For reconnected empowering bicameral enlightenment

For intelligent

Said LeftBrain dominant
Thing autonomous ego One
to RightBrain nonverbally flexing
Things bilaterally ecosystemic
and polypathically interdependent,

Living Healthier Together

That we are

And, that we are together

Liberating Philanthropists

I doubt a benefactor,
philanthropist,
a short-term financial investor,
could optimally provide
protect
prevail with
an ecopolitically healthy therapeutic service

Yet,
intersectionally,
interdependently,
multiculturally,
poly-sensorily
fall far short
of co-investing in cooperative
sacred green ecofeminist
organic empowering
and enlightening communion.

Disempowering
codependent
anthrosupremacist services
in some way(s) Other,
commodifying non-profit and government intention,
subjugating potential enrichment rivals,
marginalizing direct service providers

These, often HealthTrust and WealthBeauty

regeneratively throws resonant
and resilient

bigenderal opportunities
for and of restoring
CoAttaching Green EcoPolitical Communion,

All co-invested cooperative life systems
are about as likely to have appeared,
as disappeared,
win/win TrueAtomic
and Synergetic WaveLinear

As a Yang/Yintegral polyculturing slut
creolizing his/her/their predative PatriarchOther
needs sacred HerOther
in hearted heat Welcoming-Wombing Self

More than S/He lives to merely
ever-more serve philanthropic benefits
as unfavorably contrasted with
committing to cooperatively lusty solidarity
empowering and enlightening
fertile resilient thriving

Entries and exits
for compassion
passions cooperatively climaxing,
ecopolitically predicting long-term healthy
and safe win/win
global,
universally uniting afterglow.

At least more so
than waking up the next morning
sadly realizing your latest RightWing investment
further jeopardizes health
and safe wealth of all our grandchildren
and their foodchains
and their climate healthcare infrastructures
and their ecopolitical co-investing cooperatives
and their green indigenous wisdom deals.

PolyCultural Communion

As PolyCultural Communion

Conscious of natural/spirit

By developing our individuating EarhLife

Ecological Conversion

“…the ecological crisis is also a summons
to profound [theological] conversion.”
#217, Laudato Si’, Pope Francis

Those who benefit from a StraightWhiteMale privileged,
LeftBrain dominant,
Patriarchal-Capitalist
monotheistic image for God’s anthrosupremacist omnipotence,

May have trouble recognizing
that UnStraight,
UnWhite,
unprivileged ecopolitical victims
try to thrive with win/win Left/Right bicameral intelligence
despite chronic trauma histories
of Patriarchal-Capitalism

Still stubbornly believing in our PolyCultural-Communion
CommonGood
to experience health-wealthy faith,

Trust in our panentheistic
and intersectionally integral benefits,
kindly compassionate relationships
ego-internal/eco-external political,
empowering and enlightening co-empathic experience
of sacred Earth’s restoration

than Lose/Lose nihilism
of blind faith that patriarchal capitalism

of health-wealthy win/win peace,

Past through future best cooperative

for healthy/wealthy beauty

For those who benefit with,
but not under,

with left/right bicamerally abundant wealth
as safe health prosperity,

Deeply resonant listening
and widely resilient speaking
through multicultural
nonviolent communicating
anthro-trusted

Cannabis Culture

Already an apology is due,
which is only better
than one already overdue,

Yes, I know cannabis
is a place of multiple
and diversely celebrated
subcultures,

And, yes, I realize chaos
and complexity may be civilly sipped
and thirstily gulped
from diverse alcohol
subcultures,
pedigrees,
castes of enumerated strength,
weakness,
risk,
opportunity.

Even so,
although it may feel peculiar
to follow this bi-cultural thought experiment

Let us explore
what we might heuristically mean
by a Cannabis Culture (CC)
versus Alcohol Culture (AC),
as we might pursue a feminist
versus patriarchal history.

I have two CC sons
in their AfricanAmerican 20s,
both politically and economically at high risk
of lifetime failure to thrive.

