Therapeutic Mentoring

Educational process,
like any systemic change with progressive intent,
is not only about successfully transferring exegetical traditions
to the next hopefully all-consuming generation.

That may be the more surface half of trans-generational learning,
and a necessary portion,
but the deeper,
innovatively absorbing
co-redemptive half,
is about learning transformative therapeutic balance
as contrasted to anthropocentric orthodox imbalance.

Systemic interdependence,
like growing up healthy,
is more long-term deeply resonant
and self-with-other co-empathic
resilient
than from-above business as usual
pedagogy

Wearing diverse paradigmatic labels,
multiculturally synonymous health-wealth acclimating
ethotic mind and erotic body regenerative
more than egocentric and anthropocentric degenerative,
Win v Lose imbalanced
Either True or False
All Good or All Bad fundamentalist
dualistic pathologies.

Educators
might also want to be non-fundamentalist
co-passionate mentors
reminding active young nondual mindbodies
that descriptive pathologists also tend to push prescriptive therapies.

Warnings against burning in eternal hellfire
intend to change or prevent something
that might be more heavenly ordained,
balancing deviant erotic with ethotic-positive intent,
rather than continuing degenerative sin-filled dissonance
unease
anxiety
wanting mind v needing body.

Active deep learners
will expect to rediscover
that dialectical development cycles
include pre- and post-revolutionary stages
of appositional consilience
in-between exegetical authority
and eisegetical responsibility
for democratizing governance ethos,
discernment and discussion skill sets
for cooperative self+other eros-informed learning
through co-empathic vulnerable communication
with transparent polyculturing co-investment
in positive deep listening.

Active progressive and processive theology
and ecology
and ethological listeners, then deep-felt meaning speakers,
might learn to recognize
pre- and post-revolutions of language
of science
of artistic media
of resonant harmonic performance
and policy
and planning
and practice environments,
begin with given-view dominance,
LeftBrain encultured through language acquisition

Yet look for some superseding paradigm of felt connection
religious culture
and social learning
with equivalent RightBrain polyamorous simplicity
transparency of before
with win/win commensurable after
Tipping Revolution Points
within our slow and deep evolving process

Of bicameral
binomial
bilaterally equivalent teaching
and eros-ethos transition
body-mind learning
resonantly positive deviant
multiculturally co-evolutionary
ecto/endo symbiotic
learning trials by co-mentoring errors

To transition deeply trusted wisdom
through co-redemptive Win/Win empowering politics
of redundantly resonant communication
strings of deep-dense space/time
body/mind dialectical
eros/ethos bicameral resonance.

Not too much stale overdrawn exegesis
about humane-mind v divine-body purpose
and
Not too much wildly ecstatic symbiosis
of deeply and widely resilient meaning

For mentoring EarthMother’s whole evolving loaf
of polyculturing days and nights,
don’t forget the pre-bake flour,
but don’t forget your gifted
borrowed
deeply engaged yeast either.

Planning v Praying

Prayer’s wealthy positive potential
is not as substitute for healthcare planning.

Prayer might be a prelude to planning,
and might be an appropriate postlude
to fully implemented plans,
whether psalm of gratitude
or requiem of remorse
depending on healing or diseasing outcomes.

Even better,
some gratitude and humble remorse,
held together,
demonstrating we have learned something
from our nondual co-arising trial and error
and yet continue improving
our loving healthcare refinements.

But, whether my life plans are what happened
while Earth continuously revolved in other distressing directions,
or I continue learning to plan somewhat more cooperatively
and multiculturally
and polyculturally
and polyamorously

Inductive prayer and deductive plans co-arising
integrally more than separately,
hopeful prayer is the faithful planner’s co-redemptive bookend,
Alpha and Omega double-binding points
of interreligious
peaceful reorientation

Not my personal How to Save the World book,
much less evangelically seminal scripture.

Prayer is my yeasty bread and liturgical garnish,
embodied needs to rise and dance,
mind wants to sing romance,
but not the red arteries and blue veins
of ego/ecologically balanced
lovely heart-care planning.

Something defenders of the 1st
and 2nd Amendments
might want to hold together

You have no authentic freedom of speech
or rights of interreligious
interdependently polyamorous
polytheistic expression
if I have the right to aim a gun
at monotheistic
monocultural caste preservers,
monopoly players
who disagree
unarmed.

And I have no authentic prayer
for victims of ballistic violence
that doesn’t include
intercessory planning.

Sketchy Boundary Issues

My left-brain dominant challenge
begs for a worldview
of unconditional warm regard

Which sometimes feels uncomfortably warm
through heated confrontations
confused about whose voice is rightfully speaking
respectfully with whom

And who is listening curiously
for
and with whom
to practice universal
uniting compassion,
employing warm organically-fed tools
sometimes slow as molasses
in January

Not cold steel weapons,
icicles aimed for the hearts
and minds of difficult Others.

