Running Away from Ren

Why is it
as I watch The International CEO Actor
unilaterally Ordering disinvestment
in both domestic and Earth’s cooperative-organic health,
I feel cold harsh January snowblow storms?

Dismaying cold
calling me toward hibernating silo of unencumbered sleep,
possibly to dream of sequestering unpaid taxes
to invest, instead,
in WinWin EcoPolitical Cooperative Ownership
for Health-As-Wealth EcoRegional Management
of personal and famiial and community regenerative self-governance resources
for thrival,
come this warmer, flowering Spring investment time.

Why is it,
as I grapple with the Gordons’ bicameral-bilateral cooperatives,
their ecopolitical creolization of CEO-Elitist histories
with marginalized matriarchal-growing proletariat cooperative herstories,
understories of deep ecological learning Positive Deviant polypaths
toward SpringTime’s evolving eco-liberation for all EarthTribe;
why is it, again, that creole polypathically outgrows competitive WinLose devolutionary assumptions
about nihilistic-totalitarian future prospects
rather than healthier summer climates
inside as multiculturally outside?

Why is it,
as I LeftBrain deductively devour Lakoff’s bicameral LeftProgress
and RightConserve,
regenerate health to disinvest from immoral pathological degeneration,
I see China’s teleological search
for humanity’s Yang/Yin EcoBalance
and not so much our Executive Ordered jingshen kongxu (anti-humane-ing void)?

And,
India’s quest for more regenerate positive karma toward thrive,
And JudeoChristian narrow-dense-rich normative-moral,
natural experience with spiritual attracting/repulsing
bilateral WuWay of cooperative Grace (not competing Hubris),
defeating BusinessAsUsual Executive Supremacist Condemnation
to LoseLose nihilistic Hell as Earth’s unpromising Fallen Future.

And Islamic ecological Paradise of Tremendous Yang-Allah Wonder
rather than immune-marginalized,
and Alien emarginating
degenerating Sojourner Hospitality
into Terrorist WinLose economic and political fear-rooted aggression,
while desertification of colder and older blasted MotherLands
squandering rape of Yin cooperative-integral matriarchal organic health-networks,
continues to escalate toward inevitable January nihilism,
coldly old stagnant militaristic FascistTradition,
where once lived blossoms of organic love
of patriarch/matriarch ego/eco-balancing life systems.

Mutual Terrorist LoseLose Destruction,
rather than Cooperative WinWin ReGenerational Optimization,
in response to watching The CEO
unilaterally Ordering disinvestment
from Earth’s regenerative-resonant climates of health and safety,
both domestically and internationally hibernating
in ren-searching silos
of hope for healthier liberating Spring.

God of Healthy Climates

God is a self-perpetuating
self-referencing
self-reiterative
self-regenerative verbal climate.

NotNot God is a timeless self-perpetuating climate
transcending extremes of climaxing health
and devolutionary pathology,
embracing
warmly and coldly
all mindbodies in-between.

AnthroSpecies’ sacred intelligence of recreating
evolving
incarnating God as our own climatic images,
capable of forecasting weather and atmosphere
and ice-melts and ozone depletions and repletions,
with empathy breathing internal mental unhealthy paranoia climates,
personal ecopolitical concerns issuing in through our senses,
breathing out through Earth’s co-empathic climates
of healthy ecotherapeutic days
and dualdark melting inferno futures.

NotNot God is climate health and pathology,
Within Yin and without Yang,
as anima-shadow below
so animus above burning rays of SunGod
heating and cooling Gaia’s human infestation,
recreating Her humane incarnation,
or so we multiculturally hope and climatically pray
and play and recreate.

Each AnthroSelf of God lives within two health climate frames
of ego-political performance,
an internal climate,
sometimes health-investing in thrifty cooperative therapies,
and an external ecopolitical climate,
sometimes too competitively stingy
to coinvest in our shared EarthTribal health,
preferring to hoard nature’s empty-caloric chump change climate
of dissonant ticking, clicking, counting, hiding despair.

