EcoTherapist Conventions

Truth is a feather
pushed off to the other side.

Truths are a body of feathers
within which our bodies reside.

OK, students of life’s healthiest purposes and meanings,
it’s time to regather, if you would be so kind.

Namaste.

[Silence]

[My EcoTherapist is trying to recall our bicameral minds with ecological bodies.]

[More kinda creepy silence.]

[I wonder if I have time for a cigarette.]

How do you understand “mind” as other than “body”?

[OK, she leads with a dualist assumption
for a session advertised as nondualist,
so the correct answer must be,
I don’t.]

Which, mind or body, do you believe came first,
or do you believe,
as I do,
consciousness and biosystems co-arise nondually?

[I knew it!
Biosystems are self-identifying consciousness-rememory
DNA-encoded systems, or RNA, if you’re a tree or something green,
from before the time when physical root systems
transubstantiated into metaphysical regenerate root bilateral,
then bipedal,
then bicamerally balancing,
eco-political systems.
I remember our history of biological evolution co-mentoring sessions,
out on the coral reefs of time’s surfing copresence.]

If mind emerges from reiterative and redundant and resonant neural-cellular development,
in these, and probably other, senses co-arising nondually,
then what do you think could survive of your Ego identity
upon total biosystemic flatline demise of your natural-chemically elementary cellular body?

From where would sensory consciousness and memory emerge?
From when, and for how long?

[Hang on there now. I’m stuck back on the where question,
which I think should probably default as Nowhere,
Ego emerges from nowhere?
No, no, If dead,
then Ego as sensory consciousness and memory is nowhere
at that time, and on into the future of EarthTribal evolutionary history.
No such phenomenon.
No such experience within continuous Earth-spinning Time.
I think?
But only as long as I dance this Ego-consciousness string
I am]

As your mindbody decomposes,
is this really still your Ego’s story?
In that future time of opportunities for health and relationship
and transactions,
capacities for ongoing communication,
you struggle to face their mortal loss now, projecting forward,
we struggle together to find faith
these lost opportunities are not your post-critical event
of loss, decay, absence, inevitable physical and mental defeat.

[I don’t even have faith that anyone will think that day
has come even one day too soon.
Nor would I care to invest in such an unwise faith.]

Or,
in the face of this inevitable termination of Ego’s mindbody story,
do you,
as unfolding conscious memory-string of continuous information,
transform into your nutritionally reiterating responses and contributions
reverberating within EarthTribe’s ReGeneration Story?

Is your Ego expanding out toward Earth’s Story?
pregnant pregenetic, nearly timeless Creation Story,
out and yet deeply into this Elder (0)Riginal Intent.

Is Ego now transliterating self-perpetuating Yang with CoArising Yin

mind/body elational resonant resolutions
giving oneself birth into this body’s time
as giving ourselves freedom
for time’s codependent love of light ourselves.

[My self-image emerges rather far toward the depressive side
of love as ecoconscious light myselves.
Oh, wait, maybe that connection between agape as Basic Attendance,
understory of all those relational dramas, and nonrelational boredoms,
and fears,
and angers,
and….]

Memories,
knowledge,
thoughts,
comprehension,
dissonance and dismay,
feelings of elation and relation,
anticipation,
innocence,
ignorance,
love and hate,
anger and fear,
all Ego’s products,
as Ego, in turn, is produced
by unfolding DNA instructions
within a nurturing DNA-developed warm embryonic womb
living in this specific time
within Earth’s evolution of continuing ecosystemic health-consciousness.

[Oh, I get it, health as therapy-consciousness.
Puts a postmillennial twist on post-doctoral medicinal sciences.
Kind of self-serving, though,
unless all humane-nature is for ecotherapeutic vocations,
in dying as in living,
in living as optimally visible through mortality’s timeless lens.]

What we inherited from Elder wombs of Time’s incarnation
is what Ego becomes
to cherish as responsible authority
rooted within teleologically exegetical historic evidence
unveiling regenerative evolutions as cooperative nested-networks,
and to let go free as a last pay-it-forward gift
to nurture future healthy regenerations of time
bilaterally echoing
fractal-polypathic light,
(0)-TaoWombTime.

[Why do I feel like I could use a bath
more than a cigarette?]

Time,

[I’m wondering if there is something in Taoist water
that regenerates this wu wei balance
spinning through my bicamerally revolving mind
as body?]

Could you become as curious about other’s Ego development stories
as you have obsessed about your own?

[Wait a minute,
when did I give you the OK to label me as self-obsessed?
Or maybe the balance point here
invites comparisons between obsessive curiosities,
in which case
perhaps my own Ego health constant revival
does indeed lie most mortally on my failing mind.]

If so,
please note differences
but memorize Earth’s natural systemic similarities,
especially about what we all want our end to say
one day
about capacities for love and peace,
about gradually subsiding incapacities of anger about Ego losses
and fear of future Earth as sacred compost,
transubstantiated post-climatic residency.

Namaste.

[Namaste.
Oh wait,
was I supposed to write that out loud?]

History’s Teachable Moments

Most of what happened in Uncle Ollie’s all too public life also resonated through his private transformations.

