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.

Toward a PostFeminist History of Climate Health v Pathology

Sometimes, as individuals
and as a learning species,
we jump too quickly,
eagerly,
enthusiastically on empathic trust feelings of familiarity,
forgetting these may include both health with pathological tensions
residing within this intuitive moment,
this feeling of happiness toward potential true and good futures
yet I really do prefer to squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom-up,
more systematically.

Familiarity,
like family,
and ethnic affiliations,
rarely leads to undiluted polypathic confluence,
nutritional flow of health into our shared truth as beauty futures;
something short of mindbody nirvana.

Our languaged history of cultural evolution
shows us that our paradigmatic models,
gestalts,
perform our exegetical functions as best they can
to understand as flawed-and-yet-sufficiently-functional
eisegetical theories.
Our competing exegetical models sometimes outlast their partially cast-aside as flawed eisegetical heuristic origins,
now set in exegeting tools of language
for building our past through future enculturing story,
in imagination,
in thought as trust-belief,
in empathic feelings of proportion and symmetry,
as active heuristic ecopolitical assumptions,
rooted in ecological RNA/DNA scripted Elders’ familiar models,
embryonic healthy-regeneration fold/unfold gestalts.

History models,
creation narratives,
classic, familiar, exegeted and retold tales
tell an evolving and/or devolving regeneration story.
Theories bring language to ecological-analogically confluent v dissonant experience
of truth/beauty as mind/body,
anima/animus,
eco-norm/poli-power partial truth as flawed beauty
of thought with concomitant feelings,
co-arising and nondual,
dipolar cultural functions
of Yang LeftBrain languaged,
and Yin RightBrain temporal-proportional wu wei balance;
Tipping EcoPolitical Points within BiCameral Systems Theory,
mutually mentoring internal symbiotic dialogue
about exegetical power trusts
and eisegetical empathic beauties,
like seeds learning to become deep ecology rooted and branching systems
for shading over-heated climates
and breathing over-carboned air.

Economic mental value-health as physical political incarnation power
presents a post-feminist nondual ecological enculturation  as investment model
of proportional truth,
exegetically RNA/DNA balanced
embryonic WinWin unfolding ecological within our wider bicameral lens
of eisegetical heuristic articulations,
discontinuous experience
with continuous flow of confluent identity memory
flowing in and through regenerations of blood-fueled time.

For me,
and I suspect for an entire Great Transitional Climate Health ReGeneration
revolving in our postmillennial spacetime,
flawed competing-for-survival models of cultural learning
as if natural BusinessAsUsual evolution,
interspersed with ectosymbiotic autonomic-enthymematic revolutions
of transformative ecosystemic cooperative network speculation,
will reverse,
about-face,
evaporate within our ecologically cooperative network
WinWin Game-On
polypathic nurturing structures.

This suggests a healthier,
more balanced exegetical model of ecological evidence
supporting regeneratively evolutionary best practices
optimizing cooperative ecopolitical mindbody co-arising revolutions
will prevail as interior landscaped models
deeply rooting in cooperative-dominant exterior landscapes
speaking of shared EarthTribal interests
in consilient paradigmatic histories
remembering integral-dialectical synergetic biologically organic theories
of regenerative embryonic revolutions
with their subsequent slower-growth evolutions
as multicultural articulation
of RNA/DNA ecopolitical solidarity.

Wealth Without Walls

We pursue endless climate sabbaths,
I perhaps best and worst of all,
holidays of verdant forests floating within
oceans of atmospheric tides sucking and spewing nutrient flowing matters,
slow-dancing ecopolitical issues reincarnating history
of Earth’s love of Time Herself,
rich bubbling pastures for fertile economies
of harmonically choreographed dress rehearsals,
moving from today’s creation curtain back toward First Act
preparing already our next great transition,
another season of ecopolitical regenerate life
in Promising Lands and Prophetic Seas.

Economy, like Sabbath,
epiphanies a cooperatively normed word
and competitively abnormal climate function
for any sustainable ecosystem
including bio-networking human-nature-systems

To act economically, we practice ecopolitical health.
Practice, practice, practice makes further economic climates.