On our best days
and nights
not too coldly distant
and not too heatedly dissonant

Even on our worst traumatic days
and narcissistic dramatic nights,
silent listening voices
urge unconditionally curious regard

To avoid slippery unsafe
unhealthy slopes
of anger blaming lack of patience
and self-shaming fear
reacting against Others’ impatience

Judgment
that I am not important enough
to respect,
to regard,
to notice,
to matter,
to value,
to appreciate,
to love
unconditionally

Outside my left-hemisphere dominant
claustrophobic box
of mere linear
cause-effect
univocal reason

And

Inside limbic right-hemisphere resonance,
dark/light
mindful inside/outside
enlightenment/empowerment

For integral indigenous mind/bodies
peaceful spirit/natures
recreating co-passionate ego/eco-spirals
transforming queer uniting mirrors
rebalancing yin/yang boundary treasons
reassessing Earth’s safe wealth/health seasons

For white male privileged
left-brain dominant challenges
continuing to punish and divide
insufficient time from sufficient sacred space
for unconditional warm regard.

Sacred HerStory

As ancient matriarchal polytheism
of local, domestic economic circles
gave way to patriarchal elite empire-builders,

Transcendent monotheism not only overwhelmed
immanent herstoric polytheism
but this had the further historical effect
of secularizing nature’s evolving narrative
and desecrating anthro-exceptionalist verbal nature

LeftBrain Powers of persuasive speech
fallen from an original animated experience
of indigenously wise win/win resonant sounds
harmonic songs
spoken legends
inspired myths
of polytheistic GoldenRule Paradise Lost
disharmonious evil
retold dissociations
bedeviling competitions

Wealth Spirited Man v Health Natured MotherEarth
Natural Mono-Man v Spiritual PolyTheistic Earth,
AnthroHistory v Her Indigenous EarthStory
Transcendent White Patriarchy v Marginalized NonWhite EcoMatriarchs
History v Her Indigenous Story

Lost in misty herstoric myths
of formerly sacred EarthMothers
with wiki-powers of healing,
nurturing multicultural humane
RightListening empowerment

Through nutritional
polyculturally divine
LeftUnSpoken enlightenment

HerStoric feelings
needs survival
wants thrival
shared by strong-rooted plants
soulful spirited animals
including bicamerally balanced people
populating EarthMother’s sacred
polytheistic
health-wealthing planet.

Sabbath Hope

I hope to visit next Sunday
on a warm
sunny
early PeaceGiving afternoon

Outside with my wounded Daughter’s
extending therapeutic family
with win/win playful
and richly resonant intent

Inside her new
young
empowering
and cooperatively enlightened

Thankful
mind-full music
and muse dancing
mythically
mysteriously
majestically joyful home.

Summer Saturday

On a Michigan farmer Saturday
in August,
anticipating tomorrow’s evangelical Sabbath,

When late summer vacations
invoked pre-sacred house cleanings
more unusually light,

Heading outside after lunch
into this spectacularly breezy
blue billowing
discontinuously cumulus cloudy
in-between radiant sky blue
infinite wonder

Into this awesomely long leisurely afternoon
becoming one of those special kids
sent out to rediscover solitary play
while Mom clears HER kitchen
to fill our kitchen
with impossible fragrance
of Sunday dinner rhubarb pie
or fresh strawberry shortcake,
whipping vanilla or banana cream
while boiling sweet yellow corn,
baking mac and ancient cheddar cheese
for this evening’s pre-dusk compline dinner.

On this first summer celebrating Saturday
of low humidity
and temperatures predicting September 70s

Out past our red barn
and past its barnyard lily pond
and into golden stubbled hay fields,
sheared sexy contoured face
of my temporarily uncloseted gay imaginings
hoping for YangGod’s sexiest face
smiling in sabbath of return

Continuing on
to private green cool woodland
to nakedly climb a favorite tree
skin to naked bark,
full-bodied embrace
of this fabulous shared EarthLife
transparent
and open
and breezy free with God’s inclusive hope.

Out to play
and pray
this day
and month
and vacation
and re-creation
will never end

Or end,
if time must continue,
in moonlit radiant peace,
night dreams
of asking into perfect Sabbath.

The Pleasure Principle

I’m not sure what Freud’s Pleasure Principle is all about,
or was about Health and Safety;

Whether it’s in
or out,

Whether hedonistic
and narcissistic
or the mundane
secular
capitalist
corporate product
of efficient sexual therapy
and heartless entertainments.

Whether the Principle is applicable
only to secular masters
for optimal “sacred rights” experience

Or also accessible to sacred slaves
as our secularized vocation
to provide for our nasty property owners,

Whether it is the primary purpose
of capitalism’s efficient,
if ruthlessly competitive,
corporate monocultural deformation
into post-climax apathy
and cynicism
and cruel and unusual punishments,

Yet, somehow,
as I merge into this stream
of organic fossils
still miraculously refueling,

I am sure this Pleasure Principle,
Beacon of Health and Safety Bliss,
Paradise Pursuit

Could only be entered
by those wise enough to recognize
it is cooperatively
globally
multiculturally owned,
managed interfaith communion,
interdependently experienced
and multiplied

Into raptures
of organic/cosmic
internal/external climates
of and for personal
political
economic
ecological
theological
neurological win/win Climax

Of spaciated bilateral Time
dynamically equals revolutionary bicameral Space
in NonZero-Sum
open-holistic yet still emergent
equipoise waves
of self/other co-conscious
co-passionate
co-empathic
co-intentional
co-operative comm-union comm-unication.

Well,
thanks for sharing all that.

De nada;
my Pleasure.
