Dividing Island Nations

In a sense
each person capable of understanding these words
and those who speak diverse languages together
are island nations
splitting in two
by love
or fear
or both.

I have been concerned about the U.S. island of fundamentalist Christians,
formerly part of the One Creolizing Body of Christ,
now morbidly fascinated by fundamentalist Muslims,
as if they were each and all patriarchal elitists
terrorized by Holy JustWar Christians
who tend to vote Republican,
to further their religious missionary freedom
to deny moral equity to other natural-spiritual experiences
on other islands.

Republicans are increasingly AntiChristian Totalitarian
islands spreading across formerly restorative-therapeutic Earth,
interdependent health in a deep sacred ecological wealth sense,
sensory awareness
consciousness
throughout islands which lovingly remain profoundly and radically regenerative,
revolutionary in a PositivEnergy Polyphonic Way.

More Paradise Island
than rabidly exploitive of growing capital value inequities.
More pro-nutritional ecology,
healthy economic co-investments of all life forms,
energy functions and systems and island networks.

Paradising Islands invest for wealthy personal-political restorative exchanges
of justice through peace
for islands making love and not so much aggressive totalitarian control-seeking
over other morally inferior islands
reduced to mere subservient commodities.

Paradise is more gratefully embraced by Wise Elders
of all multicultural islands
than is Westernized commodification
of Business As Usual capital exploitation
of drowning dividing islands.

AgriBusiness extractions of commodities,
like FossilEnergy withdrawals of deep rich value,
come to us
by way of colonizing capitalism’s WinLose models
projecting further devolutionary games
between divided island nations.

But extractive norms for growing Earth’s capital
came from older orthodoxies,
more sacredly and therapeutically held fundamental models
of Earth’s restorative peace
rooted in ego-ecojustice.

Growing resilient and sustainable capital,
whether you are just another divided island, one Ego,
or also the Superintendent of HealthCare Schools,
or just a teaching or parenting island,
or the CEO of a global conglomerating island,
the chief administrator of a community,
the head poobah of a faith community,
the leader of a pack of predative wolves
or a gaggle of migrating geese,
cannot long prevail through colonizing predations
extractions from less empowered island commodities.

Resilient and reweaving Paradise Islands
are made of and for restoring secular-sacred SynergyLove,
within and between EarthTribe islands.

WinWin here and now choices,
bordering polypathic questions of changing healthy time,
are our multiculturing GoldenRule default.

Restorative justice norms,
not retributive just and holy war retributions,
pre-empt and preclude
ongoing fascinations with fundamentalism’s zealous colonizing missionaries
and terrorists
harvesting God’s BadNews commodities,
now giving grateful cooperative way
to creolizing revolutionary Great Restorative Transitions,
polypathic but also anciently orthodox,
patently ecological health
over retributive punishments of hell
in both after life
and current dividing island life of dying fear
and magic anti-historical fascinations
with Revelationary Second Comings.

Personal budgets, economic and political investments,
empowerment planning,
like school budgets
and municipal budgets
and state budgets,
are best balanced through restoring active love’s cooperative therapies
for all island nations.

Sadly, deficit budgets and anti-ecological planning
are least resiliently balanced
through further extending extractive competitions
against Earth and Her SacredTribes,
growing debt with shrinking island nation hope
for restoring healthy economic futures.

Retributive injustice is against commodified EarthIsland,
where once grew
the late great WinWin
deep learning
ecological root systems,
primal notnot (0)-Core-Sum-Commons relational
co-arising ego-eco equity,
co-investments of Paradise Island Love,
Divine Grace,
Secular/Sacred Karma,
restorative ecopolitics
of and for healing Paradise Islands.

Stories of Power and Truth

If we follow the BigBang Energy Story
told by still evolving scientists,
this is an emergent story of how stardust
becomes progenitor of sunlight,
and how our Sun becomes the Creator
of Earth’s healthy fertile soil.

