I wonder
if our Naked Emperor
would recognize an authentic hoax
if he were looking in a mirror
And, further reflecting on that,
I wonder if this Naked Emperor would recognize
what really is our greatest threat to national security
while still gazing at himself
in the legacy mirror
of future history.
An open letter to new legislators,
new chief executive officers,
new judges,
and all new healthy climate parents
and other health and safety advocates.
When you were in the process of securing this new position in your life
perhaps you were expected to speak fluently
about how your past experiences,
often negative,
had prepared you for this vocation at this time,
to represent the most prosperous and healthiest interests
for all,
especially the grandkids,
within your electoral/appointive constituency, first,
and then, as possible,
for all people everywhere.
You were elected, appointed, selected, or at least blessed.
So presumably you do this well,
this learning from past negative experience
to suggest how we will do better
with active hope for your future
in this empowered choice-making position
Representing your extended intentional familiar’s healthiest wealthiest interests
and also, with further maturation,
extending your budgeting authority for just and peaceful leadership
and political responsibility for kind and loving mentorship
across your entire organic constituency of bio- and ecosystems.
Your fluency between systemic trauma experience
and problem-solving reflection,
trauma-informed discernment,
is presumably why we selected you
to carry often heavy responsibilities for others
with, hopefully, wise freedoms of co-invested authority
Not too much authority
becoming a poor listener and ungrateful student,
and not too little responsibility
lacking integrity of enlightened and empowered
sacred health and organic safety.
By now, if you are a promising candidate or nominee,
you know far too much about why we all seem to be losing healthy climates together
when our wealthiest wise intention is to grow more cooperatively owned
and health-managed
climates and cultures,
manscapes and landscapes,
bodies and minds,
humane corporations and organic incarnations
progressing toward resiliently peaceful
polycultural
polyamorous
pronoia inter-relationships
Rather than more greed business as pathologically normal,
investing in divide and conquer politics,
and budgeting priorities
complacent about inevitable unhealthy
partisan
hate- and anger- and fear-mongering.
The Original Sin of opposing compassion/pleasure
mind/body deep-rooted integrity
Thereby promulgating further dispassionate communication
dissociating sacredly wealthy capitalist minds
from organically healthy corporate bodies.
More healthy (and inter-religiously blessed) democratic choices,
in this transitional time
inviting more economic and political gratitude
for ever-new kind and loving opportunities
while living more compassionately
and pleasantly,
within our richly diverse responsibilities.
Here, you see yourself more as a student
among co-empathic deeply cooperative teachers,
co-passionately discerning,
co-empathically trusting more than mistrusting
Earth’s ecologically climaxing polycultural health
and humanity’s expanding multicultural wealth.
How can I share this learning process with my most multiculturally
inter-religiously
trauma-informed,
and informing,
compassion/pleasure-motivated constituents?
[Or, in the case of more therapeutic parenting, our kids.]
How can I bring this nonviolently communicating extended family along
on this transformative journey
toward economic and political
enlightened and empowering
cooperative love-life discovery
about what promises to optimally secure
and sustain
short and long-term regenerative healthcare outcomes?
On the other hand, what threatens to perpetuate
dissociative 0-sum bottom-line
capital-investment
Business As Competitively Usual,
defiantly invested in my either Win or Lose campaign debates
but not in my wiser
and more Win and Win bipartisan co-empathic moments
and cooperative days
and co-invested weeks?
Bicamerally evolving, revolving, resonating
more compassion
more deep learning curiosity loving hearts
resonant, rather than dissonant, bihemispheric ecological minds
born of DNA-fueled bodies
born of RNA-reweaving deep rooted ecotherapeutic
peak interdependently cooperative climate experiences
recomposing organically wealthy planet Earth.
We could approach this season of gratitude
more democratically investing in cooperative ownership and management
of interdependent political economies.
Healthy peace-making cultures
prefer to invest in deeper and wider democratic ownership
rather than more competitive plutocratic mismanagement
and authoritarian ownership.
