Mad About Schooling

Why do I feel like school visits
are usually a waste of time,
and mental health visits,
too,
or is it visiting in general
that bothers me?

What I will see
and smell
and hear
and touch
is only what you feel safe to show me.

Your best professional face
when you are in charge of your environment
of yourself,
and all is as it would best be
in your safe and healthy presence.

Yet what I need to see
is how this place,
these people,
this teacher or therapist or mentor,
or would-be lover,
responds
to my child’s anger and fear,
to my own anger about how they have
and have not
been treated in our past,
to your own angers about your past,
fears about life’s future
for yourself
for your kids,
for these other caregivers.

How will you respond
the 99th time my daughter shits on herself
then laughs while you wipe her nasty stinky ass,
berated by her own memories
of past such humiliations?
Hope you too might find humor
in your dialectic co-arising therapeutic intent,
your Positive Psychology presence
in this moment of bicameral empathy.

Just how good might it feel
to give a smack on the ass
of all angry-fearfilled,
chronically stressed
and sleep deprived,
too-often critical-event PTSD
co-victims of human life’s unkind
and in-humane culture and history?

How do you think that choice
would not hurt both of you,
all of us,
where you could choose to live fully
in this bicamerally loving moment
of empathic Right-brained eco-consciousness,
synergetic multisystemic practice
with full-loving intent
when and where most needed
and neglected
and abused.

Abuse of professional love,
reminds of angers about life’s inhumane injustice,
depressing fears of death’s too soon
peaceful resonance.

Visiting schools for therapeutic Present life
has little to reveal about where we PastAnger-FutureFear live
24/7.

Zero-Soul Advent

EarthMother Speaking:
Each still-wombed life extends Mother Advents incarnating time
so each Maternal risk and endosymbiotic opportunity,
each ectosymbiotic free will and intent act of Host, ProGenitor,
rich fertile nutritionally balanced informing action,
fades competitive egocentrism,
as narrow-minded anthro-centrist elitism,
to incarnate more fractally bicameral
and dipolar consciousness,
wisdom’s good faith compost for Earth’s co-operating future.

Advent Speaking:
Hello! I’m still waiting!
Each of these eternal moments incarnates timeless eternity
without unfolding rebirthing memory,
a polypathic potpourri of culturally autistic risk and polycultural opportunity
to avoid your ego-deductive domination’s self-suffering
to more mutually embrace eco-poly-paradigmatic synergy of ecosystemic (0)-soul birth.

EarthMother:
Each day an extension of my time
so each morning a risk and opportunity
to avoid greedy egocentrism,
addiction to thrills
then attachment to their suffering consequences,
as if I could have learned them alone,
to step into harmonious eco-centered (0)-consciousness.

Advent, Still Waiting:
Each waiting half-filled ego extends Time’s holonic-neural enculturing memory
of risks and opportunities
to avoid evolution’s monochromatic dead ends
suffering,
waiting,
even more Adventing,
by embracing EarthRevolution’s poly-enculturing (0)-soul
political with economic conscience.

Andrew Cohen: “Evolutionary Enlightenment”, p. 98
“The practice of Evolutionary Enlightenment
has two fundamental components
[Left-Right mindbody (0) dipolarity]
that reflect
the two domains of [endosymbiotic] Being
and [ectosymbiotic] Becoming.
In the [Internal Landscape] domain of Being,
the practice is learning to master
the timeless art an [eco-con]science of meditative
stillness [and ecosystemic decomposition].
In the [Exterior Landscape] domain of evoutionary Becoming,
the practice is defined
by Five [0-balancing ego/eco as Left/Right] Fundamental Tenets–
[1. Bicameral Noticing for] Clarity of Intention,
[2. Positively Inhaling Spring] The Power of Volition
[3. Diastatic Full-Bicameral Eco/Ego (0)Identity Power to]
Face Everything and Avoid Nothing
[4. EcoSystematic DeComposition as] The Process Perspective, and
[5. Co-Regenerative Double-Fractal-Holonic Resonance] Cosmic Conscience.
For those who aspire to walk this path in earnest,
these [embryonic] tenets must be [co-arisingly] lived at all times,
in all places
under all [MotherEarth’s Advent-ure] circumstances.”