If we follow earliest shamans
and mystics
through their Energy Creation Story,
Sacred MotherEarth’s soil,
born of wealth and holy love,
is Elder RightBrain recast as Anima Mundi,
Holy Patriarchal-Matriarchal Spirit
from which all ecological First Principles,
all Gods of Positive Democratic Energy
and Goddesses of Positive and Negative DoubleFacedEnergy,
of good and evil and in-between,
polyphonically
then polypathically
then polynomially
emerge into EarthSoul,
Earth/SkyMother’s Fertile Womb of Energy.

And all we each want to add to these Stories
are our own sensory experience,
reflections,
memories
of RightBrain sacred universal EarthSoul
of which my own LeftBrain EgoCenter
prefers to become a healthy and fertile,
holonic
nature-spirited
nondual dipolar Part,
co-arising,
co-gravitating,
breathing in,
exhaling out together
as one sacred united healthy reborning
with NewerLeft-Sacred ElderRight
of interdependent Wonder,
Ego-Eco echoing Awe,
spiraling stardust octaves
of harmonic Energy.

BiLateral Energy
banging and slurping
atomizing and waving
flowing and ebbing
loving and hating
informing and exforming
cooperating and competing
our way through natural-spirited history
of good and bad humane-divine humors,
climates,
landscapes,
identities.

This nature-spirit history
of Emergent Energy Democracy
follows renewable stardust energy systems,
networks enabling an inclusively cooperative economy.

Democracy of AnimaMundi
invests in cooperative ecological strength–Yang
and resilience–Yin
of Earth’s HealthyEnergy communities
with active growing good faith
in polypathic interdependence
cooperative non-violent and peace restorative education
within all paradigms
for healthy developing investments
in ReGenerative Energy,
and not DeGenerating Entropy.

This cooperative WinWin evolutionary model
develops mental health
and community health-sufficiency of wealth vocations,
nonviolent and nonexploitive
creolizing co-producers of positively democratic energy,
cooperatively investing all forms and functions of capital.

We each hope to share our sacred ecological development vocations
as spiritual-natural resources
for restoring Sacred EarthSoul’s health,
within and without
not stuck in retributive negative energy pathology,

Together we could better discern sustainable Tipping Points
of interdependent economically healthy relationships,
entertainments
and stories
and fables
and sacred deep ecology curricula
rooted in Ancient WiseElder RightBrain GoldenRule economies,
sufficiencies,
secular LeftBrain scientific humility
with sacred RightBrain aesthetic gratitude.

Emerging EarthSoul democracy of Energy
is rooted in sacred ecological vocations
for extending health care-giving and -receiving,
communicated through multicultural Left and RightBrain balancing
global and
community and
family and
personal ego-eco centers
promising natural-spiritual sacred reforesting outcomes,
rehealthing,
regenerating,
reconnecting vocations
for all children
and women
and men
and transgenders,
for all workers and CEOs,
for all followers and ecopolitical leaders,
for all nature lovers
and spiritual wonderers
wandering interdependently
through Stardust’s sacred spiraling waves
of better informed bilateral learning
rooted in sacred Energy of CoPresent Awe.

Open to Great Transitional Energy

One way of seeing interdependent relationship
between human nature
and all Earth’s natural organisms and systems
is as historic waves of immigrant colonizing populations
spreading out across all unfrozen continents.

To gradually, naturally and spiritually,
over several generations,
become reborn transformed immigrants,
now successfully acclimated, creolized,
as an Indigenous WiseElder People,
population,
with Elite connections
within our ecologically interdependent EarthCommons.

Yet a problem arises
when we allow our migration story to end here
because we have set the stage
for a creole stew of FirthNative Elite residents
without further consideration of continuing energy fluidity
of human nature’s wandering movements
and spiritual ways,
nutritious and toxic energy rhythm flows
across our diversely polyculturing lands
and seas,
seasons of both sacred and natural developments
and undevelopments,
transfers of intentional energy,
migrations with mixed cooperative creolizing
and competitive colonizing
intentions.

