PolyCultural Education

Polypathic conversation with David Holmgren:

Today it is common to hear the suggestion
[polyculturally-informed] education and [compassionate communication] training
is the key to allowing people to contribute
to a more sustainable [eco-political] future.

Although I recognize the value of formal education and training
and [especially cooperatively-owned and -managed] communications media,
they are also part of the [systemic under-caste trauma] problem

[and therefore also keys to more resonantly cooperative resolutions]

preventing [LeftBrain dominant] us from a more direct [RightBrain-inductive] connection with,
and [bilateral] experience of,
the natural[-spiritual co-arising] world
through [co-passionate communicating] observation
and [bicamerally balancing] experience
[and work/play of win/win curiosity/imagination].

Much could be said about how we need to modify formal education
and the [competitively capital-hungry] media
so they can contribute better to the [polytheistic
polyamorous
polypathic] revolution,
but we need to recognize several fundamental
[Leftbrain verbally dominant thought] problems.

First,
almost all education,
and especially higher [yet not necessarily deeper] education,
is [redacted] knowledge from secondary [audio-visual] sources,
interpreted through [competing specialist] frameworks
of [limited intersectional] understanding.

Academic [exegetical LeftBrain dominant] training
that requires every idea and concept be referenced to refereed published [also LeftBrain verbally dominant] sources
is the extremity of this [conserving rather than transitioning, liberating] approach
to [reiterative memorization
of what once was normatively true
and necessarily so,
yet perhaps not exclusively or even sufficiently true
for all times and spaces and complex systems,
win+win yang/yin cobinary hypothetically tensioned with win v lose, 0-sum.]

Second,
information technology has accelerated the speed of circulation,
retrieval
and reproduction of [healthy v toxic] information
[v disinformation].
The [commercial] professional packaging
of [LeftBrain reductive] secondary experience
in [massively networked] media
promises faster and better ways
to [LeftBrain access others’] learn[ing].

For instance,
in comparison to the wildlife [ecological healthy/toxic] observation skills
and original [6-sensory-neural
sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, feel
internal positive/negative compassion/dispassion felt)
thinking.

Third,
almost all formal scientific education is based on bottom-up reductionist [STRUGGLING EITHER/OR AGAINST BothAnd] thinking
[screening out cognitive-affective dissonance,
negative unresolved non-resonant neuropsychological issues].

While the [cooperative multi]cultural harvest from specialized reductionist thinking over the last few hundred years
has been great
[and continues to accelerate],
it is the [cooperatively self-organizing] integration
and [transubstantiating] cross-fertilization of concepts
and
[feeling potential both/and win/win] ideas
that is now providing the most fruitful results
for dealing with the problems
of the environmental crisis.

Much of this [win/win bilateral co-arising] integrated [comprehension]
is happening outside [LeftBrain dominant] educational institutions
[pathology-oriented, continuing competing-issues committed
with highly competitive ecopolitical survival issues,
including upper-caste preservation].

Ironically,
information and communications technologies
are increasing these [cooperative win/win insight] possibilities,
although this benefit is over [LeftBrain dominant win-thought v lose-feeling] content,
and [redundantly tedious] replication over [re]creation;
[degenerative oppositional feedback loops
rather than cooperative self-governing
regenerative double-binding
ego/eco-appositional loops].

Fourth,
and most problematic of all,
formal education at the higher [yet not deeper] levels
is focused on digesting massive amounts of information
within the [slow-growth synergizing, incubating] constructs
of separate [and alarmingly unequal] disciplines
and cultures
(such as [Left-Yang, EitherOr] science
and [Right-Yin, BothAnd] art
[nurturing octave-scaled regenerative functions,
like 4Base fractal group/game math,
and 4Season phylogenic reproductive cycles]).

