Seminal Enlightenment

When I was in an interfaith seminary
I noticed three models
for understanding a faith community’s purpose
in a democratic and diverse society.

  1. Conservation of SelfRighteous Anger

To compete with,
and thereby degenerate the powers of,
sin and evil and ignorance
in a monoculturally untrustable
hedonistic
degenerating society
destined for just rewards
of hellfire and damnation
because untrustworthy
and untruthfully obscuring privileged
eco-political capitalist patriarchalism.

  1. Liberating from EgoCentered Fear

To rescue us individual sinners,
benighted Earth defilers,
from our capitalist-patriarchal
competitive
oppressive
suppressive anti-feminist
homophobic
racist
ageist anthropocentrism;

To redeem our hopelessly negative
deviant bad health choices,
monoculturing,
left-brain dominantly encultured
verbal miscommunications,
disunions,
despairing experience of eternal apartheid,
loneliness,
unease and disease.

  1. Empowering win-ego/win-eco CoMessiahs
    To cooperatively enlighten each Other
    to grow in compassion
    and non-violent integrity of communication,
    internal communion experience
    and external harmonic community
    for active eco-political hope,
    cooperatively empowering faith,
    deep learning multicultural love.

When I went to Public Administration graduate school,
I, thereby,
noticed three models
for understanding a democratic constitution’s purpose
in a healthy society.

  1. Red Anger Management
  2. Blue/Green Repurposing Win/Lose Fears
  3. Ultra NonViolet
    Whole EarthPeace
    Open ZeroZone
    Win/Win EgoEco-Systemic
    BiCameral CoOperative Empowerment

Losses and Gains

I asked the Christian evangelical
proudly wearing his Make America Great Again
red golfing cap:

What day to day spiritual experience
of grace
health
humane relationships
rich in joy
well-being
regenerativity
integrity
would you lose
if God the Father of omnipotent Love

Turns out to also be
Earth,
the Mother of Holy
Holonic
Holistic GreenPeace Spirit?

As Eden on restored Earth
predicted
and iconic redemption
experienced
by Jesus of Nazareth’s fertile
multicultural Kingdom already at hand
during and after baptism
by immersion
in a sluggish,
yet still flowing,
still nurturing,
still communing Jordan River
of active hope
in faith,
for omnipotent energetic love.

I’m still waiting for his answer
about what he would thereby lose.

Although I suspect it might have something to do with loss
of egocentric confidence
in StraightWhiteMale
LeftBrain-dominant
privileged miseducation
segregation
individualized competitions
for earning salvation

From fear of ego’s mortal eternal suffering,
where fear of lonely timeless Hell
of painful neuropsychological isolation
outdistances communion
for eternal multicultural inclusion,
regenerative social and cultural health potential
already at hand,

Cooperative,
democratic
eco-political
restoring justice to green peace climates
of nonviolence
for WholeEarth global interfaith cultures,

Including secular/sacred
dialogical
dipolar
depolarizing integrity.

When I asked him
what he might gain
from Earth EcoFeminist Gaian principles
of synergetic health compassion,
he was equally silent

But, I saw a glimmer
turn to gleam
restoring internal sense of saint and sinner solidarity
with eternal longings to return
to ecosystemic opulence

To eco-politically reweave,
to globally restore,
to resume,
to make Earth’s healthiest nutritional wealth
great nonviolent communication
and ecology
and theology
again.

Healthy Democracy Candidates for 20/20

Skills for best qualified candidates
for healthy democratic leadership
on my Ultra-NonViolent
WinEgo/WinEco-bicameral short list
for 20/20 revisioning

During a global climate challenge
and multiculturally-felt crisis
of left-hemisphere risk
of further red dominance
and right-hemisphere opportunity
of integral blue/green Earth-health potential:

  1. Commitment to,
    and demonstrated experience with,
    blending and harmonizing win/win dialogue
    within a resonant multicultural collective
    of interdependently co-refining
    resident-designed cooperative
    economic and politically co-empowering
    projects

e.g. Integral Permaculture Designed bioregional therapy
to make local-acting/global-feeling communities
healthy again