S/he became perhaps the first ever U.S. Secretary of Education without so much as a lowly Teacher’s Certificate in his/her bio, but was tapped more or less on the strength of her Certification as a Permaculture Designer, which s/he had ecologically mapped onto the Political Sciences of PostMillennial Taoism, in her text bearing that title.

In the early weeks of her tenure as Secretary (0)-Liver Glory, s/he now appearing only as Ms, if someone really needed a gender label to use, “…or how about Trans(0)Liver?” S/he often threw seeds toward the wind, but not all caught—that came along a little after her time with us.

Uncle Ollie agreed to speak on the topic of educational priorities during a National Governor’s Conference. S/he said, after her remarks went viral, that she didn’t realize she was to address the entire assembly, much less anticipate CNN and other media attention.

Thank you for your warm welcome here in Texas. The last time I was here I was at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport walking barefoot on the grass for a minute or so before a remarkably outraged Texas State Police Officer informed me I would be arrested if I did not get off the grass immediately.

I looked and listened to the chemically enriched grasses speak their sterilized voices, as best they could, and found no complaint from there. So I asked the Officer why would I be arrested for standing on public Texas soil.

For trespassing. Can’t you read? The signs say “Keep off the Grass.”

So, anyway, namaste for not greeting me with Keep off our Grass. I am slowly learning that, if thinking of landing in Texas, it is best that I am first invited, and second, I carefully follow written directions.

You asked me to say a few words about educational policy in the U.S., presumably because of, or even despite, germane remarks published in Political Sciences of PostTaoism as PermaCulturing Design and Healthy Education Development.

 In Pronia, Rob Brezsny writes “As long as we give up our control fantasies, we’ll always get what we want.” (p. 174)

Yes, Mr. Brezsny, but is what we want also what we need for good health, for mental health, for healthy absorbent listeners and productive consumers of Earth’s richly communicating history?

I am not so new to the Department of Education to have retained any control fantasies.  Yet I am still new enough to remain awed by learning what people most want to learn, to have more abundant, happy pursuits of contenting peace and political with economic justice.

What do we most want to learn? Are these reflected in our pedagogical priorities, in our learning environments, our mental health facilitation gestalts, in our Positive Psychology?

 And, should this primal question of learning to live within our healthiest best integrity not remain our highest and best global educational priority?

Healthy learning outcomes for individuals, families, communities,

biosystems and ecosystems,

co-mentor healthy learning,

polypathic intentions, plans, designs,

program implementation and post-coital evaluation.

 

In Permacuture Design

and in Taoism

and other mindfulness-rooted ecotherapies,

we begin healthy learning with focused (0)-zone bicameral listening

to co-arise deep learning

what and why and how this healthy information,

communication,

where and when and why these cooperatively therapeutic civil eco-servants

can and will learn from each other

our self-governing evolutionary proclivities and preferences of healthy intuitive mind

and DNA-norm-rooted body development,

polycultural maturation,

consumption co-arising productive vocational rebalance,

political relationship and economic transaction as ecological coherence,

integrity of polypathic prehension through comprehension,

deep personal as public sectoral healthy ecoconsciousness,

listening-learning cooperative education,

co-mentoring co-messiahs,

revolutionarily inclusive multicultural non-verbal co-mentors,

evolving cooperative listening-learner co-mentorships

within loving life families, and schools, and communities.

 

Healthy,

contented,

happy minds in bodies

most want to learn how to perpetually mature,

reiterate and propogate,

resonate and resolve as recreate,

regenerate this deep learned and learning history of enculturing health,

and dissonant pathology.

 

I believe healthy extended families,

extending across all this Milky TaoWay of History’s Revelation,

yet especially within our EarthTribe’s polymorphic healthy Truths

as tastes-good Beauty,

and further extending back through time

to our still-emerging (0)Riginal BlackHole Tipping Point

of  this our sometimes civil SelfEducating-ReGenerating Universe,

now further extending forward

toward health-regenerative educational deep learning priorities,

within vast RealTime as SpaceTime frame,

we, invested in governing,

remain most polyculturally-multiculturally ideal for experiencing,

noticing,

reiterating,

reclaiming,

remembering,

reincarnating educational health

as ecologically self-governing,

deep-learning wealth of Earth’s temporal dialects and seasons.

 

Healthy deep learning listeners

co-mentor health as wealth of polypathic education planning,

implementing,

assessing CQI healthy education outcomes.

Not quite a mantra,

perhaps an outline

as mutual Secretaries of Education as Deep Learning CoMentoring Vocations.

 

But, this Secretary would very much appreciate hearing now

from you.

As you listen to your students,

as you have yourself become a student,

as you continue pushing through as a student,

at least of your own evolutionary development,

what is most important to learn,

and therefore to teach,

if it is not how to cooperatively love healthy relationships

and eco-normic transactions?

How and where do we already focus within narrow cusps

of doublebound NOW,

where Yang’s truthing powers

and Yin’s dipolar coarising harmonic function

swim and fly,

sometimes walk too heavily Yang,

and sometimes struggle against rather than with each Other.

 

Yet ultimately we evolve Earth’s MidWay CoArising healthy love

of learning through cooperative

evolutionary

mutually-subsidiary education,

rooted way way back

in aptic Basic Attendance co-empathic listening,

absorbing, ingesting,

breathing Yang air in  Yin’s wet flowing atmospheric frequencies out

among Earth’s co-arising Tribes.

