Struggling For Democratic HealthCare

If I became a pronoia non-schizophrenic
I might begin channeling Jesus of Nazareth
but, instead, dealing with my real world dysfunctional family,
with messianically depressing delusions
refracting illusions of gift-it-forward co-redemptive grandeur
leading cooperative economic explorations
into remembering pronoia hopes
resilient win/win regenerativity
despite win/lose verbally abusive
and actively distrusting history

Struggling to pacify
remaining cognitive v affective dissonance
about bodhisattva empowering
and economically enlightening assignations,
therapeutic communication
respectful of our integrally democratic constitutions.

Organic frames of sympathetic reference
and nonviolently communing dialects

Religiously Irritating History

Once upon a Roman Empire building time
a brilliantly pleasing boy was born
of humble Jewish means,
named Jesus.

Born into autocratic occupation,
to avoid military police threats
of mass Jewish male child murder,
Jesus and his mom and dad
became EastBound immigrants,
away from Western kleptocratic ruin.

Jesus was thereby exposed
to more Eastern polytheistic
and pantheistic polycultures
before returning home
to listen and learn literacy
from rabbinical monotheists.

In this time of foreign occupation,
Roman commanders policed and preyed upon
the prosperous
and innocent
and vulnerable

Creating a divide among the Rabbi leaders,
some siding with the Zealot Party
who wanted to overthrow fascist red Roman Rule
and thereby establish an Israel nation-state
reforming Judaism’s land-based theocracy
into more of a rabbinical nation-state
plutocracy.

Some rabbis found this too political
and not enough Jewish spiritual,
rooted in Promised Land natural
indigenous wisdom
enlightened by One SunGod Creator
shining more Torah manifestly
on His Chosen People
to be fruitful
and passionate pleasure prosper,
maintaining the open hospitality Way
10-commandment Truth
sacred green pasture
empowering promised land-based Life.

Jesus grew into a young messiah
Prince of SunFather’s enlightening Peace,
although surrounded by His Judaism Tribe,
hoping for a nation-building Zionist,
and not so much an advocate
of non-violent communicating serenity,
not reductively all about getting in the political
and economic face
of weaponized atrocities.

Despite lack of rabbinical support,
Jesus had a God is love for peace
gospel message
inspiring His HolyBody Spirit.

When asked if He supported paying tribute
to war- and fear-mongering Ceasar,
He said to give to Ceasar
what is capitalist coin-producing
empire-building Ceasar’s,
leaving unsaid the remainder

His religiously mature PeaceTribe
could continue their cooperative barter economy
and their Torah-teaching schools
and their walk a second mile
and turn the other cheek
gratitude Beatitudes,
to be known by their love for each other
and not by their hate against Other.

At every turn
Jesus lived and taught Love’s way of peace,
consistently giving religious preference
to restorative peace-making
rather than continuing with zealous Zionist
Chosen Nation retributive justice
against those who spoke other languages,
against those immigrating from Othered cultures
against those who had sinned
and fallen queerly short

Jesus’s consistent retort,
who among us hasn’t fallen short
of Love’s relentlessly religious
peace-making integrity?

While Jesus was sad,
tearful about disappointing his evangelical
IsraelFirst followers,
he promised that his compassion
pleasing presence
would become more democratically accessible
upon his panentheistic Holy Spirit/Nature’s return,
sacredly organic
mindfully embodied
blood and bread indigenously wise
inter-religious communion.

And to this day
authentic Christians are discerned
not by their fundamental
scripture-based orthodoxy
or their evangelical nationalistic patrimony
but by their liberally compassionate
Holy Spirit/Nature fruits.

