TransForming Democratic Constitutions

I believe
multicultural and polytheistic vitality is better
not just different
than monocultural and monotheistic specialization;
the difference of ecological health v anthropocentric pathology.

I believe
you believe this too.
Because if you did not
then you would probably not still be reading this.

We may also believe, then,
polycultural climate vitality
is better than monolithic absence of complexity
within organic rhythms
and patterns of each day and night,
each year,
each season of redevelopment,
each interdependent lifeline
purging ego-monopolistic
monotheistic wealth-of-power hoarding time
until intimate mortality’s sharing wisdom
sacredly sets in.

We might believe
scientists search for what to think,
how to more freely explain
Earth’s natural ecosystems
including humanely organic
interdependent political mind and economic body
biosystems
furiously Earth-passionate
and curiously Anthro-pleasured

Not believing
only artists
and mystics
intimately search for how to feel authentic value
integral trust
synergetic hope.

We might find
philosophers, like poets,
redundantly navigate why we both passion think
and pleasure feel
ecological global wealth
reinvests in
biological personal health

Of political mind
and economic body
bilaterally cobinary
re-evaluating LeftBrain verbally anthro-dominant
bicameral co-intelligence systems

Positive systems
with double negative dipolar values
co-arising potentialities,
freedom for too much Yang
ego-strength
freedom from too little Yin
eco-flow

Earth political root
and Anthro economic crown
sonnets of self-as-other equi-valent values
golden ruling governance.

We are win/win seeking
singers and dancers
sages and muses
air-breathers and heart-beaters
talking heads and listening bodies
sacred scientists and organic sentients,
Ego NeuroCrowns
reconstructing Eco SystemicRooted
therapeutic values
and traumatic disvalues

Sacred passions
and organic pleasures
showing ourselves what we most want
to divinely gain,
or at least not personally need
to avoid inhumane
globally political pain

To become healthier
value wealthier co-operating climates
of neuro-sexsensory
delight-filling polycultures

Eco-operatic abundance
of listening sounds
with ego-speaking sights,
healthy tastes with wealthy smellings,
enlightening win/lose dissonance
within empowering win/win resonance.

Of these parallel appositioned
paradoxical oppositions
which would you predict most politically correct
about economic health
and eco-dislogical pathology?

With these sacred passion wants
and organic pleasure needs
together,
do you believe you would not want to remember
we are all organically immersed
within EarthBody’s economic and political
sacred values struggle?

Refined with wanting
and not against needing
to extend family relationships
evolving/revolving Gaia Hypothesis elationships

Co-empathic enlightened resonance
replacing disempowering dissonance,
born yet healthier panentheistic again
omni-potent climates
valuing synergistically democratic
regenesis.

Regardless,
whatever,
I still believe Yang/Yin ecological climate vitality
is better than economically depressed
monoculturally anthropocentric
boredom

Yammering on and on,
repeating the same old ruminations
about struggling against both future and past
because we never considered more cooperative possibilities
through struggling with, and not against,
past painfully disvalued organic Earth-climates
to recover future gainful generations
of anthro-cultures
more vitally rebalancing
AnthroMind/EarthBody
win/win valued
eco-political evolution

Of slow-grown grassroot ruminations
thinking passions and feeling pleasures
multiculturally organic
and inter-religiously sacred

Vitality is polyculturally better
not just different
than monocultural and anthro-theistic specialization;
the difference of democratically valued ecological health
and disvalued kleptocratic pathology.

Note: kleptocracy–government by people who use their power to steal their nation’s [planet’s] resources

Russell’s Systemic Passions

Bertrand Russell
was intrigued by systems theory,
appalled by systemic racism
within himself and others,
corporations and churches
not recognizing each other’s wisdom
also found in temples and synagogues
and community investment banks
and poor houses.

He was also interested in political philosophy,
power of aristocrats
anticipating growing personal economics
despite offering no respite
to green/blue democratic EarthLovers.

A contemporary of Einstein’s,
who shared Russell’s political philosophy
and perhaps his interest in 4Dimensional
prime NonZero-entropic space/time
co-arising dipolar bilateral systems,

Russell writes,
“The reason physics has ceased to look for causes
is that, in fact,
there are no such things.
The law of [unilateral linear] causality
is a relic of a bygone age,
surviving, like the monarchy,
only because it is erroneously supposed
to do no [win/lose, either/or leftbrain dominant reductive] harm.”

Here, Russell’s parenthetical analogy
betrays his political philosophy
favoring natural/spiritual green co-arising systemic democracy
of We The Healthy MultiCultural People
causing and effecting
monoculturing
narcissistic aristocratic collective fantasies,
anthropocentric Naked Emperors.

