Biological Enlightenment

First off,
this is not pick on George Lakoff day
because I love his Political Mind like a brother.

BUT,
yes,
you knew that was coming,
so let me change it right now

AND,
yes, much of the proletariat-patriarchal Enlightenment Era
of the 1700s was weighted toward Transcendence,
so, yes, a tendency toward disembodied,

AND YET,
if we look toward the more bourgeois-matriarchal sector,
especially all those disenfranchised women birthin’ babies,
but also other disadvantaged perspectives of Enlightenment,
these were very much about natural, healthy regenerative richness,
perhaps erotic wonder and climatic awe,
rather than some spiritual experience
more high-brow agapic,
yet no less,
perhaps even rather more,
integrative flow-abundant
embodied
co-mentored and empathically communicated
reverent and sacred enlightenment,
however democratically common
as our universal experience
of diastatic enlightenment
nurtured within a matriarchal integrative womb
rather than embryonically formed
from a patriarchal transcendent penis.

I don’t think red-neck conservative Republicans
are any less interested in,
or committed to,
or capable of,
healthy enlightening polypathic experience
than are progressive Ivy League academic Democrats,
although I do think that those who have healthier nurtured
integrative communication between LeftYang and RightYin hemispheres
are better at finding the WinWin cooperatively enlightening opportunities
while avoiding unnecessary disembodied pitfalls of WinLose choices
suboptimizing regenerative potential
to experience more positive enlightenment-flow power
rather than more cognitive-affective dissonance,
mistrusting antipathies.

These tend to be those
for whom LeftBrain enculturation dominance,
supremacy,
has been less kind than RightBrain’s matriarchal nurturance.

Wonder as Political Choice

“Wonder
or radical [polypathic, polycultural] amazement
is a prerequisite for an authentic [ecopolitical] awareness
of that which is;
[regenerative love-rooted v degenerative fear-rooted
messages,
actions,
choices,
decisions regarding democratically cooperative
egalitarian
health and security for all];

it [polypathic open-systemic (0)-sum Wonder]
refers not only to what we see
[and smell,
and taste,
and hear,
and feel,
and think,
and have positive-love and negative-fear attitudes about]
but also to the very act of seeing,
[bicameral mirror neural-empathicWonder/antipathicMisTrust]
as well as to our own selves
[wondrous and polypathically amazing bicameral nature-spirit biosystems]
that [both Right and LeftBrain bilaterally] see
and are amazed
at their [our co-mentoring multicultural] ability to see.”
[ever more confluent-flow, positive-cooperative ecopolitical Wonder.]
Abraham Heschel

If Yang is a political WinLose player,
He is also a LefBrain monoculturing actor,
going it alone
in part because of a mistrust of His (0)Riginally Intended Yin,
now cast as a repressed cooperative economic consumer
of Yang’s fear-rooted dominating messages,
actions,
plutocratically rabid choices for hoarding short-term Wins,
rather than cooperatively investing in democratically multiculturing us,
rooted in Yin’s dipolar co-arising co-empathic Left-Right
Prime (0) Relationship
of mutual balance and trust.

For example,
George Lakoff quotes a journalist
recalling a slap-down from a Republican White House staffer:

“The aide said that guys like me were ‘in what we call the [regenerative and degenerative health] reality-based community,’…
people who ‘believe that [ecologically systemic multiculturally resonant] solutions
emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.'”
[ego/ecoconscious Left-Right balancing-reiterating]

“‘That’s not the way the world
[my LeftBrain Dominant, so RightBrain Repressed, ego- and anthro-centric fear-rooted
paranoid
WinLose
disembodied nihilistic fundamentally egocentric experience
of a nationalistic ecopolitical world]
really works any more.
We’re an empire now
[plutocratic fear-based, with rabid monoculturing intent,
Yang uber-reified
LeftBrain spiraling out of control]
and when we act
we create our own reality.’
[Competitive WinLose BusinessAsUsual climate pathological trending]

