Bending Nature’s Temporal Bow

The way of Heaven, and health,
for that matter,
Is it not like the bending of a bow?
The top comes down and the bottom-end goes up.
The extra is shorted, the insufficient is expanded.
(Laotse, “Bending the Bow,” pp. 305-6, 1942, Modern Library, Lin Yutang, ed.)

The way of economic paradise,
is it not like the bending of a therapeutic bow?
The top comes down as the poverty-end goes up.
The fattest are shortened,
as the insufficient expand.
It is the way of Beloved Community
to take away from those upstream, with too much,
by mutually investing with those without enough downstream.

Not so with human nature’s way:
We take away freedom and power from those without BusinessAsUsual value
And give them as tribute to those with too much.
Who can have enough and to spare to coredeem the entire world?
Only Wisdom.
Therefore the Sage acts and transacts,
but does not possess or dispossess,
Accomplishes but lays claim to no credit or deficit,
Because he has no wish to seem economically or ecologically superior to 0-soul value.
(Adapted from ibid)

Bending this permacultural bow of bilateral boundariesin time,
between host and client,
the bender and the bowed,
rich and poor,
stimulus and co-response,
self with eco-other,
YangYes as NotNotNo YinYin,
Left in sacred solidarity with Right,
full summer’s incubating copassionate heat
with deep winter’s decomposing cold compost,
until all four Seasons equivalently fulfill,
diastolically complete health management
and co-arising equitable investment,
trough naturally and mutually integrative functions.

When seen together,
through Left’s “both-and” ecological
as Right’s “not-not” logical dipolar landscapes,
through life’s therapeutic/pathological seasons
preferring well-fired water and airy subterranean soil,
C through F closed-fractal
as A through Guanine/Adenine RNA-regeneratively open pregnant octaves,
through annual win-win economic balancing life-health games
reflecting perennial win-lose ecological cycles
of (0)-sum slow revolutionary harmonic cosmic balance,
we can each and all shoot comprehensive conscious arrows
into fertile post-millennial enculturation,
drenched in eco-Earth’s self-Ego love.

Living,
bow-hunting each moment as my Tipping Point last
and our more polyculturally inclusive bilateral last octave step
toward ego death’s eco-ionic winterish rebirth.

This more fully organic mind-culture we are hunting
and farming and foresting,
a rich composting Holding SpaceTime
of (0)-centric positive polynomial values
appositively balancing,
tipping,
exchanging,
transporting negative not-not non-named,
ignored, neglected, dispossessed and undervalued Disvalues
of Anger and Fear of Time’s Great CoArising Departure,
lurking behind our Fractal-Crystal-TransParent Commons
for recycling cognitive dissonance,
slowly pulling into enlightening days and Transitioning ReGeneration
to explore harmonies of scale and pitch,
and developmental learning stages,
proportional polyculturing designs and cooperative guilds
to optimize Positive Systemic Teleology
by diminishing eisegetical “unconscious” dissonance
from our global cooperative orthopraxis–
jump-starting universal co-empathy.

Dynamic perennial understory,
regeneratively reseeding germination of Healthy SpaceTime’s
Zero-Sum eco-logical Four Seasons of growth and decay cycles;
too often confused with stagnant ego-serving Orthodoxy
degenerating Earth’s gasping Business-As-Usual breath.

Time optimizes sustainable Ego-Yang’s diastolic inhalation
through our Self-Subsidizing Eco-Yin-with-Yin cooperative exhalation.
Yin exhaling is Yang inhaling.
We find only 0-centric difference of identity.

Investing in Ego-reducing praxis for ContinuousQualityImprovement,
Bucky’s least dissonant way to improve failing systems
is to optimize their environmental ecosystems,
their ecological balance and holistic harmonious potential flow streams,
especially their root-systemic perennial enculturation environments
to grow more effective year-round economic health nutrients,
collateral correlational evidence for Positive Teleological Value,
and less cognitive dissonant Ways and Means toward profligate hope,
Truth and Consequences for regenerating inclusive faith,
in The Good Life and Death of synergetic coredeemer love,
a graceful co-messianic incarnation
of post-millennial Tao ReGenesis.

Balancing dia-praxis,
including comprehensive eco-consciousness dialogue,
grows from primally rooted regenerative fractal systemic health-practice.
Positive practice intent is not even possible to grow therapeutically
without a Positive Teleological Assumption,
too often attenuated as merely enthymematic empathic-wish fullness.

