Nativity Birth Stories

If you have a favorite Messiah Story,
one that makes your sweetest Ego swell,
and stay that way,
then you also have a favorite political narrative
about how you would prefer your wealthiest power development
to optimize our healthiest ecological abundance.

For example,
for Christians,
is the Messianic re-creation story
merely redemptive grace coming down
and inbound?

Or also bodhisattva co-redemptive,
where grace,
like money,
flows more abundantly
when everybody has more than enough
gift-it-forward compassion
to also gift outwardly,
abound around town?

So, which still ReGenerating Story
you powerfully embody to co-invest ,
inhaling and exhaling,
extends or shrinks your primally significant economic choice

Wholesome Sacred Earth’s outside health
or whole-sum Organic HomoSapient inside wealth
or co-invested co-redemptive both?

Still empowering Messianic salvation
raining down grace
like light radiates regenerating power
love irradiates interdependent life systems

Authentically interreligious Messiahs
are not known for Win v Lose
divide and separate demonically dark cultic powers
of ego investment in overpowering Othered
outcaste-preserving players

Instead
more challenging
love your sad gift-hoarding enemies too
wisely knowing no one wins salvation
until every sapient species co-invests
in-down caste/out-up caste transformational co-redemption
of sacred EarthMother’s ecologically committed
polyculturing WholeEarth Peace

Climate paradise
perfected for
MessiahPassion/BodhisattvaPleasure
spiritual/natural co-investors.

How was original organic EarthTribe life created?
to ecologically love
abundant WinAnthro/WinEarth political reform

Speaking only from my own Ego experiences
cooperatively engaging as much outside
and outbound regenerative freedom
from degenerative inside and downcast gift-hoarding
as Anthropocene possible

For all sentient crownMessiah/rootBodhisattva species
of co-intelligent cobinary polyvagal design
living co-passion here
loving co-pleasing now
life-love’s universal trust,
unitarian grace

Peace-full belonging
feels like neurosystemic Messiahs past
still flowing through Bodhisattva future
co-redeeming ecosystems

In and out ego/eco-logical
up-caste and down-caste
AnthroCrowning and EarthRooting
SunFather and GaiaMother
primal co-relationship
of transforming grace
recaste
to further future co-redeemers

Inter-religiously messianic saviors
liberally graced
and conservatively gifted
by sentient polyculturing bodhisattvas

Pantheistic GaiaMother inside
empowered listening
long before monotheistic GodFather outside
enlightened speaking

Like every healthy newborn
wealth reborn
peace restoring messiah.

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.

Asked his
MonoTheistic Yangiversal
messianic thoughts
of her
PanenTheistic Yinatarian
bodhisattva feelings.

Not sure,
s/he replies,
Perhaps messiahs sing
while bodhisattvas dance?

Migrating Culture Change

Perhaps immigration is our big US national anxiety
because we don’t know how to unilaterally abort
cancerous growth of ecocide.

Too much to even think about
at a merely nationalistic level
of semi-consciousness.

Earth is our shared sacred home
which has begun feeling like a dried out
grass and forest burning
tornado churning
housefire.

No Trespassing signs
of defensive desire
and cutting-edge lethal spirals
of kill and maim designer wire
assert our RightWing
LeftBrain patriarchal predative dominance,
anthro-privileged prominence

While health
and prosperous wealth
and indigenous community farm wisdom
all intend to restore EarthTribal
therapeutic peaceful justice,
nonviolent green communion
for cooperatively co-invested
compassion

Left/Right bipartisan
Universally salvific enlightenment
through co-redemptive
Unitarian empowerment.

Naturally acclimating spiritual cultures
grow anxiously attuned
to global warming
red-hot rabid pathologies

Spiritually co-empathic minds
are systemically seized
by trauma
by EarthMatricide
by rapacious plunder
by extractive predation

Rather than sacred
cooperative
synergetically co-invested
EarthTraveler identity.

If holistic love brings peak experience
memories
Then whole systemic life
is a migrating journey
away from chronic win/lose emigrating risks
and toward emerging
win/win immigrating opportunities.

Climate changing rabidity
includes RightYang v LeftYin hysteria,
patriarchal partisan polarity
dismissing matriarchal wombed
holy holonic wholesome holes.

