Original Freedom of Intent

Do you see yourself as more Republican
or leaning more Democrat?

Oh my,
I’m a card-carrying Republican.
Came from a long patriarchal line
of red-blooded Republicans.

What makes you a Republican?
What is Republicanism, do you think?

Well…being against the Democrats, mostly.

OK.
I get that.
But, what are Republicans for
that Democrats are at least not in favor of
enough to give it sufficient priority
for you to feel economically and politically comfortable?

Republicans are Freedom Fighters.
Give us liberty or death.

Well, presumably we will all have both,
eventually,
but liberty for what,
freedom to what,
freedom from what?

Free markets
and freedom of religion
and free from terrorist
and communist
and immigrant threats,
to begin with;
freedoms protected by our Constitution.

And presumably Democrats are, then,
for unfree regulated markets,
prescribed and proscribed religious derision,
because they are all liberal atheists anyway,
and more willing to tolerate terrorism and socialism
as part of Earth’s sick political and economic bounty,
and are, at best, ambivalent about freedoms
and values
asserted by monotheistic Constitutional authorities,
fundamentalistically interpreting
their Original Historical-Cultural Intent.

That sounds about right.

Would you agree that the Preamble
and the somewhat older Declaration of Independence
bear seminal weight
for establishing the Constitution’s intent
with regard to protection and promotion of freedoms?

Maybe.

Democratic freedoms
during our pre- through post-revolutionary period
were originally defined by contrast
against a traumatic unfree history
of economic and political aristocracy.
Our interdependent constitution as a free nation
composed of States with their own democracy enriching
intentional constitutions
were statements that we would not be owned
nor tyrannically controlled,
taxed and terminated,
by royal decree.

Freedom from kleptocratic authorities lies within our U.S. Constitution’s purpose
to establish a liberal union of democracies,
to live in interdependent cooperative freedoms
in which political authority’s boundaries
no longer exceed compassionate economic co-invested co-responsibilities.
Which party would you argue
is more articulate about sustaining freedoms from autocratic
centralizing
power trends and systems
advocating eco-political outcomes
of jingoistic nationalism
that disguise caste privilege of the rich and powerful
becoming ever more rich and controlling?

Well, I’m not sure.
That would probably be the Greens
or the Libertarians.

And,
which party is more liberally committed
to supporting regenerative interdependent responsibilities
to sustain future generations
of balanced democratic freedoms
from pathological plutocratic authorities
and growing grass-root freedoms to become responsibly,
compassionately,
co-responsible nurturers and health caring
of and for Earth’s future cooperatively renewing
and self-regenerating
Commons?

That would be the polyamorous Green polyculturalists.

So, why aren’t you that,
instead of a MAGA card-carrying Republican?

Oh, that’s your easiest question yet:
Because nobody votes for the Greens,
and hardly anybody has even heard,
much less smelled or seen,
a cooperatively integral
Permaculture Designer
or compassionately nonviolent communicator
or restorative justice of peace.

Unless you count democratic
root-systemic trees
and liberally fertilizing bees,
pantheistic plants
and compassionately communicating ecosystems.

But we don’t.
They can’t vote.

Neither do xenophobic
caste-privileged
monopolistic
straight white male dominant
rich and powerful
kleptocratic corporations.

Do you see Constitutional Intent
as more Republican corporate
or leaning more Democrat
MotherTrees and bees?

AntiSocial Darwinism

We need to talk.

Is this one of those times
where you need to talk
and I must pretend to listen
while you rant?

Well, yes,
if you could extend this favor.

Your topic?

Social Darwinism.

Isn’t that the birthplace of unfettered Capitalism
and Fascism
and Totalitarianism
and anthropocentrism,
and plutocratic caste preservation
where greed to breed
and bleed-out others
is doing what comes naturally?

Umm, yes.
Or at least those are its long-term degenerative faces.

Do you find any hope
for a happy face
when talking trauma at me
about predation and piracy,
chronic competitive survival issues,
and other unhappy endings?

Yes.
I mean no..

Yes and no,
which is it?

Exactly.
That’s why we need to talk.

And listen better together.

Yes, to both sides of Darwin’s evolution;
I mean, our ecological devolution,
and both.

