Zen Logic of Time

I imagine the ecological sciences
as interior formal, and not so formal, systemic voices,
speaking of biological sciences
as exterior systemic function,
biology evolves what ecology resolves,

Ecology refines healthy regenerative biological reasons
for cooperative ecotherapeutic intent,
practice,
design,
and development
of a therapeutic political and economic
under-creationstory,
propelling past toward future.

Each ego incarnation is a discontinuous biological string
of co-arising ego-centric constellations,
emerging toward ecology’s continuous interdependent celebration,
sacred transparent Bright of night’s full moon diastatic dream,
eco-weaving ecocentric Wisdom
of beloved EarthTribe’s perpetual eco-empathic network,
reading Time’s SelfAsOther implicating icons
of co-enculturing language.

Healthy self-perpetuating ecosystems,
including human bioegosystems,
are WinWin dominant
over WinLose,
and are also LoseLose co-recessive,
aversive especially to mutually aversive.

When I notice LoseLose trends in a relationship,
or transaction, I am likely to mention it.
See if others agree.
Then talk together
about what this implies
to reverse-face toward WinWin bio-ecology.

Mindbodies are biological
and therefore ecological
and therefore follow political and economic rules
of natural health v. pathological disorder,
an absence of order
that regenerates square-rooted
in RNA’s dipolar sensitivity
to light and dark
as warm polycultural cooperative WinWin trend
and
cold monocultural LoseLose
dia-empathic “death” trend
of aptic Absence of CoPresence.

Ecologic is
to genius,
as too wild mindbody is
to biologic discontinuity of ecoconsciousness.
Bicameral regenesis
is co-empathic prime function
balancing pregenesis of bilateral Time.

Ecologic midway genius
is exotic, erotic,
uncommodifiable,
free of domesticating restraints of biology’s ego-incarnation,
primal Tao of Time’s TransParent CoElationship.

Culture is dynamic nature
emerging through RealTime.
All nature, including biological-bicameral human nature,
is ecologically syntaxed culture’s evolution
through revolutionary space
as time’s co-arising refolding egoleft OVER eco-right
cosmological consciousness of eco-bilateral time.

Bicameral ecoconsciousness grows in continuity
density and fertility,
resonant confluence,
with Left-Right mindbody
cooperative polypathic Golden Rule,
polynomial Golden Ratio,
polycultural Golden Elixir RNA/DNA harmonic co-relationship,
nutrient-strings of ReGenerative Health-Systemic InFormation.

We are co-empathic potentiated
biological-bicameral mindbody ecosystems,
learning to see our Leftbrain Ego
as discontinuous Eco-RNA/DNA dia-gestalt memories,
conjoined through holonic ecological systemic syntax,
cooperative political and economic norms
for regenerating rich, deep, dense ecological
and polycultural
revolutions of Time’s emergent midway primal memory string,
conjoining (0)riginal Intent
with Poly(0)MegaEnculturing HealthPraxis,
in revolutionary solidarity
as all RNA/DNA EarthTribes

Life and information prevail,
or time’s continued enculturation fails
and falls, elapses back into diastatic noise.

This difference between informing life
and noisy chaos,
is distinction between cultural context
and absence of relationally accessible temporal rhythm,
failure of spaciated pattern resolution,
just as the difference between bio-cultured life
and ecosystemically wild monocultural Absence
of bilateral-fractal-octave-temporal prime relationship balance
co-arises bilateral EcoBalance exterior landscapes,
with PostMillennial Ego/EcoConscious regenerating interior landscapes.

Possible binary-binomial dialect-balancing language
might include WinWin fractal gaming 4D cooperative networks,
reverse-tree structures
rooted in notice U-Fold
designed with C-UnFold DiPolar Balance,
developing A-ReFold BiCameral EcoSystemically Dialectic root-branch harmony,
co-arising G-PreFold Prime-Fractal threshold
toward ReGenerate:
U++ Convex temporal-neural-PolyNomial trend
equals (-,-) DiPolar Concave Not(NotPolyNomial) double-reverse balance trend
mythosed as YinYin and wu wei
Tipping EcoLogical RevolutionaryTransition Points
in and down and up, but always halfway out,
toward ZeroPresent universal co-empathic ecoconsciousness.

Ecological purposes of time
predict biological functions of emerging organic places

Or, maybe not enough time
to unfold all these ways of noticing time.

