Trialectics is not a viable logic system
I have recently become aware of Trialectics from people on this web site and was invited to offer my opinion of its merit.
It pains me to say this because I also wanted to believe in it, but I am unable to determine any value in Trialectics for use as a logic. The axioms do not describe a viable logic system.
If anyone has questions in this regard, please let me know how I should clarify this perspective.

Preliminary clarification
Posted March 4th, 2011 by Carey Butler in response to [Comment Deleted]| FORMAL LOGIC AXIOMS |
| 1. AXIOM OF IDENTITY A = A - the thing is equal to itself |
| 2. AXIOM OF DISTINCTION |
| A ¹ B - the thing can be distinguished from things other than itself |
| 3. AXIOM OF THE EXCLUDED |
| MIDDLE - A ¹ A + B - nothing is equal to both of two different things |
| DIALECTICS AXIOMS |
| 1. THE AXIOM OF QUANTITY AND QUALITY - quantitative increase produces qualitative change |
| 2. AXIOM OF INTERACTION OF OPPOSITES - change results from the inevitable conflict between opposing forces |
| 3. AXIOM OF THE NEGATION OF THE NEGATION - any thesis together with its antithesis (or opposite) produces something different from the two - a synthesis |
| |
| TRIALECTICS AXIOMS |
| 1. THERE IS A MUTATION FROM ONE MATERIAL MANIFESTATION POINT TO ANOTHER MATERIAL MANIFESTATION POINT (MMP) a) The mutation is completed when inner equilibrium has been achieved. b) MMP are neutral points of energy retention. c) The energy moves in a universe with pre-established laws, pre-established MMP or within pre-established models. |
| 2. INSIDE OF EVERYTHING THERE IS THE SEED OF ITS APPARENT OPPOSITE. THE EXUILIBRUIM BETWEEN THE TWO OPPOSITIONS DEPENDS ON THE BALANCED CIRCULATION ENERGY. a) From the point of view of nature, opposites do not exist. b) From the cosmic point of view, there are no random accidents, but process of circulation. c) In nature there are no accidents. |
| 3. THE PERPETUAL MOTION OF ALLCREATION IS DUE TO THE INTERCHANGE OF ENERGY BETWEEN MMP'S AND THERE IS, THEREFORE, AN INHERENT ATTRACTION TO EITHER A HIGHER OR LOWER MMP. a) Higher MMP's are conformed by a smaller number of factors and elements. b) Higher MMP's are responsive to the attraction of higher or lower correlating vibrations in a pre-established pattern. c) One MMP's attraction to another can be ascending or descending. |
Are these the axioms of your system?

Balls of courage
Posted March 22nd, 2011 by Bill Kilburg in response to Preliminary clarificationI enjoy reading all these post. And I also enjoy these younger people doing their own inquiry and the willingness to question , and even take on Ken and his work. And I believe they get a thumbs up from Ken also. Ken has always encouraged people to do their own work and even has downplayed his own books" lest you want a brain tumor". lol
Its one of the many reasons I enjoy Ken and his work. His sence of humor and his honesty, I just wish I had his height, cause I think I could have made the NBA. lol
My own take on all this data is that the data becomes Source and the real YOU as Source becomes secondary to the data.
Am I data determined or am I Self determined, better said, am I Self created ?
It is the danger of all belief systems and leaves the beliefs system being accountable for owns life and decisions rather than who you really are as Self{ as an ontological given } as Source choosing moment to moment creativity something into existence from nothing.
But thats been my path and I honor your path and the balls of courage to carve and create your destiny in the way you see for yourself.
And we maybe saying the same thing and getting us back to Self,{Nothing} its just the semantics that gets in the way.

Kudos, guys...
Posted March 5th, 2011 by Lincoln MerchantReally sharp stuff here Carey, Brian, and Schalk. I don't have anything to add but encouragement and pleas for real world examples to make it easier to understand. I've got to think about this kind of thing over and over with notes and diagrams before I can understand it at all.
Cheers!

