Sacred Ecology Channel

“…a network.., in the local [RightBrain] language,
is called ‘mandala’.
I’m more [LeftBrain] comfortable
with the word ‘ecology,’
but they’re very closely overlapping ideas.
At the root,
is the notion that ideas [like energy and climates] are interdependent,
interacting, that ideas [unlike regenerative climates,
organic nutritional processes
like evolutions of
Earth and Ego and Anthro Creation Stories] live and die.
The ideas [with co-arising negative feelings of distrust
as cognitive-affective dissonance]
that die do so
because they don’t fit with the others.
[Until they do; then they’re called revolutionary.]
So I thought I would try to unravel for you
some of the ecology [climatology, cosmology],
something of the position and nature of the [RightBrain] ‘sacred’
in the [LeftBrain] ecological system.”
Gregory Bateson, p. 265, Sacred Unity: Further steps to an ecology of mind.

Ideas with feelings attached,
like ecological subclimates,
internal landscapes,
health/pathology-delivering nutritional systems
of ecopolitically effective/dissonant communication,
and these Self+ElderOther enculturing strings of self-optimizing RNA/DNA
can pathologically die
because they do not fit confluently
optimally
with and for and of Earth
and Her great transitioning Universe.

While many teachers and prophets,
writers and philosophers,
scientists and community public/private ecopolitical health developers,
have shown an articulate interest
in the sacred mandala
ecological climate of nature-spirit bicameral mind,
(Jaynes, Bateson, Jung, R.D. Laing, Laotse, Bucky Fuller as Convex/Concave)
most have examined economic cooperative minds without political bodies
as stand alone elephants in a laboratory room,
rather than a healthy eating and pooping economy
herding with other likely mindbodies
on and in Earth’s multiculturally complex dialectal subclimates
ranging from regeneratively nutritional
through starving stagnant purgative drought.

Political ecology of sacred organic healthy choices
and other, more high risk eisegetically competitive ideas
with their ambivalent wu wei Tippy off-centered feelings,
these, like egos,
unlike ecoRightProportion-Only TemporalMinds,
reweave life and death cycles all our own
within Earth’s multicultural healthing ecopolitical network,
mandala,
sacred integrative ecology.

Earth’s creation evolves regeneratively
because both here and there
both is and notnot is
a divine creator shadow within each and every ego
cooperatively supported
by each living cell’s prime-thermodynamic
seeking ionic/ergodic co-gravitating balance within
temporal co-present empathic/trusting climates,
rich multicultural Yangform/Yinreverse-double-bind function
dipolar tempered-humored composts
fueling healthy network sublimely cooperative
WinWin HumaneGod/dess identity trajectory,
composed of Beloved
Diastolic
Optimally Sustainable
EcoPolitical Health Communities,
Climates,
Sacred Ecologies.

Soul Food Recipes

Rob Brezsny reports
In 2004, San Rafael hosted a World Conference of Soul-Making
resulting in three schools for best practices,
to which I will add one more.

“The Ruminators
theorized that humans are born without souls
and can create them only through arduous,
disciplined rebellion against all belief systems.

The Resonators
agreed that soul isn’t innate,
but insisted that soul-making is by no means difficult
…gathering good stories is effective
and not at all hard.

The Revelators
said every person is born with a soul
in seed form,
and need only discover the ‘blueprint’ of that seed
in order to attract the experiences
necessary to draw out its potential.”

The Regenerators
agree with all of the above,
born with a potential integrating seed,
we struggle with dissonance of painful ruminations
and celebrate their great climatic Creation Story culminations
to uncover resonantly notnot
reiteratively positive soul-revelations.

Once again, adding a culminating four-fractal fold
to three interdependent spatial dimensions
closes a four-season structured development story
openly inviting our regeneratively expectant revisit
for yet more soul food
made of premillennial manna.

Maturing Up Together

When you hear justice
do you also listen for responsive mercy?
Or are you more likely to feel merciless revenge
against uncivilized behavior
swelling vibrant adrenaline
baptizing your self-righteous bloodstream?

If revenge is your best defense
against chaotic complexities of anti-social behavior,
If punitive humiliation is this justice you would mentor,
live by,
protect,
then you will be an often disappointed,
and disappointingly ineffective,
parent,
and would best stay far away
from anything in law enforcement
and civil defense,
and gun permits.

Advocates and defenders of justice for all
are deep lovers of intentions and behaviors
positive humored
seeking their notnot negative unbalancing
of empty cleansing rituals including Society’s ecopolitical liturgies,
obsessive-compulsive demoralizing ruminations,
ruinations,
ramblings and echoes of great and small climatic transitions
quaking Earth’s moral imagination
steeped in Anthro cultures and histories,
kind and not-unkind.

