When Evangelists Invite Fascism

Paul Tillich wrote
“nationalism hates and must always hate Judaism and prophetic Christianity.”

When he spoke of nationalistic patriotism
he was thinking of fascism,
as the logical conclusion
of anthropocentrism

More loyal to a specific supremacist space and time
than faithful to polyculturally interdependent history
of love life’s regenerative revolution.

Nationalism too quickly devolves into rivalry
of Win-InCaste v Lose-OutCaste
zero-sum gamesmanship

Elitist triumphalism
of narrow-minded Chosen People
rather than WinAnthro/WinEarth nonzero-sum
cooperative economies
of politically co-empowering organic lovers.

Tillich’s ‘prophetic’ Judeo-Christian
would find U.S. nationalistic evangelism
anti-prophetically unredeeming,
in striking contrast to scripture’s
radical “God is love”
and
“For God so loved the [entire] world”

Is not
In-Caste preserving
“if They win, then We lose”
perpetrating
puppets of monopoly games
playing zero-sum militarized capitalism

Preparing the unenlightened way
toward more viral triumphalistic cults,
explicitly anti-Semitic
and anti-polytheism
and anti-pantheism
and anti-historical-cultural progress
toward health-informed norms
and safe polyamorous values,
so anti-pleasure by root-chakra means
other than,
for reproduction purposes only,
missionary position
manly active penetration
womanly passive reception
heterosexual expression
for married couples only
after the kids are sleeping.

Frustrated “Christian” fundamentalism
is threatened
by faith in multicultural compassion
healthy democracy inviting
hospitality toward strangers,
loving enemies.

An authentically impassioned and joyful
peace-making Christian evangelist
spreads WinAnthro/WinEarth good gospel creation news
through cooperative teaching
while co-empathically listening

Mentoring bodhisattva collaboratives
about how we can grow this compassion species
toward mutual transubstantiating holiness

With resilient transformative thrival skills
and nothing at all to do with lip service
to an “Our Stuff Don’t Stink”
but yours does,
a Chosen People caste-privileged creed.

When non-prophetic evangelists
examined Donald Trump’s pretentions
as U.S. Presidential potential,
and declared his intentions for the patriotic elite as “pure,”
that meant purely demonic WinUs v LoseThem nationalism

Mute about the prophetic Judaism
of the polyamorous Gospels.

Christians, Jews, and those Islamic-terrified,
must comprehend
and resist
and declaim any notion that Republican Nationalist WeWin-SoYouLose ecopolitics
is anything less than anti-Messianic

WeWin-OnlyIf YouAlsoWin,
is co-redemptive,
globally enlightened,
ecologically accurate
compassion eco-politics.

The democratization of world-wide-webbed love
is a huge mystery of peak spiritual experience,
communication for communion,
organic regeneration for sacred reconnecting
again and again and again
Earth’s healthy resilience wins
and also anthropological ‘pure’ pleasure
and ‘loyal’ passioned wealth.

To call the cult of irreligious Win v Lose nationalism
healthy democracy Win/Win patriotism
is to substitute InCaste Evangelism
for blessed are the poor in Spirit
OutCaste Christianity

Monotheistic colonization
is the Way of idolatrous elitism
and the Truth of weaponized fascism

Taking out a Death contract against healthy human nature
to hit absolute zero
bulls-eye
bottom-line
LoseAnthro/LoseEarth absence of love life’s potential

Promising to anti-prophetically gloat
about absent-mindedly fiddling about
while Earth burns

Anthropocentric hubris
sin
missing the mark,
preparing a vast anti-all-Others absence of love
for continuing richly polycultural climates
of future generation health,
by denying
ignoring
neglecting
abusing
degenerating climate pathologies.

If you are familiar with the Wharton School,
as is Donald Trump
and his considerably too-gluttonous billionaire CEO companions,
then you would probably know
you can slap a lipstick index
of economic resilience
on a chauvinistic pig
in an elitist Winner-Take-All partisan pen,
but it will not really look
or work any better,
and certainly won’t taste
or smell any healthier
or purer
or feel more loyal,
or even tangentially patriotic,
in anthropologically prophetic hindsight.

Civilizing Savages

I stumbled over Paul Tillich’s reflection
on the Messiah’s other Great Commission.

The Great Commission we learned in Sunday School
was to go out and convert the barbarians
and savages to Christianity.

Yet this other Great Commission feels like a necessary prerequisite,
like requiring Statistics 1
before wandering on into the further abstractions
of long-term probabilities
and improbabilities
that savages could become barbarians
and barbarians become pagans
and pagans become animated civilians
of pantheistic inter-religious wildness,
as recovered by anthropocentric
monotheistic Statistics 2.

Tillich’s version of St Matthew (5:48) reads
“You must be all-inclusive as your heavenly Father is all-inclusive.”

Jesus has been exegeting perfect love
as favorably contrasted against not-so-perfect love,
and Their conclusion summarizes with
YHWH is Earth’s perfection of all-inclusive love

So this is also our humane divining destiny,
this profound all-inclusiveness,
which would seem to necessarily include
nature worshipping wildness
and MightMakesRight barbarians
within us all.

