First Faces of Conflict

Perhaps too redundantly,
and not quite enough elegantly

Elders have pictured Original Yang/Yin
cobinary Wu-Wei Balance,
speaking in an unfortunately complex
kind of kindness way.

LeftBrain Ego Dominant
with a preference for Elite-Winner vs NonElite-Loser,
co-defined as Either We-Good Or They-Bad
informing and exforming
caste-conserving/colonizing strategic intent

With fundamentally bipolar
power hierarchical
Elite-numerator +
NonElite-denominator -(-)
polymathic values

Co-gravitating +1 Anthro-Associative
co-arising -(-0) NonAthro-Dissociative
cobinary dipolarity
equi-valently bilateral
compassionate communication
democratic dialogue assumptions,
not so much autocratic debate presumptions

That RightWing dissociative dominance
remains religiously monarchical
On Top;
sort of monotonous MissionaryPosition Only,
by RightBrain’s way of matriarchal caste
NonElite Both Bottom Me And Top We
co-empathic
complex bipartisan Me/We feelings

RightBrain
LeftWing feelings
may indulge wishful imagining
Win+Win co-passionate YinFlow

Reverse Yin/Yang cobinary
NonElite peacefully transcendent
Elite-abolishing nonviolent communication.

Winners winning synergetic Paradise
together making InterTwined Chains of ReGenesis

Iconic of Make Earth Peaceful Again
creolizing AnthroMind/EarthBody
Left-Cognition/Right-Intuition

Where polypathic archetypes
for Winner People vs Loser-NonPersons
bicameral evolution
produces Win -(-Persons) Yin/Yang +(People) Win
hypothetical cobinary (Not)NonElite+Elite
compassionately pleasing resolutions.

But, achieving bipartisan political democracy
may not be your First Face of degenerative conflict;
imagining NonElite without Elite
precedes re-membering Win/Win
co-empathic Golden Rule creolization

AnthroMind-Cognitions with (Not)Not EarthBody)-Intuitions
+1 Crown + -(-0) Root chakra synergy

You might face a more internal conflict
between LeftBrain Adam dominating
with Eve RightBrain seducing

Or, even further back
to our contested God-fed vs Gaia-bred
Apple of His or Her,
never Her+His,
eye
and ethotic passioned mind
neurosystemically inside
an erotic pleasured body.

Or, even further back
to our First Apple Tree of Life and Death,
our enlightened Yang-Crown
supported by Yin-Roots
empowering reincarnate seasons
of polyamorous trunk flows

Up toward tributary Elite branches
on out to Sun-worshipping leaves

Individual autumn dying
falling off our anthropocentric Tree
of Crown/Root ego/eco-therapy

Healing
recycling
revolving
re-membering
each perennially re-ligioning year

While subterranean NonElite
grounded YinFlow roots
continue developing reverse-down
to absorb EarthMother nutrients

Wintering and Summering
a new freezing and reforesting Win/Win promise
fusing yin/yang eco-political utopia

To sprout and re-leaf Yang-crowned/Yin-rooted again,
beyond First CoPassion Face
creolizing Elite v NonElite
Light-above vs Power-below conflict

Enlightened crowns, like Sage heads,
vs Empowered roots, like Muse bodies

Dissonantly painful conflict
predicating win/win resonant
pleasing compassion,
like constipation
before the freeing storm

Rediscovering
bicameral Yang-Left with Yin-Right
bihemispheric MonoTheistic/PanenTheistic
bilaterally Felt/Thought reversed

we are all ethically healthier Green
and better democratically together
than falling IrReligiously Right anti-erotically

poly-disamorously apart.

After all that,
and before all this,

ReCentering Hope

I lay to waste
Earth-centered
omnisciently questioning life,
overindulging Anthro-preoccupied
questing enlightened faith

Wasting Anthro-centered
wealthy sacred life,
overindulging Ego-preoccupied
healthy organic lust

Wasting Ego-healing opportunities
for Earth-centered healthy love,
greedily grabbing for immortality

Laying to waste
Earth-centered
omnipotently questioning life,

Wasting Anthro-recentering

Polite Mess

Politeness,
like kindness,
may not sell newspapers
or win the partisan debate

Civility,
unlike deviliciousness,
will not win the civil war
nor leverage the biggest tax rebate

But integrity
is the world wide web of nature
that composed the paper
and incubates
the peace we celebrate
when impolite love to hate
of systemic trauma gates
recede well past faded
therapeutic empathy,
becoming civilly sedate

Singing while dancing
in politely well-said company
not seen
or heard from
of late.