Responding to more recent waves of human migration
using retributive and competitive WinLose justice models
as sometimes unmerciful Business As Usual,
punishments for not having arrived sooner,
healthier,
richer,
more robust,
more resonant with currently existing socioeconomic systems
Is counter-productive.

WinLose dominant justice

Redeeming Lost Nightmares

To begin each morning here with now
includes who we bicamerally are,
who we have Elder RightBrain been,
where and when our DNA-scripts
came from RNA-AnimaMundi divine whispers,
and who and when and where and why
we would most clearly appreciate investing in
our shared future on planet Earth,
this and every day.

We each face morningEast and eveningWest,
usually alone and silently,
and yet occasionally together
in good faith communities
and extending families
of positive intent.

Incarnation and discarnation
in a capital iconic culture
include all our assets and liabilities,
relationships and lack of relationships,
intentions and lack of intentions,
good and bad,
emotions and absence of caring,
depth and radiant possibilities of integrity,
emerging harmony,
resonance with EarthTribes.

If you could capitalize
all your assets and liabilities,
all your nutritional value and toxic disvalue,
all your [positive and negative energy potential,
what would you have?
Who would you have this with?
And what might you do together
that each of you would most like to become
not so much alone?

And,
if you cannot capitalize
all your embodied assets and liabilities,
all your nutritional and toxic habitats,
all your relational environment’s energy potential,
then who are you?
How would you otherwise delineate
the limits of your LeftBrained Ego?

Our most sacred potential
may be non-violently explored
and non-predatively known
and cherished
as our Ego’s Highest Power
re-images PlanetEarth
sensed and felt and known
through our inherited
and lifetime experienced images,
reiterative relationships ebbing and swelling,
bilateral communications densing and thinning,
stereophonic polyphonic harmonic memories,
walked and talked in resonant full octaves of sight and sound,
preferring graceful dance and songs of SacredEarth.

We are bicameral energy of polypathic polynomials
surrounded in all four dimensions
of secular space and sacred bilateral time
through consciously intending WinWin positive choices
avoiding LoseLose pathology of Left against ElderRight dissonance.

Mundane Ego and Sacred WiseElder Right EcoRelationships
of Love
as also Positive Psychology
Grace
and Karma
and what Bucky Fuller defined,
and perhaps too densely refined,
as Synergy.

Synergy of Earth’s cooperative LeftBrain Convex
and DoubleBound DiPolar RightBrain Concave,
iconically Yang-Yin,
DNA-RNA spirals
of temporal revolutionary authorities,
responsibilities,
care of and for WinWin choices
as cosmic health,

And LoseLose as Earth’s ParadiseLost
through EitherOr (0)Sum competition choices.

And WinLose evolutionary models
of monocultural AnthroMight Makes Right.
infinitely hopeless suboptimization
of all God’s Sacred Creation,
originally NotNot (0)Sum-Core-Soul of Earth’s
BlackHole AlphaPoint,
predicating DNA emergence from RNA intelligence,
rededicating Ego’s LeftBrain emergence
from EcoSystemic RightBrain’s WiseElder
energy democracy intent.

“Energy democracy”
says Denise Fairchild and Al Weinrub
in The Community Resilience Reader,
“represents a new social [restorative] justice paradigm.”

For some of us,
this is more RightBrain sacred nutrition of a HigherPower
and for some of us
more LeftBrain Ego’s mindbody energy
is just positive
or negative
or double negative double-binding ambivalence
equivalence in-between Polypathic
and NotNot Polyphonic.

But,
if energy democracy,
whether secular or sacred or BothAnd WinWin,
points toward a revolutionary new ego-eco justice health paradigm,
then negative secularizing Energy Totalitarianism
represents commodification of Energy as EgoCapital Supremacy
and not really what we would want to call Business As Healthy Usual.

EitherOr presumptions of LeftBrain dominance
are biassed to tolerate injustices
of an evolutionary model with monoculturing aggression norms
and values,
ethics and RedBlood horror and terror aesthetics.