Including,
but not necessarily limited by anything
or anyone
or any relationships
other than their demonic irreligious
fear- and anger- and hate-mongering opposites:

Peace: spiritual-mind/natural-body calm;
not unnatural/unspiritual chaos

Joy: deeply passionate contentment
not widely dispassionate discontent

Faith: spiritual-mind/natural-body confident curiosity;
not dispassionate/displeasing insecure Holier Than Thou

Kindness: compassionate care-giving;
not dispassionately unforgiving

Charity: passionately pleasing Christian [peace-making] love;
not dispassionately displeasing evangelical [just-war] disregard

Patience: thoughtfully engaging trauma’s dissonant degenerativity;
not thoughtlessly disengaging therapeutic resonant regenerativity

Gentleness: Graciously considerate religious practices
not disgraciously inconsiderate irreligious malpractices

Modesty: CreationCentered respectful humility;
not anthropocentric disrespectful greed

Goodness: Religiously moral integrity;
not nationalistic immoral hypocrisy

Longanimity (long-suffering): resilient re-ligious loyalty;
not fragile irreligious disloyalty

Self-control: engaging mind/body healthy opportunities;
not performing spirit-mind v nature-body unhealthy risks

Chastity: purity in associative actions;
not impurity in dissociative reactions.

And so it is
in this Make Christianity Healthy Again story
we might re-ligiously conclude

Zionism is to Judaism
in brilliant Prince of PeaceFull day
as Evangelism is to Christianity
in irreligiously dispassionate display

Dismay threatening to disintegrate
inter-religious peace-making
through merely MAGA nationalistic play.

What does this MindBody of Jesus say?

Sacred Conservation Conversation

Gregory Bateson:
Pathology is a relatively easy thing to discuss,
health is very difficult.

Laotse:
Pathology provokes a dysfunctional concern for attention,
organic health invokes a functional nonconcern
unless you have switched our cooperative evolution thrival
for your personal competitive revolution for survival.

Bateson:
…the sacred is difficult to talk about,
because the sacred is peculiarly related to the healthy.

Laotse:
Sacrilege of anthropocentric profanity is difficult to confront
so long as sacred Gaian ecological synergy
continues to unfold abundantly healthy
democratically wealthy
ergodic energy systems.

Bateson, on the history of Western religious culture:
The proposition for which they were burning each other was,
on one hand, ‘the bread is the body,’
and on the other, ‘the bread stands for the body.’
…this whole argument is one of fundamental importance
when related to the whole of the nature of the sacred
and to human nature….
the richest use of the word ‘sacred’
is that use which will say that what matters
is the combination of the two,
getting the two together
[panentheism].

Laotse:
When is feisty body-bread v divine-wine
not yet feeling a pathological stomachache?
When is yeasty bread and wine
not predicting a resonantly healthy bodymind?

Bateson:
Because it doesn’t make any prose sense,
the material of dream and poetry has to be more
or less
secret from the prose part of the mind.
It’s this secrecy,
this obscuration,
that the Protestant thinks is wrong,
and a psychoanalyst,
I suppose,
wouldn’t approve of either.
But that secrecy, you see,
is a protecting of parts of the whole process or mechanism,
to see that the parts don’t neutralize each other.

Laotse with Jaynes:
Because it doesn’t make any LeftBrain
Either Yang Or Yin dualistically oppositional
non-paradoxical orthodoxically logical sense
AND
RightBrain Both Yang And Yin nondualistically appositional
non-prosaic sacred mystery
of organically interdependent healthy history
Sexsensory re-membered
re-ligioned
re-woven
re-vived in love-life musing dreams
and polyphonic poetry
and sacred ecological positive co-relationships

Bateson:
What are you going to do about the use of the sacred?
There is a very strong tendency in occidental cultures,
and increasingly in oriental cultures,
to misuse the sacred.
You see,
you’ve got something nice [healthy],
central to your civilization,
which bonds together all sorts of values connected with love,
hate,
pain,
joy, and the rest,
a fantastic bridging synthesis,
a way to make life make a certain sort of [re-ligious] sense.
And the next thing is that people use that sacred bridge
in order to sell things….
We can be influenced, it seems,
by any confidence trickster,
who by his appeals
makes cheap that which should not be made cheap.

Laotse:
How are you going to invest in/divest of these organically sacred
ecosystemically panentheistic relationships?
We have pronoia appositions polyculturing beauty
and paranoid oppositions monoculturing ugly,
kind and not kind,
in anthropocentric colonization
as in EarthCentric creolization,
bonding together all economic capitalist wealth
monotheistically autocratic disvalues
within all ecologically healthy
polytheistically democratic
positive co-relational values
our empathic trusts with our ecopolitical distrusts and immunities.

