Buying the Farm

Have you chosen what you will become,
my son,
or will you become something yet unchosen?

Become?

How will you keep yourself gainfully occupied,
dare I speak of vocation?

Oh yes,
I will be absent.

Absent from…?

From you.
Absent from you.

My wisest son,
thank you for your perfect gift of omission,
and yet your future commissions
provoke my valiant interest now.

You are more curious
than absence would allow.

And you less curious
than vocations would avow.

Not true.
You rush to judge rashly
evidence only future time could carry.
I would become absent from inside voices,
those demanding I use mine,
closing minds to outside voices
ignoring body needs for outdoor vocal crimes
of raucous laughter,
shouting at echoing self-greetings
to outside experts too busy writing their competitions
to read my mutually polypathic cooperations.

Would it kill you,
wisest son,
instead of flaunting absence from inside voices
to market sacred presence speaking outside voices?

It might,
yet here lies opportunity
for graceful great transitions.

Ah yes,
transitions toward whom doing what
and why,
these are my tired questions.
So what are these golden opportunities
with minimal risk of becoming fleeced,
naked with loss,
intimately vulnerable to cold dark death?

I could not know of transition without risk of loss
yet comprehend this time
discerning how to find our co-opportunities
as EarthTribe PolyCulture Revolutionaries
(0)-Interest Bodhisattva Economic PlaceHolders
Beloved Community Occupiers
Earth CoOperative ReGenerators.

Each new morning brings great transition opportunity,
alternatively and coincidentally floating fueled anger and fear
or love and contentment,
but usually by a hybrid of
Yang+ and dualdark yinyin’s transparentcy
wu wei
interior mindbody Right Elder integrity-elational
nondual co-arising dipolar LeftRight correlational
AnthroCentric CoPresent Holonic Identity—
DNA/RNA root fractal ecosystemic,
regenerative issues and tissues.

Where is your risk of loss
within this nondual bicameral landscape?

Loss comes through my over-active AnthroEgo,
dominating elitism of LeftBrain addictions
to commodification without concomitant value,
to deduction without bilateral inductive balance,
averse to reducing competitive edge
without collateral evolutionary cooperative expansion of health,
hypnotized by logical policies and procedures devoid of nutritious v. toxic feelings,
severing the value of mindful communication from healthy v. pathological
political and economic experience
of relationships within RealTime.

Your healthy future is your daily great transitional choice,
your Ego AND EarthTribe optimizing healthy future
emerges a more cooperative plan,
like uracil with cytosine.

What if I choose to play games for a few decades?

Commit to cooperative team building games
and play with resource ownership variables
as influenced by poli-ecological WinWin Gaming assumptions.
Find ways to heal air and water and soil.
Explore ways to rehydrate Earth
and slow down our AnthroLeft dominant acceleration.
Invest in healthy slow dense polycultural growth
for stronger therapeutic polypathic outcomes.

Sounds more like your organic farm-therapy community dream.
I suppose that could be one way to play WinWin.
But, not mine.

Earth ReGenerators

Joanna Macy with Molly Brown
two Earth-generation vocations
reconnecting eastern philosophy
with western open systemic-holonic health ,
dynamic natural synergy
with four-season natural spirals acting through spiritual love
of light,
angry fear of dual dark,
merging Earth crisis enculturation
delivering Anthro-opportunity to embrace Time’s bilateral language,
Earth-consciousness of dipolar light/dark
balancing organic time of life Herself,
Buddha mindbodies for co-messianic bodymind landscapes,
interior concave bicamera-rolling exterior convex,
harmonically decomposing our dissonance
to regenerate our potential integrity,
balancing positive bicameral psychology
to activate cognitive-affective research climates
of embryonic suffering, notnot resonance
defining natural dissonance
nurturing spirited diastolic-trending nature
as spirited spiral regenerate Earth life-systems
with Elder commensurability of spirit-nature,
past emerging future’s healthy love of all abundant life
as notnot purgation’s suffering death.

Show us
hear us
smell us
taste us
touch us
absorb us
your intimately co-passionate way
to incorporate our poli-economic cooperative potentiality,
our co-arising ecologicality
uniting polycultural polypathic paradigms
of Time’s light for love-Present

My Funny Little Revolution Game

In my game of life
I play sometimes against,
and sometimes with,
Time as Other player.

Playing against
seems to have bad odds of feeling like a winner,
while playing with time
feels like we both win,
at least some Time,
especially if we simultaneously stretch
our love for gaming.

