Knowing Hate: Growing Health

“He who is contented is rich
He who is determined has strength of will.”
Laotse, “Knowing Oneself”

Those who would be effective
and are also ripe for effectiveness,
when contented,
this is contentment with healthy growth
to share our strength of cooperative will.
When determined,
this is determination to continue optimizing contentment
within growing healthy wealth–
doing what is nutritious for yourself,
and those you meet.

Hatred is a love void,
a hybrid of two fuels,
remembered anger co-arising future fear;
these three an unholy trinity of discontentment,
dissonance within the more inclusive potentiality of confluence.

Hate is to ego-centric survival
as love is to eco-centering thrival.

Noticing our hate-power,
whether directed exclusively toward self
or more heatedly encompassing another,
or even the sociopathology of including all others,
is our greatest opportunity,
and risk,
for changing our world through active love.

What do you hate to love
and love to hate?
Struggling with this dissonance
rather than struggling against this chaos
is important to personal and public discernment,
bringing our diverse ego-anthro centers
into nondual co-arising alignment with EarthTribe’s eco-center.

Thrival of the fitting-est,
most synergetic relationship network
presents a loving polycultural environment,
co-operatively Win-Win rooted
to co-arise positive teleology
of all creative natural systems.
Our deepest ecological meaning
is our richest healthy love of self with others.

Hate presents opportunity for determined internal challenge,
within our species, our localities, our families, our individual ego-selves.
This unholy combination of anger about, and fear of, ego-loss and decay
and deadly dissonance
feels more productive as an internal rivalry,
endosymbiotic challenge rather than ectosymbiotic war,
hate-love rivalries,
occasional survival crises,
more frequent for those marginalized
through our collective lack of active love.

There is only the integrity of this moment’s potential
co-arising evolution from ego-loving subjects
toward our health-optimizing eco-inclusive wealth objectives.

We are this HereNow Moment’s integrative,
synergetically positive, polynomial potential,
AND we are fear+anger double-dark
not-not dia-nomial
negatively ambiguous dissonance
within Earth’s consonant harmonics,
either-or with both-and logical,
full-octave balancing polycultural freedom with integrity.

Thomas Kuhn, for example,
was scientifically revolted by incommensurable paradigms,
challenging and defeating BusinessAsUsual
with not-yet-ripe theoretical replacements,
new generations of cause-effects becoming dominant
where they had lived recessively camouflaged
in prior cooperative research within ReceivedView boundary.

Fear of incommensurability
co-arises Darwin’s problem with endosymbiotic evolution
anticipating that the rich must get richer,
without power to explain a more complex philogenetic re-creativity
and genetic interdependence,
co-arising revolutionary trends
of ectosymbiotic cooperative Win-Win evolution
regenerating a more inclusive diastatic balance
of complexly interdependent paradigms
and health/wealth eco-systems.

We each contain two nondual co-arising epicenters of consciousness,
one interior-cathected ego
informing and informed by exterior-encrypted eco-memory,
dia-nucleic double-transparently negative eco-normative
views of natural, con-scientific, scientific,
deductive/inductive
endo/ecto symbiotic evolution.

The potential of a beloved community,
or paradigm,
may resolve more ectosymbiotic hate-struggles of public dissonance
long before proving its endosymbiotic success for my ego-survival.

For anthro and all Earth Tribe thrival,
both ego and eco,
Left and Right hemispheres,
endo within ecto co-arising synergetic Win-Win enculturation,
are important,
just as this primal relationship of within/without evolution
remains important to bicameral conscientific information processors.

Our hated release of ego-center,
to transition toward eco-centrism
is not a once-then-done revolution;
it is our lifelong pilgrimage of co-arising evolution.

Unraveling dissonant ego is optimally healed by reweaving eco-normics.

Embrace our endosymbiotic struggle with self-hatred
or continue drowning in ectosymbiotically climatically critical chaos,
to learn love for hate’s co-arising cosmological consciousness.

