Breastplates of Righteousness

My mind is as fascinated with investments and divestments
as my body is attracted to healthy and beautiful vestments,

and haunted by prospects of naked loss of home
and self-identity.

My vested interests emerge issues and concerns about nutrition,
as opposed to empty calories.
Nutrition, whether economic or political,
pursues ecologically systemic complexity.
Nutrition can be consumed and produced by a healthy cooperative ecosystem,
while a highly disturbed and dissonant absence of balance
harmony
grace
perpetuates internal-external competitions.

We would all prefer,
regardless of cultural color of our vestments,
avoiding empty caloric pseudo-values
without healthy merit
as effectively,
confluently,
peacefully,
cooperatively as possible
through clear polypathic discernment,
well-vested,
ecopolitically co-arising, compelling
temporally harmonious Tao-abundant wealth
of a nondual co-arising mindbody

Whether the mind of an ant
or human,
the soul of a river
or forest,
or the spirit of Earth’s Time as dynamic operatic space
as my mind invests and divests Her ecopolitical history,
Her/His healthy beautiful vested body,
haunted by prospects of Earth’s naked loss,
our homeless absence of cooperative self-identity.

Earth’s co-empathic mind,
fascinating investments producing ego-divestments,
where nature’s nutrition cultivates spiritual-mental health,
left righteousness.

Officers of the Peace

TO: Police Officer Training Schools

FROM: Parents EcoPolitical Cooperative for Healthy Climates

Thank you for listening to our mutual concern about escalating violence between our multicultural children
and your multigenerational health and safety vocation.

We have a few communication suggestions
that our kids have taught us over the years
about more civil responses
and authoritatively kind welcoming conjectures
and shared concerns about not-so-civilly uncooperative behaviors.

We would like to share our orthopraxis of active peacemaking
through less violent communications.

It is so important to begin and end each day and relationship
mentoring please and thank you.
Also remember to reward You’re Welcome
as always, in our shared civil lives.

We find that when we have chased a speeding stoned-out son or daughter down,
it helps to begin with
“Thank you so much for stopping.”
With a genuine smile, if at all possible.

This generally provokes shock and awe about our unusual restraint.
Within this pocket of silence
we recommend planting a kind, but quick, follow-up
“Would you please be kind enough to show me your license
to drive your mindbody vehicle in this way
at this speed
in this ecopolitical environment
of health risks and opportunities?”

Usually, our kids are only too happy to share their documentation,
such as it has become, to date.
When this is the case,
please do not forget to respond with gratitude,
“Thank you so much for your cooperation.”

If our young offenders fail to respond with
“You’re welcome”
Please do remind them that their mothers might have taught them
with more gratitude for civil public lives and roles
of responsible authority.

To remember “You’re welcome” is everything
From economics of beginning faith
to politics of ending with multicultural grace.

Sometimes translated as
Aloha
Namaste
Peace
but never Whatever…!
You’re Welcome is our mantra of cooperative ecopolitical civic lives.

You’re welcome
because we know you’re doing the best you can,
bless your competitive little egocentric heart.

You’re welcome
because we’re all on this road together,
racing through lives
screaming for a more civil pace,
we are diversely enculturing mentors of welcome,
Namaste.

If not,
then try to recall, as we do, when Police Officers
might have been known as Officers of Peace.

Said Hillary to Donald

Words have consequences,
said rhetorical behaviorist Hillary to Donald,
we would no more cooperatively elect a Donald Trump as President
than we would compete to win Donald Duck for Empire Builder.

Words mean things,
said linguistic behaviorist Anat
to her fellow Economist Collective,
and the absence of words means something too.
We’re not sure what
but I place my bet
on more contenting ecopolitics.

Light consequenced water,
we know this from our history of science books
but this is difficult to see
how exactly this could be
without sufficient silence to recall
what dipolar co-arising energies lie in wait
within this shared enlightenment,
progenitor of stardust
ecopoliticizing
ecologizing harmonic fertile planets
with their wet offspring.

To paraphrase Joanna Macy,
Active economics is not more wishful thinking.
Active ecopolitical words and praxis do not wait for issues
to be resurrected and remembered
by the Donald Ducks
or by some other self-serving would-be savior.

Active Hope wakes up in life’s ecological beauty
wonder
sabbath
on whose silently exquisite behalf
we can act as light.

To the Hillaries:
Follow the light,
not so much the butch rhetoric.