In my Evolution Game,
playing with and against Time as Other,
my rules emerge natural laws of healthy,
and pathology,
trends and order and political balance/imbalance,
witnessed by elder spirit voices,
iconic memories of past Games
with diastatic/static
diastolic/purgative
evolving rules of vocational recreation with co-passion play.

Nutrient rules flowing through my veins
and out through rivers of arteries of positive/negative trees
deep fertile cuts and folds,
articulating primal neural streams with suboptimizing substreams,
swelling mainframe-economy with eco-reiterating-nested synaptic revolutions
and co-ebbing aptic mutual win-sufficiency contentment,
more sustainable midway rest from playing against Other.

Now, in Time’s anthro-game of evolving life
s/he plays sometimes against anger and fear memories,
and sometimes with love and peace future investment
with winwin outcome intent,
co-arising regeneratively healthy Anthro-Egos as Other players,
also running coincidental WinWin, WinLose, and LoseLose
strategic naturally emergent health functions and dis-easing pathology
with transitionally revolutionary co-incarnate bilateral form
as postmillennial anthrocentric PlayNice frequencies of EarthTime.

In our love of eco-winning games
we play sometimes against cooperatively stretching regenesis,
and sometimes with Other natural loving life
strategic nutrient-nurture optimization players,
whenever and wherever we can hunt and haunt them up,
make them up as iconic gods and goddesses,
as necessary to harvest win-winnowing together.

In this funny little evolution game,
it is wrong because impossible
to harvest winnings we have not regeneratively seeded,
as individual ego players
and as a potentially Earth-centric tribe of team players.

Conversation with Chris Santos-Lang

My internal conversation with you, Kramer, Bressan, and all our microbes, together, in brackets.

What “Letting People [and Places, including Earth] Be Themselves” Means

Chris Santos-Lang

In “Humans as Superorganisms: How Microbes, Viruses, Imprinted Genes, and Other Selfish [Mutually-Struggling] Entities Shape Our Behavior,” Peter Kramer and Paola Bressan present evidence that we are [nondual] “not unitary individuals,” but rather “collections of human and nonhuman [RNA/DNA-regeneratively syntaxed] elements that…in an incessant [cooperatively contentious] struggle [default as positive ‘with’ and sometimes ‘negative reverse-synaptic’ against], jointly define who we are.” The research they highlight challenges those of us who want to ‘let people be themselves’ to explain precisely what we mean by “themselves [and ourselves.” If people are [nondual] not unitary individuals, then what could “themselves [as ourselves]” refer to?

The notion that we are not unitary individuals is not new. [Plato didacted the interdependence of intrinsically social beings, and the neoplatonists went wild with that core holonic universal view.] Quantum physicists have pointed out that every atom of our bodies is entangled with the entire universe [inclusive of both Bohm’s Explicate Order and Implicate Order and Buckminster Fuller’s Convex-Positive-Special Case v. Concave-Double-Bilateral-Reverse-String-Temporal Metaphysical Interior Eco-Cooperative TransParent Function-more or less], biologists have pointed out that less than 2% of those atoms remain in us for over a year, and psychologists have pointed out that the mechanisms of our [positive] cognition typically extend beyond our brains to include scratchpads, musical instruments, calculators, and the Internet [and extend back through time toward the distant progenitive-as-regenerative origins of fractal-syntaxed RNA]. Kramer and ressan add merely that our [economic] values [as objectives] and [political] preferences [as subjective progenitors]–what we call our “soul”–is just as entangled with our environment as are our other aspects.

In my opinion, the most compelling branch of their argument is the one relating to microbes. Only about 10% of the various types of [RNA/DNA fueled] cells our bodies require to flourish are [DNA] human. The rest are [RNA-uracil-rooted] microbes. Although most of the microbe studies cited by Kramer and Bressan were conducted on mice, it seems clear that the decisions humans make–how we vote, whom we marry, whether we commit a crime–depend upon which microbes dominate our internal [autonomic] ecosystem at the time. Thus, we can lose our [perception of autonomous] identity–the person our friends know us to be may cease to [monopolistically] inhabit our [mind-]bodies–not just through a lobotomy, but also through some combination of antibiotics and probiotics which irreversibly [or reversibly? I wonder?] tip the balance of power among the microbes within us.

