Social and AntiSocial Capital

Hybrids,
like a good creole stew,
are amazingly viral cooperators,
competitively so,
reacclimating tastes toward richer anticipations.

We have all heard of social capital
and natural capital,
of social democrats as antisocial plutocrats
and cooperatively-owned capitalist corporations,
including bipolar republics, perhaps.

These are all forms of regeneratively healthy intent
to further cooperatively nurturing ecopolitics,
as contrasted to degenerative antisocial trends
toward further climate and landscape reactionary pathologies,
alien-fear and patriotic anger incensed,
flavored,
darkly nurtured.

For example,
early Christians believed the death and resurrection of their loving Messiah
reincarnated within their own cooperative nurturing hybrid communities
would regeneratively inoculate them
from a jealous YHWH’s apocalyptic
post-millennial
revolutionary climate changing war
against those who killed His divine-humane hybrid.

Now, within Christian cultures some two millennia later,
saying one does not believe in following Jesus
has become equivalent to not believing in the superior power of love
over degeneration.

Such climate health denier claims have become both internally contradictory,
oxymoronic,
and self-defeating,
self-denying,
Earth-denying in a larger capital cooperative sense
of climate change as internal/external cooperative health emergence.

For example,
you might have heard:
I don’t believe that cooperative WinWin ecopolitics
could ever become more resonant and robust
than continuing WinLose militaristic capitalism.

And yet,
whether you have faith in cooperative regeneration
as more robust than competitive degeneration
does not change the evidence of evolving history,
beginning at Empty
and climate developing toward fully Interdependent,
diastatic revolutions,
flowers and their next-regenerative seeds,
their creolizing-democratizing potential,
within Earth’s moist humus,
as revolutionary eco-messianic events,
evidence of God’s radically accessible love
overpowering dehumanizing competitive de-capitating
God-killing wrath
about our own mortality,
and the daily humiliations of ego competitions largely not conclusively won,
growing mistrusts,
weeds,
dying thorns among redolent roses.

Climate change
is about both climatic degenerative trends
and climate regenerative nurturing possibilities
for politically cooperative global and individual peace
with ecojustice,
economically ecological.

Yes,
climate change is about apocalypse
and critical-crisis revolutions
within ecopolitical patriarchal
and political-economic domestic matriarchal
harmonious choices and ballots of reiterative discernment
over dis-harmonious debates and competing ballistics.

But,
saying we do not believe in this revolutionary end
to LeftBrain competitive EitherWin/OrLose dominance
is oxymoronic.
LeftBrain dominance is the capacity and odds and ends of language to speak active trust,
to admit ambivalent mistrust,
to declare unredemptively active distrusts.

LeftBrain Might-Makes-Right-And-Bright v WrongWaste
doesn’t care if you believe in its dominating history,
every time you continue feeding yourself
and your children
with your dominant right hand
your LeftBrain actions speak
your oxymoronic confusion of hybrid ecopolitical praxis.

It is as if your right hand
is not aware of what your less socially nurtured left hand
is not doing
as equivalently
as nutritiously
as capital-invested
powerfully.

Eschatology and revolutions
millennialism and global and even personal climate crises
are all about social-natural cooperative nurturing re-investment,
extending out,
democratizing,
creolizing,
healthing our Golden Capitalist MindBody Rule,
to love YHWH-Tao and MotherEarth as oneself
is to cooperatively nurture capital investments
in doing to and with Earth’s matriarchal womb
as we would have all other interdependent capital life-forms
and forces
and flows
and ecosystemic bilateral hybrid functions
bow namaste with regenerator us.

Patriarch Yang-Sun
and Matriarch Earth-Yin
co-evolved their cooperative nurturing Golden Rule,
EcoSystemic Harmonics,
long before divining humans came along
to evolve our LeftBrain capital-dominant sacred scriptures
speaking re-creation experiences oft-retold, then written,
of climate pathological degenerations
and revolutionary climate ecotherapeutic regenerators,
diastatic flowers co-mentoring post-revolutionary creolization,
democratization,
sanctification,
social nurturing capital re-investments.

National Public Radiators

All this long week
of early spring head colds
our National Public Radio informants
and performers,
speakers and listeners,
have been about the business of raising capital investments
preferably in their corporate direction,
to support further public broadcasting
for the benefit of our children
and their children,
and so on.

While this has often felt like a guilt-inducing headache,
I was drawn into a list of statistics about NPR listeners.
Contrasts between those who do listen
and those who do not,
or,
more likely,
those who send in cash,
and those who do not.