Those who would reduce organically panentheistic Earth
to what can be anthropocentrically bought and sold,
cheapen that robust polyculturing climax
which could OtherWise become even more densely
wildly
indigenously resonant,
resiliently rich.

Bateson:
…while it may be fairly easy to recognize moments
at which everything goes wrong,
it is a great deal more difficult
to recognize the magic of the moments that come right;
and to contrive those moments
is always more or less impossible….
to make human relations prosper is exceedingly difficult.

Laotse:
Recognizing moments at which everything goes wrong
as tipping points,
time to win and win appositionally depolarize
win v lose 0-sum risks of mono-protagonist
ir-religiously paranoid anger management
into opportunities of and for more panentheistic
re-ligious pronoia love re-development,
to consistently
predictably
normatively
climatically invite faithfulness toward co-empathic
de-polarizing
democratizing
creolizing panentheistic trust.

Bateson:
We are [monotheistically] arrogant about what we might know tomorrow,
but humble because we know [feel] so little today.

Laotse:
We are Yang-overflowing about what we may know of Yintegrity’s potential tomorrow,
co-arising Yang v Yin
ego’s neurosystemic organic humility
within Yang+Yin-ecosystemic sacred
SunFather enlightening
EarthMother empowering
win/win panentheistic tranquility.

Just Say Yes Is Not Speaking No

Just say yes
to not yet gone
not yet going against your way
not yet becoming distrusted distanced dissonance.

Those of us more blessed in the Pronoia Psychology department,
and yet perhaps all of us somewhat more win/win therapeutically
not opaquely winner v loser traumatized,
enjoy healthy qualities of life that we all do want,
and an equal quantity of negative appositional qualities
that we would do better
healthier
and more rationally
without.

These are, by definition,
and by comparison with their more positive counterparts,
pathological,
as resonance recovers from dissonance,
eco-pleasure from ego-pain.

As democratic integrity grows
to expose late-great disintegrating autocratic transitions,
as a healthy Earth climate recovers
from comparatively compromised
unhealthy nationalistic
and anthropocentric subclimates.

We all want more beauty
so less ugly.
We want more good health eruption
and less bad wealth corruption.

More trusted religious
pronoia climaxing truth
so less distrusted irreligious
paranoid collapsing untruths.

We all want more sacred outside places and spaces and times
and resilient WholeEarth climate paradigms
so less inside pathologizing of organic heart and body and mind
and resonant polycultural rhymes.

We all want more compelling economic and political relationships
and less rabidly dispelling trauma
distrust
and disempowering xenophobic hatred.

We all want more prosperous democratic power-with
so less unprosperous autocratic power-against;
or do we?

We all need neither too much uneasy spiritual sectarianism
nor too little easy natural organic intersectionalism.

We all want our Self and significant Other
co-empathic optimizing time
delivered neither too late for Self
nor too soon for Other.

These co-arising
co-binary
Tipping Point double-binding appositions
of +1 PolyNomial EgoSpace and -(-0) BiNomial EcoTime
mutually shared polypathic MindHere/BodyNow wants,
with our NonPolynomial oppositional not-wants.

We all need more peaceful
inter-religiously resonant order,
so less stressful
irreligious dissonant chaos now,
to stay spaciously enlightened
and timelessly co-empowered here
and now

Neither too SacredEgoMind soon
nor too OrganicEcoBody late,
but just rightly polyvagally peacefully balanced here
on tipping bilateral points
toward eternally rational
ecologically co-relational
positively polymathic musicians here
pronoia musing now.