Sensual Hearts and Flaming Flowers

You’re the flame around my heart,
am I still your smile
when we’re apart?

As you leave your flame flares up,
but when I look into your face,
I miss your fuel-fired smiling fart.

If you’re my fire
where were you before my first flame?
What were you before in me?

After your last flame
returns from where it came
what remains but primal memory?

Although our flames elapse and change,
consume and exhale in recessed waves,
are you this same fire
from first consuming flame
through our last expiring rest?

Other than your warm body
of Earth’s wavey-rational co-gravitation,
how are we not the same fire
I watched expire last night?

How do fire storms and tsunami
earthquakes with family landslides
measure life’s self-reflective Time?

Our flame of hearts
hide co-viral souls
all the same
in some primal ways,
yet more interesting in our difference
through other times and sacred places,
heartflow space
as nature’s species
emerging fertile trends
with despairing ends,
encultured Trees of Life
as discultured Root Systems of DeComposing Death,
inducing memories of good flame health
interrupted by time’s double-present boundary,
pathology of absent loss of breath.

Is this how our flame of love
is sacredly Sun’s same zero-Soul?
yet mundane nature’s
more uniquely DNA identified
absence of warm love
and peaceful pastures?

Flames co-arise up and down
to up and out evolve again
another day of shared reiterative memory,
another season,
another moment,
another spacetime advent toward
regene-culturing well-fired outcomes
of prime temporal co-relations,
Yang poli-flame emergent hearts,
as YinYin co-rising-gravitating economics
of fire’s all-consuming productive flow,
(0)-soul bicameral permaculture,
healthy well-balanced compost,
burning nutrients of air and soil,
mixing internal neuronic-neutronic DNA-treated-water
baptizing RNA-treated breaths
of inhaling/exhaling Sun greets Earth ecology.

Wavey flames with nutrient fuel
form co-arising hearts,
Prime Relationships
so zero-centric strong
mere zen-dipolar intent
raises Yang’s full-power flame
with YinYin fertile RNA-fractal balanced flow,
WinWin CoRelational Balancing
zippy hearts against wilting flowers,
YangUracil’s optimizing CQI health-trend
regenerating midway fire.

Your flame inhales and exhales
smiling DNA Yang,
reversing notnot smiling-aptic reverse-trend LoseLose,
my ecofertile flow fuels spirit flames,
sensual breaths,
co-empathic smiles
toward RNA equivalent tempered WinWin Balance,
co-gravitating flames Right-ebb
as Left Positive Psychology flow
of co-arising dialectic health
(0)Rigin as (0)Mega OrthoPraxis,
cooperative bicameral health of flames
love to smell and grow together.

You’re the flame around my bicameral heart,
am I still your bilaterally co-gravitating smile,
when we’re apart?

Suicidal Notes

Do you sometimes wonder about your self identity
seen through your lens for suicidal risk as opportunity?

It interests me that this lens
evolves as we age.

In later adolescence,
we often look in the face of transition
from good nutritional outcomes on a small stage
about to enter more competitively sharkish waters
within a significantly larger landscape.

Or so I focused my lens in my younger lack-time of wonder.
Not sure why or how these same transitions did not also apply
to nearly all those nonsuicidal 18-24 year olds,
enjoying a more Positive Psychology.

But now, in later adulthood,
I more often look in the face of a potential suicide
as one with at best mediocre outcomes
on a too-small stage,
often familial, or lack thereof,
about to enter no stage at all,
thinking maybe why postpone this mortal inevitability
of decay.

From younger suicides,
“What would be the point of continuing
this WinLose Game,
when we all feel RealTime drill,
you never clearly win
until you stop losing,
and you never stop losing,
until you stop playing.
Clearly I am about to lose
what I don’t feel all that great about
ever having won
at others’ expense.”

From older suicides,
“What was the point
of taking so long
to end this rigged Lose to Lose
death-embracing game
called life?”

It feels like these despair and suffering questions
co-arise within exponentially more of us,
asking echoing silos
as our encultured Earth moves
into a new revolutionary millennium.

Given the now nearly inevitable demise
of our polyculturally and climatically climaxing
exterior and interior lenses
of healthy hope v. toxic pathological
and monocultural decline
of ecological
and economic
and political balance,
how do we know
we are more than an overpopulating parasitic blight
riding Earth’s mortuary-in-waiting
where Elders remind was once
a healthy regenerative place
to continue living?

