Trapped by self-definition
• Our perception of environmental crisis makes us ask ‘what can we do about it?’
• But we don’t question the thinking that traps us in adversarial views of self and neighbourhood
• We can change how we view our human situation
in the world
• This can help us to live more harmoniously

Two questions of feeling
• How does it feel to understand your self fluidly,
as a simultaneously receptive and responsive
inclusion of all you behold?
• How does it feel to deny or be denied that
understanding?

The thought that leads to conflictPitting ‘self’ or ‘us’ against ‘other’
• ‘To be or not to be, that is the question’ –
Hamlet
• ‘The environment is everything that isn’t me’
– Einstein
• ‘The preservation of favoured races in the
struggle for life’ – Darwin
• ‘You are either with us or against us’ –
sundry political ‘leaders’

The thought that leads to careincluding context in self and self in context
• ‘In Nature everything is distinct, yet nothing defined into absolute, independent singleness’ – William Wordsworth
• ‘We cannot step in the same river twice’; ‘wisdom is…understanding of how all is steered through all’ – Heraclitus
• ‘The microbe is nothing, the terrain is all’ – Louis Pasteur

Representations of space and boundaries – what makes us detach from
nature?
‘Nature does not complete things. She is chaotic. Man must finish, and he does so by making a
garden and building a wall’ – Robert Frost
From Warm Involvement to COLD DETACHMENT
Fluid and FIXED perceptions of natural geometry

Dynamic involvement – fluid nature

Arid confrontation - the rationalization of nature
![Page 9: What happens when ICE melts? From (environ)mental block age to the co-creative flow of natural inclusion Alan Rayner](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cbf5503460f949851b5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The cubical cubicle of objective rationality – ‘the ICE block’
The fixed perception of natural geometry corresponds with classical objective rationality
Based on the exclusion of space from matter and resulting logic of absolutely definable form
Everything, by definition, is made discontinuous: either A or not A, it cannot be both – the Law of the Excluded Middle

The fluid dimensionality of inclusionality
• Recognizes that material (informational) and immaterial (spatial) are mutually inclusive
• Inner/outer worlds are dynamically continuous
• All local appearances arise as flow-forms in dynamic receptive and responsive relationship
• Space (receptive influence) pools together and boundaries (responsive surfacing) are dynamic relational interfacings

The fluid logic of inclusionality
A new logic and principle of the ‘included middle’
The inhabitant is a dynamic inclusion of the habitat, not an exception from it
Inclusional flow entails the local-non-local logic of somewhere as a dynamic inclusion of everywhere

A Copernican revolution of ‘self as neighbourhood’
From local, fixed centred and discontinuous, to local-non-local and dynamically continuous
Self-identity is transfigured from an autonomous ‘I alone’ to a receptive-responsive, local-non-local dynamic neighbourhood
The ‘ghost in the machine’ decentralizes everywhere. Receptive (loving) influence permeates all

The ‘superchannel’ of fluid neighbourhood
Overlapping local spheres of non-local influence create a continuous, double helical, resonant channel of three-in-one informational couplings

The language and art of natural inclusion
Definitive language and imagery reinforce
discontinuous perceptions of nature
Inclusional language and imagery correspond
with evolutionary flow