The Win v Lose competitive survivalist’s zero-sum side…

And the sexier
but unprivileged
nurturing nutritional side
of Win+Win transformations
in cooperatively thriving
global healthcare.

Yes, this living organic world
in which rights and responsibilities of reproduction
are Earth’s more matriarchal cooperative vocation,
understory of all our blood and gore
climate of pathology,
competing monocultural
and monotheistic
and monopolistic histories.

Please tell me we are not heading
to Left and Right reprise,
for this anthem grows exhausting
to my cooperative bicameral ears.
You preach to our gospel choir
as if we were invoking Darwinist piracy
rabid plutocracy
vapid supremacy
rather than socially regenerative evolutionists
of peace restoring democratic justice
for all sacredly organic creatures.

My chronic frustration shows
only to those who already agree with me
unlike our alien enemies
who will not Win+Win
listen for Both-And
Common ComPassionate Communication.

Well baby, we all can hear in stereo,
or at least most of us can.
Just lay out Darwin’s Both-And experience
and scientific v sacred observations.

I’ll try to keep this short.

Already too late for that
I fear.

Darwin,
biologists,
and human people with reproductive compassion,
or even just recreative pleasure intent,
breathe and beat
sing and dance
within Earth’s cooperative rhythms
of Win+Win historically fertile associations.
If this were not our understory of eco-political
multigenerational
polyculturing progress
toward enriching long-term growth,
then Win v Lose dissociations
of prey v predator
could not sustain
as a co-passionate health norm,
a profoundly holistic mutual acclimation status,
rather than a monopoly-building thrival of the fittest story
of resilient economic empowerment
and resonantly democratic enlightenment.

So you would remind us
of what we already know from cooperative sexual experience.
Any organic system,
to remain a viable system,
must capture a Win+Win double-binding positive feedback yield
within its interdependent environmental relationships
adequate to sustain reproductive development.
Those systems that fail to achieve
predominant production of WinInternal+WinExternal outcomes
become consumed by Win v Lose survivalist struggles.
Failure to Win+Win thrive
through ego/eco-systemic mutual acclimation,
destined to expire through exosmotic depletion.

Yes,
I hope that was why we needed to talk sequentially
and listen simultaneously.

But,
what about this Type A personality argument,
that too much contentment,
hoarded wealth safeguarding egos from discomfiting challenges
and Win v Lose threatening competitions
produces Queen Bee satiated outcomes,
absence of motives to get ahead
or behind something better,
and long-term dysfunction
of over-bloated navel-gazing egos
and upper caste preserving families
and elitist tribes
and an anthropocentric yet inhumane species?
Nothing breeds survival failure
like too much Win v Lose success.

That is,
although I hesitate to say it,
LeftBrain EitherWin OrLose neoliberal propaganda,
deductively reducing RightBrain’s BothWin+NotLose
co-empathically felt capacity to imagine cooperative intent.
LeftBrain verbal dominance is too seldom discomforted
by cognitive-only barriers to active ideological cooperation.
Win+Win systemic supports for co-ownership and democratic governance
without which reproductive physical health rights
and mental health lefts bipolar dissociate,
leading to self-dissatisfied suboptimizing depressions,
lack of regenerative motivations
in which organic body needs for kind touch
becomes dissociated from
sacred mind wants for compassionate communication
setting our neurological stage for chronically stressed Type B behaviors,
like self-anger and loathing,
fear and paralyzing paranoia
about overcrowded climates of growing pathology,
Earth’s manscapes and landscapes
of deadly Win v Lose demise.

I’m not sure what is my double-binding both-and positive take away
from all that,
much less yours.

I wish we could stop hearing Social Darwinism
as an antisocial commitment to bottom-line capitalism.
Darwin,
like all those enraptured within Earth’s reproductive
re-connecting
re-ligioning nature,
heard and saw both our cooperative Win+Win
thrivalist understory
of domestic fertility
and the competitive Win v Lose survivalist history
of predative piracy overwhelming preyed upon victims
Praying that someone else will be today’s weaker loser,
even if I might have to help Mother Nature along
just a bit
by giving some other barely standing person
a nudge under the irreligious train
so the rest of us have more room
to get on
and stay on our trembling train
for one more daily ride
before perdition.

