All American Mentors

A happy healthy and wealth-integrated Right Brain
grows maturely silent as a calm winter night,
content to allow LeftBrain to ego-chatter away
debating further cooperative plans
for Earth’s and RightBrain’s and,
most immediately satisfying and nutritious,
EgoSelf’s better beloved belonging day.

In an evolutionary historical sense,
we are each and all,
Western and Eastern hemispheres,
Northern and Southern hemispheres,
RightBrain embedded in Matriotic Earth’s flowing regenerative warm womb,
before being exposed to the deductive spring of LeftBrain bicameral emergence,
bringing new-born evidence of Earth’s truth as beauty,
submitted by light of Father Sun’s co-empathic radiant trust
in what is MidWay warm,
not too Yangish zealously condemning hot,
and not too Yin-recessively disenfranchised cold.

This integratively cooperative and nurturing economy
of RightBrain’s heart chakra,
listens to deep ecologically learn, recall, remember
LeftBrain’s polypathic ecopolitical capital investment chakra,
with both wise opportunities
and overly reductive-deductive risks.

Yintegral Wisdom
RightBrain deep flowing
Yang’s polypathic bicameral imagination
toward spacetimeless capital-invested (0)-sum belonging,
void of any cogniive-affective remaining dissonance,
resistance to Yang/Yin cooperative ecopolitical contentment
within this silence
of a warm winter night’s co-redemptive womb,
becoming evolution’s further revolution
of polypathic bliss,
multiculturally invested
in bicamerally co-arising nonduality
of ecological ecopolitics
through winter’s contenting hibernation,
calm before more 2020 convergence storms
of laughter,
remembering how foolish LeftBrain has been
to not see RightBrain’s invisible health as wealth.

Cross-Reading

I’m reading The Evolving Self:
A Psychology for the Third Millennium,
by Czikszentmihalyi,
and How the West [sadly] Came To Rule:
The Geopolitical Origins of Capitalism,
Alexander Anievas and Kerem Nisanciogla
at the same time.

Czikszentmihalyi (C) wears academic labels of Positive Psychology,
interested in why and when and where our psyche’s do cooperatively flow best,
and when differentiated ego-identities are more likely to get in the way
of mental happiness optimization,
a co-empathic nondual bliss zone.

Anievas and Niscanciogla (A&N), well, it’s complicated,
but Anievas wears a political scientist label,
and is interested in why and when and where differentiated economic and political forces are more competitively successful,
winning in the militaristic and racist international volumes of violent comparative history.
This ecopolitical story unfolds unevenly empowered by resilience of ecosystemic balance
between healthy land and workers
and multicultural consumer-producer harmony,
at least on the more matriarchal home front of transgenerational nurturance,
formation,
WinWin familial and/or tribal, and/or feudal ecopolitics.

Here, international power relations grow up
to become the proud military-capital invested parents
of their prodigal children,
racial-cultural elites playing WinLose survivalist evolution
against internal-flow health of non-elite bioregions.
It remains unclear whether these Western Winners might have chosen to optimize more inclusive WinWin flow
by leading with cooperative ecopolitical empathic trust strategies;
just as this is often unclear within our day-to-day family feuds,
or even the LeftYang-RightYintegral battles
written across each human heart.

I start wondering if C’s co-arising forces of ego-differentiation and Self-with-Other harmonic flow opulence could,
on a wider, more geopolitical, scale,
be dynamically equivalent to A&N’s uneven ecopolitical health maturation
and integral flow of wealth,
ebbing and flowing international trends toward capital-rich nutrients.

If so, then these same appositional duo-dynamos are at work in Yang force
with Yin flow,
Left MindBody dominance with RightBrain elder-sacred economic recession,
and yet within this larger stage
the personal integrity possibilities of Left-Right geopolitical mindbody ecobalance remains.
At least imaginatively;
rather like a Thought Experiment of spectrum-relativity.

Each geopolitical phylogenic development process
begins baptized in a nurturing health-wealth matriotic economy
because this is true for each of us as ego-identified.
We might stand within historical reason
beginning with Elder RightBrain’s temporal-only center,
more autonomic and bilaterally-bicamerally intuitive.
RightBrain intuition could be an important source for Positive Psychology’s healthy nutritional flow patterns and rhythms
toward Self/Other integrity,
co-empathic trust as ecopolitically cooperative wealth.

