Healthy Democratic Civilizations

Imagine your healthiest body
is a democratic
ego-mind/eco-body
bipartisan empowering organism

Ideally,
most nutritionally,
nurtured by an also open,
living,
dynamic win/win preferential,
evolving,
revolving organic home,
in many anthropological times and places
also known as sacred MotherEarth.

Notice
your democratic mind+body
is an open
holistic
ego+eco-centering
co-invested re-centering,
co-acclimating interior+exterior
bilaterally systemic infrastructure
for democratic health,
rooted in mutual trust.

If your brain is in charge,
this is a democratic charge,
a coordinating
complexly inter-communicating
organic whole system responsive responsibility,
leaving no individual organ or health function
irresponsibly behind,
shunned,
shamed,
solely blamed

Not an autocratic,
from above,
hierarchically patriarchal,
anthropocentrically capitalistic
thought-mind over felt-body matter

Not a republican authority
on upper-caste,
above the neck,
defensive rights,
incapable of long-term
win for leftbrain dominant spirituality
only at the cost of a lose
for rightbrain organic
interdependently felt naturality,
mental+physical health,
bicameral communion intelligence

Bilateral ego+eco communing communication
looking for win+win neurological
whole organic system
democratic resolution
of spiritual v natural wealth issues,
pathologically autocratic cancers,
effective v affective predations,
viral dispassionate dissonance,
rabid and rogue kleptocratic behaviors,
win v lose anthropocentric ego-inflations,
lose+lose anthropological terrors
and global EarthMother decimations,
rather than win+win wonders,
sacred awe of organic Earth’s resiliently healthy
democratic regenerativity.

Now, recall important political statements
influencing your own development:

A family is not a democracy.
A classroom is not a democracy.

Both implied “should not be” statements
almost certainly true
in your own predominant civil empowerment v disempowerment
formative experience,

Embracing win v lose
either-me/or-you empowered competitions
between autocratic teachers and preachers
and not yet mature and experienced
sometimes you solo win,
and usually cooperative children,
maturing civil adolescents
and organically co-passionate young adults
don’t solo win.

Many of whom,
especially those poorer and darker,
will graduate into military-industrializing subcultures
of fear, anger, and threat

Where patriarchal
leftbrain dominant plutocracy
of commanders
over indentured pawns
become reduced to untrusting tools
and win v lose assumptions
that civilization defense requires
high risk,
and high priced,
strategic weapons.

These young brainwashed adults
will certainly not be gathering richly diverse trust experience
in democratic dialogue
over autocratic debate
about the comparative strength
and weaknesses
of win+win caste abolition
of uncivilized injustice
for restoring anthropological+ecological democracy.

So, is it possible to still hear
indigenous sentient wisdom?

Families, like classrooms,
intending young life healthy empowerment,
rather than autocratic disempowerment
of lesser Other
alienated people and alien species.

Not yet mature democracy
grows roots by experiencing robust compassionate Trust,
rather than an unintended civics lesson
in rabid leftbrain anthropocentric autocracy,
as if capitalism
and homophobic whites-only patriarchalism
were historically inevitable
ecosystemic trauma
and anthropocentric apartheid.

As if mutually mistrusting families
and classroom competitions for individual winner power
were democratically healthier
than win+win cooperative models
for shared mind+body
sacred+organic
spirit+nature
ego+ecosystemic
evolutionary civilized wealth

Resonant trust
resilient love
compassion+pleasure

Imagining our healthiest bodies
on our wealthiest days
within anthropological+ecological
co-relational systems
are therapeutically democratic

Self+Other empowering
Anthro+Earth responsible
co-responsive civility
among win+win organisms
non-violently communicating
advocates for polyculturally intelligent
restorative polyamorous EarthFirst Peace
informing and transforming
local democratic justice.

Capitalism
is an economic strategy

that harbors no inefficient room
for unconditional democratic love,
to live generously or die trying
(and not slowly fade away
not trying)
and for concomitant
co-arising

wealthy polycultural values.