You know, dear,
sometimes I get lost in your mixed metaphors,
and yet the days of the Great MonoTheistic Train
requiring a daily human sacrifice of pleasure
to continue our torturous ride through dispassion
feels largely anachronistic
as well as anthropocentric.

I hope that’s true.
Yet, I hope we might all cooperatively board
a more diverse SocialEvolution Train
of LeftMind thoughts
and RightBody feelings
Both-And bipartisan
Win+Win ecological thrivalism,
to let go of Left v Right
Either upper caste preservation
Or lower caste abolition,
Win v Lose short-term survivalism
triggered by systemic RightWing trauma.

Sounds more like a prayer for revivalism
of reproductive rights and wrongs
of social ego/eco-systemic bountifulism.

Did we talk Peace?

You tell me.
You’re the one with Type A need
to competitively talk and act out
in your speaking means not listening
singing means not dancing
dominating dissociative way.
When I speak,
I assume the only person deeply listening
for what you might care to engage next
is me.

Which is why we need to talk more.

Maybe, so we can listen more deeply
and widely.
But also why you always want the last endless word.

I resemble that.

[Yes you do,
but if I say this out loud
then you will continue talking
about what both is and is not socially true
and when
and where
and why;
an anthem more reproductively sung
and horizontally danced
by a Win+Win hopeful cricket.]

I can still hear you,
you know.
I feel more like a hammering away red-headed woodpecker,
hungry;
not ever, even once, satiated.

Natural and AntiSocial Capital

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

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

These are all forms of restoratively healthy intent
to grow cooperatively nurturing ecopolitics,
as contrasted to retributive antisocial trends
toward further climate and political landscape
reactionary pathologies,
alien-fear and WE-FIRST! anger incensed,
flavored,
darkly infested.

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

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 hate
anger
fear
and greed.

Monotheistic-anthropocentric climate denier claims
have become internally contradictory,
oxymoronic,
and self-defeating,
self-denying

And Earth-denying in a larger capital cooperative sense
of climate progress
internal+external co-passionate health emergence.

For example,
you might have heard:
I don’t believe that bipartisan Win+Win ecopolitics
could ever become more culturally resonant and robust
than continuing Win v Lose militaristic capitalism.

And yet,
whether you have faith in cooperative restoration
as more robust than competitive retribution
does not change the evidence of evolving history,
beginning at Empty
and climate developing toward fully interdependent
evolving revolutions,
flowers and their next-generation seeds,
their synergetic democratizing potential,
within Earth’s moist humus

Revolving eco-redemptive events,
evidence of Gaia’s radically pantheistic love
overpowering dehumanizing privileged monotheism

God-killing wrath
against our own mortality,
and the daily humiliations of ego competitions never 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 and elegantly ecological.

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

But,
saying we do not believe in this revolutionary end
to LeftBrain competitive EitherWin-OrLose dominance
is unenlightened about humane wants
and disempowering. divinely embodied needs

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 confess
your appositionally dipolar
enlightened mind
empowering body 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,
reconnecting,
religioning,
healthing our Golden Capitalist MindBody Rule,
to love FatherSun 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
capitalized LifeForms
and forces
and flows
and neuro/eco-systemic 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 minds
with human bodies 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 restorers,
democratizing organic sanctification
through social nurturing capital re-investments.

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

National Public Radiators

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,
and,
most likely,
those who send in dollars,
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 cooperative eco-civilization 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 and lust heavily toward higher education

And rabid to-the-roots,
Straight White Male Privileged 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 MAGAs who do not invest in NPR,
I suspect those Republicans who prefer to NPR listen,
rather than RightWing AM Rant,
also find this positive correlation between deeper learning
and active eco-civilized 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 partisan egocentric and anthropocentric
nationalistic success is divinely inspired
by God’s Invisible Hand of Independent Might Makes Right
caste preservation strategies
intentions
without public venial mentions.

