SoulFood Recipes for Peace

Rob Brezsny reports
In 2004, San Rafael hosted a World Conference of Soul-Making
resulting in three schools for best PeaceMaking practices,
to which I will add one
more democratically inclusive,
less autonomously exclusive.

“The Ruminators
theorized that humans are born without [divine] souls
and can create them only through arduous,
disciplined rebellion against all [trauma-informed] belief systems.

The Resonators
agreed that soul [peace] isn’t innate,
but insisted that soul-making is by no means difficult
…gathering good [health-humor] stories is effective [necessary]
and not at all hard [resiliently sufficient].

The Revelators
said every [individual] person is born with a [peace-full monotheistic] soul
in seed form,
and need only discover the [organic] ‘blueprint’
of that [individual] seed
in order to attract the [anthropocentric] experiences
necessary to draw out its [integrity’s] potential.”

Regenerators
win/win hypothetically agree with all of the above,
born with a potential integrating peace seed,
we struggle with systemic traumas
win v lose dualistic pathological dramas
painfully dissociative
devolutionary ruminations
yet also
celebrate our greatest Gaian Synergy Story
of inter-religiously ecological
cooperative revolutionary culminations
resonantly anticipating
health-climaxing wealth
of panentheistic pronoia.

Re-ligiously con-scientious peace-making
within universally engaged
neurosystemic unitarian mindbody
and
compassionately pleased
ecosystemic bodymind

Re-membering roundly resonant Gaia’s
mystical polyamorous vulnerability
historical pronoia transparency
anticipating interdependent EarthTribe’s
soul-communing peace communications.

Once again, adding a culminating four-fractal fold
to three interdependent dimensions
closes a four-season healthy
regeneratively wealthy
peace-development story

Inviting our polyculturally expectant revisit
for yet more win/win synergetic soul food

Re-ligiously feeding spiritual Resonator minds of
con-scientiously breeding natural Revelator bodies for
re-viving more sacredly co-passionate Ruminators singing
organically co-pleasuring ReGenerator Muses
dancing EarthPeace soul.

Bad Humors Destroy Feelers

Good Humors Create Healers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MusEcology of Peace

I would like to see
and hear
and feel a peaceful day
and silent night

When guns
are as rare as typewriters

When partisan hate
is as extinct as flying dinosaurs

When ranting out of anger
to instill fear
is as astounding
as love letters
written on rice paper
in compassionate cursive.

I would like to hear
free speech
can’t be hate preach
because anger
and fear
and dogmatic rage are limiting
and divisive
and rabidly dissonant,
dissociative

Conserving win/lose
endlessly expensive
back-and-forth debate

Which does not win/win
free mind and body
resiliently liberate.

Hate speech
costs our favorite EarthTribes
everything,
every healthy
and wealthy
relationship.

Free speech
creates rich
resilient
resonant
musical and wise compositions,
civil literature,
love stories

Deliberating life
delivering desegregating communities,
purple families,
non-violent muse communications
to sing
our cooperative Truth
and dance
advance our co-invested Grace.

Dialogue,
heart-filled discussion
restores free peace

Co-empathic
co-invested
co-operative
non-violet deep co-passions.

Conducting empowered multicultures
dwelling in enlightened wellbeing

Circles
and round cursive spirals
of community wellness danced

In public squares
and parks

Under shade trees
by day
and freely twinkling stars
by night.

I would like to see
and hear
and feel this peaceful day
and silent dancing
purple night

When automated guns
are as rare as electric typewriters

When impoverishing hate
and fear-provoking speech
are as extinct as predative dinosaurs.

ReGenerative Health Systems

In Regenerative Design,
dialectical cooperative contrasts
need not also mean
suspiciously diabolical
competitive win/lose opposition
to our own internal RightWing
self-righteously
kinda venomously
prejudiced inside ego-supremacist
voices.

In Regenerative Communication,
sometimes questions
are expressed as peace-intended
hypothetical Truth Statements,
awaiting sacred polycultural transubstantiation
through healthcare giving and receiving
solidarity

Of a global multicultural full-spectrum
wellbeing value system
for cooperatively unitarian co-investments
in uncovering copassionate win/win
universal peace questions.

What is the sacredly felt difference
between integral revolutionary integrity
cooperatively co-investing economics
v. democratic healthy politics
of a restorative justice empowering
EarthView?

Can we compare distinctions
without natural/spiritual differences?
Indifferent LeftBrain
recognizing RightBrain musical
enlightenment,
personal enbrighten nest,
contextual mono v polycultural
co-protagonist messianic responsibility
for diminishing
segregating win/lose
PatriCapitalist history

Mentally and spiritually disabling,
overpowering unease
ignoring depressed
neglecting disabled suppressed
mis- and dis-trusting victims
of LeftBrain dominant
RightBrain contextual wellbeing repression

Of needs for polycultural engagement,
solidarity songs
and courageous
curiosity stands.

Bodhisattva ecofeminists

to heal disabling

Full nondualistic dipolar spectrum
bicameral Left/Right prominent
interdependent win/win anticipation
too often thwarted climax
by lack of dialectical
co-arising polynomial/polycultural
dipolar interdependence
infusing balance
bipartisan co-engaging

Becoming globally shrill
disabling
wounding non-chill
dissociative
secularized
wounding win/lose prejudice
against right hemispherical
contextual
spiraling win/win co-intelligence

Is like believing our best
intuitive serotonin/dopamine confluence
is not predicted
by noticing 4-harmonic decibel
dialectical fractal strength
of gospel sung chords
in well-deep solidarity

With each discrete 4/4 temperate
rhythmic patterned octave
measuring copassions
metric ageless
co-invested beats

Without also noticing
most of our right hemisphere interdependent feeling
narrative is written in circular
spiraled musings,
reweaving relationships
of fluid win/win
co-empathic consciousness

In and out
flowing integrity’s indigenous well
swell of panentheistic sacred felt
passion stories,
narratives,
anthems,
psalms of diminishing
and augmenting harmonic flow

Felt positive healthy win/win

Which recognize
the developmental keys
to healing RightWing
wounded

defiant emphatic child issues
anxious about leftbrain dominant
Straight White
normatively predative privilege
PatriCapitalist miserably oppressive
disabling trauma must lead to lose/lose war
divisive

Invites muses to win/win cooperatively re-cognize
then in-vite
then engage
then cooperatively co-invest
in dialectical therapeutic flow
of sacred music voice
functions of prehistoric fire circle
starlight
full moon lunar
co-relational
copassionate
co-investing communion
communal choice
of universally compassionate health movement
invoking fertile wealthy dance,
full bodied
co-empathic wellbeing

In ReGenerative Outputs
we may bilaterally notice
Either/Or secular reductions
and Both/And sacred inductive
co-relationships
co-arising health/wealth resolving
co-investments through cooperative win/win
dialogue in-between what is truly
personally,
and publicly,
and Whole OpenSytemically
Earth’s soul-full healthy climate,
not dissonantly degenerative

But more wealth of sacredly integral potential
living regenerative outcomes

EarthSytemic
resilient

ecofeminist
song and dance
restorative just