Bilateral exchange economies,
like the power and control political relationships
from which communication systems derive
investment and divestment values,
with monopolistic capitalist 0-sum Win or Lose understories,
monotheistic anthropocentric entitlement stories
assuming survivalist might makes right evolutionary theory
is the only true historic game
on cooperative organic-nurturing polycultural Earth
Will always health- and wealth-care underperform
more robust empowerment of democratically multicultural
win and win bilaterally co-intelligent peace-making
Nonviolently communicating
through both word and action
more democratically trusting
than autocratically mistrusting
polities
Composed of EarthPeace history’s
organically sacred
preferentially polyamorous
extended peak passion/pleasure
win/win crown to root
ecotherapeutic families
Reflecting on how our past experiences,
often traumatic,
have compassionately prepared us
for this EarthPeace-making leadership vocation
at this climate-failing anthropocentric time.
Reading Csikszentmihalyi again,
whose last name would be Csikszenti,
if Mihaly, his first name,
need not also bring up the rear of his family name,
which has nothing to do with anything that follows,
I am sure you are already relieved to know.
I continue wanting to add words in.
Occasionally substitute,
probably not because my choice would be more to his point,
but to mine,
which I hope is the same as his,
only slightly different,
but probably at least as redundant
as Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi,
but in a resonantly hopeful way.
“A person without [healthcare] skill
cannot recognize a [pathological] challenge;
but without confronting a challenge
one cannot realize [optimize?] one’s [thriving healthcare] skills.”
Mihaly continues to look for a better term than ‘spiritual’ skills,
for fear it may be too vacuous for vibrant connection.
He flirts with ‘wisdom’; better.
But, apparently is not familiar with Gregory Bateson’s ecology
of natural regenerativity as sacred and/or organic ‘system’ dynamics.
Mihaly says these nature-spirit skills [systems?]
require power to directly control experience,
but this does not feel directly, or sufficiently, accurate to me.
Wise healthcare skills develop capacities to control feelings
about personal embodied experience,
including our unilateral incapacity to control systemic trauma
and/or peak polyvagal climax experiences,
for robust or struggling healthcare wealth.
Sacred/organic mindbody wisdom
feels less LeftBrain dominant
about “manipulating memes that increase harmony among people’s thoughts,”
and more RightBrain prominent
about communicating polyculturally polyamorous feelings
Of waxing and waning passion/pleasure
that increase resilient resonance
with other’s compassionately therapeutic
and dispassionately traumatic
neurosystemic experiences
Actively hoping
to increase ecologically organic
and personally sacred harmony
among kind and loving healthcare thoughts, emotions,
democratically inclusive willpower,
cooperative win/win powers
To consume and produce
healthy co-investments
and systemic trauma disinvestments
(e.g. not taxpaying the TrumPublican malgovernance mis-administration
to abuse and neglect)
polyculturally progressing toward peak wise wealth
Whole Healthy EarthMother Passion/Pleasure reinvestments.
I am less inclined to label those with deep listening
sacred ecology learning skills
‘shamans’
preferring ecotherapists,
or ‘priests’
preferring Gaia Hypothesis enlightened
and trauma-challenge empowered
healthcaring authority figures.
More likely among those who never had to unlearn
dogmatic belief in a monoculturing god
of retributive condemnation
created in our own anthropocentric image.
Ultimately impassioned
and panentheistically pleased
our neuro-sexsensory systems indigenously agree
Wise sacred/organic elders, like trees,
thrive through neuro/eco-systemically remembered
win/win reinvested
compassionate communication outcomes
outputs
regenerate health
and safe democratic wealth
results.
“What is common to all forms of spirituality [including indigenous wisdom]
is the attempt to reduce entropy [degenerative dissociated displeasure dispassion]
in consciousness [neuro/eco-systemic sacred/organic co-intelligence].”
“[Whole Organic System] spiritual activity aims at producing harmony
among conflicting [healthcare] desires,
it tries to find meaning among the chance [risk/opportunity] events of life,
and it tries to reconcile human [sacred-mind/organic-body] goals
with the natural forces that impinge on [and nurture] them
[freedoms toward health and freedoms from pathological exposures, over-investments]
from the [organic ecosystemic] environment.”
“It [sacred-neuropsychology/organic-ecology synergy] increases complexity [polycultural regenerativity]
by clarifying the [peak passion/pleasure experiential] components of individual experience
such as good [democratic compassionate health] and bad [autocratic dispassion/displeasure],
love and hate,
pleasure and pain.”
