Testosterone Caste Privilege

One of my several disabilities
of personal knowledge
through experience
and, therefore, empathic intelligence,
is to know what estrogen-driven “horniness”
might feel like,
look and sound like,
taste and smell like.

Gay men require alternative
deviant paths
toward green/blue/red
ultra-nonviolent
cooperatively owned
and perpetually self/other-managed
panentheistically mediated
open WholeEarth systemic
ecofeminist peaceful experience.

I suspect a primal contrast
between an empty holed
deep chakra longing for compassionate relationship,
rather than a pole-addicted belonging
to assertive plundering
the newest available warm wet
unwhole hole,
might be one way
of contrasting secularized patriarchal privilege
with matriarchal holistic submission
to eco-political windy waves
of increasingly rabid aggression,
unilaterally pleasure polarized
and further polarizing capital-headed dominance
of debate horniness
rather than dialogue compassions.

Which brings me to my strong ability,
outgoing,
discontinuously flowing,
capacity to feel and know
smell and taste testosterone-driven “horniness”
of re-membering experience,
although not necessarily that well re-ligiously contemplated,
reflecting on how I might re-connectedly improve
continuous, rather than discontinuous, win+win outcomes
and thereby abolish future win v lose testosterone-caste disasters
of sexual
sensual
sensory
spiritual+natural sentient+conscious practice,
compassion practice,
pleasure+passion practice
until I get testosterone+estrogen horny us
at least imaginatively crown+root balanced,

Left dominant red
and right recessive green/blue
states of humane-peace+divine-justice
body+brain bright toned passion

Because that, “passion”
and power
and energy,
may become sense-synonymous
“horniness”
felt and emergently known

Balancing exterior structured
cognitive spaces
and
Ionic harmonic interior flowing
affective revolving co-binary
trans-rationally felt
positive longing
and negative not yet belonging
empty co-passioning times

Whether testosterone
or estrogen
or some bisexual multicolored culture,
some multicultural crown-rooted chakra integrity
of these two
become one ego+eco-rooted
in cosmic polyphonic
polypathic win+win re-ligioned democracy,

EcoPolitically seen
when compassionately heard,

EcoBiologically felt
when passionately touched,

SocioNeurologically tasted
when co-empathically smelled

With win+win informing+exflowing gratitude
cooperative testosterone+estrogen attitude

Compassionate multiculturing global energy
of sufficiently bicameral
disciplined ambient powers

Non-violently mediated integrity’s
deep learning opportunity

Even while facing manic
anthropocentric runaway rabid
capitalistic
patriarchal
heavily testosteroned
dominating
caste privileged
narcissistic
horny
prickly
polarizing passions of great unraveling
unease
about climates of potential
integral Anthro-health+Earth-wealth

Anthropological

dispassionate consciousness

Bertrand 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 economic despotism
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 negentropic space+time
co-arising dipolar bicameral
spatial+integral
cognitive+intuitive
physical+metaphysical systems
also sort of bilaterally co-binary

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 [winner v loser, either/or leftbrain dominant bipolarizing] harm.”

Here, Russell’s parenthetical analogy
betrays his political philosophy
favoring naturalpir+spiritual both/and co-arising systemic democracy
of We Potentially Healthy MultiCultural EarthPeople
causing and prolonging
monoculturing
narcissistic autocratic fantasies,
anthropocentric EarthExploiting MonoTheistic Emperors.

Systemic power-with-other sentient beings
travels from caste-down to caste-up,
like root systems toward flowers,
nutritionally causal
secondarily, effected communication flowing back top to down,
like seeds embedding in Earth’s co-invested future
polyculturing fertile soil
bearing multi-restoration
springing anticipated win+win
both/and synergetic fruits

Co-arising in polyphonic apposition
complementary
mutually virtuous
more normatively resilient
than win v lose bipolar challenges
of vicious monoculturing,
too audaciously self-delusional
short-term overpowering aggressors

Like
leftbrain dominant
straight white western male predators
overlording polyculturally rich Gaia-Earth
of original nature+spirit win+win
systemic peace therapy
in which each individual ego-being
is EarthMother sacred
eco-politically born
integral and organic

For growing neurosystemic
cooperative green energy,
power-with-democratic Other,
co-binary empowerment,
co-lateral caste-abolishing enlightenment
of integrity’s systemic multiculturing potential
for climate health

Internally ego-inspiring spiraling spiritual

organic ecosystems of co-passion
reversing monoculturing exhaustion

Gospel of Audacious Democracy

Are you,
or have you ever been,
a Trumpist?

