Belief v No Thanks

We believe in truths we empathically
ecopolitically
humanely
nutritionally trust.

We grow therapeutic faith in empathic trusts
too peacefully pregnantly beautiful
to not become true, one day,
this day, if at all possible.

We actively distrust those competing truths
within potentially cooperative powers
we multiculturally love to hate.

We can not not believe in/with  ecological truths
of/for
deeply etched nutritionally resonant trusts.

If we assume Earth, including Anthros,
is biosystemically fully invested in cooperatively healthy climate systems
and disinvesting away from dissonating and unstable toxins,
what each of us believes and disbelieves in
becomes more a question
of what and whom we ecopolitically/ecologically believe and disbelieve with.

Final Operatic Scores

Of all vocations calling each of us
perhaps it is this final ecopolitical stage
most arduous.

To reflect with full integrity,
both Left dominant hubris history
with Right-recessed notnot full incarnation,
those unfulfilled promise valleys of aptic time
lost to Ego’s yangish self-promoting memory,
past vocations sequentially emerging transubstantiations,
pregnantly nurtured with Left/ElderRight bicameral balance.

But, balancing or notnot yet,
to reconsider one’s sins,
both consummated and omitted,
bringing slow-growth ballast to one’s enculturation of grace,
both those healthier blessings fully consumed
as therapeutically strived for regenerate production,
yet also known only through past struggles stretching ego-compassion’s constitutions,
declarations of Self+Other incorporating cooperative interdependence,
laughter’s miraculous love moments
best shared, yes,
but yet bittersweet nutrition alone,
remembering what lives best not forgotten.

This final vocation,
to merge our previous lives together
with those we hope to follow.

Planting Tree Therapy

Why do we aim hot hate at each other
causing further cracks and craters in dried-up deserted skin,
when we could choose to heal and recreate
formerly fertile forested and grassland soils
to filter and rejuvenate subclimates of therapy?

ReCreating springs and filters of and for clean rich waters,
together restoring healthy air
to breath more deeply together
as we plan Earth’s further fun and happier rejuvenation,
yet another year, and season,
decade and millennium.

We retain subclimates of good cooperative potential
so urgently needed.
We have no time left for guns and missiles.
We have so much labor-neglected waste and humane depreciation
for machetes and rakes and shovels.
No time left for any isms short of multiculturally rich Earthism.

For this we emerged
and to this center we each return
happier together,
more prosperous,
co-mentoring ecopolitical therapists.

Those who choose revenge and terrors
do not believe they have been given a choice;
that they have been born into a mess
out of which they can only compete to explode first and best.
And, who among us
has never known this victim of Earth’s vast apathy despair
and darkly smoldered for revenge?

These are those most worthy of catching this compelling vision
for co-redemptive healing of their landscapes and nurturing rivers,
within as without,
purifying our formerly chaste seas and skies
all perpetually
polyculturally
polypathically
revolving around and with one another
in hope of further resonant resolutions,
fertile regeneration.

Pathologies of eviL
no more or less
than healthy Live as spelled-out
swelled-up
in reverse.

JustUs Fundamentalists

Said the JudeoChristian Fundamentalist (JCF)
to the Islamic Fundamentalist (IF),
We began building our ego-nesting sensory receptors
learning to RightBrain distinguish Self from BenignOther,
sensory nomial v binomial fundamental bipolar trust/mistrust memory.

Corresponded the IF to the JCFs,
Ah yes, as we LeftBrain relate to integrate self-health
to and within radical-alien pathological distrust.

JCF: Yet YHWH made all of us
to mature in our capacities for self-health regeneration.

IF: And Allah never loses sight of fundamentally radical sensory nutrient ecologies
of and for regenerative DNA/RNA continuity cultural strings
of Self+GreatElderOther designing memory;
where exegesis of logic breeds eisegetical analogies;
co-ecological dialectals,
algorithmic analogs.

