Watering Terror

I’m so confused,
raised to believe cooperative love overpowers competing fears
about scarcity of time,
and other resources,
and anger about past over- and under-valuing of myself
as a regenerative resource,
Presence,
raised to believe the Golden Rule
is most effectively applied to all life,
as cooperative ecologically regenerative potential,
I don’t see how it could be OK
to run a national political campaign
assuming I will confuse the taking of life for nutritional needs
as less humane than the taking of life for punishment and retributive needs,
death-debt owed for death-taken,
if only it were possible to kill
this discultured clan of terrorists
repeatedly
for each and every innocent life taken
with such unholy cynicism as anti-life hopeless degenerates.

I find this violence-begets-violence nowhere else
in any ecosystem,
anything that could possibly be called a sustainable system,
in any form of nature,
other than humane nature as de-natured humanity.

However, now that I think of it,
perhaps we do see something of its kind
in diseased and over-crowded populations,
literally eating their young.

We often call this “rabidity”,
as individuals,
families,
tribes,
swarming in a monocultural snarl,
turn on each other
begin unprovoked cannibalism,
prey on each other,
perhaps as a form of punishment or retribution
for past angers and fears only these terrorist champions of chaos
can see
and feel;
a mounting prescient culture of mutual disregard and antipathy,
immunity,
trending toward Lose-Lose sociopolitical economic and ecological
outcomes.

Still,
is it wise to sanction violence to be perpetrated by others
on our behalf,
at any scale,
for any reason?
How is abuse and neglect of death-producing miscreants
not hypocritical
for a person who believes in the power of cooperative love
as a more effective Golden Rule
than “Beat Others down before they Win more than you”?
Does this intend to include anything but monocultural AnthroCentric overcrowding, more violence,
more dissonance,
trending toward decomposition of all Earth’s systems?

Am I to invest
or disinvest
in a competing human race
or a humanizing regenerate space and time?
Or, is it something MidWay between,
sometimes competing anger and fear might be Teachers,
I suppose,
although still not the best choice-makers.
Perhaps we could leave cooperative balancing
of Tipping Point decomposition
and analysis of therapeutic/toxic trends,
within exclusive charge of CoArising Love as Golden Rule choice-making;
choosing whether or not to disinvest in regenerative health potential values of a life,
or a biosystem,
an ecosystem,
to optimally invest in Earth’s regenerating health and vitality.

Yet, Earth does not necessarily
always and at all times,
water humane flowers
to starve the weeds.
More often, weeds starve flowers of water
as Crusading Christians starved diversity of intelligence
through violent ex-communication.

So, if these interdependently organic
cooperating relationships
between and within individuals,
families of weeds,
tribes of flowers,
nations and planets,
and the ecobalance of co-arising space with time
are what we seem to love,
then why do we suboptimize with Win-Lose economic and political choices
to compete with each other
for livelihood
sense of vocational value,
for power to declare war on each other,
the right to abuse and neglect and ex-communicate each other,
as if Earth’s evolutionary journey
is not historically rooted
in cooperative regenerate enculturation,
as any of life’s surviving cells
could quickly attest,
even under threat of ex-communication.

It is difficult for me to find any faith
or even hope
in the belief that Earth produced this humanizing race
toward degenerating dissonance
and overly-competitive Win to Lose strategies
of Left-brain cultural and language
and political and economic
dominance.

It feels less confusing to me
to comprehend we are ecoconsciously co-loving each other
in a rapidly overpopulating monocultural species
with humane researching and incubating
emergently embryonic cooperative aspirations
to optimize WorldWide Win-Win ecosystemic networks,
to balance Left with Right mindbody co-mentoring intelligence,
harmonizing all our bicameral systemic information,
issuing inductive from Heaven’s TransParent Cloud
and deductive from Earth’s RNA icons
of recreate intelligence,
form with co-arising cooperative function,
noun as verb,
and harmonic-octave frequencies
in 4-square Prime Sequential Relationship,
both co-gravitational temporal with thermodynamic spatial,
Yang OVER yin-squared = c-squared ecoconsciousness
of Universal TransParent (0) Metric Balance.

