Religious Ties That Bind

Religion
could be more spiritually grounded
in healthy ecological relationships
were theologians and governors
to remind each multiculturing Other,

This re-connecting work
of religious economic and political enculturation
is less about unchangeable past history of TruthSpace
and more about continuous,
resonantly reculturing
EarthBeauty Time

Less about petrified fear
anger
unhealthy distrusting demonic place
and more about fluid compassion,
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;

Seldom blessed if you do
and grace if you don’t.

Two negatives equal a positive
but two polarized positives
equal a mess of 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
more than Ego,
Yet if we understand Ego
as merely autonomous from God’s omnipotent grace,
then we have not yet
personally enough
accepted God’s love
into our self-made hearts.

Double-binds are double-negatives
as double-binary x’s and y’s,
1’s and 0’s,
binomial prime relationships
like Yang and Yin
and dipolar bonds of appositional association

Co-defining
eco-refining Earth’s regenesis
with fractal DNA and RNA
double-bilateral structures

Like 4-dimensional spacetime
of co-arising
co-acclimating bi/di-polar dynamics
either/or AND both/and
left resonant
with right hemisphere interdependent 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
theological and ecological,
psychological and neurological,
organic and democratic,
sexual and sensual,
historic and cultural,
memory and mysterious hope

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

Root
to branch
to flower
to seed
new/old root re-ligioning systems.

Light/Dark Powers

If a maturely individuated ego…

Honey, you just left out most of us.
Could you work on being more inclusive?

is organically
holistically SelfAware,
codedefining as
Not some Other conscious egocentered person,

Some Other living sensate creature
composed of interdependent
organic health-maintenance and development functions,

Including reproductive capacity,
regenerative fertile potential
inherited
for repurposing
recycling into Earth’s polyglot future,

And, if Earth
is also an organically living
global ecosystemic Habitat
revolving and recycling
within universal light and dark energy fields,

Expanding complex positive energy systems
and chaotic negative entropic potentials

Not ZeroSum
and, more positively, Win/Win co-gravitating
ionically re-ligioning systems
re-connecting
re-weaving

re-emerging from interdependently dancing Black Holes,
dark spiritual energy chakras
for transport
and Whole Open Systemic ReDevelopment Processes,

Admittedly, a grandly dark-staged IF,
yet,
if interdependently holistic ego systems
interact within a universal win/win energy environment
of unitarian meta-energy balancing light/dark
health/pathology systems,

Then where could GodSun
and EarthGoddess starlight
have SuperEgo bilaterally emerged from?
SuperOther than our original
multicultural
prime ZeroSum double-binary
co-empathic relationship

Fertile light Mother
and darkly embryonic sacred Child
co-empathically polypathic
Polymathic
Polyphonic
Poly-metamorphic
Polyphoric
Polyvagal energy
positive light
inviting self-conscious rebirth

Of deep
dark
wounded postpartum
unwinding win/lose
empowering/disempowering
wombs
with BlackHole commencements

As YangBright truths and trust
greet YinDark sacred beauty,

As regenerative democratic life
predicts and evicts
degenerative unrevolving death
of continuously monoculturing
patriarchal egos

Marching in predative capital-infested squares,
rather than dancing
in BlackLife Matter
holistic energy chakras,
bright and beautiful.

Reweaving NonViolent SpaceTime

My RightBrain analogical mind
becomes frustrated with my digital
binary either 1 or 0
monocultural dominance,
privilege,
ego-supremacy
of YangOne over YinZero,

Which reacts to all health issues,
personal and political,
economic and environmental,
neurological and psychological,
sociological and globally polycultural,
as if they are bipolar win/lose inevitable,
assuming competitive evolutionary capitalistic models
of regenerative healthy nutrition market reality,

Rather than also dipolar nuanced win/win
analogical
ecological
theologically co-redemptive
holistic nurturing both/and opportunities

For multiculturally
non-violently mediating health-wealthing communication
with restorative peace and justice outcome resilience,

Robust dipolar co-arising resonant markets
bicameral global Taoist
NonZeroSum integral nurturing
cosmic co-gravitating communion mapping
of Yang LeftSpace
in 4D Yin RightTime
seasonally revolving
spiraling
BiLateral ReWeaving
of continuously win/win SpaceTime

Which looks
and feels
like polyphonic waves
of DNA ultra-nonviolent
multiculturing regenerativity
to me.