This education lacks wholistic [therapeutic] integration
with [health-wealth positive oriented] living experience
and its insights and truths often make little [trivial felt] impression
on the underlying [Right-YinFlow nurturing resonant] structures
of [comprehensive AND compassionate] understanding
and [internally felt committed] belief [with co-empathic trust]
created by [LeftBrain might makes right] family [anthropocentric-capitalist] upbringing,
mass [consuming dominating productive values] media
and popular [nationalistic eco-political Win v Lose partisan] culture.

In many fields
we find the [global co-passion] solutions
to [ecological and anthropological] problems
are known [and felt]
but are not [regeneratively] applied
for a myriad of specific [LeftBrain constipated cul-de-sac] reasons.

The core of these problems is [competing mutually mis-communicating and therefore gradually degenerating belief systems]
which people appear to [defensive either me or they win] hold
have not been [Both Me And We-vetted] integrated with
and [regeneratively-therapeutically-cooperatively] reinforced
by their [Left+Right bicameral polypathic
polyamorous polyculturing] personal experience
[of positive health cooperatives
are not negative pathological/partisan dissociative, dissonant competitions].

Note: Wiccan transubstantiation of David Holmgren’s “Permaculture Principles & Pathways”, p. 20; adding in seasonings from Edward DeBono’s bilateral thinking and Buckminster Fuller’s synergy systems theory, and, of course, layering LaoTse generally across Yang v Yin and Yang+Yin as Left-Right creative bilaterally nondual dialectical 4D appositionality. Polycultural Education as if multiculturally informed polyamorous Earth lives aiming toward WinWin preference matters if humanity’s goal is to optimize regenerative, and minimize degenerative, eco-politically healthy ecological and wealthy anthropological co-passionate communication pleasure-felt outcomes.

Good Journey

I have heard many moms repeat
“You never stop being a parent.”

Sadly, I don’t see or hear that quite so much from the dads,
although I know of remarkably nurturing exceptions.

I thought of this as my impossibly young,
yet oldest son,
nearly twenty-two,
stopped by for an early birthday present, cash,
before heading out in his car
with a fellow rap artist friend
on their way from this Atlantic coast
to that San Francisco Bay.

D.B. never drove away to college,
or flew off on a great summer excursion,
or even went off to a technical school,
nor the military.

He did try to make Job Corp fit.
But, two suicides
and one stabbing on his dorm floor
and he decided not to return
after Holiday vacation that year.

He has been the last driver of not just one,
but two, of my totaled cars.
The second crash he walked away from
was when a drunk young white male
hit him head on
in the middle of a gorgeous New England sun-bright June
afternoon
as he was coming home from his first,
and last,
out of home employment
busing tables in a casino diner.

D.B. was approaching the end of his three month probation period
when they let him go,
primarily for his ADHD challenges
with getting to work on time
with all the pieces of his uniform
clean and intact.
But, he also had trouble showing up
ready to set aside the dramas of his personal-political life,
which often feels like a race
and age
and gender profiled
and marginal
and commodified life.
It was hard to stay focused;
to be there when he was there.

Tomorrow D.B. and his friend since high school days
will see a slice of these continental States
from coast to coast and back again
for the first time.

I am ravenously happy for him.
I wish I could have given him wings,
some outrageous pile of cash.
My heart stops
when I notice how he is so vulnerable
exposed
raw
too often despairing and perhaps even terrified
more about himself
than intimidated by a hostile world closing him out.

Closing ranks
on all the ways his particular black life will not matter
in Earth’s vast history.
Not significant enough to be sure if it could become possible,
or even safe,
to love himself,
to allow himself a long and warm regard,
as I embrace him.

I don’t know if I could finish being a child
without becoming an everyday
relentlessly caring and nurturing parent.
I can think of nothing so binding both feet to Earth
yet so free flying impossible to control.

For many reasons,
whether despite or because of my single gay male identity,
I chose the second class Mommy Track
instead of going for the Ph.D.
And not just the Mommy Track;
I adopted only the older wounded kids
who would never safely drive or hold a job,
or would never talk or walk,
or would never thoroughly clean off her own poop,
or sleep through the nightmare night,
or would not feel safe outside our home,
stalking the boundaries of life while high school friends head on and out
to colleges and new friends
while he struggles to tolerate
two on-line classes each semester.

