Supremely Courted Systemic Feelings

I believe it was Alfred North Whitehead,
an early developer of cognitive systems thinking,
who observed frequent miscommunication
and confusion
and chaos
over bilateral complexities
of Set v isolated Individual issues
within a systemic set
of inter-related issues.

This comes to mind
as I listen to another lose/lose partisan debate
about democratic U.S. civil defense
of appropriate constitutional law
and socially egalitarian order
during this current SupremeCourt
public badgering
bullying
verbal ballistics.

A question is asked
in defense of
an individual health care policy
scheduled to soon reappear
on the constitutionally controversial
democratic health care
and resilient wealth defensive
Supreme Court docket.

Yet the democratic historical system
of evolving eco-political enculturation
education
expansion
win/win reflection
co-invested viral multicultural infestation
global and local peace restoration
(not so much win/lose pontification)
is seldom explicitly voiced
as a shared discussion experience
bicamerally favoring global health outcomes
through mediating and mentoring
compassionate communication safety.

In part
because systemic questions
frames
contextual intelligence
curiosity about responsibly held concerns
are better processed
more democratic-health accessible
more empowered
more enlightened
through open-systemic dialogue
than closed win/lose individualistic egocentered debate.

A central multicultural systemic question
has to do with the U.S. constitution
as a de-contextualized
de-historical monocultural dogmatic document
of a closed set democratic rights tradition
both static
and fundamentally originalist
as Democracy’s Holy Grail

Standing apart from a regenerative EarthSystem
of expanding
enlightening
empowering
democratizing win/win co-empathic history
extending our family
and sacred tribal
and secular state consciousness
to include all public life-health systems
for restoring justice
and compassionate peace-felt communication networks.

Which was more the multicultural value mindset
of Enlightenment Era
constitution-signing
U.S. StraightWhitePatriarchal ForeFathers,
largely left-brain dominantly educated
and competitively rewarded
for verbal debate acumen
more than more right-brain
ego/eco-systemic thinking and feelings
potentially win/win healing
more than win/lose further elitist wounding.

Declaring democratic health
interdependently determined to promote optimal
integral well-being
by turning away from

Autonomous apartheid
hierarchical defensiveness,
patriarchal,
supremely narcissistic
from-above
closed
unchanging
divinely designated elite monoculturalism
monotheism
egocentrism
anthropocentrism
of a StraightWhiteMale
made in God’s patriarchal capitalist
win/lose jealous and punishing
retributive,
and not redemptively re-distributive,
EarthHistoric System

As if a ProDeath Network
of compromised competition choices
too comfortable with military-industrialized
win/lose defense of democratic nationalist constitutionalism
rather than win/win compassion
for democratic global natural/spiritual
bicameral
bilateral
binomial communication-empowering systemic health
evolving
revolving harmonically resonant Constitutions
accessible to past through future optimizing
public and climate health wealth

To, eventually,
as historic multicultural consciousness expands,
and restorative egalitarian justice systems evolve,
as RightBrain interdependent enlightenment flows out,
and as LeftBrain ego/eco-centering empowerment strengthens,

Become a truer
more multi-goodfaith balanced,
healthy systemic democracy
of and for all residents,
humane natures
and divine spirits,
people and plants
and bioregionally cooperative
win/win
healthy systemic
local through global planet.

A better systemic question
for a healthier democratic nation
and Earth:

How do you support
the continuing eco-political WinElite and WinNonElite
emergence of empowering health care giving
and enlightened wealth care receiving
within your own growing
resonant and resilient
multiculturally co-empathic communicating
EarthJustice system?

Or are your mentoring
and modeling aspirations
for healthy interdependence
for wealthy multicultural democratic values
somewhat less enlightened
and more disempowering
than supporting our original democratic experiment
in ongoing self/other GoldenRule
evolving co-governance systems?

