Natural Systems Philosophy
Applied to the Diverse Issues and Disorders of Our Culture
by Edwin L. Young, PhD
To some, at first sight, the essays and expositions below might seem like a large collection of stand-alone topics. In fact, all of them taken together are expressions of the “Natural Systems” philosophy. That is to say, all items are a part of an integrated whole. The point of the ‘whole' of "Natural Systems" is to get people to make a paradigm shift toward seeing the world in terms of integrated structures and systems. Instead of seeing or focusing on separate, fragmented, compartmentalized institutions, or organizations, "Natural Systems", at the highest level of external structures and systems, focuses on a society or culture as a whole. There can be several or many levels of external structures and systems, depending upon the purpose of the analyst. When focusing on any one aspect of any level of structure or system separately, the reader is directed next to try to see this structure in relation to others on a higher level and in relation to those on lower levels as well.
Particularly, this paradigm shift entails a shift away from analyzing or relating to the world simply from a person-centric point of view, as has been done for all previous millennia, toward a structure-centric perspective. Most importantly, that structure-centric perspective in "Natural Systems" entails seeing the world as an integration of the structures and systems of the external world with the internal structures and processes of the singular, individual, person.
Taken together, I have labeled these two juxtaposed figures, the external structures and the internal structures and processes, the "Duplex Pyramids.” The "Duplex Pyramids" is the logo of Natural Systems. This logo has one pyramid on the bottom, representing the internal structures and processes of the individual. Above the bottom pyramid, an inverted pyramid represents the external structures and systems of the world. To see the world in this holistic manner means becoming able to see and understand how these two dimensions are integrated and how they interact.
Of course, "Natural Systems" still involves taking into consideration how the singular individual has or can have an impact on the external structures and systems of their world. However, that emphasis must include, rather the emphasis must be supplanted by, a focus on the external structures and systems of the world. We must try to determine how they shape the person. Furthermore, "Natural Systems" emphasizes how we can and should change the external structures and systems in such a way as to promote the growth of persons toward greater health and higher levels of maturity.
The ultimate purpose of "Natural Systems" is to discover how we can break the ossified, once successful and now deadly, interlocking, systems of institutions that comprise an entire culture, particularly our own. These ossified and deadly structures and systems of the world now, more than ever, are destructive to the earth, its natural environment, to our way of life, the quality of life of all people and creatures, and to the very survival of all individual persons and all life inhabiting the entire planet. "Natural Systems" hopes to begin to reverse these deadly, the destructive trends of these structures and systems and replace them with more globally beneficial trends for the present and hopefully, for billions of years yet to come.
The first listing under the 'Outline of Topics' is, naturally enough, the Introduction to Natural Systems. It is important to understand. No, it is most important to understand that restructuring civilizations' structures requires a 'levels' approach to structural analysis. The analyst makes an initial decision concerning how many levels of external structures to use. The number of levels typically is revised repeatedly as the analyst gains more insight into the issue being addressed. I typically begin with about five levels of external structures. Similarly, it is important, no it is essential, that the analyst decide which systems will be involved in the analysis. Each level of structure entails multiple systems. I typically examine about eight systems within each level of structure that is examined. These levels of structure and the systems that are interlocked and dynamically functioning within them are explicated in the Introduction immediately below. This way of proceeding attempts to be true to the internal structures and processes of the person as they are shaped by each aspect of the interlocking systems within each of the levels of external structures. For me, this has been and continues to be a very mentally demanding way to proceed.
I first began noticing the roles that levels of external structures and their systems played in shaping the internal structures and processes of persons in the latter part of the nineteen sixties. Over the many years after that initial insight, I began to and I continue to try to formulate how these two, the external and internal, dynamically interact. I am still doing so today. I do this because I found, over the course of my career, that the more thoroughly I understood these relationships, the more successful I was at reforming institutions such as adult and juvenile prisons, mental hospitals, educational programs, and community organizations. In consequence, that success was evaluated in terms of the extent to which individuals subject to the programs of these reformed institutions grew more healthy, mature, and socially responsible.
When I was in my late
teens, with having just a faint glimmer of where I eventually would be
intellectually, nevertheless, I can now see what has been my single-minded
mission ever since then and has been expanding throughout my life span up to the
present. Underlying this mission, this life’s work, has been a deep compassion
for, not just the human species, but all life on earth. Even from that early
age, I could see how the ravenous, shortsighted humans were devouring and
endangering the very existence of other species and ourselves along with them.
It has been a lonely mental life. I cannot count on the fingers of my hands the
number of people who have understood and supported what I was saying and
writing. My thoughts have seemed not just eccentric but preposterous to almost
everyone from beginnings throughout the journeys, except that is, until after I
had been proved right or was successful. From that early age, I sensed that that
would be my fate and that is what I would have to bare throughout my life. It
has, of course, been worth it as I have seen the relief of so much human
suffering even though neither cohorts and nor benefactors, with the exception of
the tiny few, ever understood why.
From those earliest days, my vision,
my mission, gradually has been expanding until now, in retirement, it has
reached its most sweeping scope. From one stage of life to another, my thinking
trended in an ever more inclusive way from the interior of the mind to the
evolution of global structures and systems of civilizations and the interaction
between these two. This culminated, by the early nineteen eighties, in my
formulation of the ‘Duplex Pyramids’ as the icon of my Natural Systems Theory.
With that all-inclusive perspective as the framework or scaffolding, I have been
involved in trying to uncover the nature of the human mind and how to expand its
possibilities, the way the modern media shapes our minds and interests and
desires, how the media and our political system interact, what the nature of our
society and culture is like in the most general sense, how the politics and
economics of nations interact, how our and the world’s energy systems interact
and affect international relations, why our culture is so violent and why we are
so devoted to a huge and fierce military, how our legal and justice system came
to be and how it has negative effects on the population, how the world’s
religions affect cultures and facilitate global conflicts and war, what has
shaped the characteristics of genders and how human sexuality has led to global
population explosion which also leads to world conflicts over natural resources,
how our culture and cultures of other nations shapes both parenting styles and
educational systems, what have been the limitations of approaches to treating
the mental and physical health of individuals, the what about the institutions
of our culture must be changed, and, finally, trying to envision more effective
ways to alter the human specie’s path toward self-annihilation.
Aside from, or rather complementing, the external structures and systems and internal structures and processes, Natural Systems has also developed and method for delineating and shaping the processes of intentionality. Traditional psychology has rather exhaustively researched the rather circumscribed internal structures and processes of humans such as perception, memory, learning, cognition, motivation, life history, identity and self-concept, and behavior, particularly interpersonal behavior. The processes of intentionality, as an internal system, have been given little attention. Intentionality has been thought to be too subjective and speculative. Natural Systems developed a model of intentionality, researched it and found it confirmed, and successfully used it in designing the programs of external structures and systems so as to shape the person's intentionality processes to induce growth toward increased physical and mental health, maturity, and social responsibility.
Now, in my retirement and at age seventy-seven, I am still extending the use of the Natural Systems approach to analyses of an ever broader and deeper range of cultural problems, yet still keeping the Duplex Pyramids perspective, as you will see in the essays and presentations under the fifteen topics listed below.
