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.

Neglecting Top v Bottom Lines

I worry we co-invest in big private and public corporate assault
on Earth,
on environmentalism,
on longer-term ecologic
and ecotherapy.

Really, honey?
That’s too bad.
Why not also see long-term assault
as the unintended outcome of short-term neglect
to give cooperative win/win care,
health nurturing behavior,
Golden Rule empowering economics,
like we learned in Sunday School stewardship class?

Well, yes, I guess I can see that.
And yet, responsibility for dispassionate neglect
is not the accountability I seek
for assault on climate health

Multicultural landscapes of regenerative, rather than degenerative, potential,
slow-grown compassion fertility,
organically resilient,
full color octaves of strong-hued eloquence,
resonance for future Earth reweaving regenerators.

I wonder if it helps
to remember that assault derives from learned fear-mongering critical-event behavior,
while neglect speaks to more chronically anxious systems
of over-investment in short-term corporal and corporate ego-inflation,
rather than short-through-long-term
mental/physical
ego/eco
inside/outside
bicameral/bilateral
regenerative therapeutic balance?

Win+Win thriving regeneration
health-care targets
big ego-corporate’s Win v Lose survivalist degeneration.

I think you give sins of anthropocentrism too much evil conspiracy credit
and not enough human neglect
of long-term ecological reward anticipation credit.
When positive growth
is measured only in producing accumulation of human wealth
for investors, taxpayers and shareholders,
without any thought to quantities of resources consumed
in exchange for this production,
this feeds further disvaluing neglect
of investment in caregiving and receiving
long-term consuming and producing
cooperative win/win woke up fullness.

You are reminding me
of all the corporations I have ever known
with four-generation Mission Statements
about their corporate Original Intent,
yet, at best, four-quarter profit-making projections,
positive budgetary outcome
wish lists.

And then, too,
we have the four-generation campaign promises
derived from public corporate officials’ ReGenerative Constitutional Intent,
yet, at best, a 6-year re-election cycle,
and more likely 4-year,
or even just 2.

Yes, we do seem to have a degenerative tension
between the post-revolutionary Constitution’s Original Intent
to keep this democratizing revolution going,
for cooperating with the healthy wealth of Earth
and our nation-state neighbors,
as diplomatically and economically possible,
and within our own multiculturing liberties and justices,
peaceful compassions and pleasures
re-acclimating
anticipation of bountiful peace
into diminished restraining tolerance
of un-ecological risk denial

Traumatizing dissociations
organic life-systems could never nutritionally celebrate,
tearing families from their homes,
children from their terrorizing/terrorized parents,
young adults from their malnourished
self-medicating
Defense Business As Competitively Usual

In neighborhoods
of not so neighborly
systemic trauma environments.

Democratizing embodied Constitutions
co-arise economic health
and political wealth

A healthcare ethos
human history could not engage,
much less sustain,
without the compassionately pleasing Other

Where sacred EarthTribe co-investment
in expansive democratization,
mental/physical healthcare maturation,
mutual acclimation,
creolization of Elite with NonElite co-passion

Are drawn with loops and poignant pointing dots
of periods and episodic commas

Deriving objectives for Earth’s co-arising health
and fertile wealthy prosperity

Rich iconic compost
for producing cooperative economic climates,
health empowering landscapes
less likely to neglect ecological values
when drawing economic corporate wisdom’s
co-operative
co-gravitating
co-passioning original
top and bottom encircling
co-spiraling lines.

Earth Hugging

What could I do?

What to do
when your biological,
and even formerly sober ecological,
relationships suddenly veer insanely romantic?