Perhaps, then, it is less confusing to me
to think about how to invest more wisely
in non-violent empathy of Basic Attendance
to notice and listen with still-centered mindbody,
empathically absorbing claustrophobic fear and anger
saturating toxic terror that my life,
therefore your life,
has no ego-intrinsic value
because LeftEgo is too dissonantly dominant
over Right EcoEarth Regenerational Analogic
CoEmpathic Arising Function,
so my death, therefore your death,
has no Earth-intrinsic regenerative value or disvalue.

From this position
I cannot see Allah as ReGenerator Power and Flow,
Form with NatureFunction,
Love with Synergetic Intent,
TransParent Empathic Elational Present
Concave Place within Convex Culture
through Time’s bilaterally co-gravitational eco-normative lens.

How is any directive to starve and/or neglect and/or kill
not what Christians have known as ex-communication
unto decomposing degeneration?
Dissonance struggling against dissonance,
when we could choose to emerge mutually-resonant regenerators,
re-communicative poly-empathic optimizers,
co-mentoring enriching Earth-regenerate soil
reforesting our rivers for clean water,
repurposing our mutual immunity
as mutual subsidiarity within
Earth,
EcoTribe,
RNA/DNA solidarity.
These three held together into perpetuity,
Earth Tribal ReSolution.

Perfect Love

Perfect love is perfection,
it is rare,
if such love exists at all
it must thrive beyond boundaries of my own experience
either receiving,
or giving.

Could this perfection of synergetic harmony and confluence
we have grown to love as love itself
become discovered in and through another
by anyone other than a person,
a being,
mature and healthy with perfect love?

If love is equivalent to synergy,
as Bucky frequently tipped his ruddered pointer,
then love’s perfection must be nondually comprehended
exclusively in this present moment.
Love remembered can fuel faith
to hope for greater love,
a better grade or quality of synergetic life fuel,
a more confluently harmonic love
for future Beloved Communal Time.

Perfect love co-redeems our inclusively co-operative vocation.
No one of us can experience and flawlessly sustain perfect love
until each being we meet
each day and night we greet,
each minute,
each co-arising event
can be nondually known,
identified,
understood,
comprehended as our perfected ground of live
as love’s co-present evolving meaning,
deductively exclusive of no “other” entity.

We are all in this cooperative love,
this Win-Win Vocational Game,
together.
No one crosses the finish line forever
until we all cross our threshold into cosmological love of ever.
No one can optimally
ultimately
quintessentially “placehold” Zero-identity,
occupy
embody
incarnate co-redeemer perfect love
until this permacultural economic ecology
of co-arising synergy
as cosmological dual-dark Tao balance
resolves globally encultured;
reinserting human rights and justice
within their rightful meadow of nature’s ecological balance
of Yang’s power of mattered Order,
with Yin’s flow of energetic
bionic
ionic Choice of Eco- over Ego-centric,
yet nondually, balanced consciousness;
the end of our Left-brain domination
and self-condemnation to ignorance
of our bicamerally cooperative
DNA/RNA nature’s full-evolving abundance.

Then,
in that Great Transition Day,
now,
within each day,
this perfection of love,
including our perceptions of each Other
as love’s potential incarnate,
will become easier,
less dissonant,
less depressing to contemplate
and know its absence;
human self-hatred’s vast potential for nihilism,
for Win-Lose deductive-dominant entropy,
while Earth’s children sink to their knees
because their elders continued to steal sustainable health from them,
continued to resist our Emperor’s nakedness,
absence of dignity and respect outside embracing self-governance
as Earth’s advocate,
holonic representative,
mutual mentor,
co-arising messiahs and Boddhisatvas.

We are each naked emperors
within our beloved communal Earth Tribe,
our cooperatively natured selves.
Incarnation is not independent ownership of form,
devoid of co-regenerational mentorship of function.

