How the East was Lost

The title,
How the West Came to Rule,
disturbs me enough to continue reading,
like wanting to escape a nightmare
but too fear frozen with why it could never truly end well
to stop dreaming.
In this case,
is to stop reading.

I’m sure this history of violent capitalism’s romp across Earth,
fueled by ecopolitical engines of Europe,
then also what had become industrialized and militarized market colonies,
is brilliantly nuanced and developed,
and yet, for me,
the subtitle GeoPolitical (0)Source Origins of Capitalism
is also the story of
How the East Came to UnRule,
through more ecopolitically cooperative-oriented extended families,
Elder Venerating as self-regenerative practice
for economically nutritious WinWin,
multiculturally held as morally and ethically,
ecologically and psychologically,
but also patriarchy and matriarchy healthier
than capitalism’s violent Great Climate Assumption
of Christ’s further love-evolution
by means of unfortunately necessary ballistics,
because of Original Sin,
you know,
not believing our ecopolitically cooperativist Golden Rule
applies to my own LeftBrain dominant Ego
honoring Heroic Saints I would not myself wish to ever economically become,
not quite as East venerated cooperative-competitive Elder ReGenerator Bodhisattvas,
in the West, not sacred compassion enough to stop playing tough-love,
How the West Came to Capitalism’s WinLose Aquisition-Inquisition,
an evolutionary historic assumption
about optimal WinWin regenerative enculturation.

I continue reading
How the West Came to Rule,
Anievas and Nisancioglu,
and continue my nightmare epic
How the West Came to Lose Climate Health as Wealth;
an Elder Wise creation story of ecopolitical origins
through capital-rooted Zero-Sum Balance,
both investment with disinvestment
of consuming-Yang with productive-Yin economic ebb and flow
of Capital DiPolar CoArising AnthroCentrism.

To paraphrase Einstein,
Cooperatively communicated imagination
is more ecopolitically important than knowledge

Of evolutionary Trees of Good Golden Rules
and Evil Dissonant EgoDeaths
to revolution WinWin regeneratively self-perpetuating Games
like Thought Experiments,
(0)Earth-centered,
rooted in Elder cooperatively communicating DNA/RNA Solidarity images,
icons of eternal full-octaved, multiculturally polypathic, imagination.

We are anthrocentric patriarchal love
through competitive condemnation,
more Western significant than matriarchal cooperative ecopolitical nurturance,
feeding LeftBrain violent capitalist-survivalist WinLose either/or assumptions
about Earth’s both/and WinWin evolution;
not so much the other way around,
historically speaking.

While I have not reached the Conclusion
as brought to Western and Eastern us
and all in-between uneven compete/cooperate Tipping Points
by Anievas and Nisancioglu,
I do so hope we all arrive at this same time,
How the West Came to OverRule Climate Health
becoming mere premillennial decomposition
opening new opportunities for ecotherapy,
newly conscious responsibilities,
even academic authority?
for how the West and East cooperate
to OverRule Past-Climate Pathologies,
a way of venerating our holy sainted Elders,
Left and Right ecoconscious therapeutic balance
of multicultural EarthTribe West/East harmonics.

Morning Coffee

This pleasant morning I began
my retiring day as usual
with more reflective readings,
today from “Pronoia is the Antidote for Paranoia”
Rob Brezsny.

“In January 2003,
a Muslim gas station attendant saved a New York synagogue from arson
with his phone call to 911.
Pakistan immigrant Syed Ali watched as a man bought gasoline,
marched across the street,
and began dousing the front of the temple.
Police responded to Ali’s call in time to stop the crime.
Ali declined the mantle of hero saying
‘It was a sacred place he was going to destroy.’”
Geraldine Weis-Corbley, goodnewsnetwork.org

Geraldine is right
this is not news.
This is who we already are.

Nearly anyone in Ali’s shoes would have done the same.
Probably even Donald Trump would have called 911,
although would this be because it is a sacred place?

“As either violence [mutually-immune antipathy] or pleasure [blissful co-empathic trust] goes up, the other goes down.”
James W. Prescott

Violent absence of care comes from within
in response to hated feelings
of ego-diminishing displeasure without.

Pleasure comes in from co-empathic trust without
in response to multiculturing truths healthily syncing with beauty
empathically entrusting confluence within
from generation through generation
toward Time’s further evolution.

We all want to desensitize violent fears and aggressive angers from within.
We all want to resensitize to mutually-held and offered pleasures without,
even the awkward pleasures of calling 911
to watch the police lock up a real live Hater
and throw away the villain’s key.

