The PermaCultural Brain Surgeons

Honey,
please don’t even try to get me interested
in your Cranial Ontology Department.
You know how the name itself
puts my brain to sleep.

Yes I noticed your tendency to snore
when I am thinking out loud,
with tender thoughts about glial climate cells
holding up all that neural landscape in your mind.

Sounds more like Brain Architecture to me,
and I prefer my architecture out where I can look at it.

I thought so.
So why isn’t your PermaCulture Design Department
called the PermaCultural Therapeutic Design Department,
so your therapeutic ecoconsciousness could be better marketed
for all to see?
You are the health and nutrition regenerativity people;
the public-private health development scientists and artists, really,
rather than restricted to outside edibles and ornamentals,
stimulating neural-glial flowing smell and taste therapies,
polypathic as well as polycultural ego+environment regenerating
creolizing
healthy-wealthy outcomes.

Oh, leave us alone,
we have plenty of environmental climate messes
in our cranial ontological confusion already.

I was hoping to be helpful;
not sniping.
When I imagine matriarch-regenerative organized glial cell networks,
I wonder if they respond to music and fragrance therapies,
artistic-symmetric rhythms and patterns,
especially fractal-holonic,
like regenerative DNA tissue its Original Matriarch/Patriarch Equivalent Self,
double-bonding with color wheels and rainbows,
eight-note octaves of both majorYang and minorYin,
biaxial dipolar appositional co-arising equanimity,
like surf and wind sounds, ebbingYin and flowingYang,
as PolyPathic Yang = Not(Not-PolyNomial) Energy/Entropy, Information/Exformation,
as Win-Positive Deviance = Not(NotLose) DoubleBinding Appositional Negative Deviance-Squared/Fractal Tipping Points
between neural landscape therapeutic design
and glial-embryonic enthymematic climates
of bilateral-bicameral ego/ecotherapy.

Again, dear,
I appreciate your intent,
but, although PermaCulturists do have polyculturing therapeutic intent,
we are not into interior design, so much,
like surfing-breathing wallpaper
displaying primordial embryonic nutritional seascapes.

I doubt you could embrace surfing spiraling landscapes
without also seeing
and smelling
and hearing with dipolar co-arising and co-ebbing glial networks,
bicameral balancing in therapeutic favor for Win = Not(NotLose)
ecopolitical
multicultural
polypathic justice as also peace.

Neural Yang networks
floating in Yin double-binding appositionally dipolar climate balance
is like experiencing both your ego-point
and your eco-home 3-dimensional environmental spacetime-line
through a temporal long-term multigenerational matriarchal tree
as contrasted with a neural-atomic-digital bionic coaxial patriarchal way.

Glial may feel RightBrained to you dear,
in that cerebral phylogenically reproductive ecoconsciousness of yours,
but to me your words and revolving images
flow and ebb more Yin Both/And heuristic,
reiterating time and rhythmic patterns,
fractal-midway octaves sung full majorYang co-operatic
as neurons define LeftBrain Yang
WinWin mutual love and hopeful therapies
more powerful than LoseLose mutual denials
of both right now and future
as reweaving past nature-spirit nondual spacetime.

Well,
at least you’re not snoring yet,
although I do see those lovely eyelids drooping.
So, if you do drift off,
see if you can find any permacultural WinWin resolutions
of degenerating long-term Either/Or climate pathologies
with short-term to immediate right-now Both/And notnot-Lose
co-redeeming equities for your exegetical LeftBrain deductive positive neurons
with your eisegetically bilateral-networking RightBrain inductive notnot glial cells
and seas
and surfing, spiraling seasons
of past through present through future ecopolitical health
and cooperative ownership
and co-redemptive neural-glial safety.

Oops, I think I lost her.
Have a well deserved nap, my dear.
I think I’ll do the same,
maybe our glial scents and tastes will hook up.

Don’t talk dirty, dear.
Unless you mean it.

Higher and Deeper Powers

I was noticing that those in the Unitarian Universalist Association,
with which I am more or less anonymously affiliated
in some far too abstract way for personal comfort,
believe in three prime sources for their (our) truth search,
rather like a revised holonic trinity,
equally at home for Buddhist monk
or Islamic or Christian not-quite-so-fundamentalistically BothAnd alive.