“It [Gaia Hypothesis of pronoia] tries to express these [appositional cobinary] processes
in [LeftBrain verbally dominant] memes that are accessible to all [anthro-sapients],
and it helps integrate them [us] with one another,
and with the external [sacred/organic EarthCare] world .”
“[T]he reduction of conflict and disorder through [peak] spiritual [passion and natural pleasure] means
appears to be very adaptive.”
[for polyvagally/polyculturally synergetic healthcare]
That is as understated as suggesting RightWing trauma management strategies
are not keeping us passion/pleasure climaxing enough
for mind/body resonant resilience
Democratically progressing
toward Win/Win cobinary
AnthroMind/EarthBody healthcare
Neuro/eco-systemic
peak compassion/pleasure ecstatic
re-membering
re-ligious
re-generative experiences.
The title,
How the West Came to Rule,
disturbs me enough to continue reading,
like wanting to escape a nightmare
but too fear frozen with why it could never truly end well
to stop dreaming.
In this case,
is to stop reading.
This history of violent capitalism’s romp across Earth,
fueled by eco-political engines of Europe,
and then industrialized and militarized former colonies,
is brilliantly nuanced and developed
And yet, for me,
the subtitle GeoPolitical Origins of Capitalism
is also the story of
How the East Came to Defeat
through more economically
and politically cooperative-normed extended families
Elder Venerating as reconnecting practice
nurturing personal and familial prosperity,
multiculturally held as religious and ethical,
ecological and psychological,
natural and spiritual grace
Invoking dipolar cobinaries–
yang/yin
FatherSun/EarthMother
mountain/valley
patriarchal/matriarchal
enlightening/empowering
polytheistic ecological balance
In remarkable contrast
to anthropocentric monotheistic
industrially militarized capitalism’s
Great Chosen People Assumption
of worldwide colonizing salvation
by means of unfortunately necessary ballistics
because of Original Anthropocentric Sin,
imagining a monotheistic god
made in our own capitalized
competitive Winner v Loser
prosperous image.
Quite different
than Eastern veneration
of cooperatively co-redeeming mature bodhisattvas
multigenerationally connected
back to sacred EarthMother/FatherSun
prime ecological Earth-pleasure/Anthro-passion
Golden Rule relationship
polyculturally reiterated
throughout worldwide
Creation Story indigenous wisdom
In the West, progressively salvific tough-love
monotheistically justified colonizing wars
to feed anthropocentric prosperity
value measured in capitalized wealth
gained by God-endowed aristocrats
practicing, by divine right,
Saint v Sinner colonization
acquisition
Monotheistic might
makes anthropocentric right
to own Earth’s unstraight
unwhite
unmale commodities
Scientifically supported
by an evolutionary historic theory
that Win v Lose competitive survival
of the anthropocentric fittest
brings more powerful prosperity
than WinYang/WinYin cooperative thrival
of EarthCentric peace-making integrity.
I continue reading
How the West Came to Rule
Anievas and Nisancioglu,
and continue my nightmare epic
How the West Came to Lose Earth Health
as authentically resilient Anthro Wealth.
We have become anthropocentrically capitalized
patriarchal lust for acquiring organic property
through immoral condemnation
and illegal colonization,
justified by messianic ideation
Rather than EarthCentric cooperative
matriarchal love for sacred bodhisattva co-redemption
through spiritual AnthroMind compassion
and natural EarthBody pleasure.
How the West Came to OverRule PolyCulturing Wealth
could evoke reborn again opportunities for ecotherapy,
newly woke nonviolent communication responsibilities,
even academic authority?
for how the West and East cooperate
to OverRule Past-Climate Pathologies
An indigenously panentheistic way
of venerating our holy sainted organic Elders,
Left and Right bicamerally indigenous co-intelligence
multiculturally endowing EarthTribe resilient resonance
with West/East bihemispheric prosperity.
Imagine you live in a daily environment
where and when everything you like
is already yours if you simply ask with gratitude,
and is more frustratingly ungraspable
if you cannot acquire sufficient gratitude to ask.
And, it doesn’t even matter whom you ask.
So you need not be troubled by complexities,
historically epic narratives,
about who owns what,
and who does not,
because everyone you meet knows it is their vocation,
it is among their reasons for being,
to give you whatever you want
whenever you want it with sufficient gratitude.
