Christian v NotChosen

Life does not necessarily mature into timeless love,
just as yeast is not the entire evolutionary journey for bread,
and the Way may be part of, but not the entirety of,
the Beloved Community.

It is so interesting, for a nondualist at least,
that a profoundly radical Jewish teacher
would say He is the yeast
while We are the embodied bread;
He is the Way,
yet We are the Kingdoms and QueenEarth Shabbats at hand.

Then the men turn it around,
get it all dualistically, cause-effect backwards,
while the women probably knew this Messianic mentor
as bootstrapping our evolutionary fulfilling birthing process
of incoming and oncoming and ongoing cooperative co-messianism.

The patriarchs,
with theo-means not-ecological words in hand,
were too invested in their post-revolutionary need to distance themselves
from the then-powerful elitist threat of Judaic cultural power,
at least by comparison with their post-revolutionary
dualist-fundamentalist Either/Or departure
into before-Christ/after-Christ messianism-already-fulfilled
by the One
who taught himself as the intentional mentoring leaven,
and not the entire cooperative organic co-salvific loaf;
as the only Way He could speak of and for,
but not our entire EarthTribe Garden
of cooperative ecotherapeutic
co-redemptive messianism at hand.

Too bad the wives and mothers,
the nondualist gatherers and not so much the dualist hunters,
didn’t have the education,
or perhaps even the verbal communication skills,
to write down their creolizing nondualist fulfillment narratives
of cooperative nurture,
to recall and cast a nondualist Messiah
who did not come to kill YHWH’s Chosen People,
or His own culture,
the regenerative history flowing through his humane-divining
mindbody,
but to leaven with these Elders,
those who had no ecopolitical Win/Lose self-centered elitist hypocrisies
like the Pharisees and Sadduccees,
those who were not over-invested in the competitive change of Caesar’s coin
from useful for cooperative consuming health
into iconic-only value for producing disembodied hoards of wealth,
and to leaven within us
as one continuously multiculturing
multigenerational
nondualistic-BothJewish/AndChristian
organic creolizing mindbody
of regenerative intention
and vast ecopolitically radical compassion;
like yeast evolving divinely humane bread.

John 3:16 ReWrite

If John 3:16 is read as,
For God so loved Earth
that S/he gave up Her only begotten-beloved Child,
so all future regenerating generations
might have eternal timeless love lives.

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

Why does changing to a more matriarchal gender
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 surtax
but if mothers give up their children
for longer-term redemptive investment purposes
some of us call it unjustified abortion
of matriarchal WinWin moral-ethical responsibilities?

Why is it not OK for Goddess the Mother
to sacrifice the health of a beloved child today
on behalf of a wealthier life for self and others tomorrow
but maybe it is justified
for God the Father
to economically and politically invest in suffering and crucifying loss today
to redeem our more regenerative future?

The science of neuro-anatomy
appears to also be the still evolving history
of Elder Survivalist BrainStem
giving WinLose, yet still beloved, birth
to our WinWin bicameral-stereo appositional cerebral cortex.

Within this sacred regenerative internal ecology,
John 3:16 might be historically mapped as,
For Elder WinLose BrainStem,
so loved by and for and with and of Earth’s DNA/RNA energetic his/herstory,
that S/he gave birth to WinWin dipolar co-arising CerebralCortex
to co-mentor only both WinHealth Today
AND Win ReGenerative Tomorrow’s co-optimizing wealth
of cooperative optimizing opportunity.

A problem for fascist and communist and any WinLose totalitarianism
is that, Win or Lose,
eventually even the most Central Committee or Cabinet or Cortex
either paranoid blows up in warring territorial flames
of ego-centric elitist nationalism
or dies from within
through corrupt hoarding too entitled much too long,
trying to fool all the people, including each other,
all the time
about why we are willing to invest other’s sons and daughters
in our ecopolitical WinLose skirmishes of terrifying violence.

Nationalistic short-term navel-gazing grows elitist in the Core,
and cancerous
cells and organs and parties of WinLose ecopolitical self-empowerment,
without long-term Other nurturance.

Reptilian WinLose survivalist BrainStem
preys and extracts
prays and re-invests through competitions of short-term thinking
in response to self-predicated crisis,
while WinWin cerebral cortex
soars global opportunity
through long-term multiculturally regenerative design and planning
and yet also slugs on through further Business as Competitively WinLose Usual,
through OldBrain Systemic monitoring defense against unnecessary risk
of loss and suffering within this eternal-felt co-empathic now of trust
and synaptic felt antipathic distrust of pathological threats,
especially to Her/His beloved begotten children.

