EcoPolitics of HealthCare

EcoPolitics intends to be culturally
and ecologically
normative,
improving in capacity to become historically descriptive
of healthy enlightened minds
in organically
and environmentally safe
empowered bodies.

Politics is about the effectiveness of power
in anthropological relationships.
Economics is about efficient financial resilience,
sustainable consilience
of shared values,
fundamentally rooted in win/win cooperative power
of individual AND social wealth governance.

EcoPolitics conjoins
sweat equity and monetized equity
nurturing fair-climate meritocracy.

Political power needs shared health-positive values
for our economic choices and behavior
to remain consistent with cooperative wealth-positive
win/win bipartisan political intentions and assumptions
about multicultural robust democratic health
over resilient polyculturing ecological wealth
co-invested Anthro/Earth interdependent time.

We can predict our future ecopolitical climate of health v pathology
by noticing our resonant neurosystemic integrity
and dissonant ecosystemic degenerativity
when wealth-valued goods feel unsustainably unhealthy
and disempowering political trauma
of community disorganization
feels like unenlightened blame-the-economy drama
of dissociative anti-cooperative,
and possibly demonic,
theater.

The cooperative v competitive polycultural economy
of organic Earth’s ecological climate
predicts the cooperative v competitive multicultural politics
of sacred Humanity’s anthropologically healthy culture
and desecrating inhumanity’s anthrosupremacist
monotheistic monopolistic monocultural
neurosystemic stress
of chronic ecopolitical distrust.

Commodification of cultural values
is an anti-democratic economic trend of capitalism
devoid of healthy polyculture-positive purpose.
Dis-ecological anthrosupremacist
autocratic LeftHemisphere verbally dominant
RightWing ecopolitical Win/Lose trauma outcomes,
RightHemisphere nonverbal nonviolent Win/Win
left dissonantly unmitigated,
predict the disempowering distrust of Rob Brezsny’s
“If you’re happy and you know it,
clank your chains.”

Anthrosupremacist monopolistic value economies
devoid of our polyculturally interdependent win/win root-systems,
such as win/lose survivalist capitalism,
but also ego-centric
and anthro-privileged
and ethnocentric
and nationalistic totalitarian monoculturalism
suboptimize our potential for multiculturally healthy ecopolitics
of cooperative economic EarthTribal wealth.

Co-empathic nonverbal trust
and co-intelligent verbal integrity
to outshine dyspeptic monocultural distrusts
and irreligious monopolistic agendas
and monotheistic religiosity issues
and RightWing neurosystemic trauma,
our potential for reciprocal peace commissions
stronger than sins of unenlightened
and disempowering dis-eased omissions.

Mistrust of win/lose militarized-corporate BusinessAsUsual
is a win/win non(0)-sum ecopolitical Tipping Point indication
of which way to turn toward politically green regeneration,
global humanitarian salvation,
economics of cooperative
authentic
integral re-ligious AnthroMind/EarthBody co-redemption.

Relationships are for and of politically resonant health,
as humane/divine transactional values win/win co-binary
+1/-(-0) invest
and win/lose individualistic 0-sum divest

Sacred ecologically resilient
LiberatingMind/ConservingBody co-empathically evolving
bicameral co-intelligence stretching
continuously inclusive polypathic
polyvagal neurosystemic empowering trust

earnestly hoping and struggling to leave no one and no thing behind
because the cost of doing so is cognitive/affective dissonance
which blocks Positive Psychology Peace
like lose/lose death lacks win/win
mind/body resonant life.

All sensory relationships are political,
including multi-generational transactional histories about power.
All transactions have economic enculturation histories
of democratic co-investment and autocratic divestment.

We tend to think of political sciences
when discussing anthropoligical power of self+other governance,
as we tend to think of economic sciences
when exploring ecologically healthy co-investments
as contrasted with monoculturally pathological infestment
and Othering divestment transactions

But,
financially enlightened transactions
can also be politically empowering choices
about future multicultural cooperation v. monocultural competition
informed by polytheistic RightHemisphere indigenous intuitions
and monotheistic LeftHemisphere cognitive historical dominance.

Politics is about anthropologically empowering/disempowering investment choices informed by a healthy polycultural climaxing EarthWealth history
within polyvagal neurosystemic enculturing time.