Wealthier sacred sustaining liturgical incarnations
more likely evolve within fully co-invested Gods and Goddesses
of ecopolitical healthy climates.

Racing with the Sun

Identifying as a Taoist-Christian hybrid,
a polypath feasting on root systems
of East meets West
Right greets Left
Yin embraces Yang
does not make me a good Christian
or a good Taoist.

However, these permaculturing designs
on polyculturing polypathic sensory-neural healthy outcomes
do seem to help me become the best
transliterative
transgenderal
transregenerational evolving Taoist-Christian
I can imagine
and care for with gratitude,
peaceful empathic trust
as both sufficiency of political power
with cooperative nutritional economic enrichment practice,
orthodoxy of experiential non-violent unitarian intent.

Yang without Yin,
an angry fire-breathing SunGod
of vengeful omnipotent wrath–
universally frustrated fertility.
Yin without Yang
becomes a whimpering wilting virgin
without hope of ever giving birth
or even experiencing pleasure with integrity
in Her cell-bound reiteratively ruminating purgatory.

But Earth abhors this double-binding vacuum,
absence of healthy prime-binomial abundance
as light not bilateral-square rooted through past and future
fades dual dark.

To become full-bicameral poli-economically humane
is to empathically trust
not only Nature’s absence of absent primal
physical/metaphysical
nature/spirit relationship,
but to enrich maturation by fertilizing these primal hybrids,
health as loving life’s intention,
yang as yin’s bilateral reiteration,
trusted PolyNomials actively evolving co-empathic notnot PolyPaths
until we together emerge through this Great Transition
belonging to and with Earth’s Tribes
(0)-sum prickly-goos (Alan Watts)
Convex fractal Concaves (Buckminster Fuller)
universal unitarians (UUA)
ecopolitical revolutionaries of co-empathic trust
that love conquers evil through dipolar absorption
as evil defeats love
through over-yanged monocultural exertion.

Love and co-arising pleasure grow
as long-suffered excesses of mutual immune mistrust give way
to all colors matter
as all octave frequency balances and harmonies materialize resonant experience
more positively meaningful to us than their dissonance,
as all lives and deaths matter,
and not only anthrocentric lives,
not only biocentric lives;
we materialize-incarnate most optimally as ecoconscious lives
and deaths
within Earth’s great multicultural co-empathic arias of operation
perpetually revolving ecocentric dance.

It is a monoculturing pace
of human political-economic race
suboptimizing historical-cultural distrusts of racism
for polyculturing peace
waiting on our great transitioning wings.

Remembering Radical Relatives

Explain your historical evolution radically, inclusively, expansively, a sense of humor wouldn’t hurt;
not carefully, deductively, reductively, sarcastically.

We once had a school of thought
among up and coming geneticists and historians
that the precursor to the regeneration of a species,
or even an ecological paradigm,
most any kind of reiterative memory and retrieval system,
is like a loosening of instructive but too-dominant stresses
within our DNA MoreContentedNature Codex,
so we can act more like a school of thoughtful fish
then a vile swarm of rabid media piranhas feeding on pariahs.

That is,
the Golden Rule shifts from too Positive or too Negative
to Both-And (0)-normative Earth Balanced.

What was regeneratively exegetical,
orthodox trusted reality
becomes part of a staged multi-generational change process
influencing what had remained only eisegetically (0)-soul hoped for,
a healthier,
more nondual co-arising sensory therapeutic-cooperative
political-economic as ecological bicameral healthy trusting balance.

Some scientists and philosophers said maybe true,
and some said maybe not.
On the maybe true side was a Professor Demings,
speaking of evolution as increasingly positive freedom trends
away from overly-instructive, deductive, reductive dominance
of [co-empathic?] neural-rooted communication networks.

Meanwhile Bucky Fuller was ranting and rhyming on
about the information/exformation regenerative exchange ratios evening out,
and how this is climatically essential for growing political and economic cooperation
to emerge a new system that will replace the PreMillennial Competitions of Ecology v Economics,
as if they were not the same Eco (0) Root System of therapeutically nutritional dialectical geometrics of synergetic-evolving language.