How might you respond to such power and riches,
to both give and to receive
in an exchange economy
that only values gratitude?
How might we gratuitously seed our fertile black soils
and sparkling clear clean rivers,
and smile back at our perfectly protective blue sky?
I don’t imagine this gratitude power
is magical.
I would not want power to be someone else.
I could not gratefully behold beautiful body
great mind perfection
and also gratefully want to possess that mindbody.
You do have the power to ask them, with gratitude,
to help you see and hear and smell and taste their beauty,
but not to own other organic bodies
without sufficient independent power
to appreciate gratitude of desire
Becoming safely healthy polyvagal powers with others
grateful for our mutually grateful compassion,
vulnerability,
cooperatively trusting co-investments,
because your powers of acquisition
are constrained only by this fair exchange economy
of mutual free-will gratitude.
Imagine, as you mature in wanting control,
the organic chemistry of mutually engaged gratitude
when you were an unwounded infant,
without fear of competitively unresponsive
ingratitude
A polycultural pronoia economy
of positive attitudes
without any learned possibility
of experiencing negative ingratitude.
Imagine how you might have heard:
You can be anyone you desire to become
with sufficient gratitude.
You have cooperative powers
to acquire whatever you can gratefully imagine,
as innocent of longing for the unattainable
as an unborn infant
Imagine, from birth,
this divinely human experience
of continuously
relentlessly
without fear-inducing exception
without blame or shame
without negative judgment
becoming whom
and having whatever we wish for
within an ecology of mutually extending gratitude
perfectly predictable trust
having only felt warmly appreciated mutual regard
Without any magical wonder
or mysterious awe
that you are not discontinuously struggling
sometimes longing
needing to break through dispassionate unpleasant feelings
to become whom and have what other organic beings
do not gratefully wish for you.
Imagine that self-gratitude
automatically generates
re-evaluated other-gratitude,
and vice-versa
self-as-also-other regenerating gratitude.
Imagine you are a healthy organic body
with a wealthy sacred mind
living love where and when
all you can gratefully take in
is ours to give each grateful trusting other.
What happens in your imaginative chemistries
when Win v Lose games of Keep Away
revert into Win-Win nondualistic games of Give Away,
but only when productive for
and consumptive of
co-empathic gratitude?
Power to condemn others, and oneself,
is weaker than power to help others, as oneself.
Power to destroy others, and oneself,
is less impressive
than power to regenerate others, and oneself.
Weakness of fear and anger mismanagement,
with terrifying social consequences
and pathological climate outcomes,
is not strength of non-violently communicating
peace-making powers
growing mind/body integrity.
Power to compete and win personal victories
is persistently insufficient
as compared to interdependent powers to cooperate
economically,
democratically,
emotionally aware,
ecologically woke
Empathic power
is more impressively trustworthy
as dissociative power
is more depressively worthy
of mistrust
Emphatically compassionate power
is socially astute
culturally polypathic,
mentally acute
physically resolute
peacefully polyphonic
Regenerative powers begin within
still small ecological voices
cooperatively in-between
organic communion
and sacred wisdom.
A legal/moral fundamentalist’s ecological problem
with weaponized autocracy
and totalitarian Earth-governance supremacy
Competitive power against
organic law and synergetic order
denies DNA animistic
RNA pantheistic
polyculturally cooperative integrity
supporting polyvagal mind/body
crown/root emergent synergy.
Power to defeat
and eat our primary home-identity pie
is not sufficient
to keep our primal home-identity pie.
Our anthropocentric hubris
could never have sufficient
efficient
effective
affective
infective
reflective powers
to optimize Yang manscape wealth
without equivalent interdependent
Yin landscape health.
Anthropocentric malignant governance
through disempowering condemnation
further degenerates nationalistic climates of fear
about what autocratic leaders mean to actually do
and anger about what they falsely say we should think.
Triggering AnthroMind/EarthBody dis-communicating ecocidal despair,
remains anti-ecologically unwoke
to far greater cooperatively co-empathic powers
of healthy panentheistic democracy’s
polyculturing flow
and climaxing grow
polytheistic EarthWealth trends
Thereby missing co-empathic opportunities
to more democratically
and synergetically
and, oh yes, regeneratively
sing and dance
and proclaim and profit
toward Earth’s healthier external
RNA organic landscapes,
and wealthier internal
DNA sacred bodyscapes.