To the Donalds:
Follow your truth with beauty loves,
not so much your prized pathologies.

Toward Improved Conservative EcoPolitical Stamina

Note to Grover Norquist
and others with corporate political non-responsibility persuasions:

When you were 21 you “decided that nobody learned anything about politics after the age of 21.”

A few financially well-greased years later, as a professional lobbyist,
you decided if you could, you would “drown government in a bath tub.”

Which would presumably take out the government lobbyists as well,
but, never mind,
apparently you had already figured this out by the time you were 21,
deciding to feed from the hand you would drown if you only could
without inconveniencing yourself, of course.

After all, that’s what being a conservative is all about in the U.S.,
conserving personal conveniences,
queer feelings of self-reliant entitlement,
by not willing to vulnerably empathize with non-elite players,
unlikely to move or shake any money tree in your back yard.

About this drowning of government.
Would that especially include,
in fact would it necessarily first, and most primarily, include
all forms of self-governance with power-relational responsibilities
and opportunities and risks?
I mean, do you have children,
or did you have kids,
or have you ever met any kids,
or do you by chance remember being under the age of 21,
before you knew everything there is to know about self-governance?

As a parent, hoping to help adolescents move toward healthy self-governance,
does this seem like the kind of accountability and responsible behavior
that you didn’t worry so much about for your kids,
and maybe your younger neighbors and friends?
Because, after all,
presumably they would magically become just like you at 21,
and already know everything there is to know about how to self-govern
your mind
and your over-paid mouth
and your under-exercised potentially cooperative feet and hands,
trying to at least do no harm to yourself
your family
future generations
Earth
our economy
our political health as a self-governing Nation of accountability
learning how to behave within a democratically intended healthy economy
of multicultural inclusion and freedom.

Freedom to explore vocations in the public (government) sector,
like teaching
and public health and safety and security positions
without worrying about becoming another all-wise you,
because the rest of us poor public-sector slobs are still working on our cooperative WinWin gaming strategies
toward ecopolitical self-governing multicultural climatic health,
rather than the pathology of advocating public drownings
and put-downings
of those who are presumably doing the best we can
despite the self-aggrandizing behaviors of corporate conservative lobbyists,
who hear “freedom of democracy”
every time they speak behind closed doors
“freedom toward plutocracy.”

Other than that,
I have no doubt you’re doing the best you can,
bless your drowning heart.

Wealth Without Walls

We pursue endless climate sabbaths,
I perhaps best and worst of all,
holidays of verdant forests floating within
oceans of atmospheric tides sucking and spewing nutrient flowing matters,
slow-dancing ecopolitical issues reincarnating history
of Earth’s love of Time Herself,
rich bubbling pastures for fertile economies
of harmonically choreographed dress rehearsals,
moving from today’s creation curtain back toward First Act
preparing already our next great transition,
another season of ecopolitical regenerate life
in Promising Lands and Prophetic Seas.

Economy, like Sabbath,
epiphanies a cooperatively normed word
and competitively abnormal climate function
for any sustainable ecosystem
including bio-networking human-nature-systems

To act economically, we practice ecopolitical health.
Practice, practice, practice makes further economic climates.

My economy,
running through my days and nights,
weeks and calendar-scheduled months,
me performing with cooperative intent
internally as externally,
organically bilateral,
binomial in as out reflecting in,
bisexual Yang-form power with Yin-flow fluid function strength,
interacting as peacefully as possible,
listening deeply for my own arrogant egocentric injustices
to myself and others,
excesses of shutting-you-out power,
most vulnerably over-exercised on those I live with
and work with each day.

My competing economic-political behavior feels like struggling against
some other competitive economic force,
stronger and thereby darkly compelling,
while my cooperative ecopolitical evolution feels struggle within
my own extended family of confusion, miscommunication,
lack of sufficient awareness
that our WinLose feelings and predictions
are rooted in embryonic experience of WinWin norm-expectations for life
in this EarthTribe Cooperative.

I have a healthy economic life
and one more pathologically egocentric,
with monoculturing intent,
feeding on ethnocentric hubris
yet sabbathed in anthro-enculturing Elders,
looking for a co-messianic bodhisattva EarthTribe economy.