Polyamorous democracy
incorporates a synergetic culture
with an ecotherapeutic systemic plan,
a politically healthy theory
rooted in cooperative intent
and robust multicultural
winSelf+winOther preferential values.

Expectations of cruel
and unusual win v lose punishment
strategies for kleptocracy’s
disempowering
undemocratic injustice
is what runaway cascading capitalists
dream of drowning in
each blighted night
of winners v losers devolutionary
patriarchal caste supremacy.

Anticipation of kind
and natural+spiritual win+win
nondualistic
nonviolent communication rewards
for restoring Earth’s healthy green justice
is what global democrats
wake up to
each co-arising economically buoyant
panentheistic dawn

Of ecosystemic peace
prevailing over
anthropocentric LeftHemisphere dominant restlessness
about competitive capitalism

health empowering transformation
of polyamorous communicating patriotism
rather than continuing with business as usual
monoculturing capitalist fealty.

Life’s Ups and Downs

Families
and communities,
hopefully becoming like extending families,
and that would make them some form of faith communities,
relying exclusively on top-down authorities
to empower today
and tomorrow’s cooperative faithfulness
to ourselves
to each other
to Earth
to the Universe, perhaps,
are also families and communities
under-invested
suboptimizing
bottom-up maturing co-empathic responsibilities
to learn nutritional elements
and synergetic trends we democratically trust
and multiculturally feel
for their optimizing wealth of health potential.

And, those other darker
not clearly articulating our Golden Ruling DNA-RNA heritage,
and those clearly distrusted
as anathema growing trauma’s immunities from growing healthy egos
and evolving nutritiously faithful communities
and Earth’s regenerative spiral trends,
bilaterally co-arising
ego/eco consciousness of Earth
as sacramental cooperative fulfillment
further seeking positive faithful WWW promise,
Win self-economics
Win Other ecologics
Win Earth ecosystemic
organic spacetime
0-soul co-investing moments.

What cooperative fulfilling authority goes down
equivalently invites and resonates with
co-empathic promising responsibilities
emerging from below shared daydreams,
not nightmares,
rising synergetically up.

Climates of health recycling down
so landscapes of wealthy global democracy
rise revolutionary
and sacramentally
and cooperatively
organically up.

Earth’s changing from above climate
seeps up and sweeps down
into each community’s communicating climates
ectosymbiotic and endosymbiotic
creolizing and transubstantiating
into and around
each individual’s internal climates
of organically faithful experience
and desecrating despair, dismay, competing dissonances,
and, so, thereby,
sacredly vice versa,
preferably more actively cooperative Win+Win
than reactively competitive Win v Lose
capitalistic and patriarchal
over-extended
and extractive
gamesmanship.

Families
as organic communities
cooperate best both sweeping up
and seeping sacredly down together
of and for tomorrow’s greatest polyamorous faithfulness,
and minimal monoculturing
climates of despair.

Patriotic Songs for Matriotic Dancing

I believe it was Buckminster Fuller
who first posited
a prime appositional,
like Yang and Yin,
but his was:
Energy is to physical nature
as Information is to metaphysically languaged systems.

And,
if we were to add the Yin and Yang
of this positivist-regenerative observation,
we could further nuance regenerate with degenerate:
Energy is to cooperative complexity
and, therefore, Entropy is to competitive chaos,
as Information is to regenerative ecosystemic co-intelligence
as fractal ExFormation (dialectical decomposition, reversion, spacetime reversal)
is to dualdark ego/eco-systemic
pre-consciousness bicameral assimilation,
mutual win/win appreciation
of wanted thoughts
with needed feelings.