Migration marchers
singing Never Again”
to weaponized violence
against both young
and old sojourner species

Often judgmentally justified
by divinely-scripted
manifest destiny
written by a monotheistic right hand
drawing a punishing border
in cosmic sand
against our holy uniting spirit
of co-migrating
mind and body compassion

Global peace
paradise found
in restoring EarthJustice health,
environmental wealth

Indigenous nondualistic positive wisdom
universally experienced
peak mind/body
yin/yang

-(-0) = +1
Polynomial co-binary
balancing bicameral
bipartisan
bilateral moving
shifting
grooving neurosystemic conclusions

Concerns that anthro-migrating health
is root 0-soul reliant
on Earth-crowning
not drowning
wealth

Both Left and Right
West and East hemisphere co-passions
anticipate binomial 1/0 adventures
in cooperatively migrating intelligence

Curious about why
immigration is our big First WorldView
national anxiety.

Wondering
about wandering
in competitive +1 v -0-thering
smothering defenses

Not able to nationalistically abort
rabidly cancerous migrations
of anthro-privileged
desecrating ecocide.

Touch the Earth, Reach the Sky

Touching Earth,
reaching sky.

I walk salt shores
where all Souls fly
over joy’s ocean,
under sad bad lands
my faith in quests
we could understand.

Touch this Earth
to feel our sky.

Wise fools ask
our reasons why,
In glad lives
our answers glow,
in sad love
we learn to grow

To heal our Earth
and teach this sky

We are born
while I shall die,
Life’s my time for in between,
to build you a star,
to chase our dream

Touching Earth
while feeling sky

Hugging laughter
feeds my cry,
May I see
what we can give
for future’s child
to sacred live

We touch this Earth
to reach light’s sky

Soaring courage,
healthy high,
All Souls joining
in Earth’s flight
to touch Her right
I reach through night
for love’s last
last
last splendid sight.

This variation on Grace Lewis-McLaren’s hymn  (#301, Singing the Living Tradition) is dedicated to All Souls-PlanetEarth, especially New London, on the occasion of our Great Return, September, 2021.

Cherishing DiaLogical Earth

More Yang/Yin Conversation with Adam Robersmith

Robersmith (p. 47, Justice On Earth):
“…science is showing us something important:
We are affecting our climate
and ecosystems
in ways that are detrimental to life
on the planet
and to how we live.”

Yin: Science and conscience
are discovering and uncovering important health wealth:
We are degenerating our climate
and formerly more robust ecosystems
in ways that are detrimental to life
and love
and win/win restorative justice
on Earth
and to how we could more non-violently live
cooperatively together
rather than competitively apart.

Robersmith: “We know that we need to change how we act as a species.”

Yin: We feel how we are transforming
how we do not win/win act
as if we cared about our own extended future
as a healthy and wealthy species.

Robersmith: “We should have changed as a nation long ago,
yet we have not.”

Yin: We could restore global justice as one EarthTribe identity,
yet LeftBrain Straight White Male Dominance
has not gone in this Both/And non-violent direction,
heuristically tolerating Either/Or
Ego v Eco
HealthySelf v WealthyOther
Left v Right intolerance.

Robersmith: “Scientists are offering research that has been confirmed repeatedly
and making predictions that should frighten us all into behaving
differently,
yet change is not coming as many of us would expect.”

Yin: Consciousness invites cooperative research
confirmed by redundant thoughts and feelings
predicting what will frighten and anger
and what could heal and ease us all
into inviting win/win cooperative eco-political ownership,
non-violently resilient.

Robersmith: “Research shows that our acts disproportionately affect the poor
and oppressed
all over the world,
yet we continue to use harmful technologies and resources.”

Yin: Consciousness bicamerally feels and knows
our win/lose left-brain dominant acts
disproportionately and adversely influence poor
and oppressed
and ourselves
non-elite populations all over Earth,
yet we continue to use toxic energy,
fuel,
violent technologies
and non-repurposed natural/spiritual resources.

Robersmith: “It seems that simply presenting information is not enough.”

Yin: It seems that presenting terrifying
run-and-throw-away
indigestible shame and blame information
is not enough.

