Investing in Green

Capital investments,
cooperative more than competitive,
socially mediated more than antisocially premeditated
green health more than white wealth motivated,
are remarkably contrasted,
most certainly not equivalent to,
kleptocratic capital-city privileged capitalism.

Liberal corporate-infested capitalism,
with narcissistic quarterly accounting bottom lines
are not the same as cooperative encircling
capital co-investment.

Democratic positive energy balances
do not tip quietly
toward hoarding wealth
while strangling polyculturally co-invested health.

Win/Lose global competitions
to rape what’s left of fading MotherEarth
follow climate degenerating trends
toward green-health detachment.

Competitive human nature,

and loss of natural/spiritual co-arising life

Better Community Design

Dr. Owl addressed his Community Developer pupils
of “Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Standards
for Home and Garden Design”;
which seemed rather heavy for his prime time of night.

Cooperatively sustained growth and development,
whether humanly designed or not,
is the “climax” or optimal CQI mission of PermaCulture Design (PCD).

Cooperative community development
and PCD share a cooperative-oriented systems paradigm
an arena for positive intervention.
Home and community and life development
also share with PCD
positive outcome indicators
which, when they actually show up,
define a community of sustainable well-being.

These four primary balancing functions of PCD:
consuming and producing
decomposition and regeneration
are also true of community development.

Howsomeversomuchwisdom,
economic development uses producer and consumer language
for developing multisectoral transactions.
Meanwhilecorrelativelycoincidental,
community organizers and policy analysts
speak of culturally regenerative values,
on their more effective days,
and of decomposing
fuel
flow
function
and frequency streams of social systems and networks.
and, more recently, binary information systems as well.

A largely untapped strength of PCD
is its active faith that weeds
and other negative environmental hazards,

like barbed-wire fences that you can’t see at night
and never know when you might fly into them,
and then, that’s that,

other unplanned outcomes,
mysteriously emerge as our most vitally underused
and dispossessed
resources,
even if only as teachers
of what mess to avoid in the future.

For example,
Dr. Eisler describes a darkly dominant macroeconomy
as too competitive and divisive,
rooted in evolutionary cultural assumptions
that we live in a Win-Lose world,
and God did not create any “losers.”
If this might accurately describe our Business As Usual
day
and life
and economy
and thinking about progress
and employment
and my messy beleaguered home life,
and all those struggles just to be heard,
and the nightmares pushing out night flights,
then we should call on a permacultural developer.

A permaculturist might remember
failing economies therapeutically respond
to more cooperatively interdependent financial
and employment
and residential
and landscaped
systems,
rooted in PCD’s standard “sit-spot” position,
that we steadfastly continue to live
within our Win-Win interdependent opportunity
for further evolution.

Frustrated Business As Usual developers
are learning to step into our mutually subsidiary yuck,
with the rest of us
and our planet
and this universe of information,
reweaving a new cooperative eco-normics
as eco-logic for Win-Win climaxing destiny
of PermaCulturing Time
through smooth flight PolyCulturing Space,
place,
race,
grace.

My take on better homes and gardens,
divest of overly-dominant competing logistics
by investing in pay-it-forward co-operative strategics.

Universal Credit Union

Stepped inside Bucky’s Universal Credit Union today
to ask what could I invest in
with least risk
and greatest potential for self-optimizing return?

He invited me to sit down
to consider cooperative transactions
as our intentional understory
camouflaged within our ecotherapeutic relationships,
like summer’s warm sun emerging from winter’s cold clouds,
like noon folding out from appositional midnight,
like death enfolding regenerative life,
like life unfolding transmorphic death of Mother’s absorbent egg,
like space unfolding time’s eternally present
diastatically emergent
NOW.

So, here I sit
while economic advisor Fuller
explicates his negative corollary:
sociopathic Win-Lose strategies of domination
and dissonant relationships with oneself
others,
Earth and all her diversely lovely tribes,
is business-as-usual competitive investment
or disinvestment away from:
cooperative compassion,
ecotherapeutic justice for all,
choosing to live within mutual subsidiarity
and solidarity of purpose.