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 always prefers cooperative,
more than competitive, learning
and deep listening 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,
healthy resonance,
both-and nutritionally inclusive and diversifying wealth

Rather than snarky narcissistic capital disinvestment
through autonomous competitions,
in a monocultural assumption of EitherGod/OrEvil fundamentalism
where Earth’s historically polyculture-preferred evidence
more resonantly broadcasts Both/And
eco-civilized re-investment.

Love powers refine
political power of Win/Win cooperativity,
Fear powers define
mistrusted Win v Lose competing disempowerments

We could not have healthy and reliable growth
of empirically-supported and verified public information,
much less wealthy faith re-investment economies,
unless the power of positive eco-capital investment
overwhelms and absolves powers of negative ego-decapitation
independent capitalistic disinvestment.

But then,
I am one of those Earth-patriotic Public Broadcasters,
so sometimes my multicultural balance
can become as useless as a soap box
without two feet planted
on sacred organic ground,
not not double-bound

Starting with a head cold
and ending with an overheated brain.

Sacred 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 powers,
yet thrives on simplicity
without devious 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 ego-mind
left disembodied behind

Then visit again five hundred years from now
to notice in this same variety of ego-
and eco-
conscious passion ways.

In all these disembodied images
my frequent flyer
yet frugal ego remains
relentlessly enclosed
by limitations of my own body’s discontinuous memory
of ego-eco recentering mind,
favoring transparent fluidity of confluence,
aesthetics of peace
contagious passions
pleasure in symmetry
full-color harmony

Therapeutic integrity of time travel
resonantly trusting in
and dissonantly mistrusting out
momentarily before breathing back in
with equanimity.

Becoming extended out through Earth organic
space and time,
only and finally to come back to rest
within polyculturally edified
yet eco-politically simplified
reconnecting 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 phylogenic connection

We human natures each and all meta-morphically breathe in,
evolutionarily extend out
to transcend mere ego images,
befriending frugal flow of trusting EarthTribes
past history
and future mystery.

My body restrains
and trains my mind
as anthropocentric evolution constrains
organic Earth’s co-empathic ethology,
as Earth ethotic landscapes
retrain out
restrain in
sacred climates of compassion.

Podcast Episode: Power, Ecology, And Care

Pip: gdill52 is back, and this week the site goes from national economic policy to the neuroscience of intimacy — which, honestly, is a wider range than most cable news networks manage in a full quarter.

Mara: That's the territory we're covering today — a sharp critique of trickle-down economics, and a dense, playful meditation on polyamory and peer therapy. Let's start with the money — or more precisely, who's keeping it.

Trickle-Down Economics Critique

Pip: The central argument here is that trickle-down theory was always a promise, and the poem What Trickles Down is interested in what happens when the people promising it say the quiet part loud.

Mara: The poem sets up the contradiction directly — here's the line: "he paid so very little income taxes because it is his sacred duty to himself his family his stockholders, corporately invested infesters, to pay as little tax and operating fees as legally possible so there is more to hoard, and less and less to trickle out."

Pip: So the upshot is that the ideology and the behavior are openly in conflict — the man advocating for wealth flowing downward is describing, in his own words, a system designed to stop that flow entirely.

Mara: The poem names this directly — what was sold as economic generosity becomes, in the poem's phrase, "The Upper Caste Constipated minimal trickling out of capital hoarding." That's not a policy critique dressed up as poetry; that's the policy critique stated as plainly as it gets.

Pip: And the ending earns its disgust — the "humble caregivers opening your golden ballroom doors for tips and cleaning your several stressed toilets, where yellow and brown too slowly trickle down." The metaphor completes itself, and it does not flatter anyone.

Mara: What the poem is really doing is holding the stated theory against the revealed preference — and finding that the theory was always cover for the preference.

Pip: From tax policy to something considerably harder to summarize — the next piece asks what therapy looks like when the framework is entirely its own.

Polyamory And Peer Support

Mara: Polyamorous Peer Therapy arrives as a dialogue — one voice offering an elaborate, systems-theory-inflected vision of healing, the other gently noting they are not, in fact, into talk therapy.

Pip: The offering voice goes deep fast: "PolyAmorous Squared/Fractal cobinary remembering ontological neural landscapes reproducing therapeutic design with glial-indigenous peak communication climates of bilateral egoCrown/ecoRoot polyamorous therapy."

