Economically Great Political Health

What are your power values and disvalues?

What are the political powers and weaknesses,
capacities and incapacities,
of economic value and disvalue?
What values are not for sale?
What powers are available, but only without commodification,
without any price paid in return?

I’m noticing my economic values,
like ecological healthcare values,
co-arise with powers of cooperative relationships

Empowering win/win relationships
are not exhausting win/lose competitive exchanges
understood as broadly as possible to effect
increase
not decrease
or at least sustain resonant environmental wealth investments
in resiliently healthy anthropocentric
and EarthCentric regenerative eco-normic life.

My physical body’s powers
and lack of powers
to re-invest in metaphysical economic comprehension
of personal investment in,
and past divestment away from,
mentally and physically robust health-grace
does not replicate past pathology-disgrace,
loss of empowering face.

My eco-organic development v decay,
and ego-powered greatness v weakness,
draw from cooperative body-with-mind confluent health
versus competitive eco-body against ego-mind
dissonant pathology

Not multiculturally inclusive grace of health
reflecting sacred Earth’s polycultural climax
resilient ecological wealth

physical-natural outside systems
resonantly neuro-empowering
eco-normative resilient
mental-spiritual inside systems.

Polypathic bilateral structures empowering win/win regenesis
and disempowering monopolistic win/lose degenerativity,
heading toward both political and economic
lose/lose despair.

Do we make nation-states
on living planet Earth
weaker or greater by politically
and economically cooperative re-generativity
of progressively emergent
organically synergetic
democratic healthcare rights?

Responsible speech and freeing actions
of and for win/win wealthy/health
politically enlightened minds
and ecologically empowered organic bodies,
bicamerally re-connected intelligence
of beloved EcoPolitical Communities (M. L. King)
heading toward resilient polycultural climax (Permaculture Design)

Yang/Yin balanced
and proportioned
polyculture of healthy wealth
politically cooperative
resilient economic EarthScience.

Earth’s geobiological past,
problematic present,
and traumatic future health degenerative process
toward active distrust rabidity
projects weakening post-climatic pathology

A darkening bearish economic shadow
of what once was a polycultural climax-promising
global biosystem

learning how to correct unhealthy investments in ego-,
ethno-,
national-
and anthro-supremacist predative pathologies
by reversing current LeftBrain verbally dominant miseducation,
shifting to an ecopolitical Tipping Point pedagogy
of LiberalMind/ConservationalBody
sacred/organic balance
nurturing great democratically loving
pro-EarthLife empowerment values.

What could a living planet’s economic values possibly become
other than nutritional merits
of healthy neurosystemic compassion
for wealthy ecosystemic pleasure?

Liberating political minds
within conserving economic bodies
seeking win/win co-binary
individually peaceful and systemically restorative
bicamerally co-invested
healthcare reviving
co-intelligence powers.

So, what are your religiously right
and great sacred mind enlightening
organic body empowering values
and unhealthy
irreligious disvalues?

Keeping America Safe

A prayer for God to bless Americans,
whether northern or southern,
is also a reminder of traditional political mindfulness,
basic awareness of our economic investments
in global health and security.

No one “keeps” these northern confederations
of uniting states and provinces
safe from ecocide.

MAGA prayers for growing greatness
assume they have voted for great leaders
with concern that we are at risk
of failure to thrive

Ecologically
and economically
and politically
and culturally
and physically
and mentally
and spiritually safe hopes
and unsafe realities.

We are each on a continuum of health v pathology
as individuals,
as is each of our States,
as is this Nation as a whole ecopolitical system.

“America” refers to two continents,
one to the north and one to the south.
A U.S. safety and health security measure
must become attainable health
and responsible safety policy and procedure
for this quartile of living loving Earth.

Yet Republican leaders are heading in an ecologically unhealthy,
and therefore increasingly unsafe, direction,
more immediately for our coastal nations and
disuniting Right v Left sanctuaries
and irreligious monocultures.

Safe for, and from, what?

