Integrating Ecology and Psychology for Global Resilience

I’m reading The Evolving Self:
A Psychology for the Third Millennium,
by Czikszentmihalyi,
and How the West [sadly] Came To Rule:
The Geopolitical Origins of Capitalism,
Alexander Anievas and Kerem Nisanciogla
at the same time.

Czikszentmihalyi (C) wears academic labels of Positive Psychology,
interested in why and when and where
our neurosystemic psyche’s do cooperatively flow best,
and when our upper-caste preserving ego identities are more likely to get in the way
of resilient mental happiness,
a poly-empathic cobinary bliss zone.

Anievas and Nisconciogla (A&N), well, it’s complicated,
but Anievas wears a political scientist label,
and is interested in why and when and where differentiated economic and political forces are more competitively successful,
winning intercontinental history’s weaponized
ecosystemic trauma,
triggering further violent
dispassionate
unpleasant
and monotheistically unfortunate anthropocentrism.

This ecopolitical irreligious story unfolds
unevenly empowered by resilient polycultural resonance,
regenerative communications between healthy land
and prospering human associations
favoring multiculturally curious
eumemically (inter-religiously) positive
neuro-normative passion/pleasure
mind/body integrity

At least within our more Earth-matriarchal/Anthro-child
positive-associative healthcare home front
of transgenerational inter-religious development,
formation

Win omni-sentient Anthro-Mind neurosystemic peace
by co-passionate Gain-System strategizing
to resiliently Win
omni-pleasing EarthBody ecosystemic pleasure,
interdependently matriarchal
familial
and/or beloved tribal,
and/or democratically ecopolitical
monoculture-abolishing
creolization systems.

Here, international power relations
are less likely to grow up
and blow up
to become the proud military-capital invested parents
of our own internal winner v loser prodigal children,
human-caste elites stuck in preserving defensive evolution,
resisting neuro-offensive win v lose chronic devolution,
against synergetic wealth of non-elite sentient beings.

It remains unclear whether these Western Winners might have chosen to optimize more inclusive West/East and North/South bihemispheric meta-strategic Win/Wins
by leading with cooperative ecopolitical co-empathic trust
in interdependent organic safety
and sacred GaiaMother’s inter-religious web
of pronoia life co-operative neuro/eco-systemic belonging

Just as this is often unclear within our day-to-day anthro-family feuds,
or even the egoLeft-ecoRight bicameral battles
written across each ethotic-erotic
thought-safe/felt-belonging
Peace Warrior human heart.

I start wondering if C’s co-arising forces of Me v We ego-differentiation
within SafeSelf-with-BelongingOther pronoia flow
win/win strategic health-system opulence could,
on a wider, more geopolitical, scale,
be dynamically equivalent to A&N’s uneven Us v Them
geo-political maturation
within potentially integral
polyculturally associative
win/win pronoia strategic
polyculturing inter-religious prosperity,
ebbing and flowing internationally enlightened
and intercontinentally empowering trends
toward democratic-rich
caste-abolishing nurturance.

Appositional cobinary nondualism is at work in Yang force
midway appositional balancing,
rather than oppositionally opposing, Yintegral pronoia flow,
NorthWest monopolistic caste-preservation
patriarchal dominance
reserved for neurosystemic anthro-survival strategies
within ecosystemic normative thrival

Whole Open EcoSystemic
compassionate neuro-communication strategies

neuro-strategic positive eumemic
international democracy
intercontinental pronoia

co-intelligent peace development.

RightBrain felt multisensory intuition
could be an important resource
for Positive NeuroPsychology’s health-nurturing flow patterns
and resonant belonging rhythms
toward AnthroMe/EarthTribe-We
sacred/organic
ethotic/erotic
safe-purpose/deep-belong-meaning
co-redemptive symbiosis,
co-empathic healthy-ethos/loving-eros trust
extending ecopolitically warm
unconditionally democratic wealth.

In this time of urgent need to improve climate health,
rather than adding further pathological Yang LeftDominant
NorthWestern monotheistic aggressions,
Gaia Hypothesis evolution’s positive eumemic development i
invites healing through Yin-integrative resource flow,
reconnecting neuro/eco-therapeutic interdependent networks,
revolving our ego v eco
inside-anthro v outside-EarthTribe
deep multigenerational learning YangEgo humility
to more fully sustain
Yin’s eco-climate flow
tranquility.