The first of these is a Higher Power.
Now this must have been written by the Yang Universalists
within the Universal-Unitarian assembly,
because every wholesome Yin Unitarian knows
that what is a Higher Power for Universalist Yangers
is also a Deeper Power for Unitarian Yinners
bilateral BothAnd winners;
so, a HigherYang/DeeperYin Power.

Then we come to the second source,
YangLife and YinDeath.
Now any fully bicameral balanced Unitarian-Universalist,
just as any Taoist,
knows there is always something of Yin within Yang
and vice versa.
Just as there is something of our daytime lives
in our nighttime dreams,
and sometimes our inductive dream work
presents bilaterally incisive insights
into next morning’s Tipping Point meditation
on and for and of the breathless balance
of ego- and eco-consciousness,
empathically trusting in healthy YangLife
and safety of exhaling final YinDeath,
leaving further climatic paradoxes
and coaxial dialectic nondualities
for future regenerations to sift through,
notice,
comprehend and decompose,
and then reweave again,
as full-octave light emerges from dark
so life emerges from embryonic death
the absence of discontinuous life at egocentric levels
posing both risk and opportunity
in wider and deeper nutritional Earth-centric becomings.

Finally, we have sacred texts,
the YangLogos and YinMythos of experience
reflected in the memory language of Wise Elders,
presumably filled with both Higher and Deeper Powers.

So, that’s it.
We have the Higher PatriarchalUniversalist Power
with the Deeper BiCameral Learning MatriarchalUnitarian Power
living and dying to WinWin nature-spirit nonduality together,
as written in the fusing-fractal DNA and RNA
of each sacred ecological phylogenically regenerative
and co-operative
reproductive rights and wrongs re-creation story.

Now the 3-Source trinitarian story takes us to the 7 Principles,
which some permaculturists would expand out to 12,
while spiraling octavists, and maybe sufis and artists, stop at 8,
but nature reweaves as a regenerative bilateral-fractal 4
seasons of health and safety regenerativity,
or cooperative ownership and self/other governance,
if you are a Yin-Unitarian NonZero-Sum economist
or a Yang-OneEarthClimate politician
or possibly even nondual BothAnd alive and growing
out your extending UU-Taoist family,
tribe,
species,
planet,
the wu wei in-between horizontal and vertical spacetimes
where Earth and Sun/Moon radiant Sky
nondually co-arise seeds,
trees,
and other bilateral root and branching health and safety systems
seeking both Higher and Deeper Powers
of reproductive
reweaving continuous life and discontinuous death,
sacred regenerative texts;
not to become confused with degenerative twitters.

The L Word

The L word,
like the N word,
labels no one with healthy homeostatic balance within society,;
no conservative fellow-conservationist of culture
that we would want to be
and creolizingly become.

The L word
is a political caricature,
a despotic stereotype,
of what is too often economically proven
as also a faithless hypocrisy.

An authentic political person
favoring liberating inclusion
within our systemic power structures
cannot also be an economic autonomous ownership conservative.

A politically bilateral cooperative management model,
where responsibility goes up as authority comes down,
is ultimately supported through cooperative ownership
as public health
stewardship for optimizing multicultural wealth.

To own the L word
is to cooperatively own Earth,
including our nondual co-arising
nature-spirit,
descriptive-prescriptive,
logos-mythos,
yang-yin,
left-right,
deductive-inductive,
double-binding ecopolitics.

Old School Libertarians
had faith in conserving political freedoms for co-empowerment.
PostMillennials would also liberate
our faith that growing economic cooperative ownership,
and self-with-other governance,
is a normative therapeutic prescription
but also an ecological description
of how we organically have derived
optimal regenerative
multiculturally positive outcomes
throughout both history and herstory,
both economically co-owned
and conservationally co-operatively managed.

Who cooperatively owns and manages
your not primarily for elitist profit-growing enterprises,
plans,
designs,
projects,
corporations,
incarnations?
Is it your celestial Board of Directors
and your monopolistic CEO?
Or do you cooperate your days and nights through family-owned busyness and playfulness,
through your local economic and political cooperative networks
of co-owned industry and recreation,
transportation and communication,
communing self/other transport,
your cooperative interdependent ecosystemic States,
your Earth interdependent international economies?

