My Friend the Wise Doctor

Eu-e,
Eu-e-e,

Bucky Fuller Big Bang.

Bucky Fuller Big Brain

My Friend Bucky Fuller
came down to me today.
He said,
“Lao-tse’s Time
grows not-not binomial
radiates fore
and gravitates aft
Time and Space
Convex and Concave!”

My Friend Rumi Gloomy
said to me today,
“When you are perpetually yearning
and constantly searching for Spirit,
you will, in time, conquer all obstacles.”

Lao-tse responded,
“When you are perpetually yearning
and contentedly searching for Nature,
you will, in time,
conquer all unnaturally dissonant
and unbalanced issues,
suffering bicameral cognitive irrationality.”

My Friend Bucky Lao-tse,
enjoyed laughing to himself
about the racey quality of Time:

When the highest type of Nature hears Time,
Becoming evolves in confluence with it,
When mediocre Nature hears Time,
Being grows coincidentally aware and yet unaware of Becoming Time.
When bipolar Lose-Losers hear Time,
Decomposition breaks through double-negative ecological ambivalence–
If Time were not bi-humorously coincidental,
it could not revolve self-inevitably
with coincidental biometric
binary Time-linear strings of Languaged Permaculture.

Therefore we re-establish logos:
“Who understands Time seems dull of comprehending
Yang OVER Yin-Yin Balance;
Who is wiser with Time will seem to slip
while refining Tipping Point
wu-wei discernment, and dia-metrics
and bio-metrics as geo-metric primal;
Who redeems Time seems to travel
forward and backward across bi-linear
(0) Core Information Metric Webs
and Reverse-Hierarchical
Trees of Life.

Superior character appears like a hollow
Negative Yin function as
Sheer white appears bleached;
Great logic and justice appear insufficient
with (-),( );
Fractal RNA linear function appears (-),(-)
double-bound ambiguity entropic
full-Yinned;
Pure value appears like decompositional double-Yin-Yin.
Great space has no absence of Concave Yang;
Great virtue takes long to mature;
Yang Full-Left deductive,
swinging transmillennially revolutioning
back toward future Yang/Yin L/R Bicameral
Balancing Wisdom.

Great octave harmony can be faintly heard
when subtly, implicately played Win-Win ecologically;
Self-Optimizing and Sustaining Form has no contour;
because optimized diametric function
emerges fully contoured fractal
and dimensional as 4-Prime Linear;
And Time hides within a +Polynomial
dimensional name.
It is this Time that is adept at lending
both midway power and economic value
toward becoming primal fulfillment.

New elliptical rings of energy
evolve from inside out,
so inside fractal Bosonic ring of time
emerges square root fractally,
Zero-Core Strictured
staged
unfolding
revolving.
Time can only push out concave,
4-dimensionally and seasonally smooth-structured,
coincident past with future rings of octave function.
Each prime ringing Eulerian function,
predicts and predicates,
enthymematically implicates
a dia-cycle earlier,
whether that be a moment
or a year,
or a day,
or some transactional prime relationship
objectively and naturally economized
in between;
Time’s prior seasonal “moment”
of bio-metrically calculable DNA-encoded time.

My friend the Wise Doctor
told me what to say,
Bucky said,
Time’s dimension emerges coincidentally,
both subjectively shy of consciousness
as virginal fertility,
objectively ecological potential information,
rationally and primally bilinear,
with (+) radiating
in forward-Yang perspective,
while (-),(-) bi-linearly mutually decomposes,
Bohm’s implicating reverse-temporal order,
and recomposes within each moment of spacetime,
as +/(-)0 = c-squared = Eulerian prime function
= Positive Polynomial binary information
= (-),(-)Polynomial bio-normic regenerative
double-elliptical smooth-structured
PositiveVector-Yang OVER NegativeVortex-Yin-Yin,
Constant Temporal Tao Twoness,
with square root of +/(-) Prime Fractal.

Please confirm this hypothetical as True,
that Hydrogen’s “1”
is also a fractally balanced
4-dimensional torus-shaping
dynamic of temporal self-perpetuating
Bosonic composite of Elements
117+118+119+120,
just as RNA is composed
Midway balancing U+C+A+G.