I was hoping to find and incubate a nest egg
free of unbalanced blemish,
divested of too much Yang empowerment
of competitive Western culture,
Left-brain domination of Earth’s Yin-Yin
Win-Win chronic thrival of the integrative fittest,
like permaculturist designs and cooperative lifestyles,
time’s yang/yin spirally revolving balancing ergodic act
of thermodynamic and electrogravitational balance,
rather than increasing climatic eruptions within
and without.

This Universal Credit Union follows Intelligent Cooperative Design,
synergetic,
active mutual-mentoring principles and investment policies,
Bucky responds,
supporting our logical conclusion,
our current ecological outcome,
that Yang-Left brain competitive Win-Lose cultural domination
trends already toward burning,
consuming more of Time’s resources,
enspaciating
incarnating a planetary hydraulic temporal crisis.
Our decompositional function, as a species,
has not kept pace with regenerating Earth’s Solar Systemic balanced nature.
We “educate” both producers and consumers
about most everything except how to keep these two primal
Yang with Yin flow and form and force functions in balance
as individuals
and families,
neighborhoods and indigenous communities of increasingly siloed,
isolating,
marginalizing
disrespecting
desacralizing our evolved diversity.

Those with eyes and ears to see and hear eco-centrically,
join this Universal Credit Union.
Those who see and hear best,
most ecologically,
remain most rationally
and mindfully-conscious
and cooperative economists;
rather far afield from Dominatrix
short-term stock holder incorporation,
incarnation,
enculturation about ownership without commitment,
passive-aggressive possession and dispossession.

I would very much like to invest in this natural resource we call time.
To invest in working with time,
is to divest of working against time.
To struggle with time together,
is to divest of struggling against time.
To invest in designing with time’s natural seasons and days
and consumer-producer balancing ways,
is to divest of designing against time’s intrinsic
permacultural nature.

Our Universal Credit Union’s self-optimizing ecotherapy
balances dipolar time’s negative correlational view
of full Yang as overly dominating and toxic power,
and full Yin as overly chaotic, entropic disynergetic,
disunitarianism;
lack of discernible relationship,
resonance,
resolution,
regeneration,
redemption,
lack of an on-target balance,
a positive enthymematic tipping point
wu-wei response.

Wu-wei camouflages tipping points,
trimming tabs and functional frequencies
of double Yin double-binding negative
equivalence to positive Yang empowerment.
Predicting cooperative economic optimization
follows permacultural design precedent,
balancing four essential natural functions,
each within its dynamic season:
Summer’s full production follows new life’s energetic consumption,
as winter’s decompositional design analysis
follows autumn’s falling regenerative seeds.
Ecojustice practice seeds naturally cooperative production
as ecotherapeutic temporal design and intention
informs future’s regeneration of living diversity,
evolution.

This permaculturing credit union actively loves win-win cooperation
with time.
This is our ultimate shared value,
rather than competing with illusions of commodifying time’s power
owning our time rather than possessing and dispossessing
our economic and ecological, or dislogical, choices.
Time’s power is not our ultimate shared enemy.
Time reveals its nutritious and/or toxic nature
through our relationships,
our transactions,
our actions together or divisive,
through what we absorb,
consume,
and what we produce,
what we dissonantly or confluently offer
with each communication,
day,
and life.

Perhaps only ecological orthopraxis
ultimately succeeds in our communication trials.
Given your current assets,
responsibilities,
investments,
vocations,
family,
property and cooperative political and sociotherapeutic values,
and disvalues,
all your confluences and dissonances,
all your positives and negatives,
all your loves and your hates,
all your ego power and your eco-passioned mind,
your win-win gaming assumption
that we are all invested in regenerative life together,
then what do your negative dissonant competitives
teach you about future possibilities for positive confluent cooperatives?

