On Christian Evangelical Charismatic Republican Futures

I grew up with rural Michigan white red-neck evangelical root systems.
These did not always feed my multicultural self/other liberation of the GLBTQ subcultural root system
for regeneratively healthy instincts,
yet I learned to survive within this fundamentalist-alien-straight Christian White anthro-culturally supremacist climate of heterosexuality
not understood as a fully regenerative multiculturally organic sexuality,
most certainly inclusive of GLBTQ,
among full-octave color rainbows of exegetically trusted truth
with beautiful ecopolitical dynamics.

My staunchly farmerish fundamentalist-nutritionist Christian parents
would no more know what to do with a Donald Trump as a Presidential Republican National Party Candidate
to become a White Male Republican Christian Preferably-Rural Fundamentalist EcoPolitical President of the United States,
running against incumbent General Dwight Eisenhower,
however I think he probably would not even have been an appropriate topic for polite, much less nutritional
as integratively-spiritually appropriate for healthy developmental conversation.

Despite these agrarian Republican root-systemic memories
during my ecopolitically developing GLBTQ adolescence,
not a lot of people have asked
what I have seen and heard and smelled
within the approximately 200 years of tension
between a Republican/Elitist-WinLose NatureSpirit EcoPolitical Conservatism,
hoping to win for ego’s embodied nature
even if they must thereby lose our multiculturing spiritual-experiential Salvation,
thereby a dark anger/fear mark against WinWin regenerative ecological health.

Today, I see this continuing Republican tendency
to distance economic and political elites
from our more humble,
yet somehow not too fearful-angry,
maybe touched by paranoia,
especially about the natural supremacy of heterosexually ecopolitical parents,
refusing to see possibilities for multiculturally ecological parenting as more optimally spiritually-nutritionally rooted in Jesus’ Creation Story TimeLine.

By unremarkably co-arising dipolar contrariness,
the currently prevailing Democratic national through local nutrition strategy
of looking for opportunities of and for multicultural trust-building,
to permaculturally broaden a shared ecopolitical ecology of health
becoming together ego/eco bicameral-binary empowering
in a more dynamic healthy kind of GLBTQ thru Z kind of way.

While the historically unthinkable Republican Nominated Choice
labeled Donald Trump,
represents a remarkably not-Christian fundamentalist conundrum of a non-choice,
his own sense of supremacist entitlement
to interpret and prophecy fools of self-condemning hypocrisy
carries some resonance
for those premillennial die-hard evangelical White Republicans
where ecopolitical faith
is rooted in becoming stronger
than those who disagree with us,
while Hillary Clinton’s embodiment of Democrat
cultivates co-empathic trust
among constituencies feeling disconnected from multicultural promise
of healthy democratic inclusion of diversity
as an intrinsically therapeutic positive
for ecological climate-healthywealthy outcomes,
more ecotherapeutic
than the more anthro-elitist monoculturing ecopolitics,
LeftBrain way too Male TestosteroneThymine Dominant elitism
of Old School Rural White 1950s Michigan Republicanism.

Today’s Republican has upstaged Fundamentalism
with more excessively climatic Rabid Paranoid Terrorist
WinLose-politically and economically preferred proclivities,
but not quite a full-blown climate LoseLose death-wish rabidity
searching out invisible Climate Win prospects for regenerative health,
while nakedly investing in
further dissonant discomforting cognitive-affective suboptimally degenerative suffering multiculturally rainbow-rooted DNA/RNA ribonucleic systems.

Donald Trump was chosen over other nutritional-enspiriting alternatives,
chosen to lead through condemning those unlike him
as false prophets of hypocrisy and cunning
toward unhealthy liberating multicultural power-sharing intents,
sometimes vengefully judgmental
of us lesser non-elites,
now both evangelical White non-elite would-be farmers and feminists
on around the growing rainbow of multiculturing margins,
on through the cystosine-nurturing more LeftRight ecobalanced half of the U.S. adult nature relations,
and just as oxymoronic to be an Evangelical Christian Republican
as it is to be a Transgender Republican.