Responsible and co-responsive,
vulnerable and transparent,
actively curious and quietly courageous,
win/win committed yet good faith humored,
anti-unrepentent predative monoculturing systems
by multiculturally favoring
restorative healing democratic justice

For all God’s sacred creations

Loving Two As One

Culture
is to Climate

As Spirit
is to Nature

As TheoLogical Reflection
is to EcoLogical Experience

As MetaPhysical
awareness and thinking
are to Physical
sensation and
internal feeling/external touch associations
reassociations
preassociations
dissociations

As One
co-arising
dipolar
binomial
BiRelation-Twoship

I find two ways
to have faith in this prime
eco-political relationship,
one interior
to two exterior/interior
as NonEmpty systems
are to ZeroCentric particulars,
as Physical causes
are to Meta-Physical/Phoric
Poly-Pathic/Phonic
presilient/resonant
bicameral double-bound/co-binary effects.

I believe
multicultural health
and power
have nothing to do with,
or say to,
or listen with compassion for
deference to each cause/effecting Other
inside impressed
as also outside already manifest

in tension with not yet premanifest
with co-passionate communing sufficiency,
active curiosity,

I further believe
these integral flowing double-yin = yang variables
are integrally unrelated
and unrelatable sameness,
incommensurable
to strong synergetic Yang binomial
bilateral
bicamerally redundant communications

Because they are one historic

More of a mutually positive correlational metaphor
of dipolar contrast
than a competitive negative correctional
bipolar analogy
between rightbrain sacred theology
of interdependent democracy
and leftbrain secular ecology
of multicultural communication.

Uncomfortable with anthropocentric

Seminal Enlightenment

When I was in an interfaith seminary
I noticed three models
for understanding a faith community’s purpose
in a democratic and diverse society.

  1. Conservation of SelfRighteous Anger

To compete with,
and thereby degenerate the powers of,
sin and evil and ignorance
in a monoculturally untrustable
hedonistic
degenerating society
destined for just rewards
of hellfire and damnation
because untrustworthy
and untruthfully obscuring privileged
eco-political capitalist patriarchalism.

  1. Liberating from EgoCentered Fear

To rescue us individual sinners,
benighted Earth defilers,
from our capitalist-patriarchal
competitive
oppressive
suppressive anti-feminist
homophobic
racist
ageist anthropocentrism;

To redeem our hopelessly negative
deviant bad health choices,
monoculturing,
left-brain dominantly encultured
verbal miscommunications,
disunions,
despairing experience of eternal apartheid,
loneliness,
unease and disease.

  1. Empowering win-ego/win-eco CoMessiahs
    To cooperatively enlighten each Other
    to grow in compassion
    and non-violent integrity of communication,
    internal communion experience
    and external harmonic community
    for active eco-political hope,
    cooperatively empowering faith,
    deep learning multicultural love.

When I went to Public Administration graduate school,
I, thereby,
noticed three models
for understanding a democratic constitution’s purpose
in a healthy society.

  1. Red Anger Management
  2. Blue/Green Repurposing Win/Lose Fears
  3. Ultra NonViolet
    Whole EarthPeace
    Open ZeroZone
    Win/Win EgoEco-Systemic
    BiCameral CoOperative Empowerment

Investing in HealthPower

I think the political left
makes too much noise
about enlightened democratic goals
of our LeftBrain dominant
white property-owning
ForeFathers

To be respectfully
and resonantly heard
by economic RightWing Christian,
and other Supreme-Dogmatist,
capitalists who don’t make enough noise
about Jesus’s multiculturaly liberating GoodNews

That win/lose capitalism belongs
to systems supporting economic privilege
while powers of global
liberal
lavish
radical
profound Love
belong in multi-faith cooperative enterprises,

Sacred Communion
divinely empowering Realms
Heavens
Paradise
and humanely enlightening
even the most merely natural and secularized EarthTribes
of co-redeeming deep listening circle value,
Commons Truth,
empowering Ways,
enlightening Means,
embodied healthy Beauty,
restorative Justice,
resilient Peace