 

Please use all our microphones to share with us

your own hopes for the future of learning priorities on Earth,

because all lives matter,

or life itself does not matter

because it cannot sustain healthy internal and external climates—

deductively reducing ourselves to timeless future regenerating investments of dust.

 

Secretary Glory,

while I think I see where this heads,

facilitating pedagogical health environments

and interpersonal relationships,

I remain concerned,

especially as Governor of Texas,

that even Lone Star states continue too much ineffective response

to remedial learning situations facing growing numbers of life’s students.

Especially those not prepared to become students,

adolescents not aware of integrities possible for becoming healthy adults,

PostMillennials who are better prepared to co-mentor abuse and neglect,

boredom and depression and chronic stress,

hyperactivity,

LeftBrain attention deficits

and death-row watches.

 

To discover or recover personal and public health

do we need to invest more in Anger Management

and NonViolent Communication?

Perhaps I am too addicted to my control fantasies,

but how do we get from teaching bored,

disinvested,

alienated,

angry,

frightened,

too-often bullied,

if only by ignorance and general neglect of healthy curiosity,

consumers of historical-cultural information

within pedagogical gestalts designed for happy healthy positively engaged

co-mentoring investors in learning

these hows and whys of healthy personal,

social,

political,

economic,

and ecological development?

 

I appreciate and share your question, Governor,

share your concern

and hope your question addresses all assembled here today.

 

And, while your question does not ask,

who is responsible for setting a healthy stage for learning

personal and public distinctions between healthy interests,

rather than pathological ruminations of egocentric stuckness,

co-mentored collective addictions to anger and fear management,

this is a question that I also find within my Taoist way

of understanding regenerativity as healthy balance,

wherein yin political responsibility for learning relationships

remains equitably shared, at least normatively,

within our sense of justice and fair cooperative play,

with yang’s default authority,

responsive relationships as voiced response

co-arising yang/yin self and social,

personal as also public,

responsibility within authority blending culpability for consciousness,

knowing as co-learning,

expecting actively co-operative open communication,

especially within remedial fissures and foaming fulminations

of anger and fear management,

where love might thrive as co-operative peace co-mentoring development.

 

Where lies this moral culpability,

where our sense of responsibility emerges predefined

by grey-limned authorities?

Cooperatively intended political sciences

produce cooperative economies

within communication’s healthy v. toxic responsibilities.

 

If innocence is absence of culpable responsibility,

could ignorance evolve through educational neglect of culpable authority?

Learning health emerges most apparent, vivacious,

where yang’s truth authority, empowerment,

conjoins yin’s collatorally symmetrical co-mentoring responsibilities

for learning from informing functional behaviors,

verbal with non-verbal,

thought with feelings,

positive as doubly negative,

within as doubly without,

folding as doubly unfolding.

 

Both innocence and ignorance are drawn to mystery,

medicine,

health

rather than stagnant pathologies,

as comprehension seeks wisdom,

as animus eroticizes agapic anima,

as love seeks life amongst ourselves,

as health seeks regenerative abundance,

multicultural learning outcomes

through active evolutionary cooperativity.

 

Perhaps our educational priorities are now already evolving

to teach one integrative polypathic regenerative story,

through diverse paradigmatic lenses.

Leaves with stems are icons of dynamic economic-nutritional health systems,

as seeds and eggs emerge ecological regenerative research

through embryonic revolutions of healthy learning fertility.

As I watch the CNN replay, a pregnant pause emerges from Secretary Glory’s abrupt, yet potentially fertile, end. A pause increasingly ambiguous and momentous, even as I sit before Uncle Ollie’s kitchen table, late this night, knowing how this silence must unfold.

Later, (0)-Liver sends a follow-up letter addressed oddly to the “Governors of these Yet-Uniting States”:

I am aware, in hindsight, that you, public sector Governors, and hopefully private sector healthy self-governors, may share my own curiosity about ancient, still-evolving, histories of social and economic governance.

When Earth’s self-educational story did not yet include the self-awareness resources of DNA,

when all Earth’s Tribes were RNA rooted in composting soil,

what did we learn

to personally,

and more politically and economically,

more public sectorally,

regenerate self-governance of life

through safe and healthy principles of development?

 

In this, our PostMillennial Era,

we discover a profoundly historical-evolutionary question,

with implications for educational priorities,

yet also for biosystemic and ecosystemic self-governance,

thinking more inclusively,

as a forest of networking root systems might co-arise

Trees of LeftBrain Economic Truth as RightBrain Political Beauty.

 

The PreMillennial distinction

between Moose “power”

and Owl “medicine”

goes on back toward the origins of the PermaCultural Agrarian Era.

In this time,

“power” more or less translated into what we might call therapeutic,

or health-power.

 

Power could not yet be a tool distinguishable from self-identity.

Rather power was most widely experienced in the context of “power with Other,”

regardless of who or how “Other” was perceived.

Power with Other to procreate,

to hunt together,

to demonstrate building of fires and planting of seeds,

co-mentoring communications,

all cooperatively functional,

competitively dissonant and dysfunctional.

