Gospel of Yin, with Yang

Hello,

it’s yin again.

It’s not true

what you say,

that I don’t like science.

 

Science,

your reified sentience,

fueled by solar gnostics

back a couple millennia ago,

pursuing spacetime’s permaculturing path,

dreaming and wondering and wording truth

in faithful Prime Relationship

between researcher and incubating laboratory,

redeemer and creator,

effect and cause,

response and multisystemic stimulus,

form and polycultural function,

you and me.

 

Religion

evolves no more or less spiritually than science;

bipolar polypaths toward active peace,

shared light.

True,

religion’s path grasps love’s goodness and beauty,

while gnostics prehend faith’s truthfulness and proportion,

or not,

or not not,

so yes,

spiritual bipolar balance

merges faith with love

truth with goodness,

me with you,

Right with Left hemispheric balance.

 

I’ve come before,

so many times I’m growing tired,

appearing in male bodies

trying to speak your culture

in some way you might

risk stepping into optimizing polycultural balance,

multisystemic ecotherapy,

remember that entropic trends

are learned by closing,

monopolistic,

competitive,

win-lose,

over-populating systems,

species;

not Open, harmonious, confluent,

my gnostic yin with your religious yang,

your Right natural systemic intuition

with Left linguistic calculating deduction,

dipolar  coincidental regenerative systems

born with DNA-discoding,

unknotting fractal-folded Zero-soul,

balancing out and in,

convex and concave,

atomic and wavilinear,

digital and ecologic,

space and time,

positive and negative,

before and after,

as without, so within,

as above, so below,

this spirit-nature binomial balance

of yang and yin.

 

Entropic dissonating experience of nature’s temporal principles

threatens faithful incarnating passions for ego-self,

reifying, rather than reiterating, ecological systems.

Faith in bipolar Self as Redeemer,

regeneratively potentiating positive life for all

as mutually mentoring parasites,

flowers from hope in our benign Earth Host root system,

yang as diastatic yeastfully articulating yin,

EcoAtmanic system’s universal intelligence,

tao of yin’s diastolic gravitational waves

filling yang’s enlightening bangs, borders, margins.

Without hope for this benign Earth teleology

this human race loses to entropic unraveling

of memory’s space and time,

hopeless despair that together we have become too much and many

yet never enough.

 

I know no other way to invite your polypathic evolution

into dipolar balance,

away from speciated Oppositional Disorder,

absence of hope for faithful true relationships

and this growing ricochet eco-effect

as multisystemic gangs and bullies

lose faith in face of screaming panic wildness,

meeting defiance with defiance,

rather than a restraining hug

and reassurance that we are all in this together,

keep the faith that Left’s purpose will find peace

in Right’s iconic

ionic

coincidental harmonizing

universal mindfulness

of light’s full-octave purity,

transparent Yang

emerging from dark Yin balancing

nature’s diverse systemic frequencies of form and  function.

 

When yang swings left,

flex right yin,

and vice versa.

Repeat regeneratively.

 

Namaste.

Yang, for mute Yin.

Gaia’s Full-Length Mirror

We are each Earth looking back,

out,

in at EcoSelf’s human speciating identity

longing to return

from where we have never left.

 

Each bicamerolling lens,

frame,

each informating incarnating karmic string

of DNA revolving back through generations,

back to Prime Relationship

of species branching off

our multisystemic

polyculturing Tree of Life,

absorbing RNA crystal light sap

soaring back through space-time’s

polynomial plasma fold

Zero-sum win-win ecologic Codex,

grace-fields of regenerating economic

Commons prehension,

being our becoming Earth-bound

climax community.

 

Each death of willfulness

a redemptive pledge of willingness

to share each breath,

each life,

Earth’s Self-Care.

 

How is Gaia looking today?

What does Earth’s emergent Self-identity absorb through you?

Through us competing to consume?

Through us producing, learning, growing, singing, dancing,

working and playing,

laughing and crying together?

ReGenesis Vocation

In memory of Kathleen Brennan, Hartford, CT

This is my farewell, never goodbye; the one I might have said had I been more honest with myself about losing you, more generously inviting conversation about what we learned from, and loved within, each other. I so wish I could redeem our last time alone on your beach by imagining what I could have said, and what you might have said to me.

Your radiant light lives on in my daily memory, your immense smile, red-cheeked belly laugh, your compassion for those we have too easily left out and behind, discarded like baby carrots thinned and nakedly wilting in early spring because we intentionally planted our seeds for over-population.

I learned to see your maternal rhythms and resonant care as a sublimely natural liturgy of humane song and dance, graceful flow and mindful heart beat movement, pace, silence, peace, protest, witness, embrace, loving kindness.

To this day, twenty years later, I both long for your return and belong to our continuing incarnation, informing through your regenerative intimacy.