Cooperative economics is about ecologically enlightened/unenlightened investment/divestment
win/win-win/lose-lose/lose polyvagal resonance/dissonance
in nutritionally fruitful/unfruitful
cooperative/competitive
organic network choices.

EcoPolitics is RightHemisphere normatively
and LeftHemisphere descriptively
renewing great and small transitional co-investments
in polypathic ecological climates of wealth
and polyvagal anthropological cultures of health
seeking beloved abundant communal outcomes,
polycultural climax resilience,
panentheistic sacredMind/organicBody revival
of bicameral ego/eco religioning
LeftLiberating/RightConserving
co-binary +1/-(-0) binomial tao-balanced

Therapeutic Synergy

Could chronic stress,
like sleep deprivation,
noise and light and air pollution
also derive
by avoiding barely still alive
high-risk trauma messes?

Sometimes sadly beginning
prior to economic and political puberty

Including multi-generational suppression
misogynistic sex tensions
and monotheistic depression
and homophobic repression,
hateful Othering paranoid impressions,
chronic monocultural climate despair,
uncivil disinvested oppressions

Endarkened
by a popular FirstWorld
anthro-privileged
secularizing, dividing, dissociating
evolutionary theory
of mutual assured predation
damnation
degenerating ecosystemic deflation,
ecocidal extinction
of once sacred synergetic EarthLove
elation

Or at least
co-empowering messianic missions
for restoring EarthJustice
mental ego-health is physical eco-wealth
co-relations.

So, go on
all RightWing
WrongHeaded;
service yourself!

But
I doubt you will find
your God’s RightHand solipsism
resiliently satisfying
much less sacredly edifying.

Uncovering ecofeminists
and recovering peace mediators
are done being your queer punishing bag!
Your indigenous justice
community resonance hag!

Did I hear that out loud?

Oh, any polypathic way,
Does chronic lifetime-anxiety disorder,
win/lose competitive stress,
contribute to multi-generational high-risk trauma histories?

Sometimes beginning long before adult maturing transition
from Either/Or fundamentalist childlike conditions
not Both/And exploring inside/outside
neuro-sensory double-boundaries
in-between healthy, mature win/win resonance
and lose/lose despairing dissonance,
positively and negatively
therapeutically and traumatically
correlated

In older adults
sometimes producing increased market risks
and opportunities of dementia,
with unfortunate paranoid demise

Rather than fortunate co-invested
peaceful
pleasured
mindbody post-traumatic surprise
of warm unconditional outcomes
in win/win Paradise.

MotherEarth’s Resilience Project

So, Mother, where do you get all your creative ideas?

Outside, of course.
I’m not known as MotherNature for nothing
after all Earth’s regeneration
is too often said
and too seldom done
with unconditional regard
for our Green Vegetation Tribes.

OK, that almost made sense
in a dizzying
circular
self-reflective kind of inappropriate
way.

And, if I might also add, even though you asked about where,
perhaps a more interesting question is,
When do we get all our most resilient health
and safety
ideas?

For me,
all my best indigenous green creation wisdom
comes to me at night,
in dialogue with my GrandMother Moon.
She waxes and wanes,
breathing in full sensate blue seas
of surf, ebbing and flowing
exhaling and inhaling
verbal thoughts and nonverbal feelings,
noticed outside
and also perceived inside,
communications verbal and nonverbal,
aggressive and nonviolent,
competing against dawning light
and cooperating with dusk’s wiki co-empowerment,
disempowerment,
un-empowerment,
re-empowerment,
pre-empowerment
like light/dark phases of a round
spinning
spiraling
inspiring
spirited full systems
co-reflective moon.

Why did you get involved in this Resilience Project?

