On Christian Evangelical Charismatic Republican Futures

I grew up with rural Michigan white red-neck evangelical root systems.
These did not always feed my multicultural self/other liberation of the GLBTQ subcultural root system
for regeneratively healthy instincts,
yet I learned to survive within this fundamentalist-alien-straight Christian White anthro-culturally supremacist climate of heterosexuality
not understood as a fully regenerative multiculturally organic sexuality,
most certainly inclusive of GLBTQ,
among full-octave color rainbows of exegetically trusted truth
with beautiful ecopolitical dynamics.

My staunchly farmerish fundamentalist-nutritionist Christian parents
would no more know what to do with a Donald Trump as a Presidential Republican National Party Candidate
to become a White Male Republican Christian Preferably-Rural Fundamentalist EcoPolitical President of the United States,
running against incumbent General Dwight Eisenhower,
however I think he probably would not even have been an appropriate topic for polite, much less nutritional
as integratively-spiritually appropriate for healthy developmental conversation.

Despite these agrarian Republican root-systemic memories
during my ecopolitically developing GLBTQ adolescence,
not a lot of people have asked
what I have seen and heard and smelled
within the approximately 200 years of tension
between a Republican/Elitist-WinLose NatureSpirit EcoPolitical Conservatism,
hoping to win for ego’s embodied nature
even if they must thereby lose our multiculturing spiritual-experiential Salvation,
thereby a dark anger/fear mark against WinWin regenerative ecological health.

Today, I see this continuing Republican tendency
to distance economic and political elites
from our more humble,
yet somehow not too fearful-angry,
maybe touched by paranoia,
especially about the natural supremacy of heterosexually ecopolitical parents,
refusing to see possibilities for multiculturally ecological parenting as more optimally spiritually-nutritionally rooted in Jesus’ Creation Story TimeLine.

By unremarkably co-arising dipolar contrariness,
the currently prevailing Democratic national through local nutrition strategy
of looking for opportunities of and for multicultural trust-building,
to permaculturally broaden a shared ecopolitical ecology of health
becoming together ego/eco bicameral-binary empowering
in a more dynamic healthy kind of GLBTQ thru Z kind of way.

While the historically unthinkable Republican Nominated Choice
labeled Donald Trump,
represents a remarkably not-Christian fundamentalist conundrum of a non-choice,
his own sense of supremacist entitlement
to interpret and prophecy fools of self-condemning hypocrisy
carries some resonance
for those premillennial die-hard evangelical White Republicans
where ecopolitical faith
is rooted in becoming stronger
than those who disagree with us,
while Hillary Clinton’s embodiment of Democrat
cultivates co-empathic trust
among constituencies feeling disconnected from multicultural promise
of healthy democratic inclusion of diversity
as an intrinsically therapeutic positive
for ecological climate-healthywealthy outcomes,
more ecotherapeutic
than the more anthro-elitist monoculturing ecopolitics,
LeftBrain way too Male TestosteroneThymine Dominant elitism
of Old School Rural White 1950s Michigan Republicanism.

Today’s Republican has upstaged Fundamentalism
with more excessively climatic Rabid Paranoid Terrorist
WinLose-politically and economically preferred proclivities,
but not quite a full-blown climate LoseLose death-wish rabidity
searching out invisible Climate Win prospects for regenerative health,
while nakedly investing in
further dissonant discomforting cognitive-affective suboptimally degenerative suffering multiculturally rainbow-rooted DNA/RNA ribonucleic systems.

Donald Trump was chosen over other nutritional-enspiriting alternatives,
chosen to lead through condemning those unlike him
as false prophets of hypocrisy and cunning
toward unhealthy liberating multicultural power-sharing intents,
sometimes vengefully judgmental
of us lesser non-elites,
now both evangelical White non-elite would-be farmers and feminists
on around the growing rainbow of multiculturing margins,
on through the cystosine-nurturing more LeftRight ecobalanced half of the U.S. adult nature relations,
and just as oxymoronic to be an Evangelical Christian Republican
as it is to be a Transgender Republican.

