Heavenly Developments

Great
and small
spiritual teachers
glowingly preach
and promise disciplined pilgrim creatures
Nirvana,
Paradise,
Heaven,
featuring compassionate pleasures.

A timelessly perpetual climax
no natural teacher
this side of Eden’s regenerative garden
would dare speculate
we might reasonably anticipate
some great rewoven day
of universal redemption.

It is this Bliss,
too univocal
too monochromatic,
I begin to monotheistically question

If this climatic experience
is like a deep tight pond,
bright
yet stagnantly enclosed
in attractively fond

Rather than a continuously flowing river
of multicultural
multigenerational
polyamorous sensory experiences
spouting out from embodied pleasure mouths
back to light’s first faintly felt flicker

And forward
to bright’s most blissful moments
reflected
inflecting constant flowing functions
of powers robustly positive,
cooperative
compassionate changing paradise
returning me to this river
never entered
or exited
exactly this same fluid nirvana
conversing twice.

Not only because rivers
continuously flow
but also because humane identities
continue to curiously grow communion
sometimes far beyond any happy shores
our natural and spiritual teachers
have hoped to personally know.

Doing PolyAmorous Paradise

When I was eight
I knew Paradise could not be merely secular humane
and yet be kind
and omnipotently divine

when a Great Horned Owl
breathed her last sacred breath toward me,
left alone
while she flew away
to where I would poorly follow
in my robust adult time.

It took me eight cycles of octave eight
to realize why
Paradise must include safe nests for diverse fowl,
politically
and ecologically cooperative seas
flowing complex schools of graceful fish
and surf’s bilateral co-gravity
flowing out here
and ebbing in now
breathing Earth’s healthy paradise past
and wealth-empowering future
polyamorous eternity.

Because an anthropocentric Paradise
would be monolithically,
and monotonously,
and monotheistically oxymoronic,
a scientifically and religiously ridiculous
metaphysical nightmare,
not ecologically sustainable,
not psychologically palatable

not even harmonically healthy potential paradise
because not synergetically
polyphonically
polypathically
polyculturally
or polytheistically healthy
wealth of peak co-empathic experience

regeneratively compelling
and degeneratively disspelling
economically enlightened
and politically empowering
co-intelligent empathic/dyspeptic
polytheistically inclusive
indigenous wisdom design.

Every polyvagal body knows
Heaven begins and ends
in an organically holistic
and politically democratic
globally healthy Earth Garden
with zero-balanced waste wealth stream
and nonzero-soul kind-kin potential
panentheistic elegant integrity,
yes?

So how does denying our naturally embodied climate
and unkind mind-wasting spiritual pathologies
help us become the perpetually ReStorative Paradise
we might synergetically peace together

Healing decadently autocratic Hell
monotheistically against sacredly wealthy
organically healthy Gaia Earth.

BeComing ReBorn Again

Elder RightBrain felt compassions never die,
they simply enter colonizing peak
and complexly exit creolizing deep
erotic/agapic sexsensory sleeps
co-arising passion’s positive redemption

Not quite so much ecstatically felt
in our first inhale longing breath
as in our last surrendered exhale

Synergetic belonging
co-redeeming breathless pleasure,
however unrequited,
resiliently touches sacred peace
with all indigenously resonant souls

ReGenerating EarthTribe’s healthy heartbeat way
panentheistically anticipating wealthy paradise life
first inhaling birth of longing truth
last exhaling re-birthed belonging

Within Elder EarthMother’s root felt
pronoia choice
empowering FatherSun’s light crown
touching pleasure voice.

Not Yet Time For Peace

Mistaking mere pluralism
for resonant polyculturalism

Is like mistaking chaos
for resilient complexity

Competitive darkness
and degenerative
confusion
for cooperative light
regenerating
consciousness

Free from win/lose
capital-driven anxiety,
Free toward win/win
co-invested anticipation

Dipolar coarising
Left/Right
UpMight/DownTight
root chakra balance

Resonantly resilient

Joy
of sacred unscared
unscorched Earth
Tribes timeless
unboundaried
win/win paradise
co-invested peace

Warm wombed
embrace.

Anticipating Diversity

Diversity explores
both resonant and opposing positions
with nearly predative anticipation

And such perversely curious
reverse revisioning diversity deplores
with monoculturing anxiety
quietly crossed
and boldly violated boundaries
of personal
and familial
and municipal
and EarthTribal
indigenous integrity

Sacred space expands mindfully perceived
unless this Business As Traumatically Usual place
is too lose/lose dark
and I am too win/win blind
to keep faith with dimming starlight

Celestial Glitter Rivered Ways
majestic
yet ominously silent Spirits
of ancient silvered sentient bright

Yet momentary mortal time
feels reflective light received
sufficiently reassuring
mythically alluring
for transient transportive pleasure
and tenderly insufficient
for full-colored organic measure
of integrity’s potential Paradise.