Asks the Restorative Justice Committee
inviting an open discussion
with Christian evangelicals
about traditional green
global
gospel
Body of Christ loyalties

And how this anticipation
of restoring justice
through green/blue healthy democracy climates
and unred-undominating polyamorous peace
has been influenced,
or not,
by EarthPatriotic repentance.

In hindsight,
said a representative
of the StraightWhiteMale Clergy Association,
I first began reflecting on

Who is my social capital competitiveness
willing to sacrifice,
to bully,
shun,
ignore,
snub,
disempower,
leave behind
because of their hopelessly unclean sin?

So I could more clearly emerge
among my monotheistic caste peers
as an orthodox MAGA ‘winner’

A judging God of Retributive Justice emulator,
blamer and shamer,
not listening mis-communicator,
winner v loser evolutionist
of an anthropocentric
slowly degenerating
undivine
not redemptive EarthView.

Willing to sacrifice
and capitalistically exploit Earth Her sacred Self,
in my silent shaded closet
focusing on a rapturous Heavenly climax
after the straight white Father’s great self-righteous
rapacious red rage.

Which is something rather punishingly different
and anxiety reproducing
as compared to anticipating
a green EarthBound Rapture
catalyzed by healthy democratic empowering
and cooperatively enlightening restoration
of egoMind+ecoBody
therapeutic Earth Justice.

What, of your own potential integrity,
internal multicultural interests
and faith-filled curiosities,
is your current internal monocultural win v lose efficiency
for hoarding currencies of social success markers,
such as “annual six figure income”?

I’m not sure I understand your question.
Is our household income over $100,000?
Am I a faithful federal military-industrialized taxpayer?
Yes, of course.

What and whom are you willing to leave behind
wound
kill
starve
boycott
excommunicate
impeach
lock up?

How do your faith communities shut out awareness
of other green restorative currencies for success,
such as win+win integrity,
multicultural, multigenerational neighborhood social synergy,
polyamorous commitments to inclusive consciousness,
to transparent authenticity,
to vulnerable sentience
willing to risk personal honesty
about closeted upper caste defensive deviancy,
feelings of undemocratic evangelical supremacy?

I’m hoping those are rhetorical questions?

Oh ye of little love without conditions,
faith inadequate to anticipate opportunity
to more deeply learn
who we are becoming together
as an inter-religious polycultural health wealthy tribe,
a global neighborhood communion of bodhisattvas,
a diverse mutually absorbing ultra-nonviolet community
free of dreaming up more red fear
and blue/green free for transparent cooperative curiosity
and winSpirit+winNature co-empowerment
and holistic EarthPeace co-enlightenment.

Now who’s bullying
and overpowering
and not effectively communicating
so much as competitively evangelizing?

Who and what do your religious dogmas
exclude from grace
that your spiritual and natural cultural interests,
your attractions and anxieties
would include as stretch goals
for better healthy wealth of communication
which includes respectful listening more
and preaching disregard less?

If you wouldn’t mind,
could we turn your question around?
How does eco-political you,
and how have we forever audaciously become,
gospel pro-life
polyamorous
ecotherapeutic
compassionate communicators?

Integrity’s Promise

If I may suggest
a possible improvement
in mystic teachings
about healthy meditation experience,
structure,
discipline,
neurological
and psychological
and, in more advanced classes,
sociological consciousness
polycultural sentience
and political correctness

I would compassionately ask
if we have not spilled
rather too much word-filled ink
attending to cognitive awareness
and not enough
on affective
contextual
interdependently felt intelligence

Distinguishing subtle nuances
ambiguity
everyday mundane in-between nest
of empowering anticipation
(not merely win+win enlightened awareness)
and disempowering darker anxiety

Not just win v lose strategic
spiritual Me v unnatural Not-We

Healthiest Wealth of EcoFeminism

We each and all have, I suspect,
a felt awareness
that patriotism
risks degenerating into fascism,
as loyalty
risks bullying.