Laotse asks,
Loss of ego identity or possession of goods,
including one’s own interior nutritional plant-body,
which is the greater evil?

Loss of a dualistic,
independently competitive
heroic ego-self,
including imperfections of ignoring our co-redemptive
prime relational ecology
and eco-norms for transactions,
actions,
praxis,
prehension,
relationships,
mutually subsidiary interdependence of ownership
of inclusive health and well-being,
including that dream of redeeming others
from their sins and ignorance,
for those possessions are mine as well,
to share and mentor this permacultural ground
of synergetic love
in each moment
of integrative consciousness.

If money is our eco-social icon
for measuring life’s value and power,
then our shared currency of nutritional health
and beloved well-being
is the prime root 0-soul and sum cooperative Core,
+Vector-Polynomial/(-,-)Dual-Dark Vortex NotNotPolynomial,
for optimizing comprehensive value consciousness.
From this perfectly balancing ground of nondual becoming
we have learned throughout all of Time
to mutually invest in cooperative love,
synergy,
to disinvest away from dissonantly competitive disease.

We are both perfectionists and deceptionists.
Health is our primal barometer
for measuring and valuing and evaluating
which is which.
Synergy revolves our deceptions
into our perfecting reception.
Synergetic global cooperation
is our shared ultra-violet
co-arising revolution.

Perfect love,
like perfect health,
is rare,
and impossible to find and maintain,
much less optimally sustain life’s potentiality,
in isolating co-reductive Win-Lose cultures,
nations,
economies,
paradigms,
metrics,
and theories.

We still have a choice;
let’s return together to the healthier and wealthier one.

My Perfect President

Open letter to President Obama:

9/17/2015

Two things. A thank you, and a suggestion for our shared global future, confronting increasingly rapid climatic, with concomitant cultural and economic, transitions.

First, thank you for the pleasure of watching and listening to your comparative political and economic sanity for the past eight years. Enthusiastically voting for you twice, although you are not my “perfect” candidate, was such a relief and pleasure. And, your performance in what appears to be a largely thankless and hopeless position, has been graceful and sometimes even respectful of honest differences in priority. When comparing our financial investment in your presidential campaigns, and the cost to your personal integrity, to any positive health and well-being return, I see where this may have made sense for the rest of us, but I find it miraculous that you so generously accept your losses, along with your wins.

Second, my suggestion moves toward optimizing political and economic potential for addressing what we have labeled “climate warming,” but is actually the multisystemic problem of over-heated climate change. You seem to see the difference, and recognize the awesome scale of this challenge, especially during the already-shrinking projected normal life spans of our children, and grandchildren. So the requisite motivation to recognize and accept climate change as our most profoundly significant “well-being” global rights issue, as well as a national issue, you already have in your pocket.

No doubt you have noticed by now that even the President of the United States and the General Secretary of the United Nations, perhaps those two positions even more so than for all of us regular folks, daily confront a huge gap between what you are motivated to do and what you are powerful enough to accomplish. With political empowerment comes greater global and cultural and socioeconomic responsibilities, and aspirations. If you are any good as a person at all, I think you step into this larger-scale of consciousness, and you and your family do appear to be very good people indeed.

Perhaps helpful, with regard to our political “stuckness”, I am also noticing a considerable growth and refinement of two paradigms that appear to be co-arising toward nonduality, which, if you are familiar with Buddhist and/or Taoist philosophy, is the kind of evolution that has a way of becoming revolutionary, in a positive way. These two paradigms are Permaculture Design (and Development) and New (Feminist) Economics.

Each of these paradigms analyzes Business As Usual to point toward our urgent need for cultural and economic local-scaled cooperative-nurturing systems (including healthier ecosystems) to replace our current messiness. Business As Usual includes Win-Lose Game Theory, Left-brain dominant deduction, competition, economic and evolutionary cultural dynamics of entropic-trending dysfunction and over-specialization.