JCF: Where we find absence of active love,
cognitive/affective dissonance,
between trusting RightBrain and mistrusting Left,
we learn hyperactive monoculturally stressed distrust
of a jealous god within.

IF: Yes, don’t we?
A feverish emotive hatred
concomitant with anger/fear motivated belief systems,
stirring up holy revenge for marginal powers of mere EgoMe
and further cycles of concomitant terrors.

Meanwhile, Nature/Spirit Gods and Goddesses of Earth’s ReGeneration
predict a multicultural bicameral coup
of great and small co-empathic trusting revolutions
emerging our climate of ecological nodus,
difficulty of difficulties,
climate sin of omitted climatic sins,
dissonance about transitioning dissonance,
fear of fear ourselves,
distinction of prime relational difference
between positive language for ecopolitical health
and negative aversions to verbal and behavioral pathology.

Alas,
I am a simple Taoist
trained to always choose
All the Above
as Below,
so what might we know together
enough to find our better humors?

It is when we can laugh together at our shared fears
that we know we have conquered them
more than they could ever conquer us
together

Within as Without our Polypathic Nodus,
where dissonant shockwaving chaos of Ego’s revenging terrors
meets and greets and struggles with
complex waves of Earth’s all-absorbing laughters.

Terrorism Writ Small

Coldly calculated
deliberately intended
terror-inducing violence,
physical and/or verbal,
is motivated by anger and fear,
but also sometimes, on a larger scale,
by beliefs that vengeance can be,
or at least eventually become,
ecopolitically justified means
toward an egocentrically healthy outcome.

Corollary: Nihilism could help me one day
feel and think and breathe OK.

Anyone who has been properly raised by four,
or perhaps even two, teenagers,
each of whom believes it is his or her,
or whatever in-between, duty
to update your more cooperative networking skills,
hopefully will have learned
that both belief in vengeful nastiness
and its nihilistic corollary
are errors in ecopolitically healthy
and correct judgment.

In Our Dotage

What do you dote on?
Who do you dote with, if anyone?

“Dote” is an old-time word for ruminate,
to dwell on and within,
to become absorbed by and with.

Then there is also “antidote”.

Let’s imagine that our massive events and entertainment media
were to merge into an eventertainment industry,
hypnotised and hypnotising
to dote on negative events
in which we explore ourselves and others as victims in some dissonant way,
suffering anthro-doting creations not yet present when champion creator god
looked and saw that we smell good.

This way of empathizing with others
stepping into our co-awareness of humanity,
discovering both my and our identities as victims of abuse and neglect,
terror and malignant apathy,
also evolves reverent wonder and awe
recovering
discovering
uncovering champion creator antidotes,
new ecopolitical gods and goddesses
ways and means
for and of
images and dreams of crevices and cracks
filling with peaceful justice
fragrant with lemon-scented sustaining mercy,
lavender of love,
in four-dimensional organic color
following outlines of days when healthy therapeutic news was good
and bad,
but all agreed,
normatively good was green below with blue above
in yellow light
from which we came to champion through each night.

If we are victim doters
then antidoting champions too
to see full color stretching identities
of me through organic you,
both victim and larger self-potentiating champions,
heroic powers cooperating our more positive psychology,
evaporating our too negative dotage,
together.

Ta(0)-zen Climate Healthy PolyPaths

The more continuous from past through future our ego-stretching identity becomes,
the more god/dess-humane omnipotent emerges
our original polypathic multicultural intent
and future climate health practice.

Consilience,
co-empathic democratic trust,
between religious faith systems,
each transubstantiating interdependent spiritual dynamics among ourselves,
we call syncretism.

Reconciling trust between ecopolitical paradigms as health-thru-dying networks of dialectal values,
transliterating our natural ionic,
bionic,
and ergodic rhythmed dynamics,
we call integrative synergy.

Energy,
as polypathic space
equivocating coincidental co-arising
bilateral time,
equivalent dipolar images, consciousness
within inductive-empathic notnot polynomial balance.