Isolating nationalism
self-righteously defending weaponized caste supremacy
and patriarchal privilege of one’s State
moving toward fear-mongered isolationism
supporting competitive polarization
predative politicization
of “self-made” capitalism

Rather than appreciating our solidarity
as anthropocentric nations resting and wrestling
and co-investing
on interdependent continents
articulating green/blue loyalty
to the Gaia Hypothesis of Win+Win integrity
of self+other governance

And no less self-identified sacred State

Grasping Exhaustion

Maybe it’s just ageing me.
So, I’m asking,
as focused yet open

transparently vulnerable

Do negative correlations
distancing inhaling
from exhaling
EarthMother’s sentient WorldView
resemble, for you,
too,
a reverse correlation,
dipolar co-arising
appositional contrast,
in-between organically grasping on
and sacredly letting off?

I am not sure why
this question could be economically
or politically
or psychologically
or neurologically significant

In this time of great polarized
climate EarthHealth v EconomicWealth cultural crisis,
and yet,
it persistently seems so
as I attempt,
in my Earth-bound solitude,
to exhale and dissociate from
left hemisphere verbal
monopolizing
monotheistic
demanding anthropocentric dominance

To inhale and grasp toward
more right hemisphere nonverbal
co-passion communing physical therapy
re-associating
re-syncing metaphysical thought
and physical feeling
re-communing organic and sacred
re-ligioning

Green

while exhausting stale patriarchal capitalism’s
straight white male preserving

Grasping and exhausting reactionary nonresponsiveness

Power Analysis

Power analysis
traditionally follows investment
and divestment of money
and kleptocratic energy.

Which is all fine and good,
but, as I recall,
the truth of sustainable power trends
has more to do with the healthy beauty
and the unhealthy ugliness
of where we choose to start
our co-invested redemption narrative
and where we choose to end
fixation on independent

investment choices

Evolving from
our historical revolving global dance,
green/blue health regenerative

Life’s Ups and Downs

Families
and communities,
hopefully becoming like extending families,
and that would make them some form of faith communities,
relying exclusively on top-down authorities
to empower today
and tomorrow’s cooperative faithfulness
to ourselves
to each other
to Earth
to the Universe, perhaps,
are also families and communities
under-invested
suboptimizing
bottom-up maturing co-empathic responsibilities
to learn nutritional elements
and synergetic trends we democratically trust
and multiculturally feel
for their optimizing wealth of health potential.

And, those other darker
not clearly articulating our Golden Ruling DNA-RNA heritage,
and those clearly distrusted
as anathema growing trauma’s immunities from growing healthy egos
and evolving nutritiously faithful communities
and Earth’s regenerative spiral trends,
bilaterally co-arising
ego/eco consciousness of Earth
as sacramental cooperative fulfillment
further seeking positive faithful WWW promise,
Win self-economics
Win Other ecologics
Win Earth ecosystemic
organic spacetime
0-soul co-investing moments.

What cooperative fulfilling authority goes down
equivalently invites and resonates with
co-empathic promising responsibilities
emerging from below shared daydreams,
not nightmares,
rising synergetically up.

Climates of health recycling down
so landscapes of wealthy global democracy
rise revolutionary
and sacramentally
and cooperatively
organically up.

Earth’s changing from above climate
seeps up and sweeps down
into each community’s communicating climates
ectosymbiotic and endosymbiotic
creolizing and transubstantiating
into and around
each individual’s internal climates
of organically faithful experience
and desecrating despair, dismay, competing dissonances,
and, so, thereby,
sacredly vice versa,
preferably more actively cooperative Win+Win
than reactively competitive Win v Lose
capitalistic and patriarchal
over-extended
and extractive
gamesmanship.

Families
as organic communities
cooperate best both sweeping up
and seeping sacredly down together
of and for tomorrow’s greatest polyamorous faithfulness,
and minimal monoculturing
climates of despair.

Public Sector Predators

I have lately noticed
Win v Lose bottom-line business competitors
lead within for-profit rabidly accelerating circles
and are not thereby well prepared
to intelligently produce effective robust outcomes
in a more Win+Win democratic public resonance role,
elected or appointed
Artificial or anthropocentric.

I have further noted
general decline of original democratic public servant roles,
revolutionarily replaced by a competing public predator CEO role,
pirating political powers
to better hoard aristocratic economic royalty rewards.

This has been the stuff of history,
fall of Empires,
but also for-profit failing corporations.