‘And while you’re [Yintegratively cooperative-flowing] studying
that [Yang NegativeParanoid] reality–
judiciously [LeftYang-RightYin WinWin discernment],
as you will–
we’ll act again,
creating other new realities,
[of old climates of WinLose pathology]
which you can [Yintegratively-cooperatively] study too,
and that’s how things will [degeneratively] sort out.
We’re [LeftBrain dominant-supremacist] history’s [Yang] actors…
and you, all of you [Yintegrative polypathic regenerators],
will be left to study what we do.'”
[Without intending to ecologically-economically WinWin
invest in future generations,
as our (0)Riginal Intending cooperative incorporating Elders
regeneratively invested in our health and safety.]
George Lakoff, Political Mind, pp 40-1

Wonder
or radical ecopolitical amazement
is a prerequisite for an authentic awareness
of those actions,
cooperative/competitive choices,
heath-wealth policies
and polyculturing procedures,
investments in our further WinWin
wondrous polypathic bicameral future.

EcoPolitical Actors
who would produce wondrous wisdom
and long-term fame,
rather than infamy,
are invited to listen to the muted voices of Earth’s future,
and to thereby become less fascinated with paranoid egocentric fears
of losing shallow wealth
devoid of healthy resonance;
less Left-Dominant
opens to more cooperatively Yintegral Right-Flow
of healthy climates,
wonder,
radical awe,
Basic Attendance to Ego/EcoConsciousness,
mindfulness,
(0) sum balance-centeredness.

“[T]he radical conservative political and economic agenda
is putting public [health] resources
and government [security] functions
into private [competitive WinLose] hands,
while eliminating the capacity of [coopratively owned, WinWin] government
to protect and empower the public [health and safety].

The public has no [active cooperative incorporating, incarnating] conceptual framework…
to comprehend what this [unnecessarily degenerative risk] means
[for ourselves and our future generation of all amazing species],

and with the stress of fear [packaged, marketed, and sold
in a WinLose capitalist-militarist economy]
and worry and overwork
[and denial
and vicarious WinLose evolutionary narrative entertainments,
addictions,
monopolies of imaginative powers]
the public has little capacity to notice
and to [cooperatively] create
the substantial neural structures needed
to [polypathically ego/eco-consciously] comprehend
what is [fear-rooted] happening
in hundreds of [love-motivated] areas
of [wonder and awe-intended] life.”
George Lakoff, p. 42

Wonder
or radical [poly-empathic] amazement
is a[n ecological] prerequisite
for an authentic [ecopolitical] awareness.

Who Are We?

First and last, Mom’s embryonic parasite,
phylogenic tumor
with built in obsolescence.

Then, a moment between exodus from symbiotic womb
into Earth’s promised Eden,
forested trees for GoodLife and of prior EvilDeath,
and then time to exhale again
one last self-regenerating timeless
fertile eternity,
regenerous nativity.

In between, ecopoliticians
hoping to improve our cooperative family improvisations
on a larger liturgical jazz-dance theme,
with occasional speaking while deep-listening parts
in EarthTribe’s multiculturing womb,
embryonic ego-tumors
with built-in obsolescence;
a moment between exodus
and cooperative regenesis.

Ecology of Educational Climates 2017

Further post-millennial dialogue with Abraham Heschel:

“The problem of our youth is not youth.
The problem is the [learning] spirit of our age:
denial of transcendence [in our homes and schools],
the vapidity of [learning] values,
[competing] emptiness in the [economic] heart,
the decreased sensitivity to the imponderable [natural-ecological] quality
of the [cooperative nature-]spirit,
the collapse of [polypathic] communication
between the realm of [spiritual experience] tradition
and the inner [natural ecologically regenerative] world
of the individual.
The central problem is that we do not know how to [cooperatively] think,
how to [regeneratively intend, focus,] pray,
how to [therapeutically] cry,
how to resist the [self-condemning] deceptions
of too many [unwise, unformed] persuaders.”

“The [educational deformation] problem will not be solved by
implanting in youth a sense of belonging
[but by mentoring with youth a cooperative experience of belonging].
Belonging to [within] a [multiculturing] society [of ecological peers]
that fails in offering opportunities to satisfy authentic human [bicameral-balancing polypathic] needs
will not soothe the [dissonant] sense[s] of [climate] frustration
and [ecopolitical landscapes, frames, in monoculturing] rebellion.
What youth needs is a sense of significant [multiculturally cooperative] being,
a sense of [nature-spirit bilateral balancing] reverence
for the [polypathic climate of health] society
to which we all [embryonically] belong.”

