HomeRunning Ego

Ego is the label psychology gives us
to describe our ecoconscious experiences,
those cooperatively-nutritionally sustaining climate health

internal and external climates and landscapes
cultures and networks
primal relationships

and those competitively-toxically assaulting climate health,
internally and externally devolving

decaying RightBrain-Body feelings
and LeftBrain worded anthropocentric thoughts
of ego/eco-passions and dispassions

internal/external confluent
when not dissonant,
dissociated

When re-associated
without ‘ego’ off-centering preference,
without attachment to “independent” ego empire building

Non-0-sum
nonverbal
non-violent
interdependent polypathic-polyvagal awareness,
internal ego-forming as externally eco-formed

beginning with Brain-Body formation,
empathic trust Crown dominant
within matriarchal Root nutritional paradise
of embryonic climate health.

EcoMother emerges Ego development
through our Exodus from Eden’s Genesis

birth canal emergence into Earth Tribe
regenerating/degenerating Earth’s climate health/pathology.

Ego health begins and ends
enveloping healthy compassionate contentment
in our own interdependently languaged thoughts-with-feelings skin,
bicameral hearts,
bicameral brains,
polyvagal bodies,
Crown to Root spinal cords
neuro-sexsensory systems
living inside eco-sexsensory systems…

To grow a healthy Ego
is to become polypathically ecoconscious of climate therapies,
internal and external,
anthro/ecologically symbiotic.

Symbiotic relationship
is a term evolutionary theory gives us
to regenerate an organic theology
of ego/eco transubstantiation

sacred ecological purpose
toward polyculturally interdependent robust climates
of thriving democratic life-care systems.

Ego LeftBrain words and economic and political thought
and practice, practice, practice,
emerge from Elder RightBrain matriotic eco-consciousness
to become more cooperatively Animus/Anima grace-full

co-arising
belonging-mind/safe-body
consciousness.

Ego is a label for ecoconscious nurturing trust,
and lack thereof,
in regenerating compassionate economic and political experience,
and degenerative lack thereof.

The Interconnection of Yang and Yin in Society

“Wonder
or radical amazement
is a prerequisite for an authentic awareness
of that which is; [interdependent]

it
refers not only to what we see
[and touch and feel]
but also to the very act of seeing
[compassionate communication],

as well as to our own selves
that see [perceive, receive]
and are amazed
at their ability to see.” [commune?]
Abraham Heschel

If Yang is a political Win v Lose capitalist verbal speaker,
He is also a LefBrain monoculturing investor,
going it alone
in part because of a dissociation from wondrous +YangMind’s
integral cobinary relationship with awesome -(-)YinBody

Lower-caste as a repressed
nonverbal suppressed
seldom wondrously impressed
ambivalent Yang v Yin dissociative
dissonant
defensive, sometimes “Loser” listener

To anthropocentric YangMind’s flee v fight v freeze
strategic political and economic “avoid loss” messages,
competitive greed and breed and feed survivalist reactions
against risks of further neurosystemic YinBody trauma triggers

Anthropocentric rabid voices
preoccupied with day to day
hoarding and gloating over short-term gains,
despite long-term multigenerational
anthropocentric climate losses

Rather than cooperatively investing
in democratically bilateral Win/Win
Me/We neurosystemic
egoMind/ecoBody
polyvagally therapeutic
YangWonder/YinAwe

Body rooted in Yin’s dipolar co-arising
not solely Left and not solely Right

Indigenous +1verbalYang/-(-0)nonverbalYin
nonviolent communication
passionate +Wonder AnthroMind
rooted in pleasure -(-)Awesome EarthBody,
ego/eco-systemic Left/Right
cobinary bipartisan intelligence.

For example,
George Lakoff quotes a journalist
recalling a slap-down from a Republican White House staffer:

“The aide said that guys like me were ‘in what we call the [healthy and unhealthy]
reality-based community,’…
people who ‘believe that [healthy democratic] solutions
emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.'”

“‘That’s not the way the [anthropocentric] world
really [politically and economically] works any more.
We’re an [Anthropocene] empire now
and when we act
we create [commodify, capitalize] our own reality.’

‘And while you’re studying
that [unhealthy monoculturing Anthropocene] reality–
judiciously,
as you will–
we’ll act again,
creating other new realities,
[unawesome anthropocentric v wondrous EarthPeace] realities,
which you can [RightWing caste-preserving trauma] study too,
and that’s how things will sort out.
We’re history’s [dissociative AnthroMind] actors…
and you, all of you,
will be left to study what we [kleptocratically and plutocratically] do.”

without cobinary
wondrously awesome,
sacredly organic
bicamerally co-intelligent you.