Justice without mercy
is like reactivating love without peace,
like trying to actually mentor love
without internal and interdependent contentment
that we are in this life together,
all both guilty and innocent of most everything one might imagine,
until we fall apart
to reweave yet another new day,
with notnot strictured Elder shadows,
mercifully thrown together
as not-not fully grown regenerates.

Primal Intelligence

Intelligence,
including, but not particularly indigenous to,
human intelligence,
begins with nutritional ecopolitical exchange systems,
discerning what might be good to consume,
and healthy to produce for and with future generations,
and what might become a more toxic pest
attracted to me as your next best meal.

Humans enjoy speaking of our gastric-rooted economic issues and deposits
as politically healthy cooperation
or pig-headed competition
between species
nearly as much as we protest our innocence of buying,
well, stealing, actually,
Earth’s healthy climate
supporting multicultural feeding and fueling and reproducing
and breathing and beating and surfing
and dancing and singing and flying Elder species
each and all knowing enough to eat while the sun shines
not yet too bright
for hungry thirsty
but still struggling-healthy
root gastro-intestinal chemistry-climatic nutrient
networking ecosystems.

If Kant had been a medical doctor
or a better historian
he might have concluded with an ecology of network phenomenology,
We eat and drink,
therefore we are,
and eventually are no longer
of and for a discontinuous remembering health/pathology identity.

DNA remembered
and thought
and designed feeding root systems and leaves
long before hungry mouths and decomposing butt-heads,
each with an in-between ecopolitical system
to consume and produce
regenerate and degenerate
love passionately
and fade away,
back into nutrition’s pregenesis,
integrating energy of and for love of co-succulence
with healthy-beauty regenerating outcomes.

Intelligence,
sometimes including polypathic human nutritional intelligence,
begins with ecopolitical mindbodies
living in and on,
for and of,
organic networking Earth.

Optimal Wins

What words do we choose for maximizing our ultimate accomplishments,
achieving our healthiest goals,
proportioning our 100% successful therapeutic outcome projections?

Why do these words,
and our feelings about these choices
wave in and out of optimal happiness and prosperity,
even when quantitative measures suggest our historical maximums
continue to trend up and up toward infinite irresolution?

We say we could become anything,
but do we mean we might achieve everything,
every power,
timeless omnipotence?
How do WinWin ecopolitical norms
accommodate WinLose evolutionary imaginations?

Permaculturists,
like environmental therapists
and holistic medicine practitioners of new life out of old deaths,
favorably contrast polycultures with problematic monocultural outcomes.
Weed patches, essentially,
where you intended your front yard garden
and which may infest where you intended to grow your healthy ego identity.

We might hope to become more polypathic achievers
by acclimating to less egocentric monopolistic gestalts,
climates of self and other awareness becoming atrophied subclimates,
static,
aging hoary traditionalists of thought and faith concomitant feelings,
calcifying empathic trusters of ego’s always limited
health v pathology hour by hour,
day by day,
decade by decade,
life by life contests, comparisons, contrasts,
each and all co-arising.

Yet, like Yangish competitive power over others
and Yin’s gooier cooperative internalized power with others,
these opposing bilaterals
are also dynamically recycling appositional revolutions
within and without climates and subclimates
of intricately networking change,
searching for optimal,
not maximal extreme fundamentalist,
but optimally sustainable healthy tensegrity, synergy, therapy,
softly contentious contentment,
peace through responsible and mutually-held flexibility,
in-between competition and cooperation and victimization,
in-between LeftBrain deductions and RightBrain inductions,
in-between monocultural ecopolitical maximization of human ego-natures
and polycultural ecopolitical cooperative minimization of all Earth’s Living Natures
lies a vastly complex, often feeling chaotic, overwhelming
transitioning
regenerating middle ground,
an in-between Tipping Pointed recycling networks of issues and platitudes,
a wu-wei spatial place of ego/eco-mind,
collective ecoconsciousness
and RealTime WinLeft/WinRight flexibly enlightening
enriching
endeepening thermodynamic balance.

In this in-between shadow place of becoming healthier balancing identities,
monocultures begin to look like what remains
of former polycultures,
artifacts of cherished Elders,
and what could continue to become part of a new wealthier
denser
ecologically balancing multiculturally thriving future.

What looks like monopolistic alien powers over little benign-ego me,
begin to look like what remains from our former shared polypathic
ecotherapeutic identity
hoping toward future powers with each other person and species,
imagination’s deja vu of a felt monopolistic forever compost
nurturing perfectly and deepdarkly enriching Black Holed wombs
of embryonic time’s regenerative evolutionary integrative
reweaving promise,
never beginning
and ever ending
timeless ecoconsciousness.