Traditional U.S.A. conservative minds care about Scripture
and the Constitution’s Preamble
and Declaration of Independence.
Here we read we are united in healthy pursuits of happy prosperity.
We also New Testament read we compose OneBody in freedom
to grow a great multicultural relationship with God,
free of dominating irreligious clergy,
free of unfaithful disinformation
and divisive partisan constraints,
restraints,
and economic taxation or fines
against practicing spiritual integrity

No great crusades against those who bow to the East.
If we all did,
then God might smile upon inter-religious goodness
and safety
and healthier greatness
and call us to a more fully engaging multiculturally wise day
mutually inviting sacred EarthTribe humility.

Does separation of inter-communing re-ligious declarations
and constitutions
and scriptures
grow north and south American greatness
and safer eco-political prosperity?

Towers of anthro-supremacist Babel
are radical building-greatness experiments
in part because polyamorous inter-religious systems,
institutions of intended regenerative resilience
toward safe and healthy ecosystemic governance
throughout sacred history,
unveil differences between powers of polytheistic love
and love of monotheistic power.

MultiCulturing a re-ligiously safe and healthy eco-political practice
is not ecologically equivalent
nor educationally equivalent
to dissociative secularization of a nationalistic society
and/or monotheistic privileged Cult.

We both undermine and oversell sacred Earth’s climate safety
by purging ourselves of gospel faith and empathic trust in each Other,
faith in Earth’s creative cooperative health and multigenerational resilience

Not bleaching synergetic interfaith out of public EarthFirst discourse,
especially education,
engaging deep listening-learning mindfulness
about our personally salvific states
growing polyculturing trust
and not monotheistic distrust

Communing positive faiths
not negative Othering prejudices
within our interior neurosystems
and across North and South American ecosystems
of a remarkably great and healthy and safe co-evolving,
polyculturing,
dynamic-revolving Earth.

Nature/Spirit nondualistic learning comprehends open-systemic
co-empathic loves,
integrities,
indigenously panentheistic truths,
synergetic trust,
polyculturing evolution of healthy climates
within and without
our transgenerational polyamorous selves.

Authentic prayers to keep the U.S. safe from absence of health
embrace ecological learning from past polycultural successes
and monoculturing mistakes

Which seems healthier, safer, greater?

  1. Aiming deadly and toxic ballistics at whoever we currently fear
    as aliens
    infestations
    immigrants inflicting terror from outside our own boundaries,
    or
  2. Aiming healthy climate cooperative policies and procedures
    at the neurosystemic traumas within our own sacred skins,
    and stated boundaries.

Prophets,
Medicine Men,
preachers and teachers,
shamans and seers,
saints and messiahs and bodhisattva warriors,
mystics and gurus,
even motivational speakers
and Anger Management therapists
throughout the history of languaged culture itself
have looked into our futures
within every color and multicultural creed
to remind us we will become positively known for our regenerational love,
our evolving capacity to cooperate,
as generously and gratefully as ecopolitically possible,
until no unhealthy monoculturing terrorist would choose to live in his lesser environment of fundamentalist exclusions
from neuro/eco-systemic peaceful wisdom.

Our best health and safety American offensive for positive change on Earth
remains as always
a multiculturally integrative
power of loving
global health caring
inter-religious (not irreligiously divisive) defense.

We already declared our interdependent political will to grow freedom
from supremacist religious
royalist rightwing tyrannies
against the great cooperative
multiculture-nurturing democratic faiths
of our Elders.

We have already written a Constitution for states of healthy democratic enlightenment,
for multicultural health
and global safety
and empowering co-invested prosperity.

We just need better re-ligiously prayerful practice.
Our lack of adherence to our own good-news shared
Holy Nature/Spirit traditional ideals
threatens further climatic
overly-competitive, ballistic distrust
and monocultural devolution,
disarray,
dissonance,
decay.

Keeping Earth safe
may be a monotheistic mandate.
If so, we become one united state of being free
for further multicultural evolution of health
and globally inclusive climate safety.

May our polyculturing
polyamorous God
continue to bless all our North and South Americans,
keeping us safe
from anthropocentric supremacy.

Primal Voices and Choices

Paranoia feeds on dark roots.
In full bloom, everything and everyone that happens against me
happens for a sinister conspiratorial reason.
This is my felt conjecture,
to which I respond
by struggling against trust
in Other’s monopolistic monocultural Wins,
so I might survive to tolerate
yet another scrappy day of paranoia.