Race Management

Slavery
enslavement
force of self-imposed ownership
overpowering another’s ego-ownership,
anthro-morbid,
collective ego-morphic tolerance of identity rape,
and the fear and anger, together building hate,
from which enslavement derives;
a culturally camouflaged nondual co-arising relationship
of codependent despair,
self-hatred.

Enslaving force perpetuates Ego’s full-blown angry reduction
in self-identity,
deduction of self,
as someone who could “own” another’s Ego-healthy will
for equivalent freedom from my freedom
to enslave another’s life,
exterior and interior.

Slave and poverty development owners
internally enslaved by our own hypocritical hubris,
swimming upstream into economically encrusted perpetuation
of cognitive and affective dissonance,
chronic internal homelessness,
hopelessness that I cannot afford to be better,
healthier,
than I am.

Those nations,
corporations,
families,
individuals
codependently addicted to retaining
and further developing
vastly disproportionate wealth deposits,
divorced from our own cooperative health and well-being investments,
not only steal from those without enough to thrive,
but also slink away from our own collective mental health,
anxiously fearing freedom’s inevitable reparations,
struggling to repress awareness of nondual codependent enslavement
into entropic death of species.

Hatred combines anger about past with fear of future.
“Anger Management” politics might choose a more transparent therapeutic label,
“Hatred Co-Arising Suppression”.

Decomposing hatred first breathes through “I am Anger,”
listening for Time’s healing simmer,
then decomposing anger about past violations
to embrace rational fears of deadly toxins
enslaving your equitable prospects for a healthy future.

It feels healthy to remember we are Anger
with ourselves
and with each other,
but not against ourselves or others,
for perpetuating enslaving hatred
for stealing wealth from those without sufficient health to thrive
to feed our own unhealthy enslaving greed.

Slavery nondually imposes greedy ownership,
dreadful wealthy lust for power
co-arising with holistic health’s decreasing power,
globally and personally,
without as within.

Very bad karma,
total lack of grace,
not our way to Win-Win race.

Powers of Light

Time’s light is revolving power.

Time’s here with now balance
evolves bicameral conscious capacity
to perceive dual-Manifest Destinies
of Passion leaking Death,
predicting our future Beloved Community
identity as ComPassioning Peace.

Time
as Light/Dark Exterior Landscaped ecology
with Life/Death Interior Landscaped economy
with Love/Fear AnthroLanguaged BiCameral Landscape Revolution.

Time’s cosmically ergodic passion
hunts with Love’s co-operative weapons
through all the “wrong” places
to evolve polycultured spaces.

Time is superlatively present eco-normics.
SuperTime grows SuperEco Con-science,
defining cosmic ergodic subjects
with universally bionic
mutual-gravitational
balancing
prime relational objective
of folding and unfolding TimeCon-Scienceness.

Time emerges through solar systemically,
globularized,
global self-organizing integrity of nature,
synergy of polypathic interior landscaped paradigms,
energy of poly-enculturing massive systems,
spatial rhythms,
temporal patterns,
prime functional relationship diastasis
in-formating
in-telling;
SuperEco Time’s Teleological Memory.

SuperTime’s omnipotence is not all power over events
and all that stupid stuff everybody but my Ego feels invested in,
has capacity to imagine and wish and hope for;
but Time is all power of synergetic integrity
currently incarnate in this SpaceTime,
this HereNow moment/memory.

Our Earth’s polycultural omnipotence karmically unfolds,
comprehensively evolves from YangStimulus through YinResponsiveness,
SuperEco’s CoPassionate omnipresence,
ubiquity of Time,
optimally inclusive,
bicamerally mindful co-intelligent Passion Story,
mutually-messianic,
both active YangHunter and YinHunted,
flexibly ego-purging through eco-lighting love
of our co-relational hunt for permacultured wisdom.

Ego grows difficult to extract from flow of PresentTime,
prehensile focus and reflection within this HereNow Presence
of Eternally Holistic Time.