These are each and all for ego/eco-therapeutic climate-liberating health
accruing cooperatively emergent slow-growth wealth
through WinWin regenerative games and choice-making
and self-with-other ownership of our cooperative game ourselves.

This cooperative matriarchal/patriarchal Organic Garden
is already multicultural Shabbat here,
and still not quite cooperative therapeutic economic ownership
of and for regenerative self/other-gratitude governance;
not just anti-climatically yet.

The Fourth Principle

The Fourth Principle of cooperative ecopolitical design (D. Holmgren):
Apply self-regulation and accept feedback.
One might read this as an implied corollary
of the Golden Rule.

Why?
The sins and blessings of the patriots and matriots
are revisited by and with children
unto the seventh generation.

If we are to develop healthy and robust democratic self-governance
then we must grow cooperative ownership and stewardship of feedback systems,
especially from those whose outcomes are least robust
among our slowly extending global family.

Feedback comes in two trends,
regenerative-positive,
which often has some form of creolizing, creative, recreative dimension
to love’s evolution,
and degenerative-negative.
It is important to accept both kinds,
to welcome both kinds, especially when they are offered together,
within some nondual co-arising double-binding frame
of appositional dipolar reference,
to become grateful for both kinds,
to express this gratitude for both kinds,
life’s apparent blessings and curses.

So, whether Republican or Democrat,
or something Libertarian Green in-between,
an important litmus test for the savvy ecopolitical consumer and producer
of national and state and local leadership and maturity
that we sometimes ignore at our own disgruntled peril,
and at further peril “unto seven generations”
of potentially robust regenerators,
from Bodhisattva PeaceWagers and CoInvestors
to CoMessianic Salvific GoodNews CoRedeemers:

1. How has this candidate for public office
demonstrated and grown mature self-regulation
in his/her personal and public economic and political-relational life?
Essentially a question to compare cooperative ownership and governance trends
with overly competitive elitist and supremacist egocentric trends.

2. How has this candidate demonstrated growth
in regenerative capacity
to absorb,
learn from,
and become grateful for
positive and negative feedback
in his/her personal and pubic economic and political life?
How might you compare this to your own life,
both naturally organic and spiritual?

Perhaps the overly competitive economic and politically aggressive public servants
we have been electing and hiring to represent our healthiest interests
are the to-be-expected answers
to the absence of higher-priority questions,
too degeneratively short-term focused
and polarizingly narrow-minded,
questions unmindful of the Fourth Principles potential
for more robust Golden Rule cooperative outcomes.

Growing Up Healthiest

Just as a significant line might be drawn
between permaculture design
and agribusiness,
defined as improved seasonal production through better and more expansive chemistry and soil and water and air and light pathology,
we might draw a parallel contrast
between cooperative Earth-nutritional politics
and competitive bottom-line capitalism,
human natural purpose and Earth-nature’s absence of healthy intent

between cooperation as Yin-flow
and competition as Yang oppositionally proficient deductive strengths

between cooperative ecopolitical co-ownership and stewardship
and competitive anti-ecological autonomous supremacy of human nature
and patriarchal-dominant rulership.

From a LeftBrain deductive dominant perspective
this line looks like an Old School opposition,
a mutually-antipathic hostility.
Yet, from a cooperative Left-Right mindbody perspective
this same line
looks and feels like ALSO (bilaterally) a decompositional appositional space
for heuristic co-empathic trust,
for significant deep learning Both-And,
rather than necessarily always and only Either-Or,
dipolar rather than merely bipolar,
ego/ecother zero-sum balancing perspective.

Just as EitherOr follows WinLose suboptimizing Game Theory ecosystemic outcomes,
while BothAnd follows WinWin regenerative-nutritional reiterative outcomes
for EarthGame Day and Night cooperative perpetual continuance.

So, suppose,
just suppose BothAnd,
for the sake of creolizing cooperative simplicity,
Republican Nationalistic Agri-valuing Business
were merely an appositional creative tension
with Democratizing EarthMatriarchal/Patriarchal PermaCulturing Design
and EcoPolitical Planning
for CoOperative Earth Ownership and ReGenerative Optimization Governance,
still including some degenerative-decompositional functions,
yet without deliberately recreating a runaway waste stream
nor a runaway personal, family, community,
or national nutritional, financial, or health-assurance deficit.

