healthy eating and pooping economy
herding with other likely mindbodies
on and in Earth’s multiculturally complex dialectal subclimates
ranging from regeneratively nutritional
through starving stagnant purgative drought.

Political ecology of sacred organic healthy choices
and other, more high risk eisegetically competitive ideas
with their ambivalent wu wei Tippy off-centered feelings,
these, like egos,
unlike ecoRightProportion-Only TemporalMinds,
reweave life and death cycles all our own
within Earth’s multicultural healthing ecopolitical network,
mandala,
sacred integrative ecology.

Earth’s creation evolves regeneratively
because both here and there
both is and notnot is
a divine creator shadow within each and every ego
cooperatively supported
by each living cell’s prime-thermodynamic
seeking ionic/ergodic co-gravitating balance within
temporal co-present empathic/trusting climates,
rich multicultural Yangform/Yinreverse-double-bind function
dipolar tempered-humored composts
fueling healthy network sublimely cooperative
WinWin HumaneGod/dess identity trajectory,
composed of Beloved
Diastolic
Optimally Sustainable
EcoPolitical Health Communities,
Climates,
Sacred Ecologies.

Maps and Organic SpaceTime Territories

Positive mental map messages
contain no more or less effective information
than appositional negatives notnot.
Both language map
and spacetime’s notnot body referents
ecosystems of organic binomial life
loving and leaving days and time and lives
changing our collective DNA map
as mind experiences and dreams and imagines
our better richer sacred liturgy
fending off worse notnot quite balanced resonant rituals

Organic messengers passed down through all of Noah’s Ark
flowing in and through our ocean rivers

reweaving everything as also notnot anything,
every organic being,
every place on and in this referent Earth
ours to love as re-dis-cover.

Climate Addictions v Adaptations

It appears that Feyerabend presents a more accurate normative gestalt
for RightBrain epistemological climates,
how RightBrain solves chaotic environmental puzzles,
while Popper is better for LeftBrain deduction,
diastolic evolving unfolding
of syllogistic logic.
Together evolving toward a dipolar truth
of balancing flexibiity
trending toward regenerative health optimization,
accuracy of truth meets beauty,
as yang embraces yin,
as deduction reweaves induction.

Julian Jaynes and Carl Jung
describe a redundantly held ecology of mind and body,
spirit and nature,
anima and animus as did Laotse,
each within an interdependent histo-cultural paradigmatic dialect,
or gestalt.

This interdependence may be explored
using Gregory Bateson’s mapping v referent model,
searching for WinWin health outcomes,
using ecological-fractal strictures
of seasonal folding and unfolding,
cause and effect,
primal Creation Story analogies
in geometric ecosystems with (0)-sum Tipping Points.

Buckminster Fuller
and other alchemists present dialectal patterns confluent with climate
and chemistry
and anthromorphic character dipolarities
of appositional metric self-referencing design.

This interweaving revolving architecture
of Earth’s metaphysical and physical evolution
is easier to see
from an Eastern philosophic nondual co-arising nature
as spiritual systemic polypathic universal assumption.

Bateson’s economic and ecology
and logical type epistemology
is also about generating great and small revolutions
in healthy gestalt homeostasis,
in which human mindbodies adjust within Earth’s environment.
For example,
internal acclimation is human nature’s response
to altitude change in atmospheric climates,
where initial cognitive/affective/autonomic dissonance symptoms
cause stress,
until lung-brain body resolves internal climate discord.
Flexibility refers to readjustments in Tipping Point balance
between TooMuchYang/TooLittleYin,
where Yang is Positive Polynomial
and Yin is NotNot POlynomial equi-valent balancing,
so that internal polynomial ecosystems
become once again confluent with NotNot Polynomial Earth’s climatic
effects on human Tao (0)-souled nature/spirits,
ecology of minds and bodies,
reverse analogies and correlates of Left Deductive with Right Inductive processors
of dialectal exegetical information
AND eisegetical inductive decompositional function
of prime (0)-sum thermodynamic dipolar co-arising regenerate relationship.

This might be easier to see
if Bateson had adapted Russell’s ‘higher’ logical type language
to emphasize revolutionary,
as opposed to BusinessAsUsual evolutionary
cultural day-to-day development,
climate searches for more health and less pathology
are a return to a deeper ecological balancing flexibility physiology-psychology gestalt.
Whether using ‘higher’ or ‘deeper’ is an arbitrary perspective
within any universal field of inquiry,
as Buckminster Fuller perhaps too redundantly reminded us,
unto near death.

