Bicameral Gratitude

OK class, now listen up and down,
in and out,
said Professor Fuller Watts,
professing political philosophy 404.

We begin with a deductive
reductive
object lesson,
then spread out across inductive intuitive
universal information and self-governing intelligence,
of co-mentored gratitude.

I will speak in bipartisan political language
because it shouts at us, all too familiar,
but I have an underlying assumption
that each of us has some Republican
and some Democrat within our veinish minds
and hearts and lungs,
and all those other organic parts.

Our Republican nationalistic patriotic side
leans toward universalism,
just as our bipolar Democratic global citizen side
leans toward unitarianism.

Party leaders want us to believe
we cannot have our peacefilled cake
and eat balancing economic political justice too,
which may help them pay their mortgages
but does not help me or you.

To my Republican dominant friends:
You continue not beating yourselves up
for unhealthy chronic economic dissonance
within Earth’s potential for interdependent nutritionally sustainable outcomes,
to retain your Business As Usual dislogic,
anti-ecologic,
irrational economic sub-optimization standards
for measuring this quarter’s success,
to sustain high-risk monocultural design assumptions,
killing our collective national and global future
for our species
and most other organic subsystems
within this Polyculture Tree of Good and Reverse-Temporal eviL.

To my Democratic unitarian co-mentors
with mutually messianic intent:
You continue beating yourselves up
for redemptive healthy cognitive-affective-intuitive
dissonance
about balancing Yang with YinYin,
competing appositions within Win-Win logistics,
still disharmonizing your republican universalist anthems
with your democratically unitarian psalms.

In the election year we refuse to choose
Republic or Democrat
and insist on balancing both
endosymbiotically,
within our interior bicameral landscapes,
and ectosymbiotically,
as our exterior bicameral universal-unitarian landscape,
we will more intelligently pursue policies and procedures
reflecting polyculturally inclusive development
rather than a competitive,
monopolistic,
self-marginalizing monoculture of supremely ludicrous speciation.

As we learn to balance our Republican Yangish Left hemispheres
with our Democratic YinYin Right hemisphere’s double-bound unitarianism,
we emerge more authentically as mutually benign parasites
nurtured by one nondually co-arising,
organically self-organizing
holistic iconic Host.

Now, stepping back to Universal Principle of Thermodynamic Balance:
embodied (republic) Universe is also incarnate (democratic synergy) In-Formation,
bicamerally “self” conscious
as Universal Intelligentling Thanksgiving Time.

Our DemoRepublic Species
eats and senses healthy-wealthy nutrients
through nondual-transparent ergodics
of DNA eisegetics
dancing to RNA’s temporal-fractal exe-genesis.

If Republicans have cornered the monocultural market
on Polynomially deductive information,
then Democrats’ optimal healthy-wealth
is Not-Not Polynomial Polycultural Balance,
a bipartisan political field party
serving only organically and locally enthymematic economics
and politically grateful graceful relationships.

Note: This piece combines the philosophy of Alan Watts with Buckminster Fuller’s synergetics, especially his teleological metaphysic of Universal Intelligence, as iconized by RNA/DNA fractal-syntax of nature’s self-regenerative cooperating gratitude for life, including decay, perhaps as reverse-sequential; information, including ex-formation; both positively and negatively ionic energy.

Fuller Wattage Please!

Alan as Buckminster
delivers Fuller Watts.

Left-Brain partisans of deductive “prickles”
and Right-Brain partisans of inductive “goo”
have reduced their mutually antagonistic arguments
into something resembling a pile of boorish poo.

Prickly Republicans are tough-minded,
rigorous competitors,
precise calculators of economic wealth priorities.

Meanwhile,
Gooey Democrats are tender-minded romanticists
loving wide generalizations
and grand syntheses,
like this one,
so I guess we all know my enculturation history
and gooey ecological health proclivity.

Robert Norton
commends optimizing communication
between Prickly and Gooey,
and all the GooeyPricklies in between,
commence with Zero-Soul enthymemes
of nondual co-arising consciousness.

Similarly,
C. G. Jung
commends optimizing Great Transitional Revolutions
through historical-cultural enantiodromia,
the Tipping Point of co-arising cultural gravitation,
attaining our extreme Left-Brain dominant moment,
points where we begin to turn into its own deduced Midway,
of Left-Right co-arising bilateral consciousness,
that nomials are relational verbs,
coherently binomial
Convexly Yangish Prickle
with Concavely YinYin Goo.

Co-gravitating consciousness is positive polynomial
consciousness of nature’s intelligent in-formation,
confluent awareness,
including comprehension of cognitive/emotive dissonance
as emotional obscuration
is everything else we might know
as eco-identified Prime Zero-Relational
square-rooted fractal Soul.