Such microbes might be called parasites of our [mutually parasitic] bodies, but they cannot be parasites of [with?] our selves, for they are an essential part of who we are. Kramer and Bressan would argue that our rights belong to our entire internal [and external] ecosystem[ic landscapes], including those microbes. Laws to protect you [and Earth] must therefore take the form of laws to protect an ecosystem, not necessarily protecting particular microbes, but protecting [mutually parasitic reverse-hierarchically structured, increasingly cooperative metasystemic, with bilateral (concave/convex) spacetime, co-prehensive] balance among them. This sets the stage for shocking reform of our legal system and conception of human [as nature’s spiritua/ergodic/ionic/cogravitational] rights [of freedom to cooperate balancing freedom from struggling-against competition of Other].

Perhaps the paradigm of “selfish-survivalist” genes has been unduly influenced by a culturally jaundiced interpretation of Darwinian evolutionary struggle. But the default setting on Darwinian evolution is positive-regenerative, which would suggest struggling with others to maintain co-gravitational balance, perhaps defining what I mean by eco-normic cooperation. Nature’s biological systems seem to struggle against mutually negative {lose, lose} eco-gravitational disbalancing choices, which might be paradigmed as competitive eco-politics. Struggling is normatively neutral; “selfish” is not, and assumes a monocultural level of competitive-default objectives that is not supported by the regenerative fact that cooperative polyculturally organic nature, life, exists at all.

Summary Notes, Dillenbeck:

Cooperative economic subjects lead toward competitive, politically-healthy, objectives of eco-consciousness.

Struggling with suboptimized relationships avoids over-attachment to a moderately-healthy Win-Lose poly-econormic status-quo.

Struggling against suboptimally dissonant-yet-static relationships avoids over-detachment from a perceived-as-toxically-competitive (over-heated/drama climate) status-quo.

Allah and Buddha were Talking

You know what I think sometimes?
said Allah to Buddha,
Of course you do
and yet you don’t.

I think I gave this gift of language
because you have a uniquely humanatured gift
of comprehending
and transposing
and translating languages thru-out each and all Earth tribes,
but primally amongst your anthro-Allah loving selves.

Buddha thinks
we under-invest using this cooperatively intended gift
to speak clearly
and honestly
with candid integrity
about what “I need”
and what “I really do not need more of,
or any longer.”

Perhaps at work
in your vocation
you get along fairly confluenty,
most folks act professionally
and politically
and socially
and economically
and ecologically
and healthily correct.

Yet, notice
next time
perhaps even within yourself,
within your family,
with your spouse,
with your kids
especially with those teenagers,
how much time do we invest
prattling happily
and sometimes ranting unhappily along
about what we want or wish for,
don’t want and would never care to see
or hear
again;
now compare to your investment
conversing about what you most need
and what you most critically,
yet also chronically,
most specifically do not need
in your healthy intended and practiced life,
and in your death-trending non-life
of falsely wealthy abundance.

We might turn to our professional colleague at work
say “I could use a cup of coffee.”
but we would probably never say,
“I need more stimulants in my system
or this situation will put me to sleep.”

We might say to our oppositionally obsessed daughter,
“If you throw that one-eyed Zoe doll down the stairs again
in the middle of this clunky throbbing night,
you can predict her immediate demise
in the trashcan of life!!!”
but seldom think to say
“I need for us to figure out a less alarming way
for you to wake me
when you need my attention.”

Why are we more comfortable
telling our life partners,
“I don’t feel like it tonight”
and less comfortable adding,
“but a back and foot and scalp massage would be heaven.”

Seems like we would all be somewhat healthier
wealthier
and wiser
if we were more articulate
about our bodies’ “need” language
while less reductively focused on
our little ego’s cognitive “want”
“don’t want” messages.

And, for that matter,
Allah adds
it might be nicer
if your national and global political conversations
followed this same trend
of ecological body integrity
with Buddha-mind communication patterns.

Rather than
“If you keep killing those innocent victims,
I’m going to spank you
and starve you.”
as if you had not had quite enough of both
rather than co-mentored love,
what about,
“I do not need you to lead us toward more death.
I do need you to do what we elected
and supported
and expected you to do,
to facilitate positive health and wealth trends
for me
and all Earth’s Tribes,
for life,
and all Time’s incarnating needs for health right now,
through future’s timeless generations,
positively trending outcomes
rooted in needs and not needs,
not-so-much about what you want
and don’t want
for your small-minded exclusive future.”

Our global Buddha body,
Earth as Sanghakaya
multisystemic incarnational economics of ecojustice,
evolves religious and cultural sanity
screaming for cooperative healing
while speaking PC
through appropriate channels
how nice we could all be
through competing for wealth
by following Allah’s nature and nation-building rules
of healthy reason,
inclusive organic seasons without threat of treason.

