Doing PolyAmorous Paradise

When I was eight
I knew Paradise could not be merely secular humane
and yet be kind
and omnipotently divine

when a Great Horned Owl
breathed her last sacred breath toward me,
left alone
while she flew away
to where I would poorly follow
in my robust adult time.

It took me eight cycles of octave eight
to realize why
Paradise must include safe nests for diverse fowl,
politically
and ecologically cooperative seas
flowing complex schools of graceful fish
and surf’s bilateral co-gravity
flowing out here
and ebbing in now
breathing Earth’s healthy paradise past
and wealth-empowering future
polyamorous eternity.

Because an anthropocentric Paradise
would be monolithically,
and monotonously,
and monotheistically oxymoronic,
a scientifically and religiously ridiculous
metaphysical nightmare,
not ecologically sustainable,
not psychologically palatable

not even harmonically healthy potential paradise
because not synergetically
polyphonically
polypathically
polyculturally
or polytheistically healthy
wealth of peak co-empathic experience

regeneratively compelling
and degeneratively disspelling
economically enlightened
and politically empowering
co-intelligent empathic/dyspeptic
polytheistically inclusive
indigenous wisdom design.

Every polyvagal body knows
Heaven begins and ends
in an organically holistic
and politically democratic
globally healthy Earth Garden
with zero-balanced waste wealth stream
and nonzero-soul kind-kin potential
panentheistic elegant integrity,
yes?

So how does denying our naturally embodied climate
and unkind mind-wasting spiritual pathologies
help us become the perpetually ReStorative Paradise
we might synergetically peace together

Healing decadently autocratic Hell
monotheistically against sacredly wealthy
organically healthy Gaia Earth.

Golden Rule Resonance

Talk to yourself.
Think and thank about your past selves,
how you have changed
and charged into different interests/disinterests
over years and decades.

Think about your now best self
as generously
as you might best re-listen and re-see
your worst felt unkind Enemy.

What can you hear about your older self
that you cannot also innocently perceive
with pleasing inner child compassion?

To belong in self-regenerating health
we might long for curiosity’s inter-communicating wealth
of alternative crown/root passionate pleasures
now/past
mature/infant
VerbalMe/PreVerbalWe
biological/ecological
individual/kindred
sacred/organic
co-empathic win/win relationships
,
To avoid repeating Win v Lose past-condemning strategies
through isolated ego-identity self v unself dissociation.

Empty of more fertile organic kindness
re-connection
resonating self and unself re-association
re-ligiously fore-giving
resilient preverbal voices
care-giving care-receiving
co-empathic resonant unchoices

Observing
and becoming more MindSpirit/BodyNature perceived,
belongingly loved

ReHearing your preverbal inter-rooted child
become lovingly listened to
and organically known
and sacredly appreciated
as is
and ever shall be

To again remember smelling
and tasting
and feeling resonant health
more kind than pathologically predative wealth

By reversing organic developing “self v not-self” concepts
we touch all timeless root-systemic
pre-verbal pre-histories
of indigenously wise
resonantly resilient
re-ligious regenerations

That could not possibly
have kindness become you
with autocratically irreligious degenerations.

Imagine inviting your sacred-organic
polyphonic mind
polyamorous body
into this new reconnecting day
to be filled to overflowing fruition
with democratically GoldenRuling others

Doing and saying to our verbally mature adult selves
as we would have compassionately pleasuring Elders
do and say kindness to our preverbal inner child

Feeling yourself
treating yourself,
meeting yourself,
listening and perceiving yourself,
with at least as much reconceiving kindness
as you would want
your own worst unkind trauma enemy
to respect sacred neurosystemic you
and your prenatal organic
ecosystemically kind-kin home

Still living and singing to yourself.
Thinking about and thanking yourselves
noticing how CrownMe/RootWe have interdependently changed
and charged into democratically resonant interests,
avoided autocratically dissonant disinterests,
over sacred seasoning years
and organically regenerating decades.

Religiously Irritating History

Once upon a Roman Empire building time
a brilliantly pleasing boy was born
of humble Jewish means,
named Jesus.

Born into autocratic occupation,
to avoid military police threats
of mass Jewish male child murder,
Jesus and his mom and dad
became EastBound immigrants,
away from Western kleptocratic ruin.

Jesus was thereby exposed
to more Eastern polytheistic
and pantheistic polycultures
before returning home
to listen and learn literacy
from rabbinical monotheists.

In this time of foreign occupation,
Roman commanders policed and preyed upon
the prosperous
and innocent
and vulnerable

Creating a divide among the Rabbi leaders,
some siding with the Zealot Party
who wanted to overthrow fascist red Roman Rule
and thereby establish an Israel nation-state
reforming Judaism’s land-based theocracy
into more of a rabbinical nation-state
plutocracy.

Some rabbis found this too political
and not enough Jewish spiritual,
rooted in Promised Land natural
indigenous wisdom
enlightened by One SunGod Creator
shining more Torah manifestly
on His Chosen People
to be fruitful
and passionate pleasure prosper,
maintaining the open hospitality Way
10-commandment Truth
sacred green pasture
empowering promised land-based Life.