Co-arising coincidence of experience and knowledge
redeems interdependent purpose-meaning assumptions
as reiteratively enthymematic enantiodromio dipolar syntax
evolves cooperatively confluent eco-normic in-formation forward,
as synergetics predicts and optimizes
coincidental Universal Intelligence outcomes
of inclusive diverse natures,
including PrickleGoo
as Yang/Yin bilaterally balancing space-time,
co-gravitationally comprehensive consciousness.

Relationship says Yes! positive
as double-binding mutual immunity
murmurs not-not yet…

PrickleGoo Co-Arise our Polycultural Revolution,
love your mutual antagonism as mutual self-immunity,
complete our universal unitarian speciating identity
of nature’s zero-soul prime ecto/endo symbiosis.

Ecotherapy is to ecological health
as Ego’s Co-PrickleGoo Balance is to eco-normic wealth.

Bucky’s Wealth of Information

Universal information,
like forms of multisystemic diversity,
is composed of fractal syntax,
primally illustrated by noticing RNA,
then DNA,
binomially re-cognizing bilateral temporal memory
as formative id-entity.

Polynomial is to in-form-ionization
as polycultural outcomes are to universal
organic
life-systemic
syntax.

Not-Not Poynomial unitarianism
is both entropic and synergetic-fractal Time bilateral.

Not-Polynomial is neutronic-entropic.

While Double-Negative-Binding Polynomial ex-form-bionization
re-connects double-transparently gravitational ergodic
with ionic/bionic balancing primal syntropic relationship.

Neutronic bipolar information exerts, exforms, exhumes, exhales
a bicameral balancing influence
within our neural systems,
seeking Left-Right dual-transparent-equivalent confluence,
deductive with inductive,
masculine with feminist.

In absence of this abundant neutral Win-Win
neural system normativity,
Ego-Left deductive
remains in diverse stages
of critical-event cognitive/affective/uneffective dissonance,
which can lead to autistic chronic dissonant patterns
of harmonic chaos
between Left’s deductive sensory receptors
and Right’s inductive Elder-RNA Zero-Commons Centric
fractal syntaxed memory storage
and eco-identity patterns,
seasonal as reasonal rhythms
of permacultural optimization regenesis
and co-operative development of Whole Earth organics.

Why do we fear,
self-immunizing subsistence,
mutual resistance?

Why do we love
eco-centric co-arising surrender,
mending,
tending spacetime’s brilliantly fractal-syntactic
synaptic burning bushes of divine humane genius,
natural-spiritual pilot lights,
unveiling polypathic intuition of abundant consciousness?

This HereNow Transmillennial ReGeneration
Be-Longing Co-Redeemers as Co-Operative Global Commune,
with economic Zero-Sum Commons values,
engage positive Zero-Centric ecopsychological practice,
humor’s common sense of permacultural
self-perpetuating redesign
of double-knotting naughty negatives
to produce reproductive positives,
reconnecting what could not not become,
both more and less than already is co-relational.

Co-Revolutionary Boddhisatva Mentors:
breathe in with out
our polynomially double-binding universal fractals
of EcoLogic,
tri-metric seasonal spacetimes of logical redevelopment
unfolding outstretched universal uniting breathe
of time with eco-depth,
re-creation through double-negation
of Winter’s bilateral-temporal discontenting
decomposition,
reverse facing regenerative eco-open analogical systems.

What did we think could not be co-incidental
co-arising/co-gravitating
about rhythms of dissonance
and epicentering patterns
of ecology’s Zero-Balancing
as P=NNP
as Yang=YinYin,
Win-Win co-operative economics?

Nondual co-arising revolution,
building ecological and economic cooperative networks
for positive ecopsychological
polycultural investment,
to cool our post-climatic brow
trending toward flat-line deadly endo/ectosymbiotic trends
of devolving
decomposing competition
between AllEarth’s Health
and HumanNatured Wealth.

Earth Rights

In which ways were you and I born equal?
Equal rights to live,
to breathe,
to sustain our bodies,
our familial relationships
with sufficient nutrients
of taste and sound and sight
smell and feeling and insight,
to express our truth with integrity,
with cooperative purpose and intent.

Yet, in all these senses of equal rights of persons
it feels insufficient to notice justice within human rights.
All living nature has regenerative intelligence of memory
and interdependent purpose,
sharing global rights of ecojustice.

All Earth Tribes cooperatively,
ecotherapeutically,
share a rightness for breathing clean air,
to sustain our incarnate being
with sufficient nutrients of sensory absorption,
the mutuality of co-gravitation,
the cosmic balance of thermodynamics
and global electromagnetics
and revolving synergetics,
positive balancing double-negative
eco-biometric function and flow capacities,
to optimally improve our shared quality of well-being.