 

This blend of therapy and power,

according to Julian Jaynes’ evolutionary theory,

emerges from Elder Right hemispheric roots

to dominate language cultures

as the correlational ability to perceive “not me”

as core identity of what later became encapsulated in “therapy-positive”

and “pathology-negative”

and both relational,

indistinguishable from “sole-identity power.”

 

The first cultural experience of power

becomes the ability of “self” referencing as “not-Other;”

a “self” that evolves dipolar co-arisingly identifiable from “not-self”

because of perceived,

then learned, further reinforced, spatial-temporal distinctions

deriving from Prime DiPolar CoIdentity Relationship,

distinction between what “self” could unilaterally control,

and what self could not autonomously control.

 

Prior to LeftBrain dominance over RightBrain aptic confluence,

our RNA-Elders, grass and trees and coral reefs,

had no possibility of confused awareness

between internal-univocal yin-power

and bilaterally interdependent, mutually symbiotic,

co-mentoring Yang/Yin CoArising Power.

 

The original “self” awareness embryonically emerges,

continues to emerge,

from time as light’s primal Eulerian infrastructure of “We-ness,”

an ionic,

then ergodic,

then bilateral co-gravitating ProteanYang with DiPolar Elating YinYin elective function,

confluent, mutually-held, synergy between emergent YangEgo

and composting Elder YinEmbryonicOther,

love as LaoTse’s contentment,

as Basic Attendance among our Bodhisattva Occupiers of DeepLoveLearning,

(0)Riginal temporal experience of undifferentiated integrity,

which becomes iconically languaged as Original Intent

of MedicineEarthOther,

a cooperative dipolar co-arising ReGenerative Network,

time as both Yang light c-squared,

and yinyin e-squared fractal-function

of ecosystemic EarthBound RNA/DNA thermodynamic balance.

 

As we compare notes across our public sector governing desks,

each with co-arising responsibility and economically culpable authority,

it seems to me that overall regenerative health evidence of history

suggests deep political learning evolves highest and best-outcome projections

with rich cooperative ecological polypathic co-investments in co-mentoring nutrients,

rather than suboptimizing remedial toxins of anger and fear management

without pro-actively co-invested love and peace development.

 

To believe otherwise,

to act as if learning is nurtured best through competitive words and numbers,

used as tools to outshine the sun itself,

seems to follow the path of  Anger/Fear control fantasies,

rather than actually arriving in the Truth as Beauty co-educational paradise we actually want

with each Other.

Healthy Truth is no more a singularity
than is Beauty
or Wisdom
and Health.

Synergetic Symposis, further excerpts

During my final semester the President’s Office announces that Dr. (0)-Liver Glory is to be our commencement speaker. I am surprised and also surprised to have this come without any prior involvement in the decision. I am surprised that Uncle Ollie hasn’t even mentioned this as a possibility; that s/he assumes I want to live in her shadow on my big college graduation day.

I doubt I would feel so conflicted if anyone had bothered to solicit my support, or lack thereof. Regardless, it did remind me of when he made an unusually non-disruptive appearance at my high school graduation, as I rhetorically cast my philosophical spell across the valedictorian benediction, a lofty from-above farewell to fellow pilgrims along gainful information’s way.

He congratulates me on my speech. Not quite as elated as I had hoped, but maybe I only felt that twinge of disappointment later, after he advised me, as late June shadows stretched out across banks of now nearly empty chairs on the football field, to ignore most of the competitive economic and political assumptions shoveled out before, during, and immediately after Commencement. His response to my benediction is his own meditation on leaves and their embryonic seeds. “Your memory of life’s Trees of Good and Not-So-Much will fill in over time.”

Perhaps I had not demonstrated sufficient focus, because Uncle Ollie elaborated at the podium in Vermont as I sat among the ranks about to wander forth.

“The leaf is God of Fertility, photosynthesis, transubstantiation of light into healthy nutrition. The forest’s favored golden nut becomes Elder Mother EarthTribe’s sacred-embryonic scriptural Creation Story of healthy regenerative life, predicting our PostMillennial Tree of Healthy Good and True as wealthy cooperative eco-political Beauty.”

“This natural political truth as economic beauty, together emerging each life’s development ecology is already written within our genetic heritage. Our DNA/RNA ReGeneration Story predicts self-perpetuating polycultural development outcomes, both in our dreams, and living within sun’s photosynthetically nutritional enlightenment era.”

I am not the only one to doze off as s/he feels lost in remembering primordial permacultural language development. Whether s/he withdrew up on the stage, or I in my chair, or all of us cocooned into our pre-festive exhaustion, feeling constrained by English norms, relationships of similarity and difference between leaf nutritional functions and embryonic seed forms, folds and unfold strictures, instructions, fractal regenerative, dialectical syntax…

Until the only human voice available speaks from early Evolutionist Prophets, name dropping Bucky Fuller, Julian Jaynes, Thomas Kuhn, Karl Popper, Andrew Cohen, all foretold by LaoTse, Dr. (0)-Liver’s most beloved humorist of life’s ecobalancing WuWei.

(0)-Liver was fascinated with prehistoric permacultural designs and dialects of iconic language, rhythms, geometric patterns as symbols for natural events.

Sun rays represent light, but also language distinctions such as goodness, bright, beauty, medicine, therapy, health, bounty, power with love, held together by Sun’s fueling embryonic relationship to Earth’s birth, flowering as EarthTribe ecoconsciousness, captured in RNA/DNA Identity Solidarity.