Certainly Earth’s co-empowering intelligence
must be more omniscient
than a mere anthro-supremacist Trump Card
favoring dissociative Winner v Loser pathologies
when WinAnthro/WinEarth cooperative cobinary intelligent
impassioned resonant communion
lies musically at hand
Regenerating
re-empowering
re-creating
inter-religioning
lyrical songs
of sacramental longing
within liturgical dances
of organic belonging.
My son, nearly twenty,
living at home while attending community college,
without prospects of healthier, more robust, alternatives,
believes it is now past time
for pollsters to cast aside their neutral professional agendas
and play a more positive role
in educating this co-invested international polity.
So, ask not just Who are you voting for?
but first, try
Of the nominees for President and Vice President,
and Governor and Senator,
and so on,
of these United States
in which our grandchildren’s children
will see the day when one out of every four people
now living in coastal regions
will evacuate their homes and places of employment
before they return to the sea,
not just because we did not care enough
to slow down our fossil fuel burn rate
but also because we planted herds
of chemically fed cattle
without reforesting today’s climate pathologies
Given overwhelming statistical Anthropocene predictions,
vetted and ubiquitously corroborated,
which nominees for these public offices
do you believe will be most helpful
for these next 7-generations
of winAnthro/winEarth co-governance?
Which nominees will you vote for
because they are in your grandchildren’s best long-term economic
and politically ecological,
and just plain healthy and safety and security and happiness,
regenerative interests?
Which nominees do you believe
are the greatest anthropocentric risk
for continuing current climate
and monocultural pathology trends
toward further partisan paranoid
economic conspiracy mistrust
Divide and greedily conquer
either Winner or Loser
0-sum devolution
exhibiting rabidly nihilistic
and competitively terrifying
anti-ecological
capitalized and weaponized
Anthropocene Business As Usual?
Which nominees for Public Health Defense and Security Office
do you believe would also be strong candidates
for mentoring and facilitating regeneratively healthy outcomes
as CEO for Global Public Health Optimization,
Secretary for All Earth Lives and Deaths Matter Education,
Chief Guru for Environmental Health Defense
and Global Nutritional Security,
Secretary of Effective and Affordable Governance
and resilient ReGenerative Development?
Thank you so much for your healthy and mindful responses now,
and in our Wake Up! voting booths.
So, to all who both did and did not vote
in the 2016 and/or 2024 U.S. Presidential Election,
would you mind responding to my son’s 2020
hindsight ReVision questions?
About your active hopes for Presidents
and Vice Presidents,
and their likely Secretary of EarthRights State
and Secretary of Whole Organic EarthTribe Education
and Secretary of Healthy Humane Democracy Services
So we might all revisit

To USA conservative Christian brothers and sisters,
As I watch and hear and feel our health care
and wealth care resources dwindle,
and predative partisanship grow domestically
and internationally ballistic
I’m bitterly wondering,
on this otherwise sunny autumnal day,
if you feel ANY remorse?
For choosing to unleash
on your own vulnerable children,
your own climate-challenged homeland,
our organically cooperative
and beautiful sacred Earth
This dark,
“vengeance is mine”
spiteful
despotic
greedy
delusional TrumPublican
maladaptive
dysfunctional
irreligious federal administration.
Are you still living lonely
in your evangelical denial
that voting for a transparently
and ludicrously obvious
Anti-loving
Anti-uniting
Anti-peace
Anti-healthcare
Anti-Earthcare agenda
Was the organic Body
and sacred Blood of Christ,
Prince of Peace, informed
re-ligious reviving right
vote to cast?
How do you see your TrumPublican support
as standing with Jesus
on the radical side of “God is love”?
and not unenlightened hate
not fear-mongering
not disempowering anger.
Even the very proper British King James
royal capitalist Bible
says you will be known by your love
for one another,
by strength to love even your enemies
Those who don’t look
or sound like you
or even smell
and taste
and feel erotic attraction
the gendered way you do.
But a universally uniting
Holy Spirit of compassion
is not the way I know you;
I recognize you by your evangelical
nationalistic
sanctimonious
Chosen People sacrilege
Your falsely irreligious sense of holier,
supremely purer,
more orthodox,
than thou.