In this way,
perhaps,
we might bring our Universal Atomic-ionic
and Thermodynamic-ergodic theories
of bi-linear Time with 3-dimensional Space
into a
c-squared + c-squared + c-squared
trinitarian synergy of equivalence to
Mass-cubed,
and P = NP as +1/(-),(-)0binary Tao
Balancing this Tree of Life’s Uniting Wisdom Time.

Ecological Language strings our Win-Win Gaming
teleological strategy and song,

and Zero-Soul bicameral Theorem
using bio-metric DNA double-smooth structured

with Permaculture Design’s RNA-rooted

All this, running on

License to Contract Co-Intelligent Life

Partnerships contract primal economic,

ecojustice solidarity mentors relationship-building.

Marriage contracts regenerate deep ecological sacred rite,
a liturgy of procreative mutual polarity and parity
bi-naturally systemic.
Iconic of nature’s quintessential binomiality,
bi-normiality,
bionically balanced as dipolar “tension” or intention
and daily life-recommitted liturgical practice

Ecology includes biological systems,
but also binomial self-regeneratively organized information systems,

organisms,
paradigms,
language,
and natural systemic Yang/Yin balance
and root-systemic nutritional flow functions.

Ecotherapeutic contracts evolve best
composted equal partners
of Wisdom’s gravity frequency patterns

Redemption’s Razor Edge

Who is this would-be Redeemer
stalking my own mirror?
Whether for good or evil
I remain steadfastly ambivalent.

Riding Time’s unfolding edge,
glancing forward for faith in better
stronger
surer lasting light
glancing backward darkens optimistic hope
to change what I cannot,
to fulfill commitments to grow together
as I might
were I not so all-encompassing alone.
Universe of Presence much too vast for home.

Even so, the present makes a safer home
than future’s pregnant womb
or past’s sterile tomb,
drawing these two faces together
in stigmatic messiah wound,
breathing in and out,
stifling each victorious shout
“Not yet!…not yet….again
my time unwilling to climax
without our Time Beloved.

Faith in fated freedom
struggles with choosing birth as death
to what might have been,
contents with choosing life
as if chosen through cosmic coincidence
of karmic evolution.

Redeemer hearts and minds
perpetually ride anguish surf of paradise.

Justice Therapy

There is good sense in all people born equal.

We have equal rights to live,
to breathe,
to sustain our bodies and our families
with sufficient nutrients,
to speak and sound and show and live our truth with integrity
of cooperative purpose.

Yet, in each of these senses of equivalent rights,
it is ethically insufficient to notice
that all human nature has these equivalencies
because all living intelligent natures
share these global rights of ecojustice.

All EarthTribe ecotherapeutically shares our right
to breathe clean air,
to absorb clean water,
to consume healthy organic compost,
to sustain our incarnate being with sufficient nutrients
of sensory absorption,
including gravity,
positive eco-biometric
electromagnetic
thermodynamic function and flow capacity,
to optimally improve our quality of well-being
for all endosymbiotic evolution of all EarthTribe,
a cooperative,
networked confederacy of tribes,
organic cellular functions of any nature,
YangDeductive/Concave with YinInductiveConvex,
self-organizing bionic information systems;
Also known as RNA and, more recently,
fractally-octaved functional bi-elliptical DNA.

All EarthTribe enjoys equal rights,
responsibilities,
authorities,
inductively informed intelligence,
to optimally and continuously sustain health,
ecotherapeutic quality,
and just relationships of mutual gratitude.

A somewhat more critical negative corollary:
I do not believe it could be ethical
to commodify,
own,
enslave,
natural resources.
Ownership contracts with human nature subjects
acting out on natural systemic objects,
can be rethought as mutual stewardship praxis
with symbiotically benign faith,
including ecotherapeutic ecojustice,
ecological orthopraxis of quality improvement
within a mutually subsidiary relationship
of synergetic solidarity.

Human nature seems Natural Systemic-Earth indentured servitude.
Earth’s investment in bionic information quality improvement
prefaces human nature’s globally redemptive shared vocation,
each and all within our redeemer species,
can only unfold/evolve with optimum environmental care
through a Win-Win economic
ecotherapeutic Gaming Teleology.

