Transcending actions through language

In the world of action it is impossible to do the action and its opposite, to lower taxes and raise taxes.  A paradox cannot exist.

One resolution is to divide the people into their respective groups. Each group lives in their own reality with a belief statement and an idea that the groups are united.  Thus each state in the union raises or lowers taxes according to their local majority, yet all states appreciate that they are part of the union.  This is a resolution in space.

Similarly, a resolution in time is possible.  For example, in year one the taxes will be raised and in year two the taxes will be lowered.  The synthesis is evident in the Ashlagian perspective, where the first action is re-interpreted in light of the second action.  The people pay higher taxes knowing that they are doing it to pay lower taxes, thus the action of payment of higher taxes is truly an action of paying lower taxes.

Both these approaches do not feel like the power of the people, but more like the power of separation of the people, in space or time.

[I have a similar frustration with analyzing the hierarchical society vs. the horizontal society.  Replacing the human ruling party, Rex, with a divine ruling party, God, does not change the contribution of the people that are ruled.  A common law under God is no different than a common law under the Rex – more on this later.]

A resolution above time and space is possible in the world of ideas.  The trick is finding a new language to describe the creative idea and then conversing with that language and thus bring the idea into adoption as action. 

In our example, the word ‘taxes’ is an action, with very well defined connotations to each side of the argument.  Some interpret ‘taxes’ as a negative economic force and others interpret ‘taxes’ as a positive societal force.  The gap between the parties is in the world of action and cannot be bridged.

A new word need to be introduced into the conversation, perhaps ‘investment’ or ‘partnership’.  Instead of raising taxes both parties could agree to a recommended investment policy in the government.  Each citizen is invited to create a partnership with the government, to invest in the government.

This new language is an invention, a new idea.  The idea creates a space for a new conversation between the parties, thus, enabling the idea to be adopted into an action.
