The Fourth Principle

The Fourth Principle of Win-humanity/Win-Earth
Permaculture Design (D. Holmgren):
“Apply self-regulation and accept feedback.”
might be understood as an implied corollary
of the Golden Rule.

Why?
The sins and blessings of reactive patriarchy
and responsive matriarchy
are revisited by children
unto the seventh generation.

If we are to develop healthy and robust democratic self-governance
then we must grow cooperative ownership and stewardship of feedback systems,
especially from those whose outcomes are least robust
among our slowly extending global family
of interdependent organisms
and our sacred natural environments.

Feedback comes in two spiraling circles,
virtuously healthy-positive,
which often has some form of symbiotic, synergetic, metamorphic dimension
to love’s transformative evolution,
and viciously pathological-negative
caste-preservative devolution.

Resilient self-regulation requires of us
to anticipate and accept both polarities of feedback.

To welcome both kinds, especially when they are offered together,
within some nondualistic cobinary frame
of appositional dipolar reference,
to neurosystemically experience gratitude for both
painful risk and pleasure opportunity,
organic life’s apparent blessings and curses.

So, whether Republican or Democrat,
or something Liberating Green in-between,
an important litmus test for the savvy political consumer
and tax-paying producer
of national and state and local leadership,
is mature stewardship experience of more perfect unions

Which we sometimes ignore
at our own disgruntled peril,
and at further peril “unto seven generations”
of potentially robust
healthy win/win
polyculturally planning
self-governing regenerators

Bodhisattva PeaceWagers and CoInvestors
in Salvific GoodNews CoRedemption:

  1. How has this candidate for public office
    demonstrated and grown mature self-regulation
    in personal and public economic and political empowering life?

Essentially a question to compare cooperative ownership
and compassionate governance
that resists rabidly competitive elitism,
upper-caste preserving
anthropocentrism
nationalism
and narcissism.

  1. How has this candidate demonstrated growth
    in win+win bipartisan capacity
    to co-empathize,
    co-intelligently learn from,
    and become grateful for,
    positive and negative feedback
    in personal and public economic and political life?
    How might this compare
    to your own trauma-informed life,
    both organic body natural
    and sacred mind spiritual?

Perhaps economically kleptocratic
and politically autocratic public persons
we have been electing and hiring
to apply self-regulation and accept feedback
are giving us to-be-expected answers
to the absence of wiser public sector questions,
too pathologically short-term focused
and anthropocentrically narrow-minded

Questions unmindful of Fourth Principle self-governing potential
for more robust Golden Rule healthy democracy outcomes
unto the seventh win/win regeneration.

Growing Healthier Humanity

A significant line might be drawn
between long-term permaculture design
and agribusiness,
improved this year production
through better and more expansive chemistry,
soil and water and air and light pollution.

We might draw a parallel contrast
between inclusive Earth-nurturing politics
and elitist anthropocentrism

Between human unnatural dispirited purpose
and Earth-nature’s felt wealth
of healthy co-passionate meaning

Between divine cooperation
inducing continuous Yin-flow
belonging in joy
and human competition
deducing discontinuous Yang-strength
of longing to restore Earth Justice

Between cooperative stewardship
and anti-ecological autonomy of human nature’s
competitive capital-dominant rulership.

From a LeftBrain deductive dominant perspective
this line looks like Old School preservation,
of mutual antipathy.
Yet, from a cooperative Left-Right mindbody perspective
this same line
looks and feels
like a dipolar appositional space
for incubating heuristic co-empathic trust

For significant deep learning Both-And co-empathy,
rather than necessarily always and only Either-Or antipathy,
appositionally benign rather than always
and everywhere bipolar toxic

A nonviolently co-passionate practice
of egoMe/ecoWe
+1/-(-0) cobinary
peace-making perspective.

Just as Either-Us/Or-Them cognition
follows Win v Lose
not health-effective outcomes,
while Both-Us/And-Them follows Win+Win
bipartisan transactional resilience outcomes
for EarthGame Day and Night
compassionate Earth-wealth continuance.