But, what I wonder,
from my flawed redemptive perspective,
is how could becoming all-inclusive perfection of love
progress anything less than taught by God the enlightening Father
and engaged by Gaia the co-empowering Mother?

These two faces
co-arising nondual all-inclusive love
of hunters and gatherers,
the competitive Patriarchal
and the cooperative Matriarchal
barbarians

Universal-Yang/unitarian-Yin
win/win
bicamerally civilizing Left cognitive minds
inside Right intuitive wilderness bodies.

To perceive oneself as one of the holy civilized
rather than barbaric unwashed
seems to deny indigenous adaptation,
pantheistic adoption,
co-opting cooperative co-passion
extracting from what was polyculturally peaceful
all-inclusively before anthropocentric civilization.

To comprehend myself as civilizing
speaks first to maturing all-inclusive love,
including all the YangNature and YinSpirit
of my wilderness heritage

Embracing my own TerribleTwos savagery,
remembering adolescent hormonal waves
of public supremacy v private intimacy.

To this day,
I must eat when I am hunger,
drink when I am thirst,
sleep when I feel tired
of all disintegrating opportunities.

This healthy development of all-inclusive love
includes the first clue
how to share good co-redeeming news
to be found within every organic tradition,
every rhythmed transition
of which we are each a necessary muse,
but never emotionally sufficient
apart,
in our savage through civil maturation,
co-passionately extending acclimation.

Holistic spirited, growing pantheistically inclusive,
holonic co-redemption excludes prejudicial partiality

A process
in which every interdependent sequence
(stage, frame, network, co-acclimating set)
and inter-relational sample
re-presents the organic whole
of all-inclusive sacred holiness.

A synergetic progress
toward 100% domesticated Yang non-zero probability
that any dynamic state (stage, frame, paradigm) will recur
AND
zero-sum improbabiity
that any co-acclimating organic state
will recur empty of Yintegrity.

Perfectly all-inclusive bilateral passion
like YHWH’s win/win
Gaia Hypothesis

Holy co-acclimation,
from RightElder brain stem savage
Either LeftYang wealth
or RightYin health

Out-caste or in-caste
dissociative identity disformation,
through barbaric LeftBrain verbal monotheistic dominance
versus Elder RightBrain nonverbal pantheistic prominence
of adolescent coming of bicamerally intelligent age

Open to belonging
in longing
for more redemptive cooperations,
all-inclusive polyamorous acclimations

Organically responsive animists
long before
reactive irreligious monotheists

Maturing toward more all-inclusive Left/Right
co-arising Sage/Muse nonduality
of profoundly integral Win/Win love,
within as without,
ego-ethotic as eco-erotic.

Reuniting wilderness-loving civilians
with universally divine inspirations,
organically indigenous acclimations
becoming even healthier democratic news
about both private and public co-passion trends
and co-investment probabilities.

From this view,
it seems curious that culture influencers,
like Popes,
would look back through vast histories of spirited experience
and recover only platonic memories
of God’s priestly invisible hand
and mind
within peak experience Sage passioned heads
but not Muse pleasured bodies

Especially within our long co-acclimating history
of mother-wombs nurturing perfect all-inclusive love,
maturing indigenous infants into savage two year olds

Then letting maturation go
through barbarically wild
hormone-drenched adolescence
pregnantly predicating co-redemptive adulthood
of all-inclusive genders
and polyamorous gender preferences.

What could be more priestly stewardship,
and yet also prophetic promise,
than redeeming blood-baptism’s wilderness birth?

Nurturing healthy animistic support
through all our holy all-inclusive
neurodiverse stages
within WinLeft-WinRight

Bicamerally co-arising
barbarically savage peak experiences
extending all-inclusive love,
transforming the Bodhisattva’s non-othering
Great Inclusive Commission.

Lusty Book of Lists

A book of lists
is what I need
to absolve Earth’s Tribes
of rampant greed.

Before and after lists,
being and becoming fists,
masculine and feminist mutual mentoring trists
transubstantiating troubling transformations.

I would like to hug
a warm and fuzzy theology
with prophetic philosophical appeal
to ethical reasons and taste buds
both hunters and gatherers
might sing and dance
together.

Nationalism,
like narcissism,
only bigger and worser,
is out.
So Earth-centrism is in.

Egocentrism
like eco-centrism
only inward instead of also outward,
is out,
so ecological natures back in
balancing staminate/pistillate cooperatives,
consensual yang/yin co-intelligence.

I need an updated list of reasons why
as red flames out
green grows in
and when they color in together
we rediscover rich brown integrity
of less anthropocentric polycultures,
reweaving deep dark polyamorous syncretism,
for healthier Earth rooting stories,
not only compassionate logos taught,
but also pleasure mythos revived.

I love this list
of red becomes purpling
peopling nurturing equalities
as blue states of Earth-centric redevelopment
redeem aquamarine green,
together ultra-violet
non-zero soulful octaves
Win/Win his/her-story
of cobinary passion.