Yes, all 3D Space and 1DipolarTime are interdependently relative,
but, no, not so normatively relative that
c-squared enlightenment could be any more or less than Eulerian Prime Geo/Eco/Ego DiPolar Systemic Relationship e-squared,
with slow-grow (0)-Core/Care/Sum/Soul MultiCultural Interest/Investment
Fractal-Acidic-Convexing flow-forming regenerate Order.

With such reconciling consilience in (0) mind as (1) body,
it feels increasingly important, even urgent,
to remember that I am most fully Divine Energy
when I fully comprehend we grow health-reconciling active trusters
doing the best we can to democratically re-gather
as NotNot Gods–Wise Elder Nurturing Gaia Goddesses.

We feel primal therapeutic multicultural recalling-incarnating-evolving corollaries:
God is discontinuously me with belief in you,
also half Divine and half Humanizing, humaneing,
wise cooperative regeneration,
becoming and notnot being words-within as informing-without.

We recall intelligent truth as beauty-design genius
across multicultural fields
and paradigms
and rhetorical frames
and landscaped climates of ecotherapeutic health resonance
overpowering dissonant suboptimal underproductive pathologies
to become reconciling polypaths,
eco-consiliating residents of Earth consciousness.

Political Science becomes, then, cooperative studies
of and for ecopolitically cooperate-reconciling powers-with,
not so much corporate-competing suboptimally losing powers-over,
less than omnipotent eco-power balancing intent
stuck in Business As Usual economic practice.

Ecopolitical powers both evolve from and contribute to
future climate health of multicultural regenerativity
as powers of cooperation absorb mono-teleological,
mono-theistic,
mono-enculturing power-over intent
and capital-hoarding economic non-transactional absence of healthy practice.

It may be helpful to recall investment,
whether time or money, preferably both,
implies hope for fertile outcomes.
Just as science emerged from nature-spirit religious system investments,
to become an independent,
yet also interdependent, anthrocentric learning system,
so too religious experience emerged from eco/geometric rhythmed
philosophically rich words about why continuing cooperative phenomena feel
and think
and taste of richer healthy nutrition,
and discontinuous-competing distrustful phenomena
speak of hate and mutual disgust and anger and fear of godless eternal wilting starvation stink and death
in hellfires of solar great transitional climate regeneration.

Dear Fellow Facilitators of Healthy Climates

When Einstein was asked, by a journalist, how he came up with the theory of relativity,
he had no audience for talking about his use of Thought Experiments,
more or less what a group discernment facilitator might use to frame a climate of respectful inquiry.
But, on this occasion Einstein said,
“I ignored an axiom.”

Perhaps this is part of what we all do as we approach political and economic anomalies;
anomalies grown so hugely powerful that they already adversely influence the lives of some population
enough to invite us inside to help sift through our mutually-held mess.

Here are four axioms that it might be helpful for us to encourage our mutual explorers of resonant resolutions to temporarily set aside.
You will notice they are all dualistic axioms,
easily ignored by heuristically pretending we live in more of a nondual co-arising ecological climate.

Axiom 1: When I say “spirit,” I mean anything not of nature.
What is natural is what is not spiritual.

Let’s pretend these two refer to one universal ecosystem,
the same planet,
one holistic psychological ecosystem,
so what is spiritually dynamic is also naturally dynamic,
like agape and eros,
but two different lenses, or dialectals,
for juxtapositional purposes only;
not because there is a real world difference within a river
or a tree
or even your mother, or yourself,
or a terrorist, or a fascist, or a….

Axiom 2: When I say “mind,” I mean that of ego identity that is not body. What is organic body is what is not metaphysical mind.

Let’s pretend that where one shows up, so does the other,
just like your ecological spirit and your biological nature.
From this nondual perspective we may find it easier to see economic intent of mindbodies
acting out our political power investment/divestment purposes,
and vice versa.
Politics of embodied power become reassociated with economics of cooperative investments and more competitive divestments of value in Other,
whether people, places, or things,
all of which are now spirit-nature ecosystems
with an increasingly transparent ecological development trajectory.