RNA/DNA Solidarity was already a PreMillennial stretch of (0)-Liver’s deductive-academic imagination. But, Glory’s further political ecology of solidarity as cooperative synergy with ectosymbiotic natural functions was well before her pre-revolutionary time.

S/he had no audience for this too-eisegetically subjective/intuitive line of conjecture. No resonance, as she might have said, and, in fact, did say in the privacy of her own backyard.

Here, in her holy of holies, s/he spoke and listened with her beloved birds, earthworms, trees. This was the solidarity of ecological communication of which s/he not-so-resonantly spoke with other of us humans during her PreMillennial era.

Glory’s self-prescribed ecotherapy, during her more retiring, eremitic Taoist (0)-Liver reincarnation, was to breathe and bathe and dream in permacultural bicameral designs, balancing Yang as Yin prime-Zero square-rooted EcoMetric-Iconic Language; his Left healthy Interior Language with her Elder RightBrain polypathic Exterior RNA-praxis of regeneratively healthy development, measured in time invested within sunlight.

When (0)-Liver Glory wrote of love, s/he was more likely to be sitting outside her home, on backyard deck cushions, drenched in sunscreen, following the shade-lines as they crossed her organic edible and ornamental gardens.

Uncle Ollie had this theory, well…not really even a well-defined hypothesis, but more of a hunch of some kind, that Vitamin D, which isn’t really even a vitamin, is as important to normal daytime experience as sleep is to healthy nighttime processing of experience.

These two gestalts, outdoors in RNA-predominate environments and indoors interior endosymbiotic dream consciousness, speaking to and with each other in confluent voices and dialects of ecological analogy.

Sometimes s/he would veer off into sunlight compared to moonlight, ergodic rhythms and patterns with revolving ionic synergy, sharing fractal as double-bound octave frequencies of color as sound and pitch and tone direction. This diversionary string s/he preferred to keep hidden, if only because s/he wasn’t sure of its polypathic merit, in proportion to its threat of self-declared madness.

And yet, in more subdued moments, on a beach, or walking along the river behind her home, s/he invested more leisurely time ruminating aloud about the evils and the goods of human shelter. Great for inclement weather; not so great for warm no-rain weather relationships.

S/he feared our over-developed domestication was leading to negative correlational under-development, suboptimization of healthy natural relations between RNA-scripted and DNA organic balanced humanity. Most shelters invited daytime outdoor activity, because outdoors felt like a more comfortable alternative than dark and dank interiors. But, as this turned into shelters looking out over concrete and asphalt at other two-story on up to high-rise structures, blocking not only sensory communication with Earth’s soil, but also light and sky and breeze, then our sense of political health began to unravel from our lifestyle wealth; our basic economic wealth no longer rediscovered each day as our ecologically sheltered and unsheltered mental and physical health. “Overly domesticated enculturation—neither healthy nor sustainable.”

Planting, Growing, and Harvesting Lovers

By now this self-analytical Left mindbody lens grows thin
imagining dualistic cultural dominance,

toward truer-healthier Yang/Yin EcoCentric Balance.

I still work toward hearing political and economic love-potential
through loud and dissonant, sometimes wild and downright ugly,
voice within my own richly diverse extending muticultural families.
What might I do that could actually please all sixteen
of my grandparents grandparents?
AND, all our current grandchildren’s future grandchildren,
nearly regardless of species,
although I do harbor some prejudices again overly aggressive and thorny brambles,
gratuitously clinging out-of-control ivy,
and, well, yes I see my anthrocentric desires to recreate
to please my own aesthetic and nutritional pleasures.

I still play while listening within political-economic bird and insect song
and dance
and rhythms of embryonic development patterns
of polymorphic co-exegetically healthy growth and safety trends.
This backyard outdoor therapeutic time
speaks more clearly through Earth’s patient Love Development Languages,
dialects,
logos of Earth’s revolving nutrient-rich dipolar light
as notnot equivalent
binomially TransParent YinYin
EcoConscious BiCameral Light.

Here, embryonically swimming in warm organic early June’s DeLight,
fluttering yang/yin breathing leaves of forest waves
scenting pollen’s fertile fresh scent,
Yang love Yin loves Yang,
much more contenting
then Yang dominates Yin recesses bipolar-oppositional-defiant;
projecting future eco-not-so-logical climate changes
of a revolutionary traumatic EarthBound Nature,
bad news for RNA and DNA regenerate health
co-operative investors.

Now if we could grow stronger love inside the house
to smell and feel and sound more reminiscent
of this outdoor song and dance party,
perhaps I might have more to offer my neighbors,
especially the edibles and ornamentals,
between which my Fetal Alcohol Defiant Daughter
quite often fails to distinguish.

Fortunately for ornamental me,
a female robin just stopped by
to invite our co-mentored Basic Attendance Therapy
between apparently alien-languaged biosystems.

Her visit honors me,
as she invites my reconnection
within our shared ReGenerating Heritage
and Future CoCreation Story.

Wisdom’s Political ConScience

“Where love rules, there is no will to power;
and where power predominates, there love is lacking.
The one is the shadow of the other.”
Carl Jung

Active love co-arises power
articulating poli-economic co-wisdom.