Mara: What this means in practice is that one speaker is building a complete cosmology — Yang, Yin, glial networks, fractal patterns, win-win game theory — and the other speaker's response is essentially: we prefer the sound of the ocean.

Pip: The gap between those two positions is where the poem lives, and it is a genuinely funny gap.

Mara: The piece ends with the elaborate-theory speaker losing their audience entirely — "Oops, I think I lost them" — and the closing exchange, "Don't talk dirty, dear. Unless you mean it," lands as the warmest possible punctuation on the whole construction.

Pip: It's a poem about connection that enacts the difficulty of connection — which is either very clever or exactly what you'd expect from something titled Polyamorous Peer Therapy.

Mara: Two very different registers — political anger and intimate comedy — but both are interested in the same question: what actually gets shared between people, and what gets held back.

Pip: Next time, we find out what else is on the site. Hopefully something about infrastructure, just for the range.

Higher Health Powers

I was noticing that those in the Unitarian Universalist Association,
with which I am more or less anonymously affiliated
in some far too sensitive way for personal comfort,
believe in three prime sources for their (our) truth search,
rather like a revised holonic trinity,
equally at home for Buddhist monk
or Islamic
or passionate Christian
not at all black v white
saint v sinner
fundamentalistic.

The first of these is a Higher Power.
Now this must have been written by the Yang Universalists
within the Universal-Unitarian assembly,
because every wholesome Yin Unitarian knows
that what is a Higher Power for Universalist Yangers
is also a Deeper Power for Unitarian Yinners
bilateral Both upside And downside winners;
so, a HigherYang/DeeperYin Power.

Then we come to the second source,
YangLife and YinDeath.
Now any bicamerally balanced Unitarian/Universalist,
just as any Wu-Wei Taoist,
knows there is always something of Yin within Yang
and vice versa;
so, not fundamentalistic
Yang v Yin

Just as there is something of our daytime lives
in our nighttime dreams
and vice-versa

Sometimes inductive dream work
presents bipartisan incisive insights
into next morning’s Win/Win transformation

For a breathlessly filling balance
of ego- and eco-consciousness,
empathically trusting in healthy Yang universal life
and safety of exhaling final Yin unitarian death

Leaving further climatic paradoxes
and coaxial dialectic nondualities
for future regenerations to sift through,
feel,
engage,
please,
tease,
comprehend and decompose
to then reweave again
thicker,
deeper peace

As full-octaved light emerges from
resonantly empowering
deep penetrations and dark circlusions
so organic life emerges from sacred mini-death
mind explosions with body erosions

Coital absence of disparate life at ego-centered levels
posing both ecological risk and anthropocentric opportunity
in wider and deeper EarthMother nurtured
cobinary becoming
polyamorously together.

Finally, we have sacred words and ways,
YangLogos and YinMythos,
integrity’s passion/pleasure experience
reflected in remembering language
of ancient copulation
populations,
presumably filled and emptying
and refilling with both higher and deeper
caste powers.

So, that’s it.
We have higher patristic Universal Light
with deeper bicameral learning
matriarchal Unitarian Power

Living when not dying
to win YangSpirit/YinNature nonduality together,
as written in fusing-fractal DNA, and RNA

Each sacred ecological re-generative
co-operative
re-productive rights
and re-creation wrongs
EarthWealth story.

Now our 3-Source trinitarian story takes us to 7 Principles,
which some permaculturists would expand out to 12,
while spiraling octavists, and maybe sufis and artists, stop at 8,
which eyes and ears reweave
into a regenerative bilateral-fractal 4
seasons of health and safety restoration

Perennial transformation
or cooperative system regulation
and self/other governance

if you are a Yin-Unitarian NonZero-Sum economist
or a Yang-Universal EarthRights healthcare politician
or possibly even nondual BothCrown/AndRoot

And other bilateral root ego health
and branching eco-safety systems

Neglecting Top v Bottom Lines

I worry we co-invest in big private and public corporate assault
on Earth,
on environmentalism,
on longer-term ecologic
and ecotherapy.