Then we remembered that natural systems produced more (0) Positive/NotNot Negative
health anomalies with less loss,
as compared to our PreMillennial Received View
of evolution as BusinessAsUsual
fundamentalist WinLose Games
taking place between Heaven on Earth,
dying to decompose and fission and burn
to separate ourselves into Silos of Eternal Hell.

Then, with a bicameral mindbody nudge from Julian Jaynes,
half of the Great Transition bicameral minds deductively noticed which deviations are cooperative-positive,
and which are pathologically negative,
rooted in which have the greatest nutritional harmonics
and deepening dynamic effect that is most sustainable,
like political/economic self-invested cooperative networks,
rather than all those struggling against potential Losers
so they can become political and economic Winners, over others.

Suddenly community and economic developers became ecotherapists
and ecologists became facilitators
of bicameral group-dynamic system and anti-system trust theorists,
realtors joined farmers marching for greatest and highest and deepest resonant values
as those with least struggling-against competitive health futures.
Highest and Healthiest Interior as Exterior Landscape Use
with least effort
means no readjustment of (0)ZenTao Culture needed,
weeding and watering not much required,
yet notnot irrational to anticipate polypathic nutritional WinWins
through at least Seven ReGenerations.

During the final stage of the Great PostMillennial Wave of Transition,
the multicultural strengths of Positive Yang-Information
are found to be the fractal-seasonal-temporal balancing therapy
needed to respond effectively to prior notnot Yin-Squared
dualdark dissonant negative alternative trends.
By definition,
too Yin RightBrain-recessive,
concave (B. Fuller),
and yet implicate predictors (David Bohm) of this new
postmillennial Yang/Yin cooperative bicameral speciation opportunity.

We noticed
back in early PostMillennial Time,
ConvexYang was competitively too dominant,
and therefore negative
in dipolar response to ConcaveYin,
too repressed to fulfill her positive-cooperative potential
for nurturing natural integrity.
Together these function toward averaging in/ex-functionality,
balanced evolutionary positive psychology
of ecoconsciousness,
co-empathic dipolar bicameral trust,
within and among our extended family selves.

Now, further in to more PostMillennial Golden Rules
of cooperative politics-economics-ecologics,
Evolutionary Psychology aligns with Positive Psychology
and Compassionate socioeconomic (0)sum political-economic
ecological health therapy,
mndfulness extending from childhood dreams through adult (0)Zen polypathic listening and movement, praxis of breathing ecoconsciousness both internally and externally,
in and out, treat within as without,
for WinWin.

Psychologists and other equally PolyPathic Evolutionists
stepped into comprehension
that the reason one positive or double-negative nomial,
variable relationship,
seems to associate with another,
is because everything is caused by everything
as unreality is not caused by nothing,
and anti-reality is caused by mutual-immune deficiencies
of cooperative Uracil/Cytosine functional balance,
as Yang/Yin fractal harmonics,
as +1/-,-0 binary, double binding, bilateral, binomial (0)sum thermodynamic balance,
as predicted by QByte health v. pathology value trends,
co-arising positive WinWin,
ecobalancing Earth’s LoseLose competitive absence
of co-gravitation,
co-empathic political and economic mutual subsidiarity,
cooperative complementarity of trust
in ReGeneratively Healthy Landscapes
personally within
as ecotherapeutic political power without.

Avoid leadership offers from Over-Yanged Supremacist Plutocrats
disguising themselves for self and other esteem
as globally benign democrats.
Long-term health trends don’t look so good
from this PostMillennial perspective.
On the other hand,
good luck finding a GlobalHealth Democrat
willing to invite Plutocrats
to invest in our highest and healthiest cooperative banquet.

Live radical polyempathic highest and deepest and healthiest truths,
political-economic cooperative trusts,
Earth-centered multicultural loves.

Explain us.

