Constitutional Rights and Wrongs

An attorney friend of mine once said,
We have two opposing views
of the hows and whys of law and time and natural evolution,
including natural law,
and including U.S. Constitutional Law.

One assumes both natural and spiritual nondual legal obligations
to invite and respond to the friends of our allies
as our potentially cooperative friends,
unless proven to be too contrary,
competitive WinLose.

This is the type of lawyer,
and parent,
and friend,
and fellow-resident of Earth,
neighbor,
democratically multicultural-is-positive voter,
I intend to become
with every breath both Yang-out deductive of Yin-inductive-concave,
with every heartbeat both Yang-flow out toward diastatic climax
and Yin reverse toward aptic-static
to begin again,
with every day and nightmare,
with ever week and month and year
of this,
our Positive PolyPathic Ground
and Air and Fire and Water of Becoming
CoRevolutionaries of Moral Secular/Sacred
ReGenerative EgoHealth/EcoWealth
Yang/Yin EcoPolitical Integrity
nondual
co-arising…

Then there are my more amusing, and sometimes terrifyingly unwell, BusinessAsUsual WinLose LeftBrain Dominant types
of lawyers
and parents
and voters,

The enemy of my friends
is probably also my competing ecopolitical enemy,
therefore I shall play
Mutually Assured LoseLose Condemning Belittling Bullying Destruction,
perhaps by aiming first at Islamic NationStates
owning oil and civil and climate unrest.

We shall assume WinLose normative legal ethics
and yet also RightBrain remembers this assumption’s ecological conclusion
is most nihilistically, merely secularly,
reductively, merely naturally,
to Lose sacred dignity of both life and death,
to become a merely entropic dissonant future
absence of health and safety regeneration.

Despite this understory of irritating belief-faith dissonance,
I choose LoseLose Mutual Destruction
perhaps because no one sufficiently mentored
what it could promise to continue cooperatively within our larger
WinWin Earth HealthAsWealth Herstoric Narrative
about how to act and speak and design and plan and game for

and imperatively

My Legal Counselor said,
Mother Earth is my healthiest and most nutritiously balanced
most functionally organic-cooperative
LegalAid EcoFeminist Doctor of Natural/Moral Constitutional ReGenerative Law
and Executive Orders,
about friends of friends as friends WinWin assumptions,
he himself both naturally and spiritually
emerged from,
and of,
and for,
and with,
and toward.

I so wish he had run for CoOperative President
of Mutually ReAssuring ReGenerative Health and ReProducing WinWin Safety,
committed to enforcing a Constitutional Law
most nutritiously and organically rooted in WinWin-only choice-making,
assuming friends of friends are friends,
rather than more of the same old
I’m Not Listening!
because I can’t stop talking about my FearMongering ParanoidEgo SelfIdentity,
so I’m issuing this memo from
ME: CEO of These United WinLose Corporations
TO: All bicamerally functional WinWin Civil Servants,
constitutionally self-identifying your LeftEgo/RightEco consciousness
for optimizing health and safety cooperative investment futures:

Always assume the enemies of all our allies,
(and I might be SuperPatriotically sure that our
‘Allies’ probably are quickly becoming a set of None, Zero,…
I’m feeling really conflicted about WinLose economics v politics
within our NATO strategy–
more logical to go WinLose separatist-fascist)…
As I was LeftBrain saying,
Always assume WinLose strategic competition is best for health and safety outcomes,
rather than continuing with the Constitutional
Evolutionary Historical Evidence
supporting a more organic Network of InterDependent CoOperation
toward One HealthySacred Body of ReGenerativity,
and away from DeGenerate Supremacies of State
WinLose Disempowerment of Liberty for All.

I suspect those more WinLeft BothAnding WinRight optimized
toward Ego/Eco Balancing patriotic civil service,
not uncivil disservice,
will have constitutional issues
with how such WinLose Assumptions of Mutual Destruction
resonates with US Constitutions
of Original WinWin EcoPolitical CoOperative Intent,
that friends of friends are also WinWin assuming and inviting friends
in NonDualist Enlightenment,
both West and East Philosophical
about ThermoDynamics of EcoPolitical YangConserving/YinProgressing
Nurturing-Integrity of Health and Safety Global thru Universal Intent.

May BioSystemic-ReGenerative EarthHearts forgive my friend,
the WinWin EcoTherapeutic Attorney
and Parent
and Voter as Breather and BiCameral Heart-Beater,
for not having spoken
as resonantly as he positive-health polypathically practiced
resolved
regenerated
reproduced these thoughts with feelings of co-empathic well-being.

Are we here to help each other toward more cooperatively healthy-regenerative lives?
Or do we still WinLose compete to persuade each other of why we cannot all WinWin together,
which is why we originally came to each other
to figure out how to do.

Will you only tell me why I EitherOr can’t;
or also add why we BothAnd could regenerate Earth’s Constitutional Beloved Community future?

