8 - Logical Language - Analogical Language

“Logical” language is the expression of Western scientific thought; it aims to find the postulate “truth” that can proven through the relationship of cause-effect. By means of this logical language Western therapists describe and utilize their results.

With the same purpose, CTM uses an “analogical language” which seeks to find the description of the energetic dynamics among categories without any connection to cause-effect.

Using analogical concepts it describes “the passage” to the “middle road”, the Tao, that leads to the Centre, where can be found the point of equilibrium between the linear and the chaotic dynamics, according to the laws of nature.

CTM also uses an analogical metalanguage to provide an accessible method of work to those therapists who lack the necessary cultural basis in order understand the complexities present in this holistic medicine, which operates in accordance with the universal laws of nature.

The integration of the two operative methods and the use of their respective languages offers a potent means of communication, with which it is possible to face and clearly describe any kind of situation.

CTM has recognized in the complexity of the living being’s system the need of a language which adequately expresses the conceptual framework adopted. When the complex system moves within linear, causal dynamics the use of alogical language is most satisfactory. To shed light upon the complexity of the system’s dynamics when chaotic events occur, CTM deemed it necessary to express the concepts gathered through the examination of the EC at the pulses in comprehensive manner: therefore these concepts were translated into an “analogical language”. Casual events present non-rational, a-causal, chaotic coherency. CTM gives expression to these chaotic alterations, which are at the root of the system’s changes, through the use of a symbolic, analogical language. In this way CTM describes the new situations which develop, even when the extremely complex correlations present themselves.

The linear dynamic is described through the language of the causal logical which gives an exact description of the equilibrium of the rhythms in the flow of time.The alteration brought about by the chaotic dynamics is reflected in the symbolic, analogical language, which can be communicated inside the evolving situations.

The symbolic language belongs to the imaginary world of the collective as well the individual's subconscious, as it expresses its ideas through prelogical figures, which are “energetic forces ”; they are not “significant”, yet they create streams of thought, networks of interactive relationships which precede and determine cognitive experiences. Logical concepts separate and differentiate the meanings of an experience, whereas symbolic language connects these meanings, in a vision that is not tied to words or to their possible interpretations. This is why analogical, symbolic language, the language of the imaginary, opens the way to a wide horizon, which carries potent messages towards the universal: the parameters of space and time become amplified and contribute to the specificity of the individual's “history”.

The expression of language, literal or symbolic, adopted to represent the dialectics of CTM, shed light onto the characteristics of the complexity: the dynamics and the indeterminacy inside the vital process. The description of the intra or extra psychic activities, of the physical or mental phenomenological dynamics, evidence an unlimited number of structures with various levels of “significance”, which participate in the psychophysical, complex, dynamic, indeterminate activities.

The infinite potentialities and the richness of this approach towards reality, with the introduction of the concept of chaos, that is causality and its laws, are evident when examining the complexity of the mental processes which describe brain activity. Behavioural adaptability and plasticity are the two essential factors of non-linear dynamic systems, which can carry out transitions in conditions far from the energetic equilibrium. The use of “correspondences” ensures a sufficiently articulate vision of these evolutions.

Individuals can reach “knowledge” in an orderly, analytical manner, through the informationreceived from the sensory organs; or else they can gain “consciousness” in a receptive and integrated manner through the direct perception of the meaning of their emotions.

It appears evident that for these two different methods of “achieving knowledge” it is useful to adopt a double language: logical, mentally elaborated through memory of the past; or intuitive, analogical, focused on the present

A particular xxxxxxx, an analogical language and semantics make it possible to communicate with a large series of categories which, being dynamic ensembles, at various levels, open unexpected horizons on individual existential values

Cognitive action takes place inside language: through knowledge the individual avoids excesses and chooses the normal regularity of the world: to begin their journey on the “middle road”, the Tao, the path which leads to the equilibrium of the system's dynamics. The occurrence of language and of social relationships within the environment produces experiences of the "mind" and of self-consciousness, with which the behavioural coordination within the individual’s “existential conscience” will be created .

The examination of the EC at the pulses offers the therapist a complex mass ofnotions, which must be considered the expression of the double language (causal-logical and casual-analogical, symbolic) with which it is possible to face“normal” situations as well as “new” situations, represented by changes of rhythm within the flow of time and by alterations inside the energetic equilibrium.