For Jesus of Nazareth, the poor and marginalized,
homeless and hungry,
and especially their children,
were more sympathetic comrades than Monoculturing Elitist Pharisees
they were sadusees, too, like us right now,
having been robbed of our parents’ Republican Supremacist paranoid-competitive belonging,
nurturing ecopolitical as ecological longing,
no longer deep learning paranoia
for interior and exterior ecopathologies of YHWHGod’s unkind impersonal
lack of omnipotent love,
our unresolved theological problem of evil NonRepublican NonChristians,
and why similar rainy outdoor wedding crappy days
fall on fully invested Republican Christians,
who never quite fully believe in the power of a personally-invested God the Good Father
in exactly the same unreflected way
from that nightmare’s dream on through death’s dualdark portal.

What happens now that our Republican EmpireBuilder
has become seen with too-naked vulnerability
to collectively hide our own egocentric predative paranoia from ourselves,
fear and anger about radically full-speciating inclusion
of ecopolitical Democrats,
regenerating empowerment’s healthier climates of pronoia liberation?

Perhaps positive psychology
as therapeutic ecopolitical judgment
on behalf of mutual help
rather than continuing to seek power
through mutually condemning judgments,
competitive WinLose ecopolitical choices,
rebirthing faith in higher WinWin power
optimizing Earth as Tribal Home,
no longer anawim of our own optimally organic Body of Christ potential.

Christians
truly believing in Christ’s continuing empathic trust  in eco-redemptive physical/mental health.

Prime Spiral of Climate Health Dynamics

Beck and Cowan, with Graves,
wrote the Spiral Dynamics of memes,
or cognitive-affective enculturation climates
of Left-Right as Yang-Yin spiraling equivalence,
or maybe not,
I’m still not quite sure
how much I am seeing and hearing into their words.

For example, from page 56,
I was going through their evolving octave of historical colors
of humane-divine time,
beginning with
“Beige-a state of nature”
“Purple-[spiritually dynamic] mysterious [sometimes enlightening] and frightening”
“Red-[LeftYang dominant] tough and dangerous like a [WinLose revolutionary] jungle”
“Blue-directed by a higher [healthy regenerative v pathologically degenerative, decompositional ecopolitical as ecological] power”
“Orange-full of viable [optimally WinWin cooperative-integrative] alternatives”
“Green- shared [climate health v pathology] habit[at] of all humanity [within, as all of Earth’s nature-spirit ecosystems without]”
“Yellow-at risk of chaotic [climate health] collapse [into further climate pathologies]”
“Turquoise- a single living [0-sum octave PrimeMetric ecosystemic] entity”
an opportunity for complex multicultural
ecopolitical
ecological
cooperative
network evolution development,
where ‘yellow’ paranoid yin-repressed RightBrain depressives
“learn how to be [pathology of anger/fear] free
but also [regenerative-health] principled
seek[ing] the [bicameral turquoise Tao] order
beneath [and deeply within, and above, both out and in, midway,
inbetween, wu wei] Earth’s apparent [cosmological dualdark notnot co-gravitational] chaos.

Maybe there is something in the water
I take with my inhaled herbal medicines
producing such rich resonance of healthy fragrance
with spiraling ecopolitically developing multicultural color strings of remembering
co-empathic trust’s evolution
through regenerate humane/divine enculturation
emerging Ego/Eco nurturing timelessly co-present ecoconsciousness
of Tao-Tipping Points of nutritional v toxic climate experiential times.

Memes Revolve EcoPolitical Health History

I recently revisited a fruitful redundancy conversation between Richard Dawkins’ on ‘memes,’ conjoined with Spiral Dynamics, by Don Edward Beck and Christopher Cowan. During this reread, I noticed connections between Clare Graves’ evolving spirals, Julian Jaynes ethological theory of bicameral mindbody development, perhaps the more nutritional behavioral-neural roots of Positive Psychology.  Mapping all these together as one interdependent ecopolitical evolutionary empowerment of ecoconscious Right with ecologically language and deductive Left, Spiral Dynamics looks both newly refined, but also disturbingly redundant of Buckminster Fuller’s Synergy, informed by William Thurston’s and Gregori Perelman’s (et. al., Group Theorists) 4 prime bilateral dimensions of spacetime and  (0) soul dipolar co-arising theorems, respectively.