People harboring insanity, depression, opposition,
sociopathology,
high stressed over-populated anxiety,
are less well-oriented to Positive Teleological Orthopraxis
due to a lack of sufficient health-equity practice
unveiling contenting implications within contentious dissonance,
therapeutic relationships of mutual basic co-empathic attendance
and cooperatively active mentorship.

The way of Beloved Climax Community
and Communication,
is it not like the bending of a Full Four Season
permacultural bow facing bilateral namaste
for life as death reborn?

Loving Defiance

Punishing for revenge,
could this occur to natural systems
without capacity to imagine alternative futures?

Punishing others for their defiant behavior,
actions and words stronger than merely ignorant
bolder than merely angry with each other, and ourselves,
but how much more
to accurately measure fair consequences
for words of anger
compared to more aggressive, too often violent,
defiance?

If I had never been a victim of another’s vengeance,
bullying,
violence of word and deed,
intent and practice to exercise power of revenge
against a defiant world,
including me,
however unwittingly, impersonally,
would all defiance in my life
calm down into more generic anger
about fear of living as dying alone,
haunting dreams of chronic claustrophobic stress?

Perhaps my defiance was merely being who I really am,
but it didn’t look right through your vengeance lens of opportunity
v. risk.
A safer mark becomes another punished victim
growing increasingly defiant and/or depressed.

Repressive chronic stress
echoing post-partum critical stress disorder,
and fear of Ego’s demise
predicting total loss of sensory consciousness,
loss of love co-arising Time and Life,
CoPresent TransParent Consciousness,
Communicant of InFormating Memory Strains.

If no defiant anger,
then no punishing revenge.
If no revengeful lack of mercy,
then no fear-filled anger,
opening each moment’s life
to love’s new-old possibilities.

An empire of nations and tribes,
and sometimes mobs and klans,
invested in competing my anger against your fear.
Evil intent and competitive will have suboptimized Live
by divesting of truly symbiotic evolution
as nondual co-arising healthy regeneration trends
for all Earth’s Tribes,
but only worshipped as NotNot HumanNatural EcoSystemic Universal Timeless Power and Integrative Function
by HumanNatural EcoSystems,
perversely enough.

An empirically deductive-dominant historical culture
falls defiantly apart,
angry and afraid,
to open unoccupied space for empathic nondual love,
peacefully interdependent governance,
mutually subsidiary co-mentoring ego/eco balance therapists
advocating contentment of cooperative ecosystems
over contention of competitive political-economic systems,
designing and developing merciful justice
as active pay-it-forward peace.

PreMillennial Tyranny of angry frightening gods and destiny
fading before Great Transition Bodhisattva Warriors
finding good humor in mutual co-existing on Earth as Host,
serving nutritious composting manna,
to all permacultural role-models
aspiring toward polycultural outcomes,
BiCameral Occupier-Parasites
filled with nuclear-neural folding and unfolding regeneratively-timed virus,
benign merger messages of deductive/inductive-empathic balance,
like breathing in and out,
to produce healthier and safer outcomes than revenge,
followed by more defiance, etc.

Revenge breeds defiance
as forgiveness and zero-interest investments
breed co-arising love/live and nutritional prosperity.

Forgiving defiance,
whether personal or political,
whether economic or environmental,
predicts optimal revenge
of loving anger and fear
as they co-mentor our selves,
our cells,
our memory of time,
both day and night bicameral.

MLK’s Beloved Community

MLK’s Positive Beloved Community Psychology:

The study
and mindbody experience
of positively regenerative life
as appositionally dipolaric,
negative correlational,
with negative decompositional time-trends
back toward cultural absence of memory
and consciousness
and conscience
and co-arising empathy
back into endosymbiotic cognitive dissonance
physical-ego decay,
and metaphysical-ec(o)-soul irrationality
of unbalanced temporal-neural dysfunction,
growing autistic depressive-repressive anger and fear,
disintegrative chronic,
increasingly climatic,
dis-ease racing toward even further YangFear
monocultural trending self/other-hatred,
socio-eco-politicalpathology,

for missing out
on our polycultural diastasis opportunities
to choose full-life investment in polyempathic love
and Beloved Community
Interior within Exterior Landscaped evolutionary contentment
through Positive BiCameral EcoPsychological Consciousness

Choosing Safe Hands

Like you,
I make choices each moment
of each day.
Apparently,
we review those choices each dreaming moment
of enculturing memory.
We choose within a range
of permacultural resonance
–regenerative polycultural long-range potential for nutritional WinWin resolution–
and cognitive/affective dissonance