Wounded World

I’ve seen Earth’s epitaph:
S/He did more than Her share
to heal a broken world

Which sometimes seems to invoke anger
because I can touch what’s broken
and other times provoke merely sad
because I can only feel inside
who is also wounded

Earth’s living magic,
watered fertile soil,
red-blooded organic
green clean soul
is not broken
like a worn-out clock
or formerly animated toy
or obsolescent urban block
now gone inevitably bad.

EarthTribe is not so much broken
as win/lose perpetually wounded
Paradise Lost
for our lapse
of good-humored Golden Rules
win/win re-found
happy healthy bodhisattva
rebound.

What is already broken
requires outside messianic agency,
too objectively disabled
to stimulate subjective healing salvation,
personally feeling better

Emergent internally vital
growing positively viral,
stealing from toxic claustrophobic disarray,
tomorrow’s voices redeemed
by choices erupting therapeutic promise
today.

Organic wounds,
unlike mechanical brokenness,
give internal notice
warnings of disenabling trauma
also enable therapeutic opportunity
to pull and push risk,
to massage and stretch ambiguous feelings
touching each Other’s sinews
and straps,
moral lapse,
dancing mental songs
and embodied raps

Filling in our anti-social lapse
our monoculturing elapse
of warm
and wet
and wild compassion,
integrity’s redemptive fashion.

Brokenness shrouds despair
alone
where wounds invite
our active healthy care
together happiness vocationed
for EarthTribe’s ecstatic day
by faithful contenting way
inclusively inviting
inspirational repair
with those who dare
to share Earth’s communal difference
to heal this wounded world.

ReBuilding Paradise Lost

Paradise
like Rome
is not built
and not rebuilt
and rebuilt
and redeveloped
and healed
and redeemed
in one 24-hour
cycle
and recycle
and revolving
round day v night,

And/or
appreciatively regarding both day
and dualdark
rich and fertile
souled and soiled
night.

So too
my personal
and political
and economic
and ecological
and theologically reformed
unconditional win/win regard,
like God’s
and not EarthMother’s
and not Buddha’s
and maybe not Allah’s
and not Atman’s
and not Gaia’s
and not Diana’s
and not Blue Heron’s
and not Dragonfly’s,
has become Christian Reformed Evangelistic
LeftBrain dominantly complicated
to resiliently hang onto cooperatively coinvested peace
for more than a day,
or even an hour

Instead
we are distracted
dismayed
by chronic win/lose stress,
By early childhood trauma experiences
of community original win/lose sin

Capitalized by zero-sum competitive
closed cause/effect linear
either/or bipolarizing fundamentalism,
either unconditionally regarded
as saved,

Or discontinuously disregarded
as damned:
too sacredly holistic,
too round paradoxical circling,
too wide open-systemic
intuitive ecofeminist
panentheistic goddess worship
womanly unmanly mysticism
wicked womb witchery
emasculation
slutty butchery.

Original sin
remains monotheistically addicted
to fear and anger
about panentheistically sensuous
Eve
and big black seductive Serpents
offering MotherEartha’s Apple Pie.

Various Mosaic Law reformers
of Patriarchal-Capitalism
LeftBrain dominant commercial imbalance,
including Jesus of Nazareth,
have suffered and died
to powerfully
panentheistically
indigenously
return to wisely rooted
win/win bipartisan co-passion
and active co-investment

Deep rooted in dualdark soul
and soil of love’s co-present
peakish causes
and valleyed effective
affective
and reflective experience

Reforming my win/lose original zero-sum
competitive
predative
judgmental
self-righteous
greedy assumptions
about humanity’s essential step
away from win/win Paradise,
our mortal Achilles’ heel
of ego-self v. eco-other,
rather than ego+eco sacred EarthMother,
primal potential
for lose/lose disintegration
and for win/win regeneration,
and all not-quite-so-original
win/lose in-betweens,

Round Win/Win
Win/Lose
Lose/Lose octaves
of whole
open sensory
globally universal
organic paradising neuro-systems
nested and networked
working cooperatively co-invested
co-passionately
co-relationally
co-intelligently
co-therapeutically together
better than monotheistically divided
judged,
poles apart.