Each humane god/dess so beloving Earth
that we are willing to give up freedom of regenerative
reflective-reflexive internal privacy rights today
to co-mentor this co-redemptive ecopolitical society
of tomorrow’s WinWin health-wealth,
regenerating further promise of bilateral Cerebral Cortexes
of co-empathic BrainStem trust.

Games We Play

Yang, dear.

Yes, my lovely Yin.

Why do you map Game Theory
onto EcoFeminist Political Theory?
It comes across as either just confusing
or, even worse,
vaguely sexist.

Really!
How sexist?

Well you seem to associate competitive ZeroSum WinLose
with strong aggressive patriarchal effectiveness
for defending and conserving health and safety.
These are rational strategic choices for the real guts
of our ego- and anthro- and national-competitive survival;
while Yin is more of the nurturing cooperativist Mom
who has her matriarchal place in a WinWin domestic economy,
but speaking cooperative nurture to competitive power
sounds like patriarchally dominant Business As SexistUsual
to me.

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

But,
not if you substitute Patriarchy/Matriarchy for Yang and Yin,
co-arising respectively
as Original Cause
and Original ReGenerativeEffect.

I’m not sure I can explain
why I see EcoFeminist Game Theory
as nonzero-sum optimizing WinWin
and why that, in turn,
unveils nature-nurture slow-growth resonance,
and therefore evolves regenerative-matriarchal-reverse-hierarchical, re-cyclical therapy
for a too patriarchal
too competitive
Yang-means-NotYin Business as Capitalist-Elitist Usual,
WinYang to LoseYin
zero-sum ecopolitically long-term degenerative history,
embedded within Earth’s larger RNA Yin/Yang WinWin
phylogenic development of EarthTribe’s her creationstory.

Then why bother with it,
if you can’t deductively explain why it is therapeutic
then how could your way of seeing Game Theory
through a bicameral-feminist lens
actually be therapeutic,
even for yourself,
with your deductivist-reductivist rational exclusionary ways.

Because I am nothing without co-arising you.
As bipolar opposites,
in a WinLose survivalist world,
neither of us could be Yang empowered
or Yin nurturing.
Only in our dipolar appositional co-arising WinWin world
of self/other-regenerative evolutionary development
can we find RealWorld RealTime Yang-Left BodyMind with Yin-Right MindBody
more passionately trusting our ecopolitical choices
than when Yang merely overpowers Yin.

Maybe yes,
maybe no.
Your description of how Earth regenerates cooperative,
more than degenerates competitive climates of pathology,
does not move me toward prescriptive 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.
What she explicitly stated feminists cannot do
is speak truth to power with and about what all feminists are for,
what all feminists would nurture and grow and regenerate.

For me, and for Game Theory, I suspect,
feminists are for nurturing cooperative global WinWin empowerment
of individually reproducing minds and bodies,
of all Earth’s LifeTribes,
of Mother Earth as icon of healthywealth cooperative fertility.

WinWin NonZero-Sum is our larger cooperative nurturing womb
of long-term, multi-generational, multicultural development,
while WinLose Zero-Sum competitive YangDominant survivalist evolution
is reserved for extraordinary
EitherWinMore Now Or LoseEverything Later
short-term strategic necessities,
to minimize anti-pathic losses and optimize cooperative-democratizing empathic trust Wins.

Tell me again why you are so sure WinWin cooperative equivalence
is Earth’s larger regenerative history,
while WinLose is Yang’s more short-term survivalist
self-regenerative-positive
and other-degenerative-negative may be OK with me,
Ego-evolution/Eco-devolution.

Let’s try this:
Anatol Rapaport’s regenerative-reproductive-reiterative longevity
within a game environment permitting both WinLose competitive,
and WinWin cooperative, bilateral choices,
called Tit for Tat,
always wins every game played
every transaction co-invested
every relationship mirror-passioned,
to only go WinLose
when your Right-Now Other played WinLose selfishly last round.

Corollary: Never defensively initiate WinMore to LoseLess.
If your default setting is always choose WinWin equivalency,
except when meeting a prior WinLose Dominant EgoCentric player
against your mutual reiterative equivalent-cooperative memory
and future-anticipated regenerativity (embodied reproductivity).