“Man [sic] sees the things that [matriarch-embryonically] surround him [sic]
long before he [sic] becomes aware of his [sic] own [regenerate-nurturing] self.
Many of us are conscious of the hiddenness of [nutritional value] things,
but few of us sense the [nurturing bilateral] mystery
of our own [RightBrainBody co-]presence.
The [ego/eco] self cannot be described
[learned or become pedagogically-cooperatively wise]
in the terms of the [autonomous LeftBrain] mind,
for all our symbols are too poor [regeneratively anemic]
to render it
[polypathic nature-spirit centeredness embryonically emerging blissful deep-learning,
co-mentoring contentment].”

We are learning as we are becoming together.

We might imagine life lived fully as not merely a regenerative school
for learning deep polypathic ecological balance,
for global climates of healthy wealth,
both interior and exterior,
but even more profoundly ubiquitous than this matriarchal school model,
we are each co-mentors
still living within Earth’s embryonic womb
of sacred regenerative (0)Riginal Intent,
co-maturing nature-spirit flow-balance
of polypathic bicameral octave frequencies
as double-binding mirror bilateral-neural function,
co-empathic ecopolitical learning development history
of climate health’s nutritional narrative,

As also
Win-Win, both-and
notnot pathologically anti-pathic toxic tipping points,
mentoring not too much wondrously natural Ego YangForm
nor too much internally deep spiritual matriarchal-integrative Eco YinFunction;
but the wu-wei abundant healthywealth climates of both
polypathically incubating our co-learning health together.

Opposites of Decadence

How you think about the life you are evolving
at this stage of your continuing maturation
you might best measure
with how you feel about each day
you wake up to unfold
within Earth,
among your Earth Tribes of sometimes cooperative
sometimes felt too competitive
climates of ego- balancing primal eco-consciousness.

Abraham Heschel
the last of a long line of eminent Jewish scholars and prophets
watched as his own shared ecoconsciousness of Earth’s potential for Sabbath
was exterminated by elitist anthrocentric fascism,
a fascism that preached ultimate loyalty to family and homeland
and yet had no room for all of Earth’s Tribes within this separatist stand,
forgetting, ignoring our primal eco-home land as shared Earth
and her healthy climates
still struggling to this day
to absorb unhealthy competing subclimates of despair
decadence
we continue to wake up to
on far too many of our at-home unSabbathed mornings.

“We are concerned for what is happening all over the country:
so many broken homes,
disintegrated families,
alienated boys,
runaway girls,
parents in despair,
teachers in disgust.
It is a serious malaise,
and let us not deceive ourselves…
At a time when the institution of the family is in distress
and under attack,
it is important to be reminded
that the home [eco-Earth] remains the finest model
of human living
and the [extended EarthTribe] family–
the finest form of fellowship
[cooperatively eco-political].”
Heschel

Where is this day
to which each of us ecoconsciously awakens
each day of our cooperatively shared,
listened to as well as spoken,
days and nights revolving Earth’s sacred reverent time together?

Balancing our individual ego-identities
with Earth’s eco-regenerative intent,
Left with Right,
Yang with Yin,
awakening to maturity of mutually cooperative integrity
as holy as Heschel’s Earth as extended family Sabbath,
imperviously eternal against the climate pathology threats
of narrow-minded
anthrocentric
supremacy of reified Ego identity.

Whose day awakens you?
Is it only yours?
Could it also become for all of us?
CoOperating EarthTribe Revolutions
as Sabbath’s climate co-therapy together?

What day awakens regenerative co-messiah you
into Earth’s cooperatively sacred ecopolitical home
of Sabbath Climate Health?

Probably not so much decadent fundamentalist-supremacist
LeftBrain uber-totalitarian testosteroned dominance;
apparently the merely logical conclusion
without further RightBrain ecoconscious maturation,
steeped in Earth as polypathic regenerative Sabbath.

Invitation to an Unmalling

What if,
instead of inviting people to the local mall
to further accelerate a fight,
we invite each other to join us
in the middle of the central-most concourse,
for a jazz improvisation of tai chi and yoga movements,
to breathe peace in and justice out together,
to grow in reflective mindfulness together,
to cooperatively appreciate each other’s participation
in the rhythms and patterns we discover
by moving and beating and breathing our hearts together
communicating belonging together
in this unmarketable community.