So, suppose,
both UpperCaste and LowerCaste positions,
at the risk of oversimplifying a multiculturally caste situation

Republican nationalistic agri-vating business
merely an appositional uncreative distraction
from Democratic polyculture delighting designs
and multicultural power planning

For CoOperative Earth Ownership
and ReGenerative TransForming Governance,
still including some degenerative-decomposing functions,
yet without recreating a runaway waste stream
nor a runaway personal, family, community,
or national nutritional, financial, or health-assurance deficit.

That’s what’s been up-caste
and down-caste
within my bicameral Yang/Yin mind.
What’s been co-evolving with you
and your unconditional love-extending family?

Civilizing Savages

I stumbled over Paul Tillich’s reflection
on the Messiah’s other Great Commission.

The Great Commission we learned in Sunday School
was to go out and convert the barbarians
and savages to Christianity.

Yet this other Great Commission feels like a necessary prerequisite,
like requiring Statistics 1
before wandering on into the further abstractions
of long-term probabilities
and improbabilities
that savages could become barbarians
and barbarians become pagans
and pagans become animated civilians
of pantheistic inter-religious wildness,
as recovered by anthropocentric
monotheistic Statistics 2.

Tillich’s version of St Matthew (5:48) reads
“You must be all-inclusive as your heavenly Father is all-inclusive.”

Jesus has been exegeting perfect love
as favorably contrasted against not-so-perfect love,
and Their conclusion summarizes with
YHWH is Earth’s perfection of all-inclusive love

So this is also our humane divining destiny,
this profound all-inclusiveness,
which would seem to necessarily include
nature worshipping wildness
and MightMakesRight barbarians
within us all.

But, what I wonder,
from my flawed redemptive perspective,
is how could becoming all-inclusive perfection of love
progress anything less than taught by God the enlightening Father
and engaged by Gaia the co-empowering Mother?

These two faces
co-arising nondual all-inclusive love
of hunters and gatherers,
the competitive Patriarchal
and the cooperative Matriarchal
barbarians

Universal-Yang/unitarian-Yin
win/win
bicamerally civilizing Left cognitive minds
inside Right intuitive wilderness bodies.

To perceive oneself as one of the holy civilized
rather than barbaric unwashed
seems to deny indigenous adaptation,
pantheistic adoption,
co-opting cooperative co-passion
extracting from what was polyculturally peaceful
all-inclusively before anthropocentric civilization.

To comprehend myself as civilizing
speaks first to maturing all-inclusive love,
including all the YangNature and YinSpirit
of my wilderness heritage

Embracing my own TerribleTwos savagery,
remembering adolescent hormonal waves
of public supremacy v private intimacy.

To this day,
I must eat when I am hunger,
drink when I am thirst,
sleep when I feel tired
of all disintegrating opportunities.

This healthy development of all-inclusive love
includes the first clue
how to share good co-redeeming news
to be found within every organic tradition,
every rhythmed transition
of which we are each a necessary muse,
but never emotionally sufficient
apart,
in our savage through civil maturation,
co-passionately extending acclimation.

Holistic spirited, growing pantheistically inclusive,
holonic co-redemption excludes prejudicial partiality

A process
in which every interdependent sequence
(stage, frame, network, co-acclimating set)
and inter-relational sample
re-presents the organic whole
of all-inclusive sacred holiness.

A synergetic progress
toward 100% domesticated Yang non-zero probability
that any dynamic state (stage, frame, paradigm) will recur
AND
zero-sum improbabiity
that any co-acclimating organic state
will recur empty of Yintegrity.

Perfectly all-inclusive bilateral passion
like YHWH’s win/win
Gaia Hypothesis

Holy co-acclimation,
from RightElder brain stem savage
Either LeftYang wealth
or RightYin health

Out-caste or in-caste
dissociative identity disformation,
through barbaric LeftBrain verbal monotheistic dominance
versus Elder RightBrain nonverbal pantheistic prominence
of adolescent coming of bicamerally intelligent age

Open to belonging
in longing
for more redemptive cooperations,
all-inclusive polyamorous acclimations

Organically responsive animists
long before
reactive irreligious monotheists

Maturing toward more all-inclusive Left/Right
co-arising Sage/Muse nonduality
of profoundly integral Win/Win love,
within as without,
ego-ethotic as eco-erotic.