To mental light
and physical power survive,
younger son is dominated by dark fear;
older sun by redhot anger
burning against an ecopolitically punishing system

With win/lose
hostile
white privileged
lack of good and healthy
RightBrain
interdependent networking manners

Oblivious to CC dense
possibilities
for healthy
cooperative
multi-therapeutic intent;

Stuck in blood poisoning
AC self-traumatizing medication
worthy of a patriarchal
capitalist
straight
white supremacist wounded child
traumatized by Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

Hostile
oppositional
defiant
aggressive
curiously threatened by CC organic-fed
and clear watered
bicameral awareness
of polypathic climate anxiety

About outside degenerating subclimates,
faltering public, global healthcare systems
and concomitant inside struggling
polycultural CC values
for multiculturing ego-health
encountering empathic eco-wealth.

It interests CC biased me,
and causes grave AC concern,
that RightBrain prominent
younger son’s disenfranchising fear
wishes older sun’s angry hot potential allies
were more LeftBrain curious
about therapeutic values
of nonviolent communication.

Angry-CC suns are often under-
and unemployed, in part,
because their trauma medication
is a hiring barrier
to securing a secular job,
and to attracting a sacred vocation,
while their AC former friends
and learning peers,
more white and patriarchally privileged
pass with patriotic fervor
their blood
and uncriminalized background tests.

Angry-CC solar flaring suns
demand their Fear-CC brothers
and timid sisters
aggressively demonstrate empowering eco-political courage
to erupt CC hegemony.

Yet all the CCs and ACs above
behave as if we suffer less
because of our employment marginalizing,
and potentially criminalizing, choices

And feel as if we win more
when we suns and windblown daughters
recognize and appreciate each AC/CC
bicamerolling Other

When we organize deep CC nonviolent listening circles,
open to our patriarchal
capitalist
straight
white AC
LeftBrain degenerative nemesis.

Alcohol-natured and Old Cannabis-spirited
indigenous nature/spirit wisdom
among bicameral polyculturalists
could synergetically co-mediate global thinking
and feeling

Bilaterally rebalancing internal
external co-passion communions

Globally conscious
Ego/EcoSystemic CC
politically resonates with
and for
and of public health solidarity systems
reconnecting all bicamerally co-binary
eco-wealthy EarthTribes.

Sorting Through BiNomials

Where do I draw my bilateral line
in a polycultural sandbox?

In-between a merely personal traumatic
severing
excommunicating
dispassionate
divesting
divorcing
marginalizing

And a larger staged
eco-political
critical systemic
potentially multi-generational
traumatic climate event.

Why does it feel important
to distinguish,
and perhaps discriminate
personal from ecopolitical systemic trauma?

Critical Race Theory

My problem with Critical Race Theory is that, unfortunately, systemic racism is not theoretical; it is experiential, behavioral, measured, and quantified.

Calling systemic racism a “theory” is a disparaging and dishonest strategy because racist event and patterns of relationship and non-relationship are not merely theory; nor is systemic racism rationally reduced to an as yet unproven explanation for historical events. Neither critical nor chronic caste-specific prejudice, nor marginalized v elite power analysis are merely theoretical, contingent, not yet fully vetted hypotheses awaiting confirmation, or lack thereof. Scientific method has been multiculturally applied to caste-based economic and political non-elite v elite experiential data.

Analysis of experience is not theory. Race differential analysis may be premised on a positive and/or negative hypothesis about discriminatory effect, bias, prejudice, caste alliance, multicultural health, and/or monocultural pathology, scarcity or abundance of positive v negative relationships, differential measures of trust, empowering and/or disempowering intent, but none of these hypothetical predictions about measurable relationships remains abstractly theoretical; removed from quantified experience.

Critically analyzed hypotheses may come from deeply interconnected or special case theoretical roots. Systemic racism has emerged from economic and political caste hierarchical systemic relationships statistically significant. Profound differential power and investment opportunities have been unequivocally established. Cooperative and/or competitive power predictions reflect multicultural cooperative thick and competitive thin investment relationships.

To believe that racist attitudes are merely personal prejudice, not responsive to deep and widely learned social systemic constructs, is equivalent to believing that all cultural perceptions remain free of historical sensory-neural experience. All observations, consciousness, analyses, theories, experiences, hypotheses rely on an integrated empowering neuro-sensory organic SYSTEM.

A shared language system is rooted in a deeper and wider communication system. Communication is biased toward positive as multiculturally robust health. Negative communication is to active distrust as absence of communication is neurologically associated with mistrust outside one’s own monocultural received view. Trust issues are neuro-sensory systemically understood as pathological; not positively healthy.