What if
we invited people to dance together
and side by side,
an impromptu self-invitation
to embody together at the mall
how we belong together
rather than flying apart?

LeftBrains with RightHearts

LeftBrain ego challenges
are also investments
in cooperatively struggling with RightBrain understream flow,
understories of recreative grace,
positively trending karma,
or against, trying to swim directly upstream,
competing with RightBrain’s laterally co-arising flow skills of integration.

Our moment by ego/ecoconscious moment choices
are in where and how and why
to LeftBrain invest in positive challenge
and/or divest of cognitive negative problems.

While this either-or competition
is actually also both-and cooperation
when we are at our Left-Right best,
most maturely skilled in deep ecological learning,
we lean more heavily into both-and challenges
with RightBrain integrative polypathic multicultural comprehension,
co-empathic co-arising Left/Right mutual-subsidiarity trust,
and more lightly on either-or mistrust problems
with LeftBrain ego and anthrocentrist ignorance
of RightBrain’s timeless understory
of nutritional co-gravitating integrity.

Minds, brains, hearts, lungs, hands, feet
are embodied,
part of an organically healthy,
and sometimes more unhelpfully pathological,
ecopolitical biosystem.

So LeftBrain deductive reasoning,
logical rationality,
is also RightBrain embodied ecological,
phylogenically emerging within holistic matriotic nurturing,
growing out from Ego/Self:Eco/Other co-embodied composting wombs
co-arising nondual polypathic power-with empathy.

Following Julian Jaynes’ ethological theory of bicameral emergence,
and phylogenic historic-memetic evolutionary evidence,
LeftBrain’s polynomially languaged rationality
is primally embedded in RightBrain unlanguaged unconscious
notnot Tipping Point ecological-moral integrity development,
discernment toward multicultural integrity as climate health norms,
ego-values rooted in ecological thermodynamics of living systems.

LeftBrain egocentrism
merges with RightBrain eco-consciousness
as we mature
by extending our empathic skills
discerning ecological health
cooperatively, co-redemptively, co-mentoringly, democratically
by divesting of unhelpful self-and-other condeming pathologies,
an unwillingness to mentor co-empathic “both-and” acclimation;
especially when we feel surrounded by a mistrusting “either-or” competitive, and not quite so healthily democratic,
mutually-condemning,
sometimes paranoid and terrifying,
ego-supremacist environment.

After all,
what else could divine with human natural transubstantiation be,
other than this ecological polypathic stretch
of our multicultural WinWin Golden Rule?

Left to Right and back again,
reiterative enthymematic revolutions
of Left-Explicate and Right-NotNotImplicating-integrating
co-arising polypathic communications of climate health
and notnot dissonant demonic noise?

Once upon an eternal sacred time of Earth’s Golden Age,

Radical Conservative Revolutions

Radical conservatives are cooperatively embracing a culture war.
Our battlefield is our ecologically evolving brain.

At stake is what Earth and Earth’s hosted tribes become.
Our cooperative vocation is to radically co-arise nondual human development
to fit conservationist moral integrity.
Our threat is anemically anthrocentric democracy
and all that does not yet flow positive grace/karma through multiculturing integrity;
not just in NorthWestern cultures,
but wherever LeftBrain dominant influence extends
to RightBrain decomposing repression of deep ecological learning.

LeftBrain WinWin values are fundamentally positive-progressive,
centered on equality,
human as ClimateHealth rights,
economic and social responsibility,
and cooperative inclusion of all species
within our reweaving Golden Rule of Earth’s Conservation Rights.

Yet DNA/RNA co-arising permacultural progressives have,
without knowing why,
given DNA-anthrocentrically dominant conservatives an unwitting advantage
in our eco-cultural struggle toward inclusive peace.
Fundamentalist LeftBrain WinLose survivalists,
still wearing evaporating rags of legitimized conservative labels,
continue to hunt and gather
patriarchal authoritarian hierararchies
rooted in vast fear/anger concentrations
and monopolistic control of capital as the sole measure of wealth,
the commodification of health’s potential integrity ourselves;
unbalancing disorder rooted in fear,
bullying and intimidation,
obedience to condemning paranoia;
control of elections and administrations and legislation through control of who votes and who doesn’t bother to cooperatively invest
in our shared future;
and patriarchal family values projected upon religion, politics, and the market,
at the expense of ecopolitical matriarchal nurturing-co-empathic integrative values.