Rumi Fuller-ionic Future

Your true self is intelligence

and the rest of you, only appearance,

don’t lose sight of your true self,

don’t waste your time chasing trivial

yet unobtainable goals.

Rumi (M Mafi, trans)

 

Physical is always special case.

Energy is physical

and always special case.

Information is always special case.

Energy is information:

information is energy.

Special case is always realized

by its energetic information.

Dimension is unique frequency information.

Time incrementation is special case information.

Concept is general:

information is quantitative

(special case).

Buckminster Fuller, 1979, 1075.12, p. 446.

 

No one of us

and all of us together,

believe in optimal intelligence, information, integrity within

ourselves,

our families,

our Earth,

our God,

with coincidental absence of any intelligence,

information,

integrity,

wisdom,

power,

presence among, without,

in Special Case Physical Universe.

 

Warnings Against the Use of Force

predict Warnings Advocating the Use of Tao-Balance

as Active Peace Natural Special Case Information

Natural Systemic Integrity

Energy Ionic and Ergodic Balancing Intelligence.

 

Those investing Tao teleology to help deploy power

within Earth’s Tribes and Trees,

Oppose conquest by force of arms,

oppose violence as over-reactive conquest to control behavior,

generate sustainable compliance.

For violence is wont to rebound.

Where competitors organize, thorns and brambles,

chaotic entropic evils and sins grow their hubris-decadent flowers.

The raising of a great Win-Lose Gaming Strategy

Yin follows with a karmic balance of overly-satiated dearth,

depressing, oppressing, suppressing living dying,

not fully alive Special Case.

 

Therefore Wisdom, Intelligence, Information, Integrity

effect their harmonic eco-logical purpose,

then stop with Midway Balance.

Special Case Logicians dare not react with power-over arms;

Integrity effects synergetic meaning,

and does not over-knot EcoUnity;

Intelligence effects spacetime binomially general-Commons relationship,

negentropically prime balance as universally implied by double-negative,

by avoiding too labyrinthine esoterics,

mid-metamorphic polypathicism;

Information effects positive meaning

and bows humbly toward double-binding negentropic Yin

double-negative original intents and coincidental purposes.

 

Special Case Wisdom affects, effects,

causes, infects regrettably responsive defense,

without remainder.

End of sentence.

Followed by fore-givenness, forebearance,

reconcilitation, regeneration of prime confluent relationship

of active peace.

 

Eco-logic grows eco-centered ecojustice naturally cooperative systems,

so cannot love violence.

For Special Case Integrated Organic Systems age

age when over-extended past Primal (0) Tao Balance.

 

Egocentric EcoPOLYPATHOLOGY deductively-evolves

backward in time toward proactive competitive Win-Lose conquest;

the absolute spectral opposite of non-violent Win-Win orthopraxis,

where “Win” remains constant across each binomial appositional

logically-balancing position.

EcoPathology evolves violently against Special Case Information

Zero-Centric Taoism.

 

EcoPathologists mentor short-lived evolutionary strings

of dysfunctionally negative competitively hoarding

Left-brain dominant behavior.

 

If Universal Intelligent Intent is not yet commonplace understanding,

then our cooperative ecotherapeutic practice

cannot yet result in a sustained Beloved Special Case

Physical Universe.

Our lack of Universal Integrity and Wisdom practice

is our most efficient, tough-love, Teacher

of bicameral Right-Left hemispheric balanced Information Systems.

 

Short-sightedness,

small-mindedness,

poorly-sited natural resources,

reverse-recited ecologic,

evolving backward toward spring,

then winter’s advent forward

from root toward branch

toward flowering seed

toward prime rootedness again;

discarding pretensions of ego and eco

as not eternally evolving MIDWAY interdependent Integrity,

TrimTab Tipping-Pointed Wu-Wei

Win-Win Tao’s Group (0)-soul Theorem.

 

Prehensile pain and dissonant loss and blindness

cause short-sighted,

all too frequently recited, rehearsed, retold

repeated suffering mini-death crying for new birth.

