Poem
George Lakoff, in The Political Mind (2008), speaks to permacultural tension within democratic governance; between conservative competitions for sufficiently orthodox authority and progressive movements for more cooperatively integrative empathy. This purpose of mind, or human consciousness, is to evolve further humane integrity of Earth's-consciousness; to become more ecologically informed about climate pathologies, internal and external, even global; to draw together LeftBrain's authoritative conserving of deductions with RightBrain's progressive co-empathic trust in Earth, in our polypathic need for each multicultural Other, even for something as politically basic as having, articulating, growing, refining a well-integrated and conservatively-responsible sense of ego-identity. We have no politically authoritative YangEgo if there is not first an economically progressive gift-it-forward co-empathic Yintegral Eco-Earth with nutritionally health-balancing ecopolitical thermodynamics. Conserving the health of Earth and of AnthroEgos is our nondual authoritative LeftYang and co-empathic RightYin co-arising Climate Health vocation, as a species, as members, inheritors and progenitors, of extended DNA/RNA Solidarity families, as individual polypathic ego/eco-conscious self-regenerative identities, avatars of sacred co-intelligent Left/Right PermaCultural Design. While I try to err on the side of staying positive, or don't publish, I want to veer in that other negative-oppositional direction, but out of a "here's what has been helpful for me" place of solidarity, and not that other conservative-condemning voice of "you folks have serious climate issues." In dealing with my daughter's Oppositional Defiant Disorder I have come to see and hear ODD as an indiscriminate form of bullying. Bullying is normally reserved for strategic targets, but ODD is a more chronic and democratically inclusive form, often rooted in early experiences of feeling nutrition-deprived of nurturing. Regardless, for me, ODD has become bullying on chronically paranoid steroids, anger about, and fear of, everybody, Earth, life, touch, sights and sounds, the word "no." In this sense, ODD and bullying are forms of Climate Healing Denial. And, that is how I hear national U.S. political and economic leaders who deny the overwhelming multicultural evidence that climate change is a climate pathological trend, which our most conservative spiritual and religious and moral and atheistic and any form of belief in system development at all agree moves us in the opposite, degenerative, trend of nature-spirit's nondual regenerative healing needs right now. Not in ten minutes, when ego is more distracted, but right now, and in 10 minutes, and 10 days, and 10 months, and 10 years, and 100 years. When our Ego's go off into a paranoid ODD, despairing of Climate Health Progress, inside or outside or usually both, it's time to reframe our deep ecology education about our polypathic healing vocation through balancing our LeftEgo and RightEco consciousnesses; psychologically, sure. But, also Conservative/Progressive Nature/Spirit EarthHealth ecopolitically; nondual, co-arising. Neither natural ecosystems nor sacred spiritual faith experiences can continue evolving in a healthy regenerative directions during a crisis of struggling-against despair dissonance toward chronically monoculturing paranoid climate pathologies of abjectly nihilistic despair; chaotic entropic outcomes. Both Earth's environment (eco) and self spiritual identity (ego) assume and require basic Climate Health toward regenerative integrity, complexity, to continue evolving together. As we have orthodoxically and DNA/RNA authoritatively received, so can we co-invite each other to empathically, and integratively and polypathically, and multiculturally, and ego/eco-consciously give future healthy-wealthy regenerators of all Earth's Conserving-Yang/Progressing-Yintegrating Synergetic Tribes.
