Reweaving Peace

Now that Restorative Justice
has raised her Gaian ecological purpose,
to restore polyamorous peace
in polyphonic
polypathic Turquoise Eden,
how do you continue to justify
a win v lose Retributive Justice evolutionary philosophy
of law and moral order
as contributing to healthy
win+win
regeneratively revolutionary democracy?

Asked the social systemic trauma Judge
of UnitingNations jurisdiction.

Restorative Justice
was never intended to be effective
when either victims or predators
are unwilling,
often incapable,
of re-engaging in cooperative
interdependent
every body wins dialogue,
egalitarian discernment
in-between Trust
and MisTrust
and hostile DisTrust
and restorative ReTrust.

So you argue
win+win regenerative assumptions
of self-conscious+other-sentient creatures
are not safely,
and not realistically, accessible
for all the healing dreams
and therapeutic purposes
endemic to our Gaian muse of peace?

An insufficiency
of experience
with healthy democratic revival;
yes.

And, where victims and a healthy society
are presumed Winners
by punishing scofflaw Losers,
how will continuing to primally rely on win v lose retribution
lead us toward this noble,
and unconditional loving goal
to achieve healthy democratic peace
for all Earth’s regenerative creatures?

Retributive Justice
is the State’s weapon
to protect the Common Good
from further injustice,
a deterring threat;
not a tool
or medicine
toward an effectively remediated peace,
domestic
or international,
private
or public resilient health.

How do you respond
to therapeutic win+win possibilities
of multiculturally mediated dialogue
to bring together victim compassion
with wrongdoer remorse,
without corporeal threat of criminalization?

Retributive Justice outcomes threaten further
release and parole caseloads,
recidivism,
imprisoned and exploited populations
of marginally surviving misfits,
disproportionately poor
and dark-skinned

Traditional patriarchal systems
do not over-invest
in democratic health
or economic opportunities
of our predative
and victimized,
traumatized
and terrified,
despised
and marginalized,
raped
and pillaged citizens,
as these are not well-established
in win+win cooperative investments.

I’m not sure
arguing against further patriarchal
competitive 0-sum capital investments
helps your justice through matriarchal cooperative
cause.

You invite the World Court to question
whether anyone is capable of sufficient trust
in resonantly democratic peace,
internal and external,
anthropological and ecological,
to actively communicate egalitarian
restorative
healthy democratic choice-making

Facing toward compassion,
facilitating co-empathic communication disciplines,
expanding EarthFirst nonviolence
to therapeutically mediate Gaian Hypotheses.

Well, actually I invite the Court
to recognize
Gaia has already recreated
and regenerated thriving
bicameral balancing minds+bodies
crowns+roots
capital+physical
ethos+eros
compassion+pleasure
cognition+intuitrion
consciousness+sentience

So unconditional love
doesn’t really notice
if I would prefer to debate
against some ultimately punishing
win v lose diminishing
dissonantly patriarchal
distantly monotheistic
and anthropocentric

Religious Ties That Naturally Bind

Religion
could be more organically grounded
in healthy ecological relationships
were theologians and governors
to remind each Other
is also, at least neurologically,
not Other

This re-connecting work
of religious economic and political enculturation
is less about unchangeable past history of TruthPassion
and more about continuous,
resonantly reculturing
EarthPleasure.

Less about petrified fear
anger
unhealthy distrusting demonizing Other
and more about optimized compassion,
win+win safe
timeless double-binds of graced eternity.

Double-binds are sometimes recognized
in moral theology–
damned if you do
and damned if you don’t;
Lose+Lose

Seldom blessed if you do
so graced if you don’t;
Win v Lose.

Two negatives equal a positive
but two polarized positives
equal a mess of competing
0-sum
either totally win
or totally lose
confusion.

R.D. Laing connected verbal communication
between individual victims
and socially empowered authorities
like parents
and teachers

And perhaps evangelical theologians
demanding we love God
so deny body pleasures
Yet if we misunderstand body pleasures
as disconnected from God’s omnipotent grace,
then we have not yet
personally enough
accepted God’s polyamorous love.