Causal systemic power travels down to up,
like root systems toward flowers,
nutritionally before,
secondarily, communication flowing top to down,
like seeds embedding in Earth’s co-invested future
multiculturing fertile soil
bearing multi-regenerational anticipated win/win fruits,

Dipolar co-arising in polyphonic apposition
more normatively nurturing
than win/lose bipolar challenges of monoculturing,
too aristocratically self-delusional
short-term empowering aggressors
leftbrain straight white western male predators
on organic polycultural matriarchal fields
of nature/spirit win/win systemic energy
for which each individual ego
was EarthMother sacred
eco-politically born

For growing systemic
democratic cooperative green energy,
power,
empowerment,
enlightenment
of integrity’s systemic multiculturing potential
for climate health,
internally spiritual ego
as externally natural eco-systemic.

Tocqueville Talk

Patrick Deneen follows Tocqueville
speaking of risks to Western liberal democratic experiments,
great personal enlightenment adventures
seldom calm within a federating kettle
of competing selected fish,
and usually not cooperatively resilient
for health optimization
of local community peaceful resonant wealth.

In Tocqueville’s time and place,
liberal democracy evolved from feudal win/lose pre-industrial aristocracy
overpowering non-elite serfs, and lesser natural organic beings,
royal kleptocrats,
universal white privileged patriarchs
by right of land and title inheritance
supported by Divine Might Makes Right
evolutionary theologies.

As Deneen liberally repeats,
capital-invested democratic consumer legitimacy
to cooperatively contract individually manifest
humane superior spiritualized dignity
is rooted in monocultural presentism,
fragmenting mono-generational cultural contracts
with multi-regenerational fields
and nutritional species
mellow meadows
robust mountains
and calm river valleys.

Where Divine covenants
signed, sealed, and delivered
to predator Aristocrats
were rooted in creeds
dogma
Divinely inspired scriptures,
psalms
sonnets
holy creation stories
sacred pre-historic memories,
usually of patriarchal governors
and their court-appointed entertainers,
fire-circle dancers
loyal soldiers
and oral legend-tellers,
poets,
singers,
lyricists,
fools,
seers,
prophets,
WiseElders.

Presentism fragments intergenerational liturgical-nutritional commitments,
argues Tocqueville,
repeats Deneen.

Yet liberal love integrates compassion
for all Earth’s regenerative/degenerative species
verbally historic and non-verbally pre-historic
patriarchal and matriarchal
deduced and induced
Divine EarthMother co-passion
multiculturally articulate co-enlightenment covenants
through cooperative win/win listening Time

Sacredly interdependent
natural/spiritual
traditionally nondual resilience
of Taoistic co-relational covenants

Indigenously spiraling
Yang/Yin
out/in
precessive/recessive iconic
dialogical EarthTime’s win/win sanctuary, ergodic.

Patrick Deneen follows Tocqueville
speaking of risks
and appositionally implied opportunities
for Western/Eastern liberal democratic experiments,
great personal North/South enlightenment adventures
seldom calm within a federating creolizing kettle
of competing win/lose
yet cooperatively win/win selected fish
swimming through climate surfing risks.

Kleptocracy

I’m reading this book about germs and guns and steel
and pre-history
and human history,
predators and prey,
and people praying they won’t be predatored.

You know,
light bedtime reading.

So, this guy who wrote the book…

No, not the Daniel Quinn thing.
Quinn thinks the beginning and end of our nutritional civilization story
is food production.
He forgets we can also hear cooperative health
and overly-rabid pathologies,
like CEOs calling “bleed the poor to feed those already too rich”
“tax cuts”.

I mean,
I guess they are tax cuts
if you happen to be in the top 20% US income bracket,
but that seems to miss the healthier democratic point
that Lower 80% Lives Matter Too.

No, not Quinn,
it is this younger guy,
Jared Diamond,
who probably never even met Thomas Merton.

Diamond mentions “kleptocracy”
where I would have used “plutocracy”
or “aristocracy”
rather than “democracy”
but this sounded too kleptomanic
to nutritiously feed integrity
of national health
and personal
and family
and non-elite wealth.

So I had to look up this kleptocracy word
to see if it might be the economist’s view
of the political scientist’s view
of plutocracy.

And, sure enough,
here it is,
right, but feeling very wrong,
on dictionary.com:
“A government or state in which
those in power exploit national resources
and steal”

This sounds familiar
from the Declaration of Independence,
in which the original USA forefathers
informed the British aristocracy
that we are all done
with the stealing of natural and human resources
thing they called “taxes” and “fees”
and the white male property owners
(including slaveowners)
called tribute
and extortion.

Meanwhile I was listening to the Cohen testimony
about some plutocratic kleptocrat
racist extortionist
buying and selling his white privileged way
into our way too WhiteHouse
extolling the unabashed value of WinLose capitalism,
so long as those born into “Win” households
remain unfettered from their colonizing
and extorting
and racist
and homophobic
and xenophobic lack
of any semblance
of traditional Christian virtues
or Islamic virtues,
or Buddhist virtues,
or Taoist virtues,
or Hindu virtues,
or Jewish virtues,
or democratic constitutional well-being
and prosperity virtues.

So, there you go,
I’ve already learned my new word for this plutocratic day
and kleptocratic nightmare.

Who knew?
We have words for everything
someone might ever need
to slice and dice
and serve up,
like food production
to grow less healthy
uncivilized undemocracies.