I live these self-regenerating lists.
They move around
pistil-in with stamen-out
to re-emerge revival,
Earth’s fractal-rooted crown
double-binding integrity loving
living
transcendent generosity
listing forward ecotherapy
listing back toward indigenously swelling gratitude
for these organic EarthTribe lists
of sacred ebb and flow.

We need an historic list
of lusts
cooperatively owned
and together self-managed

How ancient animism birthed modern monotheism
through countless regenerations
of taoist transcendent stamen
and immanent pistil
panentheism
birthed co-arising nonduality

Patrimonious Yang penetrating
matrimonious Yin circluding
trinitarian inter-religious midways

Sacred organic networks
ego-cognitive Left
eco-intuitive Right
as Mother Earth’s shabbat

Beloved internal-mind/external-body habitat
AnthropoScenic climate balance
both universally unfrightening enlightening
and invitingly
unitingly
empowering organic Golden Rule
crown/root intelligent brightening.

I need a list
composed by pre-historians
and investigative journalists
of what happened
when we had no bad news

Where we had no commercial headlines
to gossip about
and only loves to share
with
and in
and on
and for
and of
anthro’s earthy blessings.

Baby Boomers and Bummers

Most Baby Boomers started out hoping to leave life
having continued our Great ReGenerativity,
progressively recycling boundless growth
of optimal Win-Wealth is also Win-Health.

We are the last human generation
with confidence we could leave more than we have taken in.
To give back,
to pay forward
investment in Earth’s cooperative health and safety insurance,
re-assurance.

In this early post-millennial era,
we have a great transitional dissonance
between those who continue believing it is merely realistic,
rationally nihilistic,
to give up on this hopelessly disconnected
non-renewable
non-inheritable dream,
already not accessible to human nature’s consciousness
of internal and external climate disruptions.

And, on the other hand,
there remain those of relentless active faith
that we are here at this time,
invested in this transitional moment,
increasing Win/Win potential
transforming short- and long-term
evolving compassionate lifetimes

To learn from Father Sun’s warming voice of Wind
to balance healthy consumption
with wealthy production
of perennial renewables

To listen
for life’s relentlessly springing up reinvestment
opportunities,
not lifetime for ignoring Win v Lose waste,
risking positive neuro-energy’s potential peacetime resources.

As we turn from seeking regenerative integrity
for the span of one humanely natural generation,
toward the span of one humane-divine
MotherEarth FatherSun prime co-relational life span,
old monotheistic WinWe v LoseThey issues,
flying under banners of nationalistic narcissism,
fade into the waste stream of survival of the bullyist

More synergetically renewed by a new EarthTribal cooperative ownership,
a self-with-other Win/Win democratizing
inter-religious identity
nurturing caregiving Light
and receiving Power

Healthy compassion
with all organisms not pathologically hoarding wealth
of divisive nations,
of dissociated egos,
as this new Left with Right
double-binding
ego/eco-intelligence
for evolving renewable lifetime opportunities
and compassionately deniable risks of addiction
to anthropocentric narcissism.

I Heard It Was True

“I guess it never was
The way I thought it was
I say this only just because
You never came to love

I guess it wasn’t so
Guess that’s how the story goes
You didn’t dig my flow
You didn’t dig my flow”
Maxwell, Welcome, Urban Hang Suite

I heard it was true,
though anonymous sources rightfully become suspect,
that Central Americans
increasingly feel that the U.S.
is a long punishing and hostile wilderness journey
on their way to more Promising Lands of Canada.

I heard it is true,
Americans, as a nearly whole,
way North and South
and Central in-between continents,
enjoy better access to health and safety,
especially for those without even a one-car garage,
more wealth of nurturing freedoms
and justices of equivalent synergetic exchange,
than they, at least some, often younger,
would hope to find in these devolving DisUniting States,
investing in mutual ass-ured destruction
disinvesting away from
mutual Win/Win
MindWealth/BodyHealth
delivering pleasure’s deep compassion.

I heard it was true,
that if all the U.S. homeless and hungry
not feeling quite so swell
were to occupy and recover
all the U.S. owned
and managed
and share-holder molested operations
in Mexico,
converting all those farms
and fossil-fueled energetic businesses
to cooperative ownership
and wealthyMind/healthyBody optimizing governance,
that Mexico would have an immigration solution,
and the U.S. would have a lack-of-immigration problem.

I heard it was true,
though it seems unlikely, I know,
that mid-eastern terrorists
are second generation entitled fundamentalists,
and their militarized and terrified parents
were first generation oil-revolution opportunists,
believing Allah may have brought deserts and drought
and internecine feeding upon each tribal other,
but Allah has redeemed all with His gift
of seemingly boundless, in that monotheistic time,
oil-drenched riches

Fundamentally filthy Win v Lose irreligious stuff
of competitive survivalist inhumane unnatural life
verses the losing remainder
of natural
ecological
love life.