 

Wrestling against God,

abundantly yields great polypathic exercise,

but misses opportunities to wrestle with God,

to wrestle with wisdom within ourselves,

to wrestle with each Other,

with cooperative eco-centric Win-Win Original Intent,

to wrestle with God of Universal Wisdom.

 

Only violent assumptions wrestle against,

while double-negative balancing cooperative

ecosystemic assumptions wrestle with

commonly-held distortions,

side-by-side global EarthTribe solidarity,

each challenge shared toward Future’s

self-regenerative polyculturally dynamic information.

 

Physical Universal Wisdom

wrestling with dissonant frequencies

revolving contortions,

resolving contentions,

eco-justicing ecotherapy optimally responsible balance

and harmonic octave functions and frequencies

with prime-fractal forms of time and memory encoded

bi-nucleic acids.

 

Transitionally Shifting Regeneration

toward active-peaceful contentment,

a more democratically accessible absence of irrational confusion,

less suffering short-fall well-being outcomes of Universal Intelligence

–Just the Right amount of reconnected pain and ego-loss

for neither Right nor Left of (0) Tao Center

regenerative eco-redemptive birth of EarthTribe

comprehensive multisystemic bi-consciousness.

 

Physical is always special case.

Energy is physical

and always special case.

Information is always special case.

Physical energy is special case information:

disinformation is Not-Polynomial energy, and information.

Special case is always realized

by its energetic information.

Special case is always bicamerally realized

by its bi-energetic temporal-prime birth-through dying rebirth

ergodic, bionic, synergetic, negentropic energy.

Dimension is unique temporal-linear core (0) frequency information.

Time incrementation is special case information

and reverse-temporal unfolding decremental formation bi-functional.

Inductive concept is general with ecotherapeutically qualitative

Right-brain Yin-internal value:

information is quantitative-Yang Positive Polynomial

(special case).

 

Our well-discerned inclusive EarthTribe Truth is Wisdom

and the rest of anthro-centric Us, only appearance of human deducted nature,

not quite so much Special Optimized Case as we would all prefer.

Don’t lose sight of our Universal Permacultural Truth,

don’t waste time hunting trivial egocentric dissonance

with unsustainable sub-optimizing Win-Lose outcomes.

 

While this piece sites my intended conversation with Rumi and Buckminster Fuller, the majority of its structure borrows heavily from Laotse’s “Warning Against the Use of Force”, p. 166, Modern Library, Wisdom of Laotse, Lin Yutang, ed., 1948.

Dark Bright Light

Pain, loss, dissonance, decay,
pessimistic enculturing survivor’s under-heroic story
within the wilder winnings of optimistic history,

May ecologically coincide with interactive hope,
mutually-held faith already logosed at hand,
that peace with justice optimally encourage Win-Winners
through incarnation’s incubating life.

What have our children become
that we stand by to watch them
burn and bury their own still alive screaming
self-shredding skin within?

What have we become
that commerce does not even pause,
no unholy moment of awed silence,
no sensed horrific wonder.

Violent climatic voices continue charring,
keyboards continue clacking,
parents continue screaming,
corporate bells still ring out
competitive logistic assumptions,
industrious rhythms,
streaming cultural strings of power
without sufficient wisdom to Midway stop;
Yang with Yin in balance,
Positive with Not-Negative In-Formating imbalance.

Silent full breaths of boiling sorrow,
crucifying, purging innocent redeemers
with dying life awareness.

Blind aching deaths of anguish,
hoarding self-hatred,
radiating raging hate,
clutching competition to live,
too dissonant to bear,
too desperate to hear,
too cooperative with coincidental death.

What goes down dark, must rise up bright.

On Stealing the Light
to redeem our dark night.

A good runner leaves no track.
A completely cooperative relay race
leaves no marginal boundary remainders to trace.

A good speech leaves no flaws for attack.
An inclusively well-written position
leaves no constituent out for later opposition.

A good reckoner makes use of no counters.
A good logician makes use of no commodifiers.

A well-shut door makes use of no bolts,
And yet cannot be opened.
A well-being platform makes use of no bolts from eco-logic,
and yet can predictably rotate,
revolve revolution toward Universe as Open Systemic Relational Balance.