Or worse,
mistrustful
and yet
not always distrustful,
or not,
maybe deeper sadness
and occasional manic gladness
emerging inclusively wider questions
of approach and/or avoid

Both romantic
and yet soberly pedantic
sometimes before,
to plan, for after
feeling up
and/or sore
predicts anxiously down,
as genocide
predicts ecocide,
as biological attraction
follows ecological co-invested transaction
secular lust
must be felt sacred just
to know need for win/win romance
from greed for a winner take all
anthroprivileged chance
to flex power
without sharing light,
capital wealth
without nutritional health,
disvalues of Yang infestment
without Yintegral co-investment values
predation
without co-operative elation

My rabid rabbit hole
suddenly re-opening inter-religiously
grasping indigenously divine romantic
mystery
or sacred nomadic history
not told
or remembered

When mother trees
and father limbs
felt sexy
and bark,
like skin,
felt consensual,
ecologically curious
and biologically courageous

Mystically nondualistic
Yanged up healthy
and yet also,
more kinda ecofeminist
Yintegral safe sex
yet curiously pantheistic MotherEarth
[is, and is not my sacred EarthMother]
outrageously romantic wombing

What to do when
win/win romantic co-investments
don’t go green cooperative ecstatic
resiliently resonating peak experience?

Instead, may feel not just egotistic
but also HumanPredative
pedantic privilege
more than ecologically resilient
and/or romantically brilliant,
depending, I suppose,
on which side of the secular courage
v sacred curiosity
I may feel,
and need,
and want this day

Worshipping manly mountains
and crouching in warm breezed grassy valleys
multiculturally enlightening
and polyculturally empowering

New ego/eco-logical systemic questions
about what to do
when One dominating monotheistic
StraightWhiteMale
dogmatically scripted
incorporated
religion in Power

And yet
disproportionately GrandMother funded
and nurtured
and fed
while marginalized,
still feeling disenfranchised
and stuck

On what to do
when your biological
and even formerly ecological
sacred relationships
suddenly veer insanely win/win romantic

I suppose it has something to do with
avoiding your personal slam-bam purposes
to feed and breed
our EarthRevival slow-grown
inspiraling cooperative
deep sacred meaning
is also highest and best mindbody use,
not abuse

Tipping WuWei toward
P = N(NP)
equitable chance
of ego/eco-systemic
win/win resilient
bio/eco-logical resonant
brilliance,
as LeftBrain Either/Or
Light v Dark
is to RightBrain Both/And
+1/-(-0)= PolyMathic EcoPolitical Equity

Expressed in
polyvagal neuro-systemic communication
polypathic eco-systemic not not mental health systemic
natural/spiritual
thought/felt trauma prevention
internal/external resonant affection
resiliently romantic
good health humored
co-inspiring balance issues

Which keep obsessively
and compulsively,
defensively
and liberally
avoiding
and approaching
fleeing courage
and fighting/freezing curiosity
looping back
to what should I do
when my biological health
fights my former ecological wealth
of co-empathic communication systems,
suddenly and insanely veering
pan-sensory win/win romantic?

Seems a whole lot more
than merely not so win/lose traumatic.

Sacred Communion Skills

I try not to speak
ahead of feeling certain
I have something of health value
to wealth contribute
in this our neuro-sensory Commons.

Yet, more curiously significant
for our cooperative longterm resilience
as an EarthTribe communing species

I hope to deeply
and widely listen
for ambiguous
paradoxical
uncomfortably nuanced
and complex emergent feelings
becoming anxious anticipations
and creatively stressed
polycultural examinations
polytheistic aspirations

Inspirations
we each
and all together
have complex relationships
for healthy win/win values,
against unhealthy lose/lose disvalues,
and unresolved win/lose misvalues

To co-invest in integral
synergetic
healthy energetic wealth
of positive co-empathic
whole holonic
holy systemic
relationships

Within EarthTribe’s full
holistic
graceful win/win
verbal and nonverbal
speaking and listening
secular and sacred
win/lose and win/win
community

Communications
of bilaterally co-empathic
deep learning
trauma-freeing
eco-cooperative communicators.

CoOperative Communion

These people I safely know
who like to healthy grow
fail to distinguish
between cooperative housing
and cooperative households

Which
as we all seem to know
although textbooks often fail to show
include cooperative gardening
and cooperative farming
and possibly cooperative
organic management
of a polytheistic living planet.

In each interdependent case
we explore something together,
some primal trinitarian relationship
between healthy resilience
and safe transitions
and beautifully balanced
resonant energy

Synergy produces
co-arising fruits of sexual
sensual
and sacred exotic
erotic regenerate sensations

Further witchy wonder which,
like a resonantly tasty
and fragrant,
richly brown and black
white and green
orange and yellow
red textured
robust stew,

Cooperatively touch
and feel
and show
and thereby know
a primally sublime
healthy
safe
and beautiful home.