At first the list seemed random.
More likely to recycle,
to attend live theater,
go to the symphony,
grow gardens,
bake their own cookies,
read bedtime stories to their kids,
read anything at all.

And then I realized we are looking at social capital;
growing and re-investing in social capital.
What a permacultural designer would relabel
and spread across endangered soils and waters and souls
as eco-capital re-investment;
re-investment in ourselves
in each other’s talents and ideas and skills
in Earth’s re-creative abundance.

The economic thing sometimes not noticed
by ecopolitically cooperative re-investors:
high consumers tend to also be high producers.

So, while they didn’t say so,
I have heard it said elsewhere,
NPR listeners also list heavily toward higher education,
and rabid too-the-roots,
White Protestant Victory Or Die
Republicans know what that means.

Why isn’t eco-capital investment as robust
in traditional Republican neighborhoods,
as in more multicultural Democratic necks of woods
and urban forests?
Or is it?

While there may be as many answers
as there are people who do not invest cash in NPR,
I suspect those Republicans who prefer to NPR listen,
rather than RightWing AM Rant,
also find this soft correlation between deeper learning
and eco-capital active re-investment troubling
to their centrist nurturing instincts and orientations.

It seems difficult to listen to an International Public Cooperative Economy
while simultaneously expecting positive outcomes
from ecopolitically competitive egocentric and supremacist
nationalistic success is divinely inspired
by God’s Invisible Hand of Independent Might Makes Right EgoNomics.

While it seems harsh and judgmental
to speak cooperative prophecy to competitive strength,
we might do well to remember
with Paulo Freire
that teaching is best practiced as mentoring,
and mentoring is always ecopolitical cooperative,
more than competitive, relationship.

Political mentoring relationships that work,
whether you are part of an academic research community,
or part of an architectural design and implementation team,
or part of a cooperatively-owned and self-governing corporation,
require Yangstrength of balance to fall on the side of harmony,
resonance,
both-and nutritionally inclusive and diverse health,
rather than egocentric
eco-capital disinvestment through autonomous competitions,
in a monocultural assumption of EitherOr fundamentalism
where Earth’s historically regenerative evidence
more resonantly broadcasts BothAnd eco-capital re-investment.

If love powers define ecopolitical power of WinWin cooperativity,
so fear power refines mistrusted egopolitical WinLose competing disempowerments,
then we could not have healthy and reliable growth of empirically-supported and replicated information,
much less wealthy faith re-investment economies,
unless the power of positive eco-capital investment
overwhelms and absolves powers of negative ego-decapitation
capitalistic small-self-investment.

But then,
I am one of those International Public Broadcasters,
so sometimes my multicultural balance
can become merely eisegetically polypathic,
which is a multisyllabic way of saying
nuts
and empty zero-sum notnot double-bound.

It all started with the head cold
and overheated brain.

Afraid to Love Too Widely

This ancient apposition
between fear and love,
distrust and trust,
where fear reigns, love has already faded into too-distant hope;
where love co-redeems,
fear can naught but evaporate.

Such dipolar oppositions wear newer wings
of healthy permaculturing wealth
and impoverishing WinLose anti-systemic pathology.

These speak in transliterating dialects
of trusting regenerate truths
and distrusting degenerating dissonance,
arrogance,
confusion,
apathy,
absence of sustaining interdependent curiosity,
dipolar co-gravity.

Those who dance through bilateral designs
of permacultural influence
for polyculturing love’s integrative outcomes,
extinguish LeftBrain’s angry mono-political fears
of disintegrative eisegetical outgo.

Health Systemic CoInvestment

If we were to follow a health model
for optimizing both economic and ecological wealth outcomes,
then investment in public and domestic educational systems
for active ecotherapeutic practice
and developing cooperative, self-regenerative systems,
would become our primary fiscal investment,

While military-surgical remediation
of past overly-competitive pathologies
would become a more secondary retaliatory Win-Lose
defensive strategy,
reserved for proportional disinvestment
in further nationalistic and/or tribal sickness.

So, we might have a slow-growing Educational Defense Department
with a big multicultural peace-mentoring curriculum
and proportionally appropriate investment priorities
for growing active peace domestically,
as globally.

And, a more slow-shrinking Military Police Surgical Department,
with a much smaller multicultural re-education agenda
for WinWin ecosystemic strategies
for evolving long-term cooperative remediation
to re-establish peace with justice
mercifully matriarchal/patriarchal domestic
as graciously extending our global family
through further revolutions of regenerative networks.

Two seminal Biblical teachings seem relevant
to this health and prosperity model.
Those who live by ballistic WinLose swords,
shall die by the sword,
alone.
Yet, those who live by active cooperative co-redemptive love,
shall die in love,
together as One Interdependent Body.