We all need
not too soon is not too late
quality of EgoMind/EcoBody co-intelligence
bicameral space/time co-binaries

Not wanting
too little sacred AnthroPeace
dancers Here
not wanting
too distant organic EarthJustice
dancing Now

Just say yes to loving life
not yet gone,
not yet going against your democratic way
not yet becoming distrusted
distanced

BeComing ReBorn Again

Elder RightBrain felt compassions never die,
they simply enter colonizing peak
and complexly exit creolizing deep
erotic/agapic sexsensory sleeps
co-arising passion’s positive redemption

Not quite so much ecstatically felt
in our first inhale longing breath
as in our last surrendered exhale

Synergetic belonging
co-redeeming breathless pleasure,
however unrequited,
resiliently touches sacred peace
with all indigenously resonant souls

ReGenerating EarthTribe’s healthy heartbeat way

first inhaling birth of longing truth

SoulFood Recipes for Peace

Rob Brezsny reports
In 2004, San Rafael hosted a World Conference of Soul-Making
resulting in three schools for best PeaceMaking practices,
to which I will add one
more democratically inclusive,
less autonomously exclusive.

“The Ruminators
theorized that humans are born without [divine] souls
and can create them only through arduous,
disciplined rebellion against all [trauma-informed] belief systems.

The Resonators
agreed that soul [peace] isn’t innate,
but insisted that soul-making is by no means difficult
…gathering good [health-humor] stories is effective [necessary]
and not at all hard [resiliently sufficient].

The Revelators
said every [individual] person is born with a [peace-full monotheistic] soul
in seed form,
and need only discover the [organic] ‘blueprint’
of that [individual] seed
in order to attract the [anthropocentric] experiences
necessary to draw out its [integrity’s] potential.”

Regenerators
win/win hypothetically agree with all of the above,
born with a potential integrating peace seed,
we struggle with systemic traumas
win v lose dualistic pathological dramas
painfully dissociative
devolutionary ruminations
yet also
celebrate our greatest Gaian Synergy Story
of inter-religiously ecological
cooperative revolutionary culminations
resonantly anticipating
health-climaxing wealth
of panentheistic pronoia.

Re-ligiously con-scientious peace-making
within universally engaged
neurosystemic unitarian mindbody
and
compassionately pleased
ecosystemic bodymind

Re-membering roundly resonant Gaia’s
mystical polyamorous vulnerability
historical pronoia transparency
anticipating interdependent EarthTribe’s
soul-communing peace communications.

Once again, adding a culminating four-fractal fold
to three interdependent dimensions
closes a four-season healthy
regeneratively wealthy
peace-development story

Inviting our polyculturally expectant revisit
for yet more win/win synergetic soul food

Re-ligiously feeding spiritual Resonator minds of
con-scientiously breeding natural Revelator bodies for
re-viving more sacredly co-passionate Ruminators singing
organically co-pleasuring ReGenerator Muses
dancing EarthPeace soul.

PolyAmorous Intelligence

Intelligence,
including, but not limited to,
human intelligence,
begins with nurturing mutually beneficial exchange systems,
discerning what might be healthy
to consume and produce
with present organic environments
and
for future sacred regenerations

As virtuously contrasted against
what might be a more toxic survivalist economy
competing for unilateral control over alien pests
and immigrating parasites.

Intelligence enjoys empowering pleasures
and root-systemic primal passions
of our gastro-economic incoming nature
and outgoing nurture

Rather than narrow-minded
and constipated anthropomorphic entitlement
to hoard composting-capital resources
on the backs of MotherEarth’s naturally co-present
wealth resources
and future spiritual health-nurturing regenerations
of interdependently co-intelligent
brain neuro-passioned
and body eco-pleasuring organisms

Re-ligiously reconnecting
organic reweaving economics
and future regenerating
root-systemic
primally thriving interdependence
of polyculturally climaxing democracies

Reviving
re-membering
re-exchanging ecologically intelligent
winAnthro/winEarth co-binary nurturing
natural networks of multi-sexsensory
health-rooted
co-passionate pleasure

Our GoldenRule ecological kindness transactions,
and not pathologically monopolistic meanness distractions,
optimize authentic win/win strength
of integrity’s democratically co-present resonance
while insuring future economic resilience.

If Kant had been a health-care doctor
or a better wise-life historian
he might have concluded

We eat and drink and breathe,
flow in and force out
voice up and choice down
sing love and dance life,
therefore we are

Thriving primal co-intelligence
with maturing inter-re-ligious peace dividends,
less discontinuously apartisan
dismembering pathological

Therefore we are not
merely win/lose survivalist
anthropocentrically narcissistic carnivores

Autocratically over-grazing
rabidly razing
ignorantly appraising
gluttonously eating
and drunkenly drinking
desecrating and dis-organizing
mean futures
for lean unseen
monotheistic Anthropocene
against re-ligiously intelligent
future regenerations.