A well-tied knot makes use of no rope,
And yet cannot be untied.
A well-tied not makes use of no polynomial information string,
and yet cannot not be not rationally double-tied.

Therefore Wisdom is good at helping human nature
For reason does not reject nature.
Wisdom self-optimizes by redeeming things;
For that reason abused landfill substances evaporate,
with no one and no thing rejected.
–This is called regenerative enlightenment.

Therefore, the good is the Teacher of the bad,
And the bad is Mentor with double-negative good.

Competitors who do not value Teacher Nature
Nor love the mentoring optimetric prime function
Wander a pro-chaotic pay-off toward long-term entropy,
Though deductive-only learned Left-brain dominant
–Such is Right’s Yintuitive double-knotted secret bright.

Mutual EcoTherapists bid global good dream nights.

Note:

This piece is inspired by, and concludes with a responsive transposition of, Laotse’s “On Stealing the Light,”, pp. 156-7, Wisdom of Laotse, Modern Library, 1948, Lin Yutang, ed. I wonder aloud, both here and elsewhere, if early shamanic wisdom made no Post-Industrial Era distinction between human economic natural systemic positive intent and ecological nature’s systemic positive practice, as they observed the cooperative infrastructure of Sun’s fertile rays upon Earth’s photosynthetically-coincident-synergetic farming skin.

Welcoming Womb

Hello!
Hello in there?
Can you feel me yet?…

Welcome to the United States of America!

The U-nited States began as an incubation site
for ecosystemic freedom and justice,
although our elders were a bit ahead of
non-violent communication therapy,
well-being community therapy,
so we have run into some long-term cultural problems
with linking up our justice walk with our peace talk.

You have chosen to seed in what was our global hope
for incubating ecological economics.
I so hope you develop neither surprised nor disappointed
in the U.S. rebranding project,
now providing global laundry and enculturation services
for other would-be sub-optimizers
perpetually fascinated,
and disheartedly entertained,
with ego-centric adolescence.

This U-benighted States of perpetual anthropocentric greed
and monolithic hubris,
now aspires to become Earth’s monopolistic
Monocultural Laundry Service,
divesting of polycultural natural enrichment
to thoroughly thrash the exciting high risk market
in anthro-centric entitlements.

If you thought you had landed
within smooth warm womb
of old school Zero-Sum
Win-Win Skin
in a Permacultural Game Theory
of regenerative life…
well,
good luck being born a polycultural alien
in this Oppositional Disordered political and racing economic culture,
this DisUniting whitewashed policing State,
out to save the globe with arms of might
now that we have proven
how great we are with shooting down each other,
in our homes and on our streets.

Welcome, baby,
it’s a not-so-brave old world
in our UBeNighted State.

Positive EcoTherapeutic Outcomes: Cost Analysis

My long-winding EcoTherapist began:

Dialectic Behavioral Therapy sees Stimulus/Response
both forward and backward in time,
to look for thoughts and feeling tipping points
toward more harmonic confluence,
resonant and requisite proportional behaviors
and imaginings
of what may be justly and non-violently discerned
for future reference.

Meanwhile,
Compassion Therapy looks within these same S/R behavioral events,
reconnecting “SuperEgo” role as eco-logical teacher,
to evolve and mentor our mutual invite,
to respond with equivalent compassion,
react with mindfulness of Ego’s holonic
and mutual
and ubiquitously coincidental Prime Relationship
with EcoTao-centered Reason, Intent, Wisdom,
word choice,
feeling,
optimally receiving LeftBrain’s Natural Law deducted principles
of Right-At-Home compassionate ecotherapeutic orthopraxis.

Between collective manically competitive hysteria
and suicidal absorption toward depressive self-intent
Lies Tao’s Wisdom Midway,
bicamerally balancing between
schizophrenic bipolar self-absorption
into the godhead of Universal Intelligence,
and paranoid messages from Evil
that “Ego” is at grave risk
of both short- and long-term economic
and bi-0-logical extinction.

Between these way-too-polypathic extremes
lies polyculturing compassion
for human natural systems
both within–YangEgo,
and without–YinEco.