Reuniting wilderness-loving civilians
with universally divine inspirations,
organically indigenous acclimations
becoming even healthier democratic news
about both private and public co-passion trends
and co-investment probabilities.

From this view,
it seems curious that culture influencers,
like Popes,
would look back through vast histories of spirited experience
and recover only platonic memories
of God’s priestly invisible hand
and mind
within peak experience Sage passioned heads
but not Muse pleasured bodies

Especially within our long co-acclimating history
of mother-wombs nurturing perfect all-inclusive love,
maturing indigenous infants into savage two year olds

Then letting maturation go
through barbarically wild
hormone-drenched adolescence
pregnantly predicating co-redemptive adulthood
of all-inclusive genders
and polyamorous gender preferences.

What could be more priestly stewardship,
and yet also prophetic promise,
than redeeming blood-baptism’s wilderness birth?

Nurturing healthy animistic support
through all our holy all-inclusive
neurodiverse stages
within WinLeft-WinRight

Bicamerally co-arising
barbarically savage peak experiences
extending all-inclusive love,
transforming the Bodhisattva’s non-othering
Great Inclusive Commission.

Baby Boomers and Bummers

Most Baby Boomers started out hoping to leave life
having continued our Great ReGenerativity,
progressively recycling boundless growth
of optimal Win-Wealth is also Win-Health.

We are the last human generation
with confidence we could leave more than we have taken in.
To give back,
to pay forward
investment in Earth’s cooperative health and safety insurance,
re-assurance.

In this early post-millennial era,
we have a great transitional dissonance
between those who continue believing it is merely realistic,
rationally nihilistic,
to give up on this hopelessly disconnected
non-renewable
non-inheritable dream,
already not accessible to human nature’s consciousness
of internal and external climate disruptions.

And, on the other hand,
there remain those of relentless active faith
that we are here at this time,
invested in this transitional moment,
increasing Win/Win potential
transforming short- and long-term
evolving compassionate lifetimes

To learn from Father Sun’s warming voice of Wind
to balance healthy consumption
with wealthy production
of perennial renewables

To listen
for life’s relentlessly springing up reinvestment
opportunities,
not lifetime for ignoring Win v Lose waste,
risking positive neuro-energy’s potential peacetime resources.

As we turn from seeking regenerative integrity
for the span of one humanely natural generation,
toward the span of one humane-divine
MotherEarth FatherSun prime co-relational life span,
old monotheistic WinWe v LoseThey issues,
flying under banners of nationalistic narcissism,
fade into the waste stream of survival of the bullyist

More synergetically renewed by a new EarthTribal cooperative ownership,
a self-with-other Win/Win democratizing
inter-religious identity
nurturing caregiving Light
and receiving Power

Healthy compassion
with all organisms not pathologically hoarding wealth
of divisive nations,
of dissociated egos,
as this new Left with Right
double-binding
ego/eco-intelligence
for evolving renewable lifetime opportunities
and compassionately deniable risks of addiction
to anthropocentric narcissism.

TwiceTold Tales

Listening to a bus driver mom
speak about her bipolar son
withdrawing from meds,
hoping to qualify
for traumatizing military service

Praising her graduating son’s strong Christian school,
invested in sweaty anger management technologies,
learning to tolerate what and whom
he will not learn to love.

How to respond?
Must we choose only behavioral tolerance stretching
or centering and deep breathing meditations?

She readily acknowledges hearing about centering-breathing
compassion stretching meditation,
but has had no embodied experience,
drawn toward neurosystemic
compassion nurture
and pleasure nature.

Hearing
while not breathing Yang in
to breathe Yin out
probably won’t mean too much to her

Much less breathing in interdependent love
and breathing out isolating fear

Maybe
inhale enlightening God the Father
to exhale peace empowering Holy Spirit

And, with his hyperactivity,
probably easier for him to begin doing this while walking
at some comfortable pace
outdoors,
away from sounds of too much Yang
industrial sounds
and sights
and smells of machines.