For Jesus of Nazareth, the poor and marginalized,
homeless and hungry,
and especially their children,
were more sympathetic comrades than Monoculturing Elitist Pharisees
they were sadusees, too, like us right now,
having been robbed of our parents’ Republican Supremacist paranoid-competitive belonging,
nurturing ecopolitical as ecological longing,
no longer deep learning paranoia
for interior and exterior ecopathologies of YHWHGod’s unkind impersonal
lack of omnipotent love,
our unresolved theological problem of evil NonRepublican NonChristians,
and why similar rainy outdoor wedding crappy days
fall on fully invested Republican Christians,
who never quite fully believe in the power of a personally-invested God the Good Father
in exactly the same unreflected way
from that nightmare’s dream on through death’s dualdark portal.

What happens now that our Republican EmpireBuilder
has become seen with too-naked vulnerability
to collectively hide our own egocentric predative paranoia from ourselves,
fear and anger about radically full-speciating inclusion
of ecopolitical Democrats,
regenerating empowerment’s healthier climates of pronoia liberation?

Perhaps positive psychology
as therapeutic ecopolitical judgment
on behalf of mutual help
rather than continuing to seek power
through mutually condemning judgments,
competitive WinLose ecopolitical choices,
rebirthing faith in higher WinWin power
optimizing Earth as Tribal Home,
no longer anawim of our own optimally organic Body of Christ potential.

Christians
truly believing in Christ’s continuing empathic trust  in eco-redemptive physical/mental health.

GeoPolitical Landslide of Love

If there were no compassion for Donald Trump,
then he would not be where he is right now.

So, what would it mean to bury U.S. Trumpism,
not with the condemning verdict of not worthy
but rather worthy of better treatment
than to further empower ecopolitics of competition over cooperation,
as if this were more historically and exegetically conservative
within Earth’s regeneratively cooperative
more than degeneratively competitive
subclimates within organic health and security
histories of ecological creation story balance
and nutritional economics
and multiculturally empowering ecosystemic politics of pregenetic time.

To bury Trumpism with a landslide of love
for cooperative ecopolitics
from which Donald could enjoy more robust health
within our more resonant peace with ecojustice
Earth Climate Rights CoInvestment
of love for healthy wealth,
continuing to multiculturally and polypathically revolve,
transmillennially green through ultra-violet,
more acidic, cool, co-empathic,
better, more active, ecological listeners,
bicamerally cooperative discerners,
anticipating ecopolitical landslides of Left/Right cooperative love.

Resonating RightBrain Politics

Says Csikszentmihalyi,
“Social scientists
(Abraham Maslow, Lawrence Kohlberg, Jane Loevinger, [Ken Wilber, Edward Podvoll, Julian Jaynes, Jack Kornfield, Richard Dawkins, Clare Graves, Carl Jung] and James Fowler)
describe a dialectical motion
between [Yang-ego-form] differentiation
and [Yin-eco-logical function] integration,
between turning attention inward [Right]
and then outward [Left],
between valuing the self [Animus-Eros-TaoEmpty]
and then the larger [Anima-Agape-Synergy-Integrity-Interdependent-Beloved EcoPolitical PolyPathic ReGenerative DNA/RNA Solidarity] community.”

Adds Don Beck and Christopher Cowan,
like Christopher Columbus and Albert Einstein,
exploring their positive WinWin Thought Experiments,
about when and where and why and why notnot now
equals both past and best-trending future ecological relationships
of 3D space in 1D bicameral LeftRight temporal Empty/Interdependent
dipolar co-arising=co-gravitating
Metaphysically Enlightening Core Commons PermaCulturing Languaged Time.