Ego awareness shrinks within my cranial carrying neurally-wired body
to swell toward diastatic comprehensive consciousness,
co-prehensile mutual gravitation,
letting go of each now-eldering seasoned past event
to flow toward our future regenerational hope,
coherently balancing peaceful hiatus,
Basic Attendance of this budding bicameral mind,
a floating boundary channel
dividing each season of tipping point exclamations
with bipolarizing dissonance,
confidently decomposing with permaculture’s Midway rudder
Time’s distancing Memory of Space.

Ego/Eco harmonic health-as-wealth beloved place,
newly transparent “dark” co-matter/time’s science sentience
evolving Heaven’s Paradise
as (0)Religional Bang of Time’s Space.

Time’s diastatic enlightenment brings revolutionary compassionate power.

On Polycultural Economic Health Optimization

Imagine we live in an eco-normative story
of competing for wealth-commodities,
cash piled in quantifiable currencies,
collectively blinded to our Win-Win
natural economic,
ecological,
psychological,
biological health and well-being value roots.

One day, our Permacultural Received View
unveils a co-operatively synergetic evolution of positive health
and articulation of mutual subsidiarity–
natural laws of economic and political
and psychological and biological
health and survival through thrival
Permacultural Design,
(and Taoist,
and Buddhist,
and JudeoChristian,
and Islamic,
and UU,
and Sikh,
and Hindu),
with Ecological Wealth objectives
defining spiritual principles, procedures, ethics
laws of co-operative solidarity,
co-passionate peace with ecojustice for all,
mutually subsidiary freedoms to live full healthy lives
balanced with freedom from dying deadly unhealthy deaths.
Oh, yes! this feels familiar somehow.

This appositionally poignant permaculture spectrum
originates with the emptiness of winter’s purgation,
death,
to evolve bio-systemically toward,
to incarnate as to inform,
to revolve full cycle to incorporate the opposite end of life’s spectrum,
not mere half-assed egocentric and anthrocentric competitive life,
but fully sustainable health and well-being wealth
from now through our grandchildren’s grandchildren,
and all their several cousins of diversely rainbowed
and sensually intelligent
holonic RNA/DNA-encrypted
encrypting,
predicting,
forms with functional memory eco-logical species,
bio-logic information processor systems,
bicamerally fully conscious.
We reverse our Left-brain dominant economic overshoot!
Yeah us!

As our cognitive disconnection from our own permacultural story evaporates,
this confusion about measuring wealth with money
rather than with sustainable,
ecological health,
about-faces toward inclusively co-operative survival
of the most synergetically interdependent systems,
evolving,
positive deviant psychologizing
new economizing healthy wealth,
rather than BusinessAsUsual industry,
pursuing toxic short-term Win-Lose evolutionary designs
and plans for overshoot development;
collective worship of Left-brain dominant Ego-theism
rather than continuing our pilgrimage
toward Left-Right bicameral mutual governing equivalence values
following a nutritional thrival trail
back to our Original Big Bang ProGenitor,
TransParent Pre-Temporal Timing
of our Elder Right lens back through nutritional enculturing transparently binomial, time’s core spinal fold,
erupting solid massively dense formation
out informing polyculturing functions,
flow streams,
frequency intervals
fractal seasonal revolving rhythms
of radiantly Bi(0)-versive Exodus
of Love’s enlightening Time.
When we choose healthy co-operative survival optimization
by starving competition to accumulate wealth deposits,
we will address stealth impoverishment,
now feverishly hiding within un-consciousness of economically
and politically
and ecologically violating Golden Rules
that advocate health and sustainable hope for all Earth’s Grandchildren;
the pan-ultimate measure of a culture’s true wealth
is its mutually balanced positive and negative nutritional feedback loops,
seeking our Zero-Sum Co-Operatively Healthy Win-Win
Eco-Normic Game Plan.