Psalm to Earth

I love your rich times,
moments stolen from parched yesterdays,
and stern disciplined tomorrows.
I live your warm scent times of leisure
through future’s dark crimes
and climbs
up egocentric ladders.

I miss our deep earth tones,
light prisms of dew drop in color,
our speech for free reign
before we missed racing DNA rhymes
shouting thinthin shared bones
of resonant echoing polystructures.

I know our love tones
our paradise place for free form
flying empathic spacetime
where Earth’s reasons have rhymes,
and three space dimensions
equal one bilateral NOW time.

I love your vast humor
compassion for fools
fearing only to become
ego-deflated fools together,
your red flows rich manna,
free golden embryonic elixir
of regenesis,
thru fools,
not their crowns

I often am reminded
we are far more alike than different,
we all enter and exit
through co-arising ecosystemic host windows
of angry opportunity and fearful risk,
and Tao’s wu wei between.

Yet, I wonder,
as I gaze out at bicameral co-laterally dynamic trees,
organically planted structures,
how far more alike than different
are RNA within racing DNA regenerating
further polyculturing younger branches
and ecoconscious root systems
of healthy ecotherapeutic Time.

The seeds of polycultural eco-revolutionary cooperatives
already embryonically implied
in monocultural ego-dominant enculturation
of nature’s polypathic regenerating diapraxis,
fractal-functions of zero-zen
Time as BiCamerally Balanced Tao,
Universally MultiIntegrative Self-Perpetuation
through MidWay Tipping Point WinWin
CoOperative PolyCultural Optimization.

I love your rich zero-times,
moments stolen from parched dissonant yesterdays,
and climate learning tomorrows.

Improvisations on a cultural theme

It was sometime back in the 70’s,
my later 20’s,
I woke up one morning to realize
EgoSelf as an often dissonant nest
of natural systemic TaoEarth,
a mindbody bicameral treehouse
in some way that felt socially
and economically
and perhaps even politically awkward.

Too much like an Ugly Duckling Ego
in a Cinderella Opera,
clearly expecting myself to overcompensate
for my alien social-regenerative nature,
by learning to play each of the other roles
co-arising adeptly.

Prince Charming to my kids and husband,
somehow especially sadly
because I have the only AngloIdentified
AnthroBioSystem
in my Ugly StepSister/Brother and Cinderella and
Prince Charming family.

Carefully avoiding LoseLose Political-Economist
as SuperUgly dualdark StepMother
of malicious,
mendacious,
hateful intent
to play out a MonoCulturally supremicist Win-Lose Opera,
with me in charge of racist misery.

It was not until we all began stretching together
to comprehend what it means,
in terms of health and beauty,
goodness and truth,
to become daily reborn
into a PostMillennial Taoist Unitarian Universalism,
more richly hued polycultural health outcomes increase.

In this PostTaoist UU Landscape,
I have come to correlate
Left MindBody Language,
with YangPowered nutritional-natural health outcomes

If, and only if,
co-arising MidWay Tipping Point
of deductive-within-inductive mutual nature/spirit interest and value,
Elder Right MindBody Inductive-Empathic-Subjective
nutritional-nurturing PermaCultural
dialectical decomposition confirms
RNA (0)-soul regenerative health enculturation-confluence,
contentment,
no ecosystemic stress,
trending toward PolyCultural Climaxing Outcomes,
where P as Exterior Landscape
reiterates reverse-temporal intention
of NotNot P as EcoInterior Right MindBody Landscape.

This is densely substantial and speaks of rich fertility,
and is kind of a lot to carry around in one bicamera-rolling mindbody ecosystem,
but,
for us,
together, I hope,
our already shared Main (0)Mega Point Principle of Time,
is a dipolar nature-spirit nondual radically symbiotic hypothesis

Universal-ConVex c-squared YangTime
functions unitarian within 4D RealTime e-squared
PrimeRelational Right MindBodies
co-arising
Newtonian gravitational waves -,-
Einsteinian radiant frequency bilateral +,+ mutually positronic-elational,
are also double-bound reverse-immune aptic-negentropic-electronic fractal ballast.