“One [fractal-color Yang-Boddhisatva Warrior] family is designated with warm colors [climates]
(BEIGE,
RED,
ORANGE,
YELLOW)
which represent Express-self,
‘I'[ego]-oriented MEMEs.
The other group is [co-arisingly-dipolar CoMessianic-YinYin=notnotYang] assigned cool colors
(PURPLE,
BLUE,
GREEN,
TURQUOISE)
and are the Sacrifice-self,
‘we'[eco]-oriented [notnot nurturing-regenerate] set.”

“If too much [ego-Left] ‘me’-ism is the problem,
then a form of ‘we'[0-root core prime Yang/Yin relational]-ness
will then be required
to restore [ecological=ecopolitical] balance.
If the ‘we’ is excessive,
then liberation
[also synergetic integrating climate-resonance]
of some ‘me’
becomes attractive
if [cognitive-affective] harmony [as ecopolitical health]
is desired.”

My LeftBrain climate
longs for Revolutionary Resonance

Beck and Cowan echo eco,
“The shift toward Communal/Collective coming to peace
[RightBrain Interdependent EcoConsciousness] within
requires a [cooperatively networking] radar-like sense [nutrition receptors]
so external [ecopolitical] messages can be picked up quickly
and [non-paranoid] accurately,
[resonantly resolving exegetically redundant] magnified,
and feedback incorporated
to insure [ecosystemic DNA/RNA health v pathology] compliance.”

“The shift toward Individual[LeftYangEgoDominance]/Elite[Positively Revolutionarily Inclusive-MultiCulturing-RightYin EcoNurturance Empowerment]
move against and take [Yang/Yin Balance/Octave-Harmonic] control
requires an internalized [0-sum-soul-core-commons-conscious] gyroscope-like intelligence
[common to all forms and functions of Earth’s fractally-inscribed, climated, seasoned, maturing, regenerating, evolving, revolving natural systems]
the self-directed compass needed to explore new [paradigmatic] territories,
sail into uncharted [poly-empathic nutritional v toxic] waters,
and break with the safety of [exegetical LeftBrain languaged
reductionist anthrocentric prejudice
against ElderExegetical trusted as beautiful forms with ecopolitical functions,
ecological-analogical climate-health-balancing reasons

Rob Brezsny’s Pronoia calls such synergetic dialectical emergence
“The Outlaw Catalog of Cagey Optimism”
yet others above may recognize dynamic nature-spirit echoes
with Positive Psychology as notnot paranoid,
an empathic sense of trust as ecological EarthTruth
and healthy ecopolitical beauty
through active ecologically co-operative regenesis.

Pronoia’s Catalog includes
“AGGRESSIVE [MUTUAL-TRUST ECOPOLITICALLY THERAPEUTIC] SENSITIVITY.
Animated
by a strong determination
to be[come even more] receptive and [co]empathic.”

“ALIGNMENT WITH THE [0-ROOTED EMPTY] INFINITY
OF THE [ETERNAL INTEGRITY] MOMENT.”

“BASKING IN ELDER [RIGHT-BRAIN] WISDOM.
A state of expansive [nurturing] ripeness
achieved through listening
to the [creation] stories
of elders [especially pre-DNA root-ecosystemic].”

“BLASPHEMOUS REVERENCE.
Acting on the knowledge
that the most efficacious [regenerative] form of devotion
to the Divine Wow
[regenerative nature-spirit balance
of recreating well-timed climates of health,
and not so much despair and condemnation]
is [ethologically] tinctured with playful
or mischievous behavior
[good-humored resonance]
that prevents the [further] buildup
of [LeftBrain AnthroCentrically Dominant Enculturing] fanaticism
[egocentric fundamentalism
ethnocentric and parental-transgenerational terrorism
struggling with ecopolitically self-defeating LoseLose paranoia].”

“COMIC [COSMIC] INTROSPECTION.
Being fully aware of your own foibles
while still loving yourself tenderly
and maintaining confidence in your ability
to give [back our]your specific genius
to the [bicamerally struggling] world.”