I heard it was true
that if all those experienced with reversing desertification,
all Earth’s permaculture designers and ecotherapists
and cooperative incarnation incubators and midwives,
were to conjoin all the desperate young mid-eastern adults
to reverse traumatic climate trends
now producing deserts and drought, and mayhem

Toward reproducing plants and people
producing and consuming fields of grass and grains
and slow-flowing rivers,
cedar forests
and fertile food from healthier soils
devoid of ballistic landmines,
and planting solar panels and spiraling towers and wind turbines
shading and capturing vast sun’s radiant perfections,
then nightmares of terror
could become daydreams of planting
and fulfilling multicultural harvests.

I heard it was true,
but whether yes or no
I could not honestly say,
that if U.S. residents
were more mindful of what riches and potentials other nations
and cultures already have to share,
of how climate crimes cry out for climate health,
and if we disinvested from fear-mongered anxiety,
verging on paranoia,
about what other nations and cultures would deprive us of,
for lack of their own potential riches,
then this U.S. terrorist and immigration paranoia,
and perhaps European issues of similar RightWing ilk,
might become Earth’s cooperative ownership,
and Self-with-Other management,
unmitigated win/win
wealthyMind/healthyBody resolution,
producing more multiculturally transforming solutions
for all Earth’s polyamorous Tribes.

The way I thought it was

You never came to love…”

Democratization Problems

I suppose you might have missed out on Paul Feyerabend’s,
and especially Thomas Kuhn’s Problem of Incommensurabiity.

Oh, not at all.
I have not looked at science or culture
or language
or even your attempts at communication
quite the same since I ran across their big dilemma.

Interestingly,
it shares some dynamics with The Prisoner’s Dilemma,
in WinWin NonZero Game Theory,
but that is a mirror mapping story
for mutual neurosystemic acclimation
on some other, even more heady, day.

Put simply,
it appears that a term used within some theoretical framework,
at earlier Point A,
take evolution, for example,
may or may not evolve some incommensurable
not entirely equivalent with, to, for, from
the same term as it appears in a subsequent
Point B post-revolutionary framework
context
systemic communication network.

For example,
is what ‘YHWH’ meant to Abraham
an equivalent theological function
to what Jesus of Nazareth meant by ‘Abba’?

And,
what Darwin meant by symbiosis
may or may not be the same as what Jane A Gordon
might mean by symbiosis…

Not symbiosis, dear,
her word is ‘creolization.’

Right of course;
relentlessly flowing
extending
growing
so, let’s see

Darwin’s use of ‘evolution’
to designate some regenerative function within a bio/ecosystem,
may or may not carry the same meaning
as Gordon’s regenerative function
of evolution within eco-politically creolizing systems.

Terms may historically evolve culturally incommensurable functions,
within interdependent contextual paradigms,
especially between PreRevolutionary
and newer PostRevolutionary
paradigmatic frames of interdependent reference

Multiculturally reforming,
cooperatively reweaving,
looking for more inclusively explanatory paradigms
extending co-empowering
bilateral WinNew/WinOld commensurable
neurosystemic communication functions.

And so, my darling,
why is this your moment of epiphany?
Why are both virtually bloodless and bloody violent cultural revolutions
necessary precursors to an incommensurable meaning problem
rather than a revolutionary point of potential integrity
in-between a before v after

A before plus after
interdependent reincarnating process,
a bilateral Both-And
Win/Win integral frame extension?

Well, because then our empirically exegetical orthodox truth statements
may look more like an ever-changing great chain of co-arising feelings
becoming a dynamic trust v distrust neurosystemic framework,
more like a revolving-recycling, perhaps even spiraling,
potentially regenerative string
of interdependently meaningful v not meaningful events.

And, this is a nightmare for you because…?

What we have faith in as paradigmatic Truth
and the American Competitive Survival of Fittest Nations Way,
starts to look more like a democratizing creolization,
extending up and down from MotherEarth’s interactive equator,
rather than God the Heavenly UnChanging Father
beaming His divine light from the WhiteHouse Sacred UpperCaste Hill
to spread freedom and healthy sunshine of true blue

I mean…true red-meat theocracy
across this monoculturing USA,
submerging the inscription on Liberty’s Statue of Original Constitutional Intent
to the Cerebrally Pacific Centering Ocean,
surf sounds,
like breathing in-caste and out-caste,
in and out…

Well, honey,
if it’s all the same to you,
I’ll try to not get my panties in a not not knot
over this Commensurable Meaning Problem,
or evolutionary linguistic Acclimation Theory
against co-arising WinTrust-New v LoseTrust-Old
incommensurable dissonance issue.

Why don’t we just assume our trusting best,
and figure Kuhn’s win v lose Incommensurability
is also Gordon’s win+win creolization of polyculturing eco-politics.
You know,
just growing the historical evolutionary paradigms
out toward wider memetic trans-generational families
of trust virtues v distrusted viciousness?

Yes, here we are, page 163
She says “If unable to fashion genuinely universal theories,
creolization can help us to engage in universalizing thought…”

I think she might have more clearly said universalizing multicultural feelings.