Pronoia feeds on everything and everyone
not out to get me
but more in to let me
happen for a blessed season
with which I am invested to resonate,
including my fair share of struggling with,
but not against,
my WinLose enculturation
so we might thrive to mutually WinWin
yet another multiculturing
polypathic
Beloved Community Way.

This is our primal ecopolitical choice,
Both-And over Either-Or,
made each moment in time’s evolving articulation
deep learning incarnation
of days and nights
within this not-paranoia and not-pronoia
in-between identity,
risk with opportunity
conjectural life.

Conservative LeftBrain Either-Or
sees a bipolar world
of either I am saved
or demonic,
either I am part of the solution
or part of the problem,
either I am True
or I am False,
only pretending to be True
to get you to become False.

Liberating Elder RightBrain Both-And
fluid feelings
multi-sensually engage in a dipolar EarthTribe
in which I experience pronoia on healthy days
and paranoia on more challenging days,
I am an integral and authentic organic part
of EarthTribe’s living win/win resolution
and part of an irreligious ecocidal global problem,

I sometimes feel unconditional warm regard
with peak win/win opportunities to Trust
and usually also feel win/lose risks of MisTrust
and occasionally paranoid panic
with deep dissociative valleys
of shadows
of death,
lose/lose despairing DisTrust.

But, even should this become bipartisan political science,
bicameral neuropsychology,
bilaterally conjectured co-intelligence,
let us not delude ourselves into a hypnotic state of academic neutrality,
ambivalently pretending either choice is equally healthy,
when ecocidal outcomes are so clearly etched in patriarchal bones
of troubling dissociative history.

Love’s mutual promise clearly points toward evolutions
embracing elegant polyculturally resonant
healthy democratic systems furthering win/win wealth,
while paranoid fundamentalist God v Man terror
degenerates toward further traumatic pathology,
afraid of our own anthro-suprema-cast
dark blaming mind v shameful body

Conjecturing fundamentally irreligious
punishing
paranoid shadows.

SunDay Before Selection

I asked my drab dressed Sabbath Teacher,
Who do you think Jesus would vote for?

As was her way
even today
she had her querulous say,
What would Jesus do?

He would ask,
and so should all of you,

Is this a loving
kind thing
to do
or not do?

Is this a loving
caring relationship
to continue,
to widen
and deepen,
to feed health,
to breed safe natural beauty wealth?

I was nearly asleep
by the time she sing-songed her predictable
faith-based dance
through the litany
of Jesus begat HealthyLove
when she delivered that last
politically curious line.

What would Jesus do
or not do
to feed and breed safe
natural
beautiful
and truly resilient wealth?

How would Jesus vote
or not vote
to feed and breed
neurosystemically resonant
resiliently sacred
peace communion wealth?
Might be how my SocialPsychology Preacher
would LeftBrain think to ask

How will each bipartisan win/win candidate
vote
or not vote,
act
or not act,
speak
or stay silent,
to feed and breed
neurosystemically healthy,
cooperative neuro-diverse wealthy,
compassionate verbal
and nonverbal CommunioNation?

Is this a loving
caring
kind vote
for healthy neurosystemic relationships
to win/win grow,
to continue to feed sacred enlightenment
and breed consensexual
passion/pleasure
Left/Right
bicamerally intelligent empowerment?

Which is maybe
what my dour Sabbath Teacher
was hoping to feed and breed
on that last class
before transparently vulnerable selection
to widen EarthTribe’s
safe
natural
beauty enlightened CommonWealth,
and deepen
neurosystemically spiritual
empowering
panentheistic health

Well sung
and wellness danced,
liberally enlightened
and conservatively empowered,
left and win/win right
into my Jesus-informed
trauma-free voting booth.

Orthodox v Orthopraxis

Yogi Berra said:
In theory there is no difference from practice.
In practice, there is

Applying this to communication theory:
In nonviolence theory
there is no difference from practice
of win/win compassion.
Yet, in Business as Win/Lose Usual
Patriarchal political monoculturing practice
and Capital monopolistic economic intent
there are no virtues calculated for compassionate communication,
for merciful creolizing political views,
and restorative forgiveness
for matricidal sins
of our StraightWhite Patriarchs

Ignorant about healthy polycultural,
resilient
therapeutic integral relationships
in response to systemic trauma.

