‘Self-Identity Self-Transformation and
Social Revolution’, Part 04: ‘Seldon’s Soliloquies Series’.
Dear Reader,
It
is my pleasure,
and my honor, as an officer of the Foundation Encyclopedia
Dialectica [F.E.D.]
Office of Public Liaison, and
as a voting member of F.E.D.,
to share, with
you, from
time to time, as
they
are approved
for public release by
the F.E.D.
General Council, key
excerpts
from the internal writings, and from the internal sayings, of our co-founder,
Karl Seldon.
The
fourth such release in this new series is posted below [Some E.D.
standard edits have been applied, in the version presented
below, by the
editors of the Special Council for the Encyclopedia, to the direct transcript of our co-founder’s
discourse].
This 4th installment addresses ‘Self-Identity Self-Transformation’, in the formation of Karl Seldon himself,
in the context of the dream-vision which seeded his life work and his life’s
mission.
Seldon --
“... All of my
parents’ coaching -- especially my mother’s coaching -- to be open to
friendships, to cooperation, to human solidarity with people of other
languages, of other regions, of other nations, of other ethnicities -- and even,
through the science fiction movies to which my father exposed me, to aliens,
e.g., to extraterrestrial humanoids, and to “artificially intelligent” robots
-- seemed to come together, during that dream, all at once.”
“In
an instant, in a flash, I was no longer only me of my family, me of my
neighborhood, me of my elementary school, me of my city, of my province or
region or nation, or me of my religious tradition, or of my ethnicity. Not even was I any longer only me of Earth,
or only me of Earth’s human species. I
was also ‘me of the cosmos’ -- ‘citizen of the totality’.”
“As
I stood within the world of my dream, facing, and looking upon, that upward-pointing
conical stone with its ‘Equation-Scripture-Prophecy-in-Stone’ carved into it, and
as, in response, I rose through and from self-identity to expanded
self-identity at an accelerating clip, as if in the blink of an eye, I could no
longer fix on any one of those self-identity “stages” -- I could no longer fix
on any fixed identity.”
“My
self-identification quickly came to be with that accelerating process and
progress of ‘self-identity self-transformation’ itself, and not with
any one stage of that process/progress -- not even with its “final” stage, for
me, of universal self-identity; not with any fixed stage.”
“That
is, I had, in a few heartbeats, grown a “growth self-identity”, but one with a
vengeance: an ‘onto-dynamasis
self-identity’, i.e., one that encompassed qualitative, ontological growth -- revolutionary growth, with
continuing self-irruption of new ‘psyche-ic
ontology’.”
“And
I saw further that the core impetus for these “self-identity transformations”
was, indeed, ‘self-identity self-transformation’,
especially for those revolutionary
‘psyche-ic onto-dynamases’,
rising from predecessor to successor self-identities; that this impetus arose
ultimately from within
the predecessor self-identity itself.
Such transformation was primarily self-transformation, shaped by the coupling of
the internal
difficulties with the external
difficulties faced by each predecessor self-identity.”
“But
these realizations were dream
realizations, almost unconscious realizations, mostly beyond my intellectual
and emotional level of maturity at the time of my dream. Yet, they planted seeds that sprouted into
fuller, waking awareness later, and slowly, gradually, at first.”
“As
this remembered, expanded dream
self-identity gradually converted my waking
self-identity, over many years, I slowly came to better grasp how differently, than I did, many others in my waking
world self-identified; to comprehend why my self-identity was so anathema to so many of those of
narrower self identification, who predominated in my waking world. And I began to gravitate toward those far
between hints of expanded self identification in others that were then so rare,
so dispersed, and so hidden in that world. ...”