She’s getting there.
Just hang on.

“…creolization can help us to engage in [multiculturing] thought
or that which facilitates seeking of [truth] concepts and [trust] aspirations…”

Meaning dynamic, maybe even healthy organic, cognitions
and their co-relationally felt virtues.

If you say so, dear.
…meaningful concepts and healthy aspirations
“with what Molefi Asante (1998) has termed
greater transcultural validity.”

Well, yes, transcultural,
but especially transcultural between a pre-revolutionary frame
and a post-revolutionary,
more stretching-out inclusive,
dipolar co-arising continuously nuanced frame,
if we assume both before and after empowerment v disempowerment
of mutual democratizing win/win regard
rather than all that territorial and theoretical “Either This or That”
and “Don’t you dare Both-And me on this one”
that puts our win v lose graduate students to sleep
unwoke,
especially right after lunch.

Yes, continuous win/win democratizing progress
does seem regeneratively implied,
and possibly in the Bohmian explicate-now/implicate-then sense,
as swelling well.

She continues,
if you could please refrain from editing…

Of course, dear.
Whatever will get us on to Tillich’s Problem of Supersessionism
the superfastest.

Ok, we continue,
“Moving beyond dialogue of respectful difference,
which none of us should denigrate,
we instead explore [re]creating ways
in which otherwise [discontinuous cognitive] fragmented accounts
of shared political,
physical,
and geopolitical [communication] spaces
could and do combine.”

Yes, exactly, it’s Kuhn’s Problem of pre- and post-revolutionary incommensurability
of language truth-meanings and felt trust-functions
all over again.

Why Kayko Hesslein didn’t use ‘commensurability’
instead of ‘supersessionism’ or, even better,
win/win ‘creolization’, I don’t know

It sounds like super-secessionism, I suppose.
Anyway, with that substitution of terms,
Hesslein claim’s Tillich’s creolization theology
of messianic redemption
would, if truly fulfilled in the Christ event,
invalidate Judaism’s capacity
to continuously deliver regenerative redemption
even just among the Chosen People.

What would Jesus say, do you think?

Probably to reconsider the creolizing
springing up and falling down lilies
and well-composted
bilateral before and after
wheat fields,
or paradigmatic frames,
or systemic contexts

Or the Win/Win
Gaia Hypothesis

Yeah, sure,
commensurable functions

Holy Earth Patriotism

What is patriotism to you?

Do you feel proud for national, and maybe cultural, virtues?
What about feelings of superiority?

Would you probably feel more,
or less,
proud of your nation
if we had exceptional health caring integrity?
Including physical
and mental
and spiritual
and natural
and democratic health?

What is nationalism?

Usually positive values about monocultural
monotheistic
monopolistic
monochromatic caste protection.

What is a resiliently good social value?

Not a disastrously bad anti-social disvalue?

Again?

Well, OK, whatever
falls into what we agree is not unhealthy
reversing rich polyculturally interdependent
wealth power with international others
health power over deadening climate despair.

Have we not had considerably too much experience
with national-cultural-religious superiority?
complexities
leading to toxic totalitarian parochialism,
irritatingly irreligious patriarchalism
pious patrimony
without any passionate matrimony

Why can’t we redefine patriotism
as organic EarthTribe’s
neurosensory compassionate maturity?

I suppose we could,
but maturity based on what standard of not immature?

Well, where do we now base national winning superiority
versus loser inferiority?

Some economists start with gross trends
in National Production.

Could we at least compare GNP to Gross National Consumption?
Maybe look at this prime producing/consuming ratio
across the past several years
of economic health care
resiliently re-connecting
sacred-mind = organic-body
wealth liberating and health conserving
co-investment.

So performance-based WholeEarth patriotism
rises and falls
with whether national production balances consumption?
Of what?

Of healthy bodies and wealthy minds, I would neuropsychologically guess.
But, I suspect robust inter-religious
compassion/pleasure patriotism
win/win mind/body virtues peak
where enlightened consumption
and empowering production
approach bilateral compassion,
AnthroMind/EarthBody
re-connecting wealth+health
planetary intersectional balance

Pleasing EarthTribe’s resonant peace,
not RightWing dissonant plunder,
neurosystemic trauma
reducing our interdependent web of sentient life
Mind-nurture/Body-nutrition
passion+pleasure,
panentheistic peace warriors.

So you suggest re-rooting narcissistic nationalism
through a more EarthJustice patriotic
cooperative polyculturing
inter-religious identity,
more mature win/win health caring
mind-song and body-dance resolutions

More robust and resiliently trauma-informed
nationalVoice/internationalChoice
for resilient EarthMothering,
non-Othering,
sacred regenerativity.

Because sacred regenerative values,
rather than desecrating degenerative disvalues,
invite increases in healthy multicultural relationships
and wealthy co-invested transactions,
while nationalistic anthro-superiority sparks caste privileged
racism and elitism
xenophobia and entitled predation
enslavement and colonization
rape
divestment
abuse and neglect
disassociation

Disowning yesterday’s alien
wild
indigenously animistic
erotic savage
still passionately pleasuring
within last night’s peak patriotic/matriotic
co-empathic dreams.