We might further speculate
that organic nature
convex (yang) unfolds
following RNA/DNA fractal-fertile deep-learning functions,
revolutionarily and dialectically co-resonant
bilateral concavely (yin) infolding,
back and in toward Left-Right nonZeroSum
ego/ecobalancing embryonic climates
of win+win regenerative binomials
OVER
inside lose v lose
degenerative denominations

Three dimensional space
over one bilateral dimension
spiraling
Yang/Yin flow and ebbing
nondualistic
nonviolent
nonverbally felt
4-prime TaoTime.

And,
should all the above make neuro-therapeutic sense to you
as to ecotherapeutic wanna-be
me,
especially if also with you,
then this might help us understand why
those systemic theologians
and organic teleologists
and positive ethologists
and social capital psychologists
and health optimizing ecologists
who open their dialogue to the broadest cooperative points
of appositional dipolar compare and contrast
such as Western Monotheistic Capitalist
is too seldom also
an Eastern Polytheistic Cooperativist

Hypostatizing hypotheses of co-arising co-gravitation
are those most sacred Gaia articulate
about EarthMother’s climate health revolution
of ComPassion Pleasing Communities
within wealthy interdependent bio-regions,
post-modern and pre-indigenous
invisible in/ex-formational hands
of bicamerally balancing spirit/nature
mind/body
metaphysical/physical
compassionate communion intent.

If we choose to practice singing together
across our comfortable dissociations
in resonant harmonies
in multiculturing love is healthy languages,
we may also learn
we can dance together
while ecotherapeutically singing

If we can learn to dance together
in cooperative partnership steps,
rather than competing for control
during partisan locked-up frozen marches
over and against each others’ steps,
rather than within and for,
we have and can do more
ego/ecological flowing dance,
and must,
because we AnthroMind/EarthBody can

We can also use these same neurosystemic skill sets
for achieving more resonant climate-passioned minds
and pleasure landscaped resilient bodies
deep learning Earth’s CoOperative PolyCulturing Opera.

We are each wired to capture learning
to grow into re-invested loving
together,
compassionate Earth-stewards,
Golden Rule communicating lovers,
our lost love songs
already express
we do in fact malgovern and deflower Gaian Earth

Political and economic apartheid,
divided by competing silos of monoculturing displeasure,
we own nothing but a future of further potential ego v eco dis-equilibrium,
Yanging against Yin
rather than Yang+Yin-Squared-Dialectal Win/Win
through less anthropocentric song
and myopic dance

Cooperative gaming wu wei
informs and exforms communication
waking full-octave harmonics,
quaking midway crown/root hearted opulence.

If we can sing and dance cooperatively
better than competitively
then we can also love and learn,
passion and pleasure
work and play
multiculturally,
healthier than competitively,
monoculturally disabled.

We sound better together
as Earth’s global gospel choir,
and look better too,
than we do as Earth’s mutually mistrusting
decomposing
hooded shame of our own rifle-aiming mess,
pests,
rabidly overpopulating pestilence,
instead of resonant awakening opulence.

We really only have the one bicameral balancing choice
for healthy wealth hypostatic union
of crown and heart and root.

Who would choose Nationalism First pestilence
over cooperative EarthPatriotic opulence,
captured by an irreligious cloud of unknowing
guarded by abused and neglected sociopaths?

Ergodic dialects,
ionic balancing binomials,
good humors and climates,
ironic balancing paradoxicals,
analogically dipolar ecologicals,
deep listening nonzero-sum co-intelligence
of hybrid spirit-minds/nature-bodies
within cooperatively opulent ego/eco
sacred/organic neuro/biosystems.

We all sing out Yang’s complexity
and dance in Win+Win Yin’s chaos-changing flow
this same bilateral double-binding co-acclimating way,
just as our sacred bicameral hearts
each and all beat opening
to close
cooperative/competing co-intension
Both-And extensions together
better danced belonging together
than lonely sung apart.

I believe it was Bucky Fuller who first LeftBrain languaged:
Ergodically reiterative energy is to bilaterally communicating physical nature
as Ionic-Bionic In-Ex Formation is to metaphysically languaged systems,
cooperatively responsible singing
while responsively dancing co-passioned pleasure

Brains in MindBodies

A mind,
I think,
should be a brain
still in a living organic body
in homeostatic cooperative relationship.