Our bodies need to compete cooperatively
even more than our minds want
to cooperatively compete.

It                       We
IS                       ISn’t
crazy                  sane
to                        not to
kill                      communicate
against               with
those                   you
“Allah                “Allah creation
has                       has not
created”              destroyed”
without               with
first                      terminally
sharing                killing
Allah                    Allah creation’s
beauty and joy   ugly and sorrow
hospitality           ballistics
generosity            competitive selfishness
integrity.               mendacity.

When economic and/or ecological interest
in ego
exceeds equivalent value
for economic interest
and comprehensive coverage
in eco-healthy wealth optimization,
then ego mind
operates out of cognitively dominant “want”
messages
rather than bodily-centered “eco-need”
messages,
rich environmental responses,
and healthy dialogue
of about and for optimizing life trends.

How could we incarnate
create
regenerate
economic or psychic wealth and health
not eco-logically balanced,
positively trending toward “beloved”
or “climax”
wealthy-health nutritional optimization
meeting Continuous Quality Improvement
Permacultural Standards
of Positive Design
and universally-uniting Development?

And, even if we could,
Buddha body would hate it
and Western mind
would disrupt into further cognitive-reductive dissonance,
rather than this emerging eco-consciousness
of Allah’s incarnate mind.

When We Were Eight

When you were eight years old
waking to another perfect day’s dawn
what potential did you
with your autonomic intuition,
integrity of left deductive
with elder-right languages,
discover?

Who were you
as you stepped into morning’s warm spring sun,
first reminder of school year’s end
and summer’s leisurely recreation
of imagination,
role play expansion,
languishing loved laughter
replacing more challenging team sports
requiring a win-lose assumption,
and visual coordination,
of space with time
invisible to your perception.

What were you doing
lying flat on your stomach
in dutch clovered lawn’s grasses
looking down into a miniature jungle
without rivers,
forest for ants
and their insect tribes
and neighbors
and nations
and cultures,
some with advantages and risks and beauty
of flight,
landing lightly in grass-blade tree tops
as ants pursued more industrial economies
of richly nutritional value below,
sweet crystalline treasures,
jewels for their Aunt Queen’s healthy investment
in embryonic royal vocation
of developing naturally organic time,
endosymbiosis of a new generation
of flying ants,
Bodhisattva Warriors
for polytribal peace
with interminable faith
in our integrity of nature’s ecological justice.

Where was your family-owned business
of incorporating love
with truth and hope for inclusive faith
flexible enough to include boys
vulnerably drawn to other boys’ eyes and skin,
more than girls’ laughter and light heartedness?

How did you invest your perfect humid August days,
breathing Lake Michigan’s thick air,
reading Gone With The Wind
in wonder of such rich diversity
of spirit and ownership,
of integrity and entitled stupidity,
of nobility both within and despite poverty
of mendacity both within and despite superfluously competitive wealth
commodifying even beauty
and power
and nobility
and darkly rich fertile race?

Why did you love this embracing place
of multigenerational space,
your private caressing sangha farm
gardening your bicameral heart and lungs
mind and limbs in love’s familial
yet vegetative and fruit-filled embrace
so that no other place
could ever bring this organic sacred home again,
so that each other space
might ever bring this home regained?

What Goes Squirrel Must Come Turkey

One who does not know
really knows,
and one who knows
really does not know.
Laotse

Squirrel medicine
under-stands external relations
economies
of stimulus leads to response
leads to ever competitively hoarding stimulus,
toward ever more response
of trees with tasty treats
of linear systems unfolding time’s next natural response.

Turkey medicine
COMPREHENDS internal interrelationships,
economies of ecologic,
dipolar revolving appositions
of apparent contrasts
co-arising within stimulating squirrels
and responsive nuts,
hunter and hunted
on their path toward mutually transformative cycles,
poop and pee feeding tree root systems
feeding leaves and flowers and seeds
feeding squirrels and turkeys.

Who rejoices?
We are.

What reckons and redeems dissonance?
Competing reiterative cycles of informating consumption.

When reconnection?
We are Now’s integrity potential.

Where confluent revolution?
Space’s where is Time’s when,
co-arising nondual redundancy.

Why recommit, rehabilitate?
Toward cooperative healthy purposes
of nature’s co-productive eco-normic meaning,
understanding what we already comprehend.

Dearest Cooperative Ego

When Oliver dropped out of high school, after his sophomore year, he went to UConn. We never understood why, other than the obvious, that the main campus was our back yard, and he didn’t like to drive, or use toilets outside our home.