However, the esoteric octave an fractal rhythms of nature and math beg for more immediate Climate Health and Earth Rights economic, ecological, and political empowerment. In Spiral Dynamics speak: How do we fast-forward into Turquoise, the land of Milk and Honey Enlightenment of (0) Zen Interdependence, balancing holonic empty-null universally diastatic sets of memes, or nomials, binomials, polynomials, health regenerative trends, refining less economic-ecologic-political-social-cultural-psychological-biological pathology, as we progress, develop, more maturely optimize our regenerative-integrative polypathic DNA/RNA  folding/unfolding climate structures.

Memes, like genes, are regenerative, self/other nondual replicating nutritional patterns. In Buckminster Fuller’s terminology, genes are about convex-physical universe, while memes are their concave-metaphysical ecopolitical-ecological co-arising nonduality. Genes produce physical things that can be nouned, labeled, nomialed. Memes produce metaphysical relationships of  health-regenerate power-with cooperation and/or power-over competitive monoculturing pathologies of nutritional imbalance, climate imbalance, landscape and paradigmatic relational imbalance, cognitive-affective dissonance. These operate at the individual, species, and meta-cultural interdependent exterior ecopolitical climate levels of endo/ecto-symbiotic evolution, within as without, concave metaphysical as convex physical ecologies of mindbodies.

Memes have integrative viral reproductive potential for health and for appositionally bilateral pathologies, not enough, too much, too soon, too late for resonantly redundant mapping onto global ecoconsciousness, co-empathic trust/distrust—confluence of exegetically etched abundant light between dualdark extremes of either-or LeftBrain dominance. Both interdependent developmental stages of LeftBrain development, and language-empty Elder Right hemispheres together dipolar co-arise Turquoising/UltraViolet climate health balance.

In previous selective readings from Beck and Cowan’s Spiral Dynamics, I had skipped (pp. 30-33) “Genes and Memes: Circuit Riders on the DNA.” No such bad luck this time. What follows is direct quote, with all my handwritten notes inserted in brackets, drawing in the larger ecopolitical-ecological climate health map drawn with Jaynes, and Fuller, and Bateson, and Thomas Kuhn evolutionary influences.

“[W]hat biochemical genes are to the DNA [thermodynamic balance prime relational fractal-function], memes are to our psycho-[eco]cultural ‘DNA.’ Genes are the information [and exforming] units of our physical nature derived from genetic contributions of mom and dad and properties inherited from our species [borrowing phylogenic properties from even older species,

borrowing functional digestive/nutritional health v pathology ecopolitical properties from even older plant species, spaces and places in time both regenerative and decomposing into bilateral past/future cause/effect encoding meme-ories]. Memes are born, Csikszentimihalyi notes, ‘when the human nervous system reacts to [learns from] an experience.’ (Evolving Self, p. 120) They are the information [exformation storage and labels, icons and ionic-bionic function] units in our collective consciousness and transport their [health/pathology sensory climate/chemistry] views across our [ecoconscious co-identified co-empathic] minds [with still-learning bodies].”

Cooperative Therapeutic Analysis

I’m sure it was Rob Brezsny, again,
who first pointed out to me
that Western psychoanalysts give priority to pathologies within family relationships,
while Eastern analysts, more embedded in philosophies of interdependence,
begin with what nurturing health dynamics we can find
within those same family relationships,
for it is these,
after all,
that we want to bring forward into our love development,
so we need not worry so much,
so we might in fact de-fuse the ballistics of repressive anger management,
suppression of fears about our inevitably mortal failures
with a healthier positive ecopolitical consciousness
of cooperative evolutionary natural norms and outcomes.