I hope you are familiar with Right-brain love of health as symmetry
and truth and goodness
and light rather more than dual dark
as sensual-polycultural-receptor color and tone,
autonomic temporal balance of bilateral/bicameral systems,
breathing and heart-beat norms of mindbody health,
blood flow nutrient ebb and flow streams of energetic balance,
these bilateral-revolving flow structures,
like DNA ladders
twisting in fractalspiral ordered revolutions
never quite reaching EgoHome,
but fully-defining-refining
our Earth-centered hearts and rivers
of internal nutritional blood-systemic fueled
neural mindbody flow systems of balance,
ebb-exhale YinUnitarian,
flowing inhale diastolic Yang Universal.

Now I unfold each morning
stepping into a PermaCulturing Opera,
co-arising Janus-faced bicameral mindbody spacetime
and language,
dialects and seasonal nutritional dynamics of light love
and peaceful contentment-nature,
with dipolar appositional dualdark AngerLose-FearLose
cognitive-affective dissonance,
Tipping Point notices from Elders past
ruminating dualdark voices of Time’s languaged present
co-presence,
(0)-EcoConsciousness.

Buckminster Fuller often plays
Elder Ugly Duckling Prophet and Father of Time.
He speaks eco-logos to biological UU systems
using analogies of temporal-bilateral dialects,
diapraxis,
diastasis,
transforming-fusing fold and unfold functions
metaphysical correlations incarnating physical form,
co-development of regenerative health potential.
Time folds Yang convexly,
Physical Universe as closed present-tense diastatic potential,
achieved through cooperative co-mentorship of design and development,
Time unfolds Yin bilaterally OpenSystemic,
concavely unitarian-integral-dialectic-fractal-prime-dipolar-relationship-elation-co-gravitation-implicate-string-nature’s-time-syntaxed-order….

And, maybe,
wondering what you UniversalYang with UnitarianYin Right MindBody Balance
bicamerally ego/eco-conscious folks polypathically think,
what we might find,
discover,
recover,
within Bucky Fuller’s Synergy,
as Polycultural Climax ReGenerative TemporalSpatial Design,
and elsewhere too,
in PermaCultural apps for cooperatives
economic
and political
and ecological
and health-value systems
divesting of toxic monocultural over-competitive anthro-development
within this lifetime’s EgoDeductive-Dominant PreMillennial Memory.

Revolution In Hand

Worth Two in a Biochromatic Universal Bush

Our permaculturist agenda,
primal principle of economic/ecological design,
is developing,
spreading,
hunting and stealing into fissures
fractally fracturing Business As Usual,
competitive monomials unveil Transitional Dual-Destiny of Time.

Nothing any one person or nation could do
or not choose to do
can stop this Polycultural Revolutionary Cooperative.
It is too late to stop,
too early to deductively dominate,
contracting life’s optimization with dissonant decompositional chaos.

This Revolution emerges from Business As Usual,
from Received View logistics,
from Win-Lose gaming and strategic ego-centric theories,
as day emerges from night,
as summer springs forward winter’s dual-dark purgation
of matter’s synergizing bilaterally energetic root systems,
decomposing regenetic folds of co-arising gravity,
gracious gravy,
positive balancing negative-squared karma,
incarnation
life as co-arising love,
as Polycultural Earth’s Eternal Revolution.

On the other hand,
we have vast resources
we could each pro-actively invest
in co-arising comprehensive revolution-consciousness
to optimize our healthy wealth of paradise,
each day,
with each cooperative choice
to further evolve nature’s revolution
by minimizing our human nature’s ego-ionic
ironic small-self promotional decomposition
into Win-Lose theories of economic games,
competitive strategies for ecodislogical short-term gain.

Earth’s Revolutionary Dual-Destiny Manifesto:
All DNA/RNA enscribed Earth Tribes
embrace our metasystemically therapeutic synergetic balance,
self-organizing equivalent enrichment,
nutritionally optimizing families and species.
This co-arising embrace is our economically co-redemptive vocation,
our human naturally ecological cooperative,
our permacultural designing subject of vast interest
with polycultural balancing Beloved Community objectives.