Transend and Include...
Posted March 5th, 2011 by Mary Linda Landauer in response to What is your basis?Hello again Carey and everyone. Good questions and, hopefully, my answers will give greater meaning and light.
I want to begin with my own direct experience. I realize this experience is purely subjective; however, many who know me will quickly respond that my life is lived in direct relation to my truth which drives all my behaviors....my truth is dirived from spiritual principles that govern my behaviors and actions. Also, there is now much research on others having same/similiar expereinces.
These spiritual principles of truth, altruistic actions, I believe, come out of this transcended ontology term called trialectics. A kind of systematic understanding of being....that non-dual prana/shanti energy that governs the dualistic, space/ time logics, and at the same time has transcended the conventional dialectics. Yet, is fully aware and fully awake within the dualistic time/space reality; just not attached to it. At this level of trancendence a new kind of logic emerges.....well I'm getting a head of myself here so lets go into my experience.
Having had some powerful experiences, early in my life, these experiences lead me to a more deeply, inner spiritual world. Meditation quickly accelerated these experiences, culminating in a full blown, crystalized awakening. This lead me to reading everything in the literature that I could find; anything to give me some indication that I wasn't becoming psychotic....well, I guess in truth, somewhat I was.....especially in the beginning.....I found Ken's work which lead me to many of the great eastern teachers,( it was so clear to me after reading SES something had happened to him; his writing took a turn from his earlier work, and it appeared he wrote more from this direct experience than ever before.) Sri Ramana Maharshi, Maharaj-ji, Shantideva, Sadhguru, Paramahansa Yogananda, Krishnamurti, Jesus and the mystery of the trinity, Shantivanam, and everything on Kundalini, this energy of awakening, encompassed my reading, and what is the true basis, I believe, of Trialectics......I wasn't as interested in philosophy or psychology; ( although this is my academic background) I was interested in the higher energies; prana/shanti and how this powerful energy could possibly change the human direction, and give influence to a more awakened evolution.
I was around 44 when certain experiences began to happen that gave rise to knowing a different reality was being shown to me. First came lucid dreaming almost nightly.....(as a child this happened but infrequently. Also as a child I experienced a near death.) Next came my first earth quake tremors, riveting through my body, starting low in my spine and moving upward. This would almost always be followed by an out of body experience.....but not everytime.....if not an out of body experience than an unusal lucid dream. ( I would like to say here, for me, NDE and OOB experiences are the same, in that I floated above my body, watching it while moving through time/space effortless, without being affected by the density. I went right through windows while watching the molecules of the physical form dancing like bubbles)
For days after these experiences my psyche was left shattered; disorientation to my surroundings as I just couldn't get well grounded in my body. Another happening, which I think is powerful in its implications, is that I would go through a regression where old energies would emerge, and this is where the psychotic thoughts and feelings, resulting from these old energies meeting this new, more powerful energy, was some of the hardest experiences. Shadows everywhere floating within this light and blissful energy.....I did therapy around this but not many people understood this and so many wanted to give me DRUGS....can you imagine what this would have done to me.......now another powerful piece to all of this is the protection I felt around all this.....at night I would go into these trance like states where a voice ( this first happened to me as a child around 7 in a children's orphanage so this voice I trusted deeply and completely). somewhat like a more telepathic knowing; like a heightened connection to some powerful Presence can into my mind This was not like nomal everyday thoughts but a powerful intelligence, giving me deeper understanding that what I was experiencing was the awakening of "who I am" a beautiful soul...( and this soul Presence, 'who I am" is with me now daily, and, I believe, is this third trialectic non-dual energy) Ok sorry getting ahead again....
These experiences continued to happen to me; these riviting movements, and each time they occured with a longer frequency, and each time more shadows to integrate, and each time a higher vibration of this prana like energy would remain, taking me into higher structures.....I am now 67 years old, and after all these years here is my reality.
I live within this higher structure.....you can call it whatever....2nd tier or higher.....and this structure is like being in a witness/non dual state all the time. I participate in the dialectic, dualistic world of space/time but I operate out of non-dual space where spiritual principles are the governing board, using a non-dual logic. My consciousness is always present in the awareness of the moment; watching my thoughts, watching my behaviors as though my body/mind is just the container. Thoughts still come and go (most still so dualistic; but its like watching another person, knowing 'who I am as soul' is in control and in charge of this personality/ego, and will make the final decision by seeing the logic of both sides, and then bringing right action to the highest choice)This 'being space' I see as this trialectcs, and one humanitiy is evolving towards......hopefully
So why did it happen to me?....don't know, but I do know after doing much research and reading, this is not some isolated experience happening to me.....thousands of people are coming forth to share their experiences, and although these experiences are unique to each person having them, they are the same in that something awakens deep within the core....a powerful force of Presence that is so joyful, blissful that I can only it describe as LOVE. Not a love that comes from the small self ego survival that operates out of space/time duality and a conventional dialectics ,but fom the very source that created all the great Kosmos; and this powerful shanti energy has a logic all its own. A logic that incooperates all dual energies but is able to bring them into balance and harmony. A mutation that transforms the dual human into its divine balance of both, and where it no longer sees its separateness, only its Oneness because this is what this trialectic systematic be-ing truly is. We are able to witness/observe all physical reality as form ,and all mental reality as another form, yet both these forms are created out of this one force of non-form shanti. This Oneness has mutated into the many; having unique and amazing experiences while seeing itself for what it is.....a LOVING sperm implanted within us all......And this Loving sperm is creation.....creation of new realities everytime we move into new structures. This is as good as it gets:)
So "it is".... means at our higher levels of being, one mutates into a higher human where logic is knowing that I can get wet in the rain, while at the same time knowing, I'm getting wet in my own beingness. "It isn't" means at the lower levels of development one cannot comprehend this non-dual kind of logic. Just isn't in one's frame of reference yet. Hope this brings greater understanding.
Blessings,
Mary Linda

Much clearer...
Posted March 5th, 2011 by Carey Butler in response to Transend and Include...Your experiences and how you have navigated them are fascinating. I will enjoy exchanging views with you on many things you have described here. Your insights have also peaked my curiosity.
Look, I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings with this thread. And I really do believe, after reading what you and others here (Brent, Brian, and Leonard) have written, that Trialectics have been of help to you. I wanted to believe it myself. As Brent offered them to me by means of a link I was overjoyed by the possibility that Hegel's work (which I do not agree with and ... that's another subject) could have been transcended or corrected, but to my dismay I was reading almost total nonsense. Sure, the first two groups of axioms are known to philosophers and logicians, but the third set - the trialectic enhancements - are clearly false.
I told Brent about this, but he only thanked me and offered to have someone contact me sometime in the future. Then I began to discover that others have written on this subject. I felt the urge to tell people about this, before it gets out of hand.
What I am trying to say is, that the axioms cannot have brought about that which you are describing. I really wish someone had contacted a postgraduate logician and asked her/him for her/his opinion on the the matter, because she/he would have told you that these axioms are not viable. It is like building a house on a pile of sand.
As I read them I feel like I am reading the work of a child. They are obviously false and are not even mathematical.
I DO BELIEVE that Trialectics have helped you and others towards clarity and growth. Only I have the feeling that the beliefs by you and those well-meaning others that Trialectics was something special has carried you and them to this place and not the axioms that are supposedly its foundation. Your success and that of the others have shown me how wonderful you and they are.
Please accept my opinion in the spirit in which it is given. I truly am sorry, but I must tell you the truth.
I beg someone reading this to just verify if what I am saying is the truth. I can understand the lack of belief in my opinion expressed by Brian and Leonard. They don't know me and what I am saying is not exactly what everyone wants to hear.
And I believe in one thing about Trialectics: it has brought the best out of a whole bunch of people. In that sense; Trialectics is a wonder in itself.