Another approach,
also ending in whatever outside,
but not caste-under, “eco” means to you,
whether outside ego or home or Rome or religion or party
or even anthropocentric worship of capital-engorged purpose itself,
is to notice that anthro-dissociative history,
decontextualized from GaianEarth associative mystery,
is inside-Yang dominant

And Yin-RightBrain feels only through dialects of relationship.
The search for Yang/Yin balance is, in this sense,
a search for ecopolitical domestic Left/Right cobinary
eco-justice with neuro-peace flow harmony

Intergenerationally learned
and resonantly sustained
by the daily non-event miracles
of nonhistory’s matriotically integral evolutions
of sustained revolving climate health
continuing to struggle with monocultural
AnthroSentient upper-caste
negative militaristic and competing capitalistic
Win v Lose
ethos-egoMind v eros-ecoBody
eumemic wrongs
of Anthropocene-Monotheistic Western
climatic caste-preserving pathology.

This does not say,
nor imply,
that gender dissociative climates
and racial dissociative climates
and weaponized aggression climates
and economic competition climates
are all the same caste difference.
Nor does this suggest one is more desecrating than the other.
That would be a YangDominant process of construct differentiation.

Needed now, for multicultural polypathic deep learning,
are Yintegrity’s climate-transforming solidarities
regeneratively guiding AnthroCulture/EarthClimate
inter-religiously interdependent health
away from upper v lower caste pathologies,
both neuro-psychological and geo-political.

EarthWisdom Party

What would we need to know
about coming correctly to an EarthWisdom Party
if we were wanting to attend a cooperatively hosted party?

Well speaking for myself,
and I guess probably my extended at-risk family
of “failure-to-thrive” relatives and friends and neighbors,
certainly including polar bears and turtles
and frogs and mother-trees

Although I hesitate
to put my words in Other’s nutrition-consuming mouths,
or share my feelings about Other’s nutrition-producing root systems

I do so hope our cooperatively held agenda
works with compassionately communing
healthy wealth care

So we are all transparently clear
we do not work, or party,
dispassionately disinforming
pathologically impoverishing
climatic EarthFoolish uncaring
outrageous partisan competitions

Hosting,
instead of ghosting,
outrageously anthropocentric competitions
in consumer rape
and labor pillage parties.

Unfortunately,
some of us seem to already be too EarthPassion bereft
to transform these desecrating pathologies
we are compassionately against

Not really party-planning adept
with cooperatively co-invested refinements
of Earth’s health-wise wealth,
which we are all neurosystemically endowed
to get down boogie for.

That historically said,
and mysteriously unsaid,
I believe we all might,
in some deep meaningful layer of wokeness,
long for nurturing invitations
to cooperative economic
and political health-work parties
for playing Win ecological pleasure
to Win anthropological passionate
co-invested treasure games.

For someone who feels so hesitant to speak and sing and dance
co-invested with others,
I certainly do invest a lavish amount
of self-indulgent nonparty time
not transparently
and vulnerably
responding to this EarthWisdom Party
preparation question

Too distracted, perhaps,
by chronic EarthClimate trauma
to reconsider who is most often excluded
from active hope
to become more cooperatively co-invested
in EarthMother’s indigenous healthcare wisdom party.

Love grows easier to EarthWise cooperative party play
WinWin bicamerally fusing
flowing AnthroMind liberating
EarthBody conserving
co-passionate pleasure

No EarthWise Party bodhisattva
becomes optimally prepared
for full sacred mind invitation
until every breathing player wins
EarthGaia’s abundantly integrative potential
for democratic body health.

Bad Humors Destroy Feelers

Good Humors Create Healers

Electing and selecting humorless weaponed officials
to legislate and administer laws
empowering challenged and challenging
unarmed natures,
is like expecting a rabid rattlesnake
to advocate with and for patience,
understanding through calming and merciful listening,
to apply active love’s curiously empathic trust,
which no just law, or logical practice thereof, could prohibit.

The truth of complex situations,
so necessary to uncover for wise application of our ethical codes
for economic and political behaviors,
is best accessed by vulner-ability
to co-empathic trust,
active listening,
Basic Win/Win Anticipation,
as is intelligent paradoxical humor.

Loss of humor’s appositional equanimity
is an ominous spiritual v natural sign
Yet another rabidly riled-up,
not yet cooled-down, rattlesnake
with too much “healthiest defense
is a massively wealthy offense”
post-traumatic neurosystemic intelligence.

If you are feeling like delivering toxic venom,
rather than inviting kindness in return,
then probably best and brightest
to stay home
and curl up on a warm rock.

Hard-hearted victimization intent
to neglect and abuse,
marginalize and criminalize, others
is not softened or redeemed
by anything less or more than orthopraxis of loving kindness
with a good-humored smile, as possible,
without someone thinking you are up to something devious.

Pronoia’s comedy is most effective therapeutic drama
when transparently co-responding
to the co-empathic paradox
of paranoia’s tragically triggered trauma.

Those who expect citizens to behave civilly,
best mentor what they would optimally hope to see
on our FlashMob singing streets
and not MassMurder flinging roads
and life’s Competing Business As Usual highways
and bad rumored conspiracy byways.

