Touched by Kindness

An outrageously warm full moon
radiates above my roof
across our yard,
my face and mind,
reminding me Earth’s nature can and must sometimes feel kind
if last week’s hurricane of snow felt unkind
to aging joints and internal family tensions.

My Taoist roots remain disarticulated on this theme.
Controversy of dissonant and alien natures cannot be kind
because Earth is not kind.
Yet too often taught,
I feel this full moon glow across my tearing mind,
that nature is unkind
and so it is our nature to compete to survive,
rather than cooperate to thrive,
along with all Earth’s Golden Ruling creatures
and ecosystems.

And yet this narrative,
left removed from other half,
distorts who we are sometimes,
who I am at my best and healthiest,
and least competitive dissonance,
because in 0-sum Taoist nondual co-arising philosophy,
where there is an unkind Yang
there must also be a kind Yin
or how would we know anything of kindness,
positive or negative opposition,
yang both/and yin apposition
full regenerative kindness and empty unkind promise.

This warm January moon will darkly empty,
yet fill again
to touch my heart,
our hearts,
with Earth’s kind and healthy Promise.

Home Running Ego

Ego is the label psychology gives us
to describe our ecoconscious experiences,
those cooperatively-nutritionally regenerative
of climate health,
internal and external climates and landscapes and networks,
and those competitive-dissonant degenerative of embodied climate health,
internal as externally devolving,
decaying RightBrain-Body feelings
and LeftBrain-Body worded ego-centric thoughts
of embodied ecoconsciousness,
internal as external confluent
without ‘ego’ off-centering competing preference,
without attachment to ego empire building,
0-sum unworded interdependent polypathic awareness,
internal ego-forming as externally informed,
beginning with RightBrain-Body formation,
empathic trust dominant
within matriarchal nutritional paradise
of embryonic climate health.

Eco emerges Ego through our Exodus from Eden
birth canal emergence into Earth Tribe
regenerating/degenerating Earth’s climate health.

Ego health begins and ends
with developing regenerate cooperative contentment
in our own interdependent languaged thoughts with feelings skin,
hearts,
minds,
bodies,
brains,
spinal cords…

To grow a healthy Ego
is to becom polypathically ecoconscious of climate therapies,
internal and external,
ecologically symbiotic.

Symbiotic
is a word evolutionary theory gives us
to regenerate theology of transubstantiating meaning,
sacred ecological purpose
toward abundant multicultural climates
of interdependent ecopolitical health.

Ego LeftBrain words and economic and political thought
and practice, practice, practice,
emerge from Elder RightBrain ecoconsciousness
to become more cooperatively nondual co-arising flow
grace
karmic climate health consciousness.

Ego is a label for ecoconscious nutritional trust,
and lack thereof,
in cooperative economic and political experience.

Digesting Happiness

What did your grandmother tell you about happiness?

Bottom line,
All you have is your health.
Nothing about money or celebrity status at all.

Yes. That sounds familiar.
And, what did your father hope for your happiness?

He was more nuanced about happiness.
Or maybe conflicted would be a better word.
Happiness was maybe not the right question.
Certainly not the most important one.

Did he have a favorite aphorism?

You are what you eat.

Putting those two together, then,
You progress in absorbing health
as you conservatively invest in healthy nutritional choices,
and vice versa,
we progress toward further degeneration
as we continue to compete against toxins
from unhealthy environmental choices.

They both talked about the Golden Rule,
although not about nutritional choices.

If they talked about the Golden Cooperative Rule,
they were talking about healthy, nutrition-optimizing, choices,
conservationally progressive orthopraxis,
and co-arising feelings of trust,
rather than continuing to co-gravitate toward more competitive investments,
rooted in others’ naive benighted breaches
of mentoring healthy integrated, digestible, investments
as you would have others mentor nutritionally cooperative enrichment
to and with conservational-progressive ego-healthy you.

Maybe my grandkids want to hear me say,
and watch me do,
Bottom line,
All we have is our cooperative health flow,
neither too Yang over-active
nor too Yin under active,
under creation storying,
integrity’s nurturing, graceful,
karmic flow toward even further regenerations.