Ecosystems like me,
prefer our healthy ecological economies
with mutual subsidiary, multiorganic cooperation.
I expect our political power-relationships
to normatively reflect our economically balancing (0)-sum intent
and orthopraxis centers,
which is why I do not want bicameral governance structures quarreling against,
rather than discerning with,
co-empathic trust in our shared economy
as karmic
and graceful
and incarnational
and evolutionary
and even sometimes revolutionary WinWin cooperative intent.

This is how we have all been raised together
from originating Yang-sperm and Yin-oceanic eggs,
Animus-yolk hemoglobic egocenters
and Anima-nurturing chlorophyllic green ecosystems
of embryonic-empathic trust forests
in healthy economic nutritional-branching and rooting truths
as ecopolitical sabbath beauty choices.

Sabbath climates invite cooperative opportunities
where daily grinds compete to improve WinLose risks and odds pathologies
as if these could be remembered
as a good and true anthro-embryonic history
of new life revolutions.

God of Healthy Climates

God is a self-perpetuating
self-referencing
self-reiterative
self-regenerative verbal climate.

NotNot God is a timeless self-perpetuating climate
transcending extremes of climaxing health
and devolutionary pathology,
embracing
warmly and coldly
all mindbodies in-between.

AnthroSpecies’ sacred intelligence of recreating
evolving
incarnating God as our own climatic images,
capable of forecasting weather and atmosphere
and ice-melts and ozone depletions and repletions,
with empathy breathing internal mental unhealthy paranoia climates,
personal ecopolitical concerns issuing in through our senses,
breathing out through Earth’s co-empathic climates
of healthy ecotherapeutic days
and dualdark melting inferno futures.

NotNot God is climate health and pathology,
Within Yin and without Yang,
as anima-shadow below
so animus above burning rays of SunGod
heating and cooling Gaia’s human infestation,
recreating Her humane incarnation,
or so we multiculturally hope and climatically pray
and play and recreate.

Each AnthroSelf of God lives within two health climate frames
of ego-political performance,
an internal climate,
sometimes health-investing in thrifty cooperative therapies,
and an external ecopolitical climate,
sometimes too competitively stingy
to coinvest in our shared EarthTribal health,
preferring to hoard nature’s empty-caloric chump change climate
of dissonant ticking, clicking, counting, hiding despair.

Wealthier sacred sustaining liturgical incarnations
more likely evolve within fully co-invested Gods and Goddesses
of ecopolitical healthy climates.

Rise Up Struggling Lives

Rise up
significant and healthy black through white lives,
divine dignity claims our domestic peace and justice.

Advocate showing up within our own prophecy
of dual destiny potentiality.
We all live and die
but our diminished black lives are not to die
any more or less than dominant white encultured lives.

Our dignity in losing ego strengths
shouts out to gain ecopolitical equity.
This, poverty’s wilting purpose
to become reborn through nutritious soul food wealth
of multiculturing purpose.

One economic-political principle we must be sure of,
risk and opportunity ebb and flow in equal portions.
Life and death,
wealth and poverty,
could be no exception.

Risks endemic to poverty of spirit
also present opportunities to cooperatively rule
ourselves within this ecologically systemic Earth,
evolving peaceful politics
as ecojustice black through white
fragrant octave-souled polypathic beauty.

On Social Psychology of PoliticalPower Relationships

I suppose these my self-articulating thoughts
aspire to represent our ecopolitical therapeutic arts collective.

Poetic licenses and decompositional life sentences
invested in prayer to fully incarnate,
own,
then master karmically healthy performance arts
of coarising nondually facilitated research sciences,
life through death ecotherapeutic punctuations
of rhythmic balanced fertility.

Empathic political art trusts in truths with beauty bounty.
Poetry evoking sacred liturgies
of Earth-empowering art therapy
for more enlightening stretch-canvased consciences.

Art predicating and predicting life
regenerating ecopolitical sciences
of and for healthy future co-investments
in cooperatively recycling performance thoughts
with co-empathic deep listen feelings.

Keeping Americans Safe

A prayer for God to bless America
is also a reminder of traditional political mindfulness,
basic awareness of our economic investments in security.

First, no one “keeps” this confederation of uniting states,
unless we let them.

Second, prayers for sustaining safety assume the U.S. is safe now,
and/or implies concern that we are at risk.
There are many ways to become ecologically
and economically
and politically
and culturally
and physically
and mentally
and spiritually safe and unsafe.
We are each on a continuum of health v pathology
as individuals,
as is each of our States,
as is this Nation as a whole ecopolitical system.