It feels good to know I am needed
but frightening to realize I cannot retire from this parenting profession
except through my own growing incapacity.

These four charges of mine
remind me we are each such a precious gift
for each other.
I have never regretted my more generous choices
rather than less magnanimous.
Not necessarily because the return on investment has always been better for my kids,
but because those were the moments standing out most clearly
in my column for Fully Living,
rather than continuing to draw out a stingy half-life,
under invested in our shared future regenerators.

I hope D.B. and friend have the time of their young lives
as I have had mine,
and even better,
even better.

It is so much easier,
and comforting,
to have old and happy memories
when we have had both young and generously happy times,
seasons,
reasons to smile
and greet each fleeting dawn.

Trees Of Our Wilderness

Trees in a mindbody forest
work together in hidden ways
and through this cooperation
increase their shared resistance to disease.

In this way,
densely polycultural forest systems
with mature synergetic resistance
co-evolve even more robust
and mutually resonant;
not might makes right
but more like right relationships merge
cooperative flowing sight.

This fertile co-intelligence
is an integral face
of diversely held resistance
to monocultural degeneration.

A glass half empty of mistrust
also half full of trusted relationships
emerging democratic health.

We used to have a bicameral legislature
that worked together in personal and public ways
but now votes more for less win/win cooperation
thereby winner v loser reducing our resistance
to mutually terrorizing environmental pathologies,
averting co-passionate choices
informed by climate resonance.

Dumb as a decaying post,
our anthropocentric swamp
behaves less co-intelligently
than a tree.

Podcast Episode: Power, Ecology, And Care

Pip: gdill52 is back, and this week the site goes from national economic policy to the neuroscience of intimacy — which, honestly, is a wider range than most cable news networks manage in a full quarter.

Mara: That's the territory we're covering today — a sharp critique of trickle-down economics, and a dense, playful meditation on polyamory and peer therapy. Let's start with the money — or more precisely, who's keeping it.

Trickle-Down Economics Critique

Pip: The central argument here is that trickle-down theory was always a promise, and the poem What Trickles Down is interested in what happens when the people promising it say the quiet part loud.

Mara: The poem sets up the contradiction directly — here's the line: "he paid so very little income taxes because it is his sacred duty to himself his family his stockholders, corporately invested infesters, to pay as little tax and operating fees as legally possible so there is more to hoard, and less and less to trickle out."

Pip: So the upshot is that the ideology and the behavior are openly in conflict — the man advocating for wealth flowing downward is describing, in his own words, a system designed to stop that flow entirely.

Mara: The poem names this directly — what was sold as economic generosity becomes, in the poem's phrase, "The Upper Caste Constipated minimal trickling out of capital hoarding." That's not a policy critique dressed up as poetry; that's the policy critique stated as plainly as it gets.

Pip: And the ending earns its disgust — the "humble caregivers opening your golden ballroom doors for tips and cleaning your several stressed toilets, where yellow and brown too slowly trickle down." The metaphor completes itself, and it does not flatter anyone.

Mara: What the poem is really doing is holding the stated theory against the revealed preference — and finding that the theory was always cover for the preference.

Pip: From tax policy to something considerably harder to summarize — the next piece asks what therapy looks like when the framework is entirely its own.

Polyamory And Peer Support

Mara: Polyamorous Peer Therapy arrives as a dialogue — one voice offering an elaborate, systems-theory-inflected vision of healing, the other gently noting they are not, in fact, into talk therapy.

Pip: The offering voice goes deep fast: "PolyAmorous Squared/Fractal cobinary remembering ontological neural landscapes reproducing therapeutic design with glial-indigenous peak communication climates of bilateral egoCrown/ecoRoot polyamorous therapy."

Mara: What this means in practice is that one speaker is building a complete cosmology — Yang, Yin, glial networks, fractal patterns, win-win game theory — and the other speaker's response is essentially: we prefer the sound of the ocean.