Yet it is so important to notice
not only all despairing souls
jumping off roofs
but also healthfully repairing souls
building polyculturally positive-deviant landscapes
of organic and synergetic opportunity,
cooperative networks of resonant resolve
sounding Time’s dipolar appositional
issues of despair as opportunities to repair,
still seeking reasonable,
yet deviant,
hope for shared regenerational vocations,
with WinWin reiterating integrity.

No ego is autonomously responsible
for feelings or thoughts,
ideation or even beliefs.
So it is no one’s right to judge feelings,
our own feelings,
the feelings-beliefs-ideas of others
as unacceptable or somehow cosmically dysfunctional,
condemning or worthy of global applause
is to take all that we have been given
far too personally,
too unrealistically removed from comparative
and nuancing context
to discern how we might choose to carry on.

It is our responsibility,
personally, and as a species,
to notice trends of suffering and despair,
compared to trends of multisystemic diversity,
polycultural density of nutritional choices,
ranges of harmonic freedom and healthy cultural balance,
as they appear to reflect
and not reflect
our shared experience to date.

Not to judge and condemn failures and despair,
but to praise our most regenerative successes
and love for equitably accessible hope
to include all Earth’s cooperative economy
among our emerging synergetic Tribe
of curious interests.

Ego Speaks for YangYin History

Most everything I learned about the history of evolution
feels colored by Julian Jaynes’ theory of language
and culture
and history
and icons of ecological systems and functions,
forms and frequencies,
rhythms and ironic, ionic
dualdark cosmological bicameral transparency.

This is not something peculiar to Jaynes
or even to DNA-syntaxed cultural Memory,
flowing back to Elder Right MindBody ecoroots
of systemic cooperative therapy and health,
DNA/RNA solidarity
through mutual political/economic Left/Right bicameral solidarity,
a regeneratives-only need apply globally nutritious revolution.

When I think back
through RNA’s original prime relationship,
normative gestalt
for fractal-seasonal-temporal ecosystemic development,
I see Ego’s God of ReGenerating Truth
as both Earth’s RNA polyculturally inclusive SunGod,
and Mother’s DNA-embryonic
Open EcoSystemic
Universal Timeless Folding/UnUnFolding CoGravitating Moment,
incarnating (0)-soul Basic Attendance,
BiCameral EarthDominant Consciousness.

Jaynes presents the emergence of a polypathic puzzle
as Ego’s humane/divine balancing vocation,
assigned by RightBrain bilateral-temporal-aptic/synaptic Elder
cousins and plants,
flows and functions,
fractal forms and octave-frequencies
emerging time’s bilateral,
four seasoned, four dimensioned, dialectically reasoned,
and logos-languaged,
ecoconsciousness of healthy-confluence v. cognitive-affective dissonance,
chronic temporal stress
of RNA/DNA solidarity-normed ecotherapy,
Earth’s ecosystemic TimePrimed root system
emerging back to BlackHole timeless embryonic AbsentTransParent
(0)Mega Point
of ReGenerative Revolutionary-Synergetic Origin.

Well, that’s the way this LeftBrain dominant Ego
reads Jaynes back through pre-bicameral history,
but could this be a way of seeing
our humane/divine history as decomposing itself,
in reverse of LeftBrain emergent dominance
as PreMillennial EgoAnthroCentric Time
for processing RNA’s original regenerative development
cooperative embryonic project,
to emerge Exterior Landscape/Interior Landscape
as Ego/EcoSacredCoPresent Absence
due to incarnational mindbody restraints
on Open Systemic (0)-soul God/Goddess of Time’s
Ego/Eco BiLateral CoArising
PolyTherapeutic Evolutionary
EcoPresence.

Well, OK,
there are a lot of paradigmatic nests
in BiCameralYangYin’s ecologically emerging nutritious soup.
But, essentially this evolving Ego
suggests to your evolving Ego/Eco
Interior/Exterior co-enculturing health-outcome agenda
that consciousness evolves
because bicameral eco-consciousness co-evolves
through open systemic genetic codex,
restricted solely by harmonic dipolar balance
within (0)-ecotime
to PostMillennially Transition
back toward Left-Right mutually subsidiary
political and economic balance.