Hi Carey
Posted March 5th, 2011 by Brian OConnell in response to Much clearer...I value your doubt very much. And this trialectics stuff comes from my posts and Brent's sharing his ideas. This system is so much fuller than can be shared on a forum. And its Oscar's system, not mine. We share ideas and perspectives to come to an understanding. I would not expect any of the sharings on trialectics to satisfy you.
Much of the issues for Integral awareness has to do with embodiment and practices. And doubt is the mode that sustains dialectical thought. I doubt, so that I think, I think so then I AM. Identity. The child, the emphethetical does not get to speak. The emphethetical is the weakest of our intelligences, by far. Thus practice.
We all long for security. Something beyond doubt. But time and change leave nothing as permanent. Analysis works with components which does not last in time. Find that which has no components. VOID. Proving to oneself the truth of void in all quadrants is what embodiment and practice is about. Including and transcending doubt into void leads to states that make trialectics, integral awareness a new point of view not dependent on the precedents of doubt. For doubt exists because we do not know our source and origin. Thus we make up for this lack with our identity process which leads directly into dialectics and the dominance of the head. Embodiment is impossible without the clarification of our egos such that the empethetical self awareness does not get shrowded over by the phobias of the heart and head. To realize the void is the end of doubt. But how to share this? With another dialectically based thought system? Something that grows out of the conflict of self and time. Something that can see the process that reaches to the unity and cycles back to the many. Tradition have done a amazing job in reaching the top of the mountain. The empethetical intuition that leads to clarity of spirit, soul, mind, emotions, and body. But the real issue is how to bring the intuition from the top into the vehicles of time in such a way that does not reduce it to them. Dialectics thought reduces intuition to the shadow of opposites, the shadow of separation. Thus our identity crisis. The child will grow into the crisis of adolescence ( loss of a sense of permanent I) into the challenge of understanding change ( dialectics) which leads to the crisis of maturity( Who am I if everything is changing including my psyche) What is my source that is both in time and eternal. Thus the realization of void as both that which everything in time flows from and returns back into. A state that makes evolution in all quadrants understood to be reaching for the ultimate attractor. That the process is not random or continuous but has jumps and leaps in state and understanding that has no precedents for it. Trialectics. If you use dialectics with no practice, then there is no injunction to verify it in your own awareness. I can not prove it to you. Your state determines it. A significant problem, a significant joy to share in.
Some observation of where we humans are at. We have heart doctors that can not regulate or change the state of their heart. We have psychologists that can not change their state of consciousness. We have philosophers who can not be aware of their center of gravity. We have athletes who are as intuitive as a shrimp.
The emphethetical is synonymous with our physical body and intuition. To awaken the gross,subtle and causal bodies to void would lead to transparency and bliss of being that is permanent.
So maybe we should be studying gravity, electricity, and time. Safe and not so taboo. Something direct and tangible.