God as Brown as an Egg

If God is EggWhite
then Tao is His embryonic EarthYolk.

Why would you say such a confusing and silly thing?

What is the difference between a Paradise Tree of Life and Death
and a Great Chain of Being?

Is this a change of subject or are you answering my question with another confusing and silly question?

Easier question:
How are a ReGenerating Tree of HealthyLife then PathologicalDeath
and a Healthy ReCycling-ReProducing Organic MultiGenerational Chain of Being
similar?

If God is a Western ReGenerating/Degenerating Tree,
and Tao is an Eastern ReProducing/Unraveling Chain and Ground of (0)-Balancing organic health/pathology becoming,
then we might both Tree and ReChain Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s empowering philosophy experience,

“I had perceived everything to be [regeneratively/degeneratively] radically connected
with [economic-ecological] politics,
and that, upon whatever [nutrition/toxin] principles these were [cooperatively/competitively] founded,
a people would never be more than that which the [ecosystemic] nature
of the [ego-self and Earth-other] government [inductively, more than solely deductively] made them.”

Both Western dualist divide of nature from spirit,
and Eastern cooperative nondual co-arising nature-enspiriting political philosophy
portray The EcoPolitical Moral Order
through evolutionary and revolutionary WinWin both-and metaphors;
essentially contending with the double-bind appositional primal relationship
of cooperation OVER and/or UNDER
BEFORE and/or AFTER,
the WinWin-Yang v LoseLose Yin-understory of
EcoPolitical Elite LeftBrain-Secular
and RightBrain-Sacred NonElite bilateral integrity,
like life and death,
light and dualdark,
positive and double-binding notnot ambivalently pos/negative,
competitively oppositional deductions and cooperative appositional inductions.
ConVex with ConCave,
Yang with YinYin, etc…

George Lakoff’s “Political Mind”
implies cooperative with competitive economy of bicameral nurturing flow powers,
the temporal ecologic of our God as Tao-given Morally Helpful Order
(and not so much condemning disorder).

“…since we owe every [regenerative-health evolving] thing we are–our very existence–to the workings of [Earth’s] nature, nature is seen [by bicameral balancing ecopolitical minds] as [regenerative-health] moral.”
And yet, also both-and ecologically,
degeneratively pathological
as absence of sufficiently nutritional moral-normative
co-arising nondual
self-as-part-of-Other governing dynamic organic balance.

Just as God’s Tree of Life
includes Ego’s Death,
just as Tao’s Organic Chain of Earth’s ReProductive-Evolving Health
includes Ego’s DeGeneration-Devolution of self-centering supremacy,
so too our Moral Order of history
includes both “natural hierarchies of [LeftBrain] power emerge”
and unbalanced dissonant RightBrain disempowerment continues Earth’s premillennial creation story of matriarchal NonElite repression.

Lakoff continues,
“According to the [eco]logic of the [regenerative/degenerative] metaphor,
to find out who is most [cooperatively Left-Win/Right-Win] moral,
look at who has been, over history
[but also within matriarchal embryonic understory]
most [Ego/EcoConscious] powerful in the [LeftBrain YangDominant] hierarchy.

From here,
Lakoff illustrates spatial-moral order metaphors of supremacy over subjects,
ecopolitical Elites over NonElites,
the Elite of nature’s endowment
in more empowered contrast to their lower-tiered NonElite.

We begin to see some ahistorical,
anti-ecological
temporal before-after
cause-effect reversal issues
about who and what came first,
then causally-regeneratively/degeneratively second,
in our Moral WinWin Tree-OrganicChain Order.

In our Western Tree of Life and Death,
God rules ProGenitor before and, therefore, above,
DNA-scripted regenerative biosystems.
But, in our nondual co-arising Eastern Organic Chain,
human bicameral Yang/Yin nature
co-evolves with and as Tao’s regenerate/degenerate ecological
RedYolk/BlueEmbryonic integrative nurture-resonant balance.

In Western Moral Patriarchal Order,
HumanNature is more sacredly above,
yet not historically-naturally before Earth’s MultiCulturing Natures.
In Tao’s Moral ReGenerate/DeGenerate Order,
Earth’s RNA-scripted Nature
nutritionally-organically predicts and precedes
and evokes and invites ecological healthy DNA climate precedence
toward bicamerally balancing Humane/Divine nondual Nature.

In Western Patriarchal power hierarchies deduced-reduced from above
as Moral Order,
Adults are above Children,
yet Tao Matriarchal/Patriarchal double-bind appositional nutritional empowerment of Both-And as WinWin
cautions us
to not loselose touch with historical-temporal facts.
We were all RightBrain dominant infants
and more Left/Right Patriarch/Matriarch balancing prepubescent children
before we became EgoDominant deductivists,
and RightBrain repressing eco-inductive nurturing adults.