This EgoLeft dominant adventure
unfolds as Moses leads and develops
and evolves toward Eco-ReGenerative Promise.
EcoConsciousness through Ego’s bicameral lenses
develops and evolves DNA/RNA health optimization.

Ego-with-EcoRight evolution is both physical and metaphysical,
both memory and love of regenerative future,
etching synapses
and aptic-basic PrimeRelationship of DiPolar Solidarity
deep in ecobiosystems
of HealthEnculturing CoArising Revolution.

Perhaps Jaynes did not anticipate
what emerges up,
in excess of tipping point equi-valent healthy balance,
invites us to breathe back out again
toward PostMillennial LeftRight BiCameral ReGenerating Balance,
reconnecting with wisdom of Elder Right’s SunGod and EarthGoddess
TransParent Regenerators of Heavenly ecosystems
playing a more PermaCulturally CoOperative
WinWin Solitairity Game
with DNA/RNA Fractal PrimeTime Presence,
erupting Golden DiPolar SpaceTime 4D CoRelationRatio,
then Golden Diastatic Logos Rules of ReGenerative Systemic Health,
then Golden Elixir of EcoRegenerative Health/Wealth
Internal/External Landscape co-arising designs and plans,
embryonic developments of self-reiterating MotherEarth,
flying and swimming and surfing
through SunGod’s co-gravitational revolutionary fields
and forms and functional flows
of primetime Tao co-elation.

In right/left relationship
with both full and absent universal landscape,
each will declare
beloved global cooperative community
as Ego has emerged from this Absent Other
History predicts future
only as each and all so resolve,
and co-resonate,
co-emerge this WinWin advent
of revolutionary EcoSolidarity.

Listening together,
with deductive-dipolar bicameral ears,
then speaking with polypathic dialectical confluence,
then acting more regeneratively healthy and safe
with each DNA/RNA Codex Creation Story,
ending without fear and anger
but absorbing synergetic limitless
timelessly open regenerating
diastatic-climaxing
eco-integrity.

Ego’s every transition moment
potential CoPresent culminating NOW
into history’s co-gravitating
reincarnating
great-transition memory
of dualdark aptic/resonant-synaptic embryonic Time,
to bless and/or curse dreams and days
of those you will so partially leave behind,
to regenerate as needed
for healthier compost futures.

Climatic Transitions

Remember great climatic transitions,
memories etched in regenerative systemic syntax,
DNA languaged,
but also RNA’s much older eco-equivalent health survival path
through God of Time’s bilaterally balancing norms,
eco-incarnating,
co-gravitational love for/of/with/as RNA’s regenerating
full-polycultural
ecosystemic health.

Each plant and sludge cell,
eco-therapeutic consumers and producers
of ecologically balancing air,
some seasons warm and more productive
of nutritional outcomes,
other seasons for cold,
with dualdark past meets future
tipping poignant decomposing health and therapy events
composting fertile transitional birthing issues
and opportunities
to consider warmer,
more pregnant days,
less consumptive of last year’s eco-embryonic promise,
like oil sucking out of Earth’s Left-brain dominant enculturation.

ReConnecting great climatic health v. pathology transitions
through bicameral lens (0)-centric DNA/RNA
fractals of great revolving historic memory strings
of Time’s ReGenerating Healthy Atmosphere
for springing ReNewing Global Health ReGenesis.

One Hand Clapping

Who sings this song
of one hand dancing?

No, honey,
get it right please,
What is the sound of one hand clapping?

One hand clapping
is the same difference of song as sound
between co-arising bicamerality
and dipolar binomiality.

Both hands begin and end
with Zero-Zen-soul prime relationship
of Tao,
as Time’s transparent co-gravitational
ecologically therapeutic energy,
leading from each heart
as from Earth’s universally co-empathic
diastatically encultured
RNA/DNACentered
SpaceTime syntax
of light/dualdark seasons
with resonantly therapeutic coarising reasons.

Air is to water’s full-clap, as water is to air’s absorbing
pre-diastatic emptiness.

Yes, that, I suppose,
but also
Medicine, iconic of “nutritional regenerative-DNA/RNA health-system”
is to Earth’s sick Dual Pathologies
AngryClimate and Fear of LoserPathology labels and trends.
as Earth’s ecotherapeutic ecological timing is to inform our Medicine-Therapy Ecosystems,
including interior and familial, personal and tribal,
but also large-ecosystemic scales
of political and economic ecosystems
cooperatively researching long-term best permacultural practices
for assuring local through global health and safety.

