Attachments and Aversions

I wonder if
what Buddhist classic meditation teachings
refer to as “attachments”
and “aversions,”
a Western medical doctor
might label with different words,
such as addiction
and dissociative diversions.

In both frames
negative illusions may be recognized
and appreciated
as deep opportunities to learn;

Negative delusions are not accurately cognized
and are depreciated
as too risky
not to repress
and hide
from any therapeutic
transporting
transparent (not self-shaming)
and vulnerable (not self-blaming)
communication
with our contemplative EgoTherapist within
and our medical-model EcoTherapists without.

Positive illusions,
attachments and/or addictions,
may be accurately cognized
as sensory attractions,

Whether smells and/or tastes,
touch and/or feelings,
sight and/or sound,
eco-reception and/or mind/body communication,
exterior and/or interior,

May have potential
to therapeutically transport
away from addiction
and toward less ego-obsessive attraction,
and away from self-serving,
potentially predative, attractions
to positive sensory pleasure,
cooperatively intended
hoped
faithed
loved,
eco-politically
and personally
and bilaterally
and bicamerally healthy wealth
of becoming completely satisfied
sufficient
simple
centered in HereLeftYangSpace/NowRightYinternalTime
and in past sensory satisfying memories
and in future images
imagination of pleasures
climatically encompassing
all of the above.

Addiction to cooperative multicultural
multigenerational
regenerational
and bicameral
bilateral peak sensory experiences
could be a healthier opportunity
than addictions to competitive ego-monoculturing
and mono-atheistic
and autonomous predator/prey
sensory risk ambivalence

Where things don’t necessarily smell
or taste inviting,
don’t necessarily feel grateful to touch
or feel inside my mindbody,
don’t necessarily transcendently transport
when compromised win/lose beauty seen
and ambiguously uninviting truth heard,
falling short of healthy co-addiction
to Earth’s vast multicolored wealth
of sensory ultra-nonviolent
compassionate
EarthTribe Yintegrity.

Audacity of Green Democracy

Are you,
or have you ever been,
a Trumpist?

Asks the Restorative Justice Committee
inviting an open discussion
with Christian evangelicals
about their new green global loyalties

And how this anticipation
of restoring justice
through green/blue climates
and unred-undominating cultures of peace
has been influenced,
or not,
by EarthPatriotic repentance.

In hindsight,
said a representative
of the StraightWhiteMale Clergy Association,
I first began reflecting on,

“Who is my social capital competitiveness
willing to sacrifice,
to actively or passively bully,
shun,
ignore,
disempower,
leave behind as a ‘loser’
so I could more clearly emerge
among my monoculturing peers
as an orthodox redmeat ‘winner’
a God of Retributive Justice emulator,
judge,
blamer and shamer,
violent miscommunicator,
win/lose evolutionist
of a discontinuously transcendent
slowly degenerating undivine EarthView.

Willing to sacrifice
and capitalistically bully Earth Her sacred Self,
in my shunned silent closet
focusing on a rapturous Heavenly climax
after the straight white Father’s great self-righteous
rapacious red rage.

Which is something rather punishingly different
and anxiety reproducing
as compared to anticipating
a green EarthBound Rapture
catalyzed by healthy democratic empowering
and cooperatively enlightening restoration
of ego/eco-therapeutic EarthJustice.

What, of your own potential integrity,
internal multicultural interests
and faith-filled curiosities,
is your current internal monocultural win/lose efficiency
for hoarding currencies of social success markers,
such as “annual six figure income”?

I’m not sure I understand your question.
Is our household income over $100,000?
Am I a faithful federal military-industrialized taxpayer?
Yes, of course.

What and whom are you willing to leave behind?

How do your faith communities shut out awareness
of other green restorative currencies for success,
such as integrity,
multicultural, multigenerational neighborhood social synergy,
win/win commitments to inclusive consciousness,
to transparent authenticity,
to vulnerability
willing to risk personal honesty
about closeted red deviancy,
feelings of undemocratic evangelical supremacy?

I’m hoping those are rhetorical questions?

Oh ye of little green faith
inadequate to anticipate opportunity
to more deeply learn
who we are becoming
as an interfaith multicultural health wealthy family,
a global neighborhood communion,
a diverse mutually absorbing ultra-nonviolet community
free of dreaming up more red fear
and blue/green free for transparent cooperative curiosity
and win/win co-empowerment
and holistic open systemic co-enlightenment.

Now who’s bullying
and overpowering
and not effectively communicating
so much as competitively evangelizing?

Who and what do your religious dogmas
exclude from grace
that your spiritual and natural cultural interests,
your attractions and anxieties
would include as stretch goals
for better health communication
which includes respectful listening more
and disrespectful preaching less?

If you wouldn’t mind,
could we turn your question around?
How are eco-political you,
and how have we forever audaciously become,
MultiCultural Therapeutic Communicators?