My economy,
running through my days and nights,
weeks and calendar-scheduled months,
me performing with cooperative intent
internally as externally,
organically bilateral,
binomial in as out reflecting in,
bisexual Yang-form power with Yin-flow fluid function strength,
interacting as peacefully as possible,
listening deeply for my own arrogant egocentric injustices
to myself and others,
excesses of shutting-you-out power,
most vulnerably over-exercised on those I live with
and work with each day.

My competing economic-political behavior feels like struggling against
some other competitive economic force,
stronger and thereby darkly compelling,
while my cooperative ecopolitical evolution feels struggle within
my own extended family of confusion, miscommunication,
lack of sufficient awareness
that our WinLose feelings and predictions
are rooted in embryonic experience of WinWin norm-expectations for life
in this EarthTribe Cooperative.

I have a healthy economic life
and one more pathologically egocentric,
with monoculturing intent,
feeding on ethnocentric hubris
yet sabbathed in anthro-enculturing Elders,
looking for a co-messianic bodhisattva EarthTribe economy.

Ecosystems like me,
prefer our healthy ecological economies
with mutual subsidiary, multiorganic cooperation.
I expect our political power-relationships
to normatively reflect our economically balancing (0)-sum intent
and orthopraxis centers,
which is why I do not want bicameral governance structures quarreling against,
rather than discerning with,
co-empathic trust in our shared economy
as karmic
and graceful
and incarnational
and evolutionary
and even sometimes revolutionary WinWin cooperative intent.

This is how we have all been raised together
from originating Yang-sperm and Yin-oceanic eggs,
Animus-yolk hemoglobic egocenters
and Anima-nurturing chlorophyllic green ecosystems
of embryonic-empathic trust forests
in healthy economic nutritional-branching and rooting truths
as ecopolitical sabbath beauty choices.

Sabbath climates invite cooperative opportunities
where daily grinds compete to improve WinLose risks and odds pathologies
as if these could be remembered
as a good and true anthro-embryonic history
of new life revolutions.

BareBones EcoPolitical Zeroism

Radicals of PostMillennial Zeroism,
like Fundamental-Basic PreMillennial Taoism:

Yang presents unmitigated monopolistic political omnipotence.

Yin hides totally purged (recessed)
economic flat-line absence of positive nutritional flow trend,
omni-polypathic nonpresent exformed.

Just as Nature abhors these primal vacuums of appositionality,
there is no such thing as either of these two extremities,
just as there is no such thing as YangSpace
without Yin’s bilaterally evolving notpast-notfuture NOW time.

And, their divinely humane ecopolitical stage
balances MidWay Wu Wei
issuing advent of M.L. King’s (et. al.)
Beloved Climaxing Cooperative Community,
Family,
EarthTribe,
and any other polypathic ecological system
we might care to nondually and multiculturally co-arise together.

Our new democratic-plutocratic healthy wealth
of Zero-Soul-Sum-Core-Axial-Integral ecopolitical revolutions.

Full-Flight Cultural Revolutions

Thomas Kuhn wrote about scientific revolutions
as if scientific theories evolved
at sedately Business As Usual (BAU) pace
until some revolutionary conjecture,
heuristic truth-statement,
suddenly changed scientific metaphysical landscapes,
shaking up orthodox constellations
within and between paradigmatic multicultural relationships,
shifting AnthroWisdom’s exegetically proven platform
for understanding and identifying reality
within and without
from more eisegetical not-realities,
yet perhaps still of lesser metaphysical significance.

The political abatement,
therapy if you prefer, of exegetically side-by-side competing against,
stressed and straining paradigms
is not fueled by removing cooperative economic-ecological-nutritional investment
in BAU’s further continuous evolution.

Orthodox PolyPathic Tradition
polymorphically proves
the more political and economic Tradition stays the same,
the more we need to pick up or slow down our pace
for healthy regenerativity
to continue spinning Earth’s breathe free atmosphere.