It is these latter corporate failures
even beyond more vulnerably protected democratic
and inter-religious losses,
where authority of position
includes authority to continue employing others
in your business
or setting lowly employees free
to market themselves elsewhere,
for democracy enriching profit
or for self-serving quarterly producing profits
for absent short-term disinvested owners
and their equally self-serving managers
Ruthless corporate minds
without co-empathic bodies,
Caste preservationists
Religious professionals, I suppose,
rather than the old school
public servant model.

Living in a self-seeking climate of growing pathology,
where schools neither mentor nor bother to even lecture
the socially cooperative primacy of mutual caregiving,
grace of gratitude both served and received,
for civic responsibilities growing into interdependent authorities,
nor are parents necessarily skilled leaders
of mutually co-passionate Win+Win
ecopolitical skill-set development.

For these reasons,
and probably far remedially more,
it seemed right and normal,
good and proper,
that the best cooperatively judicious diplomats
of and for public policies and government procedures,
whether solely self-governing or also other-governing,
would be those with public win+win bipartisan backgrounds,
rather than private predative sector unforgiving foregrounds,
understudies of evolutionary Might Makes Reactionary Right.

Yet this model of competing ruthless command
just now appears a Commons lowering denominator
for both public and private sectors,
against more multiculturally cooperative wisdom.

It should be no more a surprise
to a U.S. President
that Presidents do not have unmitigated personal powers
of information disclosure
nor of disinformation fabrication,
of energy sharing and conserving
nor of energy hoarding for further profligate self-serving
further autonomously unmitigated powers
of revenge and competing campaign egomanias,
than surprise to a CEO
of any healthy interdependently-managed corporation
where private sector mutual service
and mutually subsidiary authorities
are co-responsibilities of all
who breathe and think maturely,
speak and listen democratically,
with cooperative heart beats
both diastatic wealthy
and systolic healthy,
both full and empty of ego/eco-viral powers,
mutually grateful
for all who live and laugh
midway between fully sacred longing is
and yet not yet organically belonging.

Public private servants,
consuming no more relational powers
than we can individually and collectively reproduce,
replace,
recycle
regenerate
reconnect
re-ligion

Because more recently
and cynically
we elect and normally appoint
Public Servants
based on their prior experience
as Private and/or Partisan Predators,
wealth and power accumulating hoarders
at their capital top
bucks stop here
in this pirate place
my allies and I have bought and sold
to defend and preserve
that we don’t public service get
what we do private sexist and racist and elitist pest
invest in.

Application forms
and ballots
all seek Win+Win caregivers,
too often counted and selected
by Win v Lose bully Presidents,
wearing Chief Executive Officer hats
rather than carrying Lead ComPassion Mentor portfolios.

Legislators and judges
educators and parents
achieve more wholesome outcomes
by remaining students of wide ecological
and deep neurological listening
than by becoming teachers
of Ayn Rand’s anthropocentric capitalist economics
for antisocial patriarchal climbers.

After School Jam Session

How was school today?

Fine.

Did you learn anything important?

Maybe. I’m not sure yet.

Really? What are you considering?

We talked about Howard Odum’s natural trinity
of altruism.

Maybe I skipped that day
way back in premillennial times
before Permaculture Design had taken over deep learning development.
Who is Howard Odum
and how does his natural trinity
diverge from my traditional Holy Trinity?
Or, maybe it doesn’t.

Howard Odum was an early systems theorist
who studied ecosystemic trends
of nutrition building and disintegrating
of sustainable polycultural balance
and runwaway monocultural disasters
like climate and culture and communication
anti-nutritional pathologies.

Did you just say
climate change derives from monocultural overshoot,
an anthropocentric weed patch
taking over our communal garden,
also known as organic Earth?

I guess,
but in this case the weed patch
is over-commodified
LeftBrain dominant
anthropoids.
Odum’s natural trinity of altruism
is about climates of interdependent health,
and not for developing monocultural monopolies
like monotheistic anthropocentrism.

I’m sure I missed this class,
if they even had it back in my Baby Boomer day.

You probably just got the Holy Trinity part,
when you studied metaphysics.
I don’t think they were teaching organic physical theory
when you took MultiCultural Civics Organization classes;
although Howard was published well before your high school years.

It probably took a while for educators
to sort out the health and wealth significance
of ecosystemic balance,
rather than merely lecturing against issues
of unsustainable imbalances
hoping for healthy democracy optimizing,
polyculturing,
and, thereby, self+other polyamorous systems
as win+win wellness,
and not so much win v lose sickness.