GrimFree

Note:

Dear Chris,

I could go into souls as mindbody identities with interdependently co-arising individuation, also known as living, and incarnation, but my gut says to go to your 4-soul prototype that has been useful in your work on creating more therapeutically inclusive safe spaces and frames for communication that hopes for positive outcomes, for regenerative effect.

A strong gadfly is what I would call a politically powerful Yang, and what Alan Watts might call a “Prickly”. A strong relationalist is what I would call an economically cooperative YinYin integrative, synergetic, communitarian flow function, and Watts would call “Goo”. There may be cross-functional analogies in the prime relational dynamics of Uracil as gadfly Universalist function, and Cytosine as relational-unitarian function; the root relationship for regenerative health, therapy, and genetically reiterative, unfolding development of an embryonic biosystem.

The secondary prime relationship between institutionals and negotiators (facilitators? integrationists? cooperativists? co-mentors?) may be our individual and collective story of life’s trajectory. Institutionals are Buckminster Fuller’s precessive stage of development toward institutional diastasis, balanced natural structure of relationships and values and order and sequence, rhythm and pattern. The precessive institutional is on pilgrimage toward building a healthy body, environment, corporation, some kind of noun, nomial, identity individuated from all other identities, yet also with co-arising and co-falling interdependence. Recessive negotiators are the harvesters, as precessive institutionalists are spring’s all-consuming growth toward summer’s full and rich community through healthy, effective communication. Negotiators are decomposers, co-analyzers, co-facilitators of healthy v. toxic relational balance. Those who will sustain a healthy interdependent balance across the ecosystem’s spacetime trajectory.

Gadfly institutionals, out of balance with relational-cooperative-mentorship, internally and/or externally, become elitist, overly-defensive, overly competitive. Co-relational mentors-negotiators, without sufficient opportunity and investment in struggling with (not against) gadfly institutionals, develop richly nutritious familial and kinship networks, but without the formed stamina of double-bind boundary articulation which gadflies-as-institution-growers bring to this 4-seated soul-table of regenerative elements. Adenine’s function may be that of articulating identity double-boundaries and mutually-defensive immunity between developing ecosystems, as Guanine is the harvesting glue that completes this four-part frame for a day, a year with four seasons, a healthy life with four seasons spanning birth toward healthy-nurturant regenesis.

When I speak of consent to change one’s values, I speak of informed consent to choose to “recalibrate” some habitual frame with the help of a facilitator who has demonstrated through her/his own experience and relationships the capacity to facilitate mindbody ecotherapy, which is dialectically inclusive and capable of co-discerning therapeutic value balance, tipping points, that avoid perpetuating pathological counterbalance. Although that would indeed seem to be a wise co-facilitator of diversity, valuing polycultural Win-Win process over monocultural-static Win-Lose suboptimizing decisions.

I enjoy your frame for co-creating regenerative polyculturally respectful, inclusive health. Not sure the language of genetics or Fuller’s geometrics of mindbody cooperative orientation v. competitive Lose-Lose disorientation, bring you anything that you need to continue this important work of grinfree, although, if you changed “negotiator” to “mentor” then your vocation might evolve as creating grimfree spaces, frames, and political-economic environments of cooperatively regenerative, sustainable health for the full rainbow umbrella of neural diversity.

Really enjoy your website. So impressive, beautifully done, accessible, wise, deep deductive/inductive, Left/Right balance, where Left tends to be our gadfly-cast egocenter of language, and Right continues to slow-grow our ecocenter of love as regenerative synergy, integrity of healthy/therapeutic/life-sharing values and norms, default settings, emergence of temporal/aptic co-gravitational Tipping Points–not too wild, not too domesticated.

Warmly,

Choosing Time to Die

If I can choose my time to die
winter is my first choice
although I can imagine
any season could be good
for releasing ego’s hold
on my yet-individuated eco-consciousness,
should there be such a long-named thing
when I choose my time to die.

I would walk out through my trees
to caress and bid farewell
and thank them for this air we breathe
for their patience with my cut-down ways,
I would breathe my richest breath
into their root systems
as I walk on through these Trees
of Life and Death,
breathing through rich swells
of elation rooted Time.