Dissonance between our
Left Ego’s Exterior Landscape,
a land of deductive self-preservation,
of WinLose hypothetical consciousness,
of eisegetically held personal knowledge,
of relevant and significant “fact” beliefs,
of ionic-iconic comparative truth maps
with familiar BusinessAsUsual neural networks
of rhythms and patterns of exegetically encultured language;

and our Right Eco’s Interior Relational Landscape,
of poly-empathic inductive Self/Other systemic dipolar function,
of polycultural therapy as DNA regenerative WinWin syntax default,
of eco-normative,
electromagnetic,
and thermodynamic co-gravitational bionic balance
co-arising LovePeace v. AngerFear as LoseLose
double-binding unstringing irrational bipolaric dissonance
merging back into death’s threshold
between Interior and Exterior surfing timeless regenerating+decomposing(-,-)
information’s dialectical RNA-iconic way.

These two Primal YangYin as Exterior/Interior Relational Landscapes
of human natural identity
cooperate toward polycultural outcomes,
preference for WinWin self/other-perpetuating
eco-political choices for outcome design
and personal through global redevelopment.

And/Or,
we will continue with BusinessAsUsual
bicamerally endosymbiotic competition-driven evolution,
lack of ecoconsciousness most of our days and moments,
reserving this sacred space for moon lit dreams,
within each moment’s co-arising elational time.

Human cultural evolution,
for regenerating health and therapy purposes,
emerges choice of Left and/or Right MindBody
BiCamerally Balancing EcoConsciousness.

Emerging freedom to cooperatively will
what we each regeneratively intend
to polyculture our Interior and Exterior Landscapes together,
and freedom to step back
take a cooperative time out
to compare our deductive decompositional subeconomies,
to research diverse tributaries of time’s co-arising river,
to calculate comparative health costs
and safety risks right now,
for our children’s children,
and for all Earth Tribe’s children.

Fortunately, and unfortunately,
we have arrived at a transitional moment
as a human-natured bicameral species,
inviting more of our Left-Right Balancing Interior Landscape moments
so we can share more ecological health;
LeftYang is to RightYinYin
as Exterior Landscape reception
is to Interior Landscape resonance,
balancing regenerative health choice
each now of time’s revolution.

That narrow optimizing +Love of Health choice
lies MidWay wu-wei tipping reiteratively back and forth
as Present waves namaste gratitude
between AngerPast and FutureFear

While this may sound loud and pretentious,
I readily admit wrestling with my 120 pound daughter
psychotropically puffed out
while she wrestles with her instinctive addiction
to negative synaptic drama investments,
trying to stick a diaper on over her pull-up
and under her dress
feels like trying to force a build-it-yourself thong
on a crocodile.
Even so,
I have a range of choices,
to wrestle against this crocodile,
assuming I am on my own,
a victim of adverse circumstances,
or I could ask her if she would be mindful
of her teeth and claws
and might she possibly pretend
to become an opossum
for just fifteen seconds.

Like you,
I make choices each moment,
of each day,
and review them at night,
until one morning
we get it more right,
deductively decomposing our inductive regenerative trend analysis
into a more cooperative future integrity.

CoRevolving Cohen Bodhisattva Presence

“When you recognize yourself to be a very small part of a complex,
ever-expanding,
multidimensional process,
and see how almost every aspect of that experience
has been produced
by what has come before,
it becomes increasingly difficult
to see yourself
as a completely unique individuated entity.

This perspective ultimately reveals that the separate self-sense
is nothing more than an illusion of uniqueness,
created moment by moment
through our compulsive habit
of personalizing almost every thought,
feeling,
and sensation we have.”

More on Empathic Communication

From Robert Norton and David Brenders “Laws of Interaction” Table 11.1, p. 227, in Communication & Consequences, Erlbaum Associates, 1996:

 

“A person fills in premises in a way that makes sense to the self.” sounds like a Gadfly to me.

“A person accepts the validity of messages from the other.” sounds co-Relational to me.

“Past [exegetical] premises structure present understanding.” sounds Institutional to me.

“Idiosyncratic [maybe poly-synergetic is what was intended here?] understanding enhances the capacity to create an enthymematic [probably “empathic” is more accessible  to a wider audience] response.” could sound like a Negotiator’s resonance-evolving trend.