Critical race dialogue requires a nonviolent communication system characterized by compassion, in order to become more resonant across caste-based dissociation, blocking resonant relationships that could, at least theoretically, transcend past deeply held distrust and mistrust of systems supporting patriarchalism, capitalism, and racism.

Breaking Through Nationalism

Yuval Noah Harari
suggests that Nationalism’s
Big Three Nemeses are fear of
nuclear holocaust,
degenerative climate trends,
and Business As Usual disruptions
of eco-political technology.

When I first read this list
of his global Three,
the one that stood out
at least for me,
to potentially
break through our tendency
to see through lenses
nationalistically
is Earth’s great climate pathology.

Still,
all three are LeftBrain dominant,
StraightWhiteMale privileged,
Patriarchal-Capitalist nationalistic systems
of scientific deductive-rooted secularism
and defensive
extractive-infested
militarism.

Aside from a home habitat
in WholeEarth Crisis,
extinguishing all hope
of future health
is our cooperative multicultural wealth
regenerations,
our ability to distinguish
which of these three
is most transparently
exploitive and disempowering
our SunShine EcoSystem,

To dialogically determine
which is most polyculturally vulnerable
to inflaming
already repressive Patriarchal/Capitalism,

Which is most unenlightened
and monotheistically RightWing
StraightWhiteMale
LeftBrain dominant

May also be the unholy Fascist fascinated
demonizing ecowomanist healthy choice
and Earth as sacred Goddess
panentheistically denying,
Holy Nature/Spirit indigenous defying,
climatically degenerative Nationalism, yes,
but also, more fundamentally dualistic,
AnthroSupremacism
over ecofeminist healthy wealth
of fertile sacred Earth

Where monoculturing climate “change”
may become most easily defined
by Yanged out RightWing predation
fueled by a competitive economy
of hierarchical
from-above scarcity,
rather than from-within
ecological integrity.

Then again,
I could also see win/win opportunity
for health as wealthy polycultural activity
in immigrating away from global fear
of nuclear hostility

Emigrating toward global polypathic thrival
post-secularizing revival of cooperativity
principles of Eartherapeutic Energy
as healthy integral democracy,

NonViolent Communication fueled
by
and for
and with Whole
Holistic
Holy EarthTribal
win/win systemic

Speaking of Common Goods

What I wanted to say
the other day
when exalting healthy kindness
for potentially freeing us
from Straight White Men’s great meanness

Costing Earth’s Green Commons

as good-wellness humored

What I had hoped to say
and would have said
had I felt less concerned
I had already bled too much
and listened not enough

optimizing our Polyculturing Communion,
positive Political Correcting

Got the godly goods
with more catholic unitarian focus
on Pope Francis’s
Principle of the Common Good
(#156, Laudato Si’)

Might playfully confront
his internal intuitively wise Pope Franny
commonly and goodly,
healthy and wealthily speaking
of kind and kindred sacred ecology
inseparable from the notion motion,
and ecopolitical win/win revolutionary commotion
of Earth’s Green Common Good

RightWing seen and heard
through a dualistic Either sacred Or secular
evolutionary assumption
our best competitive nationalistic win/lose zero-sum right
to upper caste Patriarchal/Capitalist scarcity
promotes humorless defensiveness,
hoarding
un-encyclical anthrosupreme
nastiness.

And yet,
in a still small bicameral voice,
co-empathically sensed
as EarthMother’s ecowomanist choice
Polycultural Communion
invites a more positive win/win ecology
of politically correct kindness
free
and freeing.

This deductive Left and Right inductive
health wealth safety
synergetically speaks well-humored
scientific/aesthetic
Truth/Beauty CommonSense,
a central synergy
and interdependent integrity
Principle of EarthWealth Justice.

With a bit more timeless moment,
we could have,
and yet remain feeding
still eating from too gladly shared
Earth’s Common Health/Wealth Good

The exponential NonZero Sum revolution
of WinLeft/WinRight reconditioned evolutions

Invoked by pro-life ecopolitical co-investing groups
and our cooperative
UniversalLeft/UnitarianRight individual members
co-empathically co-enlightening,
thoroughly embedded nature/spirits
not so frightening,
empowering health green curious Common Good
access to our own

Not at mean expense
and exorbitant StraightWhiteMale