Circling Public Squares

Divide and conquer debates
favor win/lose competitions
as sometimes vicious over-investment
in defeating healthy democracy
to conquer public-square power space
not particularly sublime

While compassionate discussions
favor win/win cooperation
as virtuous co-investment
in green communion
circling co-empathic sharing time

Becoming complexly nuanced
beyond any tolerable hot red point
of static Business As Usual stuck
redundantly building stale uniformity lists
from LeftBrains preferring to hear
strong straight white self-defense
protagonist voices

Drowning out Other
while dragging out streams
of degenerating non-communication

Unhealthy anthro-supremacist
viciously polarizing
and repolarizing

Dissociating and ruminating dark rabbit holes
for hiding capital competing heads
while our ecocidal ideations destroy
fragile health care systems,
insurance and natural defense industries
food and potable water production and preservation
and water-front real estate values

Further dividing
and polarizing debates
favoring winner survives all competitions
and vicious viral over-investment
in defeating healthy democratic trust
to conquer public-square power space
by fostering active distrust of Other,
not particularly sublime

While more regenerative discussions
favor win/win ecofeminist cooperation
as virtuous co-investment
in green communion
circling compassion’s sharing time.

Stepping Outside to ReGather

Easy to get stuck inside

Breathing in and out togather

MidWay Confessions

I could be quicker to apologize
and more deeply reconsider
healthy and safe restitution
restoration
restoring right relationship
restorying win/win potential
resolutions

To become more integrally confessional
when I have lacked transparency
hidden by invulnerable
chauvinistic silence

Fearing to offend
on matters not deeply mattering
to me
but almost certainly significant
to this one before me
and/or those beyond me
who do care

However selfishly
needing to be heard
respected

Wanting to have control
over healthy
safe possibilities
truthful
potentially beautiful
where they have invested

Even though I may see
and hear their outcomes,
smell
and taste these same yields
touched
and felt too win/lose
zero sum infested
congested,
too hungrily ingested
injected

I would be quicker to apologize
reconsidering healthy and safe restitution
restoring right relationships
restorying win/win
cooperative
more inclusive
open
vulnerable
and yet resiliently resonant
robustly forgiving resolutions.

ThanksGiving CommunioNations

ThanksGiving advances

Arising thoughts about boundary breaching risks
and perennial partisan issues
and deep listening opportunities.

Perhaps only the Othering
and Othered One Percent
instilling in their children
and future grandchildren
that extended family meals
are never an appropriate time
or sacred space
to speak of desecrating politics
or sanctimonious religion
and, above else,
nothing remotely suggestive
of personal sex histories
and fantasies.

And yet,
from a deep power analysis perspective
of richly co-invested feelings,
these three,
together,
form a developmental narrative
of how spiritual empowerment,
RightHemisphere felt,
and natural enlightenment,
LeftHemisphere considered
and reconsidered
and preconsidered
and formerly unconsidered
thoughts

Develop toward co-passion,
gratitude,
resilient capacity for giving
and receiving Thanks

However agnostic
atheistic
monotheistic
polytheistic
and/or panentheistic

Our sensory sexual systems
are indigenous,
forming already
before we are born,
known,
heard
and smelled
and tasted.

Religious
or even anti-religious enculturation
speaks to our sensory-spiritual
mental
metaphysical experiences

Peaks and valleys
on a range from empowering positive feelings
and negative diesmpowering associations
with metaphysical thoughts
and physical feelings,
attitudes,
belief systems
dreams
and nightmares

Sometimes closed,
and therefore entropic,
and degenerating,
claustrophobic
and pathological

And sometimes open
and whole
and regenerating,
trusted
and healthy
and resilient.

Here
where resonant metaphors emerge
more helpful social communication boundaries
change
morph
conciliate
creolize,
embrace win/win sexual
and religious
and political strategies

Unlike win/lose work
remains politely segregated
from win/win play
at tearing down judgmental
stress and trauma boundaries

Like dark and light,
seriously competitive vocations
remain dimly dissociated
from humorously cooperative vacations
from old capitalist school
patriarchal business as bottom-line
competitions for short-term profits

While investing in
more long-term fruitful
political relationships
can also become explicitly sexual
and/or implicitly religious,
spiritual
and natural,
mental
and physical powers
of not only self-righteous internal governance
but also Other governing fair
and equitable
and integral power relationships,
cooperative win/win
and/or competitive win/lose
and/or despondent lose/lose.

After the second glass of wine,
with the kids off at their G-rated table,
and football announcers
creating white
and blue and black and brown
and hot red seething
tight shoulder and hip pad testosterone
distracting noises
and visions
and revisions
in life’s sensory underground
and background

It might be appropriate
to ask about a cherished Other’s
sexually political spiritual energy lives
as if trauma-reducing resilience
through nonviolent communication
deeply
sacredly
integrally matters

When healthy and safe communication
remains politically felt
and religiously thought
and neuro-sensory shared
becomes welcome curiosity
and invited transparency
and cherished vulnerability,
what has never been courageously discussed
may also be what empowers thankfulness
and enlightens this Gratitude Day

For rich sensory meals
and peak experiences,
for robust political laughter and joy,
and spiritual integrity
of resiliently good humor
and health-enlightened
smells and tastes and looks
and wealth-empowering grace

We might yet give thanks
this religious
and political
ThanksGiving Day,
including both neuro-sensory fulfilling peaks
and over-stuffed purgation valleys.