Really, honey?
That’s too bad.
Why not also see long-term assault
as the unintended outcome of short-term neglect
to give cooperative win/win care,
health nurturing behavior,
Golden Rule empowering economics,
like we learned in Sunday School stewardship class?

Well, yes, I guess I can see that.
And yet, responsibility for dispassionate neglect
is not the accountability I seek
for assault on climate health

Multicultural landscapes of regenerative, rather than degenerative, potential,
slow-grown compassion fertility,
organically resilient,
full color octaves of strong-hued eloquence,
resonance for future Earth reweaving regenerators.

I wonder if it helps
to remember that assault derives from learned fear-mongering critical-event behavior,
while neglect speaks to more chronically anxious systems
of over-investment in short-term corporal and corporate ego-inflation,
rather than short-through-long-term
mental/physical
ego/eco
inside/outside
bicameral/bilateral
regenerative therapeutic balance?

Win+Win thriving regeneration
health-care targets
big ego-corporate’s Win v Lose survivalist degeneration.

I think you give sins of anthropocentrism too much evil conspiracy credit
and not enough human neglect
of long-term ecological reward anticipation credit.
When positive growth
is measured only in producing accumulation of human wealth
for investors, taxpayers and shareholders,
without any thought to quantities of resources consumed
in exchange for this production,
this feeds further disvaluing neglect
of investment in caregiving and receiving
long-term consuming and producing
cooperative win/win woke up fullness.

You are reminding me
of all the corporations I have ever known
with four-generation Mission Statements
about their corporate Original Intent,
yet, at best, four-quarter profit-making projections,
positive budgetary outcome
wish lists.

And then, too,
we have the four-generation campaign promises
derived from public corporate officials’ ReGenerative Constitutional Intent,
yet, at best, a 6-year re-election cycle,
and more likely 4-year,
or even just 2.

Yes, we do seem to have a degenerative tension
between the post-revolutionary Constitution’s Original Intent
to keep this democratizing revolution going,
for cooperating with the healthy wealth of Earth
and our nation-state neighbors,
as diplomatically and economically possible,
and within our own multiculturing liberties and justices,
peaceful compassions and pleasures
re-acclimating
anticipation of bountiful peace
into diminished restraining tolerance
of un-ecological risk denial

Traumatizing dissociations
organic life-systems could never nutritionally celebrate,
tearing families from their homes,
children from their terrorizing/terrorized parents,
young adults from their malnourished
self-medicating
Defense Business As Competitively Usual

of not so neighborly

Pleasing Answers Prefer Passionate Questions

Do heated questions hope to end with cool answers,
while pleasing answers never end
without yet more compassionate questions?

How are Case Studies
of anxious organic history
different than sacred Einstein’s
anticipating Thought Experiments?

Wait a minute…

Yes, well that’s not really a difference.
Thought Experiments and Case Studies
both begin with waiting a minute

to notice cause v effect assumptions,
to decompose bifurcated relationships
between sacredly interrelated organic parts

of what
and whom?

Imagining in reverse time,
from now as cause
back toward effects
leading up to my current favorite cause

current noticing,
sometimes chaotic and unsettling
waiting a minute
to notice struggling against

Feels worse
than struggling with?

Do brains
casing out disorganized thoughts
feel more important
than brawn?

And why is this different
than why that?

Does, or does not,
organic complexity
actively hope
for resonant riches?

Is this really democracy’s healthiest question to ask?

Within all Earth’s vast universe
of sacred questions,
could love invest in life more
instead of hell less?

Is this, more or less, probably more,
what you are trying to point out
before I interrupt your thoughtful minute?

Do democratic rulers
find Golden Rules flattering,
and their reverse fascinating?

When don’t richer Case outcomes
invite more fertile Thought Experiments?

Why have I never heard of,
but often experienced,
a dysfunctional paralysis case
for more dysfunctional family studies?

And how is that different than,
or the same as,
an unhealthy patriarchal
and unsafe capitalist
Case Study?

Wait a minute,
when did we begin
declaring positions
always remain the same
when not opposed?

to asking about appositions?

Do we all start with co-passionate noticing?

Can we reverse hot times
back through bio-eros networks
of bilateral climaxing opportunity?