Yang EgoMight has become not only better
but also ecopolitically stronger
and over-nutritionally invested,
too big,
too robust
until overpowering Yin’s EcoSystemic Solidarity,
RightBrain’s sacred nutritional values
for ecopolitically and personally
and intimately cooperative EarthSoul Health,
flowing out from within.

Energy fascism,
totalitarian aspirations of AnthroCentric monoculturalism
is contrary to our notnot (0)Core primal relationships
rooted in Earth’s cooperative history of SacredEnergy Commons,
composed of many diversely polyculturing subclimates,
as healthier,
more sustainable,
with more integrity,
and more sacred,
and more LeftRight mindbody consciously resonant,
and more bilaterally (0)-Sum WinWin ecosystemically abundant,
and more Yang with Yin
BothAnd
RightBrain WiseElder Original Intent
of DNA’s regenerating phylogeny and homological unfolding
than Yang EgoCentrism’s constant EitherOr strategizing
toward ultimate LoseLose entropic final retributive
self-cannibalizing unjust ends

LeftBrain energy hubris overpowers

Each ego identity,

Better Climate Questions

It has been said
There is no bad question
asked with cooperative integrity.

While those asked with competing disintegrity,
mendaciously,
are not really questions at all.

That said,
conceded as asked and answered,
Some questions remain
more ecologically and economically,
politically and personally,
publicly and intimately,
naturally and spiritually
more significant than others.
More urgent
in times of great climate global extinctions,
than mere national economic recessions.

I remember an economics class
at Yale
when the moderate,
academically and politically even-handed,
almost philosophically bipolar professor
argued with persuasion
about historically proven polarizing dangers
of this growing divide between rich
and poor,
within nations
and across international economies,
still-emerging gaps
and cracks
and fissures
between upper-middle stasis
and revolutionarily unrested lower-middle diastasis,
with an evaporating populist median,
midway,
Tipping cooperative values
against competing disvalued Points
between these antagonistic two;
forming One Great Transitioning Divide–
plutocratic predators and cooperatively-huddling prey.

But,
I also remember his frustration
about economic scholars
not having a robust theory
to explain why
financial and political history
tell this story
without apparent evolutionary reason,
or intent to survive,
much less co-invest
in mutual thrival,
perhaps revolutionary gospel revival
of trusts and truths DNA-democratically held
and savored.

He could not explain why
the Democratic Party
has made more cooperative multi-class creolizing sense
to worry about this growing bad climate
while the Republican Party
has made mere plutocratic competitive nonsense
to deny historic significance
of growing traumatic polarization
between Elites
and increasingly segregated,
and marginalized,
and criminalized
NonElites,
assumed to be worthy of God’s further retributive justice
so poorly earned
by our own uncompetitive powerlessness,
lack of divinely-inspired wealth
or fame
or influence.

As Taoists,
or any healthy bicameral-bilateral permacultural developers
of any creed or color,
organically committed to investing only in Win-Win NonZero-Sum Games,
toward polyculturing-creolizing health-wealth outcomes,
we can see why this growing hyphenated economic divide
presents a growing disparate survival trend
for living Earth,
as habitable by humane-divine nature,
and increasingly inhabitable first for swarms of angry NonElites
whose children are at growing risk of death
by drowning
or fire
or being ballistic blown
off this face
of Green-Blue synergetic MotherEarth.

We can see why restorative ecojustice
grows a healthier climate
than a retributive Elitist egojustice
of punishment through non-competitive NonElite neglect,
disinvestment.

Economic models of national
and cultural history questions
seldom ask,
Is it appropriate
to believe economic values and disvalues
have a reasonable option
to become informed by ecological values and disvalues
or to irresponsibly ignore them,
even deny them,
to ignore our intrinsic and intuitive health-wealth interdependence,
as if Earth’s regenerative values and creation laws
were somehow alien and NonElite
as compared to humane-divine investment values
and wealth-defensive laws.