Nationalistic patriotism suboptimizes
inclusive peak spiritual/natural re-connecting
experiences
re-ligioning
re-connecting cooperative opportunities
for peaceful body-health/mind-wealth
nondualistic redevelopment

All Earth’s organic tribes
inter-religiously emerge
Holy panentheistic Wisdom

When internationally peaking

and matriotically consuming
rebalancing Gaia Hypothesis outcomes;
while monotheistic patriarchalism produces
caste preservation trauma
racism and sexism
and anthro-hubris climate anxiety
depleting health care in-coming
unsustainable ecocidal out-goes.

Co-responsibility nurtures re-ligioning integrity,
just as cultural elitism accelerates illusions
of intellectual and ethical superiority
supporting short-sighted competitions for short-term profits

Harming EarthTribe’s failing to thrive
ecosystemic passion+pleasure players

Neurosystemic
chronic anthropocentric anxiety,
anti-ecological patriarchalism,
capital-headed monstrous monotheism

Rather than inter-religious peace-fulfilling
when healthy growth always
and everywhere re-invests
toward enlightened crown
and empowering root-systemic
panentheistic Gaia Hypothesis
producing and consuming
sacredly organic density

acuity.

Nationalism grows antipathic unhealthy distrust
when we need to grow co-empathic wealthy trust
of inclusive inter-religious liberation,
mutually revered
win/win conserving creolization,
rather than patriot-idolized
monotheistic colonization.

As cooperative EarthPeace globally emerges
we could choose to play Win/Win
long-term co-investment games
with more multiculturally mediating
passion/pleasure
wealthy/healthy
LiberalMind/ConservingBody
polytheistic non-Othering
patriotic EarthMothering

Interdependent listening
and compassion expands
across oceans and EarthJustice internets.

So what is your idea of true patriotism again?

EarthPride and humane humility
of and for resiliently regenerate climates
of polyculturally robust non-sectarian co-investment
over degenerate
dissonantly dissociative
too-monoculturally segregating
inferiority of anthro-caste privileged
unnaturally dispirited
anti-ecofeminism

Self-pardoning
irreligious
elitist intellectual and unethical entitlement rights

Self-righteously punishing
irreligiously monotheistic supremacy
disenfranchising green ecofeminist prophets
actively hoping to restore
EarthMother’s panentheistic mind/body peace

Now informed by RightWing systemic trauma
transubstantiating
OpenWealth and WholeHealth
ethotic/erotic
crown/root Holy Wisdom

EarthJustice enlightening/empowering
polytheistic/polyculturing peak experience
peace therapy

Passion-Liberating/Pleasure-Conserving
Win/Win Gaia Hypothesis

That bicameral intelligence
invokes organically sacred EarthTribe’s
patriotic/matriotic
inter-religious panentheistic
compassion/pleasure peak climate experiences
revering revolutionary
transformative
ethotic/erotic co-alliances.

Would you probably feel more,
or less,
proud of your nation
or pillaged by your nation

If we had exceptional health caring integrity?
Including physical
and mental
and spiritual
and natural
and climate
and democratically inter-connected
inter-religious health

Games We Play

Yang, dear.

Yes, my lovely Yin.

Why do you map Game Theory
onto eco-feminist political territory?
It comes across as either just confusing
or, even worse,
vaguely sexist.

Really!
How sexist?

Well, you seem to associate competitive ZeroSum Win or Lose
with strong aggressive patriarchal effectiveness
for defending safety and conserving health

Rational strategic choices for the real guts
of our ego- and anthro- and national-competitive survival;
while Yin is more of the nurturing optimistic Mom
who has her matriarchal place in a Win and Win domestic economy,
but speaking smiling nurture to authoritative competitive power
sounds like patriarchally dominant Business As SexistUsual
to me.

I can see that,
but it does miss my more encompassing Yang/Yin
Win and Win nondualist intent.

No Yang,
not if you replace our Patriarchy or Matriarchy
politically polarized territory
for a Yang and Yin
Win and Win map

Each contrasting side
co-arising respectively
as Original Cause
and Original CoPassionate Effect.

I’m not sure I can explain
why I see EcoFeminist Game Theory
as nonzero-sum optimizing Win and Win
and why that, in turn,
unveils nature+nurture slow-growth resonance

Nor why matriarchy’s cooperative circles
are better suited to healthy democracy
as compared to patriarchy’s competitive hierarchies

Open to retributive punishment
for being Other
when Yang becomes defined by merely Anti-Yin Business \
as Patriarchal Caste-Preserving Usual

When Win Yang becomes measured solely by Lose Yin
zero-sum eco-politically corruptive
and neurosystemically degenerative
anthropocentric history

Embedded within Earth’s larger organic context
of Yin+Yang Win+Win
phylogenic development
of EarthTribe’s co-passion mother-story.