Polynomial Power sustainably optimizes
where monomial center trends toward Universal Co-Passion,
healthy fulsome flows and frequently reiterated functional patterns
of HereNow TransParent Bicameral Consciousness,
Ego as SoleSubject
greets and mutually bows toward
Eco-Logical WeSelf-as-SuperEco’s Objective,
Correlational,
Co-incident,
Bi-Nomially Permaculturally Balancing Time’s 3-dimensional bodymind Space,
Place,
Pace of unfolding
polyculturing
Beloved Community Memory and ReDevelopment.

PermaCulturists,
like messianic shamans of all times and cultures,
steward natural systems with a mutual-mentoring premise.
Our Host Environment, EcoSystem,
is both our Subject in the present moment
and our Objective reconnecting toward a shared cooperative future,
inclusive of all endogenous natural systems, species,
air and water flows,
sun and shadow glows.
This SuperEco ProGenitor
Hosts and Teaches
through Elder Memory synchronicity.

First, permaculturing prophets and alchemists listen
requiring the purgation of Ego-
and Anthro-
Dominance;
recovering EcoCentrism
confluent with all SpaceTime balance and harmonies,
flows with positive and negative functions, ionic frequencies,
ironic humors
cognitive dissonance too often hiding
psychological dynamics striving for comprehensively balanced
Eco-Consciousness,
Eco-Zero-Centrism and Balance,
as EcoLogical BioJustice Economics and CoOperative Governance.

Bicamerally Left-Right confluent con-science
brings sustainable healthy wealth of RNA-rooted memory systems.
Bicameral Binomial-Consciousness emerges
as human nature’s cooperative stewardship
our co-mentoring vocation,
Commons-space syntax shared with equal rights
by all Earth’s Natural Systems.

EgoCentrism is eisegetically held as good and normal and appropriate
only as long as AnthroCentrism remains Left-brain Dominant,
continues economically incarnating through Win-Lose competitive assumptions
rather than choosing permacultural models
for EctoSymbiotic Polycultural Revolution.

A Boddhisatva-Ego lives in cooperative service with SuperEco,
Universally Thermodynamic Balanced (0)-Centric,
4-Prime Dimensional,
bio- and eco-logical,
caretaker and metric “PlaceHolder” Polyculturist
within Earth’s RNA-syntax Tribes,
encultured fractal (0)-sum economically cooperative souls,
blossom Beloved Economic Community
in full “Climax”,
incarnating integrative positive trending economic development,
as transmillennial revolution
away from pursuing wealth,
toward co-operative health
as our ecological paradigm
for psychological,
biological,
and economically sustainable re-exodus toward wealth optimization
with equivalent freedom for all,
and Beloved co-passionate peace.

Time organically gardens out.

Bun Dance Season

I could not be me without you,
nor you without me,
as “I”,
you see,
we’re not at home in side-by-side.
Egos seek universality
coincidentality
equality
economicality
ecologicality,
teleologicality,
biological unfolding we.

If no MetaEcoSystem,
then no Me.
If no me, then no exegetical
metaphysical
metamorphical
polycultural
permaculturing,
polypilgriming Be.

If not Be-longing
then no longing.
If no longing,
then no Belonging.
If no becoming, then no Being

resonating
incubating
sublimating
dia-enlightening We.

If synapse
were not quite so closely haunted by fear of relapse
deep learning might Be
as predictable as gravity’s self-creational
bi-relational
lapse of time as space.

When East and West learn to divest
of ignorant enculting absence,
as South and North learn to invest
in other Culture’s Presence,
then permaculture design and development
will redeem sustained
polycultured present planet,
polymorphic peaceful economics,
polypathic co-passioned ecologic,
as PolyTao Therapy;
EcoTime’s Thermodynamic Open-Systemic Balance.

Mutual Messiahs turn Left to Right cheeks,
Right to Left hemispheres,
and back again,
reiterating timelessly
to turn Earth bioethics upside down,
with SunGod’s Alpha cooperative rays on top
of economic (0)Mega pie charts.