Russell’s Systemic Passions

Bertrand Russell
was intrigued by systems theory,
appalled by systemic racism
within himself and others,
corporations and churches
not recognizing each other’s wisdom
also found in temples and synagogues
and community investment banks
and poor houses.

He was also interested in political philosophy,
power of aristocrats
anticipating growing personal economics
despite offering no respite
to green/blue democratic EarthLovers.

A contemporary of Einstein’s,
who shared Russell’s political philosophy
and perhaps his interest in 4Dimensional
prime NonZero-entropic space/time
co-arising dipolar bilateral systems,

Russell writes,
“The reason physics has ceased to look for causes
is that, in fact,
there are no such things.
The law of [unilateral linear] causality
is a relic of a bygone age,
surviving, like the monarchy,
only because it is erroneously supposed
to do no [win/lose, either/or leftbrain dominant reductive] harm.”

Here, Russell’s parenthetical analogy
betrays his political philosophy
favoring natural/spiritual green co-arising systemic democracy
of We The Healthy MultiCultural People
causing and effecting
monoculturing
narcissistic aristocratic collective fantasies,
anthropocentric Naked Emperors.

Causal systemic power travels down to up,
like root systems toward flowers,
nutritionally before,
secondarily, communication flowing top to down,
like seeds embedding in Earth’s co-invested future
multiculturing fertile soil
bearing multi-regenerational anticipated win/win fruits,

Dipolar co-arising in polyphonic apposition
more normatively nurturing
than win/lose bipolar challenges of monoculturing,
too aristocratically self-delusional
short-term empowering aggressors
leftbrain straight white western male predators
on organic polycultural matriarchal fields
of nature/spirit win/win systemic energy
for which each individual ego
was EarthMother sacred
eco-politically born

For growing systemic
democratic cooperative green energy,
power,
empowerment,
enlightenment
of integrity’s systemic multiculturing potential
for climate health,
internally spiritual ego
as externally natural eco-systemic.

Audacity of Green Democracy

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

Asks the Restorative Justice Committee
inviting an open discussion
with Christian evangelicals
about their new green global loyalties

And how this anticipation
of restoring justice
through green/blue climates
and unred-undominating cultures of 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 actively or passively bully,
shun,
ignore,
disempower,
leave behind as a ‘loser’
so I could more clearly emerge
among my monoculturing peers
as an orthodox redmeat ‘winner’
a God of Retributive Justice emulator,
judge,
blamer and shamer,
violent miscommunicator,
win/lose evolutionist
of a discontinuously transcendent
slowly degenerating undivine EarthView.

Willing to sacrifice
and capitalistically bully Earth Her sacred Self,
in my shunned silent 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 ego/eco-therapeutic EarthJustice.

What, of your own potential integrity,
internal multicultural interests
and faith-filled curiosities,
is your current internal monocultural win/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?

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

I’m hoping those are rhetorical questions?

Oh ye of little green faith
inadequate to anticipate opportunity
to more deeply learn
who we are becoming
as an interfaith multicultural health wealthy family,
a global neighborhood communion,
a diverse mutually absorbing ultra-nonviolet community
free of dreaming up more red fear
and blue/green free for transparent cooperative curiosity
and win/win co-empowerment
and holistic open systemic 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 health communication
which includes respectful listening more
and disrespectful preaching less?

If you wouldn’t mind,
could we turn your question around?
How are eco-political you,
and how have we forever audaciously become,
MultiCultural Therapeutic Communicators?

Dancing Questions

I have a lot of questions
questions
questions
he repeated
and danced
and slowly swung
on our creaky screened porch swing.

Radiant
in fiery ginger godliness,
mind centering omnipotence

He is so far ahead
of answers,
I feel embarrassed
to share them.

But, in not sharing
I become lost in caring
what you might think of me,
feel about we
without sufficient daring.

He swings anal retentive
in a whole new light
of previously unrepresented delight.