I would lie down on the snow
under snowflakes blanketing this final nest
gathering owl’s rich medicine
listening to her echoing
WhoAreYou
night-ride voice
twinkling back into this miracle
of snow-flaking stars
twinkling blowing we us kisses through this path
lying down as cold and ego-bold as snow.

Co-falling
co-arising
timeless
Earth-membered
conscious choice of times we live
to give as freely as Earth’s snow.

Why does not not old and cold
equal timeless flowing eco-function diadancing,
snowing inviting invisible stars
of Advent’s rebirth light?

Silent One

Silent One

Empty One
grow full with Us.

Contentious One
find content struggling back to flow as Two.

Static One
comprehend climatic diastasis as We.

Hated One
know fear of fear as twining tree.

Chaotic One
comprehend con-scienced bicamerality.

Silent One
slow-grow regenerate harmony through me.

A River Flows Through

A river flows through this fold of life,
sometimes too turbulent,
occasionally too still
even for older established streams
with sluggish circulation currency
nearly to our shore of oceanic
sea’s streaming into one surfing surface
tidal stream,
our great river of rivers
flowing and surfing out and up
and back and forth
surging and slugging
stressing and struggling
with our undertow
need to flow
back home again,
to when this river’s story began
to flow through this unfolding life.

Primal Questions

I was thinking about Eisenstein’s view of our relationship with Earth as a sacred economic relationship with Beauty and Health (although the latter seems to be largely implied, but is more explicit in Riane Eisler’s highly compatible thought and concerns and hope). At the same time the statement “There is no excuse for ignorance.” (Jamie Dunmore?)

A few weeks ago I had been thinking about debt using the icon of a mortgage on one’s primary residence, and comparing this to questions  we might ask prior to considering to enter into any domestic relationship, investment of time. Now I find myself wanting to apply these questions to prospective vocations, and decisions about how to invest my life in abundantly beloved eco-consciousness, rather than more ignorance.

So, in that context, I revisit these questions, and would love to know if you also find them helpful for vocational and domestic relationships as also sacred political and economic relationships:

Do I want to only look at new ones,
never been used,
or is that a too restrictive market,
too competitively priced
for virginity of place and relationship on Earth?
And, is such redemptively-intended virginity
an asset or a deficit,
in which ways?

Could I rather shop in a wider market,
someplace more gently used
and well-maintained,
someplace with smooth natural wood and stone,
rich in character
and not the smell of fresh acrylic paint,
when I could have wisteria and roses
lavender and mint
wafting through those big brown
or blue
or grey
or hazel door and window frames.

If this prospective relationship
does not bring sanity and health and pleasure and beauty
then is that not a contract violation
and time to be thinking about separation
so Self and Others can get back into our confluent market
for a better fit with this Time;
not a decade ago?

Have my needs
and wants
and preferences changed,
while my life partner’s and vocation’s may feel
boxed in,
no more room for additions,
lack of flexible floor plan,
too big or too small?

It happens.

Have I changed my definition of paradise
“beloved community”
is not who I am still investing in.
My fellow pilgrims, and places, and their path,
seem entrenched in incompatibility.
They have grown older,
more cracks in the plaster,
wear in the not-so-natural rugs,
missing some shingles on the roof.
Does the view from outside
look more like a weedpatch,
than my intended investment in paradise?

While shopping used expands your permacultural potential,
it also brings its baggage.
All that good and/or bad karma
yours for a down payment
but not always part of what you bargain for.
Did I ask if anyone had ever been murdered here,
or how many toxic fantasies cast their shadows?
Is this place/person service/product/plant
swimming in carcinogens,
tumorous habits growing mold under the roof?
What is prior experience with abuse,
neglect,
deferred maintenance?

Do I have a right to know, to be informed? Could I ask prior co-habitors and contractors with a prospective position/vocation/place/person:

Why are the two of you going your separate ways?
Was this your decision or did it feel more like
your house/spouse/employer gave you no choice?
If it was your choice,
if you have moved on
to something more to your liking,
rather than merely running away
from a smelly situation,
then what does your current relationship
offer you
by way of contentment,
and peace,
with justice and beauty and health,
that is lacking in my prospective investment?