He and she might experientially learn,
over extending passion time,
to bring re-centering focus
into indoor sitting and standing,
listening and speaking, voices

Maturing
more Left-Right ego/eco-balanced
interdependent relationships
of cooperative SacredMind/OrganicBody
gratitude

For indigenous wisdom,
Left deductive and Right inductive.

It was past time for her to pull away.
As I watched her diesel exhaust follow her down laurel hill road,
I wondered about why Western monotheistic minds
seem so stuck on seeing “organic” and “sacred”
as if two distinctively different and incompatible worlds.

Why theological beliefs cannot also be teleological faith
and vice versa,
and one need not be more poignant
without the other.

Why human biological nature
cannot also be
sacred-divine ecological nurture,
the still speaking and listening sensory voices
of cobinary transgendered Elders past

Running through rivers of veins and arteries,
through our bones and marrow,
through our brained neuro-streams
engaging in formation
and disengaging out spiration

Sight and sound cognizing minds
with touch and feel intuiting bodies,
absorbing healthy compassionate pleasures
and toxic dispassionate displeasures,
sacred living Earth’s cobinary appositions.

Why must we have such a transcendent divide
between our Creator God of regenerative processes
and our re-creative human natural indigenous mind
evolved from healthy organisms
engaging sacred EarthMother preservation
conservation
Peace Warrior defense?

I can see where a theologically all-powerful God
emerges through monoculturing monopolistic
anthropocentric teleology
anticipating positive health
and monotheistic nurturance.

And,
I can also feel deep teleological meaning
climaxing in a beloved communication experience
of inside/outside co-relationship
inspiring Bodhisattva Warriors
for Gaia Hypothesis polycultural
panentheistic sacred peace
and EarthTribal organic justice

Why is nondual co-arising pantheism
and polycultural teleology
roadblocked by LeftBrain dominant minds?

This dominance over Western monotheism
and teleological anthropocentrism
was historically and culturally,
physically and metaphysically,
bootstrapping a cooperative cobinary lifeline more
and a competitive irreligious deadline less

Toward bicameral Left/Right
Win/Win co-intelligence

OrganicBody/SacredMind co-arising nonduality

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 bad
not mad thalamus
begets resiliently glad
within a vocally limited
compassion nurturing
sensory environment.

My speechless,
yet often charming as also charmed, son
has no thought of how tomorrow could
or would
or should be any different than today.

This today
he is expecting
to become as resonantly
not unpleasant.
not dispassionate.

Now, if I understand A. Damasio correctly,
this BrainStem with Thalamus primal RightBrain relationship
is a polypathic oneness we all have,
regardless of genetics or gender.
Here we find central communication and locomotion relay networks
between the WinMe+WinWe polyamorous cerebral cortex

LeftHemisphere verbally dominant cognitions
and RightHemisphere nonverbally felt intuitions,
synaptic (+,+) cobinary
and aptic (-,-} reverse double-bind

That is,
RightBrain intuitive intelligence
is not only historically-culturally older memory function,
but also what Gregory Bateson students might recognize as
double-bind dipolar
co-arising mutual ‘generate’-‘generate’
Left Ego + Right EcoHistorical messages
of bilateral
CerebralCortex (+,+) = Root-BrainStem (+,(-,-))
bicameral ego+eco confluent
Me+We.dialectical balance
anticipation
expectation
acclimation.

Healthy ego and wealthy eco logically felt
aptic-bliss neurosensory default
for my cherished son and charmed me
vicariously co-empathic We
strolling through the park
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:
of sounds and sights,
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,
fellow breathers,
in-Yang and out-Yin,
back through nurturing time
and mutually nutritional species

United in Mind/Body
Crown/Root healthy democratic
Yang/Yin bodhisattva polyamorous engagement

Climate Health and Safety
sung and danced
with crown and root
thalamatic peace-making integrity

Following Elder RightBrain’s
Win/Win co-empathic golden rule
with all warm organic breathers,

The NonDuality of Love: John 3:16 and Earth’s Ecological Crisis

If John 3:16 is read as,
For God so loved Earth
that S/he gave up Her only beloved Child,
so all future regenerations
with divinely inspired faith
might have eternal love lives

it doesn’t feel quite right.
It doesn’t sound like love,
nor omnipotently benign,
and echoes with justification for wars
and death
and loss
and suffering,
all beginning to smell
like unfettered senseless abortions
of Earth’s full regenerative potential.