Co-empathic GoldenRule intelligence,
including polypathic human resonance
consuming grace and producing kin-kind intelligence

Resiliently and brilliantly re-begins
with neuro-sexsensory developing mindbodies
living in and on,
for and of,
organically networking
ecologically economic
Gaia-Pronoia MotherEarth

Healthy body
wealthy mind
win/win democratically empowering

WeedPatch Therapy

What words do we choose to express our ultimate accomplishments,
achieving our healthiest goals,
measuring our most successful outcomes?

Why do these words,
and our feelings about these choices,
wave in and out of happiness and prosperity,
even when quantitative measures suggest our resilience
continues to trend up and out toward infinite resonance?

We say we could become anything,
but do we mean we might achieve everything,
every power,
but not necessarily any time or way we choose?
How does WinWin associative integrity
accommodate WinLose dissociative history?

Integral PolyCulturists,
global environmental wealth therapists,
holistic health practitioners,
favorably contrast polycultural climax
with monocultural collapse
into rabidly aggressive “weed” patches,
where “responsible owner”
investment “planner”
intelligent “controller”
master “gardener” you
imagined your organically healthy
and sacred-beauty wealthy
well-groomed and wellness-inviting front yard–
rather than an uninvited cancerous infestation
where you intended to extend your healthy ego identity.

We might hope to become more adept polyamorous achievers
by acclimating to less anthropocentric monopolistic aspirations,
competitive Anthropocene climates of self-inspiration
too privileged to care about other-expiration

win/lose survivalist desperations
becoming uncontrollably messy “weed patch” subclimates,
stubbornly monolithic

EarthNatural disgrace
defeating HumanSpiritual grace
of concomitant eco-trust and ego-faith
in cooperatively resonant
win/win well-being resilience

ReCognizing ego’s always limited
co-empathic feelings

Healthy anthropocentric neurosystems
don’t require unwealthy Anthropocene ecosystems
anymore than good love-life days
require bad fear-death nights

Measuring out divine successes
and inhumane failures
day by day,
decade by decade,
life against life survival contests,
invidious “weedpatch” comparisons,
virtuous win/win AnthroMind/EarthBody contrasts,
each and all co-arising
polycultural integrity’s nondualistic potential.

Yet, like Yangish competitive AnthroEnlightenment
over all Lesser Othered-Lives
and Yin’s gooier cooperative co-empathic win/win powers
with Others,
these opposing bilaterals
are also dynamically recycling appositional revolutions

Neurosystemic health within
as ecosystemic wealth without
co-intelligent exchange,
searching for words and deeds
to optimally extend pronoia’s tensegrity
sacredly resonant synergy
organically resilient neuro/eco-therapy,
softly contentious sustainable contentment

Peace through EarthTribe solidarity
and cooperatively-held flexibility,
in-between victimization and virtualization,
in-between LeftBrain doer verbalizations
and RightBrain feeler harmonizations,
in-between monotheistic Anthropocene optimization
and polytheistic EarthCentric integration

An omnipotently
and omnipresently complex neuro/ecosystemic
win/win contentment
and yet often feeling win/lose transitionally chaotic
contentious

An overwhelmingly monolithic “weedpatch” of despair
further polarizing any active hope
of middle-ground integrity’s
AnthroMind/EarthBody repair.

With healthy democracy tools
for front lawn re-landscaping,
monocultures begin to feel like painful resources,
artifacts of pleasure passionate polyculturing Elders

With trust and good-faith wellness
co-governing more ecosystemically wealthy
and neurosystemically healthy
Anthro-crown/Earth-root therapeutic
inter-religiously resonant
and multiculturally resilient
thriving love-life futures.

What looked like monopolistic alien powers over little benign-ego me,
begin to also feel like restoring peace opportunities
with what remains from our former shared polypathic
NeuroAnthroMind/EcoEarthBody co-empathic
passion/pleasure
mind/body therapeutic depolarizing co-identity

ReWeaving promise,
never beginning re-ligious omnipotence
and ever ending dissociative omnipresence,
timelessly wealthy
front lawn win/lose “weedpatch” reseeding
healthy win/win spaciousness.