Health rights for all endosymbiotic evolutions of all Earth’s Tribes,
as one united cooperatively networked confederacy
of Species and Systems,
all organs and cellular and quantum functions
of all naturally yang-deductive:yin-inductively organized
bionic mutually informating systems.

All EarthTribe, together, enjoys equal rights,
responsibiities and authorities for optimal health,
sustainable ecotherapeutic quality
and value for solidarity
born of mutually subsidiary gratitude,
indigenous to natural ecojustice relationships.

Earth Rights are not limited
by kindness or unkindness
by justice or humanity;
natural rights
and lefts
resolve our balancing energy of time.

On Eco-Logical Economics

If you have not read Riane Eisler’s “The Real Wealth of Nations” (2012) and John Michael Greer’s “Wealth of Human Nature” (2011), please do at least read one or the other.

Eisler thinks it is time to replace an overly-dominant, capital-based, competitive cultural understanding of Business As Usual Means Marginalized Lives Don’t Matter, evolved through the Industrial Age. She contrasts this with our “real”, but undervalued wealth of nurturance and care-giving. This is an explicit feminist perspective on economics and the logic and balance of ecologically-informed economics. My only complaint is not about what she has written, but about the “sin” of omitting all the vast financial and cultural research on co-operative economics, which seems to incorporate values for recycling, repurposing, rehabilitation, zero carbon footprint lifestyle intentions, as well as the organizing of co-operatives around child care, elder care, household cleanliness and order, landscaping, cooking and preserving, gardening and farming.  These are all cultural elements of what Thich Nhat Hanh would encourage us to think of as a nurturing-nutritional economy v. a domineering-toxic environment of oppressing and suppressing our natural and ecological instincts.

John Michael Greer’s analysis of our capital/commodity competitive Business As Usual economics-as-financial-transaction monopoly and monotony is entirely symbiotic with Eisler’s blistering critique.  His alternative trend view is more eco-logically focused as a logic that is our undervalued HUMAN natural wealth. If we follow what is ecologically rational more, and avoid further investment in what is merely more competitive ego-investment of an anthro-culturally supremacist species, we may have more sustainable hope for our collective future. Like Eisler, however, Greer fails to take that one additional ecological step, to notice that organic living nature is essentially co-operative until the point when trends start moving toward decay and devolution.  Economics, whether competitively-rooted in Win-Lose capitalist Game Theory, or cooperatively-rooted in Win-Win positive evolutionary Game Theory, is relational network praxis of ecological systemic intent, continuing our cultural revolution toward comprehensive consciousness.

Transactions and relationships are synonymous as reiteratively equivalent communication strings of memory and cultural history, whether we are speaking of micro-economics, or macro-economics, or both.  Our prime ecological assumption is that we live in a positively co-operative evolutionary environment, too often troubled by negatively competing Win-Lose strategies and logistics assuming a shortage of “wealth” resources, which may be reminiscent of Anderson’s “Emperor with No Clothes.” If the socioeconomic and too-long encultured pathology of over-valuing competition are precisely what point to their own nakedly devolving and decomposing future, then hope dawns with this red horizon; our socioeconomic therapy is a deeper permacultured economics of co-operative ecology, design, and developmental praxis.

At the micro-economic personal and familial and local community levels, I have found the following areas of discernment on “Win-Lose Competition Economics” v. “Win-Win Co-Operative Economics” useful:

  1. Purchasing decisions: Housing, transportation, utilities, food, insurance come immediately to mind as having rich potential to benefit our shared environment and my personal checking account and the quality of my relationships with family and neighbors when approached with a “Group Purchasing Co-Operative” intention.  When do I need a car and when do I not, and do I know other people, or is there some way I could get to know other people, who might answer that question in a way that is mutually compatible with my answer?
  2. Investment decisions: Insurance shows up here again, with retirement investment, and even regular savings and checking account relationships with financial institutions and companies who will use my payments to invest in what, exactly? I am increasingly uncomfortable with knowing that many insurance and financial corporations are taking my capital and investing it in Business As Usual, especially as it occurs to me that there are ways to invest in cooperative funds investing solely in my region of habitat, excluding those businesses with toxic outcomes for our shared environment, other species, and also for their employees, and giving preference to investments in worker- and resident-cooperative ownership.
  3. Relational decisions: While purchasing and investment are also relational, we usually think of them as transactions. So, this broader category continues to evolve on my own path toward a more comprehensive ecological co-operative consciousness. How do I choose to respond to messages from my own family that betray contention between egocentrism and eco-logical balance?  These are at least potential opportunities for some rich conversation about what we value, including sustainability of life, and what we disvalue. As I am now well-immersed in my twilight years, it becomes increasingly obvious that what I have always enjoyed about my internal contentions is how they have a way of resolving most resonantly when my egocentric left-brain embraces my ecocentric right-brain’s intuitions for right-relationship, for what is, after all, transparently eco-logical.