In this time of urgent need to improve climate health,
rather than adding further pathological Yang LeftDominant competitions,
evolution’s phylogenic development invites healing through Yin-integrative flow,
reconnecting paradigmatic networks,
revolving our ego-eco deep learning YangEgo ebb
to more fully sustain
Yin’s eco-climate flow.

Another approach,
also ending in whatever “eco” means to you,
whether home or Rome or Earth or even the worship of capital itself,
is to notice that history is itself Yang Dominant,
as Yin-RightBrain speaks only the dialects of integrity’s relationship.
The search for Yang/Yin balance is, in this sense,
a search for ecopolitical domestic Left/Right justice with peace flow harmony,
deeply learned and held by the daily non-event miracles
of nonhistory’s matriotically integral evolutions
of sustained climate health
continuing to struggle with monocultural
LeftBrain militaristic and competing capitalistic history of WinLose wrongs,
of climate pathology.

This does not say,
nor imply,
that gender climates
and racial climates
and military climates
and economic climates
are all the same difference.
Nor does this suggest one is more important than the other.
That would be a YangDominant process of differentiation.

Needed now, for multicultural polypathic deep learning,
is Yin’s integral DNA/RNA solidarities
of double-binding (0)sum temporal-evolution-incarnating fractals
framing eternity signs of octave torus
matriotic integral and patriotic external refining eco-harmonics,
regeneratively guiding climate health
away from climate pathologies,
both psychological and geopolitical.

Winter’s Time 2016

Winter’s time
and the livin’s not easy.
Snow plows humpin’
and my mouth is too dry.

Well, well, well, well, well
your daddy ain’t rich
and your wallet’s not cookin’.
So sleep little baby,
don’t you,
don’t you cry.

[Insert your own scat blues here. You didn’t think I was going to do all the work did you?]

One of these nightly days
We’re gonna’ rise up singin’;
We’re gonna’ spring our wings
and fly to the sky sky, sky!

And on that great gettin’ up mornin’
there ain’t nothin’ gonna’ stop us,
with Mother Earth
an Father Sun
standin’
and spinnin’ bye….

Ba-duh, ba-duh, ba-duh,
Bu-Dah…..

 

Dedicated to all the SADs, especially those working through Advent 2016, trying to keep your winterish cool about TrumpAdministration 2017.

Complexities of Consciousness

Herein, the evolutionary positive psychologist’s voice is that of C,
leaning sometimes toward the yang-ego identity side,
while the evolutionary ecopolitician’s voice,
doing his best to play WinWin ecotherapist, is D.

C: The best way to live is by learning to control [Ego-Left] consciousness
D: by also deep learning to ecologically extend RightBrain flowing ecoconsciousness.

To do so, evolution,
whether personal or political larger stage,
cultivates certain permacultural-multicultural nurturing skills.

C: Ego acquires a discipline that at first may seem like mindless ritual
D: to acquire integrative flow,
at first feeling too mindfully rich with interdependently intuited trusting truths,
senses,
expressions,
analogies,
nutritional potential,
vibrancy,
buoyancy,
bliss,
even manic loss of clear-cut identity boundaries.

But, together, these Yang-Left with Yin-Right conversations,
ecological health discernments,
slow-grow integrative deductive-vertical
and inductive-bilateral
spiraling revolutionary flow
with our universal-Yang/Yintegral unitarian order;
where Yang is to universal patriotic political wealth
as Yin integrates unitarian matriotic nutritional health-flow.

C: Unless a person learns to control [Left-Right Balancing therapeutic] consciousness,
he or she cannot achieve harmony with the cosmos,
but will forever remain prey
to the random forces of biology and society.
D: And,
as we all ecologically learn to both control and communicate
LeftYang/RightYintegral harmonic ego/eco-consciousness,
Earth will continue evolving toward diastatic ecological harmony
within our shared interdependent deductive/inductive climate flow,
but will remain LeftBrain dominantly vulnerable to co-arising nondual coincidental pathological faces
of Business As Competitively Usual
economics and political divestment of sustained health relational time,
and, oh yes, money.

