Systasis & Synaeresis (2)

The integral structure of the consciousness

Earlier I explained the difference of visions between Carl Jung and Rudolf Steiner. Whereas Jung dealt with 2 worlds – conscious/personal and unconscious/shadow – Steiner based it upon one source with several dimensions and structures, so does Jean Gebser :

There is no so-called unconsciousness. There are only various modalities (or intensities) of consciousness; a one-dimensional magical, a two-dimensional mythical and a three-dimensional mental consciousness. And there will also be an integral four-dimensional consciousness of the whole.”

A modality is synonymous to a dimension, some kind of structure with its own specific functionality, as far as I read it in his description. In this way I read the word “synergy”. Synergy emerges when several energies cristalize, whereas they have the functionality to contribute to the continuity or survival of the organism or system. Reconsidering the term “autopoiesis”, can I mean here a network of constructures or is this too mechanical, too physio-biological ? Events of energies as cristalizations may not be considered as networks in the way the Chaos Theory does. Because there is no matter in this flow beneath energy and information.

So it is more than clear that transcendence to higher levels of your consciousness is an integral activity, activating each part within the spectre of Intelligence to gain higher levels of consciouseness and because of the activation new functionalities exply, unfold implicated orders (Bohm). Otherwise it is another expression for the human unique talent out of its potential. Perhaps integration isn’t even a sufficiently powerful word; maybe induction is. I even may neglect them both and focus on the term “transcending” to a higher level of consciousness.

So gathering the knowledge of systasis, synaeresis and synergy, I conclude that esoterically speaking, synergy emerges at each level, in a microscopic and in a macroscopic world. Even free of precondions when we regard the energetic dimensions. This possibilitity exists also – according to me – within the spectre of intelligence. This implies that the result or product of synergetic activities are new orders, more simplex and less complex, more translucent and less troubled views. Transcendence as a process or unique activities by the skills of actualization – synergy – emerging out of potential, embedded in the whole Spectre of Intelligence with the final result of the most simplex structure of consciousness.

So Gebser says :

“Synaeresis fulfills the a-perspectival integrative perception of systasis and system and is a precondition for diaphany, which is able to be realized when, in addition tot systasis and system – the symbol with its mythical effectivity – and magic symbiosis are included, that is to say, present.”

Note : “Integral & Individual” = integredividual (moƬ) or integrative

Varely and Whitehead display a clear understanding of the need for a synaeretic mode of perception that breaks free of spatial categories and systematization endemic to the mental structure. The related processes or constructurization of autopoiesis and concrescence bring together each of the new structures or orders of consciousness.