I think you should change the title of your bicameral dipolar theory
to PolyCulture Interior/Exterior Landscape Cooperative Design Optimization.

Still too long.

I know
but how does bicameral YangEgo speak
propose to speak precisely
for YinYin Eco-squared, fractally bilateral,
temporal-neural-aptic polymorphic/polypathic/polyculturally
CoPresent Prime TransParent Relationship,
mute as a dipolar post?

Why must we speak what natural ecosystems imply
so ubiquitously?
Not timeless exactly,
but perennial,
since the beginning of Earth’s RNA-syntax memory of light/dark time,
correlated with warm/cold,
passed from embryo to embryonic regenerative information system
as binomial transmissions +,+ WinWin and -,- LoseLose:
prime fractal dipolar function-form.

So ego/eco (0)-soul balance of time’s co-arising gravity,
glares through bicameral lens,
but appears nearly invisible-recessive
to Left-brain dominant language-culture,
without YinYin’s more RNA-centric-doublebinding
yummy v pathology time-frequency and MidWay-flow.

Maybe,
although there is that cool thing about
dipolar transparent Polynomial
as NotNot Polynomial Tipping Point
co-arising elational-relational bilateral function
of time.

Well you certainly won’t get any of that time back.

I don’t look at polycultural TippingPoint design communication
as an expenditure of time
so much as an investment.

Well then, where is your return?

In time’s future ecotherapeutic polycultural regeneration,
and degenerative pathological
chronic anxiety and stress
of people and their soil and air and water
and decreasingly nutritional systems,
and sleep deprivation,
emerging climatic cultural meltdown.

Well,
your time seems to continue rewinding
but my time is moving toward meltdown.

I’m sorry.
How can I help?

You could stop talking
and start practicing what you so
nutritiously
and polyculturally
and cooperatively preach.

Why can’t I do both?

I don’t know.
Just clumsy I guess.
Sounds more like one not-quite-resonant hand clapping.

Watering Terror

I’m so confused,
raised to believe cooperative love overpowers competing fears
about scarcity of time,
and other resources,
and anger about past over- and under-valuing of myself
as a regenerative resource,
Presence,
raised to believe the Golden Rule
is most effectively applied to all life,
as cooperative ecologically regenerative potential,
I don’t see how it could be OK
to run a national political campaign
assuming I will confuse the taking of life for nutritional needs
as less humane than the taking of life for punishment and retributive needs,
death-debt owed for death-taken,
if only it were possible to kill
this discultured clan of terrorists
repeatedly
for each and every innocent life taken
with such unholy cynicism as anti-life hopeless degenerates.

I find this violence-begets-violence nowhere else
in any ecosystem,
anything that could possibly be called a sustainable system,
in any form of nature,
other than humane nature as de-natured humanity.

However, now that I think of it,
perhaps we do see something of its kind
in diseased and over-crowded populations,
literally eating their young.

We often call this “rabidity”,
as individuals,
families,
tribes,
swarming in a monocultural snarl,
turn on each other
begin unprovoked cannibalism,
prey on each other,
perhaps as a form of punishment or retribution
for past angers and fears only these terrorist champions of chaos
can see
and feel;
a mounting prescient culture of mutual disregard and antipathy,
immunity,
trending toward Lose-Lose sociopolitical economic and ecological
outcomes.

Still,
is it wise to sanction violence to be perpetrated by others
on our behalf,
at any scale,
for any reason?
How is abuse and neglect of death-producing miscreants
not hypocritical
for a person who believes in the power of cooperative love
as a more effective Golden Rule
than “Beat Others down before they Win more than you”?
Does this intend to include anything but monocultural AnthroCentric overcrowding, more violence,
more dissonance,
trending toward decomposition of all Earth’s systems?

Am I to invest
or disinvest
in a competing human race
or a humanizing regenerate space and time?
Or, is it something MidWay between,
sometimes competing anger and fear might be Teachers,
I suppose,
although still not the best choice-makers.
Perhaps we could leave cooperative balancing
of Tipping Point decomposition
and analysis of therapeutic/toxic trends,
within exclusive charge of CoArising Love as Golden Rule choice-making;
choosing whether or not to disinvest in regenerative health potential values of a life,
or a biosystem,
an ecosystem,
to optimally invest in Earth’s regenerating health and vitality.