Well,
you deeply know
what traumatized PatriarchalCapitalists warn:
Follow the green money.
And,
the MatriarchalCooperativists advocate,
sometimes cleverly win/win mediate,
leading with sacred circles
of communal power,
aware of FormativeHere greeting FluidNow
space-time body/minds
sometimes positively waxing,
before negatively waning,
and in-between

Not not appositionally co-arising,
co-invested
co-empathic Self/Other Golden Rules
of double-binding co-relations
positive and negative
tipping poignant outside/inside balance,
precessive/recessive,
inhaling/exhaling systemic
resiliently projected/rejected resonance

For being outside Here
and becoming inside more healthy Now
is also wealthy
eternal Polynomial Positive
equals Not(Not Polynomial)
bilaterally co-empathic synergy

Now surfing sensate seas,
inhaling strong verbal forms of present Being
Fullness to also exhale nonverbal flows
of still Becoming
MotherEarth’s resilience project

Projected and rejected
and wu-wei in-between
waxing resiliently strong Yang
and waning

Bottoms UpRising

Nothing grows naturally
or resiliently,
and certainly not perfectly,
from the top down
or from the outside in

Including pyramids
and sustainable nutrition economies
and healthy
organic
democratic systems.

Some things
that do grow virally
from outside in
and/or over-powering
top down:

autocracy
cancer
kleptocracy
pyramid schemes
viral colonies
capital expansionism
invasive species
toxicity
pollution
trauma

I once spoke at a condominium meeting
about cooperative democratic values
for self-governance

Advocating for transparent
and inclusive choicemaking

And grassroots community maintenance

And social
and skill-sharing events

Sweat-equity
and time/talent exchange
cooperative economies.

The condominium’s attorney,
whom the large majority of members
were about to terminate
along with the autocratic landlord
investor board chair
who hired him
to come to this annual meeting
and explain,
rationally
and legally,
why the residents could not do
what they wanted to do,
which was mainly to get rid
of him
and his organized trauma
straight-white-male Patriarch,

This smug condominium attorney
stood up
when I had finished
to lecture members
and correct me
about we actually do not live
together in a co-invested democracy;
we live in a from-above Republic.

He was slyly speaking
at both the local condo level
and the national corporate
capitalized Republican level

Because, he continued,
unit owners have elected leaders
given exclusive authority to vote on
governance issues
that the uninformed
and unelected laity
lack responsibility
(and possibly
StraightWhiteMale capacity)
to decide.

He misjudged his audience.

This republican authority from above
and from outside
power-over totalitarian business,
rather than power-within democratic empowerment,
was precisely the problem
this meeting had been organized
to resolve,
by democratic recall.

The attorney had his power analysis
backward.

If we are,
in our core
root residential membership
a healthy
and actively cooperative
win/win intentional
health-is-social-wealth
democracy FIRST
FOREMOST
FOUNDATIONALLY

The grassroots of our self-governance
are more likely to elect empowering
and enlightened republican leaders
with a resonant
and resilient
empowering within view
valuing transparency
and multicultural inclusion

For sustainable local
and global choice-making
from the integral
happy
synergetic
robust top

The celebrated envy
of all our benign
and collaboratively empowering
neighbors

Noticing with multicultural wonder
and polycultural awe
that nothing grows naturally
or resiliently,
and certainly not perfectly
or sacredly
or democratically,
from the top down
or from the outside in.

Healthy Life Integrity

I find a consistent
constitutionally protected value
hidden in Preambulation
and historical Declaration
reaffirming U.S. healthy democracy,
our Holy Grail.

Life
liberty
pursuit of happiness
well-being

During Enlightened Elder
1700s,
and still largely our worldview today
in deindustrializing MidWest
sweltering South
acid raining East
and, most mystically,
among empowered Californians
and Oregonians
and Washingtonians,

Healthy democratic intent
for integrity of humanity
supports HEALTHY life,
INTERDEPENDENT liberty,
and win/win pursuit
of resiliently SUSTAINABLE
happiness,
well-being,
peace.

This non-issue
of our constitutional republic,
with healthy,
growing
still-evolving
dynamic democratic intent,
purposed with sacred meaning
to nurture and support
HEALTHY life

Becomes more obvious
when considering what an “ethic of life”
would look like
if our eloquent ForeFathers
and wise GrandMothers
had UNhealthy life
as an economic
and political aspiration

Any quality of life,
regardless of how compromised
pathological
sinful
demented
unhappy
joyless
violent
pathological
ignorant
greedy
belligerent
traumatized
chronically stressed
dissociated
severed from a shared reality
of cooperative peace
and co-invested contentment

Could not be a consistent ethic,
or family morality,
of HEALTHY life
for all organic creations,

Not preferential for Straight White Men,
but a healthy polycultural democracy
to support healthy
interdependent
sustainable human lives
of all cultures,
inter-religious beliefs,
compassionate feelings,
nonviolent communications.