If everyone chooses WinWin equivalency
every day
in every ecopolitical game and relationship,
then WinMore to LoseLess players disappear
within a perpetually regenerative
reproductive rights-equivalence game
of both matriarchally cooperative mind and body
Left and RightBrain co-owned and governed
for EcoFeminist/EgoMasculine EarthRights Equivalence.

NonZero Game Theory,
compassioned and nurtured WinWin bilaterally reiterative default
is also BothAnd “Right Brain” appositional thinking,
where Zero-Sum WinLose Game Theory
is EitherOr Left(PatriarchalElite) Brain Dominant,
oppositionally defiant.

So, Zero-Sum WinWin Yin/Yin
and LoseLose Yang/Yang
equivalent plays
and his/herstories regenerate the longest?

And that’s what domestic-within ego/eco-empowering Matriarchs
share with more Yangish AntiPatriarchal EcoFeminists.

We are all WinWin for EarthTribe’s nurturing-flow
of cooperative-regenerative ecopolitical Matriarchal/Patriarchal
Yin/Yang,
not quite so much Yang/Yin,
Global Health and Safety

Well honey
just turn your frame around,
so Matriarchs are, as they always have been, Original Causes,
after all we do carry the regenerative babies,
while the Patriarchs are just another pair of Yin/Yang
X/Y
Original ReGenerative Effects.

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

I doubt those who signed these diverse cooperative intentions
for our collective health and safety
also intended to bite the hands that fed them.

That does seem rabidly LoseLose unlikely,
now that you mention it.

Feminist EcoPolitics Greets The Donald

Where do we think all this economic and politically empowering
cooperative
nutritional
organically luscious imagination
and ecologically exegetical orthopraxis
started?

George Lakoff speaks of strictly straight stern paternalistic God the Universalist Fathers,
vertically Winning over an otherwise Loser, yet highly competitive, ecopolitical world
and ecologically survivalist-separatist
human parasite-divine supremacist
nature-spirit dualist Western-Dominant straight-way
of seeing our origins
and ourselves,
or at least our father-figures,
ForeFathers,
ProGenitors of victorious Yang-Health Win/Lose
Left over RightBrain WinWin Dominant enculturation.

OK,
I may have added a few gaming elements,
paradigmatic essences which Lakoff
speaks of as if they may be associated with some other economically and politically normative and important words like
healthy v pathological climate,
spirit,
natural chemistry,
dynamic,
changing yet traditional ecological networking relationships.

In describing what I call LeftBrain ecopolitical Dominance,
and he describes as patriarchal straight-stern Father Knows Healthy Competitive Best 1950’s Republicanism,
“Absolute categorization requires essences,
properties that define absolute categories.”
Patriarchs tend to be Win/Lose Universalists,
as nurturing Matriarchs therapeutically trend toward WinWin Unitarian-Integrationists,
polycultural nondual co-arising nature-spirit enrichment
over monocultural BadBoy too-competitive ecopolitics.

Strict Father evolutionary ecopolitical models,
also LeftBrain Enculturation-Language Dominant,
are more drawn to spiritual fundamentalist belief systems
while their Nurturing Matriarchal Networking RightBrain
looks toward root systems of natural-radical regenerative fertility,
requiring some fortunate/unfortunate ambiguity about the nature-spirit compete/cooperate essences
of ecopolitical gender categories.

RightBrain radical spiritual experiences may be suppressed,
but MotherEarth’s cooperative regenesis is not yet dead.

Because of my own Strict Father evangelical Christian Republican,
post-adolescent USA formative years,
I have a renewing appreciation for growing up damaged,
but still RightBrain basically healthy-balancing,
in an ecopolitical LeftBrain Patriarchal EgoDominant conservationist Republican-agrarian
and yet healthy nature-spirit Matriarchal understory family,
where I was part of the dominant
Whites-Only
monoculturing
separatist rural Michigan culture,
and also secretly queer as a two-dollar bill,
as we used to say
back in the anti-feminist day.

This combination eventually led me away from Fundamentally-Dualist God the Condemning Father
toward the Radical-NonDualist Goddess the Nurturing Nature-Spirit
LeftEgo-Right ElderSacred EcoPolitical Wisdom Literature
of Taoism,
and Universal-Unitarianism,
where the hyphen itself
tells the entire permacultural history
between pre-millennial Tao as (0)-sum balancing ecopolitical SpaceTime
spoken in bilateral dialects of Patriarch/Matriarch Yang/Yin CoOperative Enthymematic Communication,
to fill in my nondual natural-spiritual matriarchal feminist side,
which is much more fun
and a whole lot wiser
than without.