Family and more extended environmental paranoia pathologies
are the warp weaving through our mutually co-arising pronoia norms
of a healthy individual, family, and a functioning/dysfunctional society
enculturing future generations in how to deep learn from Earth’s goods
and deep learn what climate and landscape and relational pathologies
teach us about when and where healthy economics
negatively deviated from optimally wealthy,
multiculturally regenerative,
ecologics,
our enculturation of sacred ecopolitical
cooperatively interdependent
therapeutic interelationships,
evolving revolutionarily away from overly competitive LeftBrain dominant
Business As Usual as if this were always negative,
rather than, more helpfully, notnot yet positively balanced
toward a more multiculturally sustainable family, individual, and global eco/bio/geosystem.

Evolutionary acclimation of a species,
of a society,
of a family,
of an individual,
proclaims our interdependent historical enculturation.
Comprehensive pronoia analysis already recognizes
all living nature’s history witnesses and records internally metaphysical climates,
sensory feelings,
and physical exterior landscapes,
nondually co-arising reiterative revolutions together.

What feels like a profound pronoia revolution inside
our whirlwind of great paradigmatic enculturing climatic storms,
when analyzed from outside,
is also the new normal pro/para-normed day to day coop/(0)-sum compete acclimation balance,
karmic evolution of who we have become up to this day,
to be reviewed this time-empty dream-feeling ruminating night
of timeless from-within RightBrain decomposition
of LeftBrain from-without analysis of personal as environmental ethology,
purpose messages speaking from DNA’s recombinantly interdependent string of enculturing history,
separating out cognitive/affective dissonance
from cognitive/affective LeftRight confluence,
healthy primal relationship of ecopolitical thermodynamics.

Metaphysical thought,
like physical reality,
is measured with and against the cause/effect lattice network of time.
To know another is to sense another.
The essence of movement that we sense
we exegetically cognize as ecologically ethological ecopolitical
cause-effect-recause linear, but also cyclical,
regenerative up to some tipping point
analysis exploring risks of decompositional imbalance
of future healthy ecopolitical resource distribution and consumption
across our passage of health-devouring and pathology-absorbing time.

Abstractions of metaphysical analysis
work more symmetrically geometrically balanced and harmonic,
more rationally,
for group and game and evolutionary reiterative patterned-rhythmed models.
And with these
we forget our own, and other’s, and Elders’ compassionate hearts and mindbodies as health v pathology bicamerally enculturation biosystems,
each of us with a far too real-time passion for healthier,
more cooperative rules of legal and moral and ethical
and nutritional and healthy and fertile ecopolitical play.

Ego, in bilateral ecosystemic principle,
a self-regenerating (0)-sum economic and politically empowered nutritional flow potential Empty soul,
decomposer,
processor of time’s evolution toward health
and away from global pathologies
AND
yet each ego also interdependent
within this WinWin healthywealthy organic purpose
within Earth’s healthy regenerate fertile deep learned meanings
of light with dualdark cosmology,
of uracil and thymine with double-binding cytosine
of positive ionic iconic c-squared light function with reverse double-binding dipolarity,
accessible to analytical decomposition of both reason and feeling,
empathic trust of pronoia,
understory to dyspeptic distrust of paranoia.

But, what is written across each natured mind
is also spoken midway across each hearted body,
that this fractured interdependent wholeness of Earth,
and our Ego-identity within these healthing/pathologizing subclimates of Earth,
is all together fully implicated within our (0)-sum organic ecopolitical analysis
of healthy ethological regenerativity,
actively hoping for fertile climates of and for positive solidarity outcomes,
predicated within our implicating (0) mindbody
inherited from Elders also doing their best
with interdependent-Left as empty/holonic-Right
bilateral-bicameral children of ecobalancing temporal climates,
pronoia normed landscapes and health-climates,
with paranoia cognitive-affective mistrusting dissonant understories.

White hats can only winwin

Deep Learning Evolution of Learning

From Thomas Kuhn’s “The Road Since Structure,” pp. 225-228, with supplemental commentary in brackets.

Four essential elements of my developed position are…to be found there [in C. G. Hempel, Fundamentals of Concept Formation in Empirical Science]:

scientific [and other language-learning] terms are regularly learned in [positively rewarded] use;

that [fertile, nutritious] use involves the [not dis-ecological] description of one or another [regenerative gestalt-universe subclimate] paradigmatic example of nature’s [experiential landscape of external] behavior;

a number of such examples are required for the [evolutionary rumination, relearning] process to work [principle of polymorphic quasi-redundant reiteration]]

and, finally, when the [acclimation] process is complete, the language or concept learner has acquired not only [teleological, purposive, contextually interdependent] meanings

but also, inseparably [nondually], [ethological, ecological regenerative purpose of nature ourselves] generalizations about nature.

