Optimizing Healthy Investments

If we were to follow a health model
for optimizing both economic and ecological wealth outcomes,
then investment in public and private
compassionate communication educational systems
for active ecotherapeutic practice
and developing cooperative, self-regulating systems,
would become our primary fiscal investment

While surgical and ballistic revenge
against past overly competitive pathologies
would become a more secondary retaliatory Win v Lose
0-sum defensive strategy,
reserved for proportional disinvestment
from further nationalistic and paternalistic sickness.

So, we might have a slow-growing Educational Defense Department
with a big multicultural peace-mentoring curriculum
and proportionally appropriate re-investment priorities
for growing active peace inside
and outside.

And, a more slow-shrinking Military Police Surgical Department,
with a much smaller multicultural re-education agenda
for WinMind+WinBody ecosystemic strategies
for evolving long-term cooperative resonance
to re-establish peaceful needs with justice wants
self-regulating within
as graciously extending our global family
through further revolutions of resilient networks.

Two seminal Biblical teachings seem relevant
to this health and prosperity model.
Those who live by ballistic Win v Lose swords,
shall die by the sword,
alone.
Yet, those who live by active communal co-redemptive love,
shall die in love,
as One Interdependent MindWant+BodyNeed
together.

If our personal and political therapeutic love-lives
are a two-edged sword,
all of regenerative history
and degenerating past monocultures
conjoin to teach us compassionate health-regulated education
best remains our Yang front regenerate edge,
leaving competitive Win v Lose military divestment priorities
to a more secondary defensive strategy
for remedially,
surgically,
proportionally,
reverse-hierarchically protecting freedom and democracy and trust and love,
internal and external,
where cooperative economic and ecological climate balance
requires us all to sustain short-term narcissistic loss
within EarthTribe’s organic health and sacred prosperity,
eco-regenerating intention.

When peace education and public cooperative-ownership
and co-empathic governing
cultural praxis,
multicultural interdependence
of nurturing voices and nutritional sources,
catchment and re-investment,
indigenous wisdom of compassion
no longer lead our personal and public investment priorities

Then competitively dying by a Win v Lose sword
will lead our way to further climates of hubris,
ego v eco unbalance,
caste supremacism,
anthropocentrism

Rather than caring for Earth,
gathering EarthTribes,
regenerating cooperative relations with Others
to optimize our health wealth educated
co-empathic Selves.

Abolishing War by Preserving Peace

Said the caste abolitionist
to the preservationist

What Earth needs outside
we both feel inside

What people want inside
fills and spills outside

Following polycultural
polypathic
polyamorous
polytheistic Golden Rules
Ways
Means
Golden Ratios.

Caste abolition,
like anthropocentric constraint,
and unlike narcissistic complaint,
engages transformative potential
to recreate an organic civilization
in which every sacred body
has what is needed
and every polyamorous mind
has what is wanted.

Every neurological system
well-trained
and peace-making empowered
to recognize
and responsibly self-correct
any dissociative dissonant differences
between body needs
for kind touch
and mind wants
for compassionate communication.

Roots and Eggs

Trees and seeds
like embryonic eggs
are each fed by root systems
intending dialectical maturation,
like Easter lillies,
and seasonal, more dormant, decomposing purgation,
heading toward further cooperative re-investments
or waste
depending on our choices
and way of seeing,
more competitive or more cooperative.

The seed of human nature’s nutritional system
are the trees of Earth’s natural root systems,
ergodic and phylogenic,
designed for ecopolitical cooperation
more than ego-individual,
or ethno-tribal-creedal,
or anthro-super-narcissistic
monoculturing competitions.

Trees and seeds
and new-life eggs
are each fed by history’s more cooperatively-owned
and governing
root nutritional systems.

Integrity’s Boundaries

What if we were lusty song,
sacred litany?

What if…
What if we were sensual dance,
grace filled choreography?

What if we were organic energy?
Naked branched and rooted trees
joining navels
from native mother wombs
to nurture Mother seeds
down through speciating generations
up for regeneration.

What if we became trusted time
for reorganizing space?
Irreplaceable humored climates
recreating sacredly organic humidity.