Yes,
and then too there is that business about
You are what you eat,
so you are also what you are eaten up and down by,
and for,
and with.

Jesus Christ as Climate Savior

To my sisters,
and narrow-way brothers,
in Jesus Christ
as Supreme U.S. Savior,

I reached U.S. voting age during the 70s.
During this time,
the Religious Right
and Republican Party Center
were about the same place;
not distinguishable,
inscrutable, perhaps.

In strong conserving defense of retail-commodified AntiChrist,
yet wrapped in Fundamentally-Wrong Christian
and Way-Not-True Roman Catholic Orthodox
Never-Even-Think-About-Change-Or-Evolution as Co-Relational Tradition,
(although what on Earth do you think was on Jesus’ mind
having been brought up to be a good Jewish Orthodox boy,
with regard to the change/not-change Tradition dilemma?)
Religious Republicans described Feminists,
GLBTQ Civil Rights,
and Earth and Immigrant CommonRights Advocates,
as leaders of an increasingly powerful godless, immoral,
relativistic derailing system.

Economists and Politicians and Ecologists and Therapists
who supported ubiquitous freedom toward integrity
and freedom from dominating GodLust Exegesis of Orthodox ReGenerativity,
were leading us away from your Beacon City of Calvinistic Judgment,
supremely sitting as WinLose King of the otherwise blotted
blighted Hill;
a Hill which other Christians still more primally felt
as ecological WinWin Earth’s nurturing network nest.

Or, at least this was the way Conservative Christian consciousness was portrayed,
reflecting back on us and to us by media and academic institutions,
and sometimes heard in our homilies,
yet there is little, if any, economic support for this view
of 1970’s Religious Republicanism.

Could it be,
I wonder,
our cultural historians,
talk show pundits,
and our own clergy,
often misunderstood our Religious Right’s Republican Center
in a Holy Spirit of ecological, primal co-redemptive relationalism,
misunderstood as mere secular relativism,
more accurately exegeted as One Body of EnSpirited Christ,
both Patriarchal and Matriarchal,
both Conserving DNA-encrypted Tradition
and Nurturing Nutritional-EcoRelational Integrity,
but each primally,
originally,
embryonically virgin-wombed
within Earth’s nurturing compost
of Matriarchal-CoOperative EcoPolitics;
Mother’s Milky Sacred ReGenerative BeComing.

A U.S. history,
or any history,
of ecopolitical revolutions
is also a continuing teleological story
of religion’s embryonic through millennial phylogeny,
maturation of ecological democratic evolution.

The Christian Right reformed both Republicanism
and U.S. Christian belief systems
to fit secular enculturing beliefs,
rather than noticing the richer civil, Earth, and immigrant nurturing opportunities side
of Christ’s bicameral humane-divine Body,
speaking about how uniting the nations of both Americas
with all the integral-healthing nations of Earth
could be revolutionary change
led by true Orthodox and Beautifully Beloved Communities,
ecological,
ecosystemic,
ecopolitical Christians in solidarity with all EarthTribe Others.

Throughout the 70s,
a majority of Christian Republican women,
and a large minority of Christian Republican men,
usually did not miss opportunities to support
universal civil and Earth rights
and integrative, nurturing compassion for Sojourners
at the margins and borders of our international health as wealth economy.

This continues to this day.
Most lay leaders in our Christian churches,
black and white,
occasionally even black and white and Hispanic and Other together,
are Christian women and Other
who know in our reborn again Holy EnSpirited Hearts
that Jesus of Nazareth
was the First among CoMessianic nurturing,
ecological,
ecopolitical equals,
to carry Earth’s regeneratively compassionate love in our guts,
as Earth has given rise to Religious Right Republicans,
deep heart-learning centered,
agapic-erotic integrative,
healthy humane-divine Left-Right us,
embodied Holy Spirits,
CoMessiahs of love’s polypathy
co-mentoring nutritional wisdom
speaking ecological narrative,
after listening ecosystemic regenerative.