Organic farmers and gardeners
and nondual philosophers
and metaphysicists
and ethologists
and ecologists,
cooperative evolutionists,
and all EarthMothers
know there can be no healthy economic choice for any ego’s investment
that is an anti-ecological monoculturing choice
against Earth’s basic cooperative-synergetic
healthy creolizing
regenerating nature.

Ours is not to compete with MotherNature
but to cooperate restoring justice and peace
within EarthMother Tribes and Species
asking better richer deeper wider bilateral questions
beyond the last and upcoming fiscal quarter,
beyond the last and upcoming four-year ecopolitical term,
beyond the last and upcoming forty years,
beyond the last and upcoming four hundred years.

Buckminster Fuller
and Jesus Christ
and LaoTse,
among others,
have all economically and politically observed
It is the role of a health-invested society
to restoratively facilitate
cooperative ecological development of individuals,
to make it easier to become polyculturing outcomed families,
multiculturing cooperatively-owned communities
and nations of ecological MedianExpanding Matriotism
in equivalent dialogue
with economically co-invested patriots of Earth.

I remember an economics class
when our question facilitator
of deep cooperative ecological understanding,
passionately reviewed emergent evidence
of richly creolizing populist cooperators
against monoculturing elitist bigotry
and retribution’s too wealth-invested prejudice,
as if humane-divine
nature-spirit
health-wealth integrity
were questions
other than DNA prepared
within our ecological EarthMother’s Womb.

Playing Old Maid

I recall a card game
probably extending back past the 1950s
called Old Maid.

There was also Authors
and a few other choices
less popular with me.
But Old Maid sticks in mind
as blatantly sexist
and ageist
and, for a country kid
in redneck rural Republican Michigan,
the most fun
of admittedly limited card playing options.

Whoever was stuck holding the Old Maid
at end of game
was the biggest loser,
for obvious reasons.

Who would want to be associated
with that old and useless appendage?

National politics in the U.S.,
all about the marketing, purchase, and sale
of two-year
and four-year terms of public greed responsibility,
increasingly reminds me
of OldMaid gamesmanship.

And, yes,
I don’t really mean gamepersonship.

This game for avoiding loss
of responsibility and authority,
loss of face
rather than gain of grace,
embracing mutual Wins
of shared commitment to health
and cooperatively prosperous safety,

This game in which the OldMaid
is played by aging fossil-fuel industries
played-out too often militarized
ballistic violence,

These OldMaid industrial choices
have most ballistically justified
plutocratic wars
inviting young,
and often most marginalized,
players
to live with losses to OldMaid political stuckness
in the name of patriotic duty,

Although not matriotic integrity
to our own healthy hands
for better Win-Win games
and political
and economic
and personal
and family therapy strategies,
less violently impinged by nationalistic traumas,
fear of losses
holding OldMaid over-industriously held cards.

No one wants to be in unlovely public office
when the last drop of oil
and last glistening gasp of gas
wears through now useless OldMaid pumps
and pistons,
unhappy triggers
and transdegenerational switches,
unlubricated OldMaid economic bitches.

No one wants to be in office
holding the last OldMaid dry-humped card
from a 1950s stacked deck
when 2020 revisions
change climate changing hands
into feminist story books
of how our generation
deliberately and stubbornly chose,
like stiff-necked self-chosen people
of OldMaids and PatriarchalMen,
counter-intuitively choosing the climate pathology card,
fascinated by our own death
and the death of our habitat
and the death of any future
of humane proportion and design,
rhythm and pattern.

When we have so many post-millennial cooperative Win-Win options
to actively hope
and act
and restoratively plan
and therapeutically draw climate health
for both ego and eco justice
and global peace for all,
including sacred Elder Matriotic Maids.

If only Old Feminist Maids and Matriotic Men
had written all required history
and civic lesson school books
and ecopolitical philosophy texts
and medicinal prescriptions
and legislated cooperative multicultural ethics
lesson plans
to practice
practice
practice
cooperation,

I wonder if having the Elder Matriot card
would have been how to win our Win-Win game,
and to do so,
would require letting go of all Old FakePatriot cards
of plutocratic,
and often patriarchal,
Lose-Lose economic-ecological exploitations,

Also post “ClimateChange”
known and named
as habitually competitive ClimatePathologies
longing to restore ClimateHealth.