Yes, I suppose so,
but Einstein’s Thought Experiments were metaphysical,
cold mathematics
and unnatural science,
Aren’t Case Studies more like watching non-pornographic Reality Shows,
weaponized capitalist, and usually strong-man, Disaster Movies,
Freudian Nightmares on Mean Sheets?

How do I know
you hope to respond
to your own questions
with better questions?

about how thought systems are the same
when they don’t feel different?

Sorry, honey,
do you agree or disagree,
or both, somehow,
that Einstein’s Experiments are about metaphysical operations
while Case Studies
are about physical and natural operas?

Wait, a minute…
no, that doesn’t sound ecologically correct,
nor feel logically helpful

Are we better
sticking with naturally stuck wealth
realities
or freeing Earth’s spiritually flowing health
relationships?

Didn’t Einstein hope his Thought Experiments would lead to Truth,
therefore, not also False,
much less Ugly?

Measuring statements about space and speed
revolving time
and gratuitous power

evolving mass
and volunteering light?

When you write extended Dysfunctional Family Case Studies,
do you hope you speak Truth
but not Beauty?

About positive,
and, unfortunately, negative energy,
(0)-sum speed of sharing light,
massively devolving power,
a feeling of insufficient healing time
for sufficient health and safety
final answers.

Why is Truth
not always Beauty?

Because that would be confusing

Winning facts
with loser feelings?

If you say so,
but if thoughts grow complex
when do feelings show chaotic risk
and calming climate opportunities?

Wait a minute.
Sorry love.
When do Thought Experiments shut down?

Either True or False premises?

When was the last time you indulged
winning thrival opportunities,
and not losing survival risks?

Writing a lively Case Study
about love’s Thought Experiments

In Win/Win
bilaterally climaxing
mind thought
and body felt
co-passion Cases?

Well, when you ask that way
you come across
less of a dispassionate
Me win vs You lose

Dominating ass?

Who wouldn’t have the first clue
how a dogmatic Life Case Study
might feel less inviting
than a dog-gone lovely Thought Experiment.

Wait a minute…
You’re doing thoughts again.

That thing where you LeftBrain explicate
answers
while I RightBrain implicate
questions?

That somehow do not really quite exist
just yet

Outside of spaceless now
and timeless here?

Biassed
in favor of ecstatic climax
erotic fireworks!

You’re just teasing me, aren’t you?
This cums down to foreplay
in your favorite Thought Experiment?

I feel so used.

Don’t pretend your gorgeous Case Study
doesn’t like it.

Could you talk a little dirtier,
and leave out the exploitive capital
and over-rated patriarchal parts?

Less sacredly surreal
and more organically earthy?

Ummm.
That sounds like you’re ready

to stop performing
and start engaging?

Baby,
you’re the writing Sage

Asking if you
are still my dancing Muse?

Does your musing question hope to end
sooner or later?

With only one most sage answer.

Do answers ever end experiments
without yet more amusing
Curious Study questions?

Wait a minute,
did we leave out
our sexy
and sacred climaxing parts?

My mind feels so bruised,

My body too unused?

Coming To OneSelf

“And when he came to himself”
Luke 15:17

In another millennial time and Chinese/Russian place,
Taoism began as aphorisms and poetry
about political philosophy,
articulating a bicameral tension
between Conservative Yangers,
a patriarchal caste-preserving universe
of monotheistic empire builders,
and Unitarian Progressive Yinners, WinWinners,
a matriarchal cooperative
polycultural
panentheistic
integrative network of nurturers

(the longer the list of descriptors,
the less important history would prove us to be
cooperatively undifferentiated
empty of any sectarian-deductive labeling,
and anthropocentric framing function)

Hence, everyone knows the principles of Interdependent Yang
and not Empty Yin,
and usually metaphorically associate them with Male
and not FeMale,
and Positive and not Negative,
yet few have economically and/or politically defined
the governing power of +1 and -(-0) Tao.

We have the Tao of most every thing
and not no thing,
without necessarily being clear
about what the primal cobinary Tao
adds,
and doesn’t necessarily subtract,
to most every win/win governing identity.