C: Nor will we know how to direct evolution toward greater complexity
unless our [ego] consciousness becomes more complex.
D: Nor will we polypathically know how to co-mentor multiculturing evolution
toward greater regenerativity
unless our ego/eco-conscious energetic balance
becomes more integratively extended.

C: What makes us different from other animal species
is the variety and mutual dependence of our psychic processes.
D: And
what makes us polypathically and ecologically similar
to other primates
is this same integrative-symbiotic variety
and multiculturing interdependence
of newer deductive/reductive Left-Yang patriarchal dominance
emerging from Elder Right’s matriarchally embryonic nurturance.

C: Evolution is the [deductively rewarded] history
of the complexity of living matter.
D: And, EarthTribe’s revolutions, within evolution,
are the inductively integrative matriarchally nurtured regenerativity
of ecologically extending families,
networks,
ecosystems destined for multigenerational Paradise,
predestined by embryonic DNA/RNA solidarity
of reweaving healthy wealth memories;
time as light’s fertility
with dualdark aptic-integrative hibernation,
in-between,
MidWay dancing wu-wei CoMentors.

C: We cannot easily advocate a certain preference for complexity,
or relinquish our [ego] responsibility for helping evolution along
D: by seizing our regenerative ego/eco-conscious cooperative opportunities,
investing our eco-integrative RightBrain invitations
to co-mentor multiculturing polypathy along.

 

Statements by C are drawn from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, as is the title of this piece, pp 169-170,The Evolving Self: A Psychology for the Third Millennium, 1993. With deep ecological appreciation.

Redundancies of Sleepy History

Ego Yang always seems to get Left in our stories,
to monopolize our creation history,
while Eco Yin keeps whispering that she’ll be Right out
as soon as she feels more feminist-matriotic nurtured,
invited with a more resonant flow-integrity,
appreciated as a more cooperative balance of grace.

This goes on
until Yang’s diastasis of self-improvement
and cooperative Yintegrating stasis
become one passage through time’s bilateral portal
of emerging light through life’s embryonic dualdark reweaving,
incarnating DNA rememories of all past lives
still emerging humane-divine,
Left-Right night out and day in
Earth’s wildly and richly and deeply revolving
landscaped skin of yin nurturance
lightening and darkening in response to Yang/Yin
Light’s fertile solar/lunar ebb and flow climates
of pre-organic enculturing history
of Yang/Yin redundantly peaceful revolutions.

The more broadly we draw this ecology
of humaneing-divining EarthTribe EcoLogic
Left-Right mindbody health development,
the more predictable and deductively mind-numbing we become.

The more precisely, specifically,
we speak about each economic-political empowering/disempowering choice,
of toothpaste,
magazines,
parental mentorship styles,
clothing
entertaining personalities,
stand up and still lying around comedians,
tensions within and/or without and/or within/without,
all those options learned in geometry, systems theory,
information and group and game theory,
and literature’s great hope for narrative plot-development,
the more overwhelmed by redundant boredom with my pen
and train of ruminating permacultural health planning
as Yang/Yintegral balancing design.

To live in some in-between
wu-wei
Tipping Poignant Community of speakers
and listeners,
readers and writers of history’s recreative times
degenerating Yang’s self-won isolation
to regenerate a more multiculturally articulate ecology—
our more Beloved Paradise of EarthTribe’s nutritional dialects,
speaking and imaging polypathically
of this, Earth’s ecologically sacred health integrity
toward non-triumphalistic strengths,
and yet still too sleepy deep listening rooted,
dreamy pilgrimage of DNA/RNA deep WisdomWealth enculturation.

Another LeftBrain Yang day and dreamy RightBrain Yintegrating night,
another Yang/Yin recreation story,
another volume of EarthTribe’s history
waiting to be LeftIn/RightOut redundantly rewritten.

Supremacy of Racial EcoPolitics

A racist favors separation of races.
Racists come in two varieties,
but both behaviorally favor separation of races,
if not theoretically,
then practically,
too comfortable with past apartheid,
such as all White faith communities,
for one nonexclusively intended example,
practicing our habitual ecosystemic politics of mistrust.