I am not your sad place
and not gladly mine
with responsibility to displace
or authority to replace.
I am not my fading face.

We are designed to fall apart,
even with unlikely careful wear.
So what is this time
of my planned obsolescence?

No refuge from surrender
to daily worn-out deaths.
Not yet refused to rise this day
ready for each dusk
without anticipation
for love or lust
rain or dust
win or bust.
It’s just us
wearing down the best we can.

What if…
What if we were each a song
resonating one pure measure
of integrity’s longest line dance?

What if we were timeless energy
resonating freestyle
mind embodiedness?

Democratic Health Party

I just read that U.S. Democrats stand in solidarity
against Trump,
but what else?
What is democracy for?

First,
democracy, rather than republican plutocracy,
here confuses collaboration against our competitive opponents
with solidarity,
which must be for both ourselves and our appositional tensions.

Second,
democracy trusts empathy
rather than mistrusting antipathy
much less active distrusting pathology
so democracy stands in solidarity
with polypathic regenerativity,
with wealth optimization as health maximization.

So,
please,
if our parties and cooperatively-owned
and managed
and cared for
healthy workplaces
wear the label of “we are pro-democracy”
then rest assured that being for healthy polycultural evolution
and against degenerative monoculturing competitions
is a humanitarian platform
not limited to gathering votes from 50% of the humane-natural population,
but capable of drawing every vote
from every mind and body of age
to become pro-health for all Earth’s species,
including this less upper-caste privileged variety
of democratically polyamorous party animal.

Tragic Climates For Comedians

If we invested more educational mentoring time
sharing our own mixed-use
and neglectful abuse
poetic wisdom stories,
and less time rehearsing orthodox LeftBrain histories,
we might more cooperatively learn
to live healthier together
and to internally die less, apart.

An under-exploited difference between comedy and tragedy
may discover you want your story to resonantly share
more than recover from some dogma you compulsively need
to competitively seed and repeat

Comedians are less sure their audience
is too dim to fully appreciate
our authentic integrity,
transparent glory
and ungodly gory.

Humus is a profound icon of eco-ministering
toward regenerative fertility of soils
Just as humor is a surprising polyculturing pattern
of ego re-submersion
toward contagious extension of polyamory,
eco-political empathy,
universal inductive trust
more powerful than tragically dominant mistrust.

It seems climatically important,
and chronically profound,
for educators and politicians
and other public/private health v pathology experts
to experience the primary audience for poetry is poets,
for philosophy, other philosophers,
for math, other mathematicians,
for scientific and investment specialists, other insider specialists,
yet for good-humored economics, everyone
of all species
invite regenerations of time’s health-wealth potential.

This feels like both an Earth Day vision risk
and a post-therapeutic climate opportunity.

Poetry and philosophy are written,
and most broadly distributed,
produced,
networked,
cooperatively-reinvested,
with other non-elite poetic and metaphysical souls in mind,
some with poetic and wisdom-loving skill-sets themselves,
and some who remain hungrily unfulfilled
yet sublimely belonging souls.

Many of these hungry,
more chronically stressed,
RightBrain dominantly repressed
humor-feeling casualties
are among our unhoused,
our uncounted unemployed and under-valued vocationed,
our tragic brothers and comic sisters,
our children,
with more mental pathologies
than spiritual health.

How could we hope to teach,
much less mentor,
co-redeem,
healthy science and wealthy mathematics,
reading and multiculturally engaging writing,
by removing their historical roots
in personal poetry and philosophical experience
and polyamorous
non(0)-sum bountiful
contagious comedy
emerging from optimally regenerative WinWin
polypathic ego+eco therapies?

It feels ecopolitically
and intellectually dishonest
to further subsidize the dystopian assumption of Might Makes Right
EitherWin/OrLose capitalist theories
when Earth’s multicultural evidence
for Right non(0)-Sum BiLateral Flow-Felt Communion
building co-invested nutritional wealth
evolves and revolves so regeneratively redundant
and reiterative
and abundantly obvious BothLeftYang tragic
AndRightYin comedic
does not 0-sum equal
Yang-tragic thoughts v Yin-comedic feelings.