  1. Rhetorical record demonstrates consistent focus
    on health and safety
    of all living creatures
    as one integrated
    cooperative
    eco-political system
    designed for natural/spiritual
    yang/yin
    secular/sacred
    left/right
    west/east
    north/south
    separatistic/interdependent
    either/or thinking and both/and feeling
    bipolar dominant and dipolar recessive
    bilaterally holistic resilience.

e.g. MultiFaith Mediator
following ecological/theological systemically integral principles
for secular/sacred
capital/emotional
deductive/inductive co-investments
to expand ego/eco-systemic NonViolet Communion
creolization multiculturing circles
for one united local/global economy
of cooperative,
universally democratic,
co-empowerment.

  1. Mature adult experience
    using human LeftEmbodied
    RightMind tools
    for compassionate resonance,
    through nonviolent communication
    and positive faith philosophy,
    verbal and non-verbal,
    thought and felt,
    personal and interpersonal,
    local and global
    levels of organic organization.

e.g. Multicultural Mediation experience
of a critical public health issue
looking for co-investment solutions
to remediate pathological climate degeneration.

  1. Demonstrated capacity
    to clearly articulate
    personal ego-development
    as a sensory/sexual healthy holonic part
    of a planetary,
    eco-systemically We-conscious,
    natural/spiritual nondualistic Golden Rule
    democratically applied
    within our Whole OpenEarth System

e.g. Public Administration experience
with composing global cooperative economic network maps
and/or labor and tool exchange transactions
for enhancing and extending holistic health/wealth ecosystems.

  1. Ability to produce
    a coherent public and climate health platform
    for bicameral revolutionary green peace networking
    modeled after well-established
    Deep Learning ecological/theological
    polycultural health paradigms,
    environmental and neuropsychological sciences,
    and/or aesthetic metaphoric nature/spirit
    metaphysical relationships

e.g. Restorative justice reforms for remediation
to normatively replace retributive injustice deformities
producing politically toxic criminalization
and economic marginalization
and socio-cultural
multigenerationally systemic degeneration
decapitalization
decrepitude
and not so much positive
active faith in humane-divine
attitude,
much less healthy eco-political candidates

  1. Resonantly speaks and acts
    cooperatively
    for ego-minimalist choices
    and eco-passionate
    fully co-invested
    living healthy EarthWealth

e.g. Advanced training and experience
with non-violent communications,
philosophies
ecologically regenerative theology
with greatest health-sustaining secular effects
through least wealth of compassion’s sacred loss.

Revolutionary 20/20 Power Spirals

Revolution is to ReEnergizing Spirals
as Evolution is to EnergyWaves
for those with 20/20 revisioning skills.

Tibet’s Buddhist teachings
include a bicameral conscious practice
called Tonglen,
which might summarily be described,
by a systemic win/win GroupGame Organizer,
as breathing in
with competitive win/lose leftbrain dominant
privileged awareness
AND breathing out
with cooperative win/win rightbrain prominent
integral BothLeft/AndRight co-empathic
information/exflowation wave-linear spirals.

For a multicultural mediator
of diminishing community negative debate energy
AND expanding positive dialogue synergy,
Tonglen practice quickly identifies
the mediator’s own empathic bias,

Usually for the “underdog,”
the most vulnerable,
most at unhealthy risk,
the smaller minority of marginalized yin roles
over the larger majority of established,
more privileged,
more empowered,
more competitively invested,
Yang corporate trolls.

However,
this seems to reverse
in the case of an economically
and politically
conservative narcissist.

For example,
Trump activists
are comfortable with bullying
already marginalized populations
because of their apparent past sins
and impoverishing
threatening fearful failures,

Not because the monocultural narcissist knows,
and has experience empathizing with,
these yin-Outsiders
as feeling/thinking compatriots,
potential economic and political allies,
within a healthy multiculturally inclusive democracy,

But because this privileged
individualized
alien-bullying narcissist
is defensively,
conservatively invested in saving ego-face

As one of the great self-empowered
bootstrap enlightened egos
of win/lose capitalism’s patriarchal
competitively hierarchical
StraightWhite
leftbrain privileged historic enculturation,
dogmatic capitalist education,
retributive social humiliation,

Which assumes competitive debates
overpoweringly trump win/win cooperative dialogue
between individualized
polarized sectors,

Too independently perceived and heard,
ego-centered identities

AND too protective and defensive
of orthodox win/lose evolutionary dogmas
rooted in technocratic capitalistic incorporations
of economic power
to even suspect
concomitant politically privileged dark Yang
overdog-manic energy.