Openness

“Energy fields extend to infinity.
Consequently they are open–
not a little bit open,
not sometimes open,
but continuously open.
The long-established view of the universe as an entropic,
closed system is rapidly losing ground.
Proposals that living systems were open systems
led Von Bertalanffy to postulate
that living systems manifested negative entropy.
Evidence has continued to accumulate in support of a universe
of open systems.
The closed-system model of the universe
is contradicted
and obsolescence of such concepts as steady-state,
adaptation,
equilibrium and the like
is made explicit.”
Martha Rogers, p 227, in “Martha E. Rogers: Her Life and Her Work, edited by Violet M. Malinski and Elizabeth Ann Manhart Barrett

Power fields
and WorldView frames
extend associations
to omnipresent
sacred,
multigenerational,
matriarchally continuous lifelines
of humane organic infinity.

Consequently,
these frames are spiritually
multiculturally
metaphysically open
NonZero Sum
irrational RightHemisphere artistically
aesthetically full-spectral,

Not a little bit holistic and open,
not just discontinuously patriarchal
evolving one isolated ego-lifetime open,
but omnipotently
continuously
divinely cooperative,
regenerative green/blue globally,
empowering,
healthy-wealthy open.

The long leftbrain-establishment view
of Green/Blue Living but Static
2-dimensional EarthMap
as an entropic,
closed energy field system
is ecologically
rapidly losing 20/20
enclosed balance yet open,
inhaling yet exhaling,
grasping yet distracting
sensory bilateral co-arising ground.

Proposals that living systems
are also open sacred metaphysical systems
led Von Bertalanffy
to bicamerally postulate
this Principle of Taoist Green Reversion,
away from too much Red,
so that healthy living EarthTribe systems
manifest not negative Green syntropy,

In some mystical metaphorical health-wealth way,
dark red unsafe
neurological secularized death
is in continuous appositional
bicameral psychological relationship
with green empowered sacred healthy life

Spiraling Ultra-NonViolet revolutionary evidence
has continued to win/win accumulate
in support of a revolving green/blue healthy Earth
of bilateral space/time
open communing systems.

The closed orthodox fundamentalist
capital/patriarchal rationalist
desecrating
sacrilegious
morally contentious
and retributively judicious
mapping and entrapping model

Of this health/wealthing EarthView
is ecologically/theologically
robustly predicted,

Our green/blue experience
of reverse
reweaving open
re-cooperative
re-storative
redemptive win/win concepts
such as
not always win/lose

not necessarily win/lose political power

against cooperative co-acclimation,

Re-turning divine/humane unchanging climate equilibrium
to not inhumane
green-blue restoring peace
as Earth Justice
open multiculturing noncrimes
of healthy democratic passion.

To LeftBrain explicitly green/blue life
openly reiterating

The closed leftbrain dominant
capitalistic win/lose
and patriarchal v matriarchal

is Left/Right neurobiologically contradicted
and ecological/theological obsolescence
of such leftbrain straight white male privileged

and the metaphysical closed in unintellectual life

Grasping Distractions

Maybe it’s just me.
So, I’m asking,
as focused, yet open
as I could ever hope to be,

Do negative correlations
between inhaling
and exhaling
Earth’s sensory WorldView
resemble, for you,
too,
a reverse correlation,
dipolar co-arising
appositional contrast,
in-between grasping on
and distracting off?

I am not sure why
this question could be economically
or politically
or psychologically
or neurobiologically significant

In this time of great polarized
climate EarthHealth and Safety crisis,
and yet,
it persistently seems so
as I attempt,
in my EarthView solitude,
to exhale and detract from
left hemisphere verbal
monopolizing
demanding dominance

To inhale and grasp toward
more right hemisphere nonverbal
nonviolent communing
climate therapeutic
in-between re-association
re-syncing thought and feeling
re-communing secular and sacred
re-ligioning

Green
and blue
and red
ultra-violet reweaving
Earth’s climate health
grasping fresh inhalations
and distracting patriarchal stale capitalism’s
white male privileged
pompous hortatorical reiterations
of Fight Makes Godless Right

Grasping or distracting reactionary
nonresponsiveness
to our secular
and sacred longings
for EarthHealth
and DemocraticSafety
non-oppositional points of WorldView.

Power Analysis

Power analysis
traditionally follows investment
and divestment of money.

Which is all fine and good,
but, as I recall,
the truth of sustainable power trends
has more to do with the healthy beauty
and the unhealthy ugliness
of where we choose to start our redemption narrative
and where we choose to end

Our historical revolving global dance,
green/blue health regenerative
holistic EarthTribe life.

Healthiest Wealth of Loyalty

We each and all have, I suspect,
a universal rightbrain multicultural awareness
that patriotism
risks degenerating into leftbrain fascism,

Isolating nationalism
self-righteously defending militaristic supremacy
and patriarchal privilege of an apartheid State
moving toward fear-mongered isolationism
supporting competitively debating
predative politicization
of capitalism

Rather than recognizing ourselves
as nations resting and wrestling
and co-investing
on interdependent continents
articulating green/blue loyalty to Earth
and no less nation
or solitary incontinence.