Our tragedy is not just that patriarchal competition culture
is anthropocentrically overpopulating
the FirstWorld supremacist face of Earth,
although that is a profound climate health issue

Climates of struggling health
and unfulfilled landscapes of potential wealth
are seminally rooted
in LeftBrain cultural dominance
currently in last historical gasp
of over-populating each of our capitalist monotheistic days
to the point of extinguishing therapeutic values of more cooperative nights
and reproductive rights,
with or without full moon compassion

But under a sea of passionate stars
now fading from curious view
and multi-pleasured reweaving memory.

If we invested more time
sharing our own tragic-comedic
longing-belonging
deadly-lovely wisdom stories,
and less time memorizing 0-sum win v lose
LeftBrain pathologies,
we might more cooperatively learn to live healthier,
with good humor, together
and to internally die less tragically, apart.

Sacred Time Travel

My body restrains my mind.
Logic as ecologically constrained,
naturally rational,
like rain does not fall up
unless I am standing on my head.

Embodiment also limits my mind.
Imagination often resists such sparse powers,
yet thrives on simplicity
without devious duplicity.

I can imagine pleasure of mind
capable of visiting China for an hour one day
and one night,
a particular coastal town,
a particular family,
a particular other body
looking back at me
imagining how he would look and sound
to someone like me
from a coastal town in the U.S.
And then my mind’s eyes become his,
looking out at his loved ones
and actively distrusted ones
and his vistas and landscapes and climate smells
and hopes and fears.

Then the tip of South Africa
in the next hour,
then visiting both Syria and Korea
five hundred years ago
to explore constancy and change
in how we look and sound,
smell and taste,
how we feel trusting and mistrusting
and how we might feel about my ego-mind
left disembodied behind

Then visit again five hundred years from now
to notice in this same variety of ego-
and eco-
conscious passion ways.

In all these disembodied images
my frequent flyer
yet frugal ego remains
relentlessly enclosed
by limitations of my own body’s discontinuous memory
of ego-eco recentering mind,
favoring transparent fluidity of confluence,
aesthetics of peace
contagious passions
pleasure in symmetry
full-color harmony

Therapeutic integrity of time travel
resonantly trusting in
and dissonantly mistrusting out
momentarily before breathing back in
with equanimity.

Becoming extended out through Earth organic
space and time,
only and finally to come back to rest
within polyculturally edified
yet eco-politically simplified
reconnecting presence
of still ego/eco centering me

Hoping you will love how I look and sound,
smell and taste,
feel and empathically trust
at least as much as my mind can
comprehensively engage phylogenic connection

We human natures each and all meta-morphically breathe in,
evolutionarily extend out
to transcend mere ego images,
befriending frugal flow of trusting EarthTribes
past history
and future mystery.

My body restrains
and trains my mind
as anthropocentric evolution constrains
organic Earth’s co-empathic ethology,
as Earth ethotic landscapes
retrain out
restrain in
sacred climates of compassion.

The Only Way To Go

When I was a new seminarian
I had a favorite parish priest mentor
who told me the best way to die
is while having an orgasm.

I wasn’t sure if I could ask
why he was so exclamatory sure
of his nakedly compromising position.
I did not really know him all that well,
although he seemed to be a swell up kind of Father.

Perhaps I looked a bit nervous
because he hastened to reassure me
the reason he is enamored of orgasms,
of peak experiences,
is because they transcend our cognitive dualities
in-between polyamorous Eros
and polytheistic Agape.

Orgasms are ecstatic climatic events,
warm full-bodied memories
of mindbody interdependence,
of holistic cooperative economic enlightenment
and political empowerment within
every organ and cell,
muscle and happy little ego-subsystem
groaning out this profoundly universal Yes!
with both LeftBrain audio-visual ethos compassion
and RightBrain universally uniting
neurosensory climate of eros pleasure.

I didn’t know what to say to this bicameral-sexual therapy.
But, if this is an option for how to die,
it does sound like the only ecstatic one I have ever heard.

So I said that.
And then my mentor suggested I go home
and practice
living that same way.

Interesting,
how orgasms struggle through rhapsodic space
while dying struggles against too-fast insufficient time.