Double-binds are double-negative
lose+lose oppositions

Co-binary x’s and y’s,
1’s and 0’s,
bilateral prime relationships
like Yang and Yin
connect win+win appositions
potential reconnecting associations
of both yes and no contrast

Co-defining
mind+body
ego+eco-refining
Anthro+Earth’s regenesis
re-ligiously reconnecting
fractal DNA+RNA
double-bilateral octaves

Like 4-dimensional space+time
of co-arising
co-acclimating bi/di-polar dynamics
either/or AND both/and
left hemisphere resonant
with right hemisphere interdependent ‘
thought+felt
mind+body communication
non-violent,
so, compassionate–

These are not often enough
positively re-ligioned
re-connected
rewoven into the fabric
of double-binding win+win choices,
healthy, mutually trusting,
democratic discernment,
nondualistic dialogue
theologically and ecologically
teleological,
psychological and neurological,
organically and sacredly democratic,
sexual and sentient,
historical and mystical,
memory and mysterious
reconnecting win+win hope

For dipolar co-gravitating
spiritual love and natural life
ecosystemic passion+pleasure experience,
systemic divine climax,
sacred wonder
and secular
spiraling
recycling
regenerating awe

Root

to flower

new+old re-ligioning

anthropocentric

Integrity’s Completion

What we believe
is our neurological humane nature,
growing up
and cooperatively out
from LoserMe+LoserWe caste depressions
about our survivalist selves
failing past multiculturally dynamic environments,
defending WinMe v LoseWe capitalistic patriarchalism,
while spiritually transitioning toward WinMe+WinWe
nurturing co-passionate communication

Feels natural,
teleologically indigenous,
red-blooded spiritual
flowing up
and cooperatively out
ecological green/blue energy
growing away from retributive injustice,
harmful guilt and shame

And growing toward WinEgo+WinEco absorbing compassion,
ego+eco-political restorative peace
sacred EarthSentient
matriarchal nurturing
healthy nature of wealthy spirituality

What I believe
is our positive v negative multi-regenerational
neuropsychological
internal nature

Has grown from
our ecological prime EarthMother Attachment,
flowing out divine individuating energy
growing from discontinuous
detached
ultimately disempowering WinMe v LoseWe
post-partum rabidity
toward Win+Win democratically healthy
green indigenous nondualistic relationships
for humane internal+external
natural consciousness

Of wealthy holistic healing
multicultural health
multigenerational

Of universal love

Gospel of Audacious Democracy

Are you,
or have you ever been,
a Trumpist?

Asks the Restorative Justice Committee
inviting an open discussion
with Christian evangelicals
about traditional green
global
gospel
Body of Christ loyalties

And how this anticipation
of restoring justice
through green/blue healthy democracy climates
and unred-undominating polyamorous peace
has been influenced,
or not,
by EarthPatriotic repentance.

In hindsight,
said a representative
of the StraightWhiteMale Clergy Association,
I first began reflecting on

Who is my social capital competitiveness
willing to sacrifice,
to bully,
shun,
ignore,
snub,
disempower,
leave behind
because of their hopelessly unclean sin?

So I could more clearly emerge
among my monotheistic caste peers
as an orthodox MAGA ‘winner’

A judging God of Retributive Justice emulator,
blamer and shamer,
not listening mis-communicator,
winner v loser evolutionist
of an anthropocentric
slowly degenerating
undivine
not redemptive EarthView.

Willing to sacrifice
and capitalistically exploit Earth Her sacred Self,
in my silent shaded closet
focusing on a rapturous Heavenly climax
after the straight white Father’s great self-righteous
rapacious red rage.

Which is something rather punishingly different
and anxiety reproducing
as compared to anticipating
a green EarthBound Rapture
catalyzed by healthy democratic empowering
and cooperatively enlightening restoration
of egoMind+ecoBody
therapeutic Earth Justice.

What, of your own potential integrity,
internal multicultural interests
and faith-filled curiosities,
is your current internal monocultural win v lose efficiency
for hoarding currencies of social success markers,
such as “annual six figure income”?

I’m not sure I understand your question.
Is our household income over $100,000?
Am I a faithful federal military-industrialized taxpayer?
Yes, of course.

What and whom are you willing to leave behind
wound
kill
starve
boycott
excommunicate
impeach
lock up?

How do your faith communities shut out awareness
of other green restorative currencies for success,
such as win+win integrity,
multicultural, multigenerational neighborhood social synergy,
polyamorous commitments to inclusive consciousness,
to transparent authenticity,
to vulnerable sentience
willing to risk personal honesty
about closeted upper caste defensive deviancy,
feelings of undemocratic evangelical supremacy?

I’m hoping those are rhetorical questions?

Oh ye of little love without conditions,
faith inadequate to anticipate opportunity
to more deeply learn
who we are becoming together
as an inter-religious polycultural health wealthy tribe,
a global neighborhood communion of bodhisattvas,
a diverse mutually absorbing ultra-nonviolet community
free of dreaming up more red fear
and blue/green free for transparent cooperative curiosity
and winSpirit+winNature co-empowerment
and holistic EarthPeace co-enlightenment.

Now who’s bullying
and overpowering
and not effectively communicating
so much as competitively evangelizing?