Nonviolent communication orthodoxy
enlightens everything
but nothing positive win/win prevails.
Compassion’s transparent and vulnerable win/win practice
unveils every positive relationship
becoming co-empowered
but no one person knows why.

In our EarthRestorative lab,
nonviolent verbal theory
and compassionate nonverbal practice
are bicamerally combined:
nothing win/lose prevails
and every resilient relationship
compassionately feels why
0-sum theoretical assumptions
do not comply
with Earth’s Whole Open Systemic
virtuously therapeutic practice
of avoiding viciously competitive theories.

Speaking From Felt Experience

Enjoying Earth’s promised land
of compassionate
multicultural communion,
we share a preference for deep
rich soil
and fertile green-blue
resonating surf

As our bodies adjust
to rocky and prickly
either me
or not me space

And our minds flow
back and forth
through gooey both “me”
and organic neurosensory “we”
peace searching times
of glad/bad memory,
healthy peak and unwealthy valley
remembering felt body trauma
and mindfully resilient therapies

Inhaling Earth’s past sacred unions
Exhaling into conjoined future
compassionate communion.

These reflections came to mind
this morning
as I recalled a recent clergy question:

“What did you FEEL
when you first read
this proposal for a change
in our corporate
orthodox
Universal Salvific
and Unitarian CoRedemptive
liberated feminist tradition.”

I remember listening for neuro-sensexually
enlightened language
for distinguishing core
empowered/disempowered Feelings
primally limited to:

Glad-anticipating win/win peak mind/body experiences
Bad-anxious about lose/lose dualdark valley experiences
Sad-depressed about my own win/lose long-term chances
Mad-about suppressed short-term survival
odds against overpowering PatriarchalGod’s
timeless dispassion.

My gladness trying to thrive
despite an unholy trinity
responding to trauma history
of multigenerational peak/valley surfing
change

Transitions
in glad health opportunities
reforming bad unease
sad disease
mad missing ease
invoking dissociative
neuro-sensexual despair
informing future opportunities
for compassionate repair.

Out of twenty
LeftBrain verbal dominant responses
to this spirited natural feelings question,
only two mentioned feelings
underlying
predicting positive
and negative
and ambivalent thoughts.

One said both glad about opportunity
for deep communal dialogue
and sad about lowly lay victims
speaking against too powerful and unenlightened
religious professional orchestrations

Us v them rhetoric
creating a polarizing culture
of win/lose
0-sum
closed-off
competitive
destabilizing trauma

Lack of EarthPeace
and Restorative Justice
in the deep rich soil
and fertile green-blue surf
of nature-spirited communion
opportunities for peak dialogical experiences
of LeftMind/RightBody
enlightened/empowering
FatherSun/MotherEarth co-passionate
revival.

Another wise woman elder responded
with “confused”
which encompasses,
without resonantly resolving,
all of Glad and Bad
Sad and Mad
chaotic flowing mind
feeling toxically disembodied
from sacred healing peace
restoring EarthTribe Justice
co-passionate mission statements
EarthTribe healing vocations.

What no one said
was “compassion”
for the romantic-comedy of peak experienced Glad
and the traumatic-tragedy of dark valley experienced
Bad’s
short-term Mad
and long-term chronic Sad
Lose/Lose absence
of healthy
enlightened
messianic minds

Surfing through empowered
co-redemptive neurosensory
bodhisattva bodies
of spiritual/natural
mental/physical
co-passionate communicators

Win/win naturally resilient
co-mediating spiritual practicers
rooted in peak experiences
of comprehensive synergetic feelings
more resiliently Glad
than dispassionately Bad

Speaking our restorative justice
free and co-responsive win/win
searching truths
to patriarchal/capitalist
win/lose systemic trauma.

ReCentering Domestic NonViolence

This brisk, sunny March morning, I return from delivering my son to his adult daycare van.