If our personal and political ecotherapeutic love-lives
are a two-edged sword,
all of regenerative history
and degenerating past cultures
conjoin to teach us cooperative health-mentored education
best remains our Yang front regenerate edge,
leaving competitive WinLose military divestment priorities
to a more secondary defensive strategy
for remedially,
surgically,
proportionally,
reverse-hierarchically protecting freedom and democracy and trust and love,
internal and external,
where cooperative economic and ecological climate balance,
domestic and political,
requires us all to sustain even further short-term loss
within Earth’s cooperative health and prosperity,
eco-regenerative intention.

When peace education and public cooperative-ownership
and self/other governing mentorship,
cultural praxis,
multicultural creolization of nutritional voices and sources,
catchment and re-investment,
no longer lead our personal and public investment priorities,
then competitively dying by a WinLose sword
will lead our way to further climates of hubris,
ego/eco anticentric,
ethno-supremacist,
anthropocentric,
rather than caring for Earth,
regenerating cooperative relations with Others,
to care for our health wealthing educated,
and co-mentoring, Selves.

Easter Eggs as Health Systems

Trees and seeds
like embryonic eggs
are each fed by root systems
intending diastatic maturation,
like Easter lillies,
and seasonal, more static, decomposing purgation,
heading toward further cooperative re-investments
or waste
depending on our choices
and way of seeing,
more competitive or more cooperative.

The seed of human nature’s nutritional system
are the trees of Earth’s natural root systems,
ergodic and phylogenic,
designed for ecopolitical cooperation
more than ego-individual,
or ethno-tribal-creedal,
or anthro-super-speciating
monoculturing competitions.

Trees and seeds
and new-life eggs
are each fed by history’s more cooperatively-owned
and governing
root nutritional systems.

Fundamentalists ReDefined

Fundamentalists compete with and through struggling evolution
as Transitionalists would further peaceful revolutions.

Fundamentalism:
A patriarchal-historical view
rooted in interpretation of sacred scripture
written by a nondual co-arising NatureSpirit
dipolar appositionally rooted
of and for regenerative health,
that would err on the side of removing the “natural” lens,
leaving only the reified “ego-spiritual”.

In Taoism,
this would be ecopolitical bias in favor of PatriarchalYang
and disfavor, suppression, of MatriarchalYin.

In Unitarian-Universalism,
this would be ecological and ecopolitical bias in favor of Universalist-StaticTruth Elitism,
thereby suppressing Unitarian-TransitioningTruth Cooperativism.

Sacred scriptures were originally said
and eventually written down,
within ongoing enculturing evolutionary intent,
inspired by persuasive and celebratory and terrifying experiences,
for those with eyes to see,
and ears to hear,
Earth’s enspirited nature,
both matriarchal and patriarchal,
and all creolizing non-elite multiculturalism in between.

This evolutionary co-empathic trust
in dipolar NatureSpirit creolization of experience and language
resists fundamentalist over-spiritualized
and under-historic denaturalized,
and patriarchal-elitist languaged and modeled,
and modern Cartesian dualist
Either ReGenerativeSpirit/Or DeGenerativeNature
absences of full BothAnd
NatureSpirit
nondual co-arising comprehension.

Human language for interpreting traditional systems
is also human ecopolitical LeftBrain expression for understanding transitioning historical systems,
including wisdom from great bilateral nondualist NatureSpirit thinkers
of the permacultural ancient
through modern deductive-reductive-reifying nature struggling against spirit,
science over spiritual expression,
academic world,
together providing a wealth of creolizing paradigms,
where wealth of science could inform healthy nature-spirit teleology,
and natural co-empathic ethological flow functions
and regenerate/degenerate trend analysis
could reform deep WinWin wisdom science,
to help transition us toward nature-spirit nondual observation
and more nutritional
and less toxic
experience of climates and landscapes in revolving transition.

Nondual co-arising deep-transition multicultural,
rather than denatured and reified-spiritualized fundamental,
thinking
and permacultural bicameral design revolutions
only bring sensory-neural balance and comfort and contentment,
peace with justice,
as we reconnect to this transitional wonder
and NatureSpirit mystery
of emerging life through regenerative interdependence
rather than merely reductively degenerating fundamentalism,
stuck in the LeftBrain cul-de-sac
of furthering interpretations of emergent scripture
as also furthering supremacist patriarchal elitism.

Unless we open our NaturalSpiritual democratic eyes and ears,
and use our bilateral hands and feet,
and our bicamerally inclusive hearts and minds and voices,
all these multiculturing paradigms
cannot cooperatively co-redeem us
from our own competing egocentric and anthrocentric
foundational excesses.