Other issues than the axioms
Posted March 8th, 2011 by Carey Butler in response to Hi CareyIt is important for me to respond to the issues you bring up here.
"And doubt is the mode that sustains dialectical thought. I doubt, so that I think, I think so then I AM. Identity."
This statement is hard for me to accept because, and this is just one of the weaknesses of Hegel's ideas, doubt is not the mode that sustains dialectical thought. The truth is that there is a wide spectrum of harmonies that fuel unfolding. Furthermore; I question the belief that dialectic can serve as a sole means for that unfolding. There is much more going on than conflict resolution.
"I doubt, so that I think, I think so then I AM. Identity."
For me it appears that thinking is not a source of identity. We must be and remember (among other things) and thereby affirm our identity. They define us; not our thoughts. Thoughts are messages that we choose to assign values to - or not (meaning). As we assign values to them they are given 'life' and begin to manifest themselves in some way.
"The child, the emphethetical does not get to speak."
Perhaps I am missing your point here so please correct me if I am wrong. Yet I see even babies speaking - not to mention children - with their being and remembering (among other things). It is we "adults" who have the communication problem because most of us have not trained ourselves to understand their language.
"The emphethetical is the weakest of our intelligences, by far. Thus practice."
I feel that the emphethetical is one of the most subtle of our intelligences. It allows us, if we able and/or are willing to reflect on them, to choose the manner/direction of our unfolding consciously (otherwise unconsciously).
It is unfitting to see it as a weakness for me.
"We all long for security. Something beyond doubt."
Yes, we have fallen into this habit of needing security and therefore it has become our shared reality. I believe that this habit has been conditioned into us (but that is a different thread).
Imagine how it would be if we were to feel at home here where we are; assured that our needs will be taken care of as they arose - as has always been the case. This would not be stagnation because we would develop a different relationship to doubt.
We would see ourselves as being a vital part of the U with as much value as anything else contained within it. Doubt would then be a form of communication that we welcomed as a doorway to something new and before unimagined. We would then be able to harvest those frequency areas instead of it giving us cause for fear and the resulting stagnation.
"But time and change leave nothing as permanent."
Use of the concept of "permanent" is admission of its existence. Time is change of space as is space a change of time: they embrace each other. From some perspectives they may even vanish into the void or into infinity.
"Analysis works with components which does not last in time."
Do we not avail ourselves ever anew of the means of analysis? Its by-products are the stepping stones to new horizons. They will always, once navigated, be a part of any journey. They remain in dialog with that journey to its conclusion.
"Find that which has no components. VOID."
The void has a component. It is defined through its lack of its component: infinity.
"Proving to oneself the truth of void in all quadrants is what embodiment and practice is about."
What about proving the fullness of all quadrants as well? Shouldn't that be desired? It goes even farther than that. What about assigning each quadrant its own vortex? They are there waiting for us, should we 'open our eyes' to them. We know that they are there because the U is holographic in its nature.
"Including and transcending doubt into void leads to states that make trialectics,"
This is the "Hegelian ghost" that 'haunts' Trialectics (as well as our society!). It was a mistake to allow the Hegelian Dialectics as a precursor for any kind of serious philosophical endeavor. The Hegelian axioms are flawed. The Hegelian Dialectic are false.
It is clear that doubt cannot be the only substrate upon which states are achieved. That is why there are so many of them. They are not all reducible to doubt. As a mechanism for the being of anything new they would be narrowing the domain of possibilities of enfolding (embracing) as well as unfolding (transcending) whether we 'live' at that place (stage) or only 'visit' that place (state).
"integral awareness a new point of view not dependent on the precedents of doubt."
Yes that is true, because doubt is one of an infinity of states (or stages) expressing itself in the model.
"For doubt exists because we do not know our source and origin."
Does doubt not exist as an indication of a need for new perspectives? We could have a sense of source and origin and still have doubt. Also our source and origin is so dependent upon the perspective we have chosen, that they can almost be considered secondary notions.
"Thus we make up for this lack with our identity process which leads directly into dialectics and the dominance of the head."
I am not convinced that lack of identity (or the process of which it is a part) can lead to unavoidably to the dialectics that Hegel posited. They are clearly inadequate and have only led to increased suffering in our societies throughout recent history. I do agree with you about the dominance of a rational thinking mind being the consequence of misguided identity or a lack thereof.
"Embodiment is impossible without the clarification of our egos such that the empethetical self awareness does not get shrowded over by the phobias of the heart and head."
I have seen this perspective in Gurdjieff's work. To some extent it is true, but the phobias of the heart and head can, as Carl Jung has made clear, be seen as part of the journey towards individuation. Clarification is not enough to achieve this stage of development for many reasons. One of them is that not every cause for a phobia can be determined. I can provide examples of this, should I be called upon to do so.
"To realize the void is the end of doubt."
Yes that is true because doubt is replaced by meaninglessness. This state is 'equidistant" to doubt's counterpart: belief. It is the place where both can be said to be the farthest away from each other (infinity being their closest point to each other).
"But how to share this? With another dialectically based thought system?"
Not all systems are dialectical. In fact, most of them are not!
"Something that grows out of the conflict of self and time."
There are other foundations for unfolding (as stated above). Self, by the way, has its counterpart too: other. Time's counterpart is space.
"Something that can see the process that reaches to the unity and cycles back to the many."
Yes, a new perspective is up to this task.
"Tradition[s] have done a[n] amazing job in reaching the top of the mountain."
Yes that 'wisdom' is very important in reaching new vistas, but it is only a part of what is needed and can also be a hindrance when it becomes dogma.
"The empethetical intuition that leads to clarity of spirit, soul, mind, emotions, and body."
This intuition finds and creates within itself the means to that clarity. Knowing is moving towards being.
"But the real issue is how to bring the intuition from the top into the vehicles of time in such a way that does not reduce it to them. Dialectics thought reduces intuition to the shadow of opposites, the shadow of separation. Thus our identity crisis."
Yes a crisis must ensue because dialectic is being used as the framework for the new perspective! Identity must not arise exclusively out of dialectic. Identity can also arise out of love, for one example. A particular higher state can last through time if achieved by stages of development.
"The child will grow into the crisis of adolescence ( loss of a sense of permanent I) into the challenge of understanding change ( dialectics) which leads to the crisis of maturity( Who am I if everything is changing including my psyche) What is my source that is both in time and eternal.
The dialectics are not the engine of change in our understanding. They are only one flavor of a whole spectrum of means. Other cultures treat this phase of life with elegance and harmony. The culture, in which the adolescent finds itself, is vital to how it navigates this stage of development.
"Thus the realization of void as both that which everything in time flows from and returns back into."
The void is simply a phase-transition for any holon. It is the place where something is neither this nor that. The counterpart to the void is infinity (of which there are many kinds) where it is everything in a multitude of ways.
A state that makes evolution in all quadrants understood to be reaching for the ultimate attractor.
Where could this ultimate attractor be? Could it not be that the ultimate attractor is the process itself?
That the process is not random or continuous but has jumps and leaps in state and understanding that has no precedents for it.
Yes novelty is definitely a part of the process. Understanding is not a requirement for change of state (as you well know).
Trialectics. If you use dialectics with no practice, then there is no injunction to verify it in your own awareness.
Yes, 'knowing' is nothing but potential for use. Being is the value of knowing. If we are not being, then our knowing is of no value. The dialectics are restricted to conflict. There are other means to avail ourselves of (as stated previously) in our movement through the stages.
I can not prove it to you.
Many things of value cannot be proven. This aspect of the U violates all of the Hegelian axioms (modern mathematics was not available to Hegel) and at least one of the trialectic axioms (1c in particular).
Your state determines it. A significant problem, a significant joy to share in.
Yes our state is determined by our perspective. But it is not necessarily generated out of a problem as I see it. And this perspective can be chosen consciously or 'assigned' unconsciously as wells by means of another agent acting upon that range of awareness.
Some observation of where we humans are at. We have heart doctors that can not regulate or change the state of their heart. We have psychologists that can not change their state of consciousness. We have philosophers who can not be aware of their center of gravity. We have athletes who are as intuitive as a shrimp.
Yes because their lines of development are so expressed (but you are aware of this).
The emphethetical is synonymous with our physical body and intuition. To awaken the gross,subtle and causal bodies to void would lead to transparency and bliss of being that is permanent.
Void is not the only transition available to us. It is one of a multitude; each having their own mixture of characteristics and granularity.
So maybe we should be studying gravity, electricity, and time. Safe and not so taboo. Something direct and tangible.
We have been doing this for the last 300 to 400 years. The evidence around us is indicative that our deterministic, causal and materialistic bent is in need of an overhaul. That long-overdue overhaul is happening right now! Your work is a sign of that.