If that mutual mapping seems about right, then, following along with Norton and Brenders, the second half of this prime-octave regenerative structure toward co-evolutionary polycultural communication would fill out something like:

“Sufficiently similar connections allow pragmatic [positive-active resolving] consequences.” Noticing new (gadfly) potential resolutions.

“The strategic communicator uses what the self [ego-identity] idiosyncratically [poly-synergetically?] knows.” Investing in eisegetical risk-taking, correlationally  (co-relational) intended disclosure.

“The strategic communicator thrives on new information.” Positive Reiteration regeneratively trends toward newly incarnating (emergent institutional incorporating) evolutionary formation.

“The strategic communicator[s] [co]controls the enthymematic [co-empathic evolutionary] process.” Diastatic-emergent regenerative  eco-fusion, inclusive of full population diversity (co-negotiated, co-mentored) as a positive discernment value.

 

Norton & Brenders next go to a new level of successfully communicating in highly complex environments, difficult issues, my own additions in brackets: “IX. [Polypathic] Complexity     [CoArising] Complex knowledge facilitates enthymematic [empathic polyculturing] control [positive regenerational order, sequence, development, natural evolution, incarnation, grace, karma].

I believe that both the Santos-Lang (www.grinfree.com) and the Norton and Brenders evolutionary stage theories of regenerative discernment through collective deep-empathic learning would benefit by adding the word bicameral to the Laws of Interaction, because I believe the same stage-trends appear whether we are talking about an individual’s health/therapy discernment for their Interior Bicameral Landscape, or referencing a group or community’s regeneratively willed and intended discernment for our co-created Exterior BiCameral Landscape; but that is an even more universal canvas of informational evolution and dialectical potentiality.

Right Mind Solstice

If Left MindBody is the iconic foot of language
and resolutions,
whether for a new year
or for a new day,
then Right MindBody may emerge an ionic footprint,
syntax for regenerative language
as resonance of positive love feelings
and negative anger and fear and hate and anxiety empathic feelings.

Right mind sees and hears and feels and feeds on individuating Presence,
where Left mind domesticates,
labels,
commodifies,
languages,
lists and catalogs independent Persons.

Right mindbody enters a balancing
holonic
holy threshold boundary
of insane voices
angry about ego’s past,
afraid for both ego and Earth’s future
and for this Universe
as embryonic nest or “heaven”
of Earth,
potentially and therapeutically Beloved
metaphysical,
and Climaxing
physical-natural organic, Heaven on Earth.

Afraid ego will not have sufficient time
to complete our HeavenlyEarth assigned
co-messianic vocation;
but also, doubly,
boundary thresholding

toward loving mutually empathic Presence
of, in, by, through co-relational Present,
co-arising eco-gravitationally systemic regeneration
for our universal
and yet polyculturally uniting-inviting love
of timeless NOW.

Here lies Right mind’s narrow path of empathic Presence,
between fear of fear’s fractured future
and anger’s anvil of past discontent.

Redeemer Howl

Forgive me
for soundly sleeping while you silently weep,
for bold breathing while you belligerently wilt,
for heart beating strong and true
without you and yours,
dust fore-given free.

Challenge us
to never swim without you,
to always win to win rich blues,
love’s lusty inclusion,
heroic trust.

Relent me
for needing to win
on backs aching with loss
for balancing harmonic dross
while children drift to sea
sons and daughters without home
except hunger to live free.

Redeem me
with my up-front birth deposit
within a more nurturent wombing sea,
no choice specific to how I might be,
or not become,
a fairly well-fed lottery ticket
avoiding your draft for violence,
ballistic anger,
seasoning sorrow
for a tomorrow without rational hope
of better than today
or last,
with all those wished-for lasts before,
your chronic path through over-populated messages
that black
and brown
and red
and victimed,
and oppressed,
and unhealthy subliminal suppressed lives do not fucking matter,
poverty trends to eat our young
to digest in tumors of rich fat deposits
before children can leaven hope to ever fly together
through a deeper embracing ecology.

Know me,
your nature’s genetic parasite
afraid of my own absorption
within our regenetic forested wild
while I sleep
to the beat
of a defenseless child
born too soon for time’s enrapture,
born without face
that splatters through dull culture’s consciousness,
no matter
if some grow fatter
while flowers fade
and next year’s seeds cease speaking
within their silo tree,
while others climb her privileged branches
to grow free.