That’s what’s been up and down with my bicameral Yang/Yin mind.
What’s been co-evolving of and for and with you and yours?

Managing HealthCare DisInvestments

What did you talk about
in your Anger Management Class today,
dear Yang?

Crisis survival skills.

As opposed to opportunity optimization skills,
I would guess?

I suppose so.
Like when someone is screaming and threatening to remove your health insured head
it might be a good idea to just take off your clothes
and walk away.
Or, the next time my elected government officials
get togethr to debate
how quickly we can further dismantle my health care
as a right of humane residency on planet Earth,
I might distract myself
by banging my head against the nearest wall
or table top.

Oh, that sounds not at all like our discussion today
in my Conflict Resolution Class.

Well, dearest Yin,
that’s probably because conflict resolution
is about opportunities for health-thrival skills;
not pathological crisis survival.
We operate on more of a two to six year
short-term re-election for more bicameral head-banging
timeline.
So, what’s your big take-away
from your world of conflict resolution
and healthy diplomacy today?

We’re working on mindful listening skills
right now.

Such as…?

Like when someone is screaming at you
about how we can’t afford to provide care for people like you
who have the nerve to choose to be poor,
and sick,
and reside in the United States,
all at the same really inconvenient
pre-existing conditions time,
then we should listen for what we can agree with,
or at least might agree with for now,
and set aside the head banger statements
that drive us insane
for their lack of Earth-centric mindfulness.

You mean selfishness.

We could go with that word
if you prefer, dear Yang,
at least for now.

Good,
so I need not bang my head
about your codependent nurturing ways,
nor just walk away in naked disgust?

No, baby,
if you need to take off your clothes
I could do the same
and then we could show and tell our way
through more advanced mutual care-giving skills
and healthier, more regenerative,
co-mindfulness.

Why does your seductive version of conflict resolution
always end with getting naked together?

Because,
unlike your anger management skills,
it’s not the way I would choose to start
in response to all that screaming
and fist shaking
about being both nakedly poor
and vulnerably sick
during the Republican AntiPoverty Nationalist Reform Movement.

By Reform
you mean Decapitation, right?

If you prefer that word,
I could not live without it right now,
dear Yang.

Yin: unitarian (co-operative) ethical relationships

Sacred Ecology of Game Theory

The healthiest and wealthiest ecological objective
of designing and playing life
is to optimize potential for continuing reiterative plays and transactions
as long as possible.

Win-Lose
EitherEgo/OrEco
ZeroSum monopolies,
such as bottom-line competitive capitalism
and bullying
quickly devolve,
diminish down to one supremacist ego-political Winner.
Yet then this relentlessly Might Makes Right game is over,
and so this Winner only wins to lose the entire cooperative gaming network.

Win-Win
BothEgo/AndEco
NotNot Positive Zero-Sum
double-binding equivalency norms,
such as Golden Ruled,
optimize options of Tit-for-Tat reiterative continuous healthy
and “wrapping in” or “creolizing” inclusive,
gifting-forward,
delayed mutual reward,
robust continuity,
unto perpetuity of this same naturally cooperative gaming network.

Yin-Messianism is too often confused with over-Yanged zealotry,
with Win-Lose Zionism as nationalistic patriotism,
in which
should our nationalistic pretensions of elitism Lose,
such as losing a Vietname War, for example,
then YHWH has also lost,
suffered a demi-death.
Win-Lose zealotry of nationalism will,
if too over-grazing successful,
predict its own idolatrous fall from sacred grace.

Continous matriarchal-cooperative creolism, polyculturalism, multiculturalism
lies between Yin-rooted defenseless messianism
and Yang over-shot. totalitarian nationalistic, defensive zealotry.

It is possible to have a healthy interdependent national ientity culture,
but it would be as matriotic as patriotic,
it would not be discontinuously-supremacist nationalistic,
it would be co-messianic,
multiculturally cooperative messianic,
looking for syncretic uniting nations
nurturing healthy Earth climates
and landscapes with polyculturally regenerative outcomes.