Eisler and Greer both point to some public policy and priority changes that would help each of us sustain our ego-eco alignment. I agree with all of this agenda.  I further believe that the principles and ethics of Permaculture could be more broadly applied to any evolutionary paradigm for relationships, transactions, actions, being and becoming on planet Earth, within our bodies and families and neighborhoods and ecosystems. Some principles that feel permacultural, but may not appear in your sustainable agriculture text:

  1. Never give up. Always, whenever possible, give downstream to enrich solidarity with those living more marginally than you are. This applies to investment and purchasing decisions, as well as all relational discernment.
  2. Don’t give out after struggling and suffering against; always give in while struggling and suffering with others, nature, human nature, your own ecologic.
  3. The best case scenario for sustaining  a Win-Lose Game, is to embrace Win-Win logistics and strategies whenever you can find a regenerative way to do so. Otherwise, the ecological long-term conclusion of Win-Lose ego-domination logistics is you might possibly win, but only after everyone else understands themselves as “losers” in your eyes; a pyric victory with deadening cost to water, soil, air, and the former wealth of human nature.

PermaCulture PreOccupations

Beloved
whether you or another
or your Community of practice and positive intent,
your family, perhaps,
Beloved.

Beloved evolves that alternative future
of our dreams and hearts and fantasy
with ecotherapeutic enculturation
and ecojustice with active peaceful history,
long sustained-maintained eco-RNA value
centrist cultural history.

Beloved evolves both endo- and ecto-symbiotic,
both within my Yang-Ego,
and without, our Yin-Eco RNA-encrypted life-cell
electromagnetic and thermodynamic and gravity waving balance.

Beloved evolves binomially,
in and out,
toward our Omega Point Aquarian Age
of synchronized swimming flight and breath,
freedom from unnecessarily coercive restraints
blocking freedom toward confluent relationship,
in aqua-marine spiraling seasons
of revolutioning synergy;
reconnecting comprehension of RNA’s original conception.

Beloved climax-sustainable,
mutual Communication maintainable,
co-redemption of our recycling-rehabilitating identities.

Beloved co-redeemers optimizing life’s calculated risks
as liturgical dance and prayer of diurnal practice,
seasonal intent,
millennial bicameral balancing purpose and meaning,
polycultural cooperative
revolutioning climax
karmic praxis of life through death in life reborn.

Beloved
mutual inception and absorption
Community conception and reception,
comprehension of each living system’s optimization
as liturgical dance and prayer with, in, of, for, by, through,
engaging and embracing
both the within and without of each Other,

Positive EcoTherapeutic Outcomes: Cost Analysis

My long-winding EcoTherapist began:

Dialectic Behavioral Therapy sees Stimulus/Response
both forward and backward in time,
to look for thoughts and feeling tipping points
toward more harmonic confluence,
resonant and requisite proportional behaviors
and imaginings
of what may be justly and non-violently discerned
for future reference.

Meanwhile,
Compassion Therapy looks within these same S/R behavioral events,
reconnecting “SuperEgo” role as eco-logical teacher,
to evolve and mentor our mutual invite,
to respond with equivalent compassion,
react with mindfulness of Ego’s holonic
and mutual
and ubiquitously coincidental Prime Relationship
with EcoTao-centered Reason, Intent, Wisdom,
word choice,
feeling,
optimally receiving LeftBrain’s Natural Law deducted principles
of Right-At-Home compassionate ecotherapeutic orthopraxis.

Between collective manically competitive hysteria
and suicidal absorption toward depressive self-intent
Lies Tao’s Wisdom Midway,
bicamerally balancing between
schizophrenic bipolar self-absorption
into the godhead of Universal Intelligence,
and paranoid messages from Evil
that “Ego” is at grave risk
of both short- and long-term economic
and bi-0-logical extinction.

Between these way-too-polypathic extremes
lies polyculturing compassion
for human natural systems
both within–YangEgo,
and without–YinEco.

Fair trade cost for ecotherapeutic outcomes
is the ecojustice we redemptively invest
give-forward, fore-give
within ourselves,
each Other,
and Solar Systemic Earth’s regenerate destiny,
as teacher,
mutual listener,
and Beloved.