Scientific political revolutions
with some serious,
and perhaps even some not-so-serious,
clout for viral empathic affection without affectation,
effective incarnate infection,
might become more optimally potentiated
with more bicameral mindbodyful focus,
hunting and gathering cooperative regenerate health co-investments
shared throughout nondual multicultural Positive Nutritional Deviance
within BAU,
breathe more in and out Fundamental-Basic JudeoChristian, TaoBuddhist, HinduJain, UU, etc…
ConScientific Attendance,
co-empathic global trust
in principles and nutritional truths
of DNA/RNA’s ecological-fractal-seasonal
dialectically languaged AnthroCentric Design
and Health Development (0)Riginal through (0)Mega Intent
of nutritional v toxic,
political power/terror and economic cooperative flow/co-competing stagnation,
Yang and notnotYin
PolyPathic CoArising NonDual Language
about the power-politics of ecoconscious enculturing thought
and the nutritional/pathological flow
of empathic trust/distrust feelings.

BAU scientific evolutions
predicting conscientifically great re-membering transition
into postmillennial ecocultural revolution.

Not quite so much AnthroCentric historical bias
within our co-creation story.

Golden Rule/Ratio/Elixir Upgrades

Not just do to; do with:
Do with others as political and economic you expect and hope with others.

Not just do with; do with each Eternal Moment,
as has always been done with you
and your Elders still flowing within you,
as always will become done with
throughout this eternally regenerative DNA/RNA-solidarity moment.

Sustainably do with others,
as political-economic eco-logical you
expect and hope with others.

Not just others; but all others,
living and dead,
and future generations,
regenerations
of not only our species
but all species living on and in Earth’s Promised Permaculturing Garden.

Sustainably do with all co-arising others,
as poli-economic encultured you
expect and hope with all Earth’s Tribes.

Not just expect treatments, relationships, transactions;
but expect co-empathically inclusive trust evolving healthy truths with grateful beauty,
optimizing cooperative and peaceful relationships
of mutually appreciative intent
and practice,
expect gratitude to articulate our holistic co-ecology of multicultural grace.

Trustingly do with all co-arising others,
as poli-economic holistic ecology encultured you
trust as positive healthy integrity,
active cooperating peace on and in and for and with
advocates and occupiers also from Earth’s ReGenesis Original Intent.

Revolutions of CoOperative Zerocracy

Truth is a fertile feather
pushed off to the empathic science side.

Truths are my body of feathers
within which our creative transgenerational mind heuristically resides.

“At the beginning of the twenty-first century,
for the luckiest
[high-risk and opportunity for co-empathic eco-consciousness]
people who have ever been born,
it seems that our passionate pursuit of individuation
has reached its [EgoLeft Yangdominant] apex.”

“We have discovered that we are [also] part of a vast,
complex,
multidimensional
[polynomial, polycultural, polypathic, polymorphic, polysymbiotic yin of bilateral nature/spirit integral-implicate therapeutic value balancing]
fourteen-billion-year process
that is evolving right now,
as ourselves
[AND Other AND Earth
as WinWinWin eco-cooperative poli-economic
love-therapeutic systemic resolution].”

“And our ability to recognize this vast [healthy/pathological] trajectory
that lies behind us
and that still lives within us
allows us to appreciate
the tremendous significance of the [great transitional] moment
we are [evolving] in.”

The awakening of this evolutionary
[dipolar co-arising (0)-sum ecosystemic bicameral] comprehension
shatters the postmodern predicament
[at least concerning creative intelligence
as more sacred-divinely trusting omnipotent grace
or more humanely natural-empathic copresence within Earth’s ReGenerative Tribes,
and the great transitional regeneration says Both-And Yes!]
.
And it is up to those of us who recognize this liberating [dual-destiny] context–
the luckiest [bicameral balancing] people in the world–
to make ourselves available
to the [coarising] energy and [co]intelligence that has,
over tens of thousands of years,
patiently cultivated our human capacity
for higher [and deeper empathic listening] consciousness
and [Tao of EcoRevolutionary-ReGenerate PoliEconomic Zerocracy] cognition,
so that it [regenerative healthy love as political/economic intent]
can take the next [cooperative networking WinWin] step,
through us and as us [sacred/humane integrative communion].”