Western God-YHWH-Allah Cultures claim ecopolitical competitive supremacy over and above
NonWestern too-cooperativist cultures.
Yet God has become, for some,
the Supreme WinLose Condemning LeftBrain Dominant personification
of nondual co-arising Tao’s bilaterally cooperative
PatriarchalSecular/MatriarchalSacred Earth HealthWealth Optimization Landscape.

Where Conservative Fundamentalist residents
of USA-RedDominant
place these Uniting States above other Nations,
a more cooperative WinWin regenerative view of muticulturing history
might more humbly remember
this USA is a mere adolescent among Elder Regenerating ecosystemic Cultures,
West/East,
Ego/EcoLogical,
ReGenerating HealthWealth WinWin Evolution more cooperatively than not
not DeGenerating Pathological Devolution
of immoral Patriarchal-YangDominant disorders.

BrownEgged Tao is older than God,
so it seems inappropriate to consider ourselves ecopolitically USA Conservative LeftBrain deductive dominantly and morally
and historically,
sacredly and naturally correct,
to competitively divide Earth
as Elite Christians.

When Natural Houses Are Safe Homes

Which is more important to you
natural beauty
or spiritual truth?

I guess I didn’t notice any difference.

Maybe there isn’t.
Which is more important to you
an aesthetically rich and bountiful house
or a safe home?

You realize that’s not necessarily the same question.
An aesthetically optimal house
may or may not be a type of natural beauty,
depending on whether my habitat is primally within Earth’s beauty,
or divorced from this OverSoul CoMentoring Source
of yintegral grace and flow,
by virtue of embryonic matriarchal exodus
from my Original nutritionally abundant,
diastatic
Beloved Safe Home,
which, yes,
is a spiritual truth,
or at least must have seemed like transubstantiating reincarnating enspirited struggle at the climax time
of Ego Matriarchal/Patriarchal Imprint,
when Left EgoPatriarchal/Matriarchal was not yet differentiated
from Original Ecological Matriarchal Nutrition CoOperative
Economy, of and for EcoPolitical Empowerment,
within my new aesthetically developing natural polypathic beauty
and permacultural design,
my Ego’s Safe Home OverSoul.

I think you just said that my second question could be different than my first,
but that in your particular situation,
it is not,
and therefore you do not see a difference worthy of further notice?

Well, yes, I did say that.
But I hope I also said
that anyone born of a healthy nurturing mother
might also see their EarthTribe of ReGenerative Gaia
prodigal polypathic integrity potential in this Yang/Yin,
Ego/Eco Way.

Might thereby more easily recognize,
as children,
Earth as ReGenerative Goddess Gaia,
safe spiritual home,
aesthetically natural integrity of beauty with healthy, robust, fertile goodness,
secular if you insist on being LeftBrain dominant about it,
yet, either way,
any way you choose to share our interdependent journey,
WinWin ecopolitics
is both an economically spiritual ecology win of truth,
and a natural
cooperative
regenerative prime-matriarchal
nurturing
politically robust relationships win of eroticLeft-agapicRight
Integrity of BeauteousTruth.

Shouldn’t that be True Beauty?

Only if you’re LeftBrain Dominant.

Oh.
What were we speaking of again?

Don’t you mean
what were you talking about?

Probably both.

Now you’re getting the hang of it!

More like the bilateral swing of it.

Right.
An the spiraling-fractal DNA fertile healthy-wealth of it.

There you go.
Now you’ve really said it.

What?

What we were talking about.

Right.
Which is more important
beauty or truth?

Didn’t Plato already cover that?

Probably, but you wouldn’t get away with a dualist assumption so easily
back in the prior millennium,
before LeftBrain dominance matures enough
for our minds and bodies to speak out of two different sides of our mouths
about conserving short-term ego identity health and beauty
and progressing longer-term regenerative
eco-logically robust
deep learning wealth of truth.

So, short-term beauty win outcomes
are also long-term true-win ecosystemic health outcomes?

I think this is a more important question
than the one that assumed they were different.
But, I wonder if beauty wins as beauty does outcomes
are also rooted in long-term climate health incomes
for ReGenerative Virgin
0-Soul Empty
BiCameral PolyPathic Goddess Gaia,
icon of Mother’s Nutritional CoOperative Network.

The good old Golden Rule days.

For the well-fed and nurtured;
not yet for all,
and I believe humanity is teetering on the downside
of that future climate of health and safety trend.

Don’t blame me.

If our climate health were a matter of assigning blame
to move on toward ecotherapy,
then surely there is enough blame to be shared by all.
But, it remains my integrity of faith and hope and love
that blame is riskier
than cooperative responsibility
to co-mentor health’s authoritative
nature-spirit
beautyEgo-wiseEco
joint ecology of mutually subsidiary authority,
reverse hierarchical matriarchal cooperative networks
for further graceful
flowing
nature-beauty spirits.