Addiction to acclimated cultural norms, then,
is ecopolitical marginalization,
and sometimes criminalization,
rather than the more positive adaptational flexibility expected
of human nature’s kosmic evolution
on and within Earth’s RNA/DNA encrypted
(0)-soul-sum-core-eco/interest power-balance.

To be consistent,
society must yet resolve our willingness
to live with patently fascist conclusions
that all mental illness is a form of negative addiction.
And, even if so,
which seems unlikely,
then precisely how are we addicted (adapted)
to which climate pathologies
and which ecopolitical therapies
might resolve these culturally normed symptoms
of too LeftBrain dominant mental illness?

Our Home Right and Wrong

Earth’s Rights
and Lefts
for
and to
a Healthy Climate;
and please not so much climatic pathologies
for Her
and all her EarthTribal RNA/DNA encrypted species,
extended families,
if you could imagine for a minute
this vast coin-sedately breathing organic network
hoping together for Earth’s Present Future Rights,
and not those pesky Wrongs.

Whaddaya mean?
Earth could have no rights.
It’s a planet
not a person.

Oh, great, a heckler.
Just what I need right now.
Excuse me, didn’t you give corporations ecopolitical rights of persons?
Can’t you see Earth as the ultimate incorporated person?
with internationally protected rights and responsibiities
and ecological authorities
to behave with ecotherapeutic healthy nutritious ecopolitical practice?

I thought so.
Earth wants us to know
She agrees with our ecologists and economists
and our more cooperative multicultural political leaders
seeking to advance healthy-wealthy climates
and recess those too pathological.

She wants us to remember
together we have every regenerative right of therapeutic solidarity
to broadly expand current normative exegesis
of our PermaCultural Golden Rule:

Do to Earth
as She has done,
is doing,
and is cooperatively committed to regeneratively continue evolving
into our future time;
as you would optimally trend HealthWealth Quality Improvement
through WinWin strategies of Cooperative EcoPolitical Systems,
regenerative,
healthy,
sustainable,
therapeutic,
ecological,
economic,
political,
psychological,
biological outcomes,
as you would have Her continue unto/with you
and all your future and past fellow-EarthTribe
(0)-soul
sum
core
bilateral-binomial-binary-functional dipolar investments
on through all our future healthy multiculturally
cooperative-normed regenerations,
revolutions,
resonance,
resolutions, etc…

Following diastatically elational,
bliss-filled beautiful harmonious
irresolutely nonpolynomially exformationally out
away from (0)Core dualdark cosmology,

Predicting regeneratively reweaving healthy
integrative
informing
in-tellus-anthromorphic
Black Hole MultiFrequencied Blissful
dipolar co-arising
co-gravitating
Yang/Yin humors,
climates of health v pathology
in all ecosystems evolving
emerging
from and toward
historic-cultural paradigm development,
Creation Stories of myth with logos,
yin as yang,
RightInductive-Recessive as LeftBrain Deductive-Dominant.

Neither natural nor encultured conduct codes
have any interest in healthy v pathological norms and behaviors
of corporations and their rights and responsibilities.
Law and logic are neutral
regarding public health.

I doubt your law is so anemic.
But, if true,
we need to work on that,
preferably in a more multiculturally inclusive-cooperative way
of dialectal discernment
for ecopolitical WinWin choice-making,
as mentored by regenerative Earth’s nondual co-arising Rights
of Healthy Nature-Spirit EcoSystems.

So corporate Earth’s Rights
are to be exegeted by natural law
as if kosmic karma,
coincidental past cause with future regenerate/degenerate outcomes?

And Grace,
don’t forget about our Evangelicals,
Western and Middle-Eastern Fundamentalists,
who themselves too pathologically forget
that Grace is just another word for love.

And Buckminster Fuller comprehended love
as just another metaphysical word
for physical-natural-spiritual-ergodic-ionic-eutaxic
prime relational fractal-octave
syntaxed
harmonic integrating synergy,
like photosynthetic regenesis
as primal relationship of Sun’s fertile Light
with Earth’s Green/Blue double-boundaried in/out
(0)-soul evolving healthy cooperative BubbleSkin.