LeftBrain dominant Fundamentalists are to postmodern evolution
as LeftRight MultiCulturing Transitionalists
further cooperative-creolize
patriarch/matriarch reproductive right-with-left resonant revolutions.

Human nature-spirits,
like all Earth’s BodyMind Tribal Natures,
choose between the exegetical neural path most taken
and the eisegetical sensory-imaged paths less taken,
to compare and contrast their optimally creolizing outcomes
when regeneratively combined
for further transitioning,
further choosing
along further regenerative/degenerative branches
of co-revolutionary becoming.

Organic Time Travel

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

Embodiment also limits my mind.
Imagination often resists such sparse frugality of powers,
yet also thrives on simplicity
more than duplicity.

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

Then the tip of South Africa
in the next hour,
then visiting both Syria and Korea
five hundred years ago
to explore constancy and change
in how we look and sound,
smell and taste,
how we feel trusting and mistrusting
and how we might feel about my RealTime ego-mind,
and then visit again five hundred years from now
to notice in this same variety of ego-
and eco-conscious ways.

Yet, in all these disembodied images
my frequent flyer
yet frugal ego remains relentlessly enclosed
by limitations of my own body’s continuous memory
of ego-eco centering mind,
favoring simplicity of transparent confluence,
aesthetics of balance and symmetric full-color harmony,
ethics of mutual time travel
empathically trusting and mistrusting out
then breathing back in with equanimity.

Becoming extended out through space and time,
only and finally to come back to rest
within multiculturally edified
yet ecopolitically simplified creolizing presence
of still ego/eco centering me,
hoping you will love how I look and sound,
smell and taste,
feel and empathically trust
at least as much as my mind can
comprehensively engage this phylogenic embodiment
we human natures each and all metamorphically breathe in,
evolutionarily extend out
to transcend mere ego,
frugal befriending flow of trusting EarthTribes.

My body restrains my mind
as our phylogenic evolution constrains our empathic mindbody,
as our embodied landscape retrains our co-empathic climates.

Therapeutic Mentors

Educational process,
like any ecosystemic change with progressive intent,
is not only about successfully transferring exegetical traditions
to the next hopefully all-consuming generation.
That may be the more surface half of trans-generational learning,
and a necessary portion,
but the deeper,
new cooperatively absorbing co-redemptive half,
is about learning regenerative transitional production balance
as defined by notnot degeneratively monoculturing imbalance.

Systemic transitions,
like growing up healthy,
are more long-term deeply resonant
and self-with-other sustainable,
wearing diverse paradigmatic labels,
multiculturing synonyms for health-wealth optimization
more than egocentric and anthropocentric degenerative,
WinLose competition-normed EitherOr monoculturing pathologies.

Educators
might also want to be non-fundamentalist mentors
reminding active young nondual mindbodies
that descriptive pathologists also intend to discern prescriptive therapies,
just as warnings about burning in eternal hellfire
intend to say something that might be more digestively heaven ordained,
balancing ego with eco-positive deviant intent,
rather than continuing degenerative pathological dissonance.

Active deep learners
will expect to rediscover
that dialectal creolization
is about the pre- and post-revolutionary stages
of ecopolitical languages
but also about authority/co-responsibility
of and for democratizing governance skills,
discernment and discussion skill sets
for cooperatively reiterative self-other learning
through enthymematic communication
with diastatic polyculturing co-investment
in positive-functional listening trends.

Active progressive and processive theology
and ecology
an ethology listeners, then creolic speakers,
might learn to recognize
pre- and post-revolutions of language
of science
of artistic media
of resonant harmonic performance and planning environments,
begin with exegetical dominance,
LeftBrain encultured through language acquisition,
yet look for some superceding paradigm of religion
and culture
and social learning
with equivalent RightBrain creolizing simplicity
transparency of before with appositional after
Tipping Revolution Points
within our slow and deep growing evolution process
of bicameral
binomial
bilaterally equivalent teaching and new transition-learning
cooperative exegesis of positive deviant
multiculturally co-evolutionary
ecto/endo symbiotic
learning trials by co-mentoring errors,
to transition wisdom
through co-redemptive WinWin ecopolitics
of redundantly optimal resonant communication
strings of deep-dense regenerative spacetime resonance.

Not too much stale overdrawn exegesis about humane-divine purpose
and not too much wildly ecstatic creolization of meaning.

For mentoring the whole evolving loaf
of Earth MultiCulturing Days and Nights,
don’t forget the pre-revolutionary flour,
but don’t forget the co-regenerative yeast either.