Axiom 3: When I say “climate health,”
whether internal or external climate,
I mean anything not climatic pathology.
What is pathological, dissonant, chaotic in nature
does not participate in the spirit of cooperative, resonantly complex therapeutic health.

To ignore such a deeply held axiom of DNA-regenerativity itself,
I find it helpful to use an oxymoronic frame,
a climate that assumes we all RealTime live within diverse environments of pathological health,
some significantly more marginal than others.
These two together allow us a grand heuristic spectrum of both opportunity and risk,
to see functional dynamics of monoculturing pathology trends
within dipolar health as integrity,
already explicit issues and already implicit as deviant from healthy potential.

Framing pathologies as harbingers of healthier alternatives
allows us to look simultaneously at current climate risks
as also speaking of future climate opportunities.

Axiom 4: When I say “rhetorical frame” or “dialectal”
I mean to distinguish this time and space from a larger ecopolitical climate that has become painfully pathological.

Why couldn’t a rhetorical climate speak of both how our mindbodies experience health
and how our nature-spirits sweat about internal and external climate pathologies?
Sounds like good compost for a Thought Experiment,
and maybe a cooperative grant proposal,
sent from one set of co-intelligent climate investors
to another, with deeper ecopolitical power pockets.

Multicultural Political Health Design

I have had a highly redundant,
one might even choose polypathic,
graduate studies experience
spanning my adult life to date.

This began with a semester of Philosophy.
Just enough to learn I wanted something more experiential,
a more communitarian environment of Applied Metaphysics, perhaps.

So then I began, and soon completed, studies for the Master of Divinity degree,
which has an arcane ring to it,
but basically the title implies just the opposite of what degree candidates most hope for,
to be Mastered by Divine Love,
to economically and politically operate as an icon of all-inclusive ecological love.

Those receiving the M.Div.
hoped to apply their ecopolitical science of empathic trust,
our mutual Basic Attendance,
to life as liturgical theology
or at least teleologically benign song and dance;
to be the love today we proclaim for tomorrow,
rooted in our humane-divine nondual nature-spirit compost
of ecopolitical peace-integrity with justice-truth becoming;
pilgrimage,
The Ways of Divinity,
co-mastering together.

Fortunately,
when I landed in a rural Colorado parish,
the beat-down aging poor mutually-marginalizing Mexican and Anglo faith community
invited me to reconsider further investment in administering sacraments
disconnected from ecopolitically healthy outcomes of empathic trust.
To continue as individuals,
families,
and as a multiculturally rich community
of mutually holonic,
respected,
cooperative,
trusting co-empathic faith,
we needed more of a Total Makeover,
a gut rehab,
an economic design to fuel our continuing collective political incarnation
into this Beloved Therapeutic EcoPolitical Community
we each long to belong within,
as integrity without.

Responding to apparent hope for stronger organizing
and planning
and budgeting
and ecopolitical design and implementation,
and evaluation and socioeconomic change skills,
I accepted an invitation into a double Master of Public Administration and Community [Economic] Development degree program,
primarily taught by PhDs in Political Science;
my first among too many loves as an undergraduate at Michigan.

Here I learned, once again, that politically correct administration of empathic trusting,
sometimes mistrusting,
and even actively distrusting totalitarian political relationships
historically and culturally thrive
when “follow economic wealth”
also means “responsibly invite multicultural political as personal health”
internally economic as externally political,
nondual internal-external co-arising ecological landscapes of nutrition.

Humane ecopolitical landscapes are ruled by active hope
and cooperative potential within
as divinely landscaped multicultural ecology without,
polypathic faith in love’s synergetic trust
and discovery
and curious regenerativity of enlightening imagination.

The U.S. Declaration of interdependent Independence and Constitution were born of Enlightenment CoOperative EcoPolitics.