Since retiring from grant and program development for Connecticut human service agencies, I have been reading economics as presented by Riane Eisler (The Real Wealth of Nations), John Michael Greer (The Wealth of Nature), and Charles Eisenstein (Sacred Economics). Each is brilliant and together they shape an economic dipolar pattern contrasting Received View financial growth as economic wealth with a newer, more cooperative-centric economics of health, positive nutrition:

  • healthy production balancing consumption, and
  • polycultural health as root-value measure of wealth regeneration within eco-logically cooperative systems that today emerge from our current exponentially-growing global consensus that well-being has already begun trending toward decomposition.

Permaculturists, from Laotse through Buckminster Fuller and on to today’s booming industry of healing Earth and residents thereof, take as much interest in the ecological balance of regeneration and decomposition as economists invest in expanding v. contracting economic health of production/consumption systems.

Eisenstein (2011) calls the New Economics “sacred” economics, but, boiled down into natural system language, his sacred might be translated with Buckminster Fuller’s synergy; a positive-trending cooperatively-evolving dynamic integrity of health trend systems design and development. Further, Eisenstein seems to interpret “divine,” as contrasted to profane, as integrity v. deductive-reductive-redactive competing identities and independently eisegetical understanding. It is a profane Business As Usual culture assuming oppositional either-or Win-Lose evolutionary strategies and logistics, when it is more ectosymbiotically integrative to heuristically hold both-and Win-Win appositional challenges and comparisons and tipping-points, leading toward nondual co-arising strategies and more comprehensive polycultural consciousness.

What are Win-Win cooperative political, economic, and ecological outcomes that are achievable given the current climate in Washington, the U.S., and Earth?

I think we already do agree on, and are united within, one primary concern: How can I (and we)

  • invest in optimizing my health and well-being,
  • assure the right of full healthy development of my dependents, and all I love,
  • continue learning and mentoring wise and natural-systemic discernment, rather than merely learning to produce and consume more efficiently,
  • prudently invest my life exclusively within long-term just-right maturation, by avoiding short-term high risk gains in a sense of wealth that has become divorced from health of life’s intrinsically regenerative value.

We could each and all choose to invest our balancing budgets in cooperative economic industry, vocations, residences, communities, local ecosystems and polyculturally inclusive transformations of monoculturally silo-entropic decomposition, or Win-Lose Business As Usual. This choice of cooperative polycultural development over competitively self-isolating monocultures reflects the permaculturist’s approach to each site for redesign, but also our approach to each day, each life, each word and communication choice, each food and recreation choice. It seems possible to recognize that Martin Luther King’s Beloved Community is equivalent to the permaculturist’s Climax Community and the cooperative economist’s 7-Generation planning for optimal life-sustaining cooperative health-investment networks; where health is interpreted as broadly as Thich Nhat Hanh’s positive nutrition for all the senses, most definitely including aesthetic health, proportion, rhythm, patterns of form, function, and frequency.

If  all life, and future human quality of life in all its diversity of colors and cultures, matters, this new economic permacultural paradigm could be the basis of

  • deep learning theories in public education,
  • taught to every politician entering elected office,
  • every military strategy leader and teacher,
  • every policy analyst and designer,
  • every government employee and volunteer and intern training program, including the Peace Corp and AmeriCorp/VISTA.

Turning public education and public financial investment away from supporting further monoculturally-trending competition, and toward healthy polyculturally-trending cooperative systems and networks, could work for both sides of the nation’s partisan aisle.

This would be an impressive way to both exit as President, and enter as what Laotse would call a sagacious ruler; a permaculturally proficient polyculturist of cooperative economics, natural evolutionary relationships, and ecological well-being. That is what I would wish for you and your family, as I wish for mine.

If you are looking for a permaculturist with systems design and development expertise, I strongly recommend Joanna Macy, in California, sometimes, teaching in the Berkeley area.

Thank you for your response to our still-emerging climate change issue.

Namaste,

Gerald Dillenbeck, MPA, M. Div., PDC

The Civil PolyCultural Revolution Party

“Before the party begins,”
said the Permaculturist to her pupils,
Yang on the Left,
Yin twins on Right,
processing nondually,
“a brief reminder.
of how to enter a room with appropriate balance.”