Wisdom smiles through Poetry’s Muse
showing reasoned language as Earth’s nature-stories,
and explores,
even occasionally implodes,
treasons of language to articulate dynamic creations,
recreations,
playful transliterations,
sacred transubstantiations.

Science, Research, Industry
and Poetry
and Creation Stories
emerge from natural roots
in primary full-octave color frequencies
of receptive investment in perceptive production.

Yang and Yin
equally rooted in plasmatic Air flowing as Double-Boundaried Water.
Bold Discovery and Enlightening Surprise
both rooted in co-arising Ego cultures.
Deductive Logic and Induced-Evoked Metaphor
both rooted in Allegorical Logos.

Exegetical Beliefs flower from Significant Feelings
as Facts emerge from less significant, eisegetical feelings.
Beliefs and Facts
language co-arising roots of and for Wisdom’s ReGenerating Culture,
birthing History,
stretching toward Love’s abundant Harvest.
History toward Harvest
as Learning develops Love,
birthing CoArising EnLightenment.

As Ego incarnates Revered CoHost Guest of Earth’s Evolving Times,
longing begets belonging,
symmetry begets wholeness,
oppositionally evolving heuristics beget appositionally revolving dynamics.

Poets must not neglect power to become wise
as Actors cannot abuse power and remain wise characters.
Leaders cannot neglect wisdom to sustain cooperative power
as Followers,
CoMuses of life’s love and suffering loss experiences,
must not impatiently abuse deep sensory co-passions
to win wealthy powers
co-arising Earth’s bio- and eco-systemic Wisdom.

YangPower is fertile as wild yeast
as YinWisdom evolves poli and poly and multi cultural yeast.

Love is to Wisdom
as Yang is to Yin,
co-rooted within Earth’s warm womb,
light’s co-evolving octaves of History.

Love is to Wisdom’s Power
as Wisdom loves co-operating EarthBound Power.

As sacred I’s regenerate to see,
as natural eyes regenerate toward Earth’s self-consciousness,
EgoMe born of and returning toward EcoWe,
EchoWe,
regenetic Elders evolving diastatic Time through Wisdom’s Light.

Trinitarian Voices

Father’s Voice

Your ungainly question,
What is the meaning of Life?
reminds of another,
What is purpose to Beauty?
which reminds of,
What is meaning and purpose for Grace?
and Karma?

Not ugly, empty, meaningless death, perhaps?

Life, like beauty, evolves appositional responses
of meaning, outlined, co-defined by negative losses and suffering
and absence of healthy purpose,
staying away from pathologies and toxins
and uglies and means and greeds and envies
and Ego dominance;

Life, like beauty,
evolves toward more nutritionally balanced, blended,
proportional symmetry, equi-valency,
full-color cultures,
more rainbow-octavish dancing in circles health
choices found within
your deep ecology of internal as external beauty
as responsible and wholesome cooperative truths,
all merging toward our universally golden hypothesis
that EarthTribe is in this messy beautiful evolution of regenerativity
profoundly and radically and ubiquitously and co-arisingly together,
as we are each not hypnotically immersed within noisy stagnant ugly competing Ego
monopoly games
losing life’s healthy integrative, assimilative
beautiful beloved potential.

Son’s Response

Seeking purposive meaning for life and beauty and love
feels like trying to gratefully worship a transcendent God
outside myself,
outside my responsibilities,
relationships,
outside my political and economic authority,
outside my friends and enemies,
outside Earth and all Earth’s bio- and ecosystems.

Yet, all I can know of this outsideness
is absence, loss, death, dismay, abandonment, neglect, violence
competing among themselves for loudest voice
where God is not incarnate,
not omnipotent,
not omnipresent,
not life,
not beauty,
not love.

If God is not my epicenter of healthy active incarnating love,
seeding and weeding and watering and nourishing
and polyculturally-multiculturally harvesting
abundant communication and community and personal
and political and economic cooperative health,
responsible and authoritative ecotherapeutic evolution
of Self as Other
interdependent with Earth’s ecological co-mentoring,
co-messianic,
bodhisattva occupier vocational opportunities
responding true within Earth’s radically profound Beauty
as Love
Basic Attendance
mindful ecoconsciousness,
when all feels and smells and tastes and walks well,
then I, dear Faither, have become a practicing atheist.

And, that could work out just fine,
therapeutically,
so long as I avoid ego-
and anthrocentric excesses;
yet Love Fertilization
seems so much easier and effective
than Anger Management.

Spirit-Nature Resonance

Perhaps a profound difference
between human nature and Earth’s other forms and dialects
merges our bilateral capacities to choose response
to longing and belonging
with their opposite intentions.

Belonging inspires antipathies of not belonging,
mutual immunities recognized and assimilated,
while longing inspires reiteratively resonant co-longing to help,
heal,
and sometimes play with each other.

Because we have opportunities to choose mutual belonging,
this Basic Attendance assimilation
of Earth’s incarnate longing for life and beauty and truth
becomes incumbent ecoconsciousness
within our more cooperative political and economically interdependent,
co-evolving futures.

Two Cooperative Capitalists Are Better…

Cooperation is
about integrity of relationship,
for equitable integration,
maybe even some healthy co-arising assimilation,
correlation
co-relations.