Once Upon this TransMillennial Time

Once within eternal time
of pre-bicameral lack of language,
and imaginative recreation,
I recall breathing in my Lover’s richly hued nutrition,
and my Lover inhaling mine,
purging Elder lungs of misperceptions
that I owned Her
any more or less
than she wanted me.

We owned this natural dialectic breath together,
coincidentally,
back and forth,
in and out.

It could not yet occur to me
that I might one day purchase or sell
what owned me
at least as much as I owned Her.

She felt so omnipresently
all-powerfully
self-optimizingly powerfully Present toward me.
To imagine owning her
would be like my benignly intended parasitic self
attempting to own or purchase or redeem my Host;
only synergetic consciousness could prevent this image
from growing anthropocentric hubris.

This shared stewardship assumption
of shamanic Elder past
gave way to defense of ownership,
with breathing in as predative,
and breathing out as prey,
predict-active and pray-passive,
as original sin of economic shortages
were born of anthro-centric perception:
There’s just not enough for all.

Now we begin to teach our kids
to consume and produce,
decompose logical assumptions
to regenerate ecological conclusions,
Earth-sustaining sufficiency,
stay focused on breathing in and out
with more comprehensive compassion
and equanimity,
cooperative ecotherapeutic praxis
following our collective ecojustice inhale.

Then our kids reminded us
of how it feels to lack space of place
to evolve more polyculturally
midst all the weedpatch of dislogical value
hoarded riches and lack of wisdom,
overly-commodified competing misunderstandings
of how to sync what we breath in
with how we would love to be breathed out, again.

This TransUniverse Regeneration
of balancing bicameral breath,
both Yin-in and Yang-out,
wanders and fears owning real estate,
real de-natured order of any kind,
as egocentric breathing entities,
corporations,
nations,
tribes,
persons;
while wondrously and synergetically
claiming Prime Relationship
of Sun God Progenitive Yang Energy
and Mother Earth’s Regenerative Yin
self-gravitating Mass,
our liturgy of octave dance and song.
permaculturating prance of
OmniEco Omega Point
incarnating collective breathing in
what EarthTribe has blown out.

Upon this TransMillennial Tipping Point,
we breath in prehension of OutsideYang’s ecologic
but retain IdEntity of InsideYin regenerative economy
becoming wise discernment of all RNA’s EarthTribe.
Sharing EarthTribe of this world,
Human Nature redeems what has appeared cut up,
And revolutions again toward now bicamerally re-balancing
innocence of mortal double-binding time.

Emerging conscious comprehension of binomial balanced light,
yet absorbing binary double-negative Dark Night
becomes our Midway Model of all ReGenerate Systems.
Being balancing principle for all EarthTribe,
we grow eternal power to predict
polynomially positive prime principle inhales,
And exhales Prime (0)-Nomial
of double negative polynomials, again.

Wanting ubiquitous honor and glory
OmniEco core identity remains nocturnally obscure
remains cooperative fertile valley Tipping Point
of EarthTribe’s Omega Time.
Being as EarthTribe’s OmniPresentTime,
Becoming eternal wisdom power
to discern what sustainably suffices,
To revolve nature’s bicameral integrity
of OmniEco’s Omega Point, again.

Deductive breaking up of natural systems
Humane systems design and shape
biosystemic wellness strategies and tools
for binary-bicameral discernment.
In the hands of Laws and Policy,
ecotherapy becomes ecojustice,
if and when,
we cease to sever
what Earth breaths in
from universally intelligent in-formation we breath out,
with OmniPolyculturating
Universe-Self-Optimizing
Original Teleological Intent.

But, this too remains Once within eternal time
of re-bicameral decomposing language,
and this is TransMillennial Tao Here and Now
Yang with Yin
Out with In,
Breathing Out
with Breathing In,
ReGenerate, Again.

Note: This piece frames a post-millennial context to compose something like a transposition of Laotse’s “Keeping to the Female” (Wisdom of Laotse, Modern Library, Lin Yutang, 1948, pp. 160-161). In doing so, I play with a Taoist understanding of Yang as spatial information and Yin as temporal-non-spaciated information, co-evolving spacetime. This follows an ethological theory of Julian Jaynes that the speciation branch of bicameral Left-Right hemispheric awareness was a biological prerequisite to distinguishing “Self”Space from “Other”Spaciated-Time.