Fair trade cost for ecotherapeutic outcomes
is the ecojustice we redemptively invest
give-forward, fore-give
within ourselves,
each Other,
and Solar Systemic Earth’s regenerate destiny,
as teacher,
mutual listener,
and Beloved.

Hunting Sacred Nature’s Compost

Love murmurs in my ear that to be hunted
is infinitely more enviable than to be the hunter.
Rumi (M. Mafi, trans.)

SuperEco’s Passion
hunts Tao-Love
through all the wrong places,
evolving polyculturing Earth spaces.

SuperGod, as in SuperEco,
a universally intended icon
globally hunting self-organizing Ego-integrity,
searching synergy of polypathic paradigms,
surfing energy of poly-enculturing systems, rhythms, patterns,
Prime Function Relationship,
emerging toward diastatic
Co-In-Formation
Co-In-telligent grace and gravity.

SuperEco’s troubling omnipotence is not all Hunter power over
events and others and my wrestling Ego-Self,
not all capacity this suffering/struggling Ego is free to imagine and hope for.
EcoGod is all power of synergetic integrity,
of active-peacefilling love,
currently incarnated within this spacetime we share,
we enculture together,
in this HereNow moment.

Our EarthTribe polycultural omnipotence
comprehensively evolves EcoGod’s Passion,
optimally inclusive,
bicamerally mindful,
co-intelligent,
mutually gravitational peace, confluent natural function,
both active YangHunter
and Yin flexibly Ego-purging,
nutrient-absorbed,
dying-haunted,
optimally,
ultimately Self-identified as Hunted Beloved Community.

This quality of hunting time
becomes our value for self-incarnation.
The value of Ego-carnation
is the value of bionically natural elements,
temporally balanced, patient, HereNow functions,
systems design and development comprehensively
comprehended, co-prehensile.

Each natural binomial identity, system, set, organism
has a regenerative potentiated value
which emerges toward form and stability,
a solid-fluid, not calcified-static,
dynamic-dimensional-functional rhythmic
constellation of ongoing network relationships,
as these are permaculturally designed and developed
for sustainable spacetime balance.

SuperEco is an exegetical
ecological
analogical
logical-communal cooperatively synergetic
perennial economy,
with polycultural intent and self-optimizing orthopraxis,
multisystemic EcoTherapy,
for universally generic race toward
Omega Tipping Point of Tao-Balance.

To hunt land and property
is to engage Earth,
offering our bodies as Her parasitically indenturing servants,
preparing to redeem Her investments in our cooperative,
mutual needs and wants.
To hunt time is to redeem life,
to recognize ourselves living within borrowed investments
of our Elders.
Time’s hunted value derives from its unanchored-Yang
and dual-destined-Yin bipolar powers within Ego-mortality/rebirth cycles.

Dying Hunted Egos are free to absorb into SuperEco’s harmony,
to karmically embrace-evolve ecto-symbiotic
exegetically Orthodox science and religion of
Universal Synergy,
Co-Intelligent In-FormTribal,
passionately interdependent SuperHunter,
inclusive of all binomial IdEntities.

Laotse’s Dregs and Tumors of Virtue
camouflage Medicines and Rumors of Value.

He who stands on tiptoe does not stand firm;
She who stands bicamerally balanced emerges optimally sustained.
He who strains his strides does not walk well;
She who peacefully hunts within HereNow comprehension races forward.
He who reveals himself is not luminous;
She who reveals Us is luminous.
He who justifies himself is not far-famed;
She who redeems Us is far-famed.
He who boasts of himself is not given credit;
She who empowers Us is given regenerative value.
He who prides himself is not chief among men;
She who hunts Us is chief Hunter.
These in the eyes of Tao
Are called “the dregs and tumors of Virtue,”
Are called “the medicine and balance of normative Value.
Which are things of disgust, disease, and light, enlightenment.
Therefore the Tao Hunter spurns one,
to absorb our HuntingEcoOther.

 

Note: This piece culminates with “The Drags and Tumors of Virtue,” p. 141, Modern Library, The Wisdom of Laotse, translated and edited by Lin Yutang. However, I have used Laotse’s line responsively with my own counterpoint dialectic, so each alternate line is my own; no shame on Lin Yutang or Laotse’s game intended or even implied.