Darkly competitive Yang supremacy
seems to become overdog preference
by egocentric individuals
more culturally miseducated
to not see and hear 20/20 deep learned

Cooperative Yang/Yin
Left/Right,
secular either/or bipolar thinking

A Healthier Patriotism

My own patriotic U.S. extended family,
historically,
and currently
remains StraightWhiteMale privileged
in our collective memories,
if not imaginations,
of spiritual communion
with all the more privileged saints
present,
past,
and future

But, we have also suffered
from rather too much faith in capitalism,
which, like democracy,
is frequently faulted as miserable,
but also lauded as better
than all the socialistic
communistic
devilistic
totalitarian
fascist
foreign
threatening
terrifying
anger-inducing alternatives.

Capitalism of our encultured
multigenerational minds
with left-hemisphere dominant brains
favoring natural secularized competitions
between saints and sinners
of diversely threatening monocultural privilege,
persuasions fundamentally supremacist
for democracy in theory
so long as not in perceived conflict
with self-serving capitalism in daily personal practice,
natural and spiritual,
secular and sacred,
ecological and theological.

We are egocentric
sometimes narcissistic
always bootstrap individualistic
evangelical redemption ecopoliticals
but focused on BadNews
of our need to invest in violent self-defense
against Marxist communism out there
in Hell

Not to be confused with commitment to GoodNews
of sacred divine communion
within our privileged StraightWhiteMale places
of apartheid worship
in awe and wonder
dogmatically committed to our StraightWhiteMale God

Made military-industrialized
in our best capitalistic,
not really quite so democratic paternalistic
image of left-hemisphere
StraightWhiteMale rightfully empowered
historical/cultural dominance.

So, there we have it,
this chaotic bilateral dissonance
between our powers of political democratic enlightenment
through whole open-systemic dialogue,
and our confusion about economic uncooperative self-empowerment
at the necessary (either/or thinking) cost of Other disempowerment,
gone sadly win/lose awry
through endless polarizing debate assumptions

That if someone wins,
then all others playing our eco-political game
must lose,
which sounds very much like
survival of the fittest
rightest
left-brain dominant species
OVER AGAINST
Earth’s whole open system
green/blue
ecological/theological success.

Like our dominant left-hemisphere academic theory
of secularized win/lose evolution
is more anthropocentrically capital-headed
and self-righteously defensively effective
than Earth’s sacred WINblue/WINgreen
ego/eco-politics
of polypathic political dialogue
empowering through GoldenRule democratic resilience,

And right hemisphere
polyphonic economic enlightenment
co-invested through Golden Octave Ratios
in interdependent multicultural dialogue,

Holonic nonzero sum,
polynomially left GroupTheory
and polyvagally bicameral right/left Win/Win GameExperience

My extended global
multicultural family
history and future
with more resonant
healthier cooperative democracy
embedded in Earth’s ecosystemic wealth,

Co-invested across multi-generations
of MotherEarth’s wise-dialogue
win/win eco-political
eco-feminist regenerators

Not of colonizing political
and anthropocentric economic privilege
but of democratically co-invested integrity
in sacred green/blue communion.

Healthy Empowering Economics

I was a Taoist
philosophically and spiritually
metaphysically and physically
long before my Public Administration classes.

Which may be poignantly of interest
because the original Taoist teacher,
LaoTse,
taught sensory experiences
of Yang-testosterone energy
and Yin-estrogen synergy
for a bicameral governing audience
with questions about how to empower egocenters red/yellow
and ecosystems blue/green
equitably,
as democratically healthy as possible,
while avoiding libertine chaos.