We all want peace offerings of polycultural
multiculturally synergetic and magnificently transcendent beauty,
goodness
Earth-rooted moral-natural equivalence,
respect,
dignity,
mutually reassured trust,
massaged and absorbed and ringing-singing
through as many of our sensory receptors as possible,
extending our relatively monocultural-egocentric boundaries of co-empathic trust
for and with and of mutually nutritional caregiving,
as did Ali
in the story of the Hater v God’s Sacred People,
each yet another bicameral balancing sensory-empathic network story,
TaoMind as Humane Bodhisattva,
struggling with violence within
resisting co-empathic trust of Earth’s PolyCulturalingARingDinging
SacredGrace Offerings without.

Healthy Seeds Produce Wealthy Leaves

Mindbodies unfold from embryonic seed
toward full living-loving
sense-synthesizing leaf production,
full YangPower during warm light-drenched days of summer,
Earth’s rotation fuelling healthy growth,
yet weedy monopolizing tendencies as well.

Seed unfolding is our first longing half,
maturing toward healthy EarthTribe speciation,
in fullest life glory.

Our second half returns fading leaf powers
to regenerate next season’s healthy yin-seeds
for EarthTribe’s full forest embryonic memories,
folding out from winter through summer,
then refolding summer back toward yin-hibernating winter
of each perennial ringed life.

Folding in from political and economic production leaves
through symbiotic breath of maturity,
searching metaphysically exhaling iconic paths,
now imprinted with Earth’s nurturing light air,
wet soil,
inhaling and exhaling revolutionary fires of transubstantiation,
giving way to new fetal forests,
understories of regenerate future recreations.

This first half, unfolding,
needs nothing yet wants every source of digestible nutrition.
Then second half, productive leaves
giving way toward next generation’s seeds,
wants nothing
yet mysteriously needs this entire forest
to evolve belonging together;
mutual nurturance full-powered.

Life’s premillennial unfolding seed
consumes energy toward maturing fullness
as postmillennial aging refolds balancing consumer-producer dancers
leafing leaping fertile enrichment,
co-messiah bodhisattvas,
Earth’s ecosystemic embryonic regenerators.

Basic Attendance shadows our co-present humane capacities
to know and love
how seeds and leaves
are both same and different
each moment of each unfolding/folding love,
synergetic political events, relational transactions,
networks,
nutrition-rooted economic trees
transforming yin seed into yang leaf
and back again,
reforesting,
ecosystems recycling within as without iconic Earth.

Trinitarian Voices

Father’s Voice

Your ungainly question,
What is the meaning of Life?
reminds of another,
What is purpose to Beauty?
which reminds of,
What is meaning and purpose for Grace?
and Karma?

Not ugly, empty, meaningless death, perhaps?

Life, like beauty, evolves appositional responses
of meaning, outlined, co-defined by negative losses and suffering
and absence of healthy purpose,
staying away from pathologies and toxins
and uglies and means and greeds and envies
and Ego dominance;

Life, like beauty,
evolves toward more nutritionally balanced, blended,
proportional symmetry, equi-valency,
full-color cultures,
more rainbow-octavish dancing in circles health
choices found within
your deep ecology of internal as external beauty
as responsible and wholesome cooperative truths,
all merging toward our universally golden hypothesis
that EarthTribe is in this messy beautiful evolution of regenerativity
profoundly and radically and ubiquitously and co-arisingly together,
as we are each not hypnotically immersed within noisy stagnant ugly competing Ego
monopoly games
losing life’s healthy integrative, assimilative
beautiful beloved potential.

Son’s Response

Seeking purposive meaning for life and beauty and love
feels like trying to gratefully worship a transcendent God
outside myself,
outside my responsibilities,
relationships,
outside my political and economic authority,
outside my friends and enemies,
outside Earth and all Earth’s bio- and ecosystems.

Yet, all I can know of this outsideness
is absence, loss, death, dismay, abandonment, neglect, violence
competing among themselves for loudest voice
where God is not incarnate,
not omnipotent,
not omnipresent,
not life,
not beauty,
not love.

If God is not my epicenter of healthy active incarnating love,
seeding and weeding and watering and nourishing
and polyculturally-multiculturally harvesting
abundant communication and community and personal
and political and economic cooperative health,
responsible and authoritative ecotherapeutic evolution
of Self as Other
interdependent with Earth’s ecological co-mentoring,
co-messianic,
bodhisattva occupier vocational opportunities
responding true within Earth’s radically profound Beauty
as Love
Basic Attendance
mindful ecoconsciousness,
when all feels and smells and tastes and walks well,
then I, dear Faither, have become a practicing atheist.