Anyway, so is there a summary version of this natural trinity
that you might share?

Well, yes, I suppose the basic idea is as simple
as any convex and therefore also concave co-binary triangle.

I’m already lost.
No recall of convex and concave
in my Holy Trinity.

Oh, right…
you missed postmillennial Bucky Fuller metrics too.
Let’s see…
OK, Odum’s natural trinity
is a dynamic model for balancing organic energy investments,
but at two levels.

The individual anthropocentric biosystem.
And, the collective EarthMother pro-life support system,
conceived as a nondualistic
ongoing space/time
body/mind ecosystem
sharing Earth together
as one organic/sacred
pleasure/compassion-seeking Body.

At both of these levels,
individual and higher-order interdependent civil,
about a third of energy invested into the system
is required for healthy metabolic regeneration
of each and every organic ego-system.

Another consumed third of energy
feeds back to (concavely) sustain mutually subsidiary bioregions,
providers of interdependent fuel and energy and relationship.

The last captured third of energy
produces re-investments outward
to what Odum calls
“higher-order [convex] system controllers.”

Do you have an example?
What might be one of my potential investments
in a higher-order nurture/nutrition system?

Well,
in class
the hierarchical trinity we used
was grass in relationship with rabbits
in relationship with a predator,
like a fox,
for example.

So the rabbit’s energy waste fuels the grass,
and the more vulnerable rabbits feed the foxes.

Yes, especially the young and lame.
The ones who see and sniff and move less well.

I don’t see how that works out so well as a trinitarian third.
If you are young or lame or blind, especially.
But how does Odum approximate this one-third math
at the individual creature level?

That’s what we’re talking about in class.
I would imagine
if you view successfully hunted and devoured
from a predator’s perspective
you might feel the prey had made nearly a 100% re-investment,
perhaps omitting the larger bones,
in your higher-caste controlling species.
Perhaps a hungry pride of lions.

This natural trinity of altruism
seems to suffer in the end
from gluttonous taking without needing
and less compassionate giving without needing to be asked,
which is what I thought altruism was more about.

I suppose Odum was imagining a healthy polyculturing life-support system
as a resonantly deep-concave and wide-convex whole organic system,
in which about one third of ego-support generation,
as seen from a monotheistic perspective,
redeems the other two-thirds sacrifice
by feeding the metabolic thrival needs
of higher-order predators,
controlling risks of overpopulation,
leading to monocultural climates and communications
of descending, and increasingly rabid,
monopolistic pathology.

You mean like mother pigs eating their young
to better feed those remaining in her litter?

OK, if that actually happens
I’m not sure I wanted to know about it.
Also, if that happens,
then we are talking about an out of balance survival system
between older and younger generations within the same species.

Perhaps Odum was speaking of some Gaia Hypothesis balance
of energy and communication transfers.
Really big picture.
Global.
Polypathic energy exchanges.

And maybe higher order systems
are not limited to upper-caste predators.
Perhaps a higher order ecosystem
might nurture bioregional victims
of Earth’s imbalance,
especially our young and wounded
unenlightened and disempowered
by sensory blindness
and malnourished ego-identity expansion,
continuation

Until we each rediscover
that pain and loss and death
could be revisited
reconceived
reconnected
re-ligioned
as equal to two-thirds of compassionate life
and polyculturing gain
through monoculturing absence,
concave emptiness,
loss of egocentric Win v Lose investment,
divestment of upper-caste monotheistic self
as re-investment in Whole PolyCultural System
compassionate communion balance.

So, that would be the inter-religious connection, then,
between Odum’s natural trinity of altruism
and Christianity’s Holy Trinity
of and for EarthMother’s polytheistic
polyamorous altruism.

Where is Holonic Spirit
in this nondualistic trinity
of convex-eco control
with concave-ego nurturance
co-binary producing resilient healthy wealth
of ego/eco-systemic Whole Organic Earth?

That would be the middle ego/eco
co-passionate/pleasure
mind/body balance,
growing out to extend family identity
to include gratitude for annoying cousins
unenlightened politicians
disempowering judges
extending on through our individual biosystemic losses
pains
aches
depressions
systemic traumas
dispassionate/displeasing challenges
to personal higher order thrival.

So, with all that said,
do you both think and feel
that you learned anything enlightening
and empowering at school today?

As I said, maybe.
I’m not sure yet.