Who and what do your religious dogmas
exclude from grace
that your spiritual and natural cultural interests,
your attractions and anxieties
would include as stretch goals
for better healthy wealth of communication
which includes respectful listening more
and preaching disregard less?

If you wouldn’t mind,
could we turn your question around?
How does eco-political you,
and how have we forever audaciously become,
gospel pro-life
polyamorous
ecotherapeutic
compassionate communicators?

Sophisticating Republican Women

“The ways in which we apply these [empathic] abilities
to controlling the excesses of growth and expansion

[by nurturing multicultural synergetic balance]

over the next century
will be the greatest test
of our evolutionary [democratic Win/Win]
sophistication.” D Holmgren, Permaculture, p. 73

Sophistication is not
jingoism
nor tokenism
nor nationalism
nor sexism.

Democratic evolutionary sophistication
requires developing holistic integrity,
invites and nurtures polypathic
health of interdependent pleasure
and wealth of intersectoral compassion.

Until our League of Women Voters
becomes a Legion of EcoFeminist Speakers and Listeners,
leaders and co-operative
co-invested followers.

Until our democratic national party
becomes an everyday
InterNational InterDependent PolyCultural Health Party.

Until our republican nationalistic party
becomes a cooperatively-managed
EcoTherapeutic Wealth Development Project.

Until each educational and religious system
becomes a polyamorous paradise
for mentoring Restorative Peace,
a remedial safe space
for battered and neglected
abused and exploited
miseducated and disempowered
Republican girls and women.

Until each Town Meeting
becomes a bipartisan win/win part
of EarthMother’s CoPassionate Discernment Network.

Until each political campaign
becomes a NonViolent Communication progression
reinforcing our EcoPolitical CoOperative Health Trust
of and for Earth’s Peace Wealth.

Until Type A caste supremacist planning
to extend competing Win v Lose Yang
reweaves equivalently
with processing Type B
nurturing Win+Win
caste-abolishing Yin.

Until Left deductive dominance
panentheistically religions again
with Right inductive
mind-passion/body-pleasure.

Until masculine strength with endurance
also means feminist flow with nurturance
through mutual Left/Right bicameral
cooperativity.

Until day
becomes not so much nightmare.

Until “unsophisticated women”
becomes an oxymoron,
a population of zero,
empty vacuous imaginary population
now singing more resonant harmonies
dancing more resilient memories.

Defining Delineations

To define is to articulate what lies within
a concept,
a population,
a word,
a paradigm.

To delineate is to articulate what lies beyond
boundaries of a concept,
a population,
a word,
a gestalt.

To extend learning,
and loving,
is to stretch this evolving articulation of boundaries
between what lies within
and without
a concept,
a population,
a tradition,
a still evolving word,
a revolutioning,
multiculturing,
transforming paradigm.

When we become lost in reductive delineations
we can become distracted from expanding
deepening
thickening
capitalizing
heightening polypathic definitions.

For example,
Republicans, and, to a somewhat lesser extent,
Democrats, in the USA,
have begun a new tradition,
and not a healthy one,
of becoming more articulate definers
of what it means to be One
by loudly proclaiming we are not of the Other.
Something similar could be said, unfortunately,
about feminists and patriarchal caste preservationists
as anti-feminists;
which does not really evoke strong hetero family values
in any traditional healthy
wealthy
or wise sense I can think of.

I guess we could call rape a form of intercourse,
but not one that anyone would hope for
in any semblance of sanity,
much less integrity.

Anyway,
when Trumpians try to define the benefits
of their proposed health care legislation,
the first, and often last, phrase I hear is:
It is not ObamaCare.

Perhaps the only difference
will be measured by comparative NonCare,
leaving further delineating boundaries
between Trumpian and Obamian Care
to evolve further at a later excluded time
for continuing to expand healthcare.

But, in today’s polarizing environment,
health affordability and sustenance
and pathology prevention issues
are increasingly above our active political leadership’s pay scale,
beyond our collective rhetorical mission statements,
now becoming who we are constitutionally not,
because too internally divided by kleptocratic v democratic complexities
of who we might have become
together,
in and among a healthier
wealthier
regenerative space/time
body/mind extending religion
appositional word-pair
liberating population
transforming paradigm.

Deviating Sisters

One of my sisters believes I chose to be queer.

Did you remind her
you had no more choice about chasing guys
than she did?

Yes.
But her favorite televangelist
says I must be mistaken,
or just lying,
because who wouldn’t choose to be hated
by all the hetero homophobes
like televangelists,
and evangelical radio heads,
right?