Yet, Earth does not necessarily
always and at all times,
water humane flowers
to starve the weeds.
More often, weeds starve flowers of water
as Crusading Christians starved diversity of intelligence
through violent ex-communication.

So, if these interdependently organic
cooperating relationships
between and within individuals,
families of weeds,
tribes of flowers,
nations and planets,
and the ecobalance of co-arising space with time
are what we seem to love,
then why do we suboptimize with Win-Lose economic and political choices
to compete with each other
for livelihood
sense of vocational value,
for power to declare war on each other,
the right to abuse and neglect and ex-communicate each other,
as if Earth’s evolutionary journey
is not historically rooted
in cooperative regenerate enculturation,
as any of life’s surviving cells
could quickly attest,
even under threat of ex-communication.

It is difficult for me to find any faith
or even hope
in the belief that Earth produced this humanizing race
toward degenerating dissonance
and overly-competitive Win to Lose strategies
of Left-brain cultural and language
and political and economic
dominance.

It feels less confusing to me
to comprehend we are ecoconsciously co-loving each other
in a rapidly overpopulating monocultural species
with humane researching and incubating
emergently embryonic cooperative aspirations
to optimize WorldWide Win-Win ecosystemic networks,
to balance Left with Right mindbody co-mentoring intelligence,
harmonizing all our bicameral systemic information,
issuing inductive from Heaven’s TransParent Cloud
and deductive from Earth’s RNA icons
of recreate intelligence,
form with co-arising cooperative function,
noun as verb,
and harmonic-octave frequencies
in 4-square Prime Sequential Relationship,
both co-gravitational temporal with thermodynamic spatial,
Yang OVER yin-squared = c-squared ecoconsciousness
of Universal TransParent (0) Metric Balance.

Perhaps, then, it is less confusing to me
to think about how to invest more wisely
in non-violent empathy of Basic Attendance
to notice and listen with still-centered mindbody,
empathically absorbing claustrophobic fear and anger
saturating toxic terror that my life,
therefore your life,
has no ego-intrinsic value
because LeftEgo is too dissonantly dominant
over Right EcoEarth Regenerational Analogic
CoEmpathic Arising Function,
so my death, therefore your death,
has no Earth-intrinsic regenerative value or disvalue.

From this position
I cannot see Allah as ReGenerator Power and Flow,
Form with NatureFunction,
Love with Synergetic Intent,
TransParent Empathic Elational Present
Concave Place within Convex Culture
through Time’s bilaterally co-gravitational eco-normative lens.

How is any directive to starve and/or neglect and/or kill
not what Christians have known as ex-communication
unto decomposing degeneration?
Dissonance struggling against dissonance,
when we could choose to emerge mutually-resonant regenerators,
re-communicative poly-empathic optimizers,
co-mentoring enriching Earth-regenerate soil
reforesting our rivers for clean water,
repurposing our mutual immunity
as mutual subsidiarity within
Earth,
EcoTribe,
RNA/DNA solidarity.
These three held together into perpetuity,
Earth Tribal ReSolution.

On Eco-Logical Economics

If you have not read Riane Eisler’s “The Real Wealth of Nations” (2012) and John Michael Greer’s “Wealth of Human Nature” (2011), please do at least read one or the other.

Eisler thinks it is time to replace an overly-dominant, capital-based, competitive cultural understanding of Business As Usual Means Marginalized Lives Don’t Matter, evolved through the Industrial Age. She contrasts this with our “real”, but undervalued wealth of nurturance and care-giving. This is an explicit feminist perspective on economics and the logic and balance of ecologically-informed economics. My only complaint is not about what she has written, but about the “sin” of omitting all the vast financial and cultural research on co-operative economics, which seems to incorporate values for recycling, repurposing, rehabilitation, zero carbon footprint lifestyle intentions, as well as the organizing of co-operatives around child care, elder care, household cleanliness and order, landscaping, cooking and preserving, gardening and farming.  These are all cultural elements of what Thich Nhat Hanh would encourage us to think of as a nurturing-nutritional economy v. a domineering-toxic environment of oppressing and suppressing our natural and ecological instincts.