Left Dominants
remain climatically worried
that cognitive-affective ecopolitical dissonance
will not unfold
our ecologically healthy EarthTribe climate.

Prime Spiral of Climate Health Dynamics

Beck and Cowan, with Graves,
wrote the Spiral Dynamics of memes,
or cognitive-affective enculturation climates
of Left-Right as Yang-Yin spiraling equivalence,
or maybe not,
I’m still not quite sure
how much I am seeing and hearing into their words.

For example, from page 56,
I was going through their evolving octave of historical colors
of humane-divine time,
beginning with
“Beige-a state of nature”
“Purple-[spiritually dynamic] mysterious [sometimes enlightening] and frightening”
“Red-[LeftYang dominant] tough and dangerous like a [WinLose revolutionary] jungle”
“Blue-directed by a higher [healthy regenerative v pathologically degenerative, decompositional ecopolitical as ecological] power”
“Orange-full of viable [optimally WinWin cooperative-integrative] alternatives”
“Green- shared [climate health v pathology] habit[at] of all humanity [within, as all of Earth’s nature-spirit ecosystems without]”
“Yellow-at risk of chaotic [climate health] collapse [into further climate pathologies]”
“Turquoise- a single living [0-sum octave PrimeMetric ecosystemic] entity”
an opportunity for complex multicultural
ecopolitical
ecological
cooperative
network evolution development,
where ‘yellow’ paranoid yin-repressed RightBrain depressives
“learn how to be [pathology of anger/fear] free
but also [regenerative-health] principled
seek[ing] the [bicameral turquoise Tao] order
beneath [and deeply within, and above, both out and in, midway,
inbetween, wu wei] Earth’s apparent [cosmological dualdark notnot co-gravitational] chaos.

Maybe there is something in the water
I take with my inhaled herbal medicines
producing such rich resonance of healthy fragrance
with spiraling ecopolitically developing multicultural color strings of remembering
co-empathic trust’s evolution
through regenerate humane/divine enculturation
emerging Ego/Eco nurturing timelessly co-present ecoconsciousness
of Tao-Tipping Points of nutritional v toxic climate experiential times.

Political Messages for ReGenerating Time

This revolutionary message
is brought to you by
the
TransMillennial EarthTribe CoOperative,
your international ecopolitical sponsor,
speciating Earth’s New PostMillennially Silent EcoLogical Majority.

We think we begin to both comprehend,
in a B. Fullerian metaphysical sense,
and co-empathically trust,
in an economic and political science nutritional sensory sense,
and enjoy
and also find beautifully nourishing and nurturing
your/our spiritual and naturally cooperative family values,
Lake WoeBeGone Golden Ages,
Aloha Paradise Gardens,
Namaste Organic Heavens of Stars of and for GodHead YHWH Light Story ReCreation.

We are looking for political leaders of light
able to give voice to our longing for richer and deeper nutritionally healthy lives,
belonging to, rather than longing for, happy healthy wives and husbands,
regenetically robust Positive Humanitarian Psychology Global parents
of unbounding (0) sum-soul-core bicameral wisdom,
practical and nonjudgmental cooperative-trusting ecopolitical support,
and never ever victims of self-and-other condemnation.

So, dreaming of healthier kids,
with healthy dreams
capable of delivering robustly healthy grandkids,
and on…

We want and hope for nothing more or less
than a happy life prospering positive faith
that tomorrow will bring more smiles of creative,
effective,
intelligent,
positive,
socially skilled,
mentally and physically healthy,
and graceful more than clumsy,
positive more than negative,
cooperatively surrounded by warmth of empathic trust,
faith, love,
rather than competing with each other to survive
further re-enactments of premillennial WinLose
devolving paranoid nationalistic Yang LeftBrain Dominant lives.

