TransForming Democratic Constitutions

I believe
multicultural and polytheistic vitality is better
not just different
than monocultural and monotheistic specialization;
the difference of ecological health v anthropocentric pathology.

I believe
you believe this too.
Because if you did not
then you would probably not still be reading this.

We may also believe, then,
polycultural climate vitality
is better than monolithic absence of complexity
within organic rhythms
and patterns of each day and night,
each year,
each season of redevelopment,
each interdependent lifeline
purging ego-monopolistic
monotheistic wealth-of-power hoarding time
until intimate mortality’s sharing wisdom
sacredly sets in.

We might believe
scientists search for what to think,
how to more freely explain
Earth’s natural ecosystems
including humanely organic
interdependent political mind and economic body
biosystems
furiously Earth-passionate
and curiously Anthro-pleasured

Not believing
only artists
and mystics
intimately search for how to feel authentic value
integral trust
synergetic hope.

We might find
philosophers, like poets,
redundantly navigate why we both passion think
and pleasure feel
ecological global wealth
reinvests in
biological personal health

Of political mind
and economic body
bilaterally cobinary
re-evaluating LeftBrain verbally anthro-dominant
bicameral co-intelligence systems

Positive systems
with double negative dipolar values
co-arising potentialities,
freedom for too much Yang
ego-strength
freedom from too little Yin
eco-flow

Earth political root
and Anthro economic crown
sonnets of self-as-other equi-valent values
golden ruling governance.

We are win/win seeking
singers and dancers
sages and muses
air-breathers and heart-beaters
talking heads and listening bodies
sacred scientists and organic sentients,
Ego NeuroCrowns
reconstructing Eco SystemicRooted
therapeutic values
and traumatic disvalues

Sacred passions
and organic pleasures
showing ourselves what we most want
to divinely gain,
or at least not personally need
to avoid inhumane
globally political pain

To become healthier
value wealthier co-operating climates
of neuro-sexsensory
delight-filling polycultures

Eco-operatic abundance
of listening sounds
with ego-speaking sights,
healthy tastes with wealthy smellings,
enlightening win/lose dissonance
within empowering win/win resonance.

Of these parallel appositioned
paradoxical oppositions
which would you predict most politically correct
about economic health
and eco-dislogical pathology?

With these sacred passion wants
and organic pleasure needs
together,
do you believe you would not want to remember
we are all organically immersed
within EarthBody’s economic and political
sacred values struggle?

Refined with wanting
and not against needing
to extend family relationships
evolving/revolving Gaia Hypothesis elationships

Co-empathic enlightened resonance
replacing disempowering dissonance,
born yet healthier panentheistic again
omni-potent climates
valuing synergistically democratic
regenesis.

Regardless,
whatever,
I still believe Yang/Yin ecological climate vitality
is better than economically depressed
monoculturally anthropocentric
boredom

Yammering on and on,
repeating the same old ruminations
about struggling against both future and past
because we never considered more cooperative possibilities
through struggling with, and not against,
past painfully disvalued organic Earth-climates
to recover future gainful generations
of anthro-cultures
more vitally rebalancing
AnthroMind/EarthBody
win/win valued
eco-political evolution

Of slow-grown grassroot ruminations
thinking passions and feeling pleasures
multiculturally organic
and inter-religiously sacred

Vitality is polyculturally better
not just different
than monocultural and anthro-theistic specialization;
the difference of democratically valued ecological health
and disvalued kleptocratic pathology.

Note: kleptocracy–government by people who use their power to steal their nation’s [planet’s] resources

TrumPublican ReVival

If there were no infamous passion for Donald Trump,
then he would not be where he is right now.

So, what would it mean to bury the TrumPublican NonParty?
not with the condemning verdict of not worthy
but rather worthy of healthier democratic treatment
than to further empower partisan apartheid
over bipartisan cooperative belonging

North with South
urban with rural
rich with poor creolizing
bicamerally co-intelligent
mind-liberating/body-conserving cooperation?

Inter-religiously re-membering
outside-traditional-lines multicultural curiosity
has been more resiliently empowering
within Earth’s polycultural history
than jealous monotheistic aggressions
against organic bilateral health care-giving
and peacefully interdependent care-receiving.