If we are reborn through co-empathic belief
in a shared Commons-Holy Enspirited
wombed Body of Christ,
then we are of Virgin (0)-sum ecopolitical rebirth
and, if so,
we are transgenderally originally regeneratively recreated
for optimizing ecopolitical healthy wealth abundance
of nurturing love fertility and beauty
and goodness through polypathic nutritional integrity.

One dimensional bilateral erotic biological climax time
is also four dimensional transubstantiating agapic-ecological spacetime.

Each Christian Ego had to begin somewhere, sometime.
It is our shared embryonic polypathic experience
and faith
and belief
and truth
and empathic trust
this spacetime is both Alpha Yang Erotic
and Omega Yin Agapic,
timeless West-East
Nature-Spiritual
nondual co-arising
Ego/Eco-Logical Wisdom.

At least,
so it seems within this regeneratively evolving,
but also degeneratively devolving,
bicameral conserving-integrating
Left-Right mindbody
of Christ’s Co-Empathic Climate of Trust.

Praying with Heschel

“To escape from the mean and penurious [competitions],
from calculating and scheming [WinLose Gaming],
is at time the parching [integrative healthy] desire
of [ecopolitical LeftBrain Dominant] man [sic]…

Prayer [RightBrain ecoconsciousness] clarifies
our [ego/ecotherapeutic] hope and intentions.

It helps us discover our true [maturing polypathic] aspirations,
the [monoculturing] pangs we ignore,
the [multicultural] longings we forget
[to expand our ego’s monocultural identity].

It is an act of self[ego]-purification…

It [regeneratively] teaches us what [both Earth and Ego] aspire to,
implants in us the ideals we [DNA/RNA health-wealth encrypted] ought
to cherish
[with even more endo/ecto-symbiotic moral integrity
of self-optimizing ego-health
as Earth’s perduring regenerative wealth].”

[Sorry, Abraham,
my LeftBrain always has to have the last bracketed word.]

No worries.
Enjoy your self-and-other perpetuating Sabbath.

 

Quotation is from The Wisdom of Heschel, p. 206.

Routine Rituals

Routine.
New Year
yet the same ritualistic routines,
absent their blissfully celebrating roots
buried in more fertile loves and hope-filled times
and might have beens
if not for this today
with these people
on this sacred nurturing Goddess Earth,

Still making more or less nice with FireGod Sun,
whom some experience more condemning and unkind nature,
while others as more enlightened to be helpful spirit,
even kind with manna as Vitamin D
feeding DNA’s further interdependently co-arising potential.

Routine and ritual,
multitasking and acclimating ecosystems,
yang-digesting and yin-nurturing biosystems,
consuming economic PowerOver Ego
and producing Ta(0)Systemic ReGenerativity,

Routine
both feeding us regenerative health and nurturance
but also bleeding us of fully invested interest in right now,
where we are,
with whom,
and why
and why notnot could be polypathically otherwise.

Routine, like ritual,
piety, like patriotism,
both feeds us nutrients from Earth’s sacred Creation Stories,
but also bleeds us of cooperative co-investment
within this radically democratic ecological climate,
sometimes degenerative,
cognitive-affective antipathies,
LeftBrain enculturing dominance
noticing, not quite too soon,
RightBrain’s bicameral ego/ecoconscious nurture-flow
of karmic sacred regenerative graced healthy ecotherapy,
returning,
reweaving nature-spirit
Yang/Yin nondually co-arising
ReVolution (0)-Universal CoreSoulSum
Black Hole
dualdark (NotLose,NotLose) = +Win,
appositional thermodynamic tensegrity balance (B. Fuller)
PolyPathic Ego/EcoCenter.

Routine
both distracting from better celebrations elsewhere
and attracting more celebratory rituals
for more abundant EarthFlows
of sacred karmic grace
so democratically accessible,
these icons of nature’s kindness
right/left outside our doors
and LeftBrain dominant walls.