It is possible to avoid messiah complexes,
whether personally or ecopolitically public as naked elitist patriots,
by recognizing we are a co-messianic patriotic/matriotic species
for waging Bodhisattva peace and mutual mercy.

Messiah complexes are essentially and idolatrously egocentric,
about what I can do to save the less free and/or loyal and/or pure world;
co-messianism is about what we are One-MindBody doing together
to co-redeem this creolizing recreative EarthTribe.

“[Elitist-purist] permaculture is not the [polyculturally cooperative game] landscape,
or even the skills of [healthy] organic gardening,
sustainable [ecotherapeutic consuming-producing] farming,
energy [informational] efficient [natural] building
or eco-village
[or eco-international matriarchal-cooperative ownership] development
as such.
But it [co-messianic polyculturally positive-healthy outcomes]
can be [cooperatively and transculturally] used
to [democratically] design,
[nondually co-arise] establish,
manage and [co-empathically trust] improve
these and all other [double-binding WinWin] efforts
made by [YangLeft/YinRight balancing] individuals,

and communities
[and nations]
towards a sustainable [multiculturally healthy
and democratically safe,
co-redemptive ecopolitical] future.”

Matriotic Trust

The organic building of a coordinated artist
begins with reconstructing competitively clumsy LeftBrain technicians.

Whether learning to play the piano
or learning to communicate in some new language
or learning to adopt,
and/or adapt,
norms and nuances of some new cultural environment,
human nature starts, and started, with RightBrain
as inductive unconscious autonomic pre-programmed DNA/RNA receptivity,
double-bind fractal-octave resonance,
to and with and as externally and internally triggered changes,
and builds out deductively
reductively decomposing complexities of some performance system
we notice in some other,
including other humans,
we are attracted to in some positive empathic-trust way,
inviting further trust.

But, stumbling across an anomalous situation,
a creature,
human or not ambiguously felt
and has become historically suspect,
we distrust due to negative threat,
aggressive competitions
where we would have normally anticipated cooperation;
or maybe just too loud and stinky
to mutually ignore in some tolerant kind of way.

From perennially positive systems
soliciting and supporting our further WinWin nutritional relationships,
and from our negatively toxic attritions,
our deductive LeftBrain builds labels
to reduce the whole gestalt
into its cause-effect cycling and spiraling parts
until we can predict
to our satisfaction,
and sometimes hypnotizing horror,
how to regenerate/degenerate this behavior with our own mindbodies
through deliberate,
step by consecutive technical step,
building technique until this new pattern,
sequence of rhythms within interdependently cooperative performance,
becomes what we call “second nature”
internalized,
as automatic as finding our ways back home.

But, this second nature,
whether learning to perform a song
that is also a compelling and resonant emotive narration,
or venomously screaming threats at anyone you perceive as unlike your own egocentric self,
in some unenlightened way,
becomes incorporated into Left and Right Brain reiterative appositional flow.
Technically learned performance
moves from Left-deductive
toward Right-inductive co-arising nondual
nature-nurtured habit of “second nature” expression,
thought,
activation of a mastered behavioral-affective constellation
of interior/exterior activity,
as natural as writing with your left
or right
dominant hand.

Given all the above,
when and why would becoming a violent aggressor
become an ego-acceptable,
LeftBrain deductive dominant choice
of encultured instinctive response to “non-kin”
as opposed to “not yet kin”?

How would one become attracted to,
and sustained by,
becoming a dissonance-creating and expanding bully,
an aggressor against potentially immigrating strangers as aliens,
labelled collectives of ecosystemic individuals, hives, nests, pests
who have not themselves ever actually exhibited threatening behavior
toward yourself,
or those you already perceive as “kin”?

It seems that terrorism and bullying
might also be rabidly aggressive behavioral-affective negative patterns
which can be as competitively-reiteratively contagious
as cooperative trust
in healthier patterns of becoming together
rather than thrusting and parrying apart.

In WinWin as NonZero ReGenerative Game Theory,
and in Feminist EcoPolitical CoOperative ReProduction Theory,
learning resonant-positive nurturing behavioral norms
anticipates nonzero-sum, nonpatriarchal-competitive, outcomes,
WinWin bilateral equivalence
that normatively anticipates pay-it-forward more of the same
as long as everyone follows Left-Right learned
behavioral-affective Golden Rule matriarchal-maturation patterns
toward mutually nutritional “second nature” norms.