Perhaps if we could bicamerally invite
a multicultured fluent
multicolored spectral dialogue
we might discover a democratically healthy Constitution

Influenced both by RightWing GodLanguaged
historical
new-nationalistic patriotism
to build a sense of solidarity,
and by LeftWing EarthCooperative economics
to build healthy
cooperative multicultural values

Regenerating blue/green/red/yellow/blue/purple/orange
black lives interdependently
multigenerationally matter

Within Ultra-NonViolet EcoPolitical Circles
polypathic

polynomial YangStrength
equals not(not) polynomialYintegrity,
or face climate unhealthy global consequences

Polyvagally neuropsychological
sacred/secular bicameral
Right/Left bilaterally integral
safe-wealth/healthy
economic/political
ecosystemic/egocentric
democratic mind/body Constitutions
non-violently communicating
for polyculture-optimizing values
between people,
all organic creature populations
including plants,
and Earth our shared home planet.

Bodhichitta Joy

Bodhichitta:

Is a supremely multicultural
golden elixir
overcoming sovereignty of death,
fear of mortality,
anger against loss
and suffering
and dispassionate inhumanity.

Is an inexhaustible
infinite
poly-rational treasure
eliminating,
absorbing,
healing poverty
in
and on
and over Earth’s orbiting
revolving
spiraling seasonal path.

Is supreme medicine
that quells
dispels Earth’s disease,
monoculturing unease,
swells polyculturing ease,
communion,
multiculturally intelligent communication.

Is a tree sheltering all living creatures
wandering
wondering
tired
retired
retreading this cooperatively-held path
of conditioned
reconditioned,
autonomously
interdependent,
mortal existence
immortal consciousness.

Is a universal bridge,
nutritional language,
healthy wealth
leading to liberal liberating liberty
from unhappy,
stingy,
conserving,
hoarding states of defensive birth
and child uncare.

Is a dawning moon of mindbodies
dispelling
respelling tumorous torment
of disturbing conceptions,
perturbing new moon misconceptions,
burbling cognitive dissociative dissonance,
gurgling bicameral full moon resonance.

Is a great sun
ultimately removing misty ignorance
of MotherEarth icons,
EarthMother original sources
resourcing our ecofeminist healthy home
in joy.

ReStoring EarthPeace

Now that Restorative Justice
has raised her Gaian ecological purpose,
to restore multiculturing peace
in polyphonic
polypathic Turquoise Eden,
how do you continue to justify
a win/lose Retributive Justice evolutionary philosophy
of law and moral order
as contributing to healthy
win/win
regeneratively revolutionary democracy?

Asked the ecosystemic Judge
of UnitingNations jurisdiction.

Restorative Justice
was never intended to be effective
where either victims
or predators
are unwilling,
often incapable,
of re-engaging in cooperative
interdependent
win/win dialogue,
egalitarian discernment
in-between Trust
and MisTrust
and hostile DisTrust.

So you argue
win/win regenerative assumptions
of natural/spiritual creatures
are not safely,
and not realistically, accessible
for all the healing dreams and purposes
endemic to our Gaian muse of Justice?

An insufficiency
of experience
with healthy democratic peace;
yes.

And,
how will continuing to primally rely on win/lose retribution,
where victims and a healthy society
are presumed to Win
by punishing criminals
and Loser scoflaws,
lead us toward this noble,
and globally multicultural, goal
of achieving healthy democratic peace
for all Earth’s regenerative creatures?

Retributive Justice
is the State’s weapon
to protect the Common Good
from further injustice,
a deterring threat;
not a tool
or medicine
toward an actively remediating peace,
domestic
or international,
private
or public resonant health.