Histories of ecosystemic resilience
balance successful human nature
and resonantly holistic Earth nature
nurturing resilient economies
empowering both sacredly humane
and organically divine
equivalent democratic emerging
from prehistoric SunFather enlightening
EarthMother empowering
monotheistically transcendent light
pantheistically immanent power
cobinary political consciousness

To free ourselves from TrumPublican systemic trauma
with an ecotherapeutic landslide
of healthy democratic love
for sacred SunGod/EarthGaia belonging together

Healthier and wealthier and wiser
than falling into further uncivil apartheid

Healthy EarthMother synergetic caregiving
replacing unforgiving AnthropoCentrism
so TrumPublican families
and good-faith communities
could enjoy more robust health
resilient wealth
polyamorous SunFather wisdom

Worshipping
with more reviving peace
restoring ecojustice
within EarthClimate Rights
of constitutionally protected
democratic coinvestment.

Conservatively continuing to polyculturally evolve,
better, healthier, more actively curious, ecological listeners,
bicameral cobinary cooperative discerners,
anticipating ecopolitical landslides
of LeftMindLiberating/RightBodyConserving
transcendently sacred light
and immanently organic power

Of bicameral co-intelligence
to belong democratically together
more than autocratically apart.

Healthy Hope

Your help empowers their hope,
your hope enlightens their help.

Your help empowers their health,
your health enlightens their help.

Hopeful trust thrives healthier
than trauma-terrorized
cynically vengeful distrust.

This is not a mental health
nor a political science
nor a religious
nor a sex therapist
secret.

Why does this same health-receiving and care-giving connection
seem so disconnected in our capital-fueled
straight white exclusive male ownership
historically dominant
public service business sector?

Governing
our tribal reds v blues,
our ungreen town halls,
bored with multicultural
inter-religious
compassionate reading and writing
and nonverbal communication

Co-empathic
FatherSun enlightened
EarthMother empowering
win/win cobinary
co-intelligent
indigenous wisdom education.

Actively curious care-giving,
compassionately pleasing peaceful pleasure,
enlightens economic co-investment
and democratically cooperative health,
further expanding boundaries of co-empathic trust.

Competing despairs of economic and political
financial and social dissociative dissonance,
violent irreligious discommunication,
decays into mutually assured destruction,
unweaving healthy fabrics

Of God’s mind-passion
and Gaia’s body-pleasure
coming from
and powering toward
a global green
resiliently wealthy
polyculturally curious
compassionate care-giving
Whole Holy EarthTribe EcoSystem

Within which
it is no anthropocentric secret
that unitarian care-giving
empowers universal health-receiving hope.

Doing PolyAmorous Paradise

When I was eight
I knew Paradise could not be merely secular humane
and yet be kind
and omnipotently divine

when a Great Horned Owl
breathed her last sacred breath toward me,
left alone
while she flew away
to where I would poorly follow
in my robust adult time.

It took me eight cycles of octave eight
to realize why
Paradise must include safe nests for diverse fowl,
politically
and ecologically cooperative seas
flowing complex schools of graceful fish
and surf’s bilateral co-gravity
flowing out here
and ebbing in now
breathing Earth’s healthy paradise past
and wealth-empowering future
polyamorous eternity.

Because an anthropocentric Paradise
would be monolithically,
and monotonously,
and monotheistically oxymoronic,
a scientifically and religiously ridiculous
metaphysical nightmare,
not ecologically sustainable,
not psychologically palatable

not even harmonically healthy potential paradise
because not synergetically
polyphonically
polypathically
polyculturally
or polytheistically healthy
wealth of peak co-empathic experience

regeneratively compelling
and degeneratively disspelling
economically enlightened
and politically empowering
co-intelligent empathic/dyspeptic
polytheistically inclusive
indigenous wisdom design.

Every polyvagal body knows
Heaven begins and ends
in an organically holistic
and politically democratic
globally healthy Earth Garden
with zero-balanced waste wealth stream
and nonzero-soul kind-kin potential
panentheistic elegant integrity,
yes?

So how does denying our naturally embodied climate
and unkind mind-wasting spiritual pathologies
help us become the perpetually ReStorative Paradise
we might synergetically peace together

Healing decadently autocratic Hell
monotheistically against sacredly wealthy
organically healthy Gaia Earth.

Religiously Irritating History

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Joy: deeply passionate contentment
not widely dispassionate discontent

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

Kindness: compassionate care-giving;
not dispassionately unforgiving

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

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

Gentleness: Graciously considerate religious practices
not disgraciously inconsiderate irreligious malpractices

Modesty: CreationCentered respectful humility;
not anthropocentric disrespectful greed

Goodness: Religiously moral integrity;
not nationalistic immoral hypocrisy

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

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

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

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

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

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

What does this MindBody of Jesus say?