What is actually Elder brain stem “first nature”
is profoundly matriarchal-cooperative ownership and governance
except under unusual survival Win-Lose pressures of past experience
as environmentally reconceived.

It is here
in anomalous primordial seas
of survival of the “I Win so You Lose” fittest
where might makes our ego’s self-optimizing right
to survive today
despite knowing that doing so by accessible aggressive means
predicts more of the negative same,
or even more escalating,
risk of loss tomorrow.
But, this is not normative “first matriarchal-love nature”
just as it is not first-nurture,
for if zero-sum survivalist toxicity
were our AntiGolden Rule primordial soup
from which we arrived at this time on Earth,
then human LeftBrain dominant nature
could never have evolved decompositional technique at all.

Declaring private or very public wars against alien terrorists
is a suboptimizing zero-sum choice
to play a negative LoseLife-LoseLife Game
unless no nonzero-sum option has been more diplomatically learned
that we have not yet responsively tried.

The zero-sum “I must win” so “You must lose” of Either-Or bottom-line producer-over-consumer-oriented capitalism,
with competitive ownership rather than cooperative ownership WinLose assumptions,
is a sub-optimizing economic and political performer,
still trying to relearn our first-nature matriarch-nurturing health and safety.

Capitalism as might-makes-right evolutionary theory
is patriarchally LeftBrain dominantly deductively mislearned,
technologically over-shot,
ecologically over-grazed ecopolitical error
in its unmitigated incarnation
away from baseline cooperative matriarchal stewardship
and nurturing co-management roots.

Ecologic,
like sacred syncretic Logos and Mythos,
is prime relationally,
primally Original Matriarchal Source,
WinWin,
notnot zerosum,
for the same reason economic transactions
and politically positive relationships between kin,
extending out to neighbors
and those perceived more ambiguously as extending-extensive biological kin,
are rooted in continuous Left-Right ego/eco-balancing extensions
from co-empathic trust as positive and normative health-roots,
embryonically matriarch-regenerative,
while actively anti-pathic, sociopathic distrusts
are suboptimizingly negative and violently degenerative.

Economic-political distrust’s sole positive evolutionary function
is in decompositional hindsight,
to break poor outcomes down
into their devolving cause-effect interrelationships
over reiterative reactive time,
to remember how these healthy relationships and wealthy transactions
of equivalently grateful WinWin
pay-life-forward communication broke down,
or simply never fully emerged
due to socio-political and economic climates
of ego-over-competitive neglect.

“the conscious-unconscious [YoungerLeftYang-ElderRightYin] cooperative interplay
also applies in full to moral behaviors.
Moral [cooperative] behaviors are a skill set,
acquired over repeated practice sessions
and over a long time,
informed by consciously articulated [LeftBrain languaged] principles and reasons
but otherwise “second-natured”
[back and forth] into the cognitive [Left, Right] unconscious [balance].”
Antonio Demasio, “Self Comes To Mind, Constructing the [WinWin ReGenerative] Conscious Brain”, p. 287

“I see permaculture as
the use of [WinWin Game] systems thinking
and [notnot 0-cooperative] principles
that provide the organizing [regenerative-positive] framework
for implementing the above vision [of nutritional abundance].
It draws together the diverse ideas,
skills
and ways of [cooperative ownership as governing stewardship] living
which need to be [ecopolitically] rediscovered
and [regeneratively] developed
in order to empower us to move
from being [co]dependent consumers
to becoming [matriarchally] responsible

GrandMother Tree

Miracles of GrandMother WinWin Tree
begin with her purgative peaceful birth.
For at this time,
so long before her cycling rings of time began,
we see her original seed
and this seed’s less original composting environment,
and within this brief timeless moment,
before her WinWin becoming,
these each appear to decompose LoseLose into each other,
yet fertilely so,
beginning GrandMother Tree’s long waging of peace-filling rings,
recycling time’s historic four fractal-dialectic seasons
of regenerativity.