Why does changing to a cobinary consciousness
have this more inclusive effect on how we see
economies of cooperative redemption?
relentlessly consistent with political empowerment
that does not include degenerative disempowering
Win later by Lose now
short-term dis-investment strategies.

Why is it OK for fathers to give up their sons
for redemptively justified wars
as if we were just paying a deadly
deeply wounding surtax
but if mothers give up their children
for peaceful and/or therapeutic purposes
some of us call it unjustified abortion?

Why is it not OK for a sacred EarthMother
to sacrifice the health of a beloved infant today
on behalf of a wealthier life for self and others tomorrow
but maybe it is justified
for God the Father
to religiously invest in crucifying death
to redeem our more regenerative future?

The science of neuropsychology
appears to also be the still evolving history
of Elder BrainStem
giving up WinMe v LoseThey surviving birth trauma
to grab hold of WinMe + WinWe thriving
bicamerally cerebral cortex
YangCrown-survival + YinRoot-thrival
timeless co-redemptive love life.

Within our sacred organic ecology,
John 3:16 might be historically mapped as,
For 0-sum Win v Lose BrainStem,
so richly composed of Earth’s DNA+RNA Creation Story,
that S/he gave WinRoot birth
to dipolar co-arising WinCrown
AnthroMind + EarthBody
bicamerally co-intelligent
compassion+pleasure
wealth+health optimizing salvation.

A problem for Win v Lose totalitarianism
is that, Win or Lose,
eventually even the most Central Committee or Cabinet or Cortex
becomes rabid with paranoid survivalist flames
of anthropocentric supremacy
or slowly dies from LoseAnthroCulture-LoseEarthClimate
starvation
through corrupt hoarding for us
necessitating unredeeming abortion of Them

Trying to fool all the not caste-privileged people,
all the aborted future generations of time

Elder BrainStem survivalists
are willing to sacrifice Other’s sons and daughters
in our eco-political Win v Lose strategies
of neurosystemically traumatizing violence.

While God is peacefully loving
all our polyculturally enriched World,
our sanctified caste-defensive navel-gazing
grows anthropocentric EarthTribe disempowerment,
cancerously unenlightened monopolistic hubris
without Ego+Eco worldwide loving co-redemption.

Reptilian Win v Lose survivalist BrainStem
preys and extracts
prays and re-invests through competitions in short-term
short-sighted thinking
we are justified owners
gods and goddesses
kings and queens
sacrificing our living organic EarthHome
in response to self-inflicted crisis

While Win+Win thriving cerebral cortex
soars with global opportunity
through long-term multiculturally regenerative design and planning,
extending compassion’s long-term pleasure for future generations

And yet also slogs on
engaging further Business as Competitive Win v Lose Survival,
through OldBrain trauma memories
monitoring defense against unnecessary risk
of loss and suffering
without eternally felt monotheistic trust

Synaptic anti-pathic distrust
of threats to personal health
and environmental safety,
including beloved begotten children.

so beloving polycultural health
and regenerative climate safety
that we forgive nationalistic evangelical

A Feel For History’s Mystery

Are people who sense a direction in history,
before anthropological history,
on back through prehistory,
who feel their way

Glide through wet organic transmission
transitioning
transformations

Licentiously polypathic mystics?
not quite conservative enough
to color only within orthodox boundaries
of a more resiliently nurtured
polyculturally natured Tradition.

Are those who feel,
without knowing,
only humane history progresses
wombanists of nurture?
and patriarchs penetrating EarthMother’s nature?

Either enlightened way
empowering both,
not rationally speaking deductive science
and reductive mathematics

Not multisensory objective
about this objective
they sense beyond anthropology’s history
within larger gooey stages
of living Earth’s exotic
erotic history?

If polypaths of buzz and boom
become harbingers of doom,
then we dismiss them
too darkly pessimistic,
not objective prophets.

As multicultural cooperativists,
transitional syncretists,
transformative integrationists,
become neuropsychologists
of positively peaceful nature,
then we dismiss these as too optimistic,
not rationally realistic.