Ah! that could not be my question.
A hypothesis, perhaps
meriting further research;
new questings.

It feels important to me
this questing
for high and deep best male alert
dessert thick
and creamy,
dreamy wave of carnal delight,
absence of fright
or fight
in last and long dark nights
on seas of swings
just f…..g right.

I want to squeeze
these pulsing questings
out of this maleness
female mess
so quickly
complexly asked
and chaos given

Shriven
of clothes
but not masquerades
of closet questions
questing answers
not yet hard
and widely embraced
formed
invited graced q…r notions

Of motions
and emotions
just right
and left
bilaterally in-between
bicameral lusts
and binomial leisure
to swing all theories continuous
polypathic
polyphonic
polyvagal
polymetric ways

Of in
and out
and rebellious shout
for Earth’s most carnal freedom
of re-connecting
polycultural con-scientific re-ligioning
questions about straight and narrow
meets wide and deep

Why 1
slides so sexily
into 0
shaped chakras
of natural
spiritual co-empathic pole
and hole energy
like nuts
and bolts
and male
and female bi-polarities.

So many questions,
he gloriously proclaims
in majestic awe
meets lusty wonder

As his bicameral feet
gently invite
our graced swing
to sweep and seep
with co-gravitating
revolving Earth
back to Spring
and forth to Fall

One late summer morning
on our screened porch swing.

Openness

“Energy fields extend to infinity.
Consequently they are open–
not a little bit open,
not sometimes open,
but continuously open.
The long-established view of the universe as an entropic,
closed system is rapidly losing ground.
Proposals that living systems were open systems
led Von Bertalanffy to postulate
that living systems manifested negative entropy.
Evidence has continued to accumulate in support of a universe
of open systems.
The closed-system model of the universe
is contradicted
and obsolescence of such concepts as steady-state,
adaptation,
equilibrium and the like
is made explicit.”
Martha Rogers, p 227, in “Martha E. Rogers: Her Life and Her Work, edited by Violet M. Malinski and Elizabeth Ann Manhart Barrett

Power fields
and WorldView frames
extend associations

sacred,
multigenerational,
matriarchally continuous lifelines
of humane organic infinity.

Consequently,
these frames are spiritually

metaphysically open
NonZero Sum
irrational RightHemisphere artistically

Not a little bit holistic and open,
not just discontinuously patriarchal
evolving one isolated ego-lifetime open,
but omnipotently

regenerative green/blue globally,

healthy-wealthy open.

The long leftbrain-establishment view
of Green/Blue Living but Static
2-dimensional EarthMap
as an entropic,
closed energy field system
is ecologically
rapidly losing 20/20
enclosed balance yet open,
inhaling yet exhaling,
grasping yet distracting
sensory bilateral co-arising ground.

Proposals that living systems
are also open sacred metaphysical systems
led Von Bertalanffy
to bicamerally postulate
this Principle of Taoist Green Reversion,
away from too much Red,
so that healthy living EarthTribe systems
manifest not negative Green syntropy,

In some mystical metaphorical health-wealth way,
dark red unsafe
neurological secularized death
is in continuous appositional
bicameral psychological relationship
with green empowered sacred healthy life

Spiraling Ultra-NonViolet revolutionary evidence
has continued to win/win accumulate
in support of a revolving green/blue healthy Earth
of bilateral space/time
open communing systems.

The closed orthodox fundamentalist
capital/patriarchal rationalist
desecrating
sacrilegious
morally contentious
and retributively judicious
mapping and entrapping model

Of this health/wealthing EarthView
is ecologically/theologically
robustly predicted,

Our green/blue experience
of reverse

redemptive win/win concepts
such as
not always win/lose

not necessarily win/lose political power

against cooperative co-acclimation,

Re-turning divine/humane unchanging climate equilibrium
to not inhumane
green-blue restoring peace
as Earth Justice
open multiculturing noncrimes
of healthy democratic passion.