John Michael Greer’s analysis of our capital/commodity competitive Business As Usual economics-as-financial-transaction monopoly and monotony is entirely symbiotic with Eisler’s blistering critique.  His alternative trend view is more eco-logically focused as a logic that is our undervalued HUMAN natural wealth. If we follow what is ecologically rational more, and avoid further investment in what is merely more competitive ego-investment of an anthro-culturally supremacist species, we may have more sustainable hope for our collective future. Like Eisler, however, Greer fails to take that one additional ecological step, to notice that organic living nature is essentially co-operative until the point when trends start moving toward decay and devolution.  Economics, whether competitively-rooted in Win-Lose capitalist Game Theory, or cooperatively-rooted in Win-Win positive evolutionary Game Theory, is relational network praxis of ecological systemic intent, continuing our cultural revolution toward comprehensive consciousness.

Transactions and relationships are synonymous as reiteratively equivalent communication strings of memory and cultural history, whether we are speaking of micro-economics, or macro-economics, or both.  Our prime ecological assumption is that we live in a positively co-operative evolutionary environment, too often troubled by negatively competing Win-Lose strategies and logistics assuming a shortage of “wealth” resources, which may be reminiscent of Anderson’s “Emperor with No Clothes.” If the socioeconomic and too-long encultured pathology of over-valuing competition are precisely what point to their own nakedly devolving and decomposing future, then hope dawns with this red horizon; our socioeconomic therapy is a deeper permacultured economics of co-operative ecology, design, and developmental praxis.

At the micro-economic personal and familial and local community levels, I have found the following areas of discernment on “Win-Lose Competition Economics” v. “Win-Win Co-Operative Economics” useful:

  1. Purchasing decisions: Housing, transportation, utilities, food, insurance come immediately to mind as having rich potential to benefit our shared environment and my personal checking account and the quality of my relationships with family and neighbors when approached with a “Group Purchasing Co-Operative” intention.  When do I need a car and when do I not, and do I know other people, or is there some way I could get to know other people, who might answer that question in a way that is mutually compatible with my answer?
  2. Investment decisions: Insurance shows up here again, with retirement investment, and even regular savings and checking account relationships with financial institutions and companies who will use my payments to invest in what, exactly? I am increasingly uncomfortable with knowing that many insurance and financial corporations are taking my capital and investing it in Business As Usual, especially as it occurs to me that there are ways to invest in cooperative funds investing solely in my region of habitat, excluding those businesses with toxic outcomes for our shared environment, other species, and also for their employees, and giving preference to investments in worker- and resident-cooperative ownership.
  3. Relational decisions: While purchasing and investment are also relational, we usually think of them as transactions. So, this broader category continues to evolve on my own path toward a more comprehensive ecological co-operative consciousness. How do I choose to respond to messages from my own family that betray contention between egocentrism and eco-logical balance?  These are at least potential opportunities for some rich conversation about what we value, including sustainability of life, and what we disvalue. As I am now well-immersed in my twilight years, it becomes increasingly obvious that what I have always enjoyed about my internal contentions is how they have a way of resolving most resonantly when my egocentric left-brain embraces my ecocentric right-brain’s intuitions for right-relationship, for what is, after all, transparently eco-logical.

Eisler and Greer both point to some public policy and priority changes that would help each of us sustain our ego-eco alignment. I agree with all of this agenda.  I further believe that the principles and ethics of Permaculture could be more broadly applied to any evolutionary paradigm for relationships, transactions, actions, being and becoming on planet Earth, within our bodies and families and neighborhoods and ecosystems. Some principles that feel permacultural, but may not appear in your sustainable agriculture text:

  1. Never give up. Always, whenever possible, give downstream to enrich solidarity with those living more marginally than you are. This applies to investment and purchasing decisions, as well as all relational discernment.
  2. Don’t give out after struggling and suffering against; always give in while struggling and suffering with others, nature, human nature, your own ecologic.
  3. The best case scenario for sustaining  a Win-Lose Game, is to embrace Win-Win logistics and strategies whenever you can find a regenerative way to do so. Otherwise, the ecological long-term conclusion of Win-Lose ego-domination logistics is you might possibly win, but only after everyone else understands themselves as “losers” in your eyes; a pyric victory with deadening cost to water, soil, air, and the former wealth of human nature.