A human mind
could become mid-sized, just right,
and left,
not too hot, not too cold,
not too light, not too dark and heavy,
yet sometimes too complexly dense with chaos theories
rather than synergetic creolizing hypotheses
favoring thermodynamically ego/eco-balancing biosystems,
relying on double-binding feedback loops
of endosymbiotic cooperativity
within ectosymbiotic acclimations
without

Maintaining polypathic health
of multiculturing interreligious relationship,
dipolar interdependence
slowly synergizing wealth of further enculturations
into even more polypathic bicameral balance.

A mid-sized just-right humane ecosystem
is a horrible potential to waste
to too-closed off entropic loss
of regenerative life energy,
dissipating off into cognitive v affective dissonance,
both verbal and non-verbal dissolution,
near death without open-systemic maturing time.

Aging is post-revolutionary degenerative maturation,
quieting grace.

Suicide and depression,
repression and ecopolitical suppressions
are pre-revolutionary,
before their regenerate maturing fullness
of fertile time.

A mind
is a brain
within a fertile
well-timed
pre- and post-revolutionary
sacred acclimating body.

Sacred Time Travel

My body restrains my mind.
Logic as ecologically constrained,
naturally rational,
like rain does not fall up
unless I am standing on my head.

Embodiment also limits my mind.
Imagination often resists such sparse powers,
yet thrives on simplicity
without devious duplicity.

I can imagine pleasure of mind
capable of visiting China for an hour one day
and one night,
a particular coastal town,
a particular family,
a particular other body
looking back at me
imagining how he would look and sound
to someone like me
from a coastal town in the U.S.
And then my mind’s eyes become his,
looking out at his loved ones
and actively distrusted ones
and his vistas and landscapes and climate smells
and hopes and fears.

Then the tip of South Africa
in the next hour,
then visiting both Syria and Korea
five hundred years ago
to explore constancy and change
in how we look and sound,
smell and taste,
how we feel trusting and mistrusting
and how we might feel about my ego-mind
left disembodied behind

Then visit again five hundred years from now
to notice in this same variety of ego-
and eco-
conscious passion ways.

In all these disembodied images
my frequent flyer
yet frugal ego remains
relentlessly enclosed
by limitations of my own body’s discontinuous memory
of ego-eco recentering mind,
favoring transparent fluidity of confluence,
aesthetics of peace
contagious passions
pleasure in symmetry
full-color harmony

Therapeutic integrity of time travel
resonantly trusting in
and dissonantly mistrusting out
momentarily before breathing back in
with equanimity.

Becoming extended out through Earth organic
space and time,
only and finally to come back to rest
within polyculturally edified
yet eco-politically simplified
reconnecting presence
of still ego/eco centering me

Hoping you will love how I look and sound,
smell and taste,
feel and empathically trust
at least as much as my mind can
comprehensively engage phylogenic connection

We human natures each and all meta-morphically breathe in,
evolutionarily extend out
to transcend mere ego images,
befriending frugal flow of trusting EarthTribes
past history
and future mystery.

My body restrains
and trains my mind
as anthropocentric evolution constrains
organic Earth’s co-empathic ethology,
as Earth ethotic landscapes
retrain out
restrain in
sacred climates of compassion.

Sacred Ecology Meets Game Theory

The healthiest and wealthiest ecological objective
of designing and playing life
is to optimize potential for continuing reiterative relationships
and transactions,
positive communications
and communions,
as long as possible.

Win v Lose
Either Ego-inside Or Eco-outside
InCaste v OutCaste
HomoSapiens v OtherSapiens
ZeroSum monopoly games

Such as unmitigated capitalism
and narcissism
and patriarchalism
and monotheism
quickly devolve

Diminish down to one supremacist ego-political Winner,
which leaves the rest of us behind
as out-caste Losers.