Sacred Wonder,
AnthroMind within organic EarthBody Awe,
is a prerequisite for an authentic awareness
of healthy democracy nonviolently communicating voices

Which are not YangMind dominant
verbally dissociative
caste-preservin choices,
spiritual health v natural wealth
Anthropocene autocratic policies
and empire-building monotheistic procedures,
investments in our further Win v Lose Othering

And not EarthPeace/AnthroBody
wondrous win/win
polyculturally/polyvagally co-intelligent
healthy democratic
awesome future.

EcoPolitical Anthropocene actors
who would produce wondrous wisdom
and long-term fame,
rather than infamy,
gratefully accept invitations to listen for our own muted concerns
to co-regulate EarthGaia’s awesome organic future,
and to thereby become less fascinated
with our own paranoid anthropocentric fears

Defending anthropocentric wealth
devoid of healthy climate resonance.

“[T]he radical conservative political and economic agenda
is putting public [win/win health] resources
and government [security] functions
into private [win v lose wealth] hands,
while eliminating the [bicamerally co-intelligent] capacity of government
to protect and empower the public.

The public has no conceptual [Anthropocene] framework…
to comprehend what this means,
and with the stress of fear
and worry and overwork
the public has little capacity to notice
and to [democratically] create
the substantial neural structures needed
to comprehend
what is [caste-preserving systemic trauma] happening
in hundreds of areas
of [sacredly wondrous and organically awesome] life.”

Whole Earth Market

The primary political and economic map
for human lives
is “market”
with a consumer and a producer face

Robust,
healthy,
cooperatively self-regulating
thriving market economies

And depressed,
pathologically self-preserving
competitive disaster markets,
ripe for fear and anger mongering,
ideologically justified abuse,
miscommunication and dis-communication,
irreligious fascism
calling itself religious realism,
and win v lose survivalist neglect
of healthy-wealth
world wide resilient market planning.

Open markets for win/win ideas
therapeutically re-imagine happy and prosperous
healthy care consumption
and wealthy compassion production

Paradise markets
and unmarketed people
living organically with plants
of abundantly natural passion
and spiritual pleasure.

Anthropocentric caste-preserving markets
produce fear, anger, mistrust,
win v lose autocratic lust or bust,
critical market events of active distrust

Collective capitalist consumer paranoia,
rabid hatreds and everyday rightwing partisan trauma,
fundamentalist fascist fantasies
of dark consumptions and productions
of the stupidly unkind Market

Which both theologians
and environmental scientists
still consider as sacred and/or organic Earth.

In capitalist economies,
caste-preserving consumer markets
become soulless focus
of swelling retail proportions

While producer markets
remain the patriarchal focus
of the over-invested Anthropocene

RightWing dominant bull heads
seeing red market players
of our collectively dead
paranoid arms race producers

Investing in militarized control
over our caste-privileged wealth futures
now reductively reified
dissociated from Gaia’s self-regulating health

Inviting a more authentically religious
and synergetically scientific
polypathic
root-systemic pleasure map
for a healthy organic life

Not for sale,
or rent,
but for cooperatively making
and compassionately lighting candles
more
and dispassionately lighting fuses
less

LeftBrain dominant humans
intelligently conjoin
a hyphenated nature-spirit
body-mind
consumer-producer market
for pleasure-passion
Whole Holy EarthTribe futures.

Earth’s self-regulating
darkly depressive bear markets
struggling with sacred Gaia’s continuing degeneration,
sold out commodification

Desecratingly below
sacred light production
and organic power consumption

Sexy Sacred Mess

Efficient communication,
despite its practical virtue,
is not a priority
or even an objective,
when practicing orgasmic events

Solo,
or Other wise.

Transformative communication
may prefer sacramental rituals
communing within organic Gaia’s
holiness

Peace-making communion
matures Crown/Root chakra
hypostatic God/Gaia union

Re-enacting Wind and Water’s
first fornicating night
becomes enlightened day

Agape and Eros
rebirthing philoprogenitive

peaking nonspeaking communications

Admitting dark Philo

With no head turn

only drawn to swarthy nights

despite impractical vices,

Purity,

less favored values
for happy Crown
and healthy Root
sexsensual organisms

Unable to read,
much less remember,
delusional healthcare messages
that safety,
like purity,
secures monogamy

Our best ecstatic
spiritually virtuous
natural sensuality.

My less solo Crown/Root experiences
suggest other virtues wise

Wondering if monogamy has spawned
a hobgoblin of patriarchal Crowns
wed with capital investments
in breeding caste-privileged
straight male dominant,
and not necessarily safe,
offspring.