And, that could work out just fine,
therapeutically,
so long as I avoid ego-
and anthrocentric excesses;
yet Love Fertilization
seems so much easier and effective
than Anger Management.

Spirit-Nature Resonance

Perhaps a profound difference
between human nature and Earth’s other forms and dialects
merges our bilateral capacities to choose response
to longing and belonging
with their opposite intentions.

Belonging inspires antipathies of not belonging,
mutual immunities recognized and assimilated,
while longing inspires reiteratively resonant co-longing to help,
heal,
and sometimes play with each other.

Because we have opportunities to choose mutual belonging,
this Basic Attendance assimilation
of Earth’s incarnate longing for life and beauty and truth
becomes incumbent ecoconsciousness
within our more cooperative political and economically interdependent,
co-evolving futures.

Death’s Double Boundaries

I would ask Earth to not so relentlessly unwrap Her timeless dark veil.
Yet what risk of depressing our healthiest outcomes
should wishes always incarnate
restless religious and political empire-building dreams
of anthro-omnipotence?

Why could mortal incarnation
not emerge from immortal timeless Elders
like infancy coarising through final notes
of pregnant requiems,
like Earth regenerate born
of degenerating Sun’s warm embryonic womb.

I would ask timeless passage from this fertile time
unfolding between my history
and EarthTribe’s future therapeutic cooperators,
logistical statements following ecological principles
as variables are notnot constantly
internally stretching toward ecosystemic nature/spirit balance.

I had feared Earth might not so flirtatiously unwrap
Her dualdark coarising veil of Time’s great revolutions
within each Ego,
within each species,
within each Space,
time binomially unfolding
dipolar boundary issues
pointing their wu wei toward more resonant resolutions of eco-abundant life
as ego-absent death.

Angelic Guides

Divine messengers from Elders past
beget humane guardians of culture.

Messenger functions
perform and redevelop
guardian structures and forms.

Proactive verbs
with their domesticating nouns
speak defensive formal language,
recreating exegesis of life
spread and stretched between
fiaming love and stone-cold hate.

Messages shaping defense of polycultures
reshaping offense of runaway monocultures.

Divine words
building bodhisattva messiahs
guardians of healthy cooperative virtues,
EarthTribe’s convening natural discerning kindness,
ecoconscious mindfulness.

Messengers to and from our Elder guardians,
trees shaken by breeze,
squirrels chased by bluejay girls,
light shadowed by nondual night.

Sacred messengers,
enculturing guardians.

Trees Rooting Me

Last Autumn we invested in a 0.5 acre
of Mother Earth’s aria,
as sung to Thames River swell and tide,
New England new sprouting this our virgin spring wedding
with this home place,
space of grace.

My urgent first task, now largely complete,
was to partner with the trees and ornamentals,
in Bodhisattva warrior solidarity
with human racing family co-arising co-respiring trees,
counter-revolutioning against upstart thorny opportunistic brambles,
wild grape vines
reaching over all our 0.5 arias of CoBreathing Allies
in brambly weedpatch ways.

I usually tip toward recessive underdogs
and creation stories,
as these are far too often disempowered PostMillennial Occupiers,
these brambles and vines flirting with monoculturing graves
of gracious Trees, and other beings,
draping together to suffocate
0.5 decomposing acres of hungry thorns and briars
waiting for Bodhisattva SuperWarrior Me
to saw and chop and hack,
and sometimes shamelessly slash and smack,
invading over-populating brambly trends
of ivy towering thorns
with empire-building designs
embedding my delightful flesh.

Now, first spring posing tree re-liberation,
leaves speaking young embryonic appreciation,
gentle thank yous opening to more buoyant sunrise,
draped in fallen sins of past neglect,
daring me to turn my well-armed back,
to continue this solidarity with our still-enslaved neighboring trees,
gasping for strength to breathe
through coils of parasitic woody stinging strikes,
blood-thirsty for revenge
snaking dense networked vines
stretching down valley toward river source
of water’s satisfying nutritious displays,
more generous than I would prefer,
taking no sides in this small revolution
within Earth’s 0.5 arias
of stress-afflicted trees.

Without sufficient humility
I more resemble thorny brambles
than wise Elder Trees
rooting through compost-drenched systems
deep down to River’s sacred bed,
rising to meet Full Moon nights of bright.

Yet, in self-defense,
and defense of trees and ornamentals,
I prize our diversity and harmonic balance;
not so much looking for a free ride
up to sun’s commingling paradise.