As Earth’s synergy and human nature’s love
grow analogously symmetrical,
co-arisingly synonymous
applicable to all life,
all natural systems,
any system worthy of this primally cooperative label,
so too ecological analogies of co-arising evolutionary balance,
formation,
information,
natural fractal and octave-frequency harmonics,
temporal four-seasonal development and decay,
these are economically analogous symmetries of reason
as fair-“true” balance
throughout all Earth’s ecto-cooperative relationships
with endo-balancing, sometimes challengingly dissonant,
transactions
relationships of co-challenging competing,
struggling with “Other”, while not struggling against,
toward co-arousal as co-gravitating energy.

Prophet of this Great Transitional Revolution,
Bucky Fuller defines positive information
as comprehension of Universal Intelligence,
and defines Universal Intelligence
as RNA’s fractally regenerative principle
of living natural-temporally unfolding-refolding systems.

And permacultural developers
comprehend natural healthy-wealthy systems
as those with polyculturally sustainable perennial climactic dynamics,
unfolding time across four regenerative seasons,
from winter’s advent of eco-normic decompositional analysis,
to spring’s gross consumption of seasonal nutrients,
to summer’s regenerative maturation
producing falling seeds of polyculturally-embedding healthy rich value,
comprehending winter’s advent of fractal-season decomposition
through Revolutionary Regenerational Fractal-Systems.

As con-scientists,
as herstorians,
as bicamerally encultured anthropologists,
as permaculturist developers,
our optimal comprehension of nature’s consciousness
becomes regenerative and co-redemptive belonging.
We divinely, sacredly, lovingly co-evolve
co-passion’s solar fueled
mutually subsidiary
informating cooperative of Tribes,
open, interdependent,
(not so much closed and independent)
evolving co-expansive/contractive Live-System codex,
appositionally defining and refining
as not-not, reverse-eviL-closed,
and non-polynomially equivalent
to Yin-squared as +/(-,-)e-squared prime metric relationship,
equinox equivalent to C-squared = +/- Yang Polynomial
Self-Optimizing Tao-Systemic
as Right-hemispheric intuitive syntax
of memory’s logical storage
and co-gravitational retrieval system,
balancing Left-hemispheric deductive-experiential,
and linguistic capacity,
and cultural iconic expression,
through psychologic as permacultural logical systems theory
of positive evolution toward this moment,
our Polycultural Revolution
sweeping through religious-cultural-scientific exegesis,
metasystemic Earth Tribe’s ecopolisocio-metric therapy.

Logos Yang meets and greets
mythic Yin-Yin’s bi-elliptical zeroistic flowing dance,
dark midway between synergetic love
and entropic decomposing dissonance,
recomposing co-arising balanced Prime Relationship,
Principle of Thermodynamic Balance,
if 2-squared equals 4,
then 1-monoculture squared
equals +/(-)2-binomially temporal-implied relationship,
as 1 fractal-rooted natural revolution
evolves square-rooted in
through

when we co-arise +/(-,-) (0)-Commons Healthy-Wealthy Sense.

Our Positive Revolution In Hand
equals Two Negative Not-Not Devolutions
of our bicameral zen-zero buddha-bush.

My Perfect President

Open letter to President Obama:

9/17/2015

Two things. A thank you, and a suggestion for our shared global future, confronting increasingly rapid climatic, with concomitant cultural and economic, transitions.

First, thank you for the pleasure of watching and listening to your comparative political and economic sanity for the past eight years. Enthusiastically voting for you twice, although you are not my “perfect” candidate, was such a relief and pleasure. And, your performance in what appears to be a largely thankless and hopeless position, has been graceful and sometimes even respectful of honest differences in priority. When comparing our financial investment in your presidential campaigns, and the cost to your personal integrity, to any positive health and well-being return, I see where this may have made sense for the rest of us, but I find it miraculous that you so generously accept your losses, along with your wins.