Racists favor separation of their race
from that of others
to further ecopolitical praxis of assumed racial superiority,
which is the ongoing mutual disempowerment story of racism.

There is no authentic empowerment side
in our racism story
because we are all weaker when we prefer to fly apart
and stronger when we fly more multiculturally deep-enriched,
together.

In our choices of community investment,
when and where do we seek co-empowerment
of the cooperative multicultural purse?
rather than Business As Competing-Racism Usual.

Competing to defend our birthright separated standing
in life’s survivalist-revivalist pecking order,
is a dull monochromatic defensive position
within WinLose gaming positions,
entirely inappropriate for WinWin multiculturing opportunities,
self-other regenerative optimization
for Beloved Health-Wealth Communities.

Its All In the ZeroZen PolyNomials

If facts can be reduced to polynomial information bits
then wisdom might be expanded through polypathic exformation bytes,
double-fractal octave-co-redemptive folding/unfolding
weaving/unweaving stages
of Left-geneticYang with Right-memeticYintegral
co-arising ecopolitically nondual trust
in co-ecologically strictured autonomic-affective
internal climate of health v pathology development.

(0)-sum investments in these biting facts of wisdom,
where we continue healthy-wealthy hunting and finding
no inductive-Right difference of feeling
that could make any possible deductive-Left ecological difference.

CoIntelligent living with others
as we would have others live with us
includes wisely ego-dying with others
as we would have others die as Allies
rather than competing Enemies.

Earth’s interior regenerational bliss
is also Ego’s degeneratively refining mutually cooperative purging
of monoculturing anthro-willfullness
LeftBrain cognitive dissonance
yielding to internalized
polypathic-DNA inspired
nature-spirit exegetically ecological messages
with multicultural-becoming wisdom,
in an of and through and for our Golden Left/Right BuddaAge

Dear KKK

When you’re on top already,
speaking King of the US Mountain,
if you are among the ecopolitical elite
in comparison to those you would remain even more separated from
than is currently the case,
then your separatist position
is also a position to maintain and/or increase your comparative supremacy.

Only if you were a klan of black feminist lesbians and transgenders.
who just want to be left alone,
can you offer a mission statement favoring increased ecopolitical separation
without also taking a position of wanting to sustain or strengthen your comparative absence of supremacy.

Assuming you are still basically white males
under those sheets,
I believe you are mistaken in believing you are for more separation
between the races
and not also for continuing,
and, even better,
increasing your comparative supremacist ecopolitical position
with the help of social niceties like apartheid.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
On the other hand,
perhaps if you could recruit more broadly,
diversify your Klan to include the black feminist lesbians,
and transgenders,
to also begin receiving more than their fair share of this good society’s goods,
then that would certainly help your public image
in the racial-supremacist not-very-Christian
cognitive dissonance department.c

Permaculture Design Operetta

This Permaculture Design Operetta
comes out from within you
with universally acclaimed Grand Patriarchal Earth Rights
to sing in reverse harmonic rhythms and blues
with Full-Octave Matriarchal Earther Feminists Wronged,
marginalized in pre-millennial peace-maker roles
postmillennially re-inheriting the Good Society’s climate health revolution.

This divinely grand operetta
is also our ecological musical-comedy
about permacultural feminist cooperative networks
taking over Goddess Gaia’s Earth Worshipers,
baring buddha-breasts of WinWin PositiveFlow ReGenesis.

Tension builds in the First Act
as the Trump one-term administration is about to lose
to Bernie Sanders,
nominated by the postmillennialist 2020 Global EarthTribe EcoParty,
for more perfect revisions,
ominously networking online through a matriarchal WinWin flow-chart
of ecopolitical feminist psychologists
Permaculture Cooperative Network Designers.

These ultimate cooperators
are something of a socio-economic self-empowering on-line cooperative
where time-is-money gifted forward in a mutually owned (0)-sum economy
of regenerative evolution,
a subgroup within the regenerative evolution of our open-systemic WealthWithoutWalls
ecopolitical communication cooperative,
where who knows whom might say both-and what?