We, both Right and Left,
enjoy good robust food,
and fragrances and sights and fertile-polypathic thoughts,
chemistries,
pheromones,
diastolic climates of health
emerging from static decomposition of competitive wealth
in and of and for Earth’s dipolar spiral of Right/Left
Yin/Yang
ecospirit-bilateral-egonature
nurture understory
herstory
Earth’s ReGenerate NotNot Self-Optimization EnCulturation
TransMillennial Strings of Fertile-Evolutioning WinWin BioNurturing Time.

We, the children of Light evolving good water
then healthy-fertile soil,
want reassurance we need never worry that our supply of healthy edibles
should ever become our last shared multicultural climax,
now hopelessly and pathologically lost
forever,
now including tomorrow.

We grow in comprehending impatience with corrupt competitions of WinLose Gamers,
suffering from public veniality,
hypocrisy of nationalist politicians from dinosaur pasts
unable to deliver any hope of positive faith,
or even the basic ecopolitical wisdom of WinWin ecological evolutioning theory
of time’s nature/exterior and spirit/interior bicameral revolutions.

We are exhausted with absence
of strong-nurtured hope for future healthy generations
of EarthCentric bicameral humanization
of Time’s Earth-bound continuing quiet revolution,
Spiral-Spinning PolyNutritional Seasons,
interior/exterior dipolar co-arising enthymematic dialectical landscapes,
climates,
Left-Exterior with Right Elder Interior-Historic
DNA
back through RNA root systemic nutritional light/dark octave-frequency ecologies
of bicameral mindbody enculturation;
Earth’s Creation Story
as told LeftBrain dominant languaged,
now impatient with past economic and political experiences
of negative,
sometimes a little paranoid,
feelings and thoughts
about corruption and private/public competing hypocrisies,
and maybe even the occasional sinister,
Old Boys Network,
conspiracy theory, or two,
and then there are the worries about liberal politicians
who know about lawyering
but not about working with,
and/or valuing,
skillful hands and legs
and bodies working to make stuff
that everybody needs
so everybody can eat
and have a place to call home,
with some friends,
and healthy air and water,
so some forests and parks and hiking space,
and mountains that still have glaciers,

And maybe a nice monitor,
and a wood stove for winter,
but we would also like to have family and neighborhood histories
for ourselves
and for our kids,
where people enjoy our back yards
and front yard boulevard gardens together,
thrive on deep ecopolitically rich ambiance,
resonant cooperativity,
laughter and loving mutual respect
and regard,
between cultures and language choices and dialects and generations
of multiculturing species.

We want to be surrounded by others with good healthy judgment,
to be used to help,
to become even more kind and thoughtful,
and certainly mutually-cooperatively respectful;
and not ever guilty of using cognitive-affective judgment,
ecopolitical discernment,
to condemn ourselves,
or anyone we know and care for,
and ever have known and cared for
within the entire line of our regenetic memory stream.

What we don’t get
is why some of the TransMillennial Silent Majority…

Oh, we just got it.
OK, so, what we don’t appreciate
is why some of the remaining PreMillennial Silent Majority
cannot see Hillary Clinton as someone who might share our Vision Quest
for a healthier,
more robust,
nutritionally happy life,
and we don’t get how any self-respecting member of the EarthTribe Fundamental Faith in Healthy ReGenerative Economic and Politically Nurturing and Empowering Services
to actively grow more CoOperative Economics and Political EcoSystems,
and services,
health production and nutritional reassurance,
and regenerative consumer safety and nutritional security and defense rights
at optimally sustainable ecological multicultural levels;
would vote for a political leader
who hopes for four years to have his WinLose CEO way
with his formerly rich and fertile nation
of hypocritically religious pussy losers,
as he seems to see us now.

So why would his Win
not make us self-selecting assets for further molestation?

We would prefer a leader who recognizes we are both predator and prey,
over one who chooses predator
so we become prey.