BubbleSkin.
Really?
You begin with Earth Rights
to end with BubbleSkin therapy?

Recycling of time’s revolutions
either has no beginning or end
or these are each appositional faces of
bicameral EarthElite v AnthroNonElite ecopolitical revolution,
learnin’ us some lessons in mutual cooperativity.

Final Operatic Scores

Of all vocations calling each of us
perhaps it is this final ecopolitical stage
most arduous.

To reflect with full integrity,
both Left dominant hubris history
with Right-recessed notnot full incarnation,
those unfulfilled promise valleys of aptic time
lost to Ego’s yangish self-promoting memory,
past vocations sequentially emerging transubstantiations,
pregnantly nurtured with Left/ElderRight bicameral balance.

But, balancing or notnot yet,
to reconsider one’s sins,
both consummated and omitted,
bringing slow-growth ballast to one’s enculturation of grace,
both those healthier blessings fully consumed
as therapeutically strived for regenerate production,
yet also known only through past struggles stretching ego-compassion’s constitutions,
declarations of Self+Other incorporating cooperative interdependence,
laughter’s miraculous love moments
best shared, yes,
but yet bittersweet nutrition alone,
remembering what lives best not forgotten.

This final vocation,
to merge our previous lives together
with those we hope to follow.

Ta(0)-zen Climate Healthy PolyPaths

The more continuous from past through future our ego-stretching identity becomes,
the more god/dess-humane omnipotent emerges
our original polypathic multicultural intent
and future climate health practice.

Consilience,
co-empathic democratic trust,
between religious faith systems,
each transubstantiating interdependent spiritual dynamics among ourselves,
we call syncretism.

Reconciling trust between ecopolitical paradigms as health-thru-dying networks of dialectal values,
transliterating our natural ionic,
bionic,
and ergodic rhythmed dynamics,
we call integrative synergy.

Energy,
as polypathic space
equivocating coincidental co-arising
bilateral time,
equivalent dipolar images, consciousness
within inductive-empathic notnot polynomial balance.

Yes, all 3D Space and 1DipolarTime are interdependently relative,
but, no, not so normatively relative that
c-squared enlightenment could be any more or less than Eulerian Prime Geo/Eco/Ego DiPolar Systemic Relationship e-squared,
with slow-grow (0)-Core/Care/Sum/Soul MultiCultural Interest/Investment
Fractal-Acidic-Convexing flow-forming regenerate Order.

With such reconciling consilience in (0) mind as (1) body,
it feels increasingly important, even urgent,
to remember that I am most fully Divine Energy
when I fully comprehend we grow health-reconciling active trusters
doing the best we can to democratically re-gather
as NotNot Gods–Wise Elder Nurturing Gaia Goddesses.

We feel primal therapeutic multicultural recalling-incarnating-evolving corollaries:
God is discontinuously me with belief in you,
also half Divine and half Humanizing, humaneing,
wise cooperative regeneration,
becoming and notnot being words-within as informing-without.

We recall intelligent truth as beauty-design genius
across multicultural fields
and paradigms
and rhetorical frames
and landscaped climates of ecotherapeutic health resonance
overpowering dissonant suboptimal underproductive pathologies
to become reconciling polypaths,
eco-consiliating residents of Earth consciousness.

Political Science becomes, then, cooperative studies
of and for ecopolitically cooperate-reconciling powers-with,
not so much corporate-competing suboptimally losing powers-over,
less than omnipotent eco-power balancing intent
stuck in Business As Usual economic practice.

Ecopolitical powers both evolve from and contribute to
future climate health of multicultural regenerativity
as powers of cooperation absorb mono-teleological,
mono-theistic,
mono-enculturing power-over intent
and capital-hoarding economic non-transactional absence of healthy practice.

It may be helpful to recall investment,
whether time or money, preferably both,
implies hope for fertile outcomes.
Just as science emerged from nature-spirit religious system investments,
to become an independent,
yet also interdependent, anthrocentric learning system,
so too religious experience emerged from eco/geometric rhythmed
philosophically rich words about why continuing cooperative phenomena feel
and think
and taste of richer healthy nutrition,
and discontinuous-competing distrustful phenomena
speak of hate and mutual disgust and anger and fear of godless eternal wilting starvation stink and death
in hellfires of solar great transitional climate regeneration.