Jesus Told Me

Jesus taught and lived
Those who follow the Way
Truth
Life, rather than punishing death,
would be known
by our love,
especially for our enemies.

He did not say, or live,
Those who punish themselves and others with death threats
and war planning
and technology design
and nihilistic absence of healthy purpose
would be TruthLivers
known as restorative peace-makers,
inheriting the Kingdom of God at hand.

For LaoTse
we are Way,
Truth,
Life known
by our Yang/Yin harmonic balance
with darkYin as antagonist of stubborn ignorance,
reflecting unkind outcomes of MotherEarth
and Her thunder and lightning Heavens
bringing cold winds of Yang-dominant terror
and warm flows of Yin-Yang wu-wei
in-between
Tipping Pointed selves as enemies
restoring peaceful balance,
within-egoYang,
as without-ecoYin.

To love your enemies
as yourself
is to actively seek restorative justice
peace-filled balance for all parties,
including anti-let’s-party! haters
and monoculturing weedish and prudish supremacists,
fundamentalists,
evangelists,
zealots,
terrorists,
slave-owners,
racists,
sexists,
homophobes,
missionary colonizers,
AntiSemitic
AntiCreolization
trauma-inducing predators and parasites,
and, Jesus’ favorite love to hate, Pharisees.

To be known by our love for enemies,
is to know our enemies as ourselves,
to love ourselves as both victimized protagonist
and antagonist,
provoking angry retributions,
fear-filled victims
of our own,
and our Elders,
violent misjudgments.

To love ourselves
within this heuristic balance,
doing our best
is to love our larger selves
as traumatizing enemy of love
and yet therapeutic lover of self-inflicted,
other-afflicting,
enemies.

Thich Nhat Hanh
shares a restorative council agenda
as anciently practiced in his Buddhist tradition.

Community facilitators
with unusual strengths for compassion,
begin by telling a personal story
of an event in their owned history
when they have known the shame of offending against love,
against active and integrative cooperation.

Then they apologize for this offense
against those assembled victims.
Atone for their lack of sufficient love,
trust,
faith.

Then, and only then, they invite victims
and offenders
to do as the facilitators have themselves mentored,
to tell their most recent shared story
of victims and offenses
against restoring cooperative love
within this community
of EarthTribe lovers.

For instance,
voting against universal health care giving and receiving
as a basic application of our multiculturally advocated
Golden Rule,
constitutionally protected
as pursuit of resident Welfare
and a more perfect Unity
(NOT fascist military-industrialized uniformity).

I try to picture what stories of restoration
facilitators would invite
if FirstNation CEOs
were to host a Peace Circle
with Christian Evangelical Missionaries
and Military-Industrial Generals,
grandsons of rifle-holders
for ecopolitically racist assumptions
of spiritual therefore naturally endowed
Manifest Destiny Supremacy,
and WhiteMan CEOs,
including grandsons of slave-holders
for HeavenlyMansion and Mammon Goals,
all WesternPatriarchal classroom read and propagandized
as Protagonists in a Western InterContinental Patriotic History of Love,
yet recognizing great-grandparents
in light of larger love’s Win-Win capacities,
now appear as repressive Retributional Antagonists,
rooted in fear and anger and hate,
not always so much trust and faith and justice,
for a polyculturing history
of love as ego-eco balance
between loving oneself
as both related to past Protagonists
and Antagonists
of Earth’s restorative peace
and therapeutic love
for Win-Win bilateral justice.

It is in our most vulnerable shame
for lapses in co-passionate love
that we are most likely to therapeutically recover
shared memories of blame,
and active hope to restore love’s balance
more polypathically inclusive next time.

