GROUP LABEL

I AM MY GROUP.
EACH GROUP HAS ITS OWN CULTURE, RULES, AND VALUE
THIS GROUP IS SOCIAL MADE
THIS GROUP HAS EITHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE VALUE
THIS SOCIAL CURRENCY IS WHAT WE COLLECT
TO BE WEALTHY OF LABEL OF POSITIVE VALUES.
SINCE WE ARE IGNORANT, WE CRAVE SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE AND APPROVAL
WE GO AFTER THESE GROUP MEMBERSHIP THAT HAS POSITIVE VALUES
OR WE PRETEND BY WEARING ITS SYMBOLS
WE EXPERIENCE ANXIETY AND SHAME IF WE BELONG TO THE GROUP THAT HAS NEGATIVE VALUES
OUR GREED GOES AFTER SUPERIOR GROUP, FAME, WEALTH, AND POWER
WE FEEL BETTER IF WE DO AND WE FEEL BAD IF WE DON'T BELONG TO THESE GROUPS
THAT'S OUR MENTAL SELF.

KALO SAYA HINA KAMU "KAMU JELEK, KURANG AJAR, BAJINGAN, ETC" SAYA SE BENERNYA SEDANG MASUKIN KAMU DALAM KELOMPOK SEBUAH GROUP YG MEMILIKI REPUTASI NEGATIF.

A PERSON WITH A LARGE EGO IS A PERSON WHO IS HOLDING TO HIS GROUP LABEL TIGHTLY, GREAT PERSON, CEO, THE BEST, PERFECT, ETC.

ALL THINGS IS A CATEGORY OR KELOMPOK. IF A PERSON IS A GROUP LABEL, THINGS HAS SYMBOL OR VALUE REPRESENTING SOMETHING ELSE. EVEN A GROUP LABEL IS A SYMBOL. THAT'S WHY ALL ACTION IS SYMBOLIC, IT HAS MEANING. ALL SYMBOLS HAVE MEANING.

SO EVERYTHING HAS A NAME AND SYMBOLIC VALUE/INFERENCE AND JUDGEMENT. THIS SYMBOLIC VALUE IS THE UTILIZATION/SUBJECTIVE MEANING. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ME. OUR EMOTION REACT TO THIS MEANING.

EVEN THE NAME ITSELF IS SYMBOLIC. LIKE A NAME OF A CHILD. ALL WORDS ARE SYMBOLS/SET OF SYMBOLS CALLED LANGUAGE, THAT WE AGREE TOGETHER TO REPRESENT "WHAT WE PERCEIVE".

HOWEVER, WHAT A PERSON PERCEIVE IS SUBJECTIVE AND PERSONAL WITH SOME CONVENTIONAL/AGREEMENT. IT'S A SYMBOL/GROUP LABEL WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH.

WE DON'T PERCEIVE THE OBJECT ITSELF. IT IS ABSURD. WE RELY ON BOTTOM UP PROCESS KNOWLEDGE TO SUPLEMENT WHAT WE SENSE. WE PERCEIVE AN OBJECT ONLY BE APPEARANCE. WE ONLY PERCEIVE PHENOMENA. MOST OF THE TIME, WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE OBJECT/PHENOM, WE ONLY PERCEIVE THE NAME AND ITS STORY. BUT THE THOUGHT ITSELF IS A PHENOM BECAUSE IT IS AN EXPERIENCE.

WE CREATE STORY ABOUT A PHENOMENON, EVEN A STORY ABOUT THE STORY. THIS IS MEMORY. THE FIRST STORY IS USUALLY OBJECTIVE OR HAS LOW ABSTRACTION, THE SECOND STORY IS USUALLY HAS MORE INFERENCE AND JUDGEMENT AND HAS HIGHER ABSTRACTION. IT IS MORE SUBJECTIVE.

WE SENSE APPEARANCE OF AN OBJECT, WE DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW THE SUBSTANCE OF AN OBJECT, WE USUALLY CREATE IT, OR EVEN PERSONALIZE OR ANTHROMORPH IT.

SENSING IS THE FIRST STAGE, OUR CONTACT WITH ENVIRONMENT. THIS IS A BIOCHEMICAL ELECTRONICAL PHYSICAL PROCESS. NEXT STAGE IS WE GIVE A NAME, "THIS IS AN APPLE", EXTENTIONAL MEANING BY POINTING TO THE OBJECT. THE NEXT STAGE IS REPLACING THE OBJECT WITH THE NAME ONLY, NAME WITH ABSENT OBJECT. THE NEXT STAGE IS CREATE A STORY BEHIND IT, THE INFERENCE AND JUDGEMENT, PERSONALIZE IT.