Perhaps cobinary transgenderals sense in-between
organic nature’s sacred nurture
erotically animated polypaths

More creolizing forest green
and sky blue
lavishly democratic

To include rippling river systems
and mutually needy molecules
miniscules
mini-schools

Water swimming
air breezing
soil teasing
fire hot breathing

Deranged need to consummate
FatherSun’s enlightening
EarthMother’s empowering
cobinary democratic equivalence

Exploding double-binds
I should not become that,
because I am this,
nor could I want only this,
when I have already warmly felt that.
I should not become…

All of which is true
and false
depending on whether one
is half of erotic two
or merely opposed
to none

An agapic positivist
or a traumatized negativist,
and/or polyphonically coloring
in-between blue and red
in mind and out
of bodied bed

All above bored
should one entertain
a regenerative Win/Win nondualist
rejecting Lose/Lose
bad smell and taste positions

Not landing where we midway greet
our Alpha progressing
LeftMind thoughts
living within
our Omega conserving
RightBody feelings

Much more prehistorically profound
unbound pre-cognitions
such as

If sacred, then not secular, and vice versa.
If divine mystery, then not merely humane history, and vice versa.
If inductively felt, then not deductively thought, and vice versa.
If mythos, then not logos, and vice versa.
If erotic passion, then not agapic peace, and vice versa.
If interdependently unitarian binomial, then not independently universal nomial,
and vice versa.

Yet midway between lie peak coital cobinaries
lusting between each Yang
loving counter-point cosine Yin,
as fertile light harbors desolate darkness
and warm feelings require cold memories.

To paraphrase physicist Steven Weinberg,
The more the universe seems integratively comprehensible,
conscious-able,
the more it also seems double-binding and edged
by nonzero-souls
fluidly aware of primal cobinary relationship.

While Tao’s panentheism dies devoid of historic purpose,
Yin (0) empty of unliberated boundaries,
with Yang (1) interdependent FullColor Octaves
unfolding and reweaving all resonantly felt integrity

Monotheism’s anti-eroticism
remains stuck in dualistic Yang v Yin double-binds

These two together Yin/Yang
appositionally co-arising mystery’s double-pointedness
becoming Yang strong octave light
eternally being Yin flowing
octave resonant power waves.
.
How could anyone who does not savor
history’s healthy democratizing erection
objectively rediscover
progressing freedom away from Yang v Yin
oppositional games
not conserving freedom to become Yin/Yang
appositional co-discovering
whom we most need and want
within our co-empathic trust
of each potentially integrative Other?

People who sense a healthy direction
in democratizing cobinary history,
much older
and indigenously wiser
than anthropocentric history

On back through agapic/erotic

Games We Play

Yang, dear.

Yes, my lovely Yin.

Why do you map Game Theory
onto eco-feminist political territory?
It comes across as either just confusing
or, even worse,
vaguely sexist.

Really!
How sexist?

Well, you seem to associate competitive ZeroSum Win or Lose
with strong aggressive patriarchal effectiveness
for defending safety and conserving health

Rational strategic choices for the real guts
of our ego- and anthro- and national-competitive survival;
while Yin is more of the nurturing optimistic Mom
who has her matriarchal place in a Win and Win domestic economy,
but speaking smiling nurture to authoritative competitive power
sounds like patriarchally dominant Business As SexistUsual
to me.

I can see that,
but it does miss my more encompassing Yang/Yin
Win and Win nondualist intent.

No Yang,
not if you replace our Patriarchy or Matriarchy
politically polarized territory
for a Yang and Yin
Win and Win map

Each contrasting side
co-arising respectively
as Original Cause
and Original CoPassionate Effect.

I’m not sure I can explain
why I see EcoFeminist Game Theory
as nonzero-sum optimizing Win and Win
and why that, in turn,
unveils nature+nurture slow-growth resonance

Nor why matriarchy’s cooperative circles
are better suited to healthy democracy
as compared to patriarchy’s competitive hierarchies

Open to retributive punishment
for being Other
when Yang becomes defined by merely Anti-Yin Business \
as Patriarchal Caste-Preserving Usual

When Win Yang becomes measured solely by Lose Yin
zero-sum eco-politically corruptive
and neurosystemically degenerative
anthropocentric history

Embedded within Earth’s larger organic context
of Yin+Yang Win+Win
phylogenic development
of EarthTribe’s co-passion mother-story.