[confluent with larger multicultural, bicameral ecoconsciousness as positively deviant in comparison with a priori consilient network states of comprehending self/other exegetical-interrelational information]

“The [Deep Learning] Theoretician’s Dilemma”…[also referring to Hempel] was how to preserve [sustain] a principled distinction between what he then still called ‘observational’ [experiential, ontological] and ‘theoretical terms’ [explanatory, contextual and teleologically ecological]. When, a few years later still, he began instead to describe the distinction as one between ‘antecedently available terms [variables, rhythms, patterns, relationships, memes, reified nomials, language choices] and those learned together, with[in] a new [reforming, retermed experience repurposing language within its multiculturally natural ecological universe of remembered thought/feeling healthy/pathology experientially fertile optimization] theory, I could see him as having implicitly adopted a developmental [evolving ecologic of ecopolitical truth/beauty/ as health/wealth] historical stance.

But what I primarily owe him [Hempel] is not from the realm of ideas. Rather it is the experience of working [learning] with a philosopher [researcher, explorer, traveler, pilgrim] who cares more about arriving at [ecological] truth than about winning [ecopolitical] arguments.

…[T]he historical [evolutionary] approach I joined in developing owed as much to difficulties encountered by the [uneco]logical-empiricist [dis-integrative, not syncretic, un-unitarian, notnot interdependent, dualistically reified philosophical] tradition as it did to [experiential revolutions within the] history of science [and other forms of transcultural learning].

Carnap emphasized untranslatability [logically incommensurable] as I do…. One language might permit statements that could not be translated into another, but anything properly classified as scientific [ecologically systemic health/pathology confluent, fertile, internal/external landscape consilient] knowledge could be both stated and scrutinized in either language, using the same [multiculturally interdependent numeric-calculating] method and gaining [outcoming] the same [experientially calibrated pattern] result. The factors responsible for the use of one language rather than another were irrelevant both to the results achieved and, more especially, to their [acclimative] cognitive status.

This aspect of Carnap’s position has never been available to me. Concerned from the start with the development of knowledge [language, learning, ecoconsciousness] I have seen each stage in the evolution of a given field as built—not quite squarely—upon its predecessor, [yet also interdependently coincidental bilaterally within an ecopolitical elite population sharing a specialized, reified theoretical gestalt-dialectal ecology] the earlier stage providing the problems, the data, and most of the concepts [exegetically] prerequisite to the emergence of the [revolutioning eisegetical] stage that followed. In addition, I have insisted that some changes in conceptual [interdependent dialectal] vocabulary are required for the assimilation and development of the [newly exegeting] observations, laws, and [permaculturally restabilizing health/pathology] theories deployed in the later [transubstantiation from eisegetical to exegetical] stage (whence the phrase ‘not quite squarely’ above).  Given those beliefs, the process of [small-evolutionary/great-revolutionary] transition from old state to new becomes an integral part of science, a process that must be understood by the [permacultural, multicultural] methodologist concerned to analyze the [nutrient] cognitive [and affective] basis for [healthy-fertile] scientific beliefs. Language change is cognitively [and affectively, nondual ecological effectively] significant for me as it was not for Carnap.

[Language listening to learn ecologically confluent relationships, correlations, positive and negative, follows a dialectal ecologically-confluent positive harmonious past-power path through co-empathic trusting exegetical-ionic-iconic DNA thermodynamic experience of sustained ecotherapeutic cognitive/affective balance v. cognitive/affective emergent dissonance. Whether paradigmatic climate change is Business As Usual slow-emergence, or revolutionary, whether evolutionary or revolutionary, depends on whether one notices day-to-day emergence or whether one notices great transitional ectosymbiotic emergence of positive relationship-building between two or more dialectally interdependent paradigms suddenly, as in Buber’s “Aha!” gestalt, is a difference between bicameral aptic normal deductive-dominant learning, and bicameral polypathic synaptic learning to learn cognitive-affective ecopolitical healthy/pathology nondual tipping point consilience, suddenly surprisingly reconciling the previously known only as incommensurable, for the first synaptically blissful resolving, resonant, now-fully-present time.