Democratic Trust

When I drove away from the family farm
to embrace my freshman year
at the University of Michigan
in Vietnam-era 1970,

I was planning on majoring in political science
which later turned into a double major
in communication theory
and positive neuro-psychology

Persuasion,
cognitive/affective bicameral
conserving/liberating bipolarizing dissonance,
and more resonantly trusted
positive therapeutic attitude change.

What I do recall from PoliSci 101:
The well-researched underlying root value
for any healthy,
safe,
resilient democratic polyculture
is not LeftBrain polypathic intelligence
and certainly not more RightBrain
election campaign persuasive beauty,
but profoundly inclusive TRUST

Which,
when I later worked in theology,
rediscovered in what religious traditions
monotheistically refer to as FAITH
and/or
polytheistically embrace as COMPASSION.

Trust also turned out to become
the primary underlying value
for resilient communication
and deeply resonant
mental/spiritual robust health
and neuro-systemic safety

Slow-growing increased capacity
for unconditional regard
of people
and our plants
and our cooperatively-managed planet
developing public health urban areas
and cultivating regenerative farms.

I find it disappointing
and tragic, then,
that our disuniting State schools
coach young democratic residents
in win/lose debate
but not win/win trusted
faithful
cooperatively-intended
nonviolent dialogue.

This may have a causal effect
negatively reproducing Patriarchal-Capitalist
competitive mistrust relationships

Further embedding runaway
vicious circle revenge
militarism
racism
homophobia
sexism
ableism
punishing
criminalizing
imprisoning
Othering justice systems

Lacking robust muscularity
to restore and reward
positive ego-
and eco-
and anthro-therapeutic Trust
through proactive teaching
and studying
and mentoring
and mediating
win/win dialogue skills

For pro-active
cooperative co-investments
emotional,
financial,
political,
ecological,
theological

Polypathically reinforcing
a great healthy
and safe EarthTribe
polycultural university

Universe for engaging
co-passionate trust
in integrity,
synergetic relationships,
cooperatively therapeutic respect

Re-inspecting emergent Trust
through transparent
and vulnerable dialogue,
discernment

Intent to embrace healthy
and safe democratic communication
systems

Useful trust-building
for restoring cooperative farms
and urbane justice areas
we call
United humane States

Which was on my mind
and heart
when I drove away from the family farm
and my high school debate team
to embrace my freshperson
political scientist year
at the University of Michigan
in Vietnam-conflicted
mistrustful 1970.

Disability’s Wisdom

Moderation in all metaphysical

LeftBrain dominance.

ImModeration in self

love.

Moderation in all things,
except continuously flowing integrity

Reforming
and propelling
compassionate universal regard.

Passionately love wisdom

to bilaterally become felt

Unconditionally practice

Peak sensory nonviolent performance
of co-passionately experiential theology
becoming our inside sacredly held Truth
and radically democratic inclusive Trust
and diversely unobtrusive multicultural Beauty
of everyday unconditional neuro-sensory regard

In which win/win anticipation
co-empowers
and co-enlightens
other bicameral win/win MeWe
co-empathic abilities
living exotic bodhisattva healing lives

Teaching us metaphysically
and physically re-establishing
re-framing
re-seating
re-walking
dancing and re-singing
trauma histories
of our together felt
therapeutic horizons
of deep integral meaning.

Peak metaphysical experiences of loving
mystically become body fulfilling
right-brain acts of health becoming
fully alive

Compassion
is a right-brain artistic
and left-brain analytic
integral mind/body process
nonviolent

Engaging win/win trusted horizons
of panentheistic Beauty
and trusted Truths

Reveal a synergetic
cooperatively energetic
multiculturally accessible praxis

Responding to challenges
with our joyful “Yes”
to inter-related
win/win
is better
and healthier
and wealthier
and wiser
than settling for win/lose
paralyzing life
is better than lose/lose
mortal despairing
global climate challenges.

Punishing economic
political
social injustice internally contradicts
resilient health care
like an unconditionally
cooperatively regarded “No Way!”

To lack of sacred enabling integrity
which lose/lose traumatizes
decontextualizes
marginalizes
imprisons
destroys

Compassion’s unconditionally flowing
reforming polytheistic love

Is life’s bilateral
metaphysical potential sanctity,
dignity,
enabling wise integrity
regardless of physical abilities
and left-brain dominant
verbal articulation
enabling communionation
capacities

To write about
moderation in all metaphysical
and physical declarations
and implementations
of RightWing
LeftBrain dominance.

Addiction

Addiction to fast-paced competition happens