Robersmith: “Scaring people with doomsday scenarios–
even if they are based on our very best knowledge–
does not produce sufficient change.”

Yin: Scaring ourselves with lose/lose doomsday scenarios–
even though rooted in our best democratic healthcare knowledge–
does not produce resonant
win/win gratitude attitude.

Robersmith: “In fact,
it often creates resistance.”

Yin: In cooperatively felt fact,
we create self-isolating
emotional shame and blame resistance
to violent messages of despair.

Robersmith: “Making pollution
and waste
and overconsumption sinful
or shameful
has some effect,
but not enough to change how we behave
as a culture
or make policy as a nation.”

Yin: Framing pollution
and waste
and disassociating from win-now/lose-future overconsumption
as anthropocentrically sinful
and elitist shameful
has some eco-political power,
but not sufficient to restore health
to how we behave as a communal
covenanted
sacred polyculture
or make policy as a state,
a locality,
a municipality,
an extended family.

Robersmith: “While these debates continue,
people around the world suffer
with changes they are unable to ameliorate,
and those with the least power
and resources
suffer most of all.”

While win/win-seeking dialogue does not continue,
EarthTribes competitively suffer
with isolating military-industrialized capitalism as usual
we are unable to heal,
and those people
and species
and regenerative macro-living systems with the least ego-resonant power
and privately-held resilience
and natural/spiritual
health/wealth resources
suffer most dualistically divided of all.

Reasoned Bicameral Balance

A rational frame of reference
for multicultural Taoism,
preferred by UniversalYang
and deferred with UnitarianYin,
regards experiences of systemic racism
and white straight male privilege
not only within each individual,
but within each community,
each faith community,
each ecopolitical energy-organizing sector
across this global EarthTribe.

This Taoistic reason/feeling approach
to big systemic issues
is more tipping point analytical,
probably inspired by polypathic bicameral Bucky Fuller,
And not so much monopolized by
micro-identity ego-afflicted elitism,
supremacy ideologies,
victimization debates
about how mine
is unfortunately bigger than yours.

Tao mindfulness
would prefer not to hear,
much less see or feel
Yang abusing
or even neglecting victimized Yin,
further Business As Usual
sometimes violent
Left hemisphere predations
or even verbal cultural misappropriations
depreciating healthy values
of cooperative Win/Win Right hemisphere resonance.

Taoists,
and other universal either/or egopatriarchal thinkers
and unitarian both/and ecofeminist feelers,
prefer the non-violent web
of secularYang with sacred Yintegrity,
bilaterally balanced
egopatriarchal competitive Type Yangs
fascinated with
and ceaselessly curious about
ecofeminist coopertive Type Yins,

Written dipolar co-arisingly
across the hemispheres of each heart,
each left with right non-violently winged
ego-out/eco-inside
bi-hemispheric universal Soul,
and written across the outdoor climate geospheres
of Earth,
more multiculturally inclusive
on this larger stage
of healthy democratic energy,
more resilient polyculturing empowerment.

ReMembering Me Next Time

I suspect many of us,
if not all,
with a mindful of bodhisattva
positive deviant parented and educated exceptions,
grow up feeling like a human win/lose sinner
fighting against a divine win/win messiah within,

Internally conflicted
about being sent from past sacred regenerations
of survivors
and thrivers
to redeem a fractured Earth
in preparation for secular/sacred
dipolar co-arising Rapture Climates,
epic Operas,
small operations,
of and for EarthJustice grace,
love,
win/win compassion,

To raise multicultural economic health
from death’s fading door,
to prophecy polycultural nutritional wealth,

To face immanently within
health/wealth bicameral Rapture,
predicting all Earth’s cooperative messianic reweaving
of di-hemispheric bilateral ClimateResilience
for sacredly intersectional ZeroZone Earth

And all Gaian-Christian-Taoist-PolyCulturalist
humane sinners,
winning behavioral secular interdependent resonance
to regain sacredly resilient EarthTribe’s eco-political Trust

In humane sinners
redeemed by hearing divine sainted voices,
nutrients,
natures,
spirits,
NonZeroSum Souls

Becoming secular-
sacred interdependent Being.