Posted March 5th, 2011 by Mary Linda Landauer in response to Much clearer...because your stance is clearly status quo....no change_________________________mine is one of constant change. And our line represents the game of tug of war......which, even in childhood, was never one of my favorite games....And, today this tug of war is being played out all over the world isn't it? Stakes are high.....status quo versus change. But I will agree with you that I am childlike in my innocence; life for me is a giant playground where experiences are my toys. I love life and feel such gratitude for this amazing experience, on this planet at this juncture, in our historical transformation now in process. Yet my soul wisdom is mature and adult with a great inner strength and power.
But what is delightful for me is our willingness to hold deep repect for each other's opinion in this game of debate. Soooo Carey how do I get your attention here to see that the trialectic axiom is a probability, one that is, perhaps, still not consistent or self-evident with the amount of information and experience at this time to support it, yet, holds the probability that higher consciousness can act as a great catalyst or conveyor belt for this transformation, and even lead to mutation of our species as possibility... And, one way to look at this is through certain patterns of behavior and attitude now showing up in thousands, that are consistent and self/evident and show this new species of Integral transformation. Lets begin with patterns:
A pattern is a set of ideas, behaviors, actions that show up in some consistent way, and appears to stabilize in its self-evident manner. If we begin to look at just the creative culture movment or integral movement this pattern is increasing from a mere 10% or less in the 80's to over 30% today for Culture creatives and Integral movment has increased from.05% to pushing 4-5% today.....please forgive me if these numbers are off somewhat.....but what it does show is a pattern....something is happening....some mutation from a first tier level of development and consciousness to a second tier and higher development and consciousness....And, this energy moves in a kosmos with pre-established laws......spiritual laws I call them.....And, within us all we know there is this seed of opposites....this dual, dialectic nature but we also know something bigger and greater is driving this nature; which is this trialectic nature. And there is also this seed or sperm of creation within us all.....in the lower levels these dualistic seeds of opposites come together to create and when we reach these upper levels this creative sperm unites with this higher trialectic energy to create or mutate. There are no accidents here only patterns and circulation, and from understanding nature, opposites do not exist....So there is this attraction to higher or lower patterns, not opposites.....but at the higher levels these patterns form greater attractor fields drawing into themselves those at lower levels to mutate and transform...thank goodness....
Ok now it is your turn to pull on the rope....you say. "I'm reading the work of a child"....well, smiling, I'm ok with this but you need to give me detail why not viable; why so blatantly false....and not just that it can't be proven now; so much in the history of our world couldn't be proven then finally someone came along who did.......example is the work of Einstein who later was proven wrong by John Bell and Bohr's axioms where Aspect got results in favor of Bohr......

This is not just simply an opinion that you laugh at...
Posted March 6th, 2011 by Carey Butler in response to Laughing.....How can you characterize my stance as "no change"? You don't even know my stance other than my questioning Trialectics!
Your characterization of this a tug of war is a surprise for me and not at all my intent. I am simply stating the truth as I know it.
This is not a question of status quo verses change. This is a question if the system fulfills the criterion of a logic system. Here Trialectics fails.
I never inferred that you were a child for believing in Trialectics and it makes me wonder how that aspect even comes up. I said that reading the axioms is like reading something a child would say. That has nothing to do with you and how you view yourself.
I don't make this claim out of my inability to understand things. It is a fact that the axioms cannot produce these wonderful things you folks are talking about in connection with it because it is not only incomplete, it is not even a viable system.
You can keep your playground intact as I have no intention of destroying it. I am simply indicating that when you "play" with Trialectics, you are playing in a sandbox.
You say you want to get my attention to see the trialectic axiom... There is no single trialectic axiom, rather a set of them. And there is no built in "probability" aspect to this set of axioms.
I agree that higher consciousness can act as a catalyst for transformation, but that is something you and those who believe in Trialectics bring to the table and is not a component of Trialectics itself.
I agree with some of your tenents about patterns of circulation, dualistic seeds, the fiction of accidents and the other things. Only the axioms of Trialectics is not a basis for these worthy ideas.
The situation is not a difference in doctrine, scope or perspective between us as you frame it. There is no correspondence to the views of Einstein as apposed to those of Bohr so its usage as an analogy for us here is not correct. I verify that the wonderful and worthy things you referred to are stemming from the good intentions of yours and the other fine people who share this interest in Trialectics.
You don't have to believe me, if you don't want to. I am content to drop this subject entirely as I sure didn't have the intention of stirring things up. I only wanted to be truthful and clarify the state of affairs.
I have served you all very well in telling you the facts. I believe that someday you will appreciate it. For those who have taken me seriously, then you know I have saved you much embarassment in the future. I personally know I have done a good thing.