For each human natural system,
whether we sub-optimize with ego-centric awareness,
or synergetically optimize with eco-centric consciousness,
depends on which one we feed most nutritiously.

Never give up.
Always give down stream, whenever possible.
Time’s creative right-now interdependent risk,
for freedom and opportunity,
for justice with peace,
is Yang-future as Yin-past karmic eternal presence,
gifting each one forward toward downstream,
while looking out and up stream with gratitude
for all who have come through this DNA string
back to our shared RNA original point of time’s awareness,
meaning,
and balancing purpose of synergetic,
loving life.

We only give downstream, toward our future,
what and whom we would all hope to receive from upstream’s past.
We never give out to a hopeless past;
we always give in to our faithful present.
We never give back our gifts from time’s past.
We always give forward
to fully invest in our therapeutic future.

We soar through time’s economy together
when we avoid competing to individually fly up and out and apart.

Prime root value of Time’s economic norms
are ecologically cooperative communication
of nature’s power values toward,
or dissonant with,
self-optimizing,
regenerative sustainability of life.

Time’s form for balancing nature
evolves four-dimensionally prime information.
Information emerges synergetically dynamic,
mutually gravitating time’s spatial function,
octave and fractal polynomial prime frequencies,
and bilaterally eternal flow,
where eternal past and future
greet and meet each present moment
with mutual gratitude
balancing ego-left deduction
with eco-right proportion.

Investing in Divestment

I become confused, and I so hope it’s not just me, by the ethical landmine of divestment.

Does purging myself of toxins atone for all my sins absorbing them? Does the divestment of a negative value create a positive value, and is it at least as positive as the negative was negative?

Should I, instead, stand among my kindred stockholders in sackcloth and ashes, repenting, perhaps a little self-flagellation helped along by the bewilderment of my fellow sinners about what may seem to them as excessive as a monk transforming into a crackling flame of protest?

Does quiet divestment optimize my opportunities and responsibilities for ecologically balanced values, where negatives greet positives as ancient appositive allies, like Yang and Yin, and space and time, identity and individuation, places and spaces?

Something about the stark simplicity of divestment feels unnatural, like deliberately choosing to ponder the monochromatic negatives of grayscale tucked inside a back cover of my favorite full-color family album.

Holding a stock to protest against whatever values and disvalues may be represented by that stock seems like a lively example of talking talk without walking in the way I am suggesting to others. Divestment is to mentoring as stockholder action is to lecturing others to not do as you have ever done yourself. Why not divest and then send out a memo:

Dear Fellow Publicans and Sinners,

Just want you to know I sold off my stock in Toxic Fuels and Chemicals, Incorporated, for the best price I could get in exchange for an investment in a poisonously unsustainable lack of future for our kids. I claim no moral virtue for doing what is so clearly in my own best interest, just because it also happens to be in your best interest as well. Nor do I mean to gloat over my continuing investments in self-serving corporate structures, rather than cooperative and sustainable, inclusive, and, by the way, icing on the cake, economically buoyant and resilient investment opportunities.

You see, when I finally realized why I want to divest from extractive short-term high risk markets, it suddenly came as quite the epiphany that I want to take that money and invest it in cooperative, long-term low risk and locally nutritious and sustainable enterprises. Rich opportunity and value, indeed!

Apparently eco-logical reinvestment policies and procedures are much less value-ambiguous than divestment quagmires, not only ethically and environmentally, but financially and biologically and sociologically, and, oh yes, teleologically too. The intersection of my experience’s meaning and our future’s purpose, to remember we all got into this incarnational mess together and we will each get out of it what we bring into clearing it up for ourselves and future generations.  As for the rest, it’s just a messy commodity investment confusion, searching for a wiser Left and Right brained balanced economy.

Namaste and Peace Out to all fellow travelers,

G. O. Dillenbeck