Earth’s graceful synthesis spreads wide
warm watery memories of sense perception
challenging bigoted contractions of tree-ringed,
We-ringed ecograce,
lust for abundance,
sensual Bun Dance away from eisegetical error,
ignoring anthrocentric supremacy,
Ego’s solo fancy prance reactionary cultural responses
to “Why”
when we each and all come together,
in love’s full climaxing binomial Beloved embrace,
we turn our holy identity upside down
in solid sustained HereNow time as spatial place,
our eco-entity global home,
grace.

DNA does not speak in spatial language,
we unfold to fly together
across time’s perpetually revolutionary boundary.

I could not be me without you,
nor you without me,
as “I”,
you see embodied,
we’re not at home in silos of side-by-side.

Biconic Language

Passion speaks as the child of reductive suffering.
Peace instinctively feels childlike kindness.
Contented,
content-full,
mindful therapeutic child of time’s bipolar identity contention.

Passion, without kindness,
necessary for comprehensively contented consciousness,
but not quite yin enough.

Peace, without suffering fore-giveness for anger and fear,
redeeming these negative investments,
necessary for full-love mindfulness
yet not quite yang enough.

Co-passionate peace,
dipolar bicamerally harmonizing
Earth’s full-octaves
of informating polycultural function,
eternally regenerates
Time’s spatial econtented
informational
in-teleo-dance,
in-tell-advance,
deductively intuitional intelligence
as universal con-science,
co-science,
re-scienced,
re-deductively synchronic,
re-connected, re-volutioned,
re-ligioned,
re-logosed,
E-logos,
Polynomial Eco-Peace (+)
OVER
Co-Passioning (-,-) Binomially Bicameral Ego-Purgation.

We each incarnate to redeem our Ego investment,
born of Earth’s DNA regenerating coins of language
double-negative binding parental Ids
create a SuperEconomic stickly bliss.

Karma
(evolution, incarnation, grace, research and design, deductive logic, stimulus and response, before and after, cause-effect)
grows a rich compost,
our reasoning souls
and seasoning soils
get out of time what ego-economic intent
and eco’s-logically instinctive RNA-rooted praxis
cooperatively regenerate into it.

Soil enrichment
and soul regeneration
are two landscapes
of one ecotherapeutically permacultural practice.
Browns are decomposing peaceful yins.
Greens are regenerate yang copassions.
Stir with just right contention every night,
to emerge into your new day
of comprehensively organic intelligence.

Binomiality is 0-dimensional
predicated,
predicted, precessive mutually gravitational,
natural magnetic systemic,
implicate,
implied,
instinctive,
camouflaged,
tipping point boundary,
concave/convexly enthymematic,
within each monomial,
within all holonic polynomials,
whether convex(+) or concave(-) in-formating.

Nomials,
memes,
form with function,
yang with yin,
speak an interdependent holonic language of bi-fractal octaves,
whether light or dark,
or both,
as do RNA,
and DNA,
protons with electrons,
are bicameral informating processors,
with ego-Left proton deductive inhalation
balancing
eco-Right magnetic instinctive DNA/RNA Elder Memory expiration.

Breathe in contenting peace
by breathing out contentious co-passion.
Breathe in compassion
by breathing out peaceful co-prehension.

Breathe in permacultural co-operating economic praxis
to breathe out polycultural ecological consciousness.

De-composting Love

Can you truly love a rock,
you’ve never directly seen or touched,
or some other relatively inanimate object,
like ego-centrism,
or a steel wall?

If so, then how is your love
different from a more unilateral “appreciate you”?

If not, then what is different between your “love”
and your “co-passions”,
compassion,
passion with and toward,
but not “passionate energy received from,” necessarily,
or, Yes! Necessarily!?