ReWeaving Ta(o)ist EcoPolitical Health

On what metaphysical, natural yet spiritual, principle
might agree
an ecologist,
a Christian fundamentalist,
and an Islamic terrorist?

Earth’s enculturing history has been, economically and politically speaking,
more nutritiously regenerative
than pathologically degenerative,
or we could not have become recreative regenetic bicameral identities,

Tempests in Teapots

I’m not out to change my world
or yours,
but I do believe we are in this world together
to refine our collective regenerate health status,
to resolve our climate therapies
for healthier economies
and politics of mind and body ecologies.

I am thinking of not even being in any more
for those who only have a yearn for climate change,
as this is too ambiguous for me.
I need commitments for and to cooperative healthy change,
not just any pathological change,
not just competing changes
but revisions of the unraveling health
that is our shared EarthBirth Right.

Keep your stupid rites of change, please.
Show me some smart cooperative ecopolitical health choices and plans
for more therapeutic landscapes,
internal and external,
not more escalating climate change
but revolutionary resonant refinements of climate enculturing health;
not more Business as Usual rabid-paranoid-terrorizing climate sickness.

I’m not out to change the world;
I am totally in for and with a renewed therapeutic Earth
of and for all.
Earth’s multicultural interdependent Tribes and Species,
elements and systems and networks
and regenerative healthy life principles
of resonant balance and resolving harmonies.

I’m too old for more mindless change
and yet never too young for more mindful ecoconsciousness
of healthy ecopolitics.

I’m not out to change you or me
but I’m in for refining relationships with you,
within me,
with Earth,
our shared blue-green Home.

Don’t talk to me about change
until you show me how you have managed your carbon footprint
for your economic and political campaigns
as evidence of how our future together
might thrive a more global (0) carbon footprint
as a healthy regenerative species,
instead of an overpopulating degenerative falling apart race toward hate.

We’re an evolving teapot
long and thin.
Egos are our handle
while Earth is our spout.
That is our ecology spiraling out.

When we get all steamed up
LeftEgo’s brain shouts out
while Tipping Points recover
health’s abundant love flows out.

Healthy Hope

Your help is their hope,
said Ronald McDonald.

Your help is their health,
said Robert Woods Johnson.

Hope is healthier than despair.
This is not a mental health professional secret.
Why does this same connection
seem so disconnected in our public sectors,
our town greens and reds and blues?

Cooperative hope is ecopolitically healthy,
growing co-empathic trust.
Competing despairs of ecopolitical dissonance
decay into mutual immunity,
unweaving hopeful fabrics of and for a global EarthTribe.

Your help is our healthier hope.

Locker Room Intimacies

I don’t recall all that much talk in locker rooms.
These are typically quiet as reflective libraries
unless involved in team sports.

Then locker room talk may review a well played game,
but, again, those played less fortunately,
less familiarly,
not really too much to say,
sometimes thinking of other more nutritionally feeding things,
people,
places in time’s perpetually receding memory.

Rooms for locking up over yanged secrets
are not known for either quality or quantity of affluent speech.
These are more about actions outside these locking up rooms,
reveling to reveal ourselves and others
an embarrassment of self-ridiculing riches.

But, I do recall
I thought I could hear which brand of ecopolitical life
a locker room voice would choose,
usually somewhere between
raping victims only good for bullying
and standing in solidarity with teams and leagues and games
where we learn more from losing together
than winning apart
in superhero myths and antics
of unfettered self-supremacy,
hubris of engorged,
yet over-rated disengaged,
penises with hands for grabbing and taking
what can only be given as an intimate gift.

In some ways
we are all locked rooms,
craving intimacy
that causes tremors
terrible tremblings,
not terror
and yet terror’s opposite.

What names we have found for ecstasy
of unlocked talking and walking,
playing and working
and wondering how could ecstasy sustain
through decades of morning and night time
dressing to undress routines
and all invitations in between.