“This Party Door to life is not hinged for the right-hand dominant side
to swing open and closed
at Ego’s Win-Lose competitively unilateral convenience.”

“Our Party’s threshold toward Win-Win love
is a revolving door,
(0)-soul centered, geometrically, metaphysically, ecologically, and economically,
thermodynamically and gravitationally and cosmologically.
ionically and ergodically,
bionically and binomially nondual co-arising teleology,
logically and fractally dynamic,
revolutionary.
Our PolyCulture Party massively co-hosts
and energetically mentors
this universal spacetime,
on the other nondual side of this classroom’s revolving threshold door.”

“Please continue to push into the Door from the LeftYang position,
while pulling toward your Ego from your RightYin;
either way and both together, nondually.”

“Please avoid messy tangles of arms and legs
and bicamerally dissonant heads
by retaining positive clockwise revolutionary potential,
as opposed to counter-revolutionary BusinessAsUsual
for entering the classroom.”

“This PolyCulture Party celebrates our co-arising design and development,
light dawning with the flow of Time’s eco-natural system,
spinning Left to Right,
then back to Left,
iterative bicameral revolutions toward closure
of our Originating Story,
(0)Mega Tipping Point
Core Pendulum of Time
with Bicameral Enlightenment
for full-octave Party brights.”

“Today,
feeling your light of polycultural wisdom,
after you have finished all your empirical scientific research
for sufficient deductive/inductive
nondual co-arising
Win-Win double-negative logistics
and statistical dipolar trend optimization,
then,
and only then,
please step into the PolyCulture Party threshold,
become the zen nondual-Tao Door,
swing positively on Left-deductive,
and double-negatively on Right-intuitive/inductive.”

“Again,
please sustain these two bicameral frames,
simultaneously confluent
to flow nutrients out Left and wisdom in Right’s dual-dark atmosphere
in temporal and proportional alignment
for optimal thermodynamic balance,
and proactive, yet nonviolent, love.”

Yang and Yin-twins wend their weignt along Golden Ratios and Rules,
toward their nondual and dipolar,
correlational
co-arising
PolyCulture Revolution Party.

Your Bicamerally Balancing Time.
Your TriSpaceDeductive with BioTime’s Co-Inductive Memory Moment.
Your Mental Wealth of Health.

Our cooperative Win-Win ecosystemic revolutionary gaming party,
with health/wealth organic snacks,
locally grown and harvested,
decomposed and regenerated,
lived and died and relived
through future generations,
and back to once upon our co-arising dual-dark Time.

Cooperative Political Odds

I wilt with guilt,
self blame,
too comfortable with living midway
within this United 5%
stealing 28% of Time’s encrusted fossil investment
as if by collective right
as if without loss,
no reparations for the other 95%
today
or for the 100% of future generations
born nearly bankrupt
of healthy economic trends
suffering from our eco-dislogical bender.

What I must know
from those who would lead us
through the next two or four or six years,
What is your cooperative political and economic experience,
aspiration,
vision,
informed by the pursuit of wealth measured in inclusive health,
rich nutritious optimization choices
moving you and us away from BusinessAsUsual
Win-Lose strategies
with sub-optimizing intent.

Please let us not settle for Winning now
by choosing Loser policies for tomorrow!

How can you reassure us
that our vulnerable children
will not be heated
for stealing from all Earth’s tribal presence
and future,
further shredding karmic grace
of healthy eco-normic pace?

If we are global citizens,
how can we tolerate
allowing our kids to deliberately aim ballistics against each other,
to take nature’s irreplaceable energy
so outrageously, violently,
to strip our water and air of their mutual climatic balance,
our soil raped of health,
our own future potential aborted
bereft of health and justice birthright
which mindless violence
and short-sighted Win-Lose competition have squandered.

Show me the candidates
who study their own priorities
as incarnated by their colleagues,
discern how they can combine strengths
to cooperatively develop optimized health wealth
as both domestic and global necessity.