More recently,
ecologists
and creation theologists
and climatologists
have added an interesting footnote
to healthy democratic aspirations

If we would have
nutritionally
politically
economically healthy resilient lives,

Then we need
and want
to extend our democratically appreciated agenda

To include HEALTHY lives
of oceans,
forests,
river systems,
air,
bioregions,
food chain
interdependent
sustainable
life-care systems.

As far as I know,
my Republican friends
and family
share this expectation of our governors,
legislators,
executives,
court systems,
to seek HEALTHY life care

And, not so much
PATHOLOGICAL
diseased lack of caring
for all Earth’s sacred tribes,
species,
networks,
cooperative win/win
organically interdependent
sustainable health-care systems.

On Religious Integrity

Let us begin
by explicitly undressing
what may have been
implicitly held
multicultural feelings:

  1. For the overwhelming masses
    of teeming and scheming
    healthy human adults,
    and especially adolescents,
    peak sexual experiences
    are also our peak
    lifetime
    spiritual experiences
    of compassion
    co-passion
    shared orgasmic passion.
  2. Our elder right hemispheres do not,
    because they cannot,
    distinguish between spiritual
    and mental
    health,
    brain
    and body wealth.

With these two declared assumptions,
please join in revisiting
public sector sensitive issues
about constitutionally protected
religious freedom
in the USA,
and probably in other
monotheistic
left hemisphere dominant
cultures,
making privileged spaces
for straight
male sensory places.

Religious expression
is rooted
in spiritual/mental
healthy felt connected
safe experience
of win/win nonviolent communication,
compassionate communion
sacred memories.

Family businesses
and corporate executive boards
and healthcare professionals
are constitutionally allowed
to make choices
inconsistent with our own
interdependent spiritual/mental peak
win/win
panentheistic organic experience

But, such a profound lack of integrity
does not help us develop
a more universally democratic
and multicultural frame
of spiritual/mental health care,
well-being
prosperity
resonance
resilience.

Whether nonviolence practitioners
can be constitutionally obligated
to pay war and military,
violence and win/lose aggression,
consumptive capitalist exploitation,
and weapons development and production
taxes
and yet retain meaningful constitutional protection
for spiritual freedom of co-passionate conscience
becomes left brain cognitively complex,
if not downright chaotic.

Whether faith-based communities
can continue to be tax-exempt
feels as clear as democratic
multiculturally celebrated
separation of nonviolent religious expression
and nation-state defensive affiliation

Why a minute of silent
compassion-focused spiritual/mental experience
feels both constitutionally appropriate
and healthy democracy useful
for opening self/other governance meetings,
team huddles,
graduations and commencements
from and into great
and even smaller public transitional events,
bolstering spiritual/mental health resilience
of shared trust consciousness.

Whether inclusive multicultural
non-supremacist religious symbols,
such as a PeaceDove,
a Chalice of communal hope,
a messianic Manger scene,
and a Menorah,
can be installed in public spaces
to evoke spiritual/mental health experiences
and not toxic memories
of homophobic,
racist,
sexist victimization,
trauma,
and chronic stress experiences,
may depend on how inclusive
and compassionate
our own childhood
and adolescent
peak social health experiences
were celebrated,
revered,
honored,
appreciated.

Whether spiritual/mental health education systems
can effectively exclude
non-supremacist expressions
of positive faith
in peak sensory experiences
in the classroom
may depend on whether we believe
a healthy democracy
is rooted in trust
or in capitalism’s competitive
mutual mistrust.

Whether faith-based non-profits
can apply on equal egalitarian footing
with secular corporate privileged organizations
for compassion regenerating
governing grants
to increase spiritual/mental health experiences,
may depend on whether we are remembering
good faith peak experiences
or bad faith competitive
fear of losing out
bullying experiences.

Whether healthy win/win
faith-based communities
and individuals can,
and even must,
advocate for public policies,
including integral health care,
that are consistent with their membership’s
most personal spiritual/mental health experience,
or not so much

These issues
and peak spiritual experience concerns
about loss of healthy wealth
also pertain to freedom
of nonviolent communication speech.