One of the most useful,
and curious, DeepLearnings
that emerged in these Public Health Governance classes
with Public Wealth Management professors
is the yang/yin interplay
between capitalist economics,
with a profound Western monopoly on defining “value,”
AND democratic politics
of self and Other,
Me and We,
empowerment objectives.

When RightWing economic conservatives
look at the Constitution,
They see YangPatriarchal scripture
demanding sacred fealty,
defining orthodox hierarchical structures
to achieve “stay in the nationalistic competitive Black”
and bottom-line financial balance
between outgoing investments
and incoming returns
in experienced social
cultural
historically accumulating
nationalistic GNP value,
and don’t worry so much
about Earth’s capacity to repair
gross nationalistic consumption;

As if democratic virtue
is a free market bankable investment
for the personal governing pleasure
of those most successful
at capitalism’s win/lose game
of empowering/disempowering patriarchal
monotheistic straight-white values.

On the other hand,
LeftWing political liberals
step into embodied
full-sensory mindbody circles
to listen for Yin-ecofeminist
historical/cultural wisdom

Refining multicultural revolving spirals
of democratic power to cooperatively achieve
“you don’t always have to color within dogmatic lines”
in basic black
or business grey
or maybe brown
or navy blue conservatism,
and also notice top-line integral balance
between outgoing economic empowerment
and incoming democratic returns
in co-empathic
globally multiculturing
historically inter-weaving
EarthTribe deep cooperative listening skills

As if democratic health
is a revolutionary blue/green/yellow/red/purple/orange
multi-regenerational co-investment language
for interpersonal pleasure governing
those most successful
with capitalizing on Yang’s testosteroned win/win strengths
for deep learning
enlightening Yintegral ecofeminist
ecopolitically encircling
revolving
repurposing
reweaving
regenerative values.

Bankable cooperative re-investments
for ecosystemic present
and future Turquoise/Ultra-NonViolent regenerations
of self/Other governing

Investing in HealthPower

I think the political left
makes too much noise
about enlightened democratic goals
of our LeftBrain dominant
white property-owning
ForeFathers

To be respectfully
and resonantly heard
by economic RightWing Christian,
and other Supreme-Dogmatist,
capitalists who don’t make enough noise
about Jesus’s multiculturaly liberating GoodNews

That win/lose capitalism belongs
to systems supporting economic privilege
while powers of global

belong in multi-faith cooperative enterprises,

and humanely enlightening

of co-redeeming deep listening circle value,

a multicultured fluent

we might discover a democratically healthy Constitution

Influenced both by RightWing GodLanguaged

to build a sense of solidarity,
and by LeftWing EarthCooperative economics

Bodhichitta Joy

Bodhichitta:

Is a supremely multicultural
golden elixir
overcoming sovereignty of death,
fear of mortality,
anger against loss
and suffering
and dispassionate inhumanity.

Is an inexhaustible
infinite
poly-rational treasure
eliminating,
absorbing,
healing poverty
in
and on
and over Earth’s orbiting
revolving
spiraling seasonal path.

Is supreme medicine
that quells
dispels Earth’s disease,
monoculturing unease,
swells polyculturing ease,
communion,
multiculturally intelligent communication.

Is a tree sheltering all living creatures
wandering
wondering
tired
retired
retreading this cooperatively-held path
of conditioned
reconditioned,
autonomously
interdependent,
mortal existence
immortal consciousness.

Is a universal bridge,
nutritional language,
healthy wealth
leading to liberal liberating liberty
from unhappy,
stingy,
conserving,
hoarding states of defensive birth
and child uncare.

Is a dawning moon of mindbodies
dispelling
respelling tumorous torment
of disturbing conceptions,
perturbing new moon misconceptions,
burbling cognitive dissociative dissonance,
gurgling bicameral full moon resonance.

Is a great sun
ultimately removing misty ignorance
of MotherEarth icons,
EarthMother original sources
resourcing our ecofeminist healthy home
in joy.