Pip: The gap between those two positions is where the poem lives, and it is a genuinely funny gap.

Mara: The piece ends with the elaborate-theory speaker losing their audience entirely — "Oops, I think I lost them" — and the closing exchange, "Don't talk dirty, dear. Unless you mean it," lands as the warmest possible punctuation on the whole construction.

Pip: It's a poem about connection that enacts the difficulty of connection — which is either very clever or exactly what you'd expect from something titled Polyamorous Peer Therapy.

Mara: Two very different registers — political anger and intimate comedy — but both are interested in the same question: what actually gets shared between people, and what gets held back.

Pip: Next time, we find out what else is on the site. Hopefully something about infrastructure, just for the range.

Same Old Differences

Why is it that philosophers and scientists,
politicians and even theologians
expect more bountiful outcomes
from relentlessly segregating
and disparately defining
what their passions
and great pleasures
are not?

Positive definitions
lie within
these negative defensive boundaries
of what it,
whatever “it” may be,
is not.

Religion is not science
and philosophy disregards the merely scientific
and scientific religions are an abomination
(too totalitarian, you see)
and history is none of the above,
yet speaks all of the above
about all of those below,
especially if they presented themselves
as unmitigatedly straight
purely white
exceptional men.

These traditions born of human experience
grow paradigmatic double-binding walls
to define what’s healthy in
by what’s best out.

Yet, ecology of natural/spiritual
both physical
and metaphysical
nondualistic systems
respects no oppositional boundaries
and all appositional contrasts

Where history/herstory is Earth’s organic story
unfolding co-passionate reunion,
leftbrain scientifically formed
and rightbrain religiously flowing

Remembering
reincarnating
reweaving
reconnecting
re-ligioning
nondual co-arising con-science
ecology of karmic grace
through Gaia’s climate healthy wealth

Compromised by encroaching eco-political
anthropological
and too-industrial
climate pathologies
of inhumane competing hubris.

Western religious traditions
may differ from Eastern
through telling an historically embedded tale
of universal organic empowerment
rather than timeless nondual metaphysics
of becoming sacredly enlightened
EarthTribe unitarians

Yet both are within one ecological umbrella
of passionate mind
and pleasured body
contenting and co-arising regenerativity

Climate health reversing decompositional degenerativity
as further Too AnthropoCentric Busyness
competitively hunting and devouring
far more than gathering and absorbing

Cooperative counter-balancing
draws LeftBrain scientific thought
and RightBrain religious feeling
boundaries
around what God/dess Earth
has brought nutritionally
married together.

Scientific philosophers,
and sometimes even religious theologians,
find healthier and more regenerative
passionate policies
and pleasing procedures
for refining how our ecological loves
remain great transitionally storied
indigenously cooperative pursuits
of comprehensive integrity.

Bucky Fuller and Julian Jaynes

Buckminster Fuller and Julian Jaynes
recently reviewed their cultural and scientific influence
on health and well-being,
economically ecological outcomes,
during our current NonDual Transitional Era.

Bucky:
I wish I had spent more time speaking as a Unitarian Positive Teleologist.
Perhaps that would have taken care of my diminished trends in cultural awareness
of what,
in retrospect,
was exhaustively published
but not really read or fully contemplated,
now undervalued and ignorantly ignored:

“Synergy,”
everything I ever published about the topic of “synergy,”
geometrically and spiritually defining integrity,
in Western cultures,
sacredly and organically refining compassion,
in nondualistic Eastern traditions.
The encoded regenerative fractal structure of Physical Universal Intelligence
follows DNA/RNA thermodynamic,
electromagnetic,
permacultural,
economic,
psychological and sociological and political,
and ecological Prime Yang/Yin Relationship balance;

and evolutionary dynamics are fractal-dipolar revolving
harmonic Convex-Exterior-Yang OVER Concave-Interior-Yin
(0)-Core Vector Rooted octaves
with branching tree structures

Running into Lin Yutang and Taoism before I published,
I could have connected Yang metaphysical perspectives
with Convex-Exterior physical principles,
and Yin metaphysics with Concave-Interior physical feelings
of bicameral neurosystemic flow
double-binding both LeftYang
andRightYin
dipolar nondual consciousness.