Now free to speak their new spring intentions,
my neighbor trees, allies,
co-inhabitors of 0.5 Earth acres,
remind me to do my best with them,
try to follow their strong-rooted commingling example,
and avoid proliferating over-populated competitions
for River’s water
and SunGod’s co-arising light.

Franciscan Bodhisattva Vegetation

Switzerland,
part of my own historic root system,
has a Bill of Rights for vegetation,
protecting rights of intrinsic dignity
with concomitant human respect for their healthy and aesthetic purposes.
It is not OK to merely throw away
without regard for future seedling’s rights of vital procreation
within holistic ecologically-systemic balance of cooperative species.

More recently,
Pope Francis has been protecting rights of sacred dignity,
with concomitant human respect for healthy polycultural purpose,
rather than throwing away our wildflower vegetation,
our GLBTQ AlphaMeta Networking Soup,
our women and Earth’s poor and marginalized,
whether incarnating as humane-potentiating nature,
or other forms of dialectically functional econetworking nature.

It’s sad to discover your ego’s reflecting label
as a needy one
a greedy one for two or even more,
to need active love more global than anyone
you could ever dare to know.

Pope Francis,
permaculturally principled developers everywhere,
Swiss vegetation,
what is and is not naturally embryonic
about regenerating within as without Landscapes,
before and after health,
above and below (0)-zone economies?
This divine race through bilateral time’s vulnerably edgy emergence,
zeroistic revolution simplifying ecological poli-economics.

Mutual respect for all life systems
to co-mentor with RNA’s extended family Elders,
sustainable regenerating healthy love
for all Earth’s Tribes of synergetic life,
interior as exterior climate-balancing,
Sacred Tao,
ReGenerating BiCameral NetVocation EcoSystems,
speaking EcoLogic’s RNA/DNA Syntax
as Universal PolyNomially Balanced Language,
EcoNorms,
permacultural principles networking polycultural multi-vegetative love
as beautiful health outcomes.

Yet it remains hard to play life’s prodigy
without prodigal influx of divine trust
in regenerative lust for deep time
through mutual health-caring love,
when taking care of beloved vegetation
evokes,
invites co-therapeutic love returns of love economics
as loving love’s Other (0)-Soul Balancing EgoSelves.

Active Love in RealTime vegetative networks
is not spiritualized absence of thinking.
Active love is anticipating our becoming co-redeemers
co-arising Bodhisattva ProGenitors
stretching toward enlightenment
to continue diurnal worship of SunGod HealthyLove.

Active love awakens incarnate lifetimes
to bilateral empathy as poli-economic beauty,
on whose ProNoic Attendance we can evolve,
nature nurturing permacultural investments
of Ego’s mindbody.

We love
with Earth
to remember our DNA/RNA eco-belonging principles
of Active NetWorking Love;
this web languaging time’s regenerative intent
and degenerative climatic great transitional discontented
vegetation,
root systemic,
bipedal,
fractal-pedal,
octo-pedal,
and otherwise dysfunctionally noisy lack of Love Management.

It feels important to see oneself
as greedy for beloved prodigy of self-esteem,
to intentionally know love for more than any one Ego-species system
you would ever care to polyculturally grow.

NetWorking Bills of TransParent Rights
regeneratively rooted in human nature
now disencultured
disengaged from RNA’s nutritional memories of health v. pathology
as economic wealth
as equitable fertile inclusive outcomes
for all life’s co-vegetating networked species.

Sleeping with Devilish Angels

My non-languaged son sleeps with angels
by night,
flying
swimming sometimes erotic exotic
running free of AFOs and walker
dreams of past multiculturing lights
and warm glow-voiced richness.

What could it mean to him
to sleep with devils by day,
poking and teasing,
singing and dancing,
inviting his attention and participation
across his bedroom floor,
breathing in his syntaxed-ear
to say

Hello,
I love you,
as life our abundantly nutritious self

My son can hear this perfect love as life.
We should all become such
wise listeners of
Internal warm nutrition voices
as mutually-held External warm light
contenting ecoconsciousness.

My son would become a Bodhisattva Messiah,
were he capable of maturing images of memory patterned landscapes
as less than already fully diastatic
Beloved Community of Angels by Night,
DNA/RNA Earth-Holonic BeLonging Community
of Cooperative-Contented EcoPolitical Family
by Day.

Now if the rest of us
could just catch what he has,
in part
because we feel free to return
his open-handed love as co-empathic presence,
what a remarkably wonderful cooperative world
we would remember to see
each time we look at,
and listen carefully to,
a human mindbody tree
as another bicamerally
economic ecosystemic
ecologically nutritious
time-balancing,
doing the best I can
given the compost I have to work with,
me.

