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.

Night Before Solstice

Twas night of full Solstice
when all thru my home
Yin is moaning with constipation
while Yang jumps up and down
and back and forth
and in and out,
hoping her Beloved scratch soon will be here
to absorb all screechy itches
she holds so loudly dear.

I’m not in my hairshirt
and not needing a nap,
breathing Yang in
to pray Yin might push out.

As heaven opens
to rain down warm clatter
I co-arise with rich dark-soiled hope
and faith that each full breath matters,
as Yang throws soft pillows
for Yin’s entertainment.

Finally, midnight clears,
stars splatter sky
as Yin pushes out poo
his contented voice lowing,
nestled in dream pillows of ecological manger.

Another perfect MidWay dia-souled-stice,
one last veggie pizza on whole wheat slice,
angels are snoring
their demons ignoring
peacefully awaiting New Year of play nice.

Adventures in ReGenerative EcoNormics

It’s not so much
our cultural value conditioning
that presents a transitional communication problem
about changes of climate
within our Interior
and without
in our Exterior
Landscapes.

It’s more about discontinuous,
internally incommensurable,
cultural values
norms enjoined throughout Earth’s fully domesticated human race
toward humane evolution’s progress,
whether this progress
be calculated one breath
one day
one season at a time
or using a 5-year SWOT Team analysis,
norms and values discontinous because they raise eisegetical internal
and exegetical external eco-logical issues
of dissonance
about Anthro-hyper-critical fear
and existential anger,
no longer capable of hearing
Earth’s more inductively functional ecotherapy messages.

For example:
We may feel deep under our skin
that the norm “respect all life”
means not only the aborted embryo
of future’s hope for regenerating further life
in that human branch,
but it also means finding compassion for the ballistic asshole
terrorist on the other side
of Earth’s eco-culture
raping and slaughtering our children
of all species,
all ecosystems,
natural elements in their normative habitats
of Earth’s warm-wombed evolutionary development.

Perhaps more troubling
on a daily in-your-face basis
is our cultural discontinuity
about respecting all humane nature.

End of sentence for our Golden Rule.

Terrorists and abortionists and most certainly polar bears
and turtles
need not apply for humane racing inclusion
by Rule of not-so-golden exclusion.

But, surely we could not mean this end
for our optimally confluent,
co-commensurable compassion?

My co-arising advocacy for each ego-identity’s inherent dignity,
beauty,
goodness,
health,
vitality,
gift,
grace,
karma,
incarnation,
co-arising reinvestment value,
begins and ends
with sane rational humane adults
acting like mature adults,
in my corner of this ecosystemic Universe?
No further?
What about my kids with cerebral palsy?
Why not the intrinsic value of a yellow butterfly
on a red apple on a breezy early-autumn New England day?
I don’t disrespect deer tics or skunks,
why is it OK to disrespect a terrorist?

Is the reverse corollary of our Golden Rule
that it is OK to disrespect mere RNA-inspired creation,
we only choose to love this newer DNA school
of thoroughly domesticated politics
and commodified competitive economic
Win/Lose evolutionary elitism,
despite our humane capacity to comprehend
Earth’s RNA-rooted cooperative economic and political intent
to unfold
this Tree of Cooperative Life
feeding off Competitive MonoCultural Death,
as dipolar co-arising purpose,
and orthopraxis of synergetic love
as Win-Win ReGenerations for all Earth Tribes.

If we don’t get that this Left-brain deductive blindness
earns us only our Right karma and grace
to try to live with climatic dismay,
struggling against our own discontinuous
and internally combusting/fusing/confusing
view of All Natural Life Matters
to a Health Optimizing Regeneratively Positive
Future ReGenerative Hope and Faith!

If we cannot stand in ecojustice solidarity
with all RNA’s co-informing future ego-risks
and eco-opportunities
for cooperatively optimizing Continuous Quality Improvement
Standards for POLYCULTURAL HEALTH OUTCOMES,

then we condemn ourselves to living with human species’ consequences,
continuing this evolving pilgrimage
toward our own internal “cognitive dissonance” voices,
starting to squeal and screech
our unorthodox ways into our overly Left-brain dominantly
encultured mindbody:

“Hey, DNA,
that ProGenitor God you worship
is RNA’s regenerative spacetime 4-dimensional
fractal icon
of form with function!”

Dissing RNA’s Life Tribal dignity and rights,
commonly held by all Earth’s eco-spaces and places
is like dissing God
or dissing the importance
of this yet not fully born,
still warm-wombed,
embryo of hope in our own future’s biological life.

Embryonic biosystems cannot yet speak
with the same mature life-evolving language
as might an aging terrorist,
should one ever live that long,
living outside and beyond terror of death,
explaining why this monster
could not invest in his own positive regenerativity.

Might it be he simply did not evolve sufficient experience
of our Golden Rule applied to him,
gifting him as Me’s reverse corollary suggests,
gifting Me as his Earth has love-therapized/endeadened-pathologized him,
regenerated/degenerated him,
synergized/traumatized him
as a sleep deprived ego-entity
surrounded by others of similar demised
incarnation for Earth’s own purposes,
as our EcoSoul’s Advent
of Healthy/Empty ReGenerativity.

Discontinuous intuition
is not a substitute for exegetical information
it is an eisegetical subset of deductively-confluent information
that is Right brain temporally inductive
as N(NP)/P = YinYin/Yang = Win-Win/Lose-Lose
regenerative balance and proportion and theory
and rhythm frequency
co-arising functional prime relationship
and reverse-time-memory
tiered binomially Right
as N(NP).

When discontinuous enculturing NP functions
become more climatic,
evolve from chronic dissonance
toward revolutionary consonance
and resonance,
“Please, NOT more NP!” = N(NP) double-negative irrationality,
whether Interior economic
or Exterior political,
then we are Tipping
Advent-ing
toward climatic transition
toward a new cooperative Business As Usual
emerging positive form and functions, healthy,
toward respect for all ReGenerative Life,
political and economic systems
and eco-logical LifeSystems,
co-arise Respect and Dignity for Death
of all Life already lost
to AnthroCentric Despair
about the only life that matters
in this embryonic Advent seed,
evolving Love without,
as Life within.

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,

Gerald OLiver

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?

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?