Compassionate communication,
win/win freedom
of resonant
primal inter-relationship,
is the fundamental healthy democracy
trust experience
on which all other integral rights
to spiritual/mental health
are rooted,
wombed,
incubated,
rewoven,
morphed,
regenerated.

On the other hand,
if we begin with different,
more dualistic
and monotheistic assumptions
about this relationship between synergetic religious
and peak spiritual/mental experience
of everyday sacred connection,
then our constitutional conclusions
may vehemently
and irreconcilably
and dogmatically
differ.

Setting the Bully Table

The often unnoticed first strategic step
in bullying
is to isolate.

Religious
political
economic
and/or sexual bullying
begins, already,
feeling entitled to pervasively disempower,
dissociate,
disinvest,
unenlighten,
excommunicate,
lock up,
terminate from employment,
send to the reservation,
asylum
ghetto,
wrong side
of the LeftBrain dominant
self-righteous tracks.

Deeply separate,
divide and, thereby, expose
and bully
that Other,
or those Others,
who need to learn their place,
separate and deservedly unequal,
to relearn their divinely-inspired space
of oppression
neglect
punishment

For being wrong,
too needy greedy,
too ignorant,
uneducated
simple
quiet and sneaky
queer
unbinary
effeminate
pretentious
hypocritical
weird looking, sounding, smelling,
frightening
angry
threatening…

Such alien Others
are first isolated
at least by disreputation,
then abused

First neglected
shunned
Othered
alienated
unaccepted,

Then ridiculed
used
raped
vilified

Blatantly and falsely accused
of being motivated
to dismiss
and impoverish
the monoculturing Bullies
through stealth
or by speaking their lying,
biased
self-serving Truth

Which is always ignored
until They get too uppity
again.

Bullies
and their Victims
are, thereby, deprived
of experiencing compassionate
cooperatively appreciated
and co-invested
dialogue.

Bullies
and their Victims
thereby declare and suffer wars
where everyone,
including plants and animals,
soil and water and air quality,
suffers and loses
except, in the bookkeeping department,
the military-industrial
short-term corporate profit Bullies

Who will not realize
their self-victimizing
long-term health and safety losses
until degeneratively isolated
from all prospects for a livable
sustainable
humane
sacredly compassionate
EarthTribe health and safety
future climate.

Witnessing at the Mall

I’m at the mall
waiting for my new lenses
to find their inside home
in my old frames,

Hopefully
not like new wine
in old
opaque
outside skins.

I try to engage
with an anthro-war story,
“The Invisible Woman”

Feeling myself silently camouflaged
in a sedate sitting area
sparsely inhabited only by my eyes
searching
and ears
spying

Listening for what invisible witnesses
hear
and empathically feel

“In wartime,
trusting the wrong person
can prove fatal.”

How much safer is trust
in peace time?
anthro-dominated
industriously capitalized.

Does living Earth
even feel like peace time?

Or Business As Usual
domestic abuse,
neglect,
silent, but not really nonviolent,
atrophy?

Degenerating entropy?
of a human child’s boundless curiosity,
enthusiastic health,
win/win wellbeing
luminosity.

“Virginia…
will do everything in her power
to avenge the brave people
she lost.”

Is the only important difference
between brave patriotic people
and innocent victims of autocracy
a sacred v secular division
between anxious war
sacredly declared
and every shopping day
peace deal making
between secularized
competing consumer diplomats

Perpetually undeclaring
rights of conscientious
personal bodies
to remain innocent
of ballistic
nihilistic
trauma producing
and stress consuming intent.

Is hero-worship the only moral distinction
between society’s righteous reactionary revenge
and personal power’s need,
want,
self-righteous entitled greed
to avenge?

“Virginia knows,
now more than ever,
that failure is not an option.”

A lot of pressure
stress
fear
anger
internal oppression
when mortality
and disempowering defeat
and disabling wounds
physical and mental,
natural and spiritual,
are not an option

When power is a weapon
wielded over OtherTribes
and cannot be a tool
kindly and carefully offered
without Othering.

Like seeing
with win/win restorative lenses
in old win/lose traumatized
Business As Usual
anthrosupremacist frames

For spying how exhausted I am
by silently witnessing
uncivil
anthro-war stories.