I know you as the John 3:16
evangelical cult of blind denial
that “God so loved the WORLD…”
Not just orthodox Chosen People,
not just humanity,
but the entire healthy democracy
of interdependent organic good faith
that love always
everywhere
every time
votes for health and peace
and compassionate humor
While hate
and fear
and anger
vote for unease and disease and war,
badly corrupted humor
and bad faith.
I can find it in my heart
to forgive you for one,
even two, sins
of ignorant voter commission
And yet,
on this spiteful day of Anti-Christlike infamy,
my religious mind struggles
to forgive those whose false pride,
cognitive dissonance issues,
continue into this dark dismal night
of Earth’s organic soul
I struggle to find shared passion
and pleasure
with those without any sorrow,
disappointment,
remorse
for irreligious
wrong
ideological dogmatism
Bad faith that TrumPublicanism
was God’s way of saving you
from voting for healthy multicultural inclusion
Healthy democracy’s constitutional aspiration
for restoring a more perfectly loving unity,
passionate happiness,
pleasures of sacredly organic,
interdependent peace,
not more unwealthy monocultural trauma
Irreligious
and irresponsible evangelical cults
of nationalistic sin
against Earth’s indigenous wisdom
Often Holy Spirit experienced outside orthodox lines
of monopolistic monocultural monotheism
Including prehistoric panentheistic
and EarthMother polytheistic
and pantheistic
and animistic reconceiving re-ligioning
living water
and mustard seed
healthy faithful wealth traditions
None of which are overwhelmingly recognized
by monotheistic addiction
to the anti-loving side
of fascist messianic ideologies
endemic to TrumPublican partisan strategies–
divide to conquer
Not democratically unite
to make constitutionally intended
world redeeming peace.
If you are feeling any shred of remorse
for ignoring political history of death
and/or theological mystery of love
reborn
Own it,
speak it,
transform silence
into choice
for extending love’s bipartisan resilience.
To do so will certainly not reduce you
to feeling worse,
and will increase our healthy democratic capacity
To feel better,
organically healthier,
loving,
peaceful,
faithful,
hopeful,
sacred belonging
Gathering together
our irreligious remorse
and our inter-religious choice
for global Prince of Peace rejoice.
Hold me.
Hold me one last time
within your strong brown arms
and red-blooded heart.
Hold me to your chest
so fierce with lovely loyalty,
warm inclusion
not yet chilled by my exclusion.
Hold me this one last time
remembering all our years
and glad times before
Shading from memory
aching days and nights alone
without passion’s touch
on skin
in heart
beneath belonging mind
longing to live more fully in this body
worthy of graced embrace.
Wrap your arms
and legs around me,
your breath
and sweat secure me.
Hold me one last time
before I go
where we cannot again
feel ourselves together
warm skin to warm
too thin.
Hold me for our love
and not our loss.
Hold me this one last time
forever.
In my early 70s (not THE early 70s) I discovered, without having had the benefit of being properly schooled for old age planning, that “long-term lifetime goals” have become “longish term waistline objectives” over maybe the next decade or so.
The retiring, too quickly transpiring, nature of these hoped for outcomes has also triaged down to a more responsible mature adult scale of peace-making literacy:
good health plans for resilient physical dexterity,
(used to be sexual athleticism)
good humored anticipation of resonant mental acuity,
(used to be world-famous genius)
and good faith passion for integrity
(used to be making a living by doing something not hopelessly toxic to everyone, everything, everywhere, all the time).
Big surprise in the gerontology department, lesser quantity of life, but healthier qualities of love.
A Taoist’s pronoia version of fair trade.
(used to mean not-fair-trade paranoia about getting ripped off by suspiciously threatening Others, God, Aliens, Big Brother, Artificial Intelligence, Big Pharma, Big Government, Big Bullies, too much over-capitalized, and weaponized, Bigness, etc.)
Now I practice compassion-engaging faith and humor and health by responding to systemic TrumPublican trauma with music and movement therapy, and writing sexual politics poetry, for which there is not a large commercial market, and practicing good liturgical song and dance.
Now in my 70s, I’ve also noticed that good sacred music, like good humor, and good health, is not just about commitment to the stretching movement, but also to the silent rest.