Applied ecopolitical science looked a great deal like applied theology,
or at least teleology, healthy purpose, therapeutic cultural meaning.
Democracy develops fragrant discernment through co-empathic multicultural trust,
moving toward inclusive resonant resolutions of complexly interdependent ecopolitical issues,
risks,
opportunities,
social investments and historical-cultural divestments,
intending improved climate health
and less climates of pathology,
whether too hyperactively warm
or too near to flat-line fading into freezing despair.

My issues with effectively developing ecopolitical health,
by suppressing dis-ecological pathologies,
past failures of achieving a truly multiculturally abundant history of sustainable healthy climates,
soon led to confusion about a great cultural divide
between two vocational labels:
1. Political Scientist, and
2. Permacultural Designer.

This great cultural divide appeared front and center
more recently when I became certified as a Permaculture Designer.
It helped me to look more carefully at the functional intent of “political”
as compared to “permacultural” outcome goals and use-of-power objectives.
As I thought more about how our normal day-to-day scientific investment in learning about power includes learning primal differences between multicultural designs
and monocultural monopolies of totalitarian mistrust leaning toward distrust chaos,
dissonance,
then polypathic confluence of design and pattern correlations emerge as the compost,
the food,
the fodder of our ecological as ecopolitical learning enterprise.

“Permaculture” was chosen to distinguish perennially designed
and democratically self-governing landscapes
from more traditional annual economies of “Agriculture” business,
with more of a replant, spray, and harvest of chemically treated quasi-edibles,
nutritionally malignant regarding fertile health of Earth’s soil,
leading to well-established suboptimal health-trends of ecopolitical Business As Usual.

Permaculture designs are for and on and about and composed of information rooted in past positive polyculturally balanced community landscape outcomes.
These polyculturing ecopolitical landscapes began as maps of nurturing health plans for exteriors only,
like gardens and farms and river banks.
But, this organic economic and political view of power-with ecological balancing climates
has moved from exterior to increasingly interior ecopolitical health landscapes,
like bicameral full-octave nature-spirit nondual deep learning healthy multicultural mindbody landscapes, dialogues, stories, evolutions.

A political power relationship of healthy nutritional economic/ecologic design
pulls together the implied normativity of Political Sciences comparing unhealthy totalitarian powers producing outcomes of mayhem and terror
to democracies intended to nurture co-empathic cooperative trust.
If designers using permacultural ecopolitical principles and procedures for healthier polycultural climates,
then we are also scientists exploring transactional-relational nutrient-power principles
and investment/divestment procedures for sustaining multicultural health designs and sustaining power-with development,
co-investment in planning,
and harvesting health outcomes rooted in (0)-sum Earth-centric climates
of polypathic ecopolitical health.

Permaculture Design Certification more or less brings me back full circle,
where graceful articulation of applied metaphysics
invites active,
relentless pursuit of ecopolitical deep learning
mutually cooperative faith communities
within bicameral heart and lungs and brain and guts and limbs and genetic roots
as cooperative Beloved Communities incarnating together without.

People of radically cooperative faith,
profound empathic ecopolitical trust,
ask what and whom you believe WITH,
while those of a more fundamentalist-exclusive faith,
including active mistrusts of alien faith systems as more or less idolatrous,
ask what and whom you believe IN.

If you believe in evolutionary cosmological processes
that you do not believe also believe in you,
cooperatively together,
then you are less likely to achieve healthy nutritional ecopolitically sustainable outcomes,
while you are waiting for SomeOne Other
to grace you with His Transcendent truth-beauty presence.

If you believe with processes of ecosystemic health,
then you have joined the evolutionary permacultural partisans of healthy regenesis,
wherein lies all evidence of creation,
rather than nihilistic monocultural nothing.
Then again, you might conceivably believe in both,
which is a highly polypathic wu wei pilgrimage–
a razor’s edge teleology of enculturing history.