A Year Ago

About a year ago,
as the COVID pandemic
seemed to subside,
then swell,
happily ebb
and yet impatiently flow

About a year ago
I was noticing cold autumn nights
bringing first frost
to my metal windowframes
and to my post-surgery tired back
and neglected aging heart.

Outside corner unit 315
my view to the south
of brownfield industrial waste
not salvaged
when converting this condo place
to residential co-invested space.

Outside all our interior doors,
a CommonsGrace ignored
for at least a decade of degeneration
now accelerating divestment
by investors seeking rental profits

And also by resident owners
who could not feel certain
that others felt shamed
by a stained
and torn carpet,
elevators that sometimes worked,
cracked and vaporously blind windows,
dilapidated doors,
impending rot
and gloom
and financial doom.

Now
a year later
our parking place
awaits demolition,
to become hauled away
dismissed
disposed of,
further disgraced,
to be repurposed
refaced
in some future highway
graveled trace.

A year later
our communication grace
is in transition
from feeling alone
victimized by our own hired hands
and by our Commons Governors
indulging an economy of capital scarcity,
patriarchal politics
of executive privilege,
an implied theology
of StraightWhiteMale
monotheistic exceptionalism,
as if godly wisdom comes down
only from an enlightened professional high,
and not from within
our sacred ecofeminist administrators
teachers
mothers
grandmothers
sisters
at least as swell.

Co-invested in cooperative
win/win resolutions,
ecologically reconnecting EarthCare constitutions,
health and safety non-prostitutions,
Yang strong and Yintegral flow
of bicamerally balancing institutions,
mindbodies for longterm healthy democracy,
transparent bilateral trust

Nonviolent communicators
cooperatively planning
and priority budgeting
to heal our side-by-side loneliness
by reconnecting cooperative care
for EarthTribe Wisdom:
a formerly healthy
polyculturally wealthy
sacred planet,
a multiculturally inviting property
for growing edible and ornamental plants
and health-minded wealth-embodied people,
enlightened LeftBrain strong and vital
empowering RightBrain co-empathic flow
of root
and gut
and sacred peak experience feelings

While planning not just to survive
our individual autonomous lives
but also to thrive
through EarthCare
for at least another 7-Regenerations
of healthier healing LeftBrain
ecological co-relations
and safer sacred RightBrain
panentheistic
EarthMatriarchal
co-empathic re-connections.

Our individual victim histories
of patriarchal-capitalism
now repurposed
to help heal our co-invested residential experiences
with PolyCultural Communion,
rejoining planet Earth’s great transitioning
climate of health and safety enterprise

Rather than hiding in self-judgment
and Othering shame
for moving in
to unhealthy and unsafe
historic property demise.

And,

Natural Seeds With Spiritual Roots

I can see difference,

Somewhere Sometime Somehow

Most of life plays out somewhere
somehow
sometime
in-between resplendent deification of MotherEarth
and rabid defiance of EarthMother
wisdom

Is a peculiarly Republican challenge,
confusing unchanging
uniform
divinely dogmatically inspired
Tradition

As if such Tradition were against
healing
unitarian economic political flow
of Earth-conserving sacred grace
slow-growing
co-invested capital resources.

In this confusion,
sometimes
somehow
somewhere
lies an undemocratic patriarchal challenge
lacking divinely inspired liberal love commitment
to multicultural Creation health values

Such as active compassion,
faithful kindness,
hope-filled planetary organic co-investments
in green empowerment

Full-spectral
ongoing long-term health systems
in-between fractal/seasonal transition boundaries
extending humane/divine octaves filling-in
multicoloring metaphors

For health wealthy
enlightening regenerative structures
systems
cycles
spirals of GreenPeace Revolution

Neither defying past sins
of all AnthroTribe omissions
to care for EarthMother
indigenous wisdom

Nor deifying future wins
of HeavenFather co-commissions
co-investments
co-empathic somehow
somewhere
sometime in-between revolutions,

Great Green transitions
transubstantiations
naturally spirited traditions.