Cooperatism is about investing our healthy time
in ourSelves
and each and every EarthBound Other,
as iconic of Earth’s vast health potential,
evolving
revolving
dissolving
involving
divesting
investing;

While Capitalism is also about health-investing our money,
commodities of Time’s equivalent value,
physical resources and ecosystemically considerable assets,
our vital true ErosCapital transubstantiating Earth’s affluently assimilative Agape,
ionic future value-icons to become redeemed
by, for, with Earth’s EcoSystemic regenerating therapeutic balance,
political and economic cooperative evolution, of course,
but recovered
re-involved through polyculturing/multiculturing true-health EcoLogic,
where Earth’s longing to repurpose
greets Ego’s most sublimely heuristic wu-wei co-belonging.

Capitalism, divested of its Cooperatistic Political and Economic Evolution,
is a sad reminder
of wealth v. poverty over-industrially severed from their permacultural roots,
health v pathology;
Capitalism, divested of Cooperative Models and Theorems of ReGenerative Evolution,
is a suffering suboptimizing reminder
of Capitalism re-invested through Natural EcoSystemic Cooperatism’s vast health potential,
within as without.

Capitalism is iconic of Cooperatism
as light is ionic for time’s evolutionary passing.
Capital is to Cooperate
as economic mind is to political body.

Leaders and Reporters

Why do you do as you do
and not do as you don’t say?
asked the journalist of the leader,
asked the child of her parent.

Because I like to help
and I do not enjoy recognizing myself
as a selfish hypocrite,
responds the leader
to writers of famous and infamous history,
respond political/economically powerful parents
to children writing co-creation stories.

How do you know you are helping
and not helping retain a flawed toxic elitist system,
maintaining poverty of margins
far below wealth piling into too much power?
asked the cynical divestor
challenging this help-as-health investor,
asked the hurt and wounded child
challenging her health-confessing professing culture.

I doubt I could help
without co-investing in flawed health with pathology
in both political and economic systems,
responds this wu wei leader,
responds this co-mentoring parent,
but what have you noticed
might help more
while collaterally hurting less?

It seems to me,
writes aging journalist,
resonates maturing residents of Earth,
those plans and budgets and stories cooperatively researched and written
by and with and for co-investors in our civil enterprise
sustain more healthy wealth,
with less pathological backwash,
as compared to Business As Usual,
self-hypnotic static monocultures,
winning to lose further competitors toward mutual empowerment.

Why do you notice as you do
and not do as you don’t say?
asked the leader of the journalist,
asks our Elders of their multiculturally extending Tribe.

AgapeMind and ErosBody

It is my intimate physicality,
genderality,
sexual identity,
homonality,
juiciality of love,
Yang-fused Eros rather than a less intensely elational Yin-Agape,
troubling me,
remaining dissonantly articulating
through aging bones of mind and body,
Theorem and Proof,
this despairing of time and place
for expanding mutual reincarnating future loves.

Love as integrity of touch and addictive hypnosis
co-arising Ego’s synergetic nurture,
feeding and fueling nature’s beloved Other,
within PrimalPair frames,
Coupling communicators and regenerators,
mutually fusing Eros,
exploring our integrally intimate co-incarnating Agape.

My youngest son has cerebral palsy
which has limited his mind’s capacity to understand and form abstractions,
such as language,
yet he well understands nurturing v. pathological relationships.

I wonder what distinctions between Yang’s Eros and Yin’s Agape
lie within this my love’s perfection Son?
His responses to life’s variables and constants
remain both uninformed by,
and therefore unrestricted by,
love’s metaphysical abstractions
about what our relationship could look and feel and smell and taste like tomorrow
that would distinguish imagined differences
from how we feel together today.

This perpetual youth of love’s human incarnation
cannot age and learn and develop into diffusion
and dissonance of his body’s response to Eros-Yang
and his mind’s resonance with Agape-Yin Self with Yin-Other
primal WinWin love relationship.

My nondually both kind and unkind Taoist Master Son,
icon of coarising Eros/Agape,
is LeftBrain nonlanguaged, non-dominant,
enculturing love of yet more synergetic organic healthy love,
as best he can recover this Golden Fleece of internal/external climate balance.

If his body feels good and healthy
his mind feels this truth as richly contenting beauty,
fertile synergetic whole (0)sum-ness,
cognitive symmetry as affective integrity.

He dreams in Eros
as he wakes to Agape v. Pathology
within his Beloved EarthTribes
communicating through networks of fertile resonance,
and occasional wilting, dissonant climatic issues,
internal seizures,
and sometimes blaring loud angry frightened mouths
he has no desire to comprehend
as anything other than cause for further laughter,
where Eros and Agape practice divine comedy co-creation stories
to unfold later.

Excerpts from Synergetic Symposia

I recall one of those rare college visits with Uncle Ollie. Actually, as I recall, I had just finished my undergraduate years in Vermont, and was on my way south and west on an internship pilgrimage, to see what and whom might feel right for me.

We had been discussing political science as analogically equivalent with permaculture design. He thought the only substantial difference between what each had promise of becoming was whether we were discussing network relationships between DNA-biosystems only, or interrelationships of DNA with Elder RNA.

