Teleology

Teleology and your élan vital

What has Determinism, Causality and Free Will to do with the subject ? The topic of Teleology is new and is to be written in my latest books or a new one.

Determinism is a metaphysical position stating that for everything that happens – event -  are conditions or preconditions. Nothing else is there to happen. Of course there are more than 1 determinism, depending upon what pre conditions are considered to be, regarding layers or dimensions of energy (as I already mentioned). Some forms can empirically be tested. These tests are to be found within the physical fields, the world of matter and-or mass. Determinism’s opposite is often considered as the “Free Will”. Will is synonymous to our heart (chakra).

When discussing determinism we have to deal with another aspect being causality. That’s not the most difficult sentence to understand. Far more difficult it is to see the right link in between. Causality has more to do with any new kind of state, whereby this state is completely determined by prior states. Therefore Carl Jung called it simply “Synchronicity”, when completely – for human – unrecognizable links between 2 events or objects show similarities. Determinism becomes a kind of divine state, it’s based upon the intelligence of nature or even the Universe. Is Free Will possible ? According to Stephen Hawking there is none. So regarding criminal minds punishment is useless because they had no choice in not committing their crimes. Therefore it has more meaning in imprisoning these potential criminals That's also a reason that we should not endeavor the goodness above the evil, it's useless. If Hawking is capable to overthink and state this, then this means that Free Will does exist.

Teleology is the study of design or purpose of natural phenomena. Herewith it is possible to predict outcomes of events. So it is cyclic and it has patterns like we recognize at Complex Adaptive Systems – CAS. CAS is like a dissipative system, open system free for radiating, receiving and attracting (free) energy. Consider “Maxwell’s Daemon”. A dissipative structure is an energetically open system that emerges in non-equilibrium conditions; eg. tornado or a whirlpool. Although it looks like a free and energetically free and open structure, this has its specific and in human terms speaking unicity. So like the term autopoiesis. A biological intrinsic self-reproducing system, mostly or even only based upon recoveries and improvements for itself. Self-Adaption in favour of itself and its survival, pandering to its purpose (Teleology).

Vitalism as the doctrine that phenomena are guided by both mechanical purposes and goals of Self Realization. Realization, Aristotle’s Potential & Actualization or EnTelecheia, one’s Intelligence combined with (first) Self Awareness (biologically – Jacques Lacan). Consciousness followed up by Self Consciousness, someone’s integral capability of skills to use his or her Intelligence to develop, to surrender to this Implicated Order within (David Bohm).

Surrendering means losing control of what is going to happen anyway (life purpose), the hard or the right way, your Free Will how to deal with it during your life on earth. A human as a dissipative system, a substance, a crystallization or precipitation of various energies including the divine spark.