Followed reiteratively by a notnot double-binding reverse-hierarchical binary-fractal-octave 4D EcoConscious
unfolding of TaoTime’s speed of dualdark light
revolutionary equivalence
polypathically reminiscent, somehow,
with P = N(NP) bilaterality,
for ecotherapeutically balanced resonant (0)-soul sums
of humane-ego with divine-eco minbody nondual co-arising bicameral dipolarity.

So, Sander’s 2020 ReVision
will be undermined by wiki feminist cooperative lesbian bodhisattva witches?

Well, more understoried than undermined,
more subversive than reversive,
rooted in matriarchal full-octave circle Allies.
Basically all the other marginalized rejects
from the Obama Administration,
except a lot more transgender polypathic leadership.
You now,
for their bicameral co-empathic skills
with cooperative economics and political guilds,
and barn buildings,
and quilt-making,
and how to raise your own goats.
That kind of thing.

Oh, well,
the tension builds, right?

Yes!
In the Second Act of our transubstantiating diastatic operetta,
we hear a great deal of squabbling about who is more politically correct
by wishing they could have run Sanders against Trump
four years earlier because,
with the first major party nominated woman running instead,
they felt Sander’s more feminist-friendly platform
was more exciting
than actually voting for a white woman
without sharing their idea of a proper feminist ecopolitical agenda
for matriarchal cooperatives
rather than more patriarchal WinLose competitions
between too anemically Yinnish Democrats
and too vastly Yangish Republicans.

Well, yes,
that sounds like a veritable slug fest
in a lusty mud pit.

Oh no, not at all.
These stories all evolve within a more peaceable jungle
of wiki wildness,
if only because of their responsibility for holding open freedom space
across such a diverse polyglot of other marginalized cultures,
recently freed to find each other
and therefore more easily capable of refining their cooperative strategies
due to on-line dialogue and ecopolitical discernment platforms
unfolding both-and WinWin ecological priority sites and chairs and positions
where they could organize all their time
and financially cooperative (0) interest investments
in each bartering other
and their extending EarthTribe intentional matriarchal families.

Meanwhile,
Trump, and his Cabinet of EcoAliens,
was adding anti-EPA fuel to their corporate fires.
Nor did it help that they were rather too toxically
anti-education,
anti-health,
anti-security,
anti-women,
anti-anybody not white-straight-male,
and, of course, anti-Islamic,
and then there was that purity test
where you couldn’t get back into the US
unless you could prove your lineage back toward the Pilgrims,
and not back to the Africans,
and not back to the Native Americans,
and this all felt rather arbitrary to the Supreme Court
and caused four years of nothing but squabbling
about who was going to take over what,
and how soon,
while, meanwhile,
the climate and landscapes of Earth Goddess Worshipers
continued to unravel.

I can barely sit still
in anticipation of your Third Act.
Will Bernie Sanders sing the final aria
of 2020 cooperative ecopolitical revision?
I’m not sure he is quite large enough to carry that tune.

Not by himself,
but remember,
this operetta is of permacultural design,
which is an inclusive self-governance process
toward nutritional health.
For this we need a full-octave gospel choir
not possible without an on-line nutritional performance platform.

OK, so I think I have the basic plot-line.
Now, how about costuming?

Minimalist, of course.

That sounds interesting!
depending on casting, of course.
We wouldn’t want to be confused
by The Emperor Who Wore No Clothes.

Pronoia Happiness Finals

Brezsny in quotes:

“Bestow a blessing on a person you’ve considered to be beneath you
or alien to you.”

Donald, may your future communications involve both deeper listening
and comprehensively ecological learning
about our cooperative potential as individually evolving parents,
and as group, or even international, health administrators,
facilitators of and for highest and best economic security
as an interdependent EarthTribal species.

“Who and what will you pray for as you’re making love?”

What: For this to never end
Who: for whom we are becoming together
in this eternal momentary flow of time’s becoming.

“May you get what you want and still want it”

May you get some polypathic logic you want
enough to ecologically sustain becoming at home within it.