How do you respond
to peace therapeutic win/win possibilities
of multiculturally mediated dialogue
to bring together victim compassion
with wrongdoer remorse,
without hyperactive threat of criminalization;
As compared to current Retributive Justice outcomes,
case loads,
imprisoned and exploited populations
of marginalized misfits,
disproportionately poor
and dark-skinned?

Traditional patriarchal systems
do not over-invest
in democratic health
or rights
of our predative
and victimized,
traumatized
feminized
marginalized
raped and pillaged citizens,
as these are not well-established
in win/win cooperative investments.

I’m not sure
arguing for further patriarchal
competitive win/lose capital-investments
helps your justice through win/lose punishment
cause.
You invite the Court to question
whether anyone is capable of sufficient Trust
toward resiliently democratic peace,
internal as external,
to actively communicate egalitarian
restorative
healthy democratic choice-making,
Facing toward compassion,
facilitating win/win disciplines,
expanding ego-recentering non-violence
therapeutically mediating ecosystemic compassion.

Privileged Cultures AfterThought

It feels fascinating
that horny voracious passions
dissipate in the presence of ego-centered fear
of pain and suffering
and ego-defeating loss,
disability and predative performance anxieties,
wounds,
death,
short-term through permanent
degenerating energy,
absence of active hope
for future holistic integrity.

In this time of climate degeneration
fear and cultural distancing need,
frustrated leftbrain dominant
StraightWhiteMale monoculturing horniness
looks culturally privileged like,
sounds prejudicially like,
feels and touches sacred EarthMother like,
smells and multiculturally
creole tastes like
manically monoculturing
predative redmeat energy states
of fear-and-anger inducing rabidity
rather than restorative green regenerative passion
for multicolored
trans-generational
testosterone/estrogen
yang/yin
pansexual win/win
inclusive cosmic integrity

Of cooperative green/blue energy
power
EarthPeace compassion.

Please Do Panic

Writing yet another note to my straight white CongressMan,
asking him to Please, Do Panic
about all this fear-based non-legislation
undemocratic fascist
nationalistic Win/Lose evolutionary corrupt
democratic devolution
going on around
and within us,

I’m wearing a white 1970s vintage Tshirt
from Castro Street’s Don’t Panic
political resistance and celebration
apparel.

Fifty years later,
I think it is well past time
to take the cooperativist
win/win panic plunge,

With a bold
black framed message:

THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT
IS WRONG

My son’s Haitian-American nurse,
married
and straight
as a military-industrialized arrow,
without the slightest quiver
of vocalized doubt,

Sexy darkbrown skin,
greying at his wisdom temples,
and a devout capitalist 7th Day Adventist
family provider man
of second or third evangelical generation,

Wants to know
if he, in 2020,
is affiliated with what my Tshirt says
to the Religious Right of 1975.

Possibly,
but I have always known you
as part of a Spiritual Right,

Which does not
too liberally judge
outside your own sensory satisfactory experience,

And is informed
and transparently curious
to learn from your own
sensory anticipations
of healthy smells
and wealthy tastes,
what feels good
and touches right,

And to responsibly stretch
your own sensory anxieties/anticipations
without blaming
or ambiguously shaming yourself
for not accepting who you are
right now
in this life
flowing toward
who we will become sacredly together,
spiritually and naturally,
tomorrow.

Which must,
in good right faith,
inevitably become a more rooted choice
to not be some other spiritual
or anti-spiritual life,
sometimes anxious about monoculturally competing
and other times anticipating
multicultural engagement
to be most naturally/spiritually right
in the ZeroZone pocket
of just Right EarthNursing balance.

Finding right religion
in natural/spiritual sensory experience;
your own phenomenological journey
embeds our shared ontological history
of sensory
neurological reweaving
re-ligioning psychological
left/right
yang/yin ancient sensory co-arising climax
of co-awareness,
consciousness,
co-operative con-scientiousness,
Ego/Eco-Systemic Balance.