This rhetorical agenda,
for mentoring facilitators,
is their second-mile walk,
their turning of violently struck both cheeks,
their opportunity to offer a time of personal shame
to open double-binding gates
of collective Lose-Lose blame
and it’s ecological apposition,
Win-Win restorative cooperation
of active Love.

Golden Rules
to do as you would have done justice
and not do and judge
as you could not not do without greater co-passion,
active love for Win-Win restoration
of peace councils,
internal and external,
practiced best each moment
of each grace-filling balanced karma day.

Willing and able to see oneself,
and one’s extended family,
as both sacred protagonists
and sinner antagonists
of co-evolving historic love,
fulfilled in HereNow potential health integrity
of each moment’s Sacred EarthRestoring Wisdom.

Jesus taught and lived
Those who follow this ReStorative Way
Truth
Life, rather than punishing death,
would be known
by our love,
especially for our enemies,
within egos
and without eco-conscious balance.

Let Us Speak Clearly Together

Let me speak clearly with you
dear religious and atheist Trumpians,

A fool in executive office
is a leader
only in foolish directions.

A rich thief
is the worst thief
as survival motives
are absent,
so self-thrival motives
remain piratically rampant.

An intellectual prostitute
to feel-good politics
is an ecopolitical whore,
competing for economic gain
after self-deluding blinders to ego’s mortality
are in place,
no healthier options for right livelihood
are currently in RealTime fake-space.

Perpetual reinvestment
in racing automated death machines
is not investment in peace.

Health is not purchased
by selling out your habitat’s
most nutritionally valuable assets.

Economic policy
at the bought-and-paid-for bidding
of bottom-line moneytaker corporations
is WinOrLose Evolutionary Political Science
reduced to its most cynical
monoculturing market value;
A political prostitution of mindbodies,
as are smoke-filling climate pathology backrooms
that call LoseInvestment To LoseInfestment
anti-ecological economic degenerative denialism
as if patriotic “manifest sacred EmpireBuilding destiny.”

Cowardice and mendacity
reduce healthcare giving and receiving optimization values
in bad religious or atheistic faith
believing this denialist-nihilist direction
is HellFire retributive EarthJustice inevitable.

While refusing to notice
this inevitability
assumes cowards
invest in supremacist assumptions
about small ego-centric
anthro-centric
manifest destiny,

Whether manifest by sacred scripture
or patriarchal WesternWhite Supremacists,
fools and prostitutes
thwarting internal capacities
to read with RightBrain Hearts,
threatened most by your own violent absence
of integrity.

Mendacity against Earth’s multiculturing Peace,
against restoring economically cooperative justice,
and calling out against sacred co-redemption
for all species
still trying to breathe our best
therapies without trauma.

I believe issues of monoculturing ego-identity
mostly suffer from not being polyculturally envisioned enough.

Healthy PeaceCircle PermaCultural Design
co-mentors thought
and notice
and co-witnessing without
LeftBrain dominant preoccupations
and addiction
to violent machines of death
fueled by releasing toxins
into Sacred MotherEarth’s breath,
and metaphysically sacred womb.

I believe colonization
retributively pre-judges
and condemns,
represses
suppresses
depresses
overly impresses colonizer missionary zeal
against FirstNation and aboriginal forms and functions
of restorative justice principles shared
sacred reconciliatory nature-spirituality,
as if reconciliation cooperative economics
and Win-Win politics
were not also formed and functioned
as sacred grace
of God’s PolyCulturing EarthLove.

PermaCulturing ReStorational Design
provides a conceptual Win-Win framework
to ecologically affirm,
creolize,
Left-Right Brain synergize,
bilaterally co-legitimate
what remains good
and democratically healthy
still optimizes sacred ecological wealth
at today’s leading edge
of postmillennial restoring
permaculture design peace circles,
extended cooperative family
group Win-Win co-redemption conferences,
adaptations
evolutions
revolutions
predicting great transitional climate ecojustice
familiar sacred vocations to and with all species
as our DNA-RNA Solidarity
Traditional EcoPolitical
PlanetExtinction Survival Way,

CoOperatively owned
and co-invested
and co-redemptive
Win-Win Whole MultiCulturing Group co-managed.