Second, my suggestion moves toward optimizing political and economic potential for addressing what we have labeled “climate warming,” but is actually the multisystemic problem of over-heated climate change. You seem to see the difference, and recognize the awesome scale of this challenge, especially during the already-shrinking projected normal life spans of our children, and grandchildren. So the requisite motivation to recognize and accept climate change as our most profoundly significant “well-being” global rights issue, as well as a national issue, you already have in your pocket.

No doubt you have noticed by now that even the President of the United States and the General Secretary of the United Nations, perhaps those two positions even more so than for all of us regular folks, daily confront a huge gap between what you are motivated to do and what you are powerful enough to accomplish. With political empowerment comes greater global and cultural and socioeconomic responsibilities, and aspirations. If you are any good as a person at all, I think you step into this larger-scale of consciousness, and you and your family do appear to be very good people indeed.

Perhaps helpful, with regard to our political “stuckness”, I am also noticing a considerable growth and refinement of two paradigms that appear to be co-arising toward nonduality, which, if you are familiar with Buddhist and/or Taoist philosophy, is the kind of evolution that has a way of becoming revolutionary, in a positive way. These two paradigms are Permaculture Design (and Development) and New (Feminist) Economics.

Each of these paradigms analyzes Business As Usual to point toward our urgent need for cultural and economic local-scaled cooperative-nurturing systems (including healthier ecosystems) to replace our current messiness. Business As Usual includes Win-Lose Game Theory, Left-brain dominant deduction, competition, economic and evolutionary cultural dynamics of entropic-trending dysfunction and over-specialization.

Since retiring from grant and program development for Connecticut human service agencies, I have been reading economics as presented by Riane Eisler (The Real Wealth of Nations), John Michael Greer (The Wealth of Nature), and Charles Eisenstein (Sacred Economics). Each is brilliant and together they shape an economic dipolar pattern contrasting Received View financial growth as economic wealth with a newer, more cooperative-centric economics of health, positive nutrition:

  • healthy production balancing consumption, and
  • polycultural health as root-value measure of wealth regeneration within eco-logically cooperative systems that today emerge from our current exponentially-growing global consensus that well-being has already begun trending toward decomposition.

Permaculturists, from Laotse through Buckminster Fuller and on to today’s booming industry of healing Earth and residents thereof, take as much interest in the ecological balance of regeneration and decomposition as economists invest in expanding v. contracting economic health of production/consumption systems.

Eisenstein (2011) calls the New Economics “sacred” economics, but, boiled down into natural system language, his sacred might be translated with Buckminster Fuller’s synergy; a positive-trending cooperatively-evolving dynamic integrity of health trend systems design and development. Further, Eisenstein seems to interpret “divine,” as contrasted to profane, as integrity v. deductive-reductive-redactive competing identities and independently eisegetical understanding. It is a profane Business As Usual culture assuming oppositional either-or Win-Lose evolutionary strategies and logistics, when it is more ectosymbiotically integrative to heuristically hold both-and Win-Win appositional challenges and comparisons and tipping-points, leading toward nondual co-arising strategies and more comprehensive polycultural consciousness.

What are Win-Win cooperative political, economic, and ecological outcomes that are achievable given the current climate in Washington, the U.S., and Earth?

I think we already do agree on, and are united within, one primary concern: How can I (and we)

  • invest in optimizing my health and well-being,
  • assure the right of full healthy development of my dependents, and all I love,
  • continue learning and mentoring wise and natural-systemic discernment, rather than merely learning to produce and consume more efficiently,
  • prudently invest my life exclusively within long-term just-right maturation, by avoiding short-term high risk gains in a sense of wealth that has become divorced from health of life’s intrinsically regenerative value.