By This GoodYear

By this GoodYear,
invest in this Good 20/20 eco-political Year,

Buy for yourself,
cash in advance powerful traction!

Buy for your kids
with balding tires
and scratchy heads!

Buy for your friends
for future skid-free insurance
protecting from washed out futures!

Store them in your garage
your kids’ sheds
your neighbor’s extra bed

Wheels to co-empowerment,
even, and oddly, those
you may not need
for yet another green climate decade.

Light speed
is to power
as green enlightenment
is to 2020 empowerment.

Brown Spotted Cancers

Cancerous capitalism
predative patriarchalism,
insists on runaway win/lose competitions
against EarthMother’s resilient health
and matriarchally resonant wealth

To fearlessly look
into mirrored medicine cabinets
noticing untherapeutic time’s inevitable one way
passive to active direction,

Erection of lines written
and rewritten
into this moment
of waving wonder
how resiliently limned health
reflects awesome nutritional resonance
of discontinuous assymetricl deviance
cognitive dissonance
waving
weaving toward affective rooted absence
of anticipated confluence,

Like bumps
lumps
wrinkles
mountains and valleys
of emergent theologically grand minds
in aging
ancient ecologically small organic bodies

Imagining climate pathological end
of healthy living green/blue Earth
predicted in commencement of cancerous capitalism
written in lines of greedy eyes
and needy ears
for egocentric masculine opportunity,
predative perpetuity.

Please Do Panic

Writing yet another note to my straight white CongressMan,
asking him to Please, Do Panic
about all this fear-based non-legislation
undemocratic fascist
nationalistic Win/Lose evolutionary corrupt
democratic devolution
going on around
and within us,

I’m wearing a white 1970s vintage Tshirt
from Castro Street’s Don’t Panic
political resistance and celebration
apparel.

Fifty years later,
I think it is well past time
to take the cooperativist
win/win panic plunge,

With a bold
black framed message:

THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT
IS WRONG

My son’s Haitian-American nurse,
married
and straight
as a military-industrialized arrow,
without the slightest quiver
of vocalized doubt,

Sexy darkbrown skin,
greying at his wisdom temples,
and a devout capitalist 7th Day Adventist
family provider man
of second or third evangelical generation,

Wants to know
if he, in 2020,
is affiliated with what my Tshirt says
to the Religious Right of 1975.

Possibly,
but I have always known you
as part of a Spiritual Right,

Which does not
too liberally judge
outside your own sensory satisfactory experience,

And is informed
and transparently curious
to learn from your own
sensory anticipations
of healthy smells
and wealthy tastes,
what feels good
and touches right,

And to responsibly stretch
your own sensory anxieties/anticipations
without blaming
or ambiguously shaming yourself
for not accepting who you are
right now
in this life
flowing toward
who we will become sacredly together,
spiritually and naturally,
tomorrow.

Which must,
in good right faith,
inevitably become a more rooted choice
to not be some other spiritual
or anti-spiritual life,
sometimes anxious about monoculturally competing
and other times anticipating
multicultural engagement
to be most naturally/spiritually right
in the ZeroZone pocket
of just Right EarthNursing balance.

Finding right religion
in natural/spiritual sensory experience;
your own phenomenological journey
embeds our shared ontological history
of sensory
neurological reweaving
re-ligioning psychological
left/right
yang/yin ancient sensory co-arising climax
of co-awareness,
consciousness,
co-operative con-scientiousness,
Ego/Eco-Systemic Balance.

My son’s 7th Day Adventist
Black Lives Matter
Haitian-American straight male nurse responds,

“Thank you.
That’s true.”

“Where can I find this shirt?
I would like one to wear
to our church picnic.
My extended Right spiritual family
will have many paniced health questions.”

And concerns
about green democratic wealth, I add.

“And, as you say,
some surprisingly grateful
gospel faith
anticipations.”

Wealthy Defense/Healthy Offense

Fear-based legislation,
more against our diverse pathologies
than for our multiculturing health relationships,

The attempt to govern negative emotions,
outcomes of poor communication,
is always
and everywhere
a corrupt effort,
a suboptimizingly ineffective
unhealthy
impoverishing
unenlightened political
and disempowering economic
uncooperative idea.

The opposite may also be true power
and beautifully enlightening;

That love
and gratitude,
positive attitude rooted legislation
is always fertile
and everywhere regenerative,
a restorative justice
and peaceful experience,
idea,
communication,
choice,
decision,
positive electrical election
for a healthier wealth climate,
individually interior
and globally exterior,
metaphysical
and physical,
sacred
and secular,
induced
and reduced,
inhaled
and exhaled.

So,
conclusions drawn
from this heuristic negative correlation,
thought/felt experiment experience:

Not only be careful
what you don’t legislatively
and judiciously wish for,
also become more creative
with why we do wish for
more abundantly healthy cooperative
sensory/sexual life through death,
spiritual regenerativity
through natural degenerativity
of ego-fearful issues,
solutions,
resolutions,
green democratic constitutions
global corporations
interdependent/static energy networks
therapeutic/pathological governing systems.