How do you know your love is also co-passion,
reiterated and returned,
however un-equivalently expressed it may be?
Is this not a matter of positive teleological faith,
of enthymematic hope,
in that boundary time between stimulus and response,
before and after,
subject and objective,
identity and relationship,
in an environ-mental health that is,
by default,
setting aside mutual immunity barriers,
to more courageously and opportunistically co-habitate,
co-incident,
co-passion love,
rather than fear, anger, anxiety,
all dissonance settings of negative default,
oppressive to self,
suppressive of others’ natural positivity,
default tipping point barometer,
that the value of one positive opportunity
edges out double-binding disvalues of two passively negative non-risk takers,
hoarding against a future
more fully defended as a contentious ally of death-defying hope.

Karma Grace

Our species’ karma
holds reasons and seasons with vast authority
color and romance
discipline and disaster
nature and spirit
to inform my family’s karma.

My family’s karma
explains my vocation and purpose
with far more authority and truth
goodness and beauty
peace with justice
terror and vitality
shock and awe and wonder
than my own proprietary ego-eco,
Left v. Right brain conversation,
truncated from where this ego originated
and future this eco-intelligence invites.

My own co-operative karma
invites vocation and purpose
as liturgy invites song and dance,
procession and pilgrimage
across each day
swimming through each night’s dreams
with vigorous resonance and resolution;
which too often feels overwhelming by light of day.

Now, which battle lines do I really want to draw today?
And why not draw them more inclusively,
to struggle with each other
to find our balancing equivalence
our solidarity of mutual subsidiarity
together noticing twilight lines each day’s shared battles
waiting to breathe through another day.

Our species’ permacultural language
and DNA encoded memory
holds reasons and seasons
with personally cooperative authority.

Still Within Time’s Core

Still within this beginning of Time,
Her Goddess planted
one Tree of Life and Death
regenerating cycles of RNA intelligence
and permaculture.

RNA was and is in and of this Tree of Time
searching for what might rhyme
and rhythm as DNA collateral,
bi-elliptically smooth structuring
boundaries of genetic syntax.

Sun God impregnated RNA’s
Tree Time of ReGeneration
sprouting DNA’s bicameral disposition
as if the Tree of Life and Death
had itself transformed
into a Second Millennial Tee of Knowledge of “Good” and “Evil”
as Life and Death,
ego’s left-brain deductive transposition
of eco’s right-brain Yang v. Yin disposition,
primal relationship,
comprehensively bilateral,

elder right-brain’s RNA,
more inclusively intuitive yin-yin’s ecological reason
still squarely functional
within information’s 0-core fractal-binomial,

of Time’s +/(-,-) tap root.

Eventually,
in this Third Millennium,
a binary digital 3rd echo-wave
liminally reflects both Trees coincidentally
through each other’s evolutionary historical root system.

Bionic system intelligence grows where planted in QBits,

Miraculous Powers of Hypocrisy

I was listening to Cornell West,
who described our catastrophic tolerance of disvalues for others,
situations we would never tolerate for ourselves,
disvalues like homelessness and hunger,
but also like random violence,
abuse and neglect,
lack of caring,
as a “conspiracy” of a dominating, oppressive, and competitive culture.

Conspiracy theories make me nervous about the theorist,
but West reassured us that he shares this concern,
yet even with all that concern taken into account,
perhaps this is a conspiracy
in the same sense that cultural and climate evolutions
always appear, in hindsight,
as if genius inspired,
intelligently planned
and spontaneously networked
a magically coincidental outcome.
Positive sometimes,
and sometimes more about this mystery
of tolerating oppressive and suppressive disvalues for others,
with apparent equanimity,
unaware of any cognitive dissonance,
without active antipathy,
or even passive empathy,
the total absence of compassion,
lack of mindfulness,
lack of consciousness;
unconsciousness.

Our own hypocrisy of self v. other values v. tolerable disvalues
are hypnotic conspiracies?
Magical miracles?