He thought the whole academic degree industry was suspiciously rooted in Win-Lose Game Theory assumptions, which didn’t necessarily have to be true if we would all just wake up some morning and decide to go with Win-Win instead. Even so, he sailed through his GED exams and then spent over a year deciding whether to take some classes at UConn, or just continue writing prose and lyrics and gaming on-line with his intercontinental team, with a representative from each populated continent except Africa–an exception that he found not just irritating but actually embarrassing.

About the time he was deciding not to go back for his junior year, Oliver shared his “Dear Ego” letter with me. We were both surprised, I think, because he almost never wanted me to read his work, or play, as he preferred to think of it. But, this one he correctly thought I would find helpful:

Dear Ego

Please notice that “evil” is not only “live” spelled backwards, but it also is backward, or the reverse of, healthy living.

You do your evil, not-live, acts to test me, to learn justice, when you are wise enough to listen to our eco-logical response.

You evil out of ignoring y/our larger interdependent identity, to discover your individual and collective responsibilities, potential integrity, how and when and whom both live and not-live choices coalesce and differentiate.

Evil is about what and whom we don’t do and become that we could do, we could become, with sufficient power, individually and collectively.

You do not do evil to learn the causes and effects of generosity, to uncover our individual v. collective accountability for gratitude, for mutual redemption.

You both do and do not evil to mutually mentor fair balance of redemptive generosity, mercy, kindness, giving care, nurturing; to evolve Us, your SuperEco Co-Intelligence, to proactively practice peaceful resolutions, love’s fully inclusive resonance through time’s healing, synergy’s revolution.

You and I deliver this not-live evil of climatic competitive transactions, relationships,to spring loose love’s cooperative Boddhisatva Occupation of Earth’s eco-logically harmonious co-arising habitat.

Namaste my Beloved Sub-Climaxing Community.

Your Left-Hand Dominant Right Brain,

SuperEco Elder

 

I don’t know if this was a suicide note, or why I found this copy in front of his cold not-living, but still generously beautiful, body. It’s not even clear to me that Oliver’s death was a suicide, at least not as we usually understand this violence and sadness and despair against one’s future.

The medical examiner said he had never seen anything like it, although he had read an account of a chronically depressed dolphin living in captivity, who signed farewell to a favorite caregiver and then simply stopped inhaling air. Apparently that’s what Oliver did, or chose to not do anymore.

I miss Oliver’s deep beauty, his humor, brilliant integrity, even his profound sadness about our climatic disarray, our chronic insufficiency of loving the cooperative juice of eco-logical health flowing through his veins and neural system.

How I wish that I could redeem his not-live lack of healthy loving environment enough to persuade him to take in one more breath. But, Oliver was always like that. Not confidant that he deserved to breathe the polluted air he inherited from me, from us, from our choices.

I wish we had planted trees together. It was lonely planting that weeping willow in the ashes of his cooperative evil choice.

Regenerative Life ConScience Lessons

I said to my prodigal son
who stole from me,
it is not competitive economic strategies
that dominantly empower life;

Competitive ecologies and economies
are dominantly decomposing monocultures,
just the opposite of regenerative synergetic praxis
and intent to cooperate polyculturally.
Monopolistic internal cancer-culture
develops into decomposing organic systems
dissonant cognitive and emotive and neural and digestive systems
diseased health and well-being socioeconomic and political systems,
all negatively trending toward closed-entropic,
swollen monochromatic dismay replacing former systemic array.

They are cooperatively dominant economies and ecologies
integrating revolutions
that endo- and ecto-symbiotically evolve
nondual co-arising life regenerating systems.

Competitive critical events,
like stealing from and stolen from,
struggling between painful suffering of ego-self consciousness
and “positive deviant” stress,
self co-arising right-brained redactive eco-consciousness,
contention seeking bicamerally balanced contentment,
joint cooperative ego-eco echoing
waves of double-regenerationed comprehensive consciousness.

Primal stealthy hunt and structure
of cosmological information
evolves binomial-analogical,
bilateral-temporal,
binary-digital,
as polynomial information co-redeems
dual-transparently co-arising
Self+Other discernment.

“All money is a matter of belief”
said Adam Smith,
As all value is energy for relief from self-isolating sorrow,
said NowTime to HereSpace.

Transparent matters of belief
square-rooted in herstoric culture’s transparently coregenerating energy,
co-gravitational relief from dissonating stress.

I love my prodigal son,
perhaps somewhat more than he yet has capacity
to love his prodigal dad.
