Patching up enslaving self-hatred is sure to leave some hated aftermath.
How can this be regarded as tolerable,
these interior human natured self-hatred transgenerational aftershocks?
Therefore Wisdom holds the Yang as EgoLoser paradoxical space,
And does not dispossess guilt toward any EcoWinners.
Virtue, like indentured servitude, is for co-redemptive patching up;
Violence of enslaving hatred is for assigning EgoLoser guilt.
But, the way of wisdom is partial toward inclusive EcoWinners;
Siding only with co-redemptive losers dispossessing
enslavement,
obsession with possession,
cancerous wealth of entitled AnthroCentrism
and fear of death as loss.

Knock Knock.

Who’s there?

Poly.

Oh, well, first, ummm…Poli whom?
And, second, are you sure you intend to knock
on my front door?

First, PolyPathology.
Second, does that sufficiently answer your question?

No, not really Poli Pathology, could be most anyone I’ve ever met;
this really doesn’t help me figure out who you are
knocking on my door
in this moment of Time’s grace-filling eternity.

So why don’t you open your door
to answer your own fearful questions
about my Pathology identity?

Because anyone I would welcome into my life
would never knock first.

What does that say about your identity?
Who are you,
a 24-7 pit stop
only open for those who share your key to Paradise
with you?

That doesn’t sound quite right,
but perhaps not wrong either.

Well then it sounds like we are a good fit.
I’m PolyPathology,
not quite right or wrong
for your passive-aggressive locked door
Win-Lose poli-logistical strategy.

Wait a minute,
I didn’t say I’m passive aggressive,
and everybody I know locks their door
to win some safety from pathologists.

But you do say you are passive-aggressive
in your habitual practice of reminding those around you
of what you did not say or do.
You have less empathy for enslaved pathologists
than fear of being and becoming one yourself.
Don’t worry so much about it,
all us disease-addicts already know you’re a pathologist too
and we will feel comforted by learning
that you finally recognize you are one of us,
and we need each other,
at least as much as we want each other,
too often more.

It’s OK,
really.
You hope that hanging onto that one last key
to your sacred eco-evolving identity
in your pocket
means you’re not a total pathology addict.
It does.
OK?
No one intends to dispute that,
at least no one you are ever likely to meet
to know and learn to love,
as long as you totally invest in that first creation-story key
as if it were your last key of polyculturing opportunity.

Patching up a great self-hatred
is sure to leave some fear and anger outside
and behind,
downstream for future struggling memories
dreams
and regenerations.

“Traditional [creation story] enlightenment teachings call on us to transcend ego through shifting our deepest sense of identity to the [Eco]Self Absolute that abides in and as the ground of Being. The foundation of Evolutionary Enlightenment is that same [PoliCultural Light/Time Paradise] ground that is the final resting place and goal of traditional enlightenment.” Andrew Cohen, “Evolutionary Enlightenment” (p. 64)