Then why bother with it?
If you can’t deductively explain why
feeling womanist compassion
is matriarchally therapeutic
then how could your way of seeing Game Theory
through an eco-feminist lens
actually be mentally or physically therapeutic,
even for yourself,
with your deductivist-reductivist
abstract theories and thoughts
that sacred humanity-preservation
is more theologically enlightened
than organic feelings
empowering healthy ecological
FatherSun+EarthMother
Yang+Yin bipartisan cobinary
primal relationships.

Because I am nothing without co-arising you.
As bipolar opposites,
in a Win or Lose survivalist world,
neither of us could be Yang strong light
or Yin out-flowing power.

Only in our bipartisan appositional
co-arising Win+Win world
of cobinary Me+We matriarchal development
can we find Yang-Left AnthroMind
within Yin-Right EarthMother’s Body
more compassionately trusting
our politically bipartisan
and personally bicameral
healthy democratic choices
more than when Yang systemically traumatizes Yin,
and Yin retributively reacts,
rather than restoratively responds.

Maybe yes,
maybe no.
Your description of how Earth regenerates cooperative,
more than degenerates competitive
climates of AnthroCaste-preserving pathology,
does not move me toward feeling resonant therapeutic passion.

I was listening to a feminist writer
speaking of why she is uncomfortable with being labeled as a feminist.
She was clear that, for her,
what feminists are against is Patriarchy,
which is not the same thing as being against men.
It feels essential to feminism
that no feminist believes s/he can speak
with useful authority about what all feminists are for.

Informed by Win+Win Game Theory
I suspect feminists are for nurturing healthy democratic
global Yin+Yang bipartisan empowerment
restoring EarthBodies with AnthroMinds
filled with all Earth’s OrganicTribe memories
of EarthMother’s iconic trans-fertility.

Win+Win NonZero-Sum cooperative trust
restores our larger eco-nurturing souls

While Win or Lose Zero-Sum competitive mistrust
survivalist choices
are reserved for extraordinary trauma aversive
short-term strategic necessities,
to minimize personal losses;
not to vengefully maximize Other’s losses.

Tell me again why you are so sure Win+Win cooperative equivalence
is matriarchal Earth’s deeper therapeutic story,
while Win or Lose is Patriarchy’s more AnthroCaste supremacy’s
high and mighty monotheistic tragedy.

Let’s try this:
Anatol Rapaport’s regenerative-reproductive-reiterative longevity
within a game environment permitting both Win or Lose competitive,
and Win+Win cooperative bilateral choices
called Tit for Tat,
always wins every game played,
every transaction co-invested,
everyrelationship mirror-passioned

Only choosing MeWin so TheyLose
when a specific known Other
has played MeWin so YouLose in most recent
prior history of personal experience.

Corollary: Never defensively initiate WinMe to LoseThey.
If your default setting is always choose Win+Win equivalency,
except when unavoidaly engaging
a prior MeWin or OtherWins 0-sum player.

If everyone chooses Win+Win equivalency
every day
in every eco-political game and relationship,
then WinMore to LoseLess monopolistic players
are no longer culturally reinforced as neurosystemically
or ecosystemically normative.

NonZero Game Theory,
enlightened and empowered Win+Win bilateral choice-making default
feels Both-And RightBrain pleasing resonance
where Zero-Sum Win or Lose choices
are Either-Or LeftBrain dispassionate dissonance

So, Yin+Yang NonZero-Sum
healthy bipartisan democracy
passionately and pleasantly plays
most matriarchally regenerative
deepest and widest and longest?

And that’s what AnthroMind+EarthBody co-empowering Muses
share with Yang AntiPatriarchal EcoFeminists.

Yin+Yang,
not quite so much Yang or Yin,
democratic health and safety
restorative peace-making.

Well, Yang honey,
just turn your map around,
so Y/Y Matriarchs are, as they always have been, Original CoArising Causes,
after all we do carry the regenerative babies,
while the Patriarchs are just another pair of Yin or Yang
X or Y
+1 or -0
Original CoGravitating Effects.

Isn’t that a little like interpreting the teleological intent
of Democratizing Constitutions,
as Originally Caused by our ForeFather’s Mothers?

I doubt those who signed these cooperative intentions
for humanity’s health and safety
also intended to bite the wombs that embryo-fed them.

That does seem rabidly Lose+Lose unlikely,
now that you mention Original FatherSun+EarthMother
sacredly enlightening
organically empowered
cobinary Causes.

Navigating Ethos and Eros: Ecopolitical Insights

If God is monotheistic EggWhite
then Tao is animistic EarthYolk.

Why would you say such a confusing and silly thing?

What is the difference between a natural Tree of Life
and a spiritual Great Chain of Becoming?

Is this a change of subjects
or are you answering my both-and question
with another confusing and silly either-or question?

Easier question:
How are a regenerating Tree of Healthy-Life
then Pathological-Death
and a wealth reproducing
organically multi-generational Chain of Becoming
similar?