Our routines are internal celebrations
expressing gratitude with wonder and awe,
open ecoconsciousness as co-empathic,
celebrating this opportunity
this day
this life
this eternal (0) now sacred moment
of Yang opportunity
through Yintegral wisdom’s Earth nurturance,
this PricklyPolitical/EcoGooey moment (Alan Watts)
of climate pathology messages
regarding climate health ecotherapeutic vocational opportunities
accessible right here,
right now,
with the people and plants
we each intentionally share our nurturing lives with
for mutually regenerative health
extending on out to alien wierdo folks
who seem totally clueless,
and yet our co-empathic ecopolitical challenge
to rediscover all creatures prefer cooperative Golden Rules
predicting WinWin evolutioning strategies
over LeftBrain’s egocentric supremacist monoculturing need
to always have the last word,
about everything and everyone on Earth,
yet blind to Ego’s forest of deep learning opportunities
for the stumbling blocks of anthrocentric plutocratic family trees.

Routine, like ritual,
Piety, like polypathic eco-empathic celebrations,
Singing, like dancing,
Speaking, like acting
as if we might care to hear and actually watch out for each other,
both feed our celebrations
and bleed our LeftBrain purgations
of routines reified of reweaving rituals
of deep revolving fertile healthwealth
LeftNature-RightSpirit eco-rituals,
remembering embryonic Matriarchal Nutrition Stories
of mutually cooperative integrity
flowing out what we could mean
by (0)-sum WinWin ReGenerativity.

Yang as universal ultra
with Yin as violet octave-flow exformating
dualdark co-gravities,
double-binding timeless now experience
of Routine
as DNA’s BusinessAsUsual
rituals of sacred celebration
surging within Earth’s abundant
greens and browns and blues and greys
and reds with orange and yellow,
and pink and purple,
and even white and black opaque
and violet rainbow RNA-inspired CathedralEarth
of rhythms and patterns
of sound and sight,
co-passionate delights,
agapic and erotic
Routine.

Another revolutionary ring
around Earth evolution’s sacred Matriarchal Nurturing Flow,
Routine
provoking timeless wonder and polypathically awesome days
and perhaps even multiculturally exotic nights.
Who knows,
you might get RightBrain integrative freedom lucky
liturgically diastatic
abundant-flow
regeneratively healthy-wealthy
Routine.

Biological Enlightenment

First off,
this is not pick on George Lakoff day
because I love his Political Mind like a brother.

BUT,
yes,
you knew that was coming,
so let me change it right now

AND,
yes, much of the proletariat-patriarchal Enlightenment Era
of the 1700s was weighted toward Transcendence,
so, yes, a tendency toward disembodied,

AND YET,
if we look toward the more bourgeois-matriarchal sector,
especially all those disenfranchised women birthin’ babies,
but also other disadvantaged perspectives of Enlightenment,
these were very much about natural, healthy regenerative richness,
perhaps erotic wonder and climatic awe,
rather than some spiritual experience
more high-brow agapic,
yet no less,
perhaps even rather more,
integrative flow-abundant
embodied
co-mentored and empathically communicated
reverent and sacred enlightenment,
however democratically common
as our universal experience
of diastatic enlightenment
nurtured within a matriarchal integrative womb
rather than embryonically formed
from a patriarchal transcendent penis.

I don’t think red-neck conservative Republicans
are any less interested in,
or committed to,
or capable of,
healthy enlightening polypathic experience
than are progressive Ivy League academic Democrats,
although I do think that those who have healthier nurtured
integrative communication between LeftYang and RightYin hemispheres
are better at finding the WinWin cooperatively enlightening opportunities
while avoiding unnecessary disembodied pitfalls of WinLose choices
suboptimizing regenerative potential
to experience more positive enlightenment-flow power
rather than more cognitive-affective dissonance,
mistrusting antipathies.

These tend to be those
for whom LeftBrain enculturation dominance,
supremacy,
has been less kind than RightBrain’s matriarchal nurturance.