Then why bother with it?
If you can’t deductively explain why
feeling womanist compassion
is matriarchally therapeutic
then how could your way of seeing Game Theory
through an eco-feminist lens
actually be mentally or physically therapeutic,
even for yourself,
with your deductivist-reductivist
abstract theories and thoughts
that sacred humanity-preservation
is more theologically enlightened
than organic feelings
empowering healthy ecological
FatherSun+EarthMother
Yang+Yin bipartisan cobinary
primal relationships.

Because I am nothing without co-arising you.
As bipolar opposites,
in a Win or Lose survivalist world,
neither of us could be Yang strong light
or Yin out-flowing power.

Only in our bipartisan appositional
co-arising Win+Win world
of cobinary Me+We matriarchal development
can we find Yang-Left AnthroMind
within Yin-Right EarthMother’s Body
more compassionately trusting
our politically bipartisan
and personally bicameral
healthy democratic choices
more than when Yang systemically traumatizes Yin,
and Yin retributively reacts,
rather than restoratively responds.

Maybe yes,
maybe no.
Your description of how Earth regenerates cooperative,
more than degenerates competitive
climates of AnthroCaste-preserving pathology,
does not move me toward feeling resonant therapeutic passion.

I was listening to a feminist writer
speaking of why she is uncomfortable with being labeled as a feminist.
She was clear that, for her,
what feminists are against is Patriarchy,
which is not the same thing as being against men.
It feels essential to feminism
that no feminist believes s/he can speak
with useful authority about what all feminists are for.

Informed by Win+Win Game Theory
I suspect feminists are for nurturing healthy democratic
global Yin+Yang bipartisan empowerment
restoring EarthBodies with AnthroMinds
filled with all Earth’s OrganicTribe memories
of EarthMother’s iconic trans-fertility.

Win+Win NonZero-Sum cooperative trust
restores our larger eco-nurturing souls

While Win or Lose Zero-Sum competitive mistrust
survivalist choices
are reserved for extraordinary trauma aversive
short-term strategic necessities,
to minimize personal losses;
not to vengefully maximize Other’s losses.

Tell me again why you are so sure Win+Win cooperative equivalence
is matriarchal Earth’s deeper therapeutic story,
while Win or Lose is Patriarchy’s more AnthroCaste supremacy’s
high and mighty monotheistic tragedy.

Let’s try this:
Anatol Rapaport’s regenerative-reproductive-reiterative longevity
within a game environment permitting both Win or Lose competitive,
and Win+Win cooperative bilateral choices
called Tit for Tat,
always wins every game played,
every transaction co-invested,
everyrelationship mirror-passioned

Only choosing MeWin so TheyLose
when a specific known Other
has played MeWin so YouLose in most recent
prior history of personal experience.

Corollary: Never defensively initiate WinMe to LoseThey.
If your default setting is always choose Win+Win equivalency,
except when unavoidaly engaging
a prior MeWin or OtherWins 0-sum player.

If everyone chooses Win+Win equivalency
every day
in every eco-political game and relationship,
then WinMore to LoseLess monopolistic players
are no longer culturally reinforced as neurosystemically
or ecosystemically normative.

NonZero Game Theory,
enlightened and empowered Win+Win bilateral choice-making default
feels Both-And RightBrain pleasing resonance
where Zero-Sum Win or Lose choices
are Either-Or LeftBrain dispassionate dissonance

So, Yin+Yang NonZero-Sum
healthy bipartisan democracy
passionately and pleasantly plays
most matriarchally regenerative
deepest and widest and longest?

And that’s what AnthroMind+EarthBody co-empowering Muses
share with Yang AntiPatriarchal EcoFeminists.

Yin+Yang,
not quite so much Yang or Yin,
democratic health and safety
restorative peace-making.

Well, Yang honey,
just turn your map around,
so Y/Y Matriarchs are, as they always have been, Original CoArising Causes,
after all we do carry the regenerative babies,
while the Patriarchs are just another pair of Yin or Yang
X or Y
+1 or -0
Original CoGravitating Effects.