Truth with beauty natures of enlightening climates
do indeed continuously co-arise change,
invite flexibility of WinWin responses,
but these are changes that have traditionally favored health
and disfavored pathology.

To continue following your optimal light
is to become pilgrims of inclusive global health,
inside as outside,
gradually expanding Golden Rule awareness
to include intent and praxis and real-world cooperative/competing with, not paranoid against
ecotherapeutically ecoconscious ecological ecosystems
ecopolitically richer
and denser
yet lighter and happier
outcomes
that continue optimizing,
by avoiding extremes of fundamentalist maximizing Anthro-egos
and radical minimizing of Earth’s cooperative potential without us.

 

 

Note to Taoists and Unitarian-Universalists:

I suspect that universalists see Yang-optimizing monocultures where unitarians see Yin-nurturing polycultures; and we are all both Left-Universalist Egos and Right-Unitarian Ecos.

CareFueled Causes

You are charged with a misdemeanor,
based on witnesses
who thought they head you saying you were leaving
even though you knew
you dinged this red truck’s door.

I know they saw me like that
but that’s because they could not hear
I was the driver ahead of them
holding out a $5 or $10
or even a $20,
if that was the least I had,
to any one beside the road
wearing a self-made person sign:
Homeless
Please help me.

I never pass these opportunities to help.

You see I have an oldest son
now twenty-one
who is not quite right
and tries his best
but finding and keeping a peaceful train of thought,
much more a job,
is hard for him
and so he stays where he may be welcome
despite what he can ill afford
to rest on other’s dime and time.

I never pass a chance to help
when need for help is obvious
as the tears we face
when humanity feels disgraced,
effaced by race,
knowing only left behind
to do the best they can
to ask us to do our best, we can,
to help when they approach us
with life’s nutritional concerns.

I make it my business to always try to help
when someone’s in our mess.
It would be too out of character
to know me as these have heard,
doing my best to avoid
a dinged your door responsibility,
because if a mess I caused
I had no interest to not confess
and then open my eager to be warmed wallet,
already too long-suffering of neglect.

But I do confess,
these are all my messes,
and yours as well.
We have too often acclimated
to this culture,
where we do not actively care
for one another,
and so not so much for ourselves either.

I hope to treat each mess we cause
as gently and lovingly as I so hope
someone right now will find the faith to see
within my homeless not quite right son’s asking eyes:
Would you help me,
us?
Do you know yet,
already,
we are in this together,
or we are out to fall and lose apart?

If you see him
let him go
do not hold him
by his toe
be not mean or bad in return.
Try with me to relearn
he’s done his almost best
to get it more almost right
next time.

So feel free to lavish praise
on how close he might have come
to doing better.
This helps him, and you,
feel and remember better
and perhaps even rather less than worse.

It would be my misdemeanor
to not do my best
wherever I see our mess.
I confess
I cannot see me in this way.
These watchers and listeners and speakers against me
must misunderstand,
yet perhaps that’s all to life’s good.
Makes me wonder
how they would see me
if they had recognized that guy in front,
stopped to say yes to each homeless mess,
could we all better take time enough
to just say yes
to benefits of doubt?

Singing Dance for Public/Private Health

What I care about
and what I am working
and even playing hard with
is better understanding what and how
we and Earth
communicate to and with each other,
regenerating mindbody health sometimes,
and yet degenerating pathological climates and subclimates,
gestalts,
ecopolitical chemistry puzzles and games,
systemic syndromes articulating wu wei
Tipping Points of MultiCultural ReGenerate Enthymemes.

Only up to half of effective human communication,
whether you talk or listen,
write or read,
or sing or dance or draw or sculpt or design or recreate,
or preferably all of the above,
is about word choice and language,
dialectal articulation
and successful transfer of accurately informing verbal messages
from a voice source to one or more ecosystemic receptors,
ears to linguistically and culturally hear
health v pathology of climatic autonomic feelings,
thoughts,
insights,
concerns,
prayers,
hopes and fears,
loves and angry-paranoid hates
and all complexities in-between these dipolarities of thinking/feeling.

The other half, or more, of communication and all that ecopolitical jazz
of dance and song,
is all about non-verbal context,
or/and natural climate,
or/and academic climate,
or/and political climate,
or/and economic climate,
or/and ecologically healthy historic-cultural climate,
or/and environment,
or/and medium of nature’s most regenerate messages
as positive over double-negative
double-binding eco-cosmological
Right-timeless/Left-EternalYangTime.