“When the spell is broken,
you will be able to tap into resources you’ve been cut off from.
When the spell is broken,
you will finally notice the big, beautiful secrets
that have been lying in plain sight.
What is that spell?
Can you break it yourself?”

This spelling problem of replacing ‘live’ with ‘evil’,
echoes egocentric fear
anger
paranoid fantasies about death as loss of regenerative potential for Earth,
without equivalent gain.

This would be a violation of the first Golden Rule of Cooperative Synergetic Open Systemic Thermodynamics:
If Ego’s +1-Up = EcoLogic’s notnot in (0)-fractal squared potential,
then RightBrain’s notnot Empty (0)
will always regenerate further +1 Interdependent
Universal
BiLateral ConVexing Systemic Formations.

“Eckhart Tolle says this: ‘The most powerful starting point for any endeavor is not the question What do I want?, but What does Life (God, Consciousness, [time’s ecological regenerativity]) want [invite] from me?
How do I serve the whole?'”

More cooperatively organic planning and inclusive multicultural design,
with less cognitive-affective dissonant outcomes
due to irrational loss and suffering.

“What is the one feeling you want to feel more than any other
in the next three years?”

Abundant bliss-flow of buddha-logic, CoRedeemer-logic, Tao-logic, EcoLogical ReGenerative Time of Earth’s Becoming CoOperatively Invested Balance.

“Give examples to illustrate the differences between dumb, trivial pleasure
and smart, life-exalting pleasure.”

Hypnotizing passive entertainments v WinWin cooperative play and performance exchanges. Less dramatic relief held by others; more group sing alongs.

“Arguments with God is the only organization on the planet that specializes in the art of debating with the Creator. Our trained Prayer Warriors are standing by, ready to deliver the protests and complaints that you want to convey…. Write your first draft here.”

Hey! White Patriarchal God!
Why not come out of your transgenderal people of all Earth colors
Matriarchal Goddess Closet?

“A dissident wing of the Beauty and Truth Lab (the “Uproaries”) defines happiness as
‘the state of mind that results from cultivating interesting, useful problems.’
See if you can make that definition work for you.”

Most Captivating Capital Problem: How to persuade ecopolitically empowered leaders,
including media administrators,
to invest LeftBrain dominance, premillennial,
inviting Right/Left
Matriarchy/Patriarchy equivalence,
as Yin cooperative power-with others inside is to Yangcompetitive power-over others outside,
when TaoTime balances co-arising investments as
PolyNomial Power of Communication = NotNot PolyPathic Flow of Imagination.

“‘I can’t exactly walk on the water,’ says Russ Crim, ‘but it looks like I can because I know where the rocks are hiding
just beneath the surface of the water.’
Translate this approach into a charismatic trick that you will perform.

Together, we take a second, redemptive, reweaving look
at opportunities,
to deep learn how to predict how they also include appositional risks
of over-investment,
where we have ecologically under-invested in potential nutritional abundance.
Aim for midway wu-wei accuracy with uncovering and unfolding Tipping Points of geo-, bio-, and ecosystemic regeneration of time-in-nutritional-balance ourselves.

“Do something that you will remember with pride and passion until the end of your days. Report your results here.”

Successfully defending, even cooperatively singing and dancing, the writing of my/our PhD dissertation in Political Philosophy,
entitled Our PermaCulture Designers’ Opera,
written in libretto.

“Tell about the moment you finally realized who exactly you are–
or imagine the time you’ll do so in the future.”

In this eternal moment
I am transubstantiating this transgenderal manifestation
of time’s enculturing ecological regenesis;
so my budda-sattvaness is also our eco-sattva,
now in a bit of an ecopolitical mess.

“‘Each person is a story that the Soul of the World wants to tell to itself,’
says Michael Meade.
What does the Soul of the World want to say through you?”

We are our multiculturally ecological developing world,
cooperating at and into our best Golden Rule outcome performances
within a Permaculture Designing Opera
of collective pro-creation nutritional stories,
where deeper is also richer and more erotic/agapic yummy.

Evolution is about the WinWin regeneration of Earth;
not a theory of relativistic survival and denial and repression
of those best able to struggle against stressed-out
egocentric WinLose organic devolution.