UnDead Thru Abundant Life Outcomes

Here’s my thing.
I wonder if Yin-UnDead river of time’s ebbing wave
predicts Yang-Love Health Abundance.

No, really,
I think about that,
and I wonder if EcoReligious CoOperative Messiahs
could also become Bodhisattva Integral-Unitarian Occupiers,
Zero-centric self-invested/divested PlaceHolders,
bilaterally stretching thresholds for health-balanced time
co-investing light cooperative emergence,
with dualdark anger-fear absorbance, co-redemption,
now PostMillennially re-emerging
ecotherapeutic regenerative values
remembering YangEgoLeft as YinEarth/Heaven Prime CoRelationship Elder Right
deep syntaxed RNA-Root-EcoLogic Systemic Zero-EcoAbundant/Absent LifeTime
mindbody neurosystem
regeneratively balanced sense of normative
light is to dark
as warm is to cold,
as EgoInterior is to EarthExterior,

As YangEgo is to YinEco
as precessive endosymbiotic evolution is
to regenerative ectosymbiotic dualdark revolutions
of fractal-sensory dialectical-dipolar TaoTime.

This feels important to me
that we seem to already incarnate this bicameral ecoconsciousness,
without permaculturally comprehending
BiLateral Ego/Eco balanced-fractal-temporal function
as prime-relational normativity
of Self and Other
cooperatively co-arising
incarnate Golden Rules of regenerately evolving nature,
Golden Ratios of revolutionary temporal nurture
within PrimeRelational Pro/ReGenesis
of EarthTime’s BiLateral Health EcoCulturation,
both DNA and RNA polycultural evolving outcome,
divine octave-color harmonic-fractal WinWin
reiterative dipolar.

But,
I also wonder
if Bodhisattva and Messianic co-redemptive natural function,
might feel more like a doormat inside,
than any clear mindbody bicameral-balanced landscape,
a Climax of EcoConsciousness without cognitive dissonant blemish,
more like a doormat within dimmer nutrient lights,
more like a dipolar-hinged threshold
when faced with brighter co-radiant loving light.

Some of us are more Messianic-Yin’s in our response to nature’s call,
come and let me invest in you
until I am drained into the depressed suppressed UnDead,
let me absorb all those angry-past and future-fears of death’s threshold,
while breathing all these toxins back out
as dissonant reminders,
teachers,
we could do better than we are
as eco-mentoring messiah-teachers.

Bodhisattva’s are more Yang-threshold cultures of Absence,
recessive polarity of precessive doormat Purgation,
dipolar co-relativity of primal health
as absence of pathological co-elational-radiant imbalance
experienced as cognitive/affective temporal-disassociation dissonance stress
as the backstory for
neural-temporal revolving-regenerate light/dark norms
predicted by RNA-iconic
Fractal-(0)-SoulInvestment Tao BiCameral ReVolution
folding and unfolding DiPolarity PolyCultural Outcome Equi-Valence
Fractal-Dialectical PermaCulture PostMillennial Time.

Doormats, like thresholds, struggle within Ego-centric biosystems
within AnthroCentric eco-enculturation language
and mindbody confluence/notnot-dissonance sensory systems.
Thresholds hear both sides of
healthy polycultural messages
with less healthy monocultural understories,
waiting to revolt this ecosystemic balance,
as opportunity increases risk of overpopulation.

Time’s BiCameral Thresholds
need co-arising Doormats,
like Moose Medicine balances Owl Medicine,
like Bodhisattva Warriors Active Love as Peace.

Peace as WarmLight
measure of Healthy Enculturing Time,
commodified as (0) PrimeTime DiPolar ReGenerative,
with temporal-neural fold-functions
polyculturally confluent ecosystemic fractal-function,
like both DNA and RNA,
icons of regenerative tissues and revolutionary health reissues.

So, but about the UnDead Yin Messianic side
of this co-redemptive creation story,
do we choose to become doormats toward death of time,
or doormats toward full-abundance of time?
For me the answer again is both.
Absorbing ego-purgation death
of angry-past memories,
absorbing all those fears
about absence of sufficient healthy ego-incarnate time,
until all that remains is Absent (0) diastatic
yin-yin
win-win
diastolic flow of time as memory
revolving synaptic light as notnot dualdark past and future
timeless waves of time’s elation
ecosystemic co-gravitation
integrating symbiotic universe,
surfing light through MidWay horizons
of polyculturing alpha-dawns
opening (0)Mega notnot dusk of Time UnDead.
