Says Csikszentmihalyi,
“Social scientists
(Abraham Maslow, Lawrence Kohlberg, Jane Loevinger, [Ken Wilber, Edward Podvoll, Julian Jaynes, Jack Kornfield, Richard Dawkins, Clare Graves, Carl Jung] and James Fowler)
describe a dialectical [fractal] motion
between [Yang v Yin bipolar] differentiation
and [Yang+Yin dipolar] integration,
between turning attention inward [RightHemisphere preverbal intuition]
and then outward [LeftHemisphere verbal cognition],
between valuing the self [CoPassionate AnthroMind]
and then the larger [CoPleasuring EarthBody] community.”
Adds Don Beck and Christopher Cowan,
exploring their positive WinWin Thought Experiments,
about when and where and why and why not
knot now
equals both past neurosystemic wealthy
and best-trending future ecosystemic healthy relationships
“One [fractal] family is designated with warm colors [interior culture]
(BEIGE,
RED,
ORANGE,
YELLOW)
which represent Express-self,
‘I'[EgoMind-cognitive v EcoBody-intuitive]-oriented MEMEs.
The other [cobinary fractal] group is assigned cool colors
(PURPLE,
BLUE,
GREEN,
TURQUOISE)
and are the Sacrifice-self,
‘we'[EcoBody intuitive + EgoMind-cognitive]-oriented set.”
“If too much [AnthroCognitiveMind] ‘me’-ism is the problem,
then a form of ‘we'[EarthIntuitiveBody]-ness
will then be required
to restore [conserve neuro-sexsensory/ecosystemic] balance.
If the ‘we’ is excessive,
then liberation
of some ‘me’ [AnthroCognitiveMind, left hemisphere verbal differentiation dominance]
becomes attractive
if [cognitiveMind-intuitiveBody] harmony [healthy resonance]
is desired.”
My LeftHemisphere “anthro-me” neurological cognition
longs for inter-religious resonance
with RightHemisphere’s win/win “EarthBody-We” ecological intuition
Beck and Cowan echo indigenous wisdom traditions,
perhaps most cobinary articulated
within Taoist YangSage/YinMuse paradoxical co-governance
of AnthroMind-monotheistic SunGod enlightenment
and EarthBody-polytheistic EarthGaia empowerment
“The shift toward Communal/Collective coming to peace within
requires a [win/win pronoia] radar-like [neurosystemic] sense
so external [ecological positive co-relationship] messages can be picked up quickly
and accurately,
[+1 AnthroMindFull/EarthBody -(-0) copassion/not not pleasure] magnified,
and (win/win) feedback incorporated
to insure [enlightened liberating MeMind
empowering conserving WeBody co-governing] compliance.”
“The [LeftBrain verbally dominant] shift toward Individual
move against and take control
requires an internalized [bicameral cobinary bipolar/dipolar
either/or + both/and
oppositional = appositional
dialectically fractal] gyroscope-like intelligence
the self-directed [cobinary co-passionate neurological resonance] compass needed
to explore new [Me/We ego/eco-logicaly thriving] territories,
sail into uncharted [potential win/win synergetic] waters,
and break with the [un]safety of [survivalist win v lose
anthropocentric-monoculturing
either Me or We dualistic irreligious] traditions.”
Rob Brezsny’s Pronoia calls such synergetic dialectical emergence
“The Outlaw Catalog of Cagey Optimism”
yet others above may recognize dynamic nature-body/spirit-mind echoes
within Pronoia MindPsychology is also at least not Paranoia BodyPathology
A co-empathic sense of metaphysical sacred trust
as also physical organic EarthBody truth
and wealthy Anthro-economic healthy Earth-political
balancing indigenously wise beauty.
Pronoia’s Catalog includes
“AGGRESSIVE SENSITIVITY [courageous curiosity?]
Animated
by a strong determination
to be[come even more resonant Me-mind] receptive
and [resilient We-body co]-empathic.”
“ALIGNMENT WITH THE INFINITY [AnthroMind-now/EarthBody-here non-dualistic
non-violent non-verbal integrity?]
OF THE MOMENT.”
“BASKING IN ELDER [RIGHT-BRAIN] WISDOM.
A state of expansive [organic EarthRoot] ripeness
achieved through listening
to the [sacred AnthroCrown] stories
of [indigenous SageCrown/MuseRoot] elders.”
“BLASPHEMOUS REVERENCE.
Acting on the knowledge
that the most efficacious [resilient] form of devotion
to the Divine Wow
[peak human-MeMind/divine-WeBody climaxing coital experience]
is [neuro-sexsensually] tinctured with playful
or mischievous behavior
[co-passionate/pleasure resonance]
that prevents the [winMe v loseWe 0-sum competitive] buildup
of [LeftBrain/RightWing anthropocentric Me-theistic ideological]
fanaticism.”
“COMIC [COSMIC?] INTROSPECTION.
Being fully aware of your own [anthropocentric] foibles
while still loving your[EarthBody]self tenderly
and maintaining confidence in your ability
to give your specific [AnthroCulture wealth-crowning] genius
to the [EarthClimate health-rooting] world.”