Endosymbiotic evolution is our emerging internal integrity potential for great ectosymbiotic revolutions, actively-mutually-engaging, co-present, full-ecoconsciously abundant, timeless climate of interdependent co-relation.  Atheism of  (0)-sum economic Empty is to normal science as panentheism of organic Interdependence is to (0)-soul bilateral political revolutions of syncretic learning to re-search as re-listen more effectively, more nutritiously, more therapeutically, more happily, more positively, more prosperously, more fertilely, together.]

Lost Lake Odessa

My world spins round
too fast most times
from Greek deep roots
on Black Sea ports
to cross Jordan’s River
on Catherine’s Great
trains meet sailboats
greeting sea planes
flying off to ports unknown
throughout my Lake Odessa Highways.

Where Ottomans
blend Spanish matadors,
heroes for my day
and night bleeds forth
a calvary of force
to please titillating whims
of Lake Odessa’s middle class czarinas.

I can’t go home again
to places never born.
My mind can roam
and try to swim
and fly to where and what
and whom and why
we might have been
if we had built
a fine fair fortress
for peace that loves to rock
and sing sad songs
of what sights have been
in Lake Odessa.

Instead of gangs
and clicky clacks
we learn polycultured quacks
to flap and honk like Canadian geese,
to transubstand she ate
where America
begins to end
through Lake Odessa’s streets.

I’m much too busy
and self-important
sleep deprived
and programmed lose to lose
to win our way
back home again
where Lake Odessa meets.

The role of God
as played by me
writing comic operas
only kids can see
was what I loved
most secretly
in long lost Lake Odessa.

We need a better god for now
bringing peach tree jams
immortality
of love as wise
reframes lost loves
to live in jesting jars
of honeyed sweet
corns and thorns
for testing streets
tasting ancient Greeks
on shores of Lake Odessa.

We’re coming back
to save each other
from what might have been
without sly rudders,
tipping posts from wu wei mothers
to rebuild our crystal castle love
of forms that buzz with life
and tours that sag with history
spinning sprays of licks and waves
lapping soft and sandy
on long gone skies
of sanguine Lake Odessa.

Ego’s Anthro EcoPolitical Powers

What we see and eat is who we are.
What we won’t see,
our ego’s becoming eaten up by time’s expiration,
is who we are not yet.

To grow ego-stretching out throughout space,
remember your very own DNA flows equivalently and coincidentally
and co-arisingly through each living cell of Earth.

And, to grow ego stretching back and forth
across bilaterally balancing time,
remember DNA/RNA’s rooted nutritional ecopolitical lineage of root systemic ecology,
biohistory fades back to fractal-light-squared greets dualdark cosmology,
and flares forward toward bicameral polypaths,
EarthTribe’s continuous organic
comprehensive
regeneration,
Continuous Quality Improvement
of economic-ecologic-analogic-algorithmic (0)-sum
cooperative health-care optimization.

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.

Political Choices of Vibrant Cultures

History of science unfolds as ecopolitical winners
and more eisegetical also-rans.

The pursuit of growing scientific information,
knowledge and facts,
understanding of their relational contexts,
comprehension of Earth’s systems
and cosmological nest-network;
these objectives evolve scientific politically empowered paradigms
fueled by our collective economic investments of time and money.

All our conjoined scientific research projects
are powered by political choices
to invest and to divest in relationships of experiential discovery.

In this sense of choosing among alternative ways to learn
where and when and how to invest in these relationships of discovery,
within a laboratory,
within a family recreation day,
within discernment of healthy and pathology outcomes,
within language and dialect and paradigm of science and conscience
and reiterative inductive/deductive reflection and discernment,
all learning choices are driven by political climates of self/other governance,
and it becomes much easier to choose to speak and learn