From this still-maturing vantage
I can see
that we can all bicamerally see
that ecopolitical-ecological fusion is to regenerative complexity (M. Csikszentmilhalyi)
as cooperative-comparative ecopolitical blurring is to chaos theory,
or Creolizing Political Theory, in Jane Anna Gordon’s vocabulary,
or Feminist EcoPolitical Theory.

Here I enjoy a more cooperative networking and balancing culture
of extended polypathic bicameral family values,
while still aesthetically appreciating Patriarchal Forms
of CoMessianic Nurturing Daddies
as also Bodhisattva Matriarchal MercyWarriors of Peace and Climate Justice,
at their nurturing wise Solomonic best,
where we all began,
in RightMind ecopolitical prodigal potential Mommy’s Wombs,
living within Sacred MotherEarth’s climate
of Beloved CoOperative Left/Right contenting Health;
anonymous pre-embryonic Taoists.

LeftBrain ecopolitical and familial dominance
is more deeply etched in ‘nonEastern’ languaged
and nonverbally communicating/dissonating cultures,

(I dare not speak the LeftBrain WesternCapitalist Patriarchal Name
of strict means straight and stern Calvinist truth
more than also spiraling,
thermodynamically balancing,
double-binding fractal (0)-sum polypathic octave frequencies
of enlightnment,
CoOperative Nature’s Divinely Sacred Symmetric BiLateral Beauty)

Both verbally and nonverbally,
both familially and extended socially,
both economically and extended politically invested,
both competitively and cooperatively,
both authoritatively regenerative and nurturing-health responsibly,
it seems to me
these are the appositional polarities
around which each of our economic and political narratives
find their most nutritiously enlightening root systems
of ecological climate health as ego/eco-centric wealth.

The Donald looks more like the Court Jester
than the Court Messiah.
Unfortunately,
now the BadBoy logical conclusion
of LeftBrain Dominant USA adolescently competitive ecopolitics
has even more power of the purse
and the nuclear ballistics.
It’s like letting your kids
play with fire
while using your money for fuel.
It just doesn’t feel healthy
or like wise wealth investment planning
to me;
more kind of LeftBrain Dominatrix-Delusional terrifying.

Biological Enlightenment

First off,
this is not pick on George Lakoff day
because I love his Political Mind like a brother.

BUT,
yes,
you knew that was coming,
so let me change it right now

AND,
yes, much of the proletariat-patriarchal Enlightenment Era
of the 1700s was weighted toward Transcendence,
so, yes, a tendency toward disembodied,

AND YET,
if we look toward the more bourgeois-matriarchal sector,
especially all those disenfranchised women birthin’ babies,
but also other disadvantaged perspectives of Enlightenment,
these were very much about natural, healthy regenerative richness,
perhaps erotic wonder and climatic awe,
rather than some spiritual experience
more high-brow agapic,
yet no less,
perhaps even rather more,
integrative flow-abundant
embodied
co-mentored and empathically communicated
reverent and sacred enlightenment,
however democratically common
as our universal experience
of diastatic enlightenment
nurtured within a matriarchal integrative womb
rather than embryonically formed
from a patriarchal transcendent penis.

I don’t think red-neck conservative Republicans
are any less interested in,
or committed to,
or capable of,
healthy enlightening polypathic experience
than are progressive Ivy League academic Democrats,
although I do think that those who have healthier nurtured
integrative communication between LeftYang and RightYin hemispheres
are better at finding the WinWin cooperatively enlightening opportunities
while avoiding unnecessary disembodied pitfalls of WinLose choices
suboptimizing regenerative potential
to experience more positive enlightenment-flow power
rather than more cognitive-affective dissonance,
mistrusting antipathies.

These tend to be those
for whom LeftBrain enculturation dominance,
supremacy,
has been less kind than RightBrain’s matriarchal nurturance.

GoFlow On Our Mountain

Once upon an eternal sacred time of Earth’s Golden Age,
Yin knew her body as a divinely virginal forested place
given equally to all for and of Earth’s holy

She, without language,

which may be too often his suboptimal flow of quasi-graced state,
yet Yin’s RightBrained autonomic DNA-memetic

still integratively sacred dances
our LeftBrain’s best reflective language,
poetry of embodied form
with Earth’s ecosystemic functional flow-powers.