My laughter is not at you.....
Posted March 6th, 2011 by Mary Linda Landauer in response to This is not just simply an opinion that you laugh at...it is trying to engage with you with some fun.....but it appears you are angry....sorry about that but we sometimes need to lighten up here with our silly disagreements....your truth is important, whether I agree or not.....which I don't on this issue but the issue is not important enough for me to go further....However, saying this, here is some truth I feel in this moment.....This is maybe way out of my perspective understanding, and I'm willing to agree maybe I'm also very wrong....but attack here is not necessary....There is partial truth in all perspectives but not the whole truth....maybe we need to just let this go and live our truth as best we can, and hold to understanding no one has all the answers....we are all trying to share with each other our partial understanding in order to gain more from each other. So I thank you for sharing and I shall part with no hard feelings......This word, trialectics, and whether it stands viable or not, is just not important enough for me to lose my own truth; which is to live my life in direct relationship with 'who I am", a beautiful soul one with greater Presence within me and all life, and to live it in joy and love....I wish you well Carey.
Blessings,

Anger
Posted March 6th, 2011 by Carey Butler in response to My laughter is not at you.....I am not angry and I didn't think you were laughing at me. That is an another incorrect characterization.
I wish you well too. I don't see you as a child either.
Be your truth.

Its Me
Posted March 3rd, 2011 by Brian OConnellHi Carey, I started posting about Trialectics in integralnaked forum, but they have deleted all the posts. I made some huge posts on it. With trialectics, as with integral theory, you can not get it if you do not practice the injunctions. It comes from Oscar Ichazo who is my spiritual teacher. Very hard school(www.arica.org) to get into since it is so small. Oscars work is like advanced Integral theory work. An analogy is like the difference between studying anatomy and being a brain surgeon. Integral Wilber is like a general operating system and Oscar is far more accurate, detailed and dynamic operating system. But being detailed, not many can enter it intellectually, even though many practice the injunctions in the school. Wilber's maps are static as Oscars are dynamic. Meaning as Wilber has mapped statically the great three/four, lines, levels, states, types. Oscar has mapped the interrelations between the great three, lines, levels, states and types. Ken is currently working on the interrelations, but do not think he will complete it. Oscar began integral mapping in 1958 and just finished in 2007 with practices and all. Ken is still mapping and the practices have a ways to go. You can not study the interrelations with dialectics for many of the reasons Ken has said himself, object subject duality in thought, trialectics is necessary to bring the void nondual into understanding time in such a way that it is not reduced to a dialectic.
Brent Simpson is worked with understanding tialectics, but I don't think he is doing it any justice. So I will try.
Formal Logic gives identity without time, dialectics understands change with time but in a continuum, as trialectics understands change in a discontinuous a priori quantum points of change. Formal logic is the logic of a child, dialectics is the logic of an adolescent and trialectics is the logic of a mature adult( not to be confused with our current adolescent adult). As the child refers to self as static and the adolescent is on a journey to understand the unknown, the mature adult is able to understand the process all the way to spirit. Trialectics is the logic in quantum physics but also in the school applied to biology, psychology, states, culture, society, noosphere, soul and spirit. Ken has developed integral theory up to noosphere, and mentions soul and spirit . Trialectics is the key to develop integral theory to soul and spirit. So as complex as understanding our lines, levels, states and types with Integral Ken is, it is impossible to go to soul and spirit as a community with an integral types that is based on dialectics. And this is the problem with current Integral Ken. He has the map but depends on the dialectics in each domain/line/level/state/ and types in the horizontal as a foundation. The vertical is the living truth of integral awareness which would not be dependent on any system but its expression (horizontal) does. Sharing ones realization is far more effective if the great three are interrelated dynamically. Integral Ken has deconstructed the DIVINE IDEAS because of its formal logic historically, as Oscar has resuscitated the divine ideas through trialectic, something dialectics can not see. A priori , eternally set points of change. Dialectics can observe and map points of change posteriori , trialectics sees the hierarchy holonic nature that makes the a priori point of change. Making transformation like a science instead of a game of chance and unknown.
Formal Logic: law of identity ( A=A) Law of contradiction (A not B) Law of excluded middle (A not A+B)
Dialectics: Changing identity (Quantity becomes quality) Law of opposites ( Contradicting opposites) Law of the negation of the negation( each process must negate itself if it is going to continue)
Trialectics: Law of mutation( Change from one material manifestation point to another) Law of circulation ( In everything there is the seed of its apparent contrary) Law of attraction( Everything expands or contracts, up or down)
Three reasons: empathetical (Core, I, Art) , Analogical ( Heart, We, Morals), Analytical ( Head, It, Science)
All three are going on at once and if are in imbalance then one of the reasons is in a ego process that cuts the connection between sex and spirit pole. Causing a narrow subjective fixed point of view. The emphathetical is the reason of the child and is concerned subconsciously with the question " Am I OK?", the analogical reason is the reason of an adolescent and ask the question " Who am I with, whats my environment?", and the analytical reason is the adult and ask the question " What am I doing?" If one of these reasons is charged and dominant it will produce a dipole causing the law of circulation from sex and spirit to be between the opposite moods in the dipole. Empathetical( Sadness and abuse) analogical ( Fustration and anger) analytical ( Fear and anxiety). Each core heart and head work discontinuously and interrelated by quantum changes from one to the other. Three egos that can act as active/attractor and function leading to a result. If they are cleared then the central channel is made between SEX and SPIRIT like in SES. The vertical alignment with the one and the many or void of eterninity with the void of the manifested. Not just the ascending void of buddhism .
That a very quick overview. Will respond and clarify with your questions.