Yet if this relentlessly Might Makes Right game were ever done,
the omnipotent Winner only wins
to lose our organically cooperative
belonging together
network of interdependent relationships,
intelligent transactions
(whether “artificial” or “biological,”
digital or analogical),
authentically bilateral communications.

Win/Win
BothEgo/AndEco
Not-Not Positive NonZero-Sum
double-binding equi-valent virtue norms,
such as Golden Ruled,
optimize options of Tit-for-Tat reiterative
continuously vital,
“wrapping in” integral anticipation,
gifting-forward virtues like “benefit of the doubt,”
delayed democratizing reward
robustly continuous, contagious pleasure,
unto panentheistic perpetuity
of this same naturally cooperative
individual mind/body
and anthropological/ecological
sacred/organic virtuous gaming network.

Win v Lose narcissism is too often confused with messianism,
like patriarchal Zionism overwhelming patristic Judaism,
in which
individualistic and nationalistic pretensions
of in-caste efficacy
are betrayed by narcissistic decline,
like Goliath losing a War, to loser shepherds

Win v Lose nationalism will,
if too monoculturally successful,
cause its own disastrous fall
from sacred grace.
organic place
sacred space
organic face
sacred race
toward virtuous communication games.

It is possible to have a healthy interdependent national culture
more matrimonially receptive than patrimonially aggressive

Not narcissistically nationalistic,
more inter-religiously co-intelligent,
cooperatively messianic,
playing nicely, and joyously,
with other win/win uniting nations
nurturing healthy Earth subclimates
and landscapes
winning polyculturally regenerative outcomes
for pantheistic children
and animistic saplings
and buddhist buds

It is possible to avoid personal and political messiah complexes,
lethally elitist exceptionalism and nationalism,
by recognizing we can choose to play
a healthy co-messianic
co-empathic
co-intelligent game
for waging bodhisattva peace
and dharma compassion.

Messiah complexes are idolatrously narcissistic,
about what I can control
buy
dominate to save the unwashed outcastes
from their unenlightened selves.

Co-messiahs are about what we are One-AnthoMind/EarthBody doing together
to co-redeem our holistically regenerative EarthTribe.

“[Anthropocentric] Permaculture is not the [polyculturally win/win] landscape,
or even the skills of organic gardening,
sustainable farming,
energy efficient [natural] building
or eco-village development
as such,
But it can be used
to [integrally] design,
establish,
manage and improve
these and all other [synergetic] efforts
made by individuals,
households
and communities
(and nations)
towards a sustainable future.”
David Homgren, “Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability”

The healthiest objective
of playing long sacred life
is to optimize Win/Win relationships.
whether speaking of an individual organism
or an individual interdependent nation
or an individual co-intelligent
co-empathic
co-passionately pleasing species.

Who’s DisAbled Now?

I have an Elder RightBrain prominent son
to watch and listen to,
to feel confluent and resonant with,
to love
as any parent with silent old-soul child

Yet this is more of a mutual mentoring of
not sad

not mad thalamus
begets resiliently glad
within a vocally limited

My speechless,

This today
he is expecting

Now, if I understand A. Damasio correctly,
this BrainStem with Thalamus primal RightBrain relationship

Here we find central communication and locomotion relay networks

not talking, but holistically together
when not fragmented apart

(0)-Root BrainStem + = (-,-)
peaceful polynomial default
felt healthy-wealth inside
responsively fluid,
and safety outside
confluently stable.

My speechless son
remains entirely unconflicted
about control:

smells and tastes,
digestive/nuture feelings
within his touch-embodied
and non-touch disembodied
days and nights
free to roam

BrainStem intergenerational memories
of familial culture
and landscape climate
communication and locomotion,
chemistry and hormones,
only occasional acute pain,
night seizures,
disrupting pleasure’s peaceful norm.