Perhaps there were reasons unrelated to your vocational satisfaction.
Maybe you couldn’t afford to stay any more?
Is this place/person high maintenance, do you think?
Too heavily taxing,
bleeding you through inflated costs of living,
working,
divesting,
dispossession of responsibility
and/or authority,
too much Win-Lose gaming?

Are there problems in the neighborhood/extended family
that I should know about?

Does the plumbing still work?

Are the lights on but nobody’s home?

Would you recommend your house/spouse/job
to your best in-the-market friend?
Why or why not?
What interior and exterior landscape and design issues
did you have?
What did you find were your interior and exterior relational strengths
for future development?
Knowing what you have learned
through your own investment experience,
who do you think would be the ideal partner
for this former place now in my face?

Too much information, or appropriate responsibility to be informed
of which economic and political incarnations we embrace?

Death by Light

We each step into
then through
an isolating silo threshold
of Zero-static flatline,
EgoDeath counter-defining
EcoLove for timeless life.

EgoDeath
an opening
a return to dominating EcoOther
primal identity becoming cellularly disorganized,
sub-organically interdependent chaos,
whole-system universal body-as-mind
pointless-centric
Zero-RNA-fractal/square-root
of light (c = +P = +Yang = +Eulerian Prime Function)
comprehensively ecoconscious ex-formating telligence.

EgoDeath,
an invitation to faith
in
through
by
of
with TransParency of eco’s dark matter balancing dark energy.

EcoLove,
transparency of co-gravitational Time,
Zero-souled
(0)-summed Win-Win,
universally timeless quintessential uniting placeholder,
yang “dark” matter
shadowing hydrogen
as yinyin’s “dualdark” energy
implicately foreshadows helium’s understory
of Earth’s ancestral permaculturing Tree,
ergodically-ionically harmonic-rooted
fractally-seasonally-dynamically branching Time.

And,
with these decomposing definitions vaguely swirling in place,
EcoLove Yin turns to EgoDeath Yang
to race:
“Seems if you’re not messin’ with me
then you’re bleedin’ me blind,
and usually both…
But, when we play nice,
inside and out,
then we can’t imagine
why anybody would think or feel or even hope
they could sell this ecstasy
of EgoDeath.”

Rise Up Islamic Sisters

Rise up
my African Sisters
speak your truths
of intimacy and death
internal monopolizations of feeling desperately dark
suffocating
with hatred and fear and anger
about your man,
your brother
about your here and now lack of relationship.

Listen up
Islamic Sisters
to these Sisters of Perpetual Wisdom
of self-and-other emancipation:

Husband,
your intimacy and passions
fill me with emptiness and longing
rather than fertility and belonging.

Husband,
you treat your milk cows
and that lazy ass dog with all her pups
better than you treat me.

Brother,
your fascination with hatred
technologies of deadly anger,
your greed for Lose-Lose attention
and respect
replace your comprehension of dignity
and producing life-giving outcomes
to regenerate attention,
interest,
consciousness of positive values
within our ancient culture, spirit, religion,
passing forward to our children’s hope and faith
balancing life with death,
in cooperative favor and support
for this deep ecological love
of intimacy and respect
and mutual cooperative hospitality,
we call “Allah” together
co-messiahs
linked through time and space
of regenerating hope.

Sisters
speak your international
yet intimate truths
of good and evil
life and death
regeneration of abundantly warm feelings
and decompositional analysis
of where your young men go so astray
of what is Islamic-normative
to be fully human
to become a man
worthy of our Splendid Sisters.

Author’s note:

Perhaps it is just me, and, if so, then I am about to expose my embarrassingly remedial ignorance once again. But, ISIS and all the “Islamic” hatred and anger of which they have become iconic, feels like an overwhelmingly young to middle-aged male dominated late adolescent cultural gasp reacting against the comparative freedom and wisdom of  a cooperative and egalitarian society with emergent strong polycultural values, whether tribal, or nationally, or even religiously, labeled.

If so, then perhaps Islamic women will peacefully engage their own cooperative internal revolution, speaking honestly and bravely and truthfully to their brothers, even their husbands, but probably not their fathers. That could get a girl killed in some unfortunate places where Allah’s sense of inclusive faithfulness and solidarity as sacred Host feels climatically absent in this suffering time.