Posted March 4th, 2011 by Brent Simpson in response to Its MeBrian, I agree I am not the idea person to deal with this data - and you have been the inspiration behind much of what I have tried to do over the last two years. I saw something that i thought had real potential and truth and did my best to present to others what I thought I saw. Please see the comment I left for you on your Youtube page... I hope it clarifies for you what I was trying to do... and why I was trying to do it.

????
Posted March 4th, 2011 by Sebastian Stark in response to Its MeI am shocked.
It seems i have been using trialectics all of the time, calling it integral dialectics or sth like that. So thanks a lot, this will give much to further the capacity to transport such thinking and living.
But: I actually always understood this to be the Idea behind k Wilbers Work and simply assumend he would see this as to be yet to complicated to bring to the crowd, at least until the man has not found any working simplification.
Looking back at Hegel: the phenomenology was written in a sort of divine rush of three days, as is known, but if you think "logic" and "system of science" together with the end of the phenomenology(the absolute), it seems pretty "tria"lectic to me.
Any thoughts? I always saw this as the integrative coming thogether of dialectical understandings, pretty much like its ...seeds having been in there : ), and more important: I assumed the great thinkers from Spinoza over hegel to Wilber all had at least a basic and ever intensifying intuition of this but where driving to an intuited goal on a highway in mysterious wastelands, sure but yet unable to explain in full detail what the wispering was saying. Do you think the were not? may be a dumb question, but I have to make asense of this all also historically
I am astounded and thrilled and will immidiately check that link
Thanks a lot

Preliminary clarification
Posted March 4th, 2011 by Carey Butler in response to Its MeFORMAL LOGIC AXIOMS |
| 1. AXIOM OF IDENTITY A = A - the thing is equal to itself |
| 2. AXIOM OF DISTINCTION |
| A ¹ B - the thing can be distinguished from things other than itself |
| 3. AXIOM OF THE EXCLUDED |
| MIDDLE - A ¹ A + B - nothing is equal to both of two different things |
| DIALECTICS AXIOMS |
| 1. THE AXIOM OF QUANTITY AND QUALITY - quantitative increase produces qualitative change |
| 2. AXIOM OF INTERACTION OF OPPOSITES - change results from the inevitable conflict between opposing forces |
| 3. AXIOM OF THE NEGATION OF THE NEGATION - any thesis together with its antithesis (or opposite) produces something different from the two - a synthesis |
| |
| TRIALECTICS AXIOMS |
| 1. THERE IS A MUTATION FROM ONE MATERIAL MANIFESTATION POINT TO ANOTHER MATERIAL MANIFESTATION POINT (MMP) a) The mutation is completed when inner equilibrium has been achieved. b) MMP are neutral points of energy retention. c) The energy moves in a universe with pre-established laws, pre-established MMP or within pre-established models. |
| 2. INSIDE OF EVERYTHING THERE IS THE SEED OF ITS APPARENT OPPOSITE. THE EXUILIBRUIM BETWEEN THE TWO OPPOSITIONS DEPENDS ON THE BALANCED CIRCULATION ENERGY. a) From the point of view of nature, opposites do not exist. b) From the cosmic point of view, there are no random accidents, but process of circulation. c) In nature there are no accidents. |
| 3. THE PERPETUAL MOTION OF ALLCREATION IS DUE TO THE INTERCHANGE OF ENERGY BETWEEN MMP'S AND THERE IS, THEREFORE, AN INHERENT ATTRACTION TO EITHER A HIGHER OR LOWER MMP. a) Higher MMP's are conformed by a smaller number of factors and elements. b) Higher MMP's are responsive to the attraction of higher or lower correlating vibrations in a pre-established pattern. c) One MMP's attraction to another can be ascending or descending. |
Are these the axioms of your system?

Yes
Posted March 5th, 2011 by Brian OConnell in response to Preliminary clarificationYes this is the logic. One thing to remember is this is a logic of identity. The same understanding that Integral Ken has in that we do not see real percepts but that we have perspectives. So identity is central to perspectives in a sense we can not get away from metaphysics, something Ken has tried to do but has been open to the debate. That humans think making a boundary or identity or divide between ourselves and nature. So the trialectical logic is a logic of identity that allows the psyche to understand movement and change as inherent to the psyche and is within pre-established a priori transition points. To study trialectics is to bring in vortex math. Here are some images that bring in the triple rooted nature of mind. More image to come.

Truly Fascinating....
Posted March 6th, 2011 by Justin Manchester in response to Yes
Brian - thanks for your response on this, I am very interested in further study....
"So identity is central to perspectives in a sense we can not get away from metaphysics, something Ken has tried to do but has been open to the debate"
I have been 'meditating' on this apparent contradiction for quite sometime.... After reading "Integral Spirituality" upon it's release in 2006 when Ken placed such strong emphasis on "post-metaphysics" but seemed to continue to employ 'meta-physical' language in his descriptions of what 'fuels' the evolutionary process itself. Also, I am truly happy to hear you say "identity is central to perspectives" - I don't think this was clearly articulated by Wilber.
"....and is within pre-established a priori transition points".... Isn't this another version of the 'myth of the given'?