Biconceptually Healthy Political Climates

With Julian Jaynes
we find an egocentric languaged LeftBrain
developing reasons to sacredly love our healthy RightBrain inductive-integrative SacredPower feelings of Earth’s co-relationship with LeftBrain’s Self-ReGenerating Identity
of BiCameral Ego/Eco-Consciousness.

Later on in the evolution of Positive Psychology,
we find Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
with competitive egocentric dominance
too often ecopolitically suppressing RightBrain flow of integratively abundant,
healthy as also wealthy,
regenerative more than degenerative Positive/Negative Psychology.

Then we come to George Lakoff’s concept of economic and political “BiConceptualism”
which also dynamically evolves nondual co-arising bi-consciousness
of ego-conservationing eco-progressive flow:

“If you have a single, all-encompassing worldview, you use the same basic [healthy bio/ecological systemic] values all the time. It’s easier to be a total conservative or [and] a total progressive [through bicamerally mature-regenerative, confluent rather than dissonant, integrative Left/Right development].”

“But given a human brain,
it can be almost as easy to be biconceptual–
except that moral contradictions do occur
and resolving them does take work by the [cognitive dissonant] brain,
in particular the ventromedial prefrontal cortex [which is the same struggling with/against place Julian Jaynes identifies with reiterative empathic/antipathic maturational evolving of bicameral ego-humanLeft with sacred-ecological Elder Right nurture-systemic-flow consciousness].”

“Biconceptualism is made possible by the [bicameral] brain. First, there is mutual inhibition [either-or messages of mistrust, mutual immunity],
which permits conflicting [cognitive-affective dissonant] modes of thought,
but only one at a time.
Second, there is the difference between general modes of [deductive-Left vertical-hierarchical] thought
versus the special cases [of experiential-affective exegetical memetic bilateral memory RightBrain analogical-ecological trust/mistrust/distrust climates of regenerative/degenerative bicameral fertile-health flow].
Neural[double] binding is the [bio/ecosystemic] mechanism for applying a general [paradigmatic] mode [gestalt] of thought to a special [Left-Right enduringly dissonant rather than resonantly confluent] case, say,
applying general conservatism to health care [as ego-reassurance insurance], or applying general progressivism to global warming [also about climates of health care].”

“In many cases the [network double-] bindings are long-term or [exegetically bicameral-confluent] permanent,
sometimes they are short-term and may [eisegetically, heuristically] change [float, flow back and forth, ebb and flow between conservational EgoLeft and
progressive-integrity EcoRight].
Someone who starts out being a [Yang] conservative on [powering-over] an issue may change;
that is, the neural [double] bindings from the conservative mode of thought to the details of the issue
may be [revolutioned appositional] replaced
by neural [double]bindings from progressive [Yin-integral nutritional transliterative] thought to the same [ecological health-fertile v pathology-virginal-sacred empty (0)-Core-Source-Sum-SoulFlow] issue [within each nonlanguaged timeless right-now co-present moment of bicameral (0)-HealthBalance Consciousness].”

“The two worldviews are modes of reasoning [and empathic/antipathic feeling],
sometimes [heuristic languaged] conscious,
most often unconscious [unlanguaged empathic trust in maturing EgoTruth as Health-MultiCulturing PolyPathic Tradition].
They are general,
above and across [paradigmatic regenerative-Positive network] issue areas.
General conservative [yang ego-WinLose survivalist dominant] reasoning
and general [Yintegral eco-empathic therapeutic wealth-optimizing flow] progressive reasoning can occur on any health v pathology issue–
in economic [health] policy,
in foreign [political health] policy,
on the [healthy or not so much] environment,
about social [health] programs,
about [health and healthy] education
and [finally] health care,
about [healthy biconceptual NatureLeftDominantYang-SpiritRightYintegral eco-bilateral co-arising systemic] religion,
and so on.”

“Can there be authoritarian progressives [YangLeft-YinRight multiculturally-formed and polypathically-functional mature, regenerative absorbing degenerative subclimates]?
In a word. yes.
One reason is that [phylogenic formative Yang] means and [nutritional-ecological Yintegrity] ends can function as different [regenerative health] domains [hemispheres] of experience.
Thus one can have [health-wealth] progressive ends but [Yang LeftDominant] authoritarian conservative means.
One can even, in the extreme, be an authoritarian [yang-patriarchal hierarchical competitive power-over] antiauthoritarian [yin-matriarchal cooperative flow multiculturing nutritional intent].
Imagine someone who runs an advocacy [climate regenerative health] group that is antiauthoritarian [pro from-below nutritional responsibility for/with integrative flow co-arising nondual empowerment] in its [ecopolitical nutritional polypathic multiculturing climate health] goals,
but runs the group itself in an authoritarian [from-above supremacist LeftBrain EgoDominant] way.
Certain union [and faith and health and economic and political] leaders may be hierarchical and punitive in their [Yang LeftBrain dominant] methods,
but [cooperative] progressive in their [regenerative health co-empathic] aims….
There is a name for people with progressive goals and conservative authoritarian [Yang-exegetical (yintegrity-repressed] means: militants!”