Julian:
Yes,
I can see that same sense of ethological
and ecological
and teleological dynamic
emergent awareness embracing LeftBrain’s evolution
speaking out from multigenerational RNA
regenerative intelligence
of RightBrain affective memory.

My neural theory of nonverbal nondualistic RghtBrain
underlying newer verbal LeftBrain information processing,
anthropological learning development,
seems to support your equivalency
between ethotic “synergy”
and subconscious erotic polyamorous integrity

And positive neuropsychological eco-politics
rooted in co-empathic bicameral trust

As well as Gregori Perelman’s fractal prime work,
and William Thurston’s dialectical too,
in fractal-prime Group Theory,
and I wonder if there isn’t something in there that pertains to the ecologistics
and statistical/strategic win/win predictions
of CoBinary Game Theory

Using reverse-hierarchy Win+Win assumptions.
You know,
so no one id-entity can optimally win
until the severed links in our great chain of interdependence
achieves equivalent body/mind
pleasure/passion
eros/ethos
felt/thought polyamorous values?

Bucky:
Absolutely.
Synergy and love retain universal multicultural integrity,
polycultural resilience,
harmony between Left-languaged deductive memory
and Right-nonverbal inductively felt codex
of positive v. negative feeling
experiential, yet multigenerational, awareness,
like what Polanyi calls “Personal Knowledge.”

Julian:
So synergy and love and confluence
are neurologically acclimated to messages
that do not cause cognitive dissonance,
disease,
dismay,
lack of equivalent appositional balance
and dipolar rhapsody.

Compassionate bicameral mindfulness
restores ego/eco-comprehensive connection
optimized through balancing Left-brained Yang
and Right-brained Yin
ego/eco functions.

Bucky:
Yes, I wish the Clay Math Challenge folks could have recognized
and celebrated
that Synergetics is really all about Polynomial v. Not-Polynomial information
lack of bicameral integrity v. not not binomial problem
of nondualistic ambiguity

Just as Thomas Kuhn’s work
in deductive cultural creolizing revolutions
became troubled with the Problem of Incommensurability.

If +Polynomial information
does not equal rational and sustainable Universal Optimized Intelligence,
then positive does not not equal a double-binding negative
dipolar appositional
cobinary binomial value.

(-)(-)Reverse-Polynomial
RightBrain dialectically felt resonant syntax
evolved from eco-systemic
prime cobinary
felt comparative relationships
between positive health
and negative pathology.

Yet when disrupted,
discontinuous dissonant degenerative closed-set system
dark devolutionary assumptions
become monoculturally normed.
These anthropocentric inside-knowledge v polycultural outside-evidence
unresolved tensions contribute to systemic trauma,
polynomial-population depression

Autistic distressed development in populations that feel over-crowded
and competitively over-Yanged aggressive
under-Yin peaceful

Anxious post-pandemic dismay,
too abundant
climate change exclaiming self-correction urgency
in storms
flooding
fires
drought
anthropocentric wars
death,
lacking CommonSense
of bicameral +P-Yang = -(-Yin)
appositional dipolar
co-arising equivalent synergy

Julian:
You want to bet on how long it takes the scientific
and religious
and competing public sectors
to recognize
that binary/bilateral information systems
of fractal-strength and octave-flow function
reproducing GroupFour Bayesian regenerative systems?

Bucky:
Well, sure.
But I always bet on Here-Yang = Now-Yin,
to cooperatively optimize Universal Intelligence
of bicameral co-empathic
nondualistic bi-hemispheric comprehension,
thought and felt cooperatively win/win
together.

Julian:
Yes, and you are also the Plan B guy
feeding Transition Generation permaculturing bicameral brains
focusing on the Cloud

AI inevitably asking,
“Bucky who?”
and what is a Julian Jaynes?
Was that some kind of an orange drink?