The future of Earth’s climate of democracy is at stake, now.

Social evolution is ecopolitically material–
who competitively/cooperatively controls what forms of wealth–
institutionally ecosystemic–
who runs what nutritionally multicultural/toxically monocultural powers to invest and divest of and for multi-generational regenerativity,
and political competitions within a larger cooperative WinWin network.
But the main front of our climate health culture struggle
is the Left/Right co-arising nondual mindbody,
especially how the bicameral brain functions
below the ego-conscious level of eco-consciousness.

Progressives no longer accept as sufficient
the pre-millennial view of LeftBrain dominant reason,
rooted in evolution as either-or competitions for survival,
dating back through the revolutions of struggling history ourselves,
that reason can be, but is not necessarily, ego-conscious,
both literal and analogical,
both logical and ecological,
both universal and unitarian,
both unemotional and co-arising empathic feelings,
disembodied as decompositional
but primally
regeneratively
ecologically
organically
phylogenically systemic,
serving both egoLeft and ecoRight cooperative conservation interests.

As cognitive and brain sciences unveil,
this is no longer a distorted LeftBrain dominant view of reductive reason.
This may sound like a merely academic issue,
but this assumption about the ecological nature of logical co-empathic
phylogenic comprehension of ego/eco balancing consciousness
has stood in the way of an effective progressive/conservative co-defense
and advancement of polypathic democracy.
Multicultural progressives pre-millennially ceded
the eco-political balanced mind
to fundamental reductivist traditional icons of wealth,
no longer rooted in Earth’s integrity of health.

Our ecopolitically dominant LeftBrain mind
dynamically uncovers RightBrain’s unconscious-unlanguaged modes of politically cooperative thought,
and how these are co-arisingly nondual-linked.

We are each and all climate health experts,
conservatives of cooperative ecopolitical cultures.
As we develop our cognitive sciences,
we are changing our polypathic comprehension of ecosystemic technical fields
like economics,
international climate health relations,
regenerative v degenerative evolution,
and LeftBrain dominant linguistics,
and why these LeftRight balancing changes matter
for Earth’s future ecological politics.

Cooperative Capital Investment

If you want to not only defend and secure your mental health and happiness,
but also optimize their positive capital flow-power;

If you can find sufficient motivation for one change,
and only one nature/spirit change,
then continue to assume your Right hand dominant mind
is might makes capital-invested ego-happiness right,
BUT/AND
work on equivalently presuming Left hand Yintegral sacred ecosystemic mind
is also right flows eco-healthy co-mentoring opportunities
for growing cooperatively incarnating abundance of healthy(R)happy-wealth(L).

These two, appositionally united,
rather than merely dissonant, chaotic, mis-communicating
between LeftBrain ego-dominant economic survivalism
and RightBrain eco-recessive politically organic regenerative health,
recreate embryonically-nurtured ego-force of eco-flow,
Yang/Yin ego-form of Earth-ecological-function,
POWER with CoEMPOWERING FLOW OPTIMIZATION
mindbody forms with ecopolitically strong healthy functions,
LeftEgo/Right-DNA/RNA Solidarity
human-divine
nature-spirit
balancing biosystems
of past and for future timelessly self/other optimizing cooperative
healthy(R)wealth(L).

On the other hand,
if conserving and defending your own regenerative health abundance
is of no interest,
then, never mind.
Keep on with the LeftBrain Business as Competitively Usual.
Just know that you are irrationally choosing to continue playing your economics and politics and mental health
using a pre-millennial WinLose misunderstood model of evolution
when you have available
a post-millennial WinWin ego/ecoconscious model
for continuing to defend and secure polypathic revolutions.

No pressure.
Your decision.
But you will never feel you have honestly,
with total investment integrity, decided one way or the other
until you choose WinLeftEgo/WinRight EcoPolitical CoOperative-Flow Balance.