Jesus grew into a young messiah
Prince of SunFather’s enlightening Peace,
although surrounded by His Judaism Tribe,
hoping for a nation-building Zionist,
and not so much an advocate
of non-violent communicating serenity,
not reductively all about getting in the political
and economic face
of weaponized atrocities.

Despite lack of rabbinical support,
Jesus had a God is love for peace
gospel message
inspiring His HolyBody Spirit.

When asked if He supported paying tribute
to war- and fear-mongering Ceasar,
He said to give to Ceasar
what is capitalist coin-producing
empire-building Ceasar’s,
leaving unsaid the remainder

His religiously mature PeaceTribe
could continue their cooperative barter economy
and their Torah-teaching schools
and their walk a second mile
and turn the other cheek
gratitude Beatitudes,
to be known by their love for each other
and not by their hate against Other.

At every turn
Jesus lived and taught Love’s way of peace,
consistently giving religious preference
to restorative peace-making
rather than continuing with zealous Zionist
Chosen Nation retributive justice
against those who spoke other languages,
against those immigrating from Othered cultures
against those who had sinned
and fallen queerly short

Jesus’s consistent retort,
who among us hasn’t fallen short
of Love’s relentlessly religious
peace-making integrity?

While Jesus was sad,
tearful about disappointing his evangelical
IsraelFirst followers,
he promised that his compassion
pleasing presence
would become more democratically accessible
upon his panentheistic Holy Spirit/Nature’s return,
sacredly organic
mindfully embodied
blood and bread indigenously wise
inter-religious communion.

And to this day
authentic Christians are discerned
not by their fundamental
scripture-based orthodoxy
or their evangelical nationalistic patrimony
but by their liberally compassionate
Holy Spirit/Nature fruits.

Including,
but not necessarily limited by anything
or anyone
or any relationships
other than their demonic irreligious
fear- and anger- and hate-mongering opposites:

Peace: spiritual-mind/natural-body calm;
not unnatural/unspiritual chaos

Joy: deeply passionate contentment
not widely dispassionate discontent

Faith: spiritual-mind/natural-body confident curiosity;
not dispassionate/displeasing insecure Holier Than Thou

Kindness: compassionate care-giving;
not dispassionately unforgiving

Charity: passionately pleasing Christian [peace-making] love;
not dispassionately displeasing evangelical [just-war] disregard

Patience: thoughtfully engaging trauma’s dissonant degenerativity;
not thoughtlessly disengaging therapeutic resonant regenerativity

Gentleness: Graciously considerate religious practices
not disgraciously inconsiderate irreligious malpractices

Modesty: CreationCentered respectful humility;
not anthropocentric disrespectful greed

Goodness: Religiously moral integrity;
not nationalistic immoral hypocrisy

Longanimity (long-suffering): resilient re-ligious loyalty;
not fragile irreligious disloyalty

Self-control: engaging mind/body healthy opportunities;
not performing spirit-mind v nature-body unhealthy risks

Chastity: purity in associative actions;
not impurity in dissociative reactions.

And so it is
in this Make Christianity Healthy Again story
we might re-ligiously conclude

Zionism is to Judaism
in brilliant Prince of PeaceFull day
as Evangelism is to Christianity
in irreligiously dispassionate display

Dismay threatening to disintegrate
inter-religious peace-making
through merely MAGA nationalistic play.

What does this MindBody of Jesus say?

CareFueling Charges

I was charged with a misdemeanor,
based on witnesses
who imagined they heard me saying I was leaving
without a note,
even though I knew
I dinged a new red truck’s door.

I know they saw my oppositionally defiant daughter
and her careless caregiver like that
but that’s because they could not also imagine hearing

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 wounded person beside the road
wearing a self-made sign:
Homeless [unperson]
Please help me.

I cannot always pass
these dinged up 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 less a long-term training job,
is hard for understudied him
and so he stays where he may be safely hidden
despite what resilient love 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 I can
to ask us to be better, we can,
to help when They anxiously approach Us
with life’s disturbing concerns.

I make it my business to always try win/win
when someone’s in our loser mess.
It would be too out of co-empathic character
to know me as these have heard,
doing my best to avoid
a dinged your door responsibility,
because of a defiant mess I caused

I have no self-interest to not confess
and then open my eager to be warmed wallet,
already too long-suffering of privileged neglect.

But I do confess,
these are all my messes,
and yours as well.

We have too often acclimated
to this win/lose monopolistic culture,
where we do not actively care
for one another
outside our religious classrooms,
so not inside our codependent walls,
echoing with dispassionate either saved
or sinner,
not a winner.

I hope to heal your mess we cause
as gently and lovingly as I so hope
someone right now will find love’s faith to see
within my homeless not quite right son’s asking eyes:

Would you help me
fix us?
Do you know yet again
already,
we are in win/win grace together,
or we are out to fall and lose
winner v loser disgraced
apart?

If you see him
let him go
do not scold him
by his show

Be less mean and mad
in co-empathic care’s return.

Try with me to relearn
he’s done his almost best
to get Winner v Loser anxiety
more religiously right,
less desecrating wrong,
next irreligiously Othered time.