In communications theory,
we often focus on sight,
on what we can see of speakers speaking
and listeners listening and watching and feeling and caring, or not;
smiles and frowns
ups and downs,
happy-health and pathological down messages,
positives and negatives,
and even humors of oxymoronic double-binding not-nots
within time’s naturally unfolding logic
with analogical ego’s aesthetic mindbody live-function/evil-dysfunction,

Evilive is when light-filled healthy
and dualdark equipoise equivalently balance co-arising Tipping Points
of bicamerally balanced ecoconsciousness
transforming into a deeper, more resonate, climate potential
of and for rich-dense-harmonic-octaved positives,
as physical/metaphysical long-term trending regenerate multicultural health.

Yet communication,
as Thich Nhat Hanh observes,
is a function of nutrition and health,
and/or malnourishment and pathology,
so optimized messages
are not only redundantly heard and seen,
but also sometimes smelled and tasted and remembered
and touched
and felt
ecoconsciously and/or autonomically,
intuitively in reverse-deductive time’s enthymematic reweaving deja vu,
back to matriarchal loving womb’s non-paranoid DNA-inspired compost,
as portentious of good and bad to follow,
especially lensed-framed-calculated-climatized-hypnotized-actively hopeful for future anthro-bicameral
post-millennial
polypathic regenerations of peaceful multiculturing love.

As Earth’s clouds of unknowing
predict rains of water and light’s fertile nurturance,
predict trees with organically networking ecopolitical health-development roots,
predict an anthrocentric world of paper
predicting Earth cloud’s most viral DNA-sympathetic, non-paranoid, messages,
predicting more loving health
and less hating pathologically trending climates of devolving change,
through lack of full-enthymematic octave-optimized timelessly classic communication on our Golden Rule Tribe’s part,
especially as song and tribal 4-step danced
and hopefully as analogical/ecologically balanced nutritional poetry.

I so hope
you can and will write and sing and dance this enlightenment poem
back to me
in any polypathic dialect
we could all ecologically comprehend
as another great rich message out to fellow Earth Tribes,
We know we made this mess,
and feel really really bad about it,
but we sing and dance and ecopoliticize cooperatively
and hope to get better with this Golden Rule
of light’s regenerative fertility
through stronger yet more flexible harmonic co-arising balance.

How do you follow your ecopolitical light,
and learn from our dualdark TippingPoint shadows?

Yin’s Time Greets Yang’s Space

Qualities of empowering
disempowering time
lurking within quantities of spatial powers,

We are climate changing qualities of addicting ego-time
praying for,

quantities of Earth’s ecopolitical powers
over Self and Other’s passing,
powers with
powers within powers,
toxic qualities of maladaptive waste and loss
evolving regenerate qualities
of positively addicting healthy-wealthy time.

Junk Mail Again

Wow, look, we can save $500!

I wonder how much we must invest
to generate such savings.

Oh, I see.
We need only buy a new or used car,
which, of course, as everyone knows,
is something that we truly truly need,
like a thneed.
Yet another car or truck
to insure and register and feed full of fuel
and maintain and repair.

And don’t forget those exhaustive system screenings
to be sure you are not doing more than your fair share
to poison our over-exhausted and under-fed air.

Seems like too high a price to save so little.
I think we shall pass
on this less than overwhelming offer.

What’s next?
Oh yes, the cell phone bill.
I wonder how they will help us save money this month.
I could use a direct line to God
about all this junk mail
and these bills
for services not so generously,
or even cooperatively, delivered.

I could save a lot of money
by not talking to anyone
and not going anywhere,
although I could not swear I have been going from here to there
for quite some time now,
and I could confine my thirsts to tap water,
which does not cost so awfully much
compared to cell phone liquidity.

But, to really save time and money
I would make a long-term commitment
to this reclusive lifestyle,
and downsize to an old geezer tricycle
with a cargo basket on the front,
and a Slow Moving Vehicle sign strapped onto my back.

Children going by would suspect me of false advertising:
Mom, look, he isn’t moving at all.
Is he for target practice?…
Oh Mom, how could you possibly have missed him,
you drove right by,
his cap still flies,
carried by the wind
of our cadillac of sales.

Yet false advertising has itself become culturally addictive.
So much easier than owning up to what we really have to bargain-basement sell.
Which is nothing, I think?

Mom, shouldn’t he be wearing black?
And shouldn’t he have a long straggling grey beard
and black brimmed hat
and not that University of Michigan ball cap.
That’s not right at all,
that whole situation of maladaptive addiction.
Better call the police,
the crazies got off pathology’s reservations again.