Yet, conspiracy or not,
if self-contentment is possible
while hypocritically accepting intolerable losses and suffering,
abuse and neglect, for other:
species,
Earth-plus-atmosphere ecosystem,
nations,
cultures,
neighborhoods,
even other family members,
then we sometimes would choose words like
irrational,
rabid,
irresponsible,
lack of appropriate accountability,
lack of capacity for empathy or bonding,
lack of awareness, consciousness,
hateful,
stupid,
mental disease,
sociopathology,
ecopathology,
a hypocritical living death cuts by a thousand ego-feathered knives.

We work this magically competitive hypocrisy with each other,
on each other,
against each other,
and sometimes with each other–
we call that humor.

I do not feel possessed
when my internal ecological voice
tells me that my monocultural competitive economic environment
is over-invested in undervaluing significant dimensions
of who we naturally and cooperatively (permaculturally) are,
our care-giving and loving,
our tenderness and justice-seeking,
our tendency to side with the underdog and the understory,
our endless fascination with root systems and nutritious blossoms,
seasonal development patterns and the weather,
birdsong and surf sounds,
regular breathing and heart-beat rhythms,
blood flow nutritional capacities,
the consumption and production of nutrients
within any paradigm that might come to mind.

I get it that I live in a culture educating ourselves,
about Darwin’s “evolution is the survival of the fittest cooperative relationships”
by simply omitting the last two words;
cultural hypocrisy miraculously conspired through our sins of omission,
more salient than our grace of cooperative inclusion,
because of collective cognitive dissonance
where we need collective cognitive confluence.

Perhaps a more resonant resolution of consciousness
calls us to slow down and decompose our analysis of deviance
as sometimes negative and sometimes positive
but always some of both.

I struggle to hold a heuristic safe-space for positive deviance.
My cognitive dissonance radar
learns to perceive dissonance itself as having two faces.
In this way
I begin to claim my positive deviant place
in our shared orthodoxy of truth and goodness,
beauty and diverse polycultural integrity,
in our “unitarianism” our synergy (B. Fuller),
our love.
If I am challenged to include you in this shared orthodoxy
(of truth and goodness and beauty and justice, etc.–the “positive values”)
then my sense of ecosystemic balance
is dissonant enough to exclude you
from your rightful place in our radically cooperative eco-space.

I tend to over-react to your negative deviance,
all that nastiness, really?!
because of our culturally collective cognitive dissonance
about your coincidental positive deviance,
OK, so you are loyal to a fault and a good cook,
and the clothes actually do smell and feel better when you do the laundry,
although it is the environmental expense that we actually disagree about,
whether it is significant to our collective future,
or not,
or something in between,
some place that we might actually find
and consensually agree about
and then go on to those other kinds of sensuality,
but I think I have side-railed here.

Perhaps we enjoy solidarity in rooting for the underdog
in empathizing with those who appear
with a magical potential of a positive deviant outcome.
We so hope the underdog might win this round
in part
because we thereby retain a ray of hope
that we too may someday win
with all our undervalued, unsung, underdogged traits,
cooperative preferences,
nurturing instincts,
suffering and struggling with
my over-dog egocentric cultural landscapes,
my environment,
my internally encultured ego (Left-brained) consciousness.

I always cast my ego in the role of underdog,
just as my Right brain casts our permaculturally cooperative eco-consciousness
in the role of Superdog.

This internally chaotic conspiracy of self-doubt
about ego’s capacity to live fully,
integrally,
creatively,
honestly,
compassionately,
with appropriate integrity of self-disclosure,
without the embarrassment of closeted hypocrisy,
dropping our considerable weapons of mutual immunity
and cognitive dissonance,
is also the boundary face of rediscovering our Right-brain’s ecocenter,
our Beloved non-verbal Communication center,
comprehensively conscious,
resonant and resolved,
optimized and polypathically densely nutritious,
only through bicamerally synergetic confluence,
active peace,
love,
integrity of shared meaning and purpose
to the very core of our mutually messianic
mutually mentoring
co-redemptive
ego-and-eco balanced chi-soul.