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

It would be my misdemeanor
to not do my best
wherever I see our mess
and yet
I confess
I cannot always see sin
in this interdependent swaying way.

These watchers and listeners and speakers against me
must also misunderstand,
yet perhaps that’s all to life’s good

Makes me wonder
how they would re-imagine me
if they had recognized that old white guy in front,
stopped to say a privileged yes
to each unhoused
unloved
dinged up mess.

Could we all take and give
better time enough
to just say healthy yes
to wealthy benefits
of religiously straight
monopolistically white
patriarchal winners
re-engaging co-empathic win/win enrichment
with our internal Non-Othering
Gaia Hypothetical side.

On our best
doing our almost less mess
cooperatively co-passionate
interdependently reweaving
not dark night
and not worst play

sacred Earth still co-revolving
another organically living
lovely day.

Positive Politics

I am aware
we have a growing conservative academic position
that political science
becomes too didactic for scientific neutrality
when political scientists are too pro-liberating democracy
v pro status-quo theocracy,
plutocracy,
autocracy,
kleptocracy, etc.

too delusionally enthusiastic about economic
and sociological
and neurological health meritocracy

too positive about win/win co-empathic trust
as our best and brightest eco-political polypath
toward subjectively advocating for:
polytheistic/monotheistic co-liberating faith
polyculturally positive hope
and resonantly polyphonic love.

It does seem that this conservative political skepticism
bites the liberal education system that has fed them,
put probably uncontaminated food on their deregulation tables,
paid their gated suburban mortgages.

As conservative academic views
Trumpian turn toward military-industrialized advocacy
of second amendments to a better dead
than not-red constitution
for national corporate monoculturing greed
and irreligiously anthropocentric monotheism

I nervously notice that patriarchal conservation
of straight-western-white corporate
monocultural colonizing traditions
have become rather too comfortable
with a disempowering and unenlightened monstrous
win/lose 0-sum evolutionary survival hypothesis
that therapeutic and medicinal sciences best remain neutral
about climates and cultures of healthcare,
compassionate kindness,
and neurosystemic win/win peace,
while growing rabidly dissociative tolerance
for conserving anthro-entitled pathologies

such as divesting of international healthcare
environmental safety
secure and effective home and life prosperity
and vaccinated domestic defense systems.

My idea of scientific neutrality takes a Positive Psychology position
that terrorism and fascism and racism,
like narcissism and anthropocentrism and nihilism
and monoculturing patriarchal anti-feminism
and monopolistic winner takes all capitalism

And other forms of neurosystemic
and ecosystemic trauma,
no longer seem political-choice neutral
about effective and healthy governance
when conservative educators and advocates
are choosing peaceful and non-toxic residential climates
and cooperative family co-investment economies
and federal/state cooperative tax revenue associations.

Exceptions to this win/win co-governance golden rule
might be political and economic scientists
who enjoy teaching
while parenting macho-tyranny within their own troubling
autocratic fear- and anger-mongering homes
plutocratically gated neighborhoods
dysfunctional polarized school boards
and disturbing town non-dialogical non-councils.

Truly objective political health standards
can be explored and discovered through subjective neutrality
and yet conclude that nihilism
is not an effective neurosystemic governance strategy
just as denialism
cannot achieve efficient ecosystemic stewardship capacity.

I look forward to a more cooperatively graced
co-intelligent bicameral meritocracy

nominating and electing
and rewarding and preferentially selecting
effective democratic healthcare scientists
co-passionate policy designers
religious and public sector leaders
of polyculturing inside/outside climate therapies

Having win/win engaged bipartisan kindness
isn’t win/lose apartisan meanness,
and presented a well-documented commitment
to co-empathic liberating-mind/conserving-body nondual trust
in therapeutic evolutionary merits
(not devolutionary demerits)
of neurosystemic co-operative enlightening
and ecosystemic empowering
woke up political consciousness.

UnHoly RumiNations

The opposite of life
is death

The polar opposite of eternal health
is terminal disease,
with unease perhaps lying/truthing
in-between timelessness
and untimely demise

So too,
my opposite of steady compassion
may be your unsettling dispassion

Elation v deflation
of all these oppositional answers above

as unclear appositional questings

What is my opposite of suicide?
Self promotion?
Ego inflation?
Having all my consuming needs
fully answered?

Or
maybe some uneasy questing
timeless mind
and spacious body
in-between healthy Now

And death-defying
death-denying

death-despairing
death-despoiling
AnthroLove Here

Remains part of EarthLife There

Now?

As Me curiously questioning
feels like our lonelier half
of We not yet
finally answering?

What could appositionally rebalance
death’s final answering Earth-climate
and life’s open questioning Anthro-culture?

What is the opposite of lively ruminations
and deadly ideations?

What lies contentious truths contenting,
In-between EarthBody’s discommunication
desecrating death
and AnthroMind’s sacred communion life?

Integrity of Kindness

Why is it that kindness,
like integrity,
is both free
and freeing?

And meanness,
like AnthroSupremacy,
is too expensive
and frightening?

Yet

While pursued by overpowering lack