If God is a Western ReGenerating/Degenerating Tree,
and Tao is an Eastern ReWeaving/Unraveling Crown and Root
of organic Yin/Yang becoming,
then we might reweave a Crown/Root tree
toward Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s
empowering wisdom experience

“I had perceived everything to be radically connected
with [ecological-economic] politics,
and that, upon whatever principles these were [democratically/autocratically] founded,
a people would never be more than that which the [caste reweaving/unraveling] nature
of the government made [cooperative/competitive] them.”

Both Western dualist divide of human nature Eros
from divine spirit Ethos,
and Eastern nondual co-arising AnthroMind/EarthBody-centric metaphysics
portray a Yang or Yin
Yin and Yang EcoPolitical BiCameral Order

Through devolutionary EthosGod v ErosMan 0-sum
patriarchal dissociation
and evolutionary CrownMind/RootBody non-0 soul
matriarchal association
cobinary governance metaphors

Essentially contending with the double-bind dialectical relationship
of OVER or UNDER
BEFORE and AFTER,
the Win/Win-Yang v Lose/Lose Yin-understory of
Elite verbal LeftBrain unraveling cognition
and NonElite nonverbal RightBrain reweaving intuition

Like bicameral governing Trees of reweaving Life
and unraveling Death,
conserving authentic divine Ethos
and liberating integral humane Eros

Competitively oppositional deductive
either-or chains
of irreligiously dissociative unraveling
AND
cooperative appositional inductions
both yang and yin
mind and body
crown and root polyvagal chains
of re-ligiously associative reweaving

George Lakoff’s “Political Mind”
implies Both/And cooperative
with Either/Or competitive
bicameral governing powers.

“…since we owe everything we are–our very existence–to the workings of [Earth]nature, nature is seen as [regeneratively] moral.”

So, unnatural Crown-Ethos becomes immoral Root-Eros
and immoral Eros becomes unnatural Ethos

“natural hierarchies of [LeftBrain upper v lower dissociative caste] power emerge”
and RightBrain lowerRoot/upperCrown re-associative caste integrity
of bicameral Crown or Root Trees
and Root and Crown interdependently linked
cobinary Chains

Lakoff continues,
“According to the logic of the metaphor,
to find out who is most moral,
look at who has been, over history
[and matriarchal reweaving lower-caste unhistory]
most powerful in the [LeftBrain verbally dominant] hierarchy.

From here,
Lakoff illustrates spatial-moral order metaphors of supremacy over subjects,
ecopolitical Elites over NonElites,
the Elite of Might Makes Win v Lose Right
Nature’s anthropocentric crowning Ethotic endowment
more empowered
in contrast to lower-caste NonElite Erotic roots.

We begin to see some ahistorical,
anti-ecological
temporal before-after
cause-effect reversal dissonance
about whom and what came first,
then second,
in our Great Ethos/Eros Win/Win
organic Crown v Root hierarchical Tree
and sacred Roots before Crowns before Roots bilaterally circular
Chain of Becoming Rewoven.

In our Western Tree of Life and Death,
God rules ProGenitor before and, therefore, above,
DNA-scripted regenerative biosystems.
But, in our nondual co-arising Eastern Organic Chain,
human bicameral Yang/Yin nature
co-evolves with and as Tao’s reweaving/unraveling
caste-associative/caste-dissociative
Yin/Yang
RightEros/LeftEthos
Body/Mind ecological development.

In Western Moral Patriarchal Dissociative Order,
caste-preserving human nature is more sacredly above,
yet not organically-naturally before ,
Earth’s polyculturally regenerative Nature.

In Tao’s Moral Yang/Yin CoBinary Win/Win Order,
Earth’s eros-scripted Nature
nutritionally-organically predicts and precedes
and evokes and invites ecological healthy ethos-reweaving
re-ligioning sacred precedence
toward bicamerally balancing AnthroCrown/EarthBody
nondual EthosSpirit/ErosNature.

Both-And as WinWin
cautions UpperCaste Adults
to not lose touch with historical-temporal governing facts.

We were all RightBrain dominant infants
and more Left/Right VerbalMind/NonverbalBody balancing toddlers
before we became CrownEthos dominant caste dissociatives,
and RootEros recessive caste associatives.

Where Evangelical-Nationalist residents
of USA-RedDominant
place these Uniting States monotheistically above ‘othered’ nations,
a more cooperative Win/Win regenerative view
of natural polyculturing health history
might more humbly remember
this USA is a mere adolescent among Elder creolizing multicultures,
East-before/West-after

ReGenerating Natural WinAnthro/WinEarth Evolution
more sacredly cooperative than 0-sum competitive
caste-dissociative anthropocentric devolution
of immoral ethoticSpirit v eroticNature disorders.

Eastern TaoChains are older than Western GodTrees,
so it seems sacrilegious, immoral, and unnatural
to dissociate
what Gaia has Win/Win associated
sacredly and organically
mentally and physically cobinary

Rather than competitively dividing
Earth’s ErosBody from EthosMind
of pleasure/passion bodhisattva Christ

In which
God is like a transcendent EggWhite Mind
nurturing Gaia’s immanent EarthYolk Body.
