Basic Attendance, listening deeply to the sounds and functions flows and forms of nature's voices, evolves from enthymematic roots toward mutually empathic, darkly transparent nondual dark energy Equivalently empowering/disempowering identity of not-yet-full synergetically integrating pregnant Time, equivocating spatially incarnating positive protonic polymorphic polypathic polyphonic polycultural multisystemic harmonic balance between Yangstimulus(t) and Yinresponse. From this epicenter of Basic EcoPresence, we begin noticing our over-commodified overly-preserved overly-defensive over-canned -insured -criminalized -domesticated, over-pathologized under-assured -insured, under-invested -regenerate sexist and racist and monochromatic disablest anti-cultural economy, habitually uses financial currency as the measure of life-giving wealth, while using nutritional currency as our measure of health. Hmmm. That happens. And? When we must choose between cooperative health survival or competitive accumulation of wealth-thrival objectives, we are likely to return to healthy survival of Earth and all species as ultimate measure of a culture's wealth; and we are each a DNA-informed culture. At least, that appears to be our default positive ecological behavior after the tsunami the tornado the hurricane the financial earthquake the critical interruption of cooperative Business As Usual vacates our competing economic chatter and anemic ego-shrinking identities. So what? Racism, and sexism and class-ism, segregation-ism, and anthropocentric elitism and ageism and capitalism, evolutionary dead end tributaries of self-perpetuating revolution that become issue-isms emerging from an ego-centric Left-brain dominant species. We invest in supremacist (and too often ballistic) elitism when we assume human nature somehow evolves more entitled and privileged and value-capital invested outside our anawim, our untouchables, our aliens, our enemies, our emphatically distrusted non-elites, including lesser endowed natural-spiritual species without concomitant responsibility and risk and opportunity to remember and remain within eco-centric cooperating ballast. Western red skies predict Trinitarian Yang/spatial In-Formation, co-arising Eastern dawn of Basic CoElational nondual culture; positively bilateral YangYin as WinWin temporal-timeless regenerate co-function. Basic EcoDance meets Time's Prime ReCreational Dysfunction: Our economic lifestyle and choices either lean toward cooperating with Time's unfolding wisdom, sometimes called karmic flow of sacred grace, or we can continue to over-invest in competing to possess larger and larger responsibilities for monopolizing quantities of Earth's healthy time. Plan A is Win-Win eco-logic. Plan B is Lose-Lose ego-dislodging competitive self-enslavement irrationality collective insanity masking rich opportunities within Basic EcoPresence sharing Time's polycultural polypathic beloved-ing NatureNurture.