[rather than multicultural,
nurturing self-with-other cooperative co-redemptive WinWin empowering,
co-empathic trusting,
co-mentoring bodhisattva
bicameral polypathic advocates;
more Right-embryonically and yet less Left-egocentrically
midway in-between wu wei
bicameral seen and heard and smelled and sensed and loved and traveled.]

Routine Rituals

Routine.
New Year
yet the same ritualistic routines,
absent their blissfully celebrating roots
buried in more fertile loves and hope-filled times
and might have beens
if not for this today
with these people
on this sacred nurturing Goddess Earth,

Still making more or less nice with FireGod Sun,
whom some experience more condemning and unkind nature,
while others as more enlightened to be helpful spirit,
even kind with manna as Vitamin D
feeding DNA’s further interdependently co-arising potential.

Routine and ritual,
multitasking and acclimating ecosystems,
yang-digesting and yin-nurturing biosystems,
consuming economic PowerOver Ego
and producing Ta(0)Systemic ReGenerativity,

Routine
both feeding us regenerative health and nurturance
but also bleeding us of fully invested interest in right now,
where we are,
with whom,
and why
and why notnot could be polypathically otherwise.

Routine, like ritual,
piety, like patriotism,
both feeds us nutrients from Earth’s sacred Creation Stories,
but also bleeds us of cooperative co-investment
within this radically democratic ecological climate,
sometimes degenerative,
cognitive-affective antipathies,
LeftBrain enculturing dominance
noticing, not quite too soon,

both distracting from better celebrations elsewhere
and attracting more celebratory rituals
for more abundant EarthFlows
of sacred karmic grace
so democratically accessible,
these icons of nature’s kindness
right/left outside our doors
and LeftBrain dominant walls.

Our routines are internal celebrations
expressing gratitude with wonder and awe,
open ecoconsciousness as co-empathic,
celebrating this opportunity
this day
this life
this eternal (0) now sacred moment
of Yang opportunity
through Yintegral wisdom’s Earth nurturance,
this PricklyPolitical/EcoGooey moment (Alan Watts)
of climate pathology messages
regarding climate health ecotherapeutic vocational opportunities
accessible right here,
right now,
with the people and plants
we each intentionally share our nurturing lives with
for mutually regenerative health
extending on out to alien wierdo folks
who seem totally clueless,
and yet our co-empathic ecopolitical challenge
to rediscover all creatures prefer cooperative Golden Rules
predicting WinWin evolutioning strategies
over LeftBrain’s egocentric supremacist monoculturing need
to always have the last word,
about everything and everyone on Earth,
yet blind to Ego’s forest of deep learning opportunities
for the stumbling blocks of anthrocentric plutocratic family trees.

Routine, like ritual,
Piety, like polypathic eco-empathic celebrations,
Singing, like dancing,
Speaking, like acting
as if we might care to hear and actually watch out for each other,
both feed our celebrations
and bleed our LeftBrain purgations
of routines reified of reweaving rituals
of deep revolving fertile healthwealth

remembering embryonic Matriarchal Nutrition Stories

dualdark co-gravities,
double-binding timeless now experience

rituals of sacred celebration
surging within Earth’s abundant

The Taoist Stands Up

So, yes, I’m a Taoist
A lotta’ people ask me about what that means,
to be a Taoist.

And, I usually ask
What do you mean,
what does it mean?
Who said it was supposed to mean anything,
or even everything?
You must be a notnot Taoist,
everything’s supposed to mean something.

Well, you’re always goin’ on about the bad-boy nihilists
and their WinLose economic and political games
of climate pathology
as if this is more dissonant noise,
so I guess I figured,
if you’re against nihilism,
then you have to be for some meaning or purpose,
maybe even some grand polypathically inclusive design,
ecologically sustainable repurpose,
who knows?
But, you know, something…
and not just nothing.

Oh, sorry.
I think you meant to ask me what I am for.
If you recall,
you asked what does it mean to be a Taoist,
originally
Yes?

Well, if you’re a Taoist,
and that means not a nihilist,
then aren’t those two ways of asking the same question
of your existential meaning?

Oh, Lord, I hope not!
Taoism is about as existential
as high school math is ecologically organic.

I’m not sure I follow either half of those organic chemistry equations,
but anyway,
are you avoiding my curiosity question?