Ecology of Educational Climates 2017

Further post-millennial dialogue with Abraham Heschel:

“The problem of our youth is not youth.
The problem is the [learning] spirit of our age:
denial of transcendence [in our homes and schools],
the vapidity of [learning] values,
[competing] emptiness in the [economic] heart,
the decreased sensitivity to the imponderable [natural-ecological] quality
of the [cooperative nature-]spirit,
the collapse of [polypathic] communication
between the realm of [spiritual experience] tradition
and the inner [natural ecologically regenerative] world
of the individual.
The central problem is that we do not know how to [cooperatively] think,
how to [regeneratively intend, focus,] pray,
how to [therapeutically] cry,
how to resist the [self-condemning] deceptions
of too many [unwise, unformed] persuaders.”

“The [educational deformation] problem will not be solved by
implanting in youth a sense of belonging
[but by mentoring with youth a cooperative experience of belonging].
Belonging to [within] a [multiculturing] society [of ecological peers]
that fails in offering opportunities to satisfy authentic human [bicameral-balancing polypathic] needs
will not soothe the [dissonant] sense[s] of [climate] frustration
and [ecopolitical landscapes, frames, in monoculturing] rebellion.
What youth needs is a sense of significant [multiculturally cooperative] being,
a sense of [nature-spirit bilateral balancing] reverence
for the [polypathic climate of health] society
to which we all [embryonically] belong.”

“Man [sic] sees the things that [matriarch-embryonically] surround him [sic]
long before he [sic] becomes aware of his [sic] own [regenerate-nurturing] self.
Many of us are conscious of the hiddenness of [nutritional value] things,
but few of us sense the [nurturing bilateral] mystery
of our own [RightBrainBody co-]presence.
The [ego/eco] self cannot be described
[learned or become pedagogically-cooperatively wise]
in the terms of the [autonomous LeftBrain] mind,
for all our symbols are too poor [regeneratively anemic]
to render it
[polypathic nature-spirit centeredness embryonically emerging blissful deep-learning,
co-mentoring contentment].”

We are learning as we are becoming together.

We might imagine life lived fully as not merely a regenerative school
for learning deep polypathic ecological balance,
for global climates of healthy wealth,
both interior and exterior,
but even more profoundly ubiquitous than this matriarchal school model,
we are each co-mentors
still living within Earth’s embryonic womb
of sacred regenerative (0)Riginal Intent,
co-maturing nature-spirit flow-balance
of polypathic bicameral octave frequencies
as double-binding mirror bilateral-neural function,
co-empathic ecopolitical learning development history
of climate health’s nutritional narrative,

As also
Win-Win, both-and
notnot pathologically anti-pathic toxic tipping points,
mentoring not too much wondrously natural Ego YangForm
nor too much internally deep spiritual matriarchal-integrative Eco YinFunction;
but the wu-wei abundant healthywealth climates of both
polypathically incubating our co-learning health together.

Radical Conservative Revolutions

Radical conservatives are cooperatively embracing a culture war.
Our battlefield is our ecologically evolving brain.

At stake is what Earth and Earth’s hosted tribes become.
Our cooperative vocation is to radically co-arise nondual human development
to fit conservationist moral integrity.
Our threat is anemically anthrocentric democracy
and all that does not yet flow positive grace/karma through multiculturing integrity;
not just in NorthWestern cultures,
but wherever LeftBrain dominant influence extends
to RightBrain decomposing repression of deep ecological learning.

LeftBrain WinWin values are fundamentally positive-progressive,
centered on equality,
human as ClimateHealth rights,
economic and social responsibility,
and cooperative inclusion of all species
within our reweaving Golden Rule of Earth’s Conservation Rights.

Yet DNA/RNA co-arising permacultural progressives have,
without knowing why,
given DNA-anthrocentrically dominant conservatives an unwitting advantage
in our eco-cultural struggle toward inclusive peace.
Fundamentalist LeftBrain WinLose survivalists,
still wearing evaporating rags of legitimized conservative labels,
continue to hunt and gather
patriarchal authoritarian hierararchies
rooted in vast fear/anger concentrations
and monopolistic control of capital as the sole measure of wealth,
the commodification of health’s potential integrity ourselves;
unbalancing disorder rooted in fear,
bullying and intimidation,
obedience to condemning paranoia;
control of elections and administrations and legislation through control of who votes and who doesn’t bother to cooperatively invest
in our shared future;
and patriarchal family values projected upon religion, politics, and the market,
at the expense of ecopolitical matriarchal nurturing-co-empathic integrative values.