Comprehensive Mining and Farming and Regenerating

As a scientist,
and historian,
a gardener, of a sort,
a wanna-be organic farmer,
and EcoBrother,
it appears to me,
it is my more self-optimizing comprehensive,
and hopefully regenerative and redemptive,
view and opinion and belief and truth,
that I (and we)
am one of many daughters and sons
of a passive-solar fueled bicameral information processing EarthTribe,
open,
interdependent,
evolving cooperative Live-System Codex (ribo-nuclear),
appositionally defining and refining as
“not-not-reverse-eviL-closed system”
and non-polynomially equivalent to “Yin”
in Taoism
and Right-hemispheric intuitive,
balancing Left-hemispheric deductive function,
and linguistic function,
and cultural iconic and ionic expression,
in Psychology
and permacultured natural systems theory of positive evolution
and revolution,
in religious/cultural exegetical metasystemic EarthTribe ecotherapy.

Yin is to RNA/DNA
as human nature’s circulatory systems,
neural-bicameral
digestive
respiratory
in-carnadial,
hormonal, are to Yang,

each organically and systemically (both economically and ecologically)

both radiant and mutually gravitational

(cooperative coincidence = gravity).

Freud’s Id is circulatory-convex-body Yang-rooted,
Superego (=SuperEco) is RNA-concave-fractal-square-rooted in
+/(-)(-)Zero-Soul = Polynomial (matter) + NotPolynomial-squared
(speed of comprehensive cultural enlightenment) =

Positive-LiveSystem
Confluence
OVER
Negative-NoteviL Incommensurability,
or appositively wu-wei imbalanced Dissonance.

So, to optimize economic and ecological yield,
whether farming or mining paradigms and language and logic,
and that wholesome mutually coincident love-gravity,
I understand my Self identity as best consumed by regenerative orthopraxis
and mutually mentoring communication,
while I comprehend our mutually-held EarthTribal Entity
as both economically and ecologically Cooperative Gift-It-Forward,
Polyculturally Interdependent Panenteleological Redeemers,
living on the edge of Beloved Community’s
life and death repurposing
rehabilitating
revolving
binomial/binary recycles.

Not-Not
Who’s there?
Yes.
Yes Who?
Yes, UNI EcoTherapeutically Together.
O, UnI?
Please.
Is that a gun in your pocket, or…?

Basic Multisystemic Compassion

As I approached David Bohm’s Wholeness and the Implicate Order I anticipated easy resonance with his philosophy, but was concerned I would be lost in his symbolic math. I had no idea that he had any interest in language or anything that might approach a meta-philosophy of linguistics.

I probably don’t understand enough of this to even successfully explain why it feels so compelling to me, much less why I hope it will be compelling to you. Even so, let me set the stage for his rheomode chapter with a few sentences that grabbed me.

 

…in the present inquiry the rheomode will be concerned mainly with questions having to do with the broad and deep implications of our overall world views which now tend to be raised largely in the study of philosophy, psychology, art, science and mathematics, but especially in the study of thought and language themselves…. …the dominant form of subject-verb-object tends continually to lead to fragmentation, and it is evident that the attempt to avoid this fragmentation by skillful use of other features of the language can work only in a limited way, for, by force of habit, we tend sooner or later, especially in broad questions concerning our overall world views, to fall unwittingly into the fragmentary mode of functioning implied by the basic structure. The reason for this is not only that the subject-verb-object form of the language is continually implying an inappropriate division between things but even more, that the ordinary mode of language tends very strongly to take its own function for granted,… …because the ordinary mode of thought and language does not properly call attention to its own function, this latter seems to arise in a reality independent of thought and language so that the divisions implied in the language structure are then projected, as if they were fragments, corresponding to actual breaks in ‘what is’. (pp 39-40)

 

Bohm chooses rheo because it means “flow”; so he sees rheomode language structure as flowmodal. For reasons that I hope to support as we go along, I believe Bohm’s rheomode may translate effectively as “ecological.”

My first question has to do with how universally true is this “subject-verb-object” fragmentation of language. Here Bohm speaks of its ubiquitous culturally fragmenting effect especially when discussing things that are Whole Systemic like universal principles and nature and spirituality, dogma and metaphysics. But is it true that nouns always act as static nomials and verbs take all the dynamic action in all languages, is there a linguistic cultural divide in this respect between more Eastern enculturated language, as compared to Western encultured language? Is this as true in aboriginal, unwritten languages, as of post-industrial evolving language? Are there possibly ethological linguistic trends that might distinguish between Northern and Southern hemispheres, germane to this tripartite distinction between progenitive/subject-generative/verb-regeneration/object linguistic functions?

Regardless, Bohm’s ecological rheomode concentrates full language attention on holistic implications of verbs, language as iconic of process, change, development as well as implicating stasis, solidarity, and unraveling. Verbs, verbals, have this binomial function, dialectical form of explicit thesis-function and implied antithesis-appositive dysfunction. Dynamic linguistic function is diametric, binomial analogically and, therefore, binary-balanced digitally. Perhaps analogical information is to binary-coded polynomial information as digital information is to bionically-encoded language-pattern.