A win/win Holy
Open Whole EarthSystem,
non-zero sum cooperatively co-invested
Original Paradise Theory
of polycultural communion
feels like it could multiculturally attract
inter-religious
and meta-paradigmatic health and safety advocates
scientists
artists
musicians
muses
comedians

Integrating our capital,
our gut,
and our sacred grown round root,
and full core intelligent curiosity
pregnant with polypathic paradigms,
both secular and sacred narratives,
myths about integral Paradise potential,
transcendent Heavens
of original win/win systemic
sensory
sensual
sexual Paradise potential
for regenerative
unconditional healthy regard,
resilience
through robust wealth
of cooperative resonance.

Yet,
somehow,
despite all our narratives
that healthy Paradise of Love
overpowers unhealthy demons of hate,
God’s monotheistic
anthrosupremacist
not at all unconditional
win/lose judgmental disregard,
like my own,
remains patriarchally
and capitalistically addicted
to long term degenerative trends

Like suicidal ideation,
Traumatic Stress DisOrder,
corporate and corporal greed,
loneliness,
repression,
ecofeminist suppression,
nationalistic straight white exceptionalism,
monoculturally self-righteous genocide
and, now, sacred EarthMatricide

Blind
and deaf
to natural
spiritual feelings
longing for Earth Matrimonial Paradise

Needing resilient health and safety
panentheistic global systems of care,
unconditional regard
wanting universal salvific health
through unitarian yintegral wealth
of cooperatively co-invested
PolyCultural-Communion

NonViolently communicating
win/win panentheistic
Here/Now
Space/Time
Body/Mind
Nature/Spirit Paradise
fomenting virulent indigenous wisdom
restoring unconditionally resilient regard

Which,
like Rome
and like Peace,
is not built
and rebuilt
in one 24-hour day.

Sacred Discourse

The OldSchool patriarchal Pentateuch
precedes the polycultural HolyNew Paraclete.

This Pentateuch
begins with the beginning
of theo-TribalEgo cultural correlations;
Genesis begets Exodus,
the ChosenTribe’s emigration
into sacred Promised Land

Of special transparency
and divine vulnerability
for a religious Priesthood
found in Leviticus.

Levite Priests
Jesus recognized
and dismembered as Pharisees
and Sadducees,
their scribes
and self-delighted accountants

Tediously enumerating
the fourth Book of Numbers

The fifth and PentUp final exodus
prefacing a new climate
and polyculture of regenesis,
predicted throughout the Old Testament
pre-framing the New Testament
begins much later with Matthew
Mark
Luke
and John’s preamble
of the sacred DeuteroDiscourse Word

These four
internally speaking in three dimensional quantities of Power
pulled transcendently together
by bilateral qualities of time’s timeless Light.

But,
backing up into the exodus
of the DiscursiveDeutero Pentateuch,
this fifth Book
redundantly discourses
Deuteronomy.

What is our deliberative duty
to a Straight White Patriarchal YHWH?

Was Jesus right
to give priority to discourses
of EarthDaddy’s liberal love
foretelling a future PolyCultural Communion,
Win/Win Paradise?
Land of OatMilk
and Green Cooperative produced
organic Honey?

Or are we too
a stiff necked
win/lose debating
zero-sum devolutionary
supremacist People?

Do we doubt,
continue to debate,
Jesus’ personal spiritual experience
of sacred EarthNature?

Do we continue with Old Deuteronomy
of FortressEarth
effacing and denying Global Climate Pathology?

Do we continue
conserving Patriarchal Capital Elitism?

Do we further thicken
straight White fortresses
for the highest privileged Levites
and best war-mongering Accountants?

Greedy to sell more weapons for conserving hate
on the front porch of YHWH’s Earth Paradise Temple,
rather than deliberately inviting
nonviolent communication tools
of liberating perennial climate love?

Do we choose hurting
and win/lose zero-sum punishing,
or healing
and win/win
nonzero-soul
of cooperative discourse?

Do we choose
possible straight white species survival
or probable Whole
Open
EarthDeuteronomic
gospel of good health thrival?

Listening for GodWords

I don’t know,
S/He said,

(right winged left
exhaled downstream
past everyone’s egopaled head)

If God is dead
and also much too Capitalistic,
LeftBrain dominant hegemonalistic

(like water to a philosophical shark)

If God is straight
and white
and a patriarchal supremacist accountant
calculating monoculturally ambitious values

Then maybe also monotheistically antagonistic,
or at least apathetic,
about polyculturally healthy
ecopolitical womanist wealth,
without apartheid walls.

Surely not both,
disempowering abuse
and unenlightened neglect,
that couldn’t be,
replied S/He
choosing His verbal LeftBrain voice

(Either/Or reductive,
conservative,
reactive,
sometimes deafly patriarcolonizing)

stressed by harmonic Both/And resonance
and timelessly reconnecting RightBrain choice

(polycultural ego as ecotheistic).