He knows,
without capacity of climate change awareness,
that he lives in a lavishly Win+Win
co-arising +1 Ego = -(-0) Eco-logical
bicamerally intelligent abundance
of Gaia’s Hypothesis

Here-perceptive + Now-receptive,
which is where he always feels SafeHome,
until it isn’t

When he becomes someone else again
with some capacity to respond
with ecstatic belly laughs
to what LeftBrain dominants
hear as Win v Lose competition
reproducing acute vicious anxiety,
not predicting a return
to chronic virtuous anticipation

He cannot imagine negative-intended communication,
he is not capable of feeling
engrossed in present peace,
good-humored resonant anticipation.

At his Win v Lose strongest pain/threat moments
he expects suffering together,
not apart,
because neurosystemic trauma
has not significantly disrupted his interpersonal supports,
allies,
compassionate caregivers
to whom he offers angelic pleasures
of sharing perfect grace.

Not for one moment is he capable of choosing
to see and hear that other LeftBrain Dominant possibility,
that he might live amongst Win v Lose cheaters
sad and mad Anthropocene deniers,
anti-empathic distrusters,
paranoid homophobic anti-pleasure rapturists,
nihilistic Lose-SacredLove + Lose-OrganicLife
players in EarthTribe’s sandbox of despair.

My son has no nightmares
without warm company of day-stallions
running through his Left+Right re-balancing thalamus,
laughing eco-messianic,
humaneMind/diviningBody bodhisattva angelic,
amongst others sharing our Beloved Democratizing Win/Win Unity.

So, this is why my speechless son
is the happy and warm nurturing center
of each room and outside space we enter.

Where he is,
that is also my best anticipated here/now center,
as his is mine.
And this is why
I try to also see his Win/Win-Only RightBrain PolyAmorous WorldView,
through his positively resonant thalamus
inducing co-arising nondualistic peace
within empathic feeling me,
mirroring my own joy with his glad not sad
NewLeft +,+ aspirations with OldRight +,(-,-) BrainStem
Crown/Root
Yang/Yin spiraling passion’s pleasure flow.

It’s not hard, really,
this polyamorous bodhisattva
democratizing grace.

In fact, I find his vulnerable trust
in unblemished interpersonal transparency
therapeutic.

He reminds me
to review those moments when I have felt healthiest and happiest,
safest and most comfortable,
compassionate and please

Some blissful form
and nurturing function
of regenerative +1 ego-performance
and -(-0) depolarized felt outcomes
of EarthTribe’s Crown/Root celebration

Remembering full climax experiences,
full boom and bloom,
agapic/erotic co-incidentally co-arising
nondual eternally resilient ecstasy
of neuro-sexsensory memory.

Whose faces and what songs and dances and romances
can I remember?
with richly nurtured anticipation?

Which tastes and smells
sounds and sights
touches and feelings
most resonant and poignant,
fill my WinCrown/WinRoot polyamory?

I may be alone
but never feel lonely
in these moments.

With these warm memories
of greatest polypathic climax,

The only resonant thalamus way
solitary memories can be imaginatively enhanced,
is if these compassionate experiences
extended family and friends

Fellow sojourners through organically impassioned life
and degenerative death,
fellow bicameral heart-beaters,

MAD Crazy Choices

Believing you are for growing economic opportunities
and shrinking financial risks
AND
believing, to do so,
we must tolerate shrinking environmental EarthMother health
and growing nature’s nutritional pathology,
is a confusion of cultural ways
and climate means.

There could be no such anthropocentric thing
as a resilient economic system
that is ecologically extractive,
degenerative

Just as there could be no such thing as a healthy economic system
that is not also a politically cooperative,
more than competitive,
systemic network of compassionate relationships
and appreciative transactions.

It could not be news
that we do not get more
and more
and more valued goodies
out of a relationship
when we invest less
and less
and less
within that relationship.

This is a relationship
that will surely end in divorce
heartbreak
animosity
painful loss
of sacred marriage

Between red-blooded anthropological resilience
and green-beloved ecological resonance.