In another millennial time
and New England and Baltimore place,
Reverend Channing proposed to replace the Holy Trinity

With God
the monotheistic LeftBrain Dominant
patriarchal EgoFather
[not EcoMother],
wearing universal regenerative credentials
of historically recognized effectiveness

And
with a pantheistic
RightBrain Unitarian
matriarchal OverSoul
of Grace
and Flow
and Karma
and Gaia’s not (0)-Sum Prime CoBinary Synergy
of ecologically integrative potential
becoming win/win hypostatically united
With God…

[repeat from “With God…” above]

All four Muse sisters co-arising cooperatively together
in ecopolitical health
and bicameral safety Paradise
of DNA with RNA Solidarity in fractal-nutritional seasons
with reasons actively supporting regenerative health,
Original CoBinary Win/Win Tao Intent.

A monotheistic-preserving
Winner v Loser evolutionary model
of mutually assured degeneration
and pantheistic-liberating
WinYang/WinYin ecological model
of regenerativity.

It is this Unitarian -(-0) Elder RightBrain OverSoul
that Reverend Julian Jaynes explores
as how we are prodigal son and daughter
and transient transgender transparent
anthropocentric Egos

and
OverSoul Atman PolyPaths of EcoConsciousness,
Prodigal Unitarians
progressing Ego-belonging minds
and safe body conservationists

Playing Win/Win with LeftBrain ego-centric
ecological discernment
of hypostatically cooperative
Gaia Hypothesis evolution

Rather than BusinessAsUsual LeftBrain idolatry
of competitive capitalistic dissociations,
and concomitant Protagonist v Antagonist violence
in the name of anthropocentric peacemaking

And pathological lack of long-term consciousness
in the name of cobinary eco-climates and ego-cultures
of and for healthy democratic freedom,
optimal protagonist/antagonist liberating safety,
nurturance,
regenerativity,
polypathic polycultural polyvagal systemic integrity.

“…[T]here is something else to be observed
as you study your own [bicameral cobinary] nature.
It is a something of supreme importance….
Suppose you observe in your daily [anthropocentric] consciousness,
now one,
now the other
asserting itself in thought and behavior;
who is it,
let us ask,
who is it
or what is it
that does the observing?”

Polypathic ego/eco-consciousness
of time’s ecologically regenerate v degenerate flow,
resonantly cobinary
and too often chaotically Left v Right
Yang-Crown v Yin-Root chakra dissonance.

“Are you not conscious of still another [Elder RightBrain pantheistic] self,
larger [deeper?] and more inclusive than the others,
that seems to be standing outside watching them,
counting them,
criticizing them,
applauding them [us]?”

OverSoul,
Atman,
Holy Spirit/Nature
holonic matriarchally co-passionate face
of Father Patriarch LeftBrain languaged,
Brahma’s hypostatic Tao
of Gaia;s cobinary win/win hypothesis.

“Who is it that wonders?”

“There are times when you fall so completely into the possession of one
of these smaller [anthropocentric-preserving] selves ,
that you lose all consciousness of the one watching [co-passionately listening] outside.
It is only afterward that the presence of the [actively curious] watcher
is seen and felt [perceived and received].
There are other times
when the [bicameral +1 v -(-0)] watcher
seems to be on the [winYang v LoseYin 0-sum] guard all the time,
and while the lesser [non-anthropocentric root-caste] personalities are having their way,
is continually sounding the word of [caste-preserving] rebuke
or [caste-liberating] encouragement….
You may call it [pantheistic] conscience,
or moral [polycultural] sentiment–
anything you please.
I like to give it the name I have already used
and call it the real
or the larger [bicameralcobinary YangLeft/YinRight] self.”

A rational Gaia panentheistic+1 = -(-0) belief
in an Original CoBinary Hypostatic Union
could be theologically universal “watching”
with regard to root source
of divinely empowering intelligence.

Earth’s anthropocentric watchers
of universally pantheistic ecological relationships
polyculturally progresses
across all win/win pronoia unitarians.

Resonantly inside as reiteratively outside,
rooted feelings below as crowned thoughts above
before +1 Space after -(-0) Time
positive as double-binding negative
Yang as not not Yin
Win/Win prodigiously polycultural.