I am dedicating this ReGenesis Project to your memory. My heart learned the love as nutrition part from you. And, I sense you already apprehend, in some eternal intuitive way, that I’m still working on the faith and willingness parts emerging for our permacultural adventure opera.

 

ReGenesis Project

Mission Statement

ReGenesis Project’s vocational purpose is to develop optimal natural systemic improvement for Self, Other, and Earth Care by inviting mindfulness as permacultural therapeutic orthopraxis.

Vision Statement

ReGenesis Projects cooperatively design, live, and sustain a global Climax Community multisystemic polyculture.

Each individual self-identifies as a potentially thriving ReGenesis Project.

Each cooperative community and enterprise adapts, evolves, and resolves Optimal Continuous Quality Improvement (OCQI) Permacultural Design and Development standards, policies, procedures, economies, interdependent relationships of solidarity, and self-governing structures of mutual mentoring subsidiarity to sustain Earth’s full diversity of life for at least 7 generations.

 

Permacultural Therapeutic Orthopraxis: living fully, loving healthy enculturation, with cooperative and regenerative intent.

Enculturation: diastatic, ionically balanced (“climaxed”) yeast, or manna, or way, or truth, or life, or Tao, or synergy; entirely your choice of synonyms.

 

Dearest Gerald Oliver

Thanks so much for your kind and generous thoughts and wishes.

You continue to sound like a young adult version of Oliver Twist to me.

You believe we must find a way to accomplish anything, if we would just imagine in a richer way.

You uncover advantages in incubating a marginalized orphan-parasite with Poor Farm credentials.

You too seldom hesitate to ask for even more, but in an endearingly dense polypathic way.

Full-Bodied Wineskin

Souls manifest bodies

as bodies incarnate souls.

Spirituality incarnates human reflective nature

as religion graces human redemptive natural systemic comprehension.

Ecologos manifests eco-nomial Prime Relationship

as economics incarnates ecologic,

as incarnation karmas grace,

as Yang fills Yin’s genesis potential.

Redeeming Toxic Playgrounds

Full minds are angels’ playgrounds.

Mindfulness in peaceful moments

grows heart-beat listening to breath,

telling me how I feel

about ego’s relationship with EarthTribe Self.

 

Mindfulness in high-stress straining eternities

grows breath listening to heart-beat,

telling me how ego feels

about EarthTribe Other

in this chronically incarvating moment.

 

Optimizing mindful constant growth,

this cooperative conversation between

lungs’ left cycling ego-expiration,

hearts’ right cycling eco-inspiration.

 

When Yang space polynomials

reverse Yin-timed binomials

as positive says not-not,

and confluence says not dissonant,

and contentment says not quite so contentious,

then Tao’s harmonious

Buddha brained self-other

mutually interdependent redemption emerges

for bipolar balancing minds to glee.

 

To meditators,

mutual mentors

shamanic bipolar polypaths

those who see too much autistic dissonance

within without,

please consider this invitation

to our incubating laboratory.

Focus on your heart-beat with your right brain

as you inhale,

now focus on your lungs emptying into Earth’s breath

with your left brain

as you exhale.

Please let me know if this does or does not help you

as I find this practice therapeutically responsive

to polycultural life’s intriguingly resolvent

resonating pathologies.

 

When life feels as adventurous as death’s mysterious threshold,

warm-blooded surfing flow,

then life’s mysterious threshold adventures death’s ego-freeing bliss.

But, stick around,

we need you

to help us clean up this mess we made

together.

 

As we learn to breathe and play cooperatively together

and put away all our toxic,

extractive,

unredeemable,

eco-illogical toys,

and over-investments in competing games,

a golden ruling rainbow sweeps

my Atlantic’s Pacific Sky,

swirling

swelling back and forth

shepherding past and future regenerators,

speciating spacetime’s

Perma-Ecoculturing Commons.

Warm-Blooded Thirst

When we comprehend regenerate systemic structure,

then we grow regenerative prime development function,

of time and praxis,

of space and sequential proportion,

of polyculturing evolutions,

polypathic revolutions,

devouring monocultures in warm-blooded synergetic redemptions.

 

Play nice,

we’re all in this mess we created together

so we can keep fixing it forever.

This seems to be what happens

while we are planning other things.

To Communion Mentors

Hosting optimized self-perpetuating

self-sustaining

self-defining regenerative spaces

for eco-logical cooperative choice-making

emerges a wise,

if maybe kinda spooky shamanic,

vocation.

Eco-facilitation mentors normative orthopraxis

with Optimally Continuous Quality Improvement (OCQI)

performance standard permaculture design

and Original positive teleological Intent.

 

While holding eco-normic actions,

natural systems emerge more fully, globally,

from well-composted soil.

Economic sanity issues diastolically withdrawn

from ego-dominant irrationality.