Front-line customer service to those suspected,
or even known,
to struggle with bad-sad-mad humored tendencies,
cannot be optimally effective
by treating them to further misdemeanors of humorless
unglad
cold-blooded
unsym-pathetic
systemic winner v loser
0-sum paranoid rabidity.

Are you in our shared health-humored busyness?
or in our too much anger/fear pathological business,
or, paradoxically, both?

If both,
which direction seems to bring you,
and the rest of us,
economically wealthier ecological,
and healthier political,
resilient relationship outcomes?

I would love to anticipate more good humored officials
(and clergy)
for multiculturally transformative public health
and become less anxious
about officious nests
of reformative rattlesnakes
threatening venomous rabidity
of bad-sad-mad humored pathology.

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.

Muse Speaks II

This is a revised version of a piece published in a poetry anthology a few years ago. I have added an ecocide-prevention perspective to the original suicide-prevention focus.

When trauma lurks
with upper hand,
To know loss
is to fear death
of much-loved reputation
and taxing self-respect.

When therapy
lends Her feminist sway
to know
and co-invest in life
is to predict
and cherish waxing love.

For both these reasons,
we send a significantly wrong message
of blame the victim
when we post public health messages
like “Suicide is preventable”

Which is no more
or less true
than Systemic Trauma is
and is not preventable
within one anthropological
LeftBrain verbally dominant
monoculturally ecocidal lifetime,
or one healthy democratic trust relationship,
one compassionate communication PolyCulturing Story,
one encircling EnLightenMind/EmPowerBody
resiliently brilliant
resonantly elegant
polyamorous and possibly pantheistic
naked native Nature
sacred/organic
win/win narrative

Matrimonially prophesying,
When trauma lurks
with upper dissociative
and irreligiously patriarchal
right-handed fist,
To know mental depression
body-shaming repression
cognitive oppression
intuitive suppression
is to fear comprehensive
fight or flight
and critically frenzied frozen events
of neurosystemic,
and now also ecosystemic,
loss.

When therapy
lends EarthMother’s feminist sway
to know resonant win/win integrity
reconnecting healthy life’s
most resiliently wealthy impressions
is to predict patriotic trust
and matriotic safety,
animus penetrating truth
and anima receptive beauty,
expressive cognitive compassion
and impressive intuitive pleasure

Win/win thriving respite
from ego- and eco-distempered,
win/lose survivalist,
dissociatively irreligious,
RightWing dominant trauma history

To fully rekindle compassion’s
wealth embodied laughter
health mindful listening
EarthMother Muse lustery

Organic passion’s sacramental
deep erotic governing
exotically orgasmic

Beauty Becomes Us

When anthro-privileged consumers
of massive monotheistic miscommunications
replace faith in compassionate StatesMen
and bipartisan StatesWomen
with vainglorious hope
for straight white supremacist BusinessMen

Then what might have been a healthy
polycultural democracy
has now become just another nationalistic
monoculturing kleptocracy.

Sacred EarthMother
does not define
what matriarchal yin Beauty is,
and yet S/He seems to refine
what patriarchal yang Ugly is not.

Morning Rounds

I woke up this morning
wondering where I was last night
when this morning,
a glint in my mind,
before wandering how I last got home
here from last night
again

Hoping
without probable gumption
maybe if I figured transport out
and in
I might have a clue about why
I woke up yesterday morning
wondering where I would end up last night

And just before last night’s end
when this morning couldn’t yet answer
any endtime circling questions
I wondered how I arrived
at this tomorrow
differently
and the ecocidal same

Approaching win/win play
and avoiding win/lose AnthroSupremacist work

Before becoming fully present
to yesterday’s disempowering promise
once curiously engaging
resilient win/win more

Sacred listening nighttime deeper
and multicultural trauma-prevention
daylight wider
long-term cooperative
co-invested ego resilience
following my most resonant
win/win sacred ecosystemic
re-entry Tao of brilliant
nonviolently communicating
inside/outside balance

Of morning rounds
perilously in-between lose/lose
nightmare traumatic despair
and win/win delight

Transition Town Time

It was E. B. White
who famously lamented

Waking each morning
feeling prevented
from improving
his worldview experience

Or waking each morning
feeling joy
for improvements made
during views of Earth
sacred smack in Her
other wise dead head
inexperience

Or something
probably not so involved
but with the same
missing the potential
for

Waking each morning
committed to enjoy improving
my co-invested worldview
sacred health-humored
wealth of experience.

But not in a preachy
judgment way,
more of a cosmic beauty
sacred green holonic
kinda open wholeEarth systemic
sort of win/win play

More trauma-informed
by advocates
for green cooperative
deep learning non-violent communication
ecofeminist EarthTribe Day
and Transition Town Time
for restoring resilient EarthJustice.