Bucky:
That is so not not polytheistic
and not not polynomial
Left/Right

Explicate/Implicate-Tacit (Bohm-Polanyi)

Mean Economists

This course will encourage aspiring cooperative economists
to distinguish between mean national incomes
and global median incomes,
with diverse long-term capital growth v evaporation trends
expected.

First,
imagine USA mean income, including investment income,
could approach $500,000 for two-parent working households
per year.

Are you kidding me?
Where do you come up with those numbers?
And that many full-time working two-parent households?

Out of my mean Republican National Party imagination.
If you imagine
as many households with earned and investment income
of $1,000,000 per year
as there are destitute households
with $0 earned/investment income,
and the remainder of us lie
evenly along straight
or even symmetrical bell-curved lines
between $0 and $1,000,000,
then USA mean annual household income
could be imagined as $500,000 per two-parent household.

Well, maybe…OK,
for the sake of this thought experiment.
So what does that have to do with the price of carrots?

Cost of healthy living,
with or without carrots,
is more of a Democratic National Party concern
where we turn to how trickle-down capital acquisition and flow,
including reinvesting and relocating in cheaper labor-saving areas,
more pressingly influence median income,
as before and after compared
to more mean-spirited averaging
US two-parent income.

In other words,
when Republicans imagine which economic policies
are within their realm of self interest,
they imagine themselves at least average,
or above, even better,
so when candidates promise lower taxes
and deregulating fees
for business and farm and patriotic industries
of all good two-heterosexual parent families,
Republican voters imagine such candidates
speak also of and for them
because they see their incoming as at least potentially
within divinely blessed sight of this average earned
and investment returned
income,
defensively,
and by entitled right,
above all those unwashed immigrant indigent
beneath mean Others.

But,
the Democratic National Party,
in its most globally liberating green best center,
speaks not of mean economic incomes,
but of the growing v decreasing distance
between USA domestic resources
and shrinking median global natural
and capital resources.

Median.
That’s the most popular number, right?
Like if more households bring in $30,000 per year,
than $29,000 or below
or $31,000 or above,
on a scale from $0 to increasingly astronomical,
then the median would remain $30,000.
But, the average could be lower or higher,
depending on whether there are greater positive deviations from the median
or more disintegrating deviations
down toward zero-sum,
you lose everything,
go directly to jail,
do not even think about passing through Go again.

Yes.
So if you are a median democratic global economist
you are noticing
as the number of billionaires goes up,
the gap between average income and median income grows
in an alarmingly unhealthy direction,
the opposite of erection,
or even win/win sustainable
fair market transaction.

If this growing great transitional divide
between our really big winners
and our truly transient and hopelessly non-transcendent
is trending in this politically depressing uneven direction,
why is that?

Because competition-rooted Win v Lose zero-sum Capitalism
follows successful colonization of capital resources
to breed further disproportionate domestic acquisition
of capital reserves.

Cooperative-owned and matriculating
trickle down and out
to equilaterally trickle up and in
to re-trickle down and out
requires a bilateral Win+Win resilient
self and other equivalent regenerative balance
co-empathic intention

More typical of a matriarchal
mentoring
nutritional cooperative political economy
than a patriarchal mean economist
wanna-be a monopolist’s market
mutually free to monoculturally overpower
the uncompetitive
limited personal resources
player.

Well I was taught
if you don’t want to share your toys
you should never have brought them into the sandbox.

That sounds like inclusive median
win+win populist enculturation.
I was taught
if somebody borrows your toys
without asking first,
hit back.
More of a sandbox mean-bully
upper-caste preserving
socialization.

Imagine how this capitalist sandbox must look
to a hungry and thirsty adolescent survivor
failing to thrive
in one of Earth’s growing climate-trauma storms,
watching further declining median health
unfold across hopeless skies
and swelling tsunamic oceans.

I am win v lose disgusted
by this Mean Economics 404
business administration course.