CoPassionate edible trust
with ornamental beauty pleasure
enlightening resilient climate Nature
continuously co-arise
old composted death
into new life change,
but these are transitions
that have historically favored multiculturally democratic health
and disfavored autocratic “weedpatch” pathology.

All robustly polycultural landscapes
lead to a more globally wealthy Home,
but AnthroPrivileged LeftBrain liberating verbal intelligence
chooses which directions to healthy-democracy walk
and which to unsafe-autocracy avoid

and when it’s time to win/lose contentiously pick up
and to win/win contentedly slow down
our WholeEarth peace-making pace

Calmly anticipating
leaving no anthropocentric weedpatch behind
monotheistically uncared for
and panentheistically neglected.

CareFueling Charges

I was charged with a misdemeanor,
based on witnesses
who imagined they heard me saying I was leaving
without a note,
even though I knew
I dinged a new red truck’s door.

I know they saw my oppositionally defiant daughter
and her careless caregiver like that
but that’s because they could not also imagine hearing

I was the driver ahead of them
holding out a 5 or 10
or even a 20,
if that was the least I had,
to any wounded person beside the road
wearing a self-made sign:
Homeless [unperson]
Please help me.

I cannot always pass
these dinged up opportunities to help.

You see I have an oldest son
now twenty-one
who is not quite right
and tries his best
but
finding and keeping a peaceful train of thought,
much less a long-term training job,
is hard for understudied him
and so he stays where he may be safely hidden
despite what resilient love can ill afford,
to rest on Other’s dime and time.

I never pass a chance to help
when need for help is obvious
as the tears we face
when humanity feels disgraced,
effaced by race,
knowing only left behind
to do the best I can
to ask us to be better, we can,
to help when They anxiously approach Us
with life’s disturbing concerns.

I make it my business to always try win/win
when someone’s in our loser mess.
It would be too out of co-empathic character
to know me as these have heard,
doing my best to avoid
a dinged your door responsibility,
because of a defiant mess I caused

I have no self-interest to not confess
and then open my eager to be warmed wallet,
already too long-suffering of privileged neglect.

But I do confess,
these are all my messes,
and yours as well.

We have too often acclimated
to this win/lose monopolistic culture,
where we do not actively care
for one another
outside our religious classrooms,
so not inside our codependent walls,
echoing with dispassionate either saved
or sinner,
not a winner.

I hope to heal your mess we cause
as gently and lovingly as I so hope
someone right now will find love’s faith to see
within my homeless not quite right son’s asking eyes:

Would you help me
fix us?
Do you know yet again
already,
we are in win/win grace together,
or we are out to fall and lose
winner v loser disgraced
apart?

If you see him
let him go
do not scold him
by his show

Be less mean and mad
in co-empathic care’s return.

Try with me to relearn
he’s done his almost best
to get Winner v Loser anxiety
more religiously right,
less desecrating wrong,
next irreligiously Othered time.

So feel free to lavish praise
on how close he might have come
to doing better healthcare wealth.
This helps him, and you,
feel and remember better kindness kin
and perhaps even rather less than worse
original dissociative sin.

It would be my misdemeanor
to not do my best
wherever I see our mess
and yet
I confess
I cannot always see sin
in this interdependent swaying way.

These watchers and listeners and speakers against me
must also misunderstand,
yet perhaps that’s all to life’s good

Makes me wonder
how they would re-imagine me
if they had recognized that old white guy in front,
stopped to say a privileged yes
to each unhoused
unloved
dinged up mess.

Could we all take and give
better time enough
to just say healthy yes
to wealthy benefits
of religiously straight
monopolistically white
patriarchal winners
re-engaging co-empathic win/win enrichment
with our internal Non-Othering
Gaia Hypothetical side.

On our best
doing our almost less mess
cooperatively co-passionate
interdependently reweaving
not dark night
and not worst play

sacred Earth still co-revolving
another organically living
lovely day.