Third, “America” refers to two continents,
one to the north and one to the south.
A U.S. safety and health security measure could both be
and not be
appropriate health and safety policy
and procedure for this quartile of Earth.
It seems to me we are heading in an ecologically unraveling,
and therefore increasingly unsafe, direction,
more immediately for our coastal nations and, yes,
still somewhat united States.

Fourth, “safe” for and from what and why?
Traditional conservative minds tend to exegete the Preamble to the Constitution
and perhaps even the Declaration of Independence.
Here we read that we are united in healthy pursuits of happy prosperity.
We also read we are uniting with freedom
to articulate a multicultural relationship with God,
free of dominating,
power-over controlling religious-political constraints,
restraints,
and economic leverages or punishments.

Preferably no inquisitions for bowing to the East.
If we all did,
then God might see the humor of AnthroCentrists
bowing and worshiping toward each Others’ rear ends;
Find it good and proper
and call us a full polyculturally wise day
mutually inviting humility.

Does separation of religious from self-governance declarations and constitutions
intrinsically grow tension with our desire to be safe
for ecopolitical prosperity?
This was, and perhaps remains,
a radical social experiment,
in part because religious systems,
institutions of intended regenerative self-perpetuation
toward safe and healthy governance
throughout Time’s eternities
is the nutritional stuffing of political powers over
and powers with,
powers under and powers without.

The multiculturing of a shared safe and healthy politically powerful Teleology
is not ecologically equivalent
is not educationally equivalent
to the dumbed-down secularization of U.S. society and culture.

We both under- and over-sell our political ecology of multi-enculturation
as purging ourselves of faith and empathic trust in each other,
faith in Earth’s creative cooperative health and multigenerational sustainability;
Bleaching such faith out of public discourse,
especially public education,
and most especially out of deep listening-learning mindfulness
about our own uniting states of ecopolitical trust
and mistrust
and learned anthrocentric distrusts,
our positive faiths
and negative ego-ethnocentric prejudices
within our interior landscapes
and across the North and South American Natural Landscape
of a remarkably ecologically co-evolving, polyculturing, dynamic-revolving Earth.
Such science and education can only predict closed-system entropy,
while nature-spirit deep learning comprehends open-systemic co-empathic loves, integrities, nondual truths as symmetrical beauties,
multiculturing evolution of Time our regenerational transgenerational selves.

To keep the U.S. safe from absence of health
through ecological learning from past successes and mistakes,
to keep us healthy for future generations,
which is your priority?

1. Aiming deadly and toxic ballistics at whoever we currently consider aliens
and rabid infestations inflicting terror outside our own boundaries, or
2. Aiming health as ecopolitically cooperative policies and procedures
at the aliens and rabid infestations within our own skins,
and stated boundaries.

Prophets,
Medicine Men,
preachers and teachers,
shamans and seers,
saints and messiahs and boddhisatva warriors,
mystics and gurus,
even motivational speakers
and Anger Management therapists
throughout the history of languaged culture itself
have looked into our futures
within every color and multicultural creed
to remind us we will become positively known for our regenerational love,
our evolving capacity to cooperate,
as generously and gratefully as ecopolitically possible,
until no monoculturing terrorist would choose to live in his lesser environment of fundamentalist exclusions of nurturing-fertile matriarchy,
such as that co-mentored with Gaia as Earth-BioSystemic EcoPolitical Intelligence,
Regenerative Health.

Our best health and safety American offensive for positive change on Earth
remains as always
a multiculturally integrative loving ecopolitical internal constitutional defense.

We already declared our interdependent political will to grow freedom
from supremacist nationalistic-religious tyrannies
against the good cooperative multicultural nutritional faiths of our co-evolving Elder Tribes.

We have already written a Constitution for co-arising nondual states of mutual-enlightenment,
for multicultural ecopolitical health and safety and prosperity outcomes.

We just need better practice.
Our lack of adherence to our own cooperatively shared nature-spirit traditional ideals
threatens further climatic
overly-competitive, ballistic distrust
and monocultural devolution, disarray, dissonance, decay.

Keeping Earth safe
may be a monotheistic mandate.
If so, we become one united state of being free
for further multicultural evolution of health
and globally inclusive climatic safety.

May our multiculturing God
continue to bless all our North and South Americans
to bless all our polyculturing healthy cooperative EarthTribes.