Bohm processes us through a 7-stage unfolding of basic verbal bionic function. Language evolves essentially bionic because it grows through a prime relationship between Self (ego) and Other (eco/echo/reiterating environmental input). Self is my information processor, receiving both Interior Landscape (B. Fuller’s Metaphysical Constant Concave Universe) and Exterior Landscape (Fuller’s Physical Convex Universe) messages. Both categories of messages are linguistically articulated only in our left hemispheres. Both categories of messages are temporally-neurally aptic/synaptic affectively received and fractally (4-based logical metric system) co-prehended, intuited, predicated, encoded, implicating memories resonant with RNA/DNA encrypted double-elliptical plasmatic fold/flow/force patterns, defaulting to retain ionic, and bionic, balance.

Just as it is not possible to have a “true” information system that is not binary-balanced, it is not true information that is not binomially structured, with a positive polynomial +form-function that is negatively dipolar correlated with –(-) polynomial equivalently ionic disbalancing chaotic dissonance; an implicit intuited antithesis completing the 100% truth value of each language space-time event. Cognitive awareness, and therefore the development of expressive language, and word choice, is an enthymematic dialogue between right brain’s natural systemic design and development experience, and left brain’s eisegetical hypothesis that what ego’s senses are absorbing remains normatively confluent with our prior unfolding of time encultured memory network.

For now, I want to narrow Bohm’s 7-stage (open-ended octave) taxonomy of  nomials into what appear to me to be the more primal 4-base stages. He analyzes several words as rheomodes. We will use his analytical structure for additional words:

Form

Reform—to form again; spatial dimensions+=+, temporal linear dimension (-)before=(+)now

Reformant [reforming, reform-ionic]—is formant in this now, so choice of form is functionally “Truing”

Irreformant [negative reform-ionic]—is not formed now, so choice of form is functionally “Falsing”

 

When I replace reform with inform, then it becomes easier for me to see not-informant as dissonance, noise, the reception of a message without nutriently redeeming value; lack of confluence, absence of a good as well as absence of truth at this time.

Generate

Regenerate—to conceive again

Regenerant—regenerating now, truing confluent with encoded experience

Irregenerant—negative degenerating-ionic, generative trend is falsing, out of formative and functional potentiating balance.

Nature

Renature—to incarnate, an incarnational linear-string identity of historical continuity

Renaturant—confluent syncing with internal right brain true/good natural experience

Irrenaturant—dissonating from natural systemic order

 

For me, although apparently not for Bohm himself, the logic implied within these fractal forms becomes more transparent if I use co or eco where Bohm uses re and rheo; these are essentially binomially-fractal flow rhythms and patterns of logic and ecologic.

SINE                           (enthymematic +e = +c-function) Uracil = winter permacultural language

COSINE                     right-temporal-only Interior prehension +e-functionally confluent

Cytosine= spring as positive ecocentric hope permacultural logos/logic

Positive [Adonine] + Negative [Guanine] confluent/dissonant neural memory/random-chaos LTR trend-analysis

= regenerating flow-fractal RESOLUTION: SINE equivalently eco-logic, temporally coded function

 

I realize these thoughts have taken some bold analogical leaps, but I believe that if we embrace the basic prime fractal relationship between Interior Landscape’s right-brain dominant ecologic as a reverse corollary of the Exterior Landscape’s left-brain dominant logic, we can uncover empirical, scientific, deductively sequential, logical, rational, as well as good and beautiful and regenetically effective evidence that cognitive dissonance is what happens when co-incidention does not. In other words, we can only cognize as true and logical, right and fair and just, beautiful and good, graced karma what does not cause chaotic temporal-neural flow chaos between our right and left dominant co-incidental pattern and rhythm code memory, within our amazingly binomial information processing DNA speciated brains.

Both psychological and physical/geometric/biometric evidence combine as I comparatively analyze Buckminster Fuller’s Synergetics, Julian Jaynes’ ethological cultural analysis of the left-brain’s evolution of language (The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind). Jaynes’ conjectures have only been further supported by subsequent split-brain research. However, his choice of “breakdown” was important for his historical interest in the evolutionary relationship between consciousness and identity, and, if he were rewriting for a post-millennial audience, he would probably invest rather more ink in our bicameral buildup of right-left equi-valent permacultural balancing trends. That said, his historical evolutionary analysis remains germane for noticing this fractal flow-trend within language and ecological economies of natural systemic value, virtue, nutrition, medicine, health, mental health, power, function, form, information, and ionic/bionic ergetic frequencies.