My son’s 7th Day Adventist
Black Lives Matter
Haitian-American straight male nurse responds,

“Thank you.
That’s true.”

“Where can I find this shirt?
I would like one to wear
to our church picnic.
My extended Right spiritual family
will have many paniced health questions.”

And concerns
about green democratic wealth, I add.

“And, as you say,
some surprisingly grateful
gospel faith
anticipations.”

Twitching Chakras

There is something sacred
about sphincter natural functions,
slow milking
and fast plunging
bilateral structures of Pleasure,
Nutrition,
Energy,

And warm wet
spiritually dynamic
chakras
of bicameral heart
and mind
and root

Twitching,
opening to unwillingly close again
in anxiety, negatively,
and in anticipation of more,
positively wider,
deeper,
frictionless,
without dissonance,

Letting go, yet demanding urgent return,
and grasping rhythmically on
toward all that embodies baseline energy
of win/win cooperative ecopolitical chakras

Leading up and down
toward tensed
and thrusting spines

Spiraling toward climaxing spiritual mind
and lusty strings of regenerate embodiment
for future NatureSpirits

With senses
longing to smell fertile YangFathers
to taste nutritional Yang roots
and seeds
with moist mouths
and wombs
and with our YinStretched Chakras
of immensely impressive
multicultural climate repressions,
multigenerational cultural depressions.

Pleading for ThrustOpen
and SlowClose Sesame
further warming developments,

Future imagined health services
of twitching
winking
blinking
sucking nurturing
milking bicameral minds
and hearts
and other regeneratively positive parts

To share
and care
and bare
vulnerable
transparent
co-passionate non-violent verbal
and non-verbal comm-unification,

Empowering win/win investments
Enlightening lovely
romantic
politically cooperative entrapment
enwrapment

CoArising Left
as also CoGravitating Right
co-operatively twitching

Old Run Ins and Outs

Ran into an old friend
just the other day.

Has to have been
50 years
another way.

She made that big mistake
of asking what I’ve been up to.

Well, I’ve been studying
systematic multicultural theology
and, then, regenerative ecology.

Oh,
that sounds nice.
Probably keeps you out of trouble.

Yes, well, I guess it is nice,
but not trouble-free.
Another word
might be “athletic.”

Like soccer?

More like gymnastics
and long distance running.
Anyway,
have you ever heard of Process Theology?
It has a first Christian cousin
in Creation Theology,

Brought to us sytematically
by Matthew Fox,
but also rooted more experientially,
synergetically,
by both Eastern and Western nature/spirit mystics.

Well, sounds like I have some homework
to do–to catch up.

Just Google process theology
or creation theology
or, better, both
and see if you can see
positive correlations
for those with ears
to hear.

Ok, well, thanks.
I’ll get right on that.

Then, look up regenerative ecology,
restorative environmental justice
and try creation ecology–
and maybe positive psychology’s Theory of Original Matriarchal Attachment.
See if they all sound alike
more paradigms for sprouting polypathic
feeding
watering
nonviolent ecological communication
and experiential regenerative theology.

Well, my goodness!
Look at the time…

Exactly,
the space within bilateral time,
Here within timeless Now,
Yang strong atoms
Yin flowing spiraling strings of waves,
LeftBrain dominant monoculturalism
undermining RightBrain prominent multicultural communication
unfolding in-between
chaos and complexity

Alpha and Omega
One and Zero bionic
bilateral double-binding
bicameral
natural ecological egos
and spiritual theological-neurological eco-habitats
sacred within as climates secular without
health reforming multicultural wealthy experience,
collateral compassions
of Zero NonSum-ologies;

Each of these
WinWin strategies
for healthy resilient systems.

Sorry,
had to check my texts.
Kids, you know.
Never stop being a responsible parent
or friend.
Were you still talking?

If a verbal communicator
stands
or sits
or squats in a forest
of non-listeners,
is the cooperative communicator speaking
or just talking within myself?