Myth of the given
Posted March 6th, 2011 by Brian OConnell in response to Truly Fascinating....It is the myth of the given. I struggled with this studying and practicing Oscars work. On the surface of his expression it totally is " the myth of the given". Awesome point. It was my perspective for awhile. But then it changed to see that as an expression it is the myth but in practice you see transition points and you do it over/observe and over/observe again I was able to verify this statement personally. That my sadness turns to anger which leads to anxiety then back to sadness in jumps that are pre-established. Externally in UR and LR pre-established transition points is a very observable, like photons, and transitions from solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. But the myth shows we are always in perspective, but reality in all quadrants has a repeating cycles such that we can validate a priori points of transition. Science is filled with them. Oscar work can show that our psyche also does jump mutations.
Great point.

So much missing
Posted March 5th, 2011 by Brian OConnell in response to Missing attributes of GodThere is so much missing that I have shared. Basically there are many many more enneagrams that Arica works with. Just gave you one. I am not doing a full expression here. Would take years. Just sharing some ideas.

Thanks for your patience
Posted March 6th, 2011 by Carey Butler in response to So much missingYes, I can appreciate what you are saying. Surely there is more to this than can be expressed in this medium. I have the suspicion that you are on to something of great value.
Let us take this enneagram as an example. Please show me how that is in relation to any of the axioms - whether dialectic or trialectic.
And separately, I also need to know how this enneagram is being used to predict or explain anything.

Nope
Posted March 5th, 2011 by Brian OConnell in response to Ken WilberAs far as I know Ken knows nothing about Arica or Oscars work. But they do use a plagarised, miss complied version of personality types with the enneagram.

Reason to be concerned?

Not really
Posted March 5th, 2011 by Brian OConnell in response to Hegelian AxiomsThis is not my system but Oscar's. I will answer the best I can.
It is stages of development just like integral ken. That to get to dialectical thought formal is necessary. And same with trialectics, dialectics is necessary.

Dialectics
Posted March 6th, 2011 by Carey Butler in response to Not reallyThe Hegelian Dialectics are not a good foundation for something so wonderful as what you are building.
The Trialectics are not permissible as a foundation for anything.
I am so happy that your ego is not attached to this topic as it has been for others in this forum. You genuinely seem to understand that my perspective is not a vindictive or critical one. I am only trying to be of help. It is an honor for me because of this.

Regarding access...
Posted March 6th, 2011 by Carey Butler in response to [Comment Deleted]The availability of what you have created by supposed means of Trialectics is perhaps not a given, but the axioms are. Any trained logician can read and evaluate them.
If you want Trialectics to be of use to others, then it must have at least properties that will ensure that usefulness. Otherwise you are only creating another belief system.
Two of those properties are simplicity and accessibility.
The Universe is giving us a hint of this aspect of itself when reviewing Occam's Law (which is a constant).
Your definition of viability is acceptable for me. That is exactly what I mean when I say that the work you and others have presented, although quite possibly of much value, cannot follow from the Hegelian and Trialectic axioms.
I also agree with your admission, although you seem not yet convinced of it yourself, that these axioms do not compose a viable logic system. Yet even philosophically the axioms do not provide any basis. I will explain why in a moment.
As a prerequisite you must be prepared to separate what you folks are doing in Trialectics verses what the axioms allow you to be doing. This must be clear or the rest will not make any sense!
You and the others are doing, as far as I am at the moment able to ascertain, very good work. I am NOT criticizing your conclusions!
I maintain that those conclusions are coming from somewhere else other than the axioms!
Now to just ONE of those axioms:
---------------------------------------------------------
Let us take 3b:
Higher MMP's are responsive to the attraction of higher or lower correlating vibrations in a pre-established pattern.
Where in the axioms are these patterns described?
What is the criterion for a pattern?
Who establishes the pattern?
Why is "higher" and "lower" distinguished from each other.
Who determines higher or lower?
With respect to what is higher or lower recognized?
What domain of responses are available to a MMP?
What domain of responses are possible within the system?
How is attraction limited to higher or lower correlations?
I have more questions, but I would need to refer to other axioms in order to state them.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The questions you pose:
What Trialectics does. What purpose it serves. What capacity do you use to understand it. What tests or principles are contained in the system that would allow anything to be disproved. They are all very important questions to be answered.
But as you see - I haven't even gotten to those yet and I see problems.

deleted posts
Posted January 23rd, 2012 by bozo in response to Deleted posts!The reason these posts were deleted is that the Arica Thought Police, operating under the Red Queen, Sara Ichazo, trolls the web regularly looking for "Copyright" violations of principals of natural law. (you can't copyright a natural law). Violators are threatened with expulsion (putting them out of the school), shunning (Putting them in the water) or other draconian punishments fit for the inquistion. All of this started from people ripping off Ichazo's work and starting various other systems.. (Est/werner erhard, Helen Palmer, Risso, Naranjo etc.) w/out attribution or acknowledgement.
What started out as a spiritual school to share the sacred knowledge held in trust for humanity across the ages degenerated into a mom and pop boutique spiritual storefront, with endless trainings @ $750 a pop, and after 30 years, none of the graduates (we graduated at least 3 times according to Oscar at the reunions) allowed to pass on what they know.
The school went from a mission to help humanity to the participants being Lab Rats to prove Oscar's theory of Consciousness in the book that will never be published.
The methodology and practices work. The issue is that his wife has taken control of the school and turned it into exactly what it was not supposed to be, the glorification of the individual rather than the work of enlightenment. It's sad that it will probably have to wait till after Oscar Ichazo's death before anything can be done about it.
So that's why they deleted the posts, and you'll probably get an email about this post at some point, which will just confirm everything I've said.
All the Best!
Bozo, the clown of Crazy Wisdom!

Trialectics questioned in peer review!
Posted March 14th, 2011 by Carey ButlerAs I have indicated, Trialectics is not viable. Please read this abstract.