I find natural (inclusive of human natural) fractals as deeply embedded in our Interior Landscape as Buckminster Fuller, Gregory Bateson, Guy Murchie, and others find within Earth’s, even the Universe’s, natural design and development stages and frequencies and forms. So much so that analogical fractals and polymorphic fractals resolve as ecological and logical regenerative Prime Relationship Fractal Systems.

Some more developmental-fractal eco-nomials that I have included in an article for the Community Development Association:

Comparing synergetic organic paradigms, the unfolding economy of love (Fuller mentioned love as a synonym for how he understood the action of synergy) and seasoned integrity, perhaps wisdom, becomes analogous with Fuller’s fractal unfolding of Universal Intelligence.

Permaculture                           Positive Affect             Learning                      Seasonal Metaphor    

Decompose form/function        Attend/Presence           Notice/Apprehend        Winter/Advent 

Consume function                    Hope?                          Question/Doubt                       Spring

Produce form                           Faith!                           Understand                  Summer

Regenerate information                       Love/Peace…               Comprehend[1]               Fall/Harvest

Regenerative systemic process follows a redemptive economic cycle, in which we intend to “buy back,” reinvest in those outcomes with the best sustained yield-value and least risk of over-unbalancing-investment. Risk aversion itself seems to recommend becoming as cooperatively self-invested as environmental circumstances allow, as a first-tier priority for OCQI yield development. Self-redemptive economies lead to mutually-(co)redemptive economies, lead to self-regenerating Climax Community development, into perpetuity, or permaculturally.

I suspect there may be profound implications for merging linguistic and nutritional health paradigms. For example, I am aware of two psychotherapeutic models rooted in Buddhist philosophy: dialectical behavior and compassionate. They each have their strengths and they are not in any way dissonant with each other. Their primary distinction may be their point of original linguistic perspective. Dialectical behavior therapy comprehends self-identity within a fundamentally Thesis v Antithesis logos/language intellectual and feeling environment. Here we are encouraged to balance our grasping instincts with our immune-aversive instincts. Compassion therapy begins with a Basic Attendance Self-EcoEnvironmentally co-passionate mutual mentoring enthymematic hypothesis, which implies an equivalent +/(-) binomial Thesis/Antithesis Zen Vortex of mindful potential. Compassionate awareness, or love, or synergy, becomes the synergetic holonic balancing of +Thesis-ego-identity with –(-)Antithesis-bionic economical individuation. Mutually appreciated therapeutic benefits now, and anticipated for the future, is what sustains healthy interdependent minds, communication, relationships, intentional communities.

Switching to a Taoist frame, where I have more familiarity and linguistic comfort, this Positive Teleological self-identity information string, following the regenerative evolutionary and revolutionary trends of enculturing history, is the  convex force/form-power/solidarity of Yang; regeneratively completed and dialectically-binomially-economically cooperatively and mutually balanced by concave flow/function-dipolar reflective subsidiarity of co-incidentally reverse proportioning/distortioning/torquing/wavilinear/individuation unraveling Yin’s bi-functional role within Yang-quantic, or ionic, identity. Regenerative Tao balancing trends may be temporally viewed as Yin-prescient to Yang’s linguistic self-consciousness moment, as well as coincidentally wavilinear within each regenerative trending primal event-moment relationship.

Within binary information systems this seems to translate into +1.00% Polynomial information is temporally-linearly equivalent covalent with (+/-)0 QBit Polynomial Bayesian analysis trends.

Why do I think you would care about this?

Perhaps because I read Laura Brown’s feminist psychotherapy work (Subversive Dialogues) before I ran into Compassion Therapy, and something going viral that I think is called Health Home, I have trouble seeing any difference in how they describe an optimally therapeutic linguistic, or rhetorical, or dialectic/dialogical multisystemic environment. When I began my current journey toward verbally and sometimes nonverbally silencing my aversion to what I don’t find compelling in my Oppositionally Disordered daughter, and, instead actively looking for ways to appreciate her Positive functionality, reinforcing and growing her strengths and assets, assuming her screechy-scratchy dissonance has a positive-functional ethological evolutionary role for her, and for our relationship, then I find myself enjoying her more, and she appears to enjoy me more.

 

Anyway, I have certainly not done justice to the linguistic potential you might find in David Bohm’s rheomode, whether it works as a synonym for ecological flow function for you or not. Unfortunately, like Buckminster Fuller, he was an even worse writer than am I. It is easy to get lost in our long, complex strings of interactively dynamic analogies. This, however, is an unfortunate communication challenge for those with a polypathic way of using our nutrient-absorbing sensory receptors. Something I intuit that we might share, or you would not still be reading this.