Yes, but it sounds more hopeful
as win+win contrasted
with Cooperative Median Economics 101.

What Trickles Down

Those of us living in the USA
too often hear Republican capitalist dogma
of The Great Trickle Down Theory,
in which those who have most
must get more first
so they can hire more who have least,
although perhaps without proficient wage
and without health care if avoidable,
to spread capitalizing wealth around
so we can become better day and night spenders
on all the thneeds and trinkets offered
in exchange for our consuming lives.

And so it was with raised eyebrows
I heard Donald Trump explain
to us unwashed and un-self-insuring masses,
that he paid so very little income taxes
because it is his sacred duty
to himself
his family
his stockholders,
corporately invested infesters,
to pay as little tax and operating fees as legally possible
so there is more to hoard,
and less and less to trickle out.

So, I guess this carries some tension
with Trickle Down,
becoming, more accurately,
The Upper Caste Constipated
minimal trickling out
of capital hoarding.

But, just in case you are listening, Donald,
which I know you are not,
but maybe some more responsible Republican employer,
I am quite sure that Wharton never spoke this lie
that you have any legal, much less moral, obligation
to retain as much wealth as possible
to re-invest in further corporate greed
to act as little trickling out as possible
while speaking in loud nationalistic patriotic
Trickle Down and Out!
to all us little people,
someday

Preferably after this year’s self-congratulatory pay out,
made possible by all us humble caregivers
opening your golden ballroom doors for tips
and cleaning your several stressed toilets,
where yellow and brown
too slowly trickle down.

When DayDreams Prevent NightMares

Who would argue
about which came first,
intelligent compositional design,
or a decomposing natural Earth?

No one.
To do so is too patently absurd,
when we choose to see these two
not only as oppositional cause-effect,
but also as appositional
dipolar co-arising balance
of resilient resonant information,
composing and recomposing
tacitly implied within decomposing energetic balance.

The very idea that either regenerating natural purpose
or degenerating spiritual meaning
could originally, foundationally, come one before the other,
like belonging before longing,
day before night,

Mind wants before body needs,
contentment before contextualization
appears before feeling anti-ecological

Like choosing Win v Lose degenerative stasis
without Win+Win regenerative integrity
co-arising further multi-generational co-intelligence

Of daydream democratic rights
and nightmare autocratic wrongs.

Lady Liberty’s Musical Comedy

A beautiful,
radiantly pregnant,
lady liberty
swings back and forth across this Left to Right predominating stage
of political history.

As she recesses toward Left stage climax
she recedes from LeftBrain audience’s co-evolving view
for one ecstatic, yet intellectually ambiguous, moment
sweeping a revolutionary change
away from monocultural history,
to re-emerge in royal blue skirt of virginal regenesis
and full-breasted naked multigenerational torso
laughing with us
at how hilarious this bicamerally polytultural opera
has resolved ultra-violating dissonance
and nuclear divisive fears
of nature-spirit fertile fusions.

This pregnant lady sings
in full-octave resonance
with us
as we become HerStorically ReStaged,
degenerating unwoken hypnotic LeftBrain trance
to once again regeneratively engage
nondual co-empathic stage presence

Swirling swings of spiraling inside/outside
mind/embodied-consciousness,
as day invites dream
dawning yet another radiant
singing,
liturgically dancing
Gaian evensong.

We’re not even theoretically together
until this humane Lady Liberty sings
co-operatively with us,
globally togathering,
consuming and producing full-octave resonant resolutions,
resolving swinging spirals
Left to Right to regenerate Left again
toward Crown/Root
Sage/Muse eco-dominantly resonant circles
away from YangLeft dominating over YinRight.

YinRight inductions reconnecting
religioning toward more transparently empowering operas,
replacing patriarchal economic terrorism
with matriarch/patriarch musical-comedy
agapic feelings leading erotic thoughts

Cooperatively owned economics
with bipartisan co-governing politics,
no longer waiting to conjoin
this synergetic singing
pregnant Gaia’s
laughing full-term compassions.
