Abstract: The pre-scientific philosophical (Platonic) and archetypal (Biblical; Vedic, gnostic, pagan, etc.) notion of a Demiurge (cosmic maker or shaper) or creator-god can be contemporized in terms of the deterministic, self-organizing dynamics of Chaos Theory. “In the beginning” was Chaos, the negentropic Source. The creative edge of chaos is implicated in the creation of the universe, as well as in human creativity and learning processes. We propose a universal theory of creativity emerging from chaos theory.

The most primordial aspect of creation, the Demiurgic Field (DUF) as continuous creation, underlies and continues to influence energic/material and psychic processes. The DUF is cosmic “zero,” the negentropic source of emergent order or ground state – the source of physical manifestation and our psychophysical being. We can employ procedures to connect with this source of inspiration and renewal in a holistic manner. An organic, rather than mechanistic, paradigm for shaping modern culture and creative lifestyles emerges.

THE DEMIURGIC FIELD:

Its Patterning Role in Chaos, Creation, and Creativity

By Iona Miller (USA) and Paul Wildman, Ph.D. (AUST.)



Abstract: The pre-scientific philosophical (Platonic) and archetypal (Biblical; Vedic, gnostic, pagan, etc.) notion of a Demiurge (cosmic maker or shaper) or creator-god can be contemporized in terms of the deterministic, self-organizing dynamics of Chaos Theory. “In the beginning” was Chaos, the negentropic Source. More than a metaphor, the creative edge of chaos is implicated in the creation of the universe, as well as in human creativity and learning processes. We propose a universal theory of creativity emerging from chaos theory.

The most primordial aspect of creation, the Demiurgic Field (DUF) as continuous creation, underlies and continues to influence energic/material and psychic processes. The DUF is cosmic “zero,” the negentropic source of emergent order or ground state – the source of physical manifestation and our psychophysical being. We can employ procedures to connect with this source of inspiration and renewal in a holistic manner. An organic, rather than mechanistic, paradigm for shaping modern culture and creative lifestyles emerges.

Subtle fluctuations in this creative ground state (DUF) may be pumped up by the ‘butterfly effect’ into perceivable effects. The human neurosystem may be responsive to fluctuations at the level of a single quantum. Shaking the system a little can jolt a sub-optimal state, causing it to roll down to a deeper hollow in the energy landscape (chreode), representing a better solution. Demiurgic intentionality acts through the medium of nature much like our human creative intentionality works as artificer on or through a medium.

We suggest chaotic excitability is a universal sense organ. The linkage mechanism of DUF to archetype to human perception or response may be a combination of fractal chaos and quantum mechanical fluctuation, patterned by the metaphysical virtual field ‘intentionality’ through chaotic excitability. Adaptation is actually a holistic model of a consciousness-expanding process (DUF), involving the mutual interaction of self-reflection and self-correction (shaping) at the individual and collective levels of our existence. The same essential dynamics that gave rise to the birth of the universe and evolution govern human creativity and learning.

Keywords: Disciplinary interface, chaos theory, negentropy, creativity, typology, archetypes, values and ethics, Demiurgic Field, creation myths, information theory, sustainable lifestyles, learning, holism, depth psychology, transpersonal psychology, metaphors, paradigm shift, physics, complexity, cross-cultural mythopoesis, imagination, vacuum potential, zero-point energy, quantum foam, noetics, heuristics, consciousness studies.

Brian Eno

Eno has spent a great deal of his life sowing creative seeds and “77 Million Paintings” could be considered his most complex and fruitful project. It continues to grow and sprout new ideas, which makes Eno particularly proud. “One of the great breakthroughs of evolution theory is that you can start with simple things and they will grow into complexity,” he says. “This is very unintuitive — it’s one of these things that the human brain isn’t immediately capable of grasping. It doesn’t make sense until you see it. You have the idea that this small thing, which can’t contain that many instructions, produces this hugely complex interwoven, interdependent world. One of the things I like about this piece of work is that they stand as proof of that.”

The Red Book

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Book_%28Jung%29



About the Red Book, Jung said:

The years… when I pursued the inner images, were the most important time of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore. My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. That was the stuff and material for more than only one life. Everything later was merely the outer classification, scientific elaboration, and the integration into life. But the numinous beginning, which contained everything, was then.

Abstract Filmaker from 1930s Len Lye

William S. Burroughs- The Cut-Ups

"This is the first serious critical study to contextualize the films of Burroughs, Balch, and Gysin within the analytical framework of the "structural film" as defined by P. A. Sitney and the other structural film movements occurring seemingly simultaneously around Europe and America. Barry Miles, in his study of the period The Beat Hotel, notes the presence of an important and influential figure from the Fluxus group within the "Domain Poetique" events, Emmett Williams. Miles also notes that George Maciunas attended a performance in Paris and categorized Gysin's work as "expanded cinema." The fact that these disparate groups would have met and exchanged ideas is an important and often undervalued detail."

Marc Chagall

'Chagall, the artist who they all agree,'paints straight from the unconscious''

The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

"We all need someone to look at us. we can be divided into four categories according to the kind of look we wish to live under. the first category longs for the look of an infinite number of anonymous eyes, in other words, for the look of the public. the second category is made up of people who have a vital need to be looked at by many known eyes. they are the tireless hosts of cocktail parties and dinners. they are happier than the people in the first category, who, when they lose their public, have the feeling that the lights have gone out in the room of their lives. this happens to nearly all of them sooner or later. people in the second category, on the other hand, can always come up with the eyes they need. then there is the third category, the category of people who need to be constantly before the eyes of the person they love. their situation is as dangerous as the situation of people in the first category. one day the eyes of their beloved will close, and the room will go dark. and finally there is the fourth category, the rarest, the category of people who live in the imaginary eyes of those who are not present. they are the dreamers."
— Milan Kundera