Upon opening The Norwich Times, I delight to read the new Center for Safe Futures “will be taking a huge step forward in how well we can serve the growing number of our neighbors who need help with domestic violence…”

After reading the article, I am delighted about this significant half-step toward a more integrated and holistic service structure to improve safety and well-being outcomes for victims and survivors of violence, assault, stalking, physical and verbal hate-crime abuse, black-market sale pricing for using powerless and unheard and unseen and uncared for human bodies commodified to provide third party capital profits, and other disturbing forms of predative trauma.

Violently polarizing drama threatens trust in neighborhood-felt survival, and our civil, compassionate community thrival, every time we hear, and, god forbid, exhaustively watch depressing, national history-making news brought to us by our uncivil, wounded and wounding retributive criminal justice systems; uncaring, unhealthy, and certainly not holistic empowerment systems for nonviolent reconciliation.

My colleagues on the Norwich Youth, Family, and Recreation Advisory Board have become used to my eagerness to celebrate half-steps toward win/win strategic restorative peace while simultaneously sternly reconsidering our missing nonviolent communication step away from retributive win/lose justice systems. World wide webs pitching prey against predator, cultivating my despair about polarizing dissociative drama rooted in divisive demonizing trauma systems that do not empower resilient health and safely resonant domestic wealth.

Down near the bottom of the first front-page column I read, “Service providers and community partners will work together to break the [systemic trauma] cycle of violence and abuse.” Wow! Now this is an unexpected good news mission statement!

On second thought, it does echo messianic scriptured messages about the Christian Prince of Peace’s salvific mission, and that, so far, feels like an aging, poor in spirit, and increasingly despairing half-empty step toward downsizing EarthJustice expectations for global nonviolent peace and justice.

In my wild decaffeinated morning meditations, this eagerly anticipated aspiration, to break the win/lose bonds of systemic trauma, reminds me of a huge covenant change proposed for discussion at All Souls UU, in New London.

“We covenant to dismantle racism and all forms of systemic oppression.” I wonder how we would practice such powerful “Beloved Community” passion. How could our faith communities help break the vicious cycle of violence, abuse, and emotional neglect fueling neurosystemic trauma?

Perhaps Restorative Justice and Peace Reconciliation practices of nonviolent communication could empower transparent and vulnerable dialogue between defendants and predators, so often brought together and stuck together by addictive codependence–which feels safer, and economically healthier than aching loneliness, emptiness, hopelessness, despair of punishment, shame, blame, Othering judgments that we do not merit unconditional warm regard.

My own therapeutic feelings of hope, informed by Multicultural Community Mediation, focusses on safer and healthier and emotionally wealthier compassionate relationships. Empowering intention and win/win designed retention I cannot find in this article. It misses a redemptive half-step that could prophetically declare we will not tolerate the “vengeance is mine” heresy that perpetuates future victimization. Excommunication brought to us by judicial and police systems inciting weaponized trauma among those voted least likely to succeed by disassociated peers.

Is it reasonable to hope this Center for Safe Futures, and all the best intervention and prevention practices advertised by an expanding Family Justice Center model may be fully baptized in the peace-making waters of Restorative Justice?

Will domestically healthy and safe mission statements survive the ribbon cutting to become resiliently saved from past systemic trauma sins of our Straight White Patriarchal fathers?

I guess I’m still waiting, as my acidic coffee stomach turns cold with impatient curiosity, for some other brilliantly brighter good news front-page article announcing the multiculturally grand virtues of neurosystemic trauma-informed therapeutic projects to ReCenter Healthy Bodies and Safe Mind Wellness Futures.

Compassionate futures that restore virtuous communion circles of therapeutic repair–and not viciously retributive, accountability trauma hierarchies continuing to promise more efficiently enlightened from-above services, still half-stepping toward managing a universally disunitarian pandemic of dissociative despair.

Weapons of Trauma Defense

When personal narcissism
and tribal autism
choose our words
as hurting
threatening
weapons of trauma defense

Rather than choosing wealth
of healing tools
for compassion’s therapeutic unfence

We soon find
that no one cares
to impatiently listen
outside our partisan walls

For whatever future win/win kindness
and EarthCare forgiveness
we cannot trust
will last.