The future of Earth’s climate of democracy is at stake, now.

Social evolution is ecopolitically material–
who competitively/cooperatively controls what forms of wealth–
institutionally ecosystemic–
who runs what nutritionally multicultural/toxically monocultural powers to invest and divest of and for multi-generational regenerativity,
and political competitions within a larger cooperative WinWin network.
But the main front of our climate health culture struggle
is the Left/Right co-arising nondual mindbody,
especially how the bicameral brain functions
below the ego-conscious level of eco-consciousness.

Progressives no longer accept as sufficient
the pre-millennial view of LeftBrain dominant reason,
rooted in evolution as either-or competitions for survival,
dating back through the revolutions of struggling history ourselves,
that reason can be, but is not necessarily, ego-conscious,
both literal and analogical,
both logical and ecological,
both universal and unitarian,
both unemotional and co-arising empathic feelings,
disembodied as decompositional
but primally
regeneratively
ecologically
organically
phylogenically systemic,
serving both egoLeft and ecoRight cooperative conservation interests.

As cognitive and brain sciences unveil,
this is no longer a distorted LeftBrain dominant view of reductive reason.
This may sound like a merely academic issue,
but this assumption about the ecological nature of logical co-empathic
phylogenic comprehension of ego/eco balancing consciousness
has stood in the way of an effective progressive/conservative co-defense
and advancement of polypathic democracy.
Multicultural progressives pre-millennially ceded
the eco-political balanced mind
to fundamental reductivist traditional icons of wealth,
no longer rooted in Earth’s integrity of health.

Our ecopolitically dominant LeftBrain mind
dynamically uncovers RightBrain’s unconscious-unlanguaged modes of politically cooperative thought,
and how these are co-arisingly nondual-linked.

We are each and all climate health experts,
conservatives of cooperative ecopolitical cultures.
As we develop our cognitive sciences,
we are changing our polypathic comprehension of ecosystemic technical fields
like economics,
international climate health relations,
regenerative v degenerative evolution,
and LeftBrain dominant linguistics,
and why these LeftRight balancing changes matter
for Earth’s future ecological politics.

Cooperative Capital Investment

If you want to not only defend and secure your mental health and happiness,
but also optimize their positive capital flow-power;

If you can find sufficient motivation for one change,
and only one nature/spirit change,
then continue to assume your Right hand dominant mind
is might makes capital-invested ego-happiness right,
BUT/AND
work on equivalently presuming Left hand Yintegral sacred ecosystemic mind
is also right flows eco-healthy co-mentoring opportunities
for growing cooperatively incarnating abundance of healthy(R)happy-wealth(L).

These two, appositionally united,
rather than merely dissonant, chaotic, mis-communicating
between LeftBrain ego-dominant economic survivalism
and RightBrain eco-recessive politically organic regenerative health,
recreate embryonically-nurtured ego-force of eco-flow,
Yang/Yin ego-form of Earth-ecological-function,
POWER with CoEMPOWERING FLOW OPTIMIZATION
mindbody forms with ecopolitically strong healthy functions,
LeftEgo/Right-DNA/RNA Solidarity
human-divine
nature-spirit
balancing biosystems
of past and for future timelessly self/other optimizing cooperative
healthy(R)wealth(L).

On the other hand,
if conserving and defending your own regenerative health abundance
is of no interest,
then, never mind.
Keep on with the LeftBrain Business as Competitively Usual.
Just know that you are irrationally choosing to continue playing your economics and politics and mental health
using a pre-millennial WinLose misunderstood model of evolution
when you have available
a post-millennial WinWin ego/ecoconscious model
for continuing to defend and secure polypathic revolutions.

No pressure.
Your decision.
But you will never feel you have honestly,
with total investment integrity, decided one way or the other
until you choose WinLeftEgo/WinRight EcoPolitical CoOperative-Flow Balance.