Andrew Cohen, “Evolutionary Enlightenment”, pp. 83-84, 2011, SelectBooks

Revolutions in Plutocracy

Those who get,
get more.
Those who want,
want more.

Evolution is not survival of the fittest species,
but thrival of the greatest fit with least endosymbiotic change required
within,
whether we speak of polycultural enrichment
or meta-paradigmatic revolutions in understanding multicultural enrichment.

Evolution is BusinessAsUsual (BAU) cooperative-dominant nutritional networking
between what were more autonomous,
monocultural,
mutual-immune suboptimally co-functioning coincidental subsystems.

Revolution is the emergence of a new (0)-sum co-empathic prime relationship
on the dual edges of diastatically pervasive abundance
throughout the implicated (coded, genetic, pre-embryonic) polypaths of Earth,
enculturing ever deeper, denser, more healthy, fertile, lush, lavish, gorgeous bilateral (0)-interest
temporally balanced
full-octave
thermodynamic resonance.

Great Transitional Revolutions
within normal BAU evolution,
favor, confluate, radiate, elate, co-arise
survival of the fittest species and individuals,
but not the fittest warriors, necessarily.

Past anthrocentric revolutions
like Taoism,
Hinduism,
Buddhism,
Judaism,
Christianity,
Islam,
nature-mystics one and all, at least embryonically,
science,
research,
theology,
teleology,
philosophy,
psychology,
metaphysics,
group theory,
game theory,
regenerative systems theory,
evolutionary theorems of great transitional revolutions,
recyclers,
repurposers,
reincarnators,
restorers,
nurturers,
farmers,
hunters and gatherers
reproduce nature-mystic analogical polypaths one and all.

These past revolutionary theorems and practices,
intents with organically benign purposes,
come to us from past anthrocentric revolutions
that have more often favored the fittest lovers,
most resonantly healthy cooperators,
peace and merciful justice family and extended family makers,
polypathic multicultural-loving thrivers.

PolyPathic Revolutions
seem to draw toward basic empathic-trust ecoconsciousness
of political relationships and economic transactions
as living on an edgy evolving spectrum
from ecologically healthy
to Earth-Other-Self pathological,
including internal Left with Right hemispheric reiterative bicameral discernment conversations.

YinRight has no language
but flows through co-empathic trust
or floods with anger and fear and hateful mutual immunity,
absence of pleasure through relationship.
Right flows positive as co-empathic trusting love of healthy ways
while Left functions optimally
with Left/Right BiCameral (0)-Soul Balance,
deductive with inductive
both-and notnot mutually immune coempathic,
need not devolve to reductive suboptimization,
and further trends of cognitively irrational dissonance.

Left-Deductive PowerWith-Yang: ConVex Exterior Landscape
Right-Inductive CoEmpathic (0)-Binomial YinYin: ConCave Interior Bilaterally Revolving-Resolving Landscape.

Why does this Plutocratic Revolution of Healthiest Riches
matter to anthro-polypaths of Left-Right Balance?

A theoretical application,
rooted in knowing that at least one billionaire
(Ted Turner)
has donated at least a billion dollars
to UN critical global services,
such as eliminating land mines,
feeding children,
preventing disease
(what about planting trees and feeding Earth’s topsoil?).

These have actually improved the quality of life on anthrocentric Earth.

What if all of us with retirement accounts,
what if all insurance and wealth-tax investments
were paid-forward as (0) interest loans,
one to five year deferred,
with flexible terms for repayment,
to convert these same critical global services,
now owned by political-economic elite service providers
to therapeutic cooperative ownership,
owned by their non-elite consumers and direct service providers,
who learn to pass along therapies and skill-sets received
to others in need of the same?

What if Donald Trump
suddenly remembered it is in our children’s children’s long-term healthy interest,
to convert all he owns to co-ownership of those who want to work
with cooperative ownership and self-governance.
Sharing wealth brings richer health.
Hoarding wealth only produces envious employees,
when we could secure cooperative healthy relationships of mutual integrity.
What kind of degenerate mentorship would this look like
as a public-sector leader of sustainable health and prosperous safety policies?