We could each and all choose to invest our balancing budgets in cooperative economic industry, vocations, residences, communities, local ecosystems and polyculturally inclusive transformations of monoculturally silo-entropic decomposition, or Win-Lose Business As Usual. This choice of cooperative polycultural development over competitively self-isolating monocultures reflects the permaculturist’s approach to each site for redesign, but also our approach to each day, each life, each word and communication choice, each food and recreation choice. It seems possible to recognize that Martin Luther King’s Beloved Community is equivalent to the permaculturist’s Climax Community and the cooperative economist’s 7-Generation planning for optimal life-sustaining cooperative health-investment networks; where health is interpreted as broadly as Thich Nhat Hanh’s positive nutrition for all the senses, most definitely including aesthetic health, proportion, rhythm, patterns of form, function, and frequency.

If  all life, and future human quality of life in all its diversity of colors and cultures, matters, this new economic permacultural paradigm could be the basis of

  • deep learning theories in public education,
  • taught to every politician entering elected office,
  • every military strategy leader and teacher,
  • every policy analyst and designer,
  • every government employee and volunteer and intern training program, including the Peace Corp and AmeriCorp/VISTA.

Turning public education and public financial investment away from supporting further monoculturally-trending competition, and toward healthy polyculturally-trending cooperative systems and networks, could work for both sides of the nation’s partisan aisle.

This would be an impressive way to both exit as President, and enter as what Laotse would call a sagacious ruler; a permaculturally proficient polyculturist of cooperative economics, natural evolutionary relationships, and ecological well-being. That is what I would wish for you and your family, as I wish for mine.

If you are looking for a permaculturist with systems design and development expertise, I strongly recommend Joanna Macy, in California, sometimes, teaching in the Berkeley area.

Thank you for your response to our still-emerging climate change issue.

Namaste,

Investing in Divestment

I become confused, and I so hope it’s not just me, by the ethical landmine of divestment.

Does purging myself of toxins atone for all my sins absorbing them? Does the divestment of a negative value create a positive value, and is it at least as positive as the negative was negative?

Should I, instead, stand among my kindred stockholders in sackcloth and ashes, repenting, perhaps a little self-flagellation helped along by the bewilderment of my fellow sinners about what may seem to them as excessive as a monk transforming into a crackling flame of protest?

Does quiet divestment optimize my opportunities and responsibilities for ecologically balanced values, where negatives greet positives as ancient appositive allies, like Yang and Yin, and space and time, identity and individuation, places and spaces?

Something about the stark simplicity of divestment feels unnatural, like deliberately choosing to ponder the monochromatic negatives of grayscale tucked inside a back cover of my favorite full-color family album.

Holding a stock to protest against whatever values and disvalues may be represented by that stock seems like a lively example of talking talk without walking in the way I am suggesting to others. Divestment is to mentoring as stockholder action is to lecturing others to not do as you have ever done yourself. Why not divest and then send out a memo:

Dear Fellow Publicans and Sinners,

Just want you to know I sold off my stock in Toxic Fuels and Chemicals, Incorporated, for the best price I could get in exchange for an investment in a poisonously unsustainable lack of future for our kids. I claim no moral virtue for doing what is so clearly in my own best interest, just because it also happens to be in your best interest as well. Nor do I mean to gloat over my continuing investments in self-serving corporate structures, rather than cooperative and sustainable, inclusive, and, by the way, icing on the cake, economically buoyant and resilient investment opportunities.

You see, when I finally realized why I want to divest from extractive short-term high risk markets, it suddenly came as quite the epiphany that I want to take that money and invest it in cooperative, long-term low risk and locally nutritious and sustainable enterprises. Rich opportunity and value, indeed!

Apparently eco-logical reinvestment policies and procedures are much less value-ambiguous than divestment quagmires, not only ethically and environmentally, but financially and biologically and sociologically, and, oh yes, teleologically too. The intersection of my experience’s meaning and our future’s purpose, to remember we all got into this incarnational mess together and we will each get out of it what we bring into clearing it up for ourselves and future generations.  As for the rest, it’s just a messy commodity investment confusion, searching for a wiser Left and Right brained balanced economy.

Namaste and Peace Out to all fellow travelers,

G. O. Dillenbeck