If candidates cannot establish Win-Win campaign priorities,
why would we believe they know how to develop Win-Win policies?

If candidates cannot explain how they are fully invested
in their local cooperative economies
and inclusive governance discernment
then how could they explain their default
to competitive BusinessAsUsual
Win-Lose politics and economics
in which I have lost all faith
in outcomes other than collapse and failure?

We must more fully incarnate
Earth’s synergetic evolution of health
as political and economic measure of sustainable wealth.
Missing this primal priority
is suicidal cannibalism,
eating our own children’s integrity,
viability for loving life
more than entropic stasis.

Where are our Boddhisatva Cooperative Warriors,
willing to embrace this challenge of active love
in private as public life?
We have run out of time for second string illusionists,
fully invested in first string permaculturists.

Heads Will Roll with Laughter

What to do,

how respond,

to totalitarian tyranny in someone else’s home

or community

or economy?

 

OK, good question, I hope,

yet with ample precedent in polycultural battles

to attain harmonious balance

where we have become monopolistically lost.

 

What do you do,

how respond,

to monocultural stimuli advancing in your own heart,

across your backyard?

When death stalks you,

declares you alien to life’s current probabilities

of rationally redeeming praxis,

when your friends recognize your karma

arcing from past memories

inviting evolution’s highly personal fragile future?

 

What do you do when you fear

your ego and relationships of love,

and sometimes even faint suggestion of domestic peace,

may realistically be at an unwelcome end?

 

I tend to ask myself,

then those around me,

profoundly wise questions:

Have I done something to tick you off?

Why this tyranny,

where is the winning function of decay,

mayhem, mercenary merciless mob

thuggish behavior?

 

Who is winning what in this long-hot summer

of monopolistic habits, norms,

assumptions of egocentric,

rather than ecologic,

zero-sum lose-lose strategies

and principles of economics?

Who designed such chaos?

 

And, my answer always echoes

resoundingly back across our Eternal Transitional Moment,

“no one,

this is a fool’s game we witness.”

 

So, whether this totalitarian monocultural weedpatch

of a socioeconomic culture is your own

or your neighbor’s

or your larger DNA/RNA-rooted and regenerative cousins

trees

seas

stardust Elders,

if you know them as interdependent relationships

within EcoTherapeutic Praxis

we mentor with, by, and for each Other,

continue to water your cooperative flowers

and ignore that violent weedish autocrat

suffering from too much yang,

too little yin flexibility and graceful mind

and inclusively grateful breath.

 

If you can’t win them back,

join them in laughter at ourselves

for being such an autistically exclusive species,

distracted by our own solar spots and days gone solo,

we forget we’re all in our mess together,

whether we aim ballistics at eco-systemic hearts,

and wallets, and purses,

and values,

or not.

 

When my teenagers cannot believe they need not fear me,

because my actions tell them otherwise,

according to their diverse abilities,

they laugh with me.

This laughter always surprises

I cannot retain my fear and anger,

but maybe a little suffering,

and my daughter shuns me,

and my older sons ask me what is my problem?

 

It helps when they remember to ask with kindness

and patience with my pain and fear

and cherished suffering.

 

So, why not a simple email from one head of state,

tribe,

community,

household,

to Other:

I can see you are suffering catastrophic loss

of wealth and happiness,

your nutrients are leaking,

your polycultures fade

and your monocultural trend is sharply rising,

how can we help?

 

Sometimes I’m in no mood to talk.

I want to hang on to my suffering,

to fully harvest its positive lessons.

Sometimes I’m in a mood

to not tolerate shunning

from Ms. Oppositional Daughter,

but my son who cannot speak,

understands no language beyond rhythm and resonance,

language as music in personal keys and chords,

when he laughs at my vast righteousness,

I melt and wilt

to join his polycultural revolution

of atmosphere

attention

primal assumption of mutual gratitude,

we will always laugh together

as we have throughout our incarnations.