Once begun LoseLose zero-sum balancing,
GrandMother revolves through days and nights
emerging relentless WinWin creolizing root systems
of zero-sum regenerativity.
For each new ring another year of cooperative becoming.
Mostly cooperative,
and only minorly competitive,
or becoming decays to no longer being,
yet even this continuous transition
is not equivalent to springing back to prior springs.
She cannot go home again
because she carries her original home
within her still small skeletal seed regenerating within,
speaking of past purgations and migrations
yet all while extending further rooting down
ever richer deeper cooperative
health-seeking WinWin system sensors.

And so, at last,
GrandMother Tree begins to fade from Yangish life
toward Yin-emptying death.
Whether fast, through uprooting hurricane,
or slow, through slowing drying aging defense/offense loss of balance,
her woody organs disintegrate
creating creole compost perfect for her seeds
and, even more richly,
for seeds of her adult children,
now become intrinsic to
her densely rich WinWin forested environment.

Her forest floor
each spring
producing LoseLose metamorphic creolizations
of seeds and composts
remembering each WinWin peace-filling other
GrandMother Tree winds and voices reweaving nutrients of time
as regenerative ecopolitical space
still system rooting for waging peace,
ever more cooperative.

Waging LoseLose war
prefers competitive discontinous imbalance,
as waging WinWin peace requires root systems
of cooperative continuous balance.

Patriotism as AntiOtherism

Paul Tillich wrote
“nationalism hates and must always hate Judaism and prophetic Christianity.”

When he spoke of nationalistic patriotism
he was thinking of fascism,
as the logical conclusion
of those more loyal to a specific supremacist space and time
than faithful to our more inclusively holonic creolization history
of a bicamerally regenerative species.

Nationalism too quickly devolves into idolatry of WinLose zero-sum gamesmanship,
elitist triumphalism as narrow-minded Chosen People
rather than WinWin nonzero-sum co-redemptive economists
of mutual messiahship.

Tillich’s ‘prophetic’ Judeo-Christian
would find U.S. nationalistic ‘evangelical’ Christians
unredemptively anti-prophetic;
merely fundamentalist EitherWinOrLose puppets of rabid capitalism
and, in more viral triumphalistic cultish forms,
also explicitly anti-Semitic
and anti-all-other-religions
and anti-historical-cultural evolution of traditional norms and values,
so anti-anything other than missionary position heterosexual expression.

Rabid ‘evangelistic’ Christianity
is anything but co-redemptively prophetic.
A messianic Christian evangelist
spreads WinWin good gospel news
through cooperative teaching and listening
and collaborative mentoring
about how we can grow this regenerative species
toward mutual transubstantiating holiness
which seems to have to do with transliterative enculturation skills
and nothing at all to do with lip service
to an “Our Shit Don’t Stink” triumphalistic creed.

When non-prophetic ‘evangelical’ Christians
examined Donald Trump’s intentions
as U.S. Presidential potential,
and declared his intentions for the patriotic elite as “pure,”
that meant purely capitalist WinLose nationalism;
saying nothing about the prophetic Judaism
of the all-inclusive loving Gospels.
Christians, Jews, and perhaps especially Islamic-terrified,
must comprehend
and resist
and declaim any notion that Republican Nationalist WeWin-SoYouLose ecopolitics
is anything less than anti-Messianic WeWin-OnlyIf YouAlsoWin,
which is co-redemptive,
global,
ecologically healthy,
ecopolitics.

The democratization of globalizing love
is a huge history of spiritual experience,
communication for regeneration,
regeneration for ecological reconnecting,
again and again and again
Earth’s health with anthrocentric ‘pure’ and ‘loyal’ wealth.

To call the cult of fundamentalist WinLose nationalistic patriotism
“evangelistic Christianity”
is idolatrous elitism
taking out a promising contract against healthy human nature
to hit absolute zero bulls-eye bottom-line
LoseLose absence of syncretic supremacy,
promise to anti-prophetically gloat about absent-mindedly fiddling
while Earth burns;
declaring our vast anti-all-others absence of hope
for continuing climates of regenerative health
in the face of degenerating climate pathologies.

If you are familiar with the Wharton School,
as is Donald Trump
and his considerable too-glutonous billionaire CEO companions,
then you would probably know