We pause, drawn into our silence together. Then he asks me how I see him. “Who am I to you?”

I can’t think how to respond, other than as Uncle Ollie. He doesn’t seem to fit into any category that comes to mind. I can see Mummins, which was a term that began together behind her back, but then came out of its closet, usually to her amused, more playful, response. I could see Mummins in Uncle Ollie, but something more ambivalent too, defying my capacity to label.

In my silence he offered, “I see myself as an intelligent old man-woman who is curious, but also timid, about death as the absence of egocentric memory and identity.”

“I see an old man doing his best to invest his remaining healthy time in Earth’s remaining healthy time. Urging co-investment in our EarthTribe’s remaining healthy time. So, yes, I try for expanding my compassion into ecologically, politically, economically cooperative healthy development, Exterior community landscape Plan A, meeting and greeting and doing my best Plan B Interior personal landscape, until Plan B becomes nothing more or less than a mirror of Plan A.”

“Other than the old man part. I see you this same way, doing your best to adapt your relationships (political) and your transactions (economic) to your ecological exegesis of DNA’s natural ecosystemic story, logos, mythos, permacultural designs, social-political science.”

That was when I first realized that I see Uncle O-Liver as an old wise transgenderish polypathic listening and loving icon of deep ecological learning history. History about which I too have always found mysterious and perhaps even a sacred side of Earth’s ecosystemic Regenerative = HumanelyCooperative Design.

Strange. He asks me how I see him to show me how he sees me. Or maybe not. Perhaps he really does invite some feedback from my PostMillennial future. I hope so. That’s most certainly what he has coming, as do we all, I guess.

0-Liver’s lifestyle was far too ambiguous to say he was a Democrat or a Republican, or even a Libertarian or Green, although those latter two, together, may have been closer to his view that Earth’s evolutionary evidence points to a political science of active love-synergy as CoOperatism, like economic and political socialism, except using our global networking capacity to reverse power hierarchies toward cooperative decision-making authority at the lowest level of ecosystemic responsibility for each other, and ourselves, of course.  And, even responsibility for each other as mutually subsidiary-cooperative sharers in Earth’s Plan A ReGenerative economy and politically deep ecology of health and eco-therapeutic safety.

“You know, health, happiness, prosperity for all of Earth’s ReGenerating Tribes and ecosystems? The stuff of which our Elders established constitutions of cooperative economic and political intent?”

It was neither his intent or desire to start yet another political “non-party” as he called them. Across the board, combining all paradigms, areas of expertise and deductive specialization, across all this vast metaphysical complexity of languages and dialects, he argued for a Commons of Health-As-Wealth Value, often rather too passionately for the comfort of his academic colleagues.  “We already have all the information, precedent, evidence for cooperatively sustainable evolution through ecological balance we could ever hope to achieve, using (0)-sum and –centric Fullerian Synergetics.”

During his one and only debate as U.S. Senate candidate, the incumbent asked him, “Isn’t this zeroistic cooperativism you attribute to Buckminster Fuller’s political philosophy actually just a cover for your own Taoist hidden agenda?”

“Well, yes and no,” Uncle Ollie responds. “Yes, if anyone residing in Connecticut remains unaware of my own Taoist way of exegeting history and cultural evolution. But, no, for those who see Fullerian Synergism as ecologically equivalent with Taoist nondual dipolar Zeroism.”

Apparently, he scored alright with that response, perhaps a bit too ahead of his time. But, not so far ahead that everyone assumed he was as insane as Donald Trump, but in the opposite direction.

Anyway, I don’t think CoOperativism or nondual Taoist ZenZeroism, or even Fullerian Synergy lost that election, but it wasn’t yet enough to win it either.

Now, of course, these basic principals of thermodynamic permacultural design are facilitated and reinforced throughout our deep ecology learning systems, on line, in homeschools, and in what’s left of the premillennial Education-As-If-All-Earth’s-Lives-Matter preschools through universities.

One could hardly become a political scientist today, or a public policy designer, much less a popularly elected public office-holder outside a personal and professional commitment to DNA with Elder RNA co-intelligent design of healthy bio- and ecosystems.

History, according to 0-Liver Glory, begins with the “Word.” Influenced by Christian wisdom literature, but with his/her own twist. That is, yes, history is our story of  relationship but not just any relationship. Rather, history is the story of relationships between analogies, exegesis of eisegetical ecologies, of sound and dialectical events, of symbol and reenactment.

Analogy, then, precedes logic, or rationality. Pre-linguistic history was attraction of relationships to what felt good, what appeared beautiful, graceful, to what sounded confluent, melodious, harmonic. So, wisdom’s connection to beauty and goodness is primordial to wisdom’s connection to Truth, and even metric systems.

Although he agreed with Pythagoreans that older than linguistic history was the evolutionary emergence of culture, the earliest story-telling and legend-building of collective memory was probably kinetic communication, forms of dance, embellished with humming, chanting, singing, signing symbols that evolved into rituals. From rituals to sacraments. From sacraments to metric symbols. From metrics, including geometrics, symbols evolved toward linguistically-rooted icons.

Immortality of cultural history emerges through co-creative intimacy, confluence as well as dissonance. Tribal fame becomes synergetic accessibility and vulnerability within each moment’s integrative opportunity to share meaning and purpose.