Oh no!
Sorry,
yes, the question about what does it mean to me to be a Taoist?
Well, that’s the tricky wu-wei part,
there are an infinite number of ways I might define this (0)-soul
revolutionary-integrative-unitarian-syncretic-consilient-synergetic pie,
but, essentially,
if you realize that to become a Taoist
also means to notnot be a LeftBrain DominatingYang AntiEarth Taoist,
then you begin to RightBrain get the economic and political,
as ecological
and nutritional
and healthy
and climate health
and creation story of YangSpaceLeft/YinTimeRight
EcoBalancing Tao (0)’s SpaceTime
for a better Revolutionary TransMillennial History of Health Conjecture.

OK, there for a minute you had me,
but I still get hung up on the co-arising nondual ecosystemic geometry of zeroism stuff,
not to mention the equivalent resonance of Group with Game Theory.

Not to worry.
If any of that is important toward your own polypath,
then it’s also notnot ego/eco-balancing,
LeftYang with Elder Right Yintegral.
We’re all on the same DNA/RNA multiculturing
as polyculturingly nutritional evolutionary journey.

Well, no, I mean I’m not intending to necessarily join your Taoist Tribe.

That is fortunate,
as I’m sure you are much too busy
in your own notnot Taoist Left-Right climate health journey.
Hope everything zero-sum balances out for you,
sooner,
rather than more climate pathology later.

Complexities of Consciousness

Herein, the evolutionary positive psychologist’s voice is that of C,
leaning sometimes toward the yang-ego identity side,
while the evolutionary ecopolitician’s voice,
doing his best to play WinWin ecotherapist, is D.

C: The best way to live is by learning to control [Ego-Left] consciousness
D: by also deep learning to ecologically extend RightBrain flowing ecoconsciousness.

To do so, evolution,
whether personal or political larger stage,
cultivates certain permacultural-multicultural nurturing skills.

C: Ego acquires a discipline that at first may seem like mindless ritual
D: to acquire integrative flow,
at first feeling too mindfully rich with interdependently intuited trusting truths,
senses,
expressions,
analogies,
nutritional potential,
vibrancy,
buoyancy,
bliss,
even manic loss of clear-cut identity boundaries.

But, together, these Yang-Left with Yin-Right conversations,
ecological health discernments,
slow-grow integrative deductive-vertical
and inductive-bilateral
spiraling revolutionary flow
with our universal-Yang/Yintegral unitarian order;
where Yang is to universal patriotic political wealth
as Yin integrates unitarian matriotic nutritional health-flow.

C: Unless a person learns to control [Left-Right Balancing therapeutic] consciousness,
he or she cannot achieve harmony with the cosmos,
but will forever remain prey
to the random forces of biology and society.
D: And,
as we all ecologically learn to both control and communicate
LeftYang/RightYintegral harmonic ego/eco-consciousness,
Earth will continue evolving toward diastatic ecological harmony
within our shared interdependent deductive/inductive climate flow,
but will remain LeftBrain dominantly vulnerable to co-arising nondual coincidental pathological faces
of Business As Competitively Usual
economics and political divestment of sustained health relational time,
and, oh yes, money.

C: Nor will we know how to direct evolution toward greater complexity
unless our [ego] consciousness becomes more complex.
D: Nor will we polypathically know how to co-mentor multiculturing evolution
toward greater regenerativity
unless our ego/eco-conscious energetic balance
becomes more integratively extended.

C: What makes us different from other animal species
is the variety and mutual dependence of our psychic processes.
D: And
what makes us polypathically and ecologically similar
to other primates
is this same integrative-symbiotic variety
and multiculturing interdependence
of newer deductive/reductive Left-Yang patriarchal dominance
emerging from Elder Right’s matriarchally embryonic nurturance.

C: Evolution is the [deductively rewarded] history
of the complexity of living matter.
D: And, EarthTribe’s revolutions, within evolution,
are the inductively integrative matriarchally nurtured regenerativity
of ecologically extending families,
networks,
ecosystems destined for multigenerational Paradise,
predestined by embryonic DNA/RNA solidarity
of reweaving healthy wealth memories;
time as light’s fertility
with dualdark aptic-integrative hibernation,
in-between,
MidWay dancing wu-wei CoMentors.

C: We cannot easily advocate a certain preference for complexity,
or relinquish our [ego] responsibility for helping evolution along
D: by seizing our regenerative ego/eco-conscious cooperative opportunities,
investing our eco-integrative RightBrain invitations
to co-mentor multiculturing polypathy along.

 

Statements by C are drawn from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, as is the title of this piece, pp 169-170,The Evolving Self: A Psychology for the Third Millennium, 1993. With deep ecological appreciation.

The Daily Show and Tell

Dear Toni,

I saw you on The Daily Show
the other day
having your way
with Trevor,
or was it the other way around?
Not sure.

I’m also not sure where we first went wrong,
but I’m sorry for once having thought you my dumb blonde beauty.
Clearly this is not who you are
as you continue to play our family’s conservative version
of Twinkle Twinkle Patriotic Star
and Patriarchal Stripes,
Flags and National Anthems.