Free me,
from this relentless suboptimizing justice,
for placing lack of empathy
where surplus of antipathy
breathed and smoldered more honestly,
relentlessly burning warrior hearts
in passioned love with eco-we,
reclaiming corporate integrity for ego-me,
free from investing in slow death silence,
quiet laissez-faire mediocrity,
free to live Earth’s incubator nest
of webbing life,
time’s space to be,
letting go of life alone at sea
to invest in fear of death as we
becoming, reconnecting me to echo Earth’s harmonic frequency,
to cosmic jazz-dance solar light of free,
with power to feel your beat as me.

Peaceful Losers

Patching up enslaving hatred is sure to leave some hated aftermath.
How can this be regarded as tolerable,
these interior human natured self-hatred transgenerational aftershocks?
Therefore Wisdom holds the Yang as Loser paradoxical space,
And does not dispossess guilt toward any Winners.
Virtue, like indentured servitude, is for coredemptive patching up;
Violence of enslaving hatred is for assigning Loser guilt.
But, the way of wisdom is partial toward inclusive Winners;
Siding only with coredemptive dispossessive losers
of enslavement, possession, cancerous wealth of entitled self-hatred
and fear of death as loss.

Knock Knock.

Who’s there?

Slave.

Oh, well, first, ummm…Slave whom?
And, second, are you sure you intend to knock
on my front door?

First, Slave Hater.
Second, does that sufficiently answer your question?

No, not really, Slave Hater could be most anyone I’ve ever met;
this really doesn’t help me figure out who you are
knocking on my door
in this eternal moment.

So why don’t you open your door
to answer your own fearful questions
about my Hater identity?

Because anyone I would welcome into my life
would never knock first.

What does that say about your identity?
Who are you,
a 24-7 pit stop
only open for those who have a key to you?

That doesn’t sound quite right,
but perhaps not wrong either.

Well then it sounds like we are a good fit.
I’m Slave Hater,
both not quite right or wrong
for your passive-aggressive locked door
Win-Lose logistical strategy.

Wait a minute,
I didn’t say I’m passive aggressive,
and everybody I know locks their door
to win some safety from losers.

But you do say you are passive-aggressive
in your habitual practice of reminding those around you
of what you did not say or do.
You have less empathy for enslaved losers
than fear of becoming one yourself.
Don’t worry so much about it,
all us losers already know you’re a loser too
and we will feel comforted by learning
that you finally recognize you are one of us self-haters.
It’s OK,
really.
You hope that hanging onto that one last key
in your pocket
means you’re not a total loser.
It does.
OK?
No one intends to dispute that,
at least no one you are ever likely to meet
to know and learn to love,
as long as you totally invest in that last sole-Winner key.

Patching up a great hatred
is sure to leave some hatred outside
and behind,
downstream for future struggling memories
dreams
and generations.

Sustainable Hiber-Nation?

Not sure who said this,

in reference to social change and perhaps evolution,

“We can’t be neutral on a moving train.”

 

And yet, we often do retain our natural systemic balance on spinning Earth.

Our gravitational center adjusts to Earth’s flowing magnetic

radiant, attracting, spinning in and out,

folding in and out plasmatic memory functions.

Usually these adjustments follow autonomic natural rhythmic laws

of precessive, then fully engorged lungs and hearts and cells and minds,

then diastolic flow back down and in and back toward dark purgative stasis,

before this ecological fractal cycle regenerates Earth’s nuclear recycling

ReGenesis Codex,

our Common Ground of Becoming.

 

Rational optimizing of polyculturally equitable relationships

between our study and praxis of economics and ecological life

emerges as a richly meaningful relationship

between a horse and a HorseWhispering Logos,

predicating what s/he would most appreciate,

bi-relational value optimization within their humane-horsepowered

ecological running system.

 

Our natural Left-brained deductive economic values

long to belong within

our eco-natured Right-brained intuitive ecological boundaries

of inclusively Golden rationality

within universal information flows and functions,

primal relationship of balanced space and time,

where Polynomial Positive Yang-Explicating Space

equals Time-Reversed PrimeFunctioned Square

Zeroistic +/-(-Bi-nomial) Balanced Yang/Yin Metric Place.

 

Functional informative flow,

unfolds to synergetically cooperate and fuse

organically and thermodynamically animated power systems,

rather than burning energy and resources

to break them apart

and overheat them

and dissolve them,

and kill them.

 

Each day my cells and systems

burn more than grow rich subtlety together,

we look toward winter’s hibernation

with Elder hope for Spring’s Transgeneration.