I suppose it would be maladaptively psycho
to save all that much money,
and for what new or better fed addictions?
A person can only eat so much ice cream
without developing permanent runs,
and what else would I want to buy
with all that saved up money?

Regardless, to really really save money and time
it would help so much to know what for,
to what other alternative investments.

Divestments of habitual climate challenging addictions,
like anger management,
require much less raw will power-over
short-term thinking ego’s autonomic habits
of mind and body,
when floating in new rivers of healthier adaptations
to Earth’s resonant climatic opportunities
with ever greater power-with warmth,
invitation,
grace resetting kosmic karma’s sights
from addiction within culture’s BusinessAsUsual pathologies
in favor of Earth’s felt and believed
beautiful polypathic truths
of timeless climate health,
yin within as yang without,
anima’s spirited love-invoking
animus vestments
of co-incorporated ecopolitical power.

Oh yes, I know,
let me fully invest in a new Recreational Vehicle
to drive and fly away from all this savings
of self and other and Earth,
never planning to return to this asceticism
without aesthetics of co-invested,
though curiously humored, pilgrims.

Looking for ever renewing ways
to save $500.

Climate Addictions v Adaptations

It appears that Feyerabend presents a more accurate normative gestalt
for RightBrain epistemological climates,
how RightBrain solves chaotic environmental puzzles,
while Popper is better for LeftBrain deduction,
diastolic evolving unfolding
of syllogistic logic.
Together evolving toward a dipolar truth
of balancing flexibiity
trending toward regenerative health optimization,
accuracy of truth meets beauty,
as yang embraces yin,
as deduction reweaves induction.

Julian Jaynes and Carl Jung
describe a redundantly held ecology of mind and body,
spirit and nature,
anima and animus as did Laotse,
each within an interdependent histo-cultural paradigmatic dialect,
or gestalt.

This interdependence may be explored
using Gregory Bateson’s mapping v referent model,
searching for WinWin health outcomes,
using ecological-fractal strictures
of seasonal folding and unfolding,
cause and effect,
primal Creation Story analogies
in geometric ecosystems with (0)-sum Tipping Points.

Buckminster Fuller
and other alchemists present dialectal patterns confluent with climate
and chemistry
and anthromorphic character dipolarities
of appositional metric self-referencing design.

This interweaving revolving architecture
of Earth’s metaphysical and physical evolution
is easier to see
from an Eastern philosophic nondual co-arising nature
as spiritual systemic polypathic universal assumption.

Bateson’s economic and ecology
and logical type epistemology
is also about generating great and small revolutions
in healthy gestalt homeostasis,
in which human mindbodies adjust within Earth’s environment.
For example,
internal acclimation is human nature’s response
to altitude change in atmospheric climates,
where initial cognitive/affective/autonomic dissonance symptoms
cause stress,
until lung-brain body resolves internal climate discord.
Flexibility refers to readjustments in Tipping Point balance
between TooMuchYang/TooLittleYin,
where Yang is Positive Polynomial
and Yin is NotNot POlynomial equi-valent balancing,
so that internal polynomial ecosystems
become once again confluent with NotNot Polynomial Earth’s climatic
effects on human Tao (0)-souled nature/spirits,
ecology of minds and bodies,
reverse analogies and correlates of Left Deductive with Right Inductive processors
of dialectal exegetical information
AND eisegetical inductive decompositional function
of prime (0)-sum thermodynamic dipolar co-arising regenerate relationship.

This might be easier to see
if Bateson had adapted Russell’s ‘higher’ logical type language
to emphasize revolutionary,
as opposed to BusinessAsUsual evolutionary
cultural day-to-day development,
climate searches for more health and less pathology
are a return to a deeper ecological balancing flexibility physiology-psychology gestalt.
Whether using ‘higher’ or ‘deeper’ is an arbitrary perspective
within any universal field of inquiry,
as Buckminster Fuller perhaps too redundantly reminded us,
unto near death.

Addiction to acclimated cultural norms, then,
is ecopolitical marginalization,
and sometimes criminalization,
rather than the more positive adaptational flexibility expected
of human nature’s kosmic evolution
on and within Earth’s RNA/DNA encrypted
(0)-soul-sum-core-eco/interest power-balance.

To be consistent,
society must yet resolve our willingness
to live with patently fascist conclusions
that all mental illness is a form of negative addiction.
And, even if so,
which seems unlikely,
then precisely how are we addicted (adapted)
to which climate pathologies
and which ecopolitical therapies
might resolve these culturally normed symptoms
of too LeftBrain dominant mental illness?