Isn’t that a little like interpreting the teleological intent
of Democratizing Constitutions,
as Originally Caused by our ForeFather’s Mothers?

I doubt those who signed these cooperative intentions
for humanity’s health and safety
also intended to bite the wombs that embryo-fed them.

That does seem rabidly Lose+Lose unlikely,
now that you mention Original FatherSun+EarthMother
sacredly enlightening
organically empowered
cobinary Causes.

TransForming Singing Circles

She started our rhapsody
of eco-resilient Wins
invoking ego-resonant Wins
from our Taoist Political Theory
songbook

By reminding us that defensive male Sopranos
have not always been diva dominant

In a prior emerging prehistory,
more of a musicology herstory,
when resilient Bass-Yang
and resonant Soprano-Yin
were both RightHand and LeftFoot coordinated
Win-Soprano and Win-Bass lovers

Happy singers
healthy dancing
ambidextrously resplendent

When not interrupted
by freeze
and flee
and fight

Basses vs Sopranos
become polarized
into cacophonous positions
of not respectfully listening
and/or co-passionate pleasure witnessing

Soprano Voice v Bass Choice
oppositional fighting parts
appositional fleeing departs
frozen in strangled positions apart

From Alto humming love
and Bare toned Bass
organic dancing life
in non-hierarchical
non-violent
non-verbally touching
deep sacred feeling
wellbeing thrival

Speaking while listening
singing while dancing
witnessing while engaging
in polyamorously polyphonic circles.

Then,
just as I was about to brain drain
fall into another afternoon nap,
They fled off script:

“So, here’s what really pisses me off”
S/he calmly says
without soprano exclamation,
as if too nearly exhausted
to expend further breath capacity

Deep-lunged passion
pleasure full-rooted
energy.

“Today in this DisUniting Choir,
formerly Bass and Soprano functional,
we invest dirty money and disingenuous time
in sacrificing sacred Earth’s singers
and Othered organic dancers”

“Since when does a healthy democracy
sing and dance for a homophobic future
gunning for every frozen
fleeing
fighting
failing White-Bassed Man
for his sick self.”

“While, at this very moment
in Anthropocene musicology
we need to bloom nature
and nurture singing Nations
dancing Muse Species
for thriving win/win
tribe encircling healthcare.”

“Instead
we elect divisive
and displeasing AntiHeroes
petulant diva denialists
without any disciplined
or educated
or mature musicology feelings
for health and safety.”

They proclaim
both feet planted,
rooted resilience
pleasing full-choir resonance.

“Any music conductor knows,
we can’t sing our way
toward United States wealth
without healthy United Nation witnesses
dancing EarthMother climate health
polyphonically swelling
wellbeing.”

Now S/he paces, stirred up.

“What the Hell kind of tragic comedy
is monotheistic
capital-infested
solo Soprano history?”

“Why would our collective intelligence
for optimizing health and wellbeing outcomes
wait for ‘Fat Ladies’ sic singing
Soprano v Bass survivalist operas
when we know grand trauma finales
always suck?”

Political
and social
and psychological
and theological
and even anthropological
dissonance risk
out singing resonance opportunity.

“What is worth risking
less future singers
uniting multicultural Nations
and polycultural Species?”

We began nervously looking around
what we expected to be our singing wisdom circle,
avoiding Their foot-tapping direction,
hoping Their questions were merely rhetorical

Some argument larger Sopranos struggle with
divided diva selves
while we,
mere mortals,
continue feeling like nothing
is worth dying for.

In the brief ensuing rest
I am surprised
we dance apart
Basses struggling against Sopranos
for all that is loss of resonant life.

We create AntiHeroes
without sufficient time to sing
love songs
growing what is worth living for

Call and response
from Bass healthy roots
and soaring Soprano dancing
in climate wellness circles

That feel rather too fat and long
calling out less robust diva responses
to what is worth dying for
or against

Restarting living rhapsody,
musicology culture Wins
for ecological climate Wins

Taoist Political CoPassion Theory,
Soprano singing
while Bass dancing
divine diva circles.