S/He thinks
God must not be

an angry white capitalist old man
in the sky
to vengefully judge
and win/lose evolution justify
historic cash reparation millions
of Winning CapitalBuilding patriotism,
so Lose unempirically marginalized
brown-skinned Goddess Worshipers,

S/He feels
God must not remain
an Original Natural Law Judge
too comfortably drinking
from homophobic
xenophobic waters,
issuing AnthroHomoSupremacist decrees,
dogmas against win/win indigenous
body/mind health care issues
exceeding His own RightBrain
multicultural mediating experience
with brain dead and yet body alive
expertise.

S/He multiculturally senses
God must not prevail
as a MonoCapitalist Banker
abusively over-investing in right wing
lose/lose ecopolitical,
Earth terrorizing,
violent communication conflicts,

S/He polyculturally postulates
Win/Win God could also feel Goddessness
if not so theologically upset and disrespectful
when healthy natural women
wear short-sleeved political shirts
and long-legged economic pants,
and when two natural men
have holy spiritual sex
with each Other,
and not with
(abusively punishing
Straight Judge
violently shaming and blaming)
Him.

S/He remembers
Goddess could also know
how He feels
competitively monotheistic dead,
or at least asleep,
with a secular/sacred vocation
inherited from abusive
and/or neglectful
patrilinear designs from Above

SunGod LawGiver
enscriptured by Straight White Hims
cannot be Yintegral Hers,
not Queer BlackGaian Goddess scribes,
ecstatic worshipers,

(not quite so much dogmatic
dualistic
ecopolitically privileged reconstructionists)

indigenous fire-circle dancers,
recycling Full and DualDark
light night empowerment Wonderers,
awesome enlightenment Wanderers…

But, instead choosing only to become
this DeathCulture God
of StraightWhiteWesternMale Crusaders,
Fight makes Right jihadists,
colonizing inquisitors,
misogynists,
homophobes,
evangelical Capital-gaining pastors,
fundamental dualists

(violently abusive nature survivalist
against Spirit neglectful unthrivalist),

against ecowomanist enlightened empowerment.

S/He reconnectively learns
to this EarthDay
deep win/win regenerative mysteries
of His LeftBrain win/lose universe

(of Either/Or reductive ego monopolitics)

Win/Lose competitive
mono-LeftBrain anthrotheistic
StraightWhiteMale CapitalBuilding patriartick
with punishing judgmental authority
to damn multiculturally undressed
lack of punishing codes

Shunning
and imprisoning
and enslaving
and monetizing neuro-reproductive behavior
of all ego-sensory EarthTribes
engaged in violent through compassionate
interconnected multicultural communication
and religiously nutritional neuro-sensory systems

(for sacred health enlightenment
and secular safe empowerment,
S/He said
hopefully
before SunGod is BlackHole
lives splattered dead).

GoodHumor Issues

I’ve felt it said
here
time and again

That a personal issue
is also about political tissue
reconnecting economic responsibilities
risks
opportunities fiscal
annual
perennial

Centers of felt pleasure
and good humor
are Passions,
not only small
and great transitional
but resonantly
resiliently multi-anecdotal,

Excluding all DisPassions
DeGenerations
and humorless passions
actively resisting future dispassions,
loss
suffering
mortality
and all that dualistically dark stuff,
sensory tissue memories
of sacred issue images

My peculiar ecosystem
co-empathically admiring Ultra NonViolet

spectrally ionic Heaven
multiculturing emergent organic Paradise

And personal political insider trading
in Gospel EmPowering Passions
co-emerge eco-Paradise here
with ego-Pleasure now,
sacred place
with historically enculturing
triangulated
bilateral
tipping pointed hierarchical
and reverse root systemic revolutionary
upside-down

EarthHealth PleasurePower
anticipating more HeavenWealth ParadiseLight
win/win peace-viral
evolutionary PanSensory
bicamerally enlightened
eco/ego double-binary
unboundaried co-empowerment.

And so I try to co-discern
discuss
cooperatively dialogue
about whom I am supporting,
investing in,
and why
I might reasonably expect
mutual win/win health/wealth outcomes.

And, on the other hand,
when such mutual intention becomes
and belongs within anti-losePleasure/loseHumor
transparently shared limits,
then it is time to set chronic stressed
win/lose compromises
anticipations
evolutionary theories
existential angst
depressions
negative impressions aside

To grab hold
of cooperative
systemic revolutions
toward enlightening
empowering
re-ligioned win/win
SecularLeftMinded/SacredRightHearted
ego-impassioned EarthHealth Justice
resolutions

Embracing Pleasure
and Paradise,
Power
and Light,
Earth
and Heaven,
Secular
and Sacred,
Deductive
and Inductive
cooperative GoodHumor,
with NonZero-Soul remainder.