PolyPathic Plutocrats
might measure their wealth-networking skills
with the comparative happiness they feel
in their stomachs,
bicameral hearts and lungs and synergetic mindbody functions.
Eventually even billionaires figure out
that all the good food and booze in the world,
no matter how long and well we live,
goes in the same piehole,
all the sounds and sights come through remarkably similar minds as nondual bodies,
and all the poop and pee and vomit continue to emerge from exactly the same places as when we were penniless children.

Once you have enough,
more can only therapeutically come your way to reinvest in others,
to help you extend your consciousness of family responsibilities
with health and caring authority.

Those who want and get more for every mind and body,
get and want no more than sufficient for ego’s healthy body
loving mind.

Please UnCorrect Me

Please correct me if I do not accurately speak for you,
I would not misrepresent your fellow readers
and writers and breathers
and heart-beaters,
but I believe outcomes,
goals we most want
our local and national and international political networks
to actually achieve,
further develop,
move toward a more optimally nutritional economy,
a multicultural co-arising creation story,
both beginning and ending with each day through dreaming night,
and yet continuing throughout each multigenerational lifetime of light,
success stories of health abundance,
more heaven-building,
less hell-raising competition and strife and suffering.

Does it follow that an optimally performing economy
would most likely become the highest and best use product
of a more cooperative political system?
where Both-And dialectic gratitude
isn’t merely lip service prayers of blessing
the hands and minds preparing this feast,
a brief counter-cultural respite
before returning to politics
brought to us by Business As Usual
not-really-news entertainment networks
thriving on Either-Or evolutionary plot-lines
Win for White Hats
is Lose for myopic
hypocritical
egocentric
tyrannical
suspiciously-fascist
yet nakedly conniving political Bureaucrats
and other Black Hat powerful anger-and-fear-fundamental Terrorists.

If we want a cooperatively abundant family
and community
and WinWin national as international economy,
we best change our political story line
from bicameral dissipation
toward bilateral midway discernment
of healthy nutritional
BothTrue-AndHealthEnCulturing supplements,
like Vitamin D feeding rituals of congressional chaplains
begging for rain of grace enculturation,
organically multicultural cooperative economies,
politically developing healthy green plants,
and forests,
therapeutic systems,
nutritional networks,
economic minds
achieving most with least loss
as most politically cooperative gain
for already marginalized, non-elite bodies
electing to serve future empathic-trust generations
of all life systems
as we would best serve
our own ego’s more limited,
and limiting,
services.

Which might therefore need to please be corrected
as I do not accurately speak with you,
my fellow readers and writers and breathers
and bicameral balancing heart beaters.

Deep Listening Ecology

Deep Listening is integral and creative;
learning to listen in an organically dialectical context.
It works most effectively when you,
and your team,
and family,
and species,
trusts their environment,
so everybody can venture outside ego’s inside range of comfort and mastery.

It grows increasingly urgent,
politically and economically,
to step outside this LeftBrain Mastery Zone
to integrate new information into one’s mind,
as body of nondual co-arising belief/feeling gestalt.

Learning is an economic hydraulic political-choice system,
a recycled sharing of quantifiable information values,
when we think of learning as short-term memorization,
with only short-term RealTime healthy utility.
But, sustainable nutritional-economic delivery systems,
including the processes of listening to learn
are eco-squared (fractal-ecological-dialectical) systems;
they are organic integrated networking ecologies
of true love TherapeuticPower as co-empathic positive-healthy balancing Exchanges-Economies-Trusts.

Sustained qualitative-emotive-co-empathic-co-arising learning,
life-long experiential listening,
recognizes each grateful learner
as part of everybody’s natural co-mentoring environment
of active cooperation,
defined as both political mutual subsidiarity of YangPower
and economic co-arising WinWin as Yin-eco-squared TaoBalance
of healthy self-governance,
ReGenesis PermanentlyHistorical EcoListening Revolutions
of Evolution’s ReGenerative SpaceTime Creation Story.

Education premised upon politically healthy choice
mutuality of trust

of cooperative information WinWin ecosystemics.