Slow as deep rich Honey,
if you wrap yourself any tighter
in our conservatively-speaking at-risk Patriotic Flag,
I worry you might not breathe health both in and out
for long-term regenerativity.

I began hearing you as not just narcissistic
and uncaring about the health and security of my Galveston grandkids,
not to mention our whole extended family
of white male and female children
along coastal Texas over the next 100 years,
but sometimes I think you still confuse healthy conservatism,
which goes way back in our matriarchal nurturing days and ways,
with what sounds more like nihilistic condemnation
of any regeneratively humane future
for economic and politically empowering ecological health,
nondually co-arising like Grandmother Moon
and Gaia Earth,
who gave birth to matriarchally conservative nurturing me,
and therefore also still organically conserving biosystemic you,
my honey sweet smart girl.

I wish you had spent less time defending your right to freely express your mind and feelings,
which, indeed, brother Trevor was not contesting,
so you could have spent more time sharing your mindfulness
about our healthy and secure future,
which continues to be at degenerative risk
by further white male plutocratic domination,
as if patriotically Christian and Enlightenment
ForeFathers would have wished to see
my grandkids moving from Galveston,
toward Houston,
our future frontier of new-coastal engulfing waters.

Setting aside your distaste for all things Progressive-Futuristic,
including the vastly dusty tomes of academically orthodox science
and LeftBrain dominant deductive-only facts,
and evidence of both ecologically regenerative
and anti-ecosystemically degenerative futuristic fantasies
about climate change as urgent climate pathology,
even setting all this aside,
please review our U.S. conservatively patriotic
Right of Left Progressive-Liberal
devil’s advocate agenda.

Somehow I think you lost the first chapter
in my Matriarchal WoManual.
Avoid inappropriate touch and speech at all times;
but also embrace therapeutic touch and speech favoring, as positive,
(possibly even RealTime Millennial Progressive)
future regenerative times.

Please avoid merely repeating past degenerative conservatism
as if beautiful ecopolitical women were merely dumb blind blondes
within our ecologically multiculturing marketplace.

I appreciate that you do not see yourself
as a victim of history,
but more as a victorious Devil’s Advocate,
and I love it when you mention this
despite U.S. women receiving enfranchisement rights
even after Black male property owners in several Northern States.

But, darling,
how on Mother Earth do you think we received this right to vote
for Donald Trump
rather than the candidate who would otherwise become the first woman U.S. President?
Do you think our patriarchal faithful Fathers
climbed off our Mothers in bed
and said,
Oh, yes, you want it?
Sure. Here, it’s yours.

How do you think your rant
against marchers and protesters
sometimes shouting Women’s Lives Matter Too,
your stark disapproval of those who physically demonstrate
that they have not had your same benignly secure relationship
with your rather too-dear U.S. Flag and Patriotic-Only-Need-Apply Anthems,
as heard within post-millennial virtual realities
of Devil’s Conservative Advocate supremacy?

How do you think your active disbelief
in the economic and political necessity,
or even historical effectiveness,
of strident speaking and marching
in public and private spaces and times
would feel to your maternal Elders
during the post Civil War era,
who had no other cooperatively regenerative power?

Perhaps not quite whiney enough?

I am sorry to say,
as I boundlessly love you,
and always will,
I am quite sure your conservative great great grandmother
would be pissed as hell at this,
her post-millennial offspring,
playing at Daddy Trump Devil’s Advocate;
joining the continuing LeftBrain dominant paternalistic
plutocratic team,
when she so vigorously marched and protested for this opportunity for you
to vote for our first woman U.S. President
of a bicamerally Matriotic-Patriotic
Right-Left balancing
post-millennial RealTime U.S.A.

Your Virtual UnReality Shows
you learned well to help yourself stay away
from inappropriate touch and speech of others
you feel a reactionary need to overpower,
but have yet to begin
this deeper maternal ecotherapy
to always and everywhere regeneratively touch and speak
through Mother Earth’s cooperatively sustaining climates
and landscapes of health and safety
as nutrients worthy of your positive nurturing
(despite also known as post-millennial eco-politically progressive)
for all EarthTribe’s multicultural future regenerations.

Don’t date yourself so much
as an anti-feminist blonde beauty
overly glutted with the conservative diastatic age
of General Eisenhower,
as yummy as that was at the time.

But, this is your time.
Seize it.
CoArise with your cooperative matriotic duties
to speak wisdom
to LeftBrain supremacist Trump Cards.

With at least 7 healthy generations of love,
GrandMother Moon

ebbing my Yang sway

God as WinWin Archivist

It is at least interesting to turn life’s political economy backward
through reverse-time focus.

Life’s memories of an uphill journey,
perhaps even a sacred pilgrimage,
toward an ultimate death of ego identity,
giving way voluntarily, or not,
to Earth’s regenerative potential, or not.