The Agnostic Gardener

How can you say
with your not quite straight face
that you neither know nor care
anything of God, or gods,
or exotic goddesses
or ghosting holy spirits?

That’s like saying you don’t care for any love today,
or believe in rain during a drought,
yet feel gratitude for sacred Earth’s holistic medicine,
all the grace-filled rain that came some other place and day,
even if not this dry and cracked today.

Like saying you don’t believe in music
and dance
and sex
and pleasure
and passion
and red and purple and pink and yellow bruised violet sunsets.

How could you not care about creative becoming?
Regeneration of interdependent life?
The future peaceful home of our prospering grandchildren?
Health care and assurance?
Social and environmental securities?
Anti-social anti-ecological irreligious insecurities?
AnthroObscene LoseAnthroMinds/LoseEarthBodies
mutually assured destroying war games
and re-creative multicultural sacred/organic gardens
pantheistically loving
peace-thriving fragrant and beautiful Beloving Communities.

How can you pretend
with that half-smirk
that this Earth Goddess
we democratically garden together
is no one you could wisely know
or deeply care about?
To co-redeem a master gardener’s wildest dreams?
To love into integrity’s holy nature/spirit wealth
by divesting of manmade hypocrisy,
thinking we could sufficiently name,
much less commodify, God
without re-creating passions
and pleasures of organic Paradise.

Why would you take a pass
on digging into Earth’s co-passionate
fully humane mind/body divinity?

This could not be true
not really you
not the Self with polyculturing Others
past and future right now within
and without your own,
but never owned, passion
to prefer sacred cooperative pleasure’s
indigenously natural wisdom.

How can you know
we’re not gods and goddesses
in our health-gardening integrity?
in our potential for harvesting regenerativity?
economic and politically fertile
sync-tensegrity,
love of full-stretch multi-colored jazzy soul livity.

You know you want to dance in cornrows
and sing with bird choirs
as god and goddess
within and on,
for and of Mother Gorgeous Gaia’s
embryonic wounded womb
elationally awaiting Golden Ruling garden bliss

Or, did I miss something
in that twinkling
of your somewhat straight-faced lie?

Sacrilege of Terror

The host-guest relationship is more or less sacred all over the world. (Gregory Bateson, Sacred Unity)

Except among militarized private-sector terrorists
and well-capitalized public-sector fascists
where host and guest are reversed in irreligious priority
and immigrants are assumed to be politically antagonistic
and economically parasitic,
which feels like capitalist paranoia
ruminating RightWing chronic trauma,
blind to organic unity of biologically connected co-guests
of ecologically sacred EarthMother Host,
indigenously wise
Holy Spirit-Natured Ghost.

Sacred is the integrity of each moment’s organic
global EarthMother host
re-generating bilateral love’s
perpetual undeserving AnthroGuest
bodhisattva win/win potential.

Violence intended to power-over with terror
when power-with options remain as accessible as breathing
oxygen in and out,
to choose to competitively decompose win/lose survivalist minds
rather than power-with recomposing win/win thriving bodies

Regeneratively dancing
Divine organic host and Humane sacred guest relationships is,
by any cultural understanding of all that we hold sacred,
not a pathological sacrilegious profanity.

Terrorism,
and its fundamental anthro-autocratic roots,
is as against Allah’s re-ligious law
for wealthy Hosts
as against Christ’s salvific love
for trauma-wounded Guests

Terrorism marches wherever abusive powering-over
powering-with fruits of the panentheistic HolySpirit
exploit fear for monotheistic GodFather gain.

Ecopolitical hardlines between trauma-triggering abuse
and healthy Host neglect,
intended to protect ego’s falsely independent hoarding security,
are the dissonance-blending circles
that balance sacred voice
and organic choice
integrity of panentheistic dance authority
within EarthMother’s democratically rhythmic pronoia

Hostess responsibilities
to mentor peak experience pleasures,
and thereby advocate transformative passions,
co-redemptive healthy climates

Organically sacred
FlashMob care-giving and care-receiving
and not so much terrorist MassMurder sacrilege,
rooted in neglect of stretching EarthMother’s organic
empowering love
for SunFather’s enlightened guest appearances
and nightly farewells.

Sacred Conservation Conversation

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just Say Yes Is Not Speaking No

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Not wanting

dancers Here
not wanting
too distant organic EarthJustice

not yet becoming distrusted