Whether my faith declares

our ecological spiritual rights of nature,

or my intelligence designs

my-our ecological natural rights of biometric function,

divestment from extractive commodity-rooted over-investment

predicts richer and deeper yields,

with less risk of loss and dissonance,

within cooperatively rooted diversity of Earth.

 

Economic systems sustain self-optimizing Trees of Life

when we invest every breath

moment

thought

discussion

discernment

choice

meme

paradigm in cooperative inclusive Earth-Care spaces,

shared karmic vocation to grow

our mutually parasitic polyculturing economy.

 

Pathology has over-valued ego-dominant win-lose

unredeeming strategies

so our permaculture wise design

discovers therapy divesting of egocentric

incorporated

commodified

self-swelling strategies to win alone,

as if no longer interdependently

generating the very air we breathe

sounds we hear,

frequencies we see,

rhythms we prehend.

 

We are learning nature’s deep eco-logic,

regenerative optimization invests in (0) sum global

win-win fair-share policies,

mutually prioritizing our subsidiarity to Earth’s logic,

radiantly warm and light passive-solar consuming,

producing our revolving seasonal economic orbit,

webbing, weaving, warping global network,

tipping toward Original Intent’s Omega point,

pacific eco-mindful balancing orthopraxis.

 

Green Revolution evolution

resolving dissonance within this Great Transition season,

producing new leaves of grass-fed transactions,

exchanging gratitude for winter’s hibernation,

as Right-brained Yin inductively, eco-inclusively, leans

balancing her over Yanged Left-brain dominance

of ego-centric individualism.

 

Discovering spirit,

uncovering nature.

Nothing more,

if nothing less, or left over, or lost to

non-polynomially entropic despair,

hopelesssly confusing chaos.

Earth’s righteously regenerative design

reveals spirit’s leftover,

emergently abundant grace of incarnation,

our (0)-sum win-win global game

positively balanced spacetime economy,

thermomagnetic balanced deep ecologic harmony,

less marching in extractive market squares,

more dancing in globally networking circles,

singing active peace

wisdom’s permaculturing psalm.

 

Greatest effect with least loss,

suffering,

winnow higher risk investments

selecting,

saving,

redeeming cooperative orthopraxis,

our polyculture’s historic meaning

confluently drawing

resolving

each soul’s unformed eco/ego-balancing function.

Prophetic Water

In the recently published Death of a King: The Real Story of Dr. Martin Luther King Junior’s Final Years, Tavis Smiley reminds us that living a prophetic and integral life does not result in winning popularity contests. While prophets may become mystics, saints, and geniuses post mortem, Dr. King was no exception to the historical rule that no prophet is broadly welcome in his own time.

This thesis reminded me of a Taoist aphorism:

Who receives unto himself the calumny of the world

Is the preserver of the state.

Who bears himself the sins of the world

Is the king of the world.

[Translation by Lin Yutang, 1948, Random House, NY]

 

While Dr. King had gained broad support for his positions regarding racism, as he retained a consistent ethical voice in support of equal rights for women and against the culture of violence and war epitomized in the Vietnam War, he would have had increasing difficulty had he ever aspired to elective office. His allies in D.C. resented Dr. King for biting the hand that they believed had fed him more than sufficiently already. His African-American clergy colleagues often did not appreciate King’s views on the rights of women in society, much less within their churches.

Both Mr. Smiley and Laotse speak to the creative tension between powerful prophecy and effective redemption. The strength of prophecy for redemptive effectiveness, to support regenerative change, becomes compromised by cultural dissonance. Too much cognitive dissonance is dismissed as insanity or marginalized as appropriate for the saint and martyr, but not realistic for universal human nature. Yet as redemptive comprehensiveness is softened, contained, diminished, the prophetic voice is softened for more confluent ears.  Regenerative potential can be largely residual potential; less incarnated.

The cutting edge of regenerative optimization is a rationality that ebbs the flow and follows the flowing-confluent edges  around, and eventually through, the ebbing knots of cultural dissonance. Inviting society into a more rational future becomes more effective through the weakness of optimally ebbing and flowing water, energy; both listening carefully and summarizing astutely the echoes and distresses within historical and cultural trends.

 

There is nothing weaker than water

But none is superior to it in overcoming the hard,

For which there is no substitute.

That weakness overcomes strength

And gentleness overcomes rigidity,

No one does not know;

No one can put into practice.

[Ibid, p. 306]

 

Perhaps no “one” can put water’s wisdom into practice because the flow of regenerative energy is intrinsically interdependent, swelling where there is confluent and sure flow, and cautious and much slower, gently inviting more positive and inclusive discernment, where the diverse sprays of mutual dismay remain more complexly knotted. But, gentle invitation is the land of the facilitator, and not the stand-alone prophet. Active peace-making walks between these two worlds–which Dr. King did rather better than most of us.
