The Subjective-Objective Dialectic Summary

CHAPTER 6
The Subjective-Objective Dialectic
The rational and the intuitive strive to remain exclusive of the other at the expense of obvious deficiencies. The rational objectifies life existence through foresight, prudence and regularity but emphasises the artistic view less. The intuitive has a contrarian view that minimally emphasises rationality but is subjective to the importance of illusion, imagination, dreaming and beauty. This separation evolved the Newtonian atomic thinking that in many respects is disintegrative but has dominated rational thought at the expense and exclusion of sociological considerations in most technological innovations. Our thinking needs to be holistically inclusive of the non-physical and intangible to quantum

The head always rears with time. The influence of Eastern religion is on the increase in Africa, roping in all and sundry, but concertedly burying local beliefs and dogma into the sand. Religiopreneurship has created economic, social and political powerhouses. Some are even beginning to steer the direction of the type of leadership we see in politics. At all levels of leadership, be it at family level, community, organisational and at national level, the extense of suspicion, lack of transparency, absence of collective and inclusive appointments, fear of the unknown, unitarian democracies and the either you are with us or you are the enemy options is rife. Fear of the dark rears its head for all to see. I am the only one who can do it is clearly dominant. How do we harness that fear of dark energies, that fear of a mighty unconquerable dark power to work for us, to convert into bone-fide positive energy? We must ignite the desire to: authentic self-awareness, enlightenment, true success, luminance, genuine acceptance of the good in who we are, enhancing it with the good from others. We are experiencing unprecedented dilemma in our comprehension and choice of our positive cultural values. It has become easier for us to abandon them and replace them with those of others. Why abandon? Why not leave behind those we view as not good or find irrelevant and borrow from others those that buttress us to be stronger? Are other cultures borrowing from us as much as we are from them? If not, is it because we do not have anything to offer them? Again, the dark side rings loudly. Are we afraid of the unknown that we cannot see? Why are we more accepting of the exogenous over our own knowledge, history and heritage? Are we even fully aware of whom we