I believe transitional ecojustice
both follows pathology and precedes growing health,
large scale nutritional Left-Right ego-eco dominant conflicts
andLeftBrain dominant anthro-centric overshoot
of balancing Western dualistic SacredWords of Grace
with Eastern nondualist
bilateral and polypathic
Gaian-Principled Karma.

Our global vocation
is to end our addiction to
“dire machines
that run by burning
the world’s body
and its breath.”
(Wendell Berry)

But, more happily,
we are also EarthTribes
of and for Restorative PermaCultural EcoJustice
Design and Therapy
growing polycultural economics of slow health growth
rooted in Traditional cooperative Win-Win thrift,
taking care of health and peace for all Earth’s creatures,
not so much the anti-integrity
reductive Win-Lose theft
from our own Future’s
most likely vulnerable losers,
children with cooperative gifts
for matriotic peace wombs-to-rebirthing circles
and not so much mere mendaciously patriarchally-owned
ballistic death machinations
toward Lose-Lose enslavement
to further retributively dominant injustice
and criminalizing war-mongering,

Steering clear of anti-ecological waste
and ruin
and anti-intellectual copouts;
Especially those choosing between LeftBrain reason
and RightBrain sacred inductive mystery,

between restorative ecopolitics
and sacred ecology,

As if the God of LeftBrain Space
is not also the GaiaGoddess of BiLateral RightBrain Timeless-Time,
together having created
double-binding distinctions
with only a nondual-dark Zero-Soul absence of difference
between where we have come from permaculturally
and where we originally intended to go
polyculturally polypathic
polynomially balanced

Healing Sciences and Sacred Arts

The Golden Rule,
like Permaculture Design,
teaches we all deserve
the restorative grace we need,
whether victim or predator of innocence
as we can each empathize
with those harmed
and with egocentric predators;
both written across our own
therapeutic live
and pathology of evil
potentiating hearts.

Cosmology
dwells within sacred ecological wisdom.
Experience of our internal-external relationships Universe
where forms of together Here
grace functions of therapeutic Now,
filling each loving and lovely heart and mind
and body with ethical sensory capacities
to restoratively engage both our secular Left deductive
and SacredRight inductive mind
and hearts with cooperative bicameral consciousness
of dissonance within this Universe of conscious confluence.

Religious history
invites us to release
fake-evangelical fundamentals
choosing monoculturing rather than polyculturing goals
among available anthro-centric dualistic choices
not benignly written evenly across our own Left-Right sacred health
optimization of internal-external ecopolitics
through cooperative co-redemptive development
of God’s egalitarian Grace,
of restorative internal justice as also ecosystemic peace
for and within all SacredEarth.

Universal Beauty and Truth and Trust
live within spectral senses.
Ugly and Deceit and Hate
turn nonsenses toward anti-senses
of each sacred ecological beholder.

What science separates to investigate,
solidarity of art with integrating artist,
Creation with Creator and ReCreators,
restores balancing nondual integrity together,
co-arising deeper and wider emergence

Beauty balancing Earth’s sacred interdependent morality
with LeftBrain Truths and Trusts
of health as Win-Win designed
and planned
and cooperatively implemented creolization
of feeling and thought and language,
and pathology of suboptimizing Win-lose,
and anti-health as predative colonizing Lose-Lose,
scientifically accessible
for further exploration
of creolizing polypathic artistic solidarity
with interdependent ethics gracing personal-political aesthetics
of humane-divine Universals,
Zero-Sum
Win-Win
co-arising
primal relationship
of scientific integrity
with further aesthetic Beauty potential

Double-binding charm,
elegance of solidarity
as unitive balance
without settling for static uniformity
of thought
and feeling
and culture
and language.

Our Polycultural Golden Rule,
like Permaculture Design
and Restorative Arts and Sciences
teach us we all deserve
the co-arising Grace we need.