That makes no sense.
She can’t really believe
you would choose to belong
to any repressed and humiliated minority,
especially during early onset of puberty,
when every girl and boy in any culture
is terrified of becoming different,
or special,
or weeded out of the clickety-clak pack.

Well, as she sees it,
she is in a LoseLose double-bind.
Either I chose to be queer, and am thereby demented,
or God graces all forms of WinWin sexual expression,
which would be contrary to her homophobic enculturation,
so it is easier to believe I am nuts
to choose perversely
than to consider herself nuts
not to choose more graciously,
especially with regard to God’s creative capacity for love,
rather than simplistic judgments
which look and smell and sound like patriarchal sexism
more than radical compassion of God’s healthy pleasure
of regenerative love among all gendered children,
red and yellow,
black and white,
gay and straight
and shades of grey transgendered,
each is precious in our polyamorous
Gaian Hypothesis sight.

What about your other sister?

Oh, she agrees.

With what, or whom?

She agrees we’re all nuts.
Nuts
not to choose healthy love
over pathological hate
and fear
and anger
and greed,
craving to keep all the hot men
for one’s own privileged clan.

Abolishing Apostacy

Wealth of Integrity

You have heard it said
Turn your swords into plowshares.

We, both Left and Right, echo that to add
Turn from planting bombs and bullets and barbs
to planting trees, and shrubs and carbon-infested fibers.

If our problem is too extreme climate change,
Our resolution is to plant trees, not bombs,
plant shrubs, not refuge-denying inhospitable shrugs,
plant and re-invest carbon, not climate runaway,
through co-investment capital values,
not egocentric hoarding pathologies.

Does this sound like Republican apostasy?

Apostatize–to depart from orthodox integrity.

Hypostatize–to treat and/or regard as a distinct substance
or reality.
Antonym: Synergize

To compassionately communicate
is to integrate
by bringing together
what was LeftBrain hypostatized.

Domesticate: To welcome and train for matriarchal cooperative purposes;
exclusive of patriarchal hoarding and/or self-indulgent divestment
degenerating Earth’s synergetic economy.

Capturing and Hoarding (aka LeftBrain Piracy): Sins of long-term hypostatization,
loss of nutritional flowstream,
dissonant upper-caste privileged choices
with Win v Lose 0-sum assumptions
where ego/eco-systemic Both/And options
are co-empathically apparent,
but kept non-communicated
separate.

Matriarchal AntiThesis
(like Gaia Hypothesis):
Carbon/capital re-investment in global domestication
is dynamically equivalent to
Win/Win healthy-wealth root systems
of and for compassion values v dispassion disvalues.

To LeftBrain hypostatize thoughts
and not RightBrain synergize feelings
as revolution without evolution,
as authoritarian Yang without domesticating Yin
as patriarchal dualism is to matriarchal nondualism.

We need to comprehend
as of yesterday,
if not earlier,
a profound ecotherapeutic difference
between hypostatizing YangLeft v YinRight dualistically bipolar,
mutually repellent [EitherLeft/OrRight deductive verbal dominance]

And creolizing Yang with Yin nondually dipolar,
co-arising + co-gravitating [Both/And co-empathic intuition].

Just as absolute Yang power corrupts absolutely,
universally,
foundationally,
fundamentalistically,
elitist-plutocratically,
egocentrically,
ethnocentrically,
anthropocentrically,

So too, absolute love transforms integrity, synergetically,
symmetrically,
zero-sum polypathically,
polynomially,
poly-enculturingly,
eco-politically
cooperative nutritionally
health as wealth of regenerate value,
ego/eco-normative
upper-caste isolated abolition.

Integrity’s togathering key toward climate health,
internal and external,
psychological and political and economic and ecological,
is to look at how we cooperatively reinvest in carbon catchment
and disinvest of carbon exhaust,
loss,
waste
of competitive breath.
WinLeft v LoseRight sub-optimal thinking.

But, the same could be said of water
and oxygen
as breath
and love and integrity compassioning,
rather than hypostatizing,
co-arising interdependence.

LeftBrain hypostatizing domination of history,
when we could also be RightBrain synergizing
her domesticating democratizing creation story,
is rooted in egocentric Win v Lose hypocrisy,
denial of immediate and continuously interdependent co-responsibility
for who we already healthy are
and whom we are not cooperatively wealthing,
yet.

As long as our LeftBrain enculturation lords it over a lower class,
We are all RightBrain belonging poor.

As long as we fail to recognize a LeftBrain segregating function
We are all RightBrain outside our ethical-normative fertile fold.

As long as we capture and hold prisoners
for their further degeneration,
We are, none of us, optimally free
to enjoy our polyamorous
panentheistic
Gaia Hypothesis sweet spot.