Intimate CoMessiahs

Sexually powerful energy,
longing for healthy
deeply resonant experience
of regenerative compassion,
both natural and spiritual,
metaphysically leftbrain
but yet embodied rightbrain,
reconnecting bicamerally sensory consciousness,

When combined
with disciplined
adult, and yet not fully mature,
religious passion for multiculturing fulfillment,
yet still grasping toward short-term ego-privileged
ultimate climax,
sensational satiating experience

Is a highly volatile mixture.
Dangerous ground.
Deeply treacherous.
Filled with yellow and red striped
CAUTION signs,

Icons of rich potential blessing
through resonant
non-violent
vulnerably transparent
communicating co-passionates,

Which is not equivalent to,
nor the probable outcome of,
not sharing with today’s
and tonight’s multi-sensory receiving audience
of the typically one-on-one intimate moment
what you have persuaded yourself
the engorged
engaged Other needs
and wants to hear
then see,
to touch
then feel,
to taste
then smell
to fully invest
in being naked
with you.

Great sexual partnering
does not begin
with good marketing communication skills,
talk without integral action

But, great sexual experiences
do begin and end
with resonantly
richly
robustly balanced
compassionate listening,
feeling,
smelling skills
explicitly communicating
your shared/unshared values
for long-term co-empathic sensory experience
through sensual communication

Including sexually committed
cooperatively co-empathic
naturally spiritual
long-resilient active compassions
in solidarity with all EarthTribes
in compelling felt, heard, fragrant climates
of unsettling ecstatic copulation

As soon as our unsexy wars
and aggressions end in timeless peace
overcoming both internal theological
nature v spirit ambivalence,
and external ecological
secular v sacred indifference.

Sexual integrity
is not a mainstream path
toward bodhisattva
and messianic compassion,
much less completion.

It is not a shortcut,
although long-term ecstatic belonging
with Earth and all Her sexy Tribes
may be an outcome of mature
ecofeminist compassion.

Whether true or not
I remain cautiously aware
I am not yet mature enough
to curiously
and courageously
know,
explore,
systemically and resonantly design,
compassionately and multi-sensually
polypathically and polyphonically
ecologically and theologically redevelop.

LeftBrain Avatar

LeftBrain thinking,
not an avatar
of compassionately feeling
emergent healing systems,

Chilly baptismal waters
of equanimity
do not typically suggest a warm bath
in multicultural
and global
democracy.

Is it possible,
reasonable,
healthy,
therapeutic
to carry gifts of resonant love
and extend them to those
evoking a long history
of patriarchal anger
and “vengeance is capital-invested mine”
disempowering fear?

How would this,
could this,
“should” this,
might this be different,
better
than fueling codependent anxiety
without realistically anticipated reform,
curiosity with transcending cooperative courage,
win/win communication out
without
win/lose return
back in,
external faithfulness without active internal hope?

Is it possible,
and even responsible,
more or less therapeutic,
to deeply burn with anger against Trumpism,
the blind excesses of narcissistic fascism
somewhat democratically turned over to empower a fool
by a near majority of lose-ego/lose-eco ignorant voters,
inexperienced with sufficient cooperative bicameral ecopolitics
to discern enlightening differences
between democratic love
and autocratic fear
of losing face,
noble retributive reputation,
emotionally satisfying financial success
far beyond simple ecosystemic life sufficiency?

Who might we become
if compassionate patriotism
were so democratically inclusive
our object of win/win regenerate love
could settle for no less object
than sacred green/blue
yellow/red
purple/orange,
and black/white at night
polypathic
polyphonic
polynomial equals not not polynomial
democratic
sacred-secular equanimity
of rightmind equals left-embodied EarthJustice,

To be faithful
to nothing less than full EarthTribe compassion
within empowering

For me,
if I can expand my sense of loyalty,
commitment,
appreciation,
love for Donald Trump,
at least as much as I fear
all the leftbrain reasons to to be angry with him,
angry about what he deliberately fosters,
angry about what has led him away from democratic We,
to the very threshold of self-righteous
inhumane fascism,
climate terrorism,
that he iconically represents,

Then I can expand into a larger picture
mirroring the loving kindness
deep learning Source
and ReSource

in globally polarized Time