How passionate and pleasing is monogamy,
and monotheism,
and monoculturalism,
for natural
physical Rooting,
and spiritual
mental Crowning,
neurosystemic healthcare?

All these monolithic control issues
assume much deeper pantheism
and wider polyamorous compassion
are less virtuous

As Crown caste privileges
dominate monotheistic ideologies,
divorcing cobinary genders of sexiness
from Crown/Root dispassion-abolishing

Compassionate communications
of reconnecting
religious sacramental rituals
pleasing Root/Crown polyamorous
peace invocation.

Philo
turn your brown eyes
left and right
north and south
forth and back

Into pre-Crown dominant history
of Gaia’s sexual spirituality.

Monogamy,
like Agape v Eros monotheism,
has been a more modern strategy

Not normative
in organic biosystems
nor within Gaia’s ecosystemic network
of AgapeCrown/ErosRoot communications,
neurosystemically felt and touched
passionately heard and pleasure seen
sacred sensory mating relationships

Singing
humming
hooting
croaking
buzzing
a cacophony of lusty need
every warm month
WindSeed conjoining WaterBearer
night.

While Biblical patriarchs preach
monogamous marital relationships
for virtuous virginal WaterBearers

Patrimonial fidelity
invests more clothing optional
for WindSeed pleasure patronage.

Philo,
my brown-skinned
sacred sexual icon
of love’s transforming health pleasures

Has never once root-woken up
or crown-spoken out
for more patriarchally efficient sexual service,
despite its capital investment virtue

Not a Crown/Root win/win priority
or even a passionately pleasing objective,
when polyamorous practice makes perfect
sacramental orgasmic events

Monotheistically solo,
or pantheistic non-Othered
Holy Agape/Eros wise.

Monotheism and Fascism: A Deep Dive

The exclusively logical conclusion
of monotheistic-nationalistic strategizing,
rooted in anthropocentric caste-preservation,
is Winner or Loser fascism

AND

The inclusively ecological commencement
of polytheistic-international integrity,
flowering as Gaia Hypothesis caste-abolition,
is Winner and Winner panentheism.

Just as no one could sanely become
a fascistic panentheist,
we already have far too insanely many
monotheistic fascists.

The Sacred Balance of Yin and Yang in Earth’s Ecosystems

Once upon an eternal sacred time of Earth’s Golden Age,
Yin knew her body as a divinely virginal forested place
given equally to all for and of Earth’s holy

She, without language,
but with marvelously round holonic symmetry
and multisensory proportion,
recreated prolifically organic
panentheistic nurture systems

And cognitively-thought v intuitively-felt dissonant
when Yang remains adolescently uppity,

Too often His anthropocentrically monotheistic state,

Sacredly organic

Santa’s Unseemly Red Parade

Santa arrived on our street yesterday
spewing considerable exhaust
while riding atop a parade of firetrucks and vans,
floodlit like a nativity display at night,
full sirens and blaring Christmas carols
competing for my Fetal Alcohol daughter’s rapt attention.

Santa rolls at stately parade pace,
while ever more impatiently
my troubled daughter jumps and eagerly awaits to pounce.

For me,
much too soon,
Santa spots her leaning out our screen door,
disembarks with great royal dignitary pace
to walk the long quest for prey
on our front porch.

As I feared,
after an unconvincing HoHoHo?
Without waiting for introductions,
Santa goes straight to his task at hand:
What do you want for Christmas, little girl?

I don’t know
Haven’t thought about it.
I’m sure it’s not a stinky and loud Santa parade.
Anyway, I’m still working on what I’m giving for Christmas.

That’s awesome.
I don’t hear a lot of that.

It’s not awesome!
It’s complicated!
My dad said I should only give gifts that by giving them
I will also receive gifts.

I’m not sure I have any gifts like that.
Last year you asked for an American Girl doll.

Yes, but this year I’m working on giving American Princess me,
instead of settling for your plastic dolls.

Won’t you need costuming and make-up
to become the All American princess?

You would think so,
but my dad says they don’t meet his gift-it-forward rule
to recycle and receive back.

So what do you think you’re going to get,
or give,
or both, I guess?
although Santa’s feeling red
about green co-redemptive gifts,
and I do still have far to go.

And you left your diesel-fueled truck idling.
I’m leaning toward kindness,
’cause princesses are always kind,
but my dad is asking for greater wisdom,
which is something he actually does need.
And I know you don’t have any to offer
or you wouldn’t begin and end Christmas
by asking people what they want,
instead of asking us what we have to give
that might make life feel a little less snarky
come New Year’s Day,
while your truck continues to stink up the neighborhood.

Santa returned to his royal red firetruck
somewhat faster than he had arrived
on my wise American princess daughter’s
green front porch.