Let’s call this ecoconsciousness of light

As we mature,
we ascend and wonder
if and how and when we might ever reach what we so hope will be a WinWin
health and wealth abundant outcome,
somehow against the biological odds of decay,
for all future lives we dread leaving behind,
despite our original uphill problem
of egocentric death,
purgation.

As we approach older age of ominous portent,
youth’s omnipotent hopes more or less dashed,
it is remarkably easier to turn our mindbody image backward
toward our original embryonic becoming,
and marvel at our journey toward this time and place,
this almost eternally summarizing moment
of ego identity emergence.
Now easier looking down the vista of distance gained
to encourage ourselves about how cleverly and often clumsily,
yet inevitably,
we have arrived on this pilgrimage toward ego death as ecoconscious freedom,
ascending,
continuing to co-arise
until we reach this Omega Point WinWin
as these ego-eco twin lenses
transubstantiate toward one EarthLight,
regenerating sacred purpose.

Looking backward,
down this pilgrimage hill climbed toward now aging autumn moment,
remaining opportunity feels easier and lighter,
more helpful, even compassionate.

To reframe Thomas Aquinas
with a Taoist both-and cause-effect twist:
S/he who considers
absolutely (0)Source Origins
the highest cause of the whole universe,
namely Earth’s Creator God,
and considers sacred also these remaining effects of Earth’s universal pilgrimage
toward diastatically fertile ecoconscious identity,
is most of all called wise.

If Yang God is cause
then so is Yin Goddess wisdom’s flowing effect
most regeneratively both before and after sacred outcomes
on this pilgrimage we share
toward our co-arising WinWin Game
of and for regeneratively ecoconscious creation stories
about journeys toward our diastatic (0)Mega Light destination
from which each polypathic integrity potential humane life
was ecologically fertile born.

If God is first cause,
then Eden Earth is final regenerative effect.

If our historic path is at least the story of our natural phylogenic evolution
then enculturation is also our orthodox creation story
of sacred theological revolutionary effects through egocentric death,
by merely imagining our mindbodies
continuing on this co-arising aging journey
but looking back through this long beloved,
and yet often frightening and angry ego, journey
so necessary to ultimately conjoin
God’s polypathic ecoconsciousness,
weaving Earth’s optimally regenerative WinWin outcomes
through love of co-empathic trust
in Earth’s health-wealth optimizing time
along this retrospectively ecological uphill journey
toward egocentric death.

Matriarchal Trinity

It was a Greek sacred trinity
of arete as Western Yang
with Eastern sophrosyne
flowing wisdom’s futuring past Yin
double-bound in opulently fertile health
as harmonic balancing nature-spirits
co-arising kalokagathia Tipping Points,
our Western PreRenaissance of (0)-soul Taoism
nutrition v toxin, ecopolitically co-discerning ecological
health v pathology, AfroGreco-JudeoRoman ReGenerative Theory.

It was a sleek commercial invitation,
to further invest in yang-lust power fueled midnight royal blue cars
nurtured and caressed and driven
by brilliantly smart and beauty-inviting yin-matriarchal icons
repeating primal polytheisms’ dynamic polypathic beliefs
in future WinWin consumer-production ecopolitical balance,
yin seducing yang abundance,
imaginary anthrocentric reduction,
reified by LeftBrain dominant consumer economy development
as more important than reproducing RightBrain’s ecologically abundant
matriarchal production cooperatives,
flying on up past shadowed forest mountain peaks
to sail directly into Full Grandmother Moon’s nocturnally empathic wisdom.

It was uneven disciplining tensions,
Yang’s historic preoccupation with building ever bigger
ecopolitical Western-rooted AnthroCreation Stories
seducing Yin’s nutritionally wise nurturing
harmonically confluent fertile-symbiotic abundance.
Sophia as notnot equivalently struggling
with Yang’s Empirical Left/Right EcoLogical Balance,
enculturing healthy co-informing climates
enveloping ecotherapeutic politically cooperative investing landscapes
of arete-Left/ectoflowing-Right proportional yangyin-symbiotic
nature-spirit bicameral wisdom balance,
together forming sacred bodhisattva-ecomessianic trinities
of ecopolitical West/East appositional co-arising inclusion
appropriate to each WinWin EarthTribe-Gaming frame
of polypathic bilateral Left/Right as Yang/Yin
ecto/endo-symbiotic
history of ecopolitical anthrocentric capital=home=Earthcentric consciousness.

Perhaps Mr. Nietzsche would not bicamerally mind a paraphrase,
We have arrestingly recreative
and sometimes wise imagination
in natural-spiritual Left/Right balancing order
not to ecopolitically perish
through further imbalanced,
unevenly competitive, dominant Left
rather than cooperatively Left/Right multicultural revolutions
of ecotherapeutic extending matriarchal family regenerative planning
for futures at least as healthy as wise LeftBrain heroic arete today.