EVEN IN THE FIRST STAGE, WE DON'T ACTUALLY "SENSE" THE SUBSTANCE OF AN OBJECT, WE DON'T KNOW THE SUBSTANCE. OUR SENSE BY ITSELF IS BLIND. OUR VISION CANNOT FEEL TEXTURE OR HEAR SOUND OR TASTE/SMELL. VISION ONLY SEE APPEARANCE OF AN OBJECT, HEARING ONLY HEAR THE FINAL PRODUCT OF RECOGNIZABLE SOUND/NOISE. BECAUSE ALL APPEARANCE IS THE FINAL PRODUCT OF PERCEPTION PROCESS THAT WAS CONSCIOUSED AND EXPERIENCED. WE ONLY SEE WHAT WE RECOGNIZE. WE ONLY SEE WHAT WE WANT TO SEE OR HAS BEEN PROGRAMMED TO SEE. OUR MIND CREATE OUR PERCEPTION, OUR VISION, HEARING, ETC. WE ACTUALLY SEE AN OBJECT IN OUR MIND, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IN THE ENVIRONMENT. OUR EYES ONLY CATCH 3 COLORS AND DEPTH.

SO MOST OF OUR PERCEPTION IS BOTTOM UP. VISION DON'T MAKE CONTACT WITH OBJECTS, OUR EYES ONLY MAKE CONTACT WITH LIGHT/REFLECTION OF LIGHT. LIKEWISE WITH HEARING. VISION IS THE ONLY SENSE THAT PERCEIVE THE WHOLE OBJECT, HEARING, TOUCHING, TASTING, AND SMELLING ALL SENSE ATTRIBUTE OF OBJECTS, LIKE HOW IT SOUND, TASTE, SMELL, ETC. BUT EVEN VISION ONLY SEE HOW IT APPEAR.

SO FIRST THERE IS PHYSICAL CHEMICAL ELECTRONICAL CONTACT WITH ENERGY, LIKE LIGHT, SOUND. SECOND, THERE IS PHYSICAL CHEMICAL ELECTRONICAL BIOLOGICAL REACTION/PROCESS IN OUR BODY "PERCEPTION" THAT PROCESS THE "SENSE INFORMATION". THE FIRST STAGE IS BIOLOGICAL/UNINTERRUPTED, THE SECOND STAGE IS ALSO UNINTERRUPTED BUT WE CAN BE AWARE OF THE CONTENT. THIS IS CONSCIOUSNESS/AWARENESS. THIS CONTENT IS OUR MENTAL WORLD.

 SO, ALL OUR SENSES ONLY GIVES US PHENOMENA. WHAT WE CALL EXPERIENCE IS THIS PHENOMENA, PRESENT AND ABSENT OBJECTS, AND THE STORY OF THE PHENOMENA, THE PRIVATE AND PUBLIC MEANING, PERSONAL AND CULTURAL MEANING. "THIS IS AN APPLE" IS A PHENOMENA.

LADDER OF ABSTRACTION OF AN OBJECT:
1. THE OBJECT (UNKNOWN PHYSICALCHEMICAL BIOLOGICAL REACTION)
2. PERCEIVED OBJECT PHENOMENON
3. NAME OF THE OBJECT
4. THE GROUP LABEL
5. HIGHER GROUP LABEL
6. ETC

ABSTRACTION AND CLASSIFICATION INVOLVES SIMILARIZING.

EXPERIENCE IS NOT ABSOLUTE BECAUSE WE DON'T "EXPERIENCE" REALITY. EXPERIENCE IS SUBJECTIVE AND SELECTIVE. IT IS THE FINAL PRODUCT OF CONSCIOUSNESS. IT IS SLOWER, IT IS REFLECTION. OUR WORLD IS NOT THE EARTH. IT'S THE SECOND PROCESS. IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL REACTION/PROCESS. MOST OF US LIVE IN THIS SECOND PROCESS BUT BELIEVE THAT IT IS THE FIRST/ORIGINAL PROCESS. THIS IS SUFFERING.

SYMBOLS ARE THE PRODUCTS OF COGNITION. EMOTIONAL REACTION IS SIGNAL REACTION, IT IS NOT FIT IN SYMBOLIC WORLD. HUMAN LIVE IN SIGNAL WORLD.

"WHEN WE WORK, WE SIGN CONTRACT TO MEET OUR NEEDS FOR LIFE. THIS IS CIVILIZATION, WE DON'T LIVE IN NATURAL WORLD, WE LIVE IN ARTIFACTS WORLD. WE HAVE BEEN DOMESTICATED TO LIVE WITH THE SYSTEM. THE SYSTEMS ARE MANMADE FROM HISTORY. WE THINK ABOUT FUTURE INCOME AND PAYMENTS."