Harmony of Right and Left Brain: Cooperative Wisdom

A happy healthy and wealth-integrated
indigenously pleasing/displeasing RightBrain
grows maturely peaceful as a calm winter night,
content to allow LeftBrain to ego-chatter away
debating further cooperative win/win plans
for Earth’s and Elder RootBrain’s and,
most immediately and satisfyingly therapeutic,
newer CrownBrain’s best beloved belonging day.

In an evolutionary historical sense,
we are each and all,
WesternDominant and EasternRecessive bicameral
moving NorthernMind and SouthernBody bi-hemispheres,
RightBrain embedded in EarthMother’s yin-flowing
regenerative yang-stengthening
emergently extending love’s warm universal womb

Before enlightening exposure
to Either/Or deductive springs
of AnthroPrivileged
bilateral Both/And cobinary intelligence

Bringing newborn eumemic trust
in One GodSun’s ethotic crowning truth
experienced through GaiaEarth’s erotic rooted beauty

Passion and Pleasure
reborn light of FatherSun’s democratically radiant trust
in what is MidWay warm
co-empowering Earth’s green caste
not too zealously condemning red hot
and not too silently victimized blue cold.

This integratively cooperative and nurturing economy
of RightBrain’s root erotic chakra,
listens to deep ecologically learn, regenerate, remember
LeftBrain’s ethotic crown co-investment chakra,
with both wise yang opportunities
and overly reductive dis-yintegrative risks.

Talking Mirrors

I’m a fairly active charter member
of Connecticut’s Medical Marijuana Program,
qualifying because I’m also one of the oldest HIV+ survivors in the U.S.

In fact,
not a single cell within my entire organism
would have been brought to you today
without the miracles of chemistry.

So blame Big Pharma,
you would not be the first
but perhaps could become the last.
You never know

We might recreate a cooperative bottom-line
engaging an international profiting me corporation
prepared to listen to prophetic angry people
as if we might become wealthier prescribers
for healthier climates
and cultures,
rather than mere consumers of contentious therapies.

Anyway, I’ve been sick off and on,
mostly on,
since the beginning of November
so I’ve also been pretty much stoned.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, I’m not sure
Probably both.
I’m also may be the oldest HIV+ Taoist survivor
and Taoists annoyingly need to pretend both sides of the mirror
might have worthwhile reflective potential.

WuWei quasi-fortunately,
rather than being too sick to get stoned,
I’m too stoned to imagine I’m sick.

Despite being retired,
and increasingly tired,
I don’t have time to be sick anyway,
in large part because my youngest of four kids
is a girl with wicked Oppositional Defiant disorders;
a label she defies

Not because she’s opposed to orderly labels,
but because she thinks she is perfectly ordered
when the rest of us losers get with her program.

She likes President Trump’s redness
and orangeness
and the whole MAGA culture
because he looks and sounds familiar enough to eat

Like red meat
grabby economic sinners
and prehensile political leaders
make the greatest bottom feeders.

For my young teenage daughter,
defiance is not a disorder,
it is a counter-cultural religion
(practiced at Make America White Again rallies
by evangelical nationalists)
into which she was baptized
by Fetal Alcohol full immersion
at a first trimester young embryonic age.

From her I have learned
there fortunately is no wimpy God,
but we do have one hell of a fire-breathing feminist Goddess
when we refuse to help her clean her nightmare
she calls her imperial White House,
but I call what’s left of her bedroom.

I tried to point out the inconsistency
of supporting a President
who refuses to help us clean our planet,
or even avoid mutually terrorizing civility destruction,
but this, apparently, is like the voice of a wimpy God
who does not,
and should not,
keep on defying the Fire Goddess
right might hand
of your life doesn’t matter
much.

This morning I was helping her get ready for school,
combing out her spiky hair.
She’s part dark porcupine.
We were standing in front of a large wood-framed, beveled mirror
that looks, perhaps only because I’m stoned,
like something out of Snow White,
associated with her StepMom,
the witchy queen with
Make Me Great Again
oppositional defiant disorder.

My daughter appreciates Snow White,
probably because she bossed around the seven dwarfs
in their own domestically peaceful home,
(a politically incorrect position
we might best not even think of trying to get away with)
and forced them to listen to her own crappy music preferences
at a full amphitheater range of ear-splitting volume.

Be that as it too loudly may,
I asked her if she ever talks to her mirror,
asking, Who is the fairest of them all?

Yes.

And, does the mirror talk back?

Yes. It says,
You need to fix them!

That’s strange.
My mirror has been saying the same thing
ever since the last
oppositionally defiant election.

unless our ethotic consciousness becomes more pleasure co-empathic

Nor will we polypathically feel how to