To LeftBrain explicitly green/blue life
openly reiterating

The closed leftbrain dominant
capitalistic win/lose
and patriarchal v matriarchal
yang v yin
closed polarized system
Red-strength v Green/Blue-flowing
flowering wisdom
is Left/Right neurobiologically contradicted
and ecological/theological obsolescence
of such leftbrain straight white male privileged

and the metaphysical closed in unintellectual life

Sensory Prophets

Smell
anticipates new taste
and too often learns anxiety
of past bad taste memories,
associations,
deep neurological lessons.

As enveloping touch
anticipates new internal feelings
and, too often, deep learns anxieties
of past dissonant felt memories,
negative reassociations,
deeply felt psychological lessons.

As compelling sight
anticipates new therapeutic sounds,
empowering and enlightening communications,

And, too often,
deep learned anxious depressions
repressions
suppression
of past LeftBrain historic dominance,
anti re-ligious sounding judgmental dogma
deeply monocultural,
darkly negative
economic and political resounding lessons.

Yang strong faith
anticipates new yinspired green hope
and too often learns dissonance
of past hopes for empowering unity,
equity,
win/win integrity
free of requiring economic win/lose endarkening uniformity,
dissonant dissociations,
deep astronomical and revolutionary
lessons in bad-faith pathology

Which may be why
fragrant faithful cultural truths
anticipate tasting

Healthiest Wealth of Loyalty

We each and all have, I suspect,
a universal rightbrain multicultural awareness
that patriotism
risks degenerating into leftbrain fascism,

Isolating nationalism
self-righteously defending militaristic supremacy
and patriarchal privilege of an apartheid State
moving toward fear-mongered isolationism
supporting competitively debating
predative politicization
of capitalism

Rather than recognizing ourselves
as nations resting and wrestling
and co-investing
on interdependent continents
articulating green/blue loyalty to Earth
and no less nation
or solitary incontinence.

Please Do Panic

Writing yet another note to my straight white CongressMan,
asking him to Please, Do Panic
about all this fear-based non-legislation
undemocratic fascist
nationalistic Win/Lose evolutionary corrupt
democratic devolution
going on around
and within us,

I’m wearing a white 1970s vintage Tshirt
from Castro Street’s Don’t Panic
political resistance and celebration
apparel.

Fifty years later,
I think it is well past time
to take the cooperativist
win/win panic plunge,

With a bold
black framed message:

THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT
IS WRONG

My son’s Haitian-American nurse,
married
and straight
as a military-industrialized arrow,
without the slightest quiver
of vocalized doubt,

Sexy darkbrown skin,
greying at his wisdom temples,
and a devout capitalist 7th Day Adventist
family provider man
of second or third evangelical generation,

Wants to know
if he, in 2020,
is affiliated with what my Tshirt says
to the Religious Right of 1975.

Possibly,
but I have always known you
as part of a Spiritual Right,

Which does not
too liberally judge
outside your own sensory satisfactory experience,

And is informed
and transparently curious
to learn from your own
sensory anticipations
of healthy smells
and wealthy tastes,
what feels good
and touches right,

And to responsibly stretch
your own sensory anxieties/anticipations
without blaming
or ambiguously shaming yourself
for not accepting who you are
right now
in this life
flowing toward
who we will become sacredly together,
spiritually and naturally,
tomorrow.

Which must,
in good right faith,
inevitably become a more rooted choice
to not be some other spiritual
or anti-spiritual life,
sometimes anxious about monoculturally competing
and other times anticipating
multicultural engagement
to be most naturally/spiritually right
in the ZeroZone pocket
of just Right EarthNursing balance.

Finding right religion
in natural/spiritual sensory experience;
your own phenomenological journey
embeds our shared ontological history
of sensory
neurological reweaving
re-ligioning psychological
left/right
yang/yin ancient sensory co-arising climax
of co-awareness,
consciousness,
co-operative con-scientiousness,
Ego/Eco-Systemic Balance.

My son’s 7th Day Adventist
Black Lives Matter
Haitian-American straight male nurse responds,

“Thank you.
That’s true.”

“Where can I find this shirt?
I would like one to wear
to our church picnic.
My extended Right spiritual family
will have many paniced health questions.”

And concerns
about green democratic wealth, I add.

“And, as you say,
some surprisingly grateful
gospel faith
anticipations.”
