Nature's Controversial Kindness

Taoist Elders have spoken-- and who could natural spirits be to rewrite cooperative history-- nature, and therefore spirit, does not favor kindness. Christian Elders more recently issue citations to this Problem of Evil incommensurabe with Father's Loving Powers. Dark issues, these evils and unkindnesses, untimely deaths and dark angry dissonance recycling fear as fear itself. Hunting hurricanes and stalking tsunamis or a smaller issue of, "I did not see that big red truck coming" because I was investing elsewhere, in more internal rumblings. Yet if evolution has no regenerative morality, no eco-normic of sustaining health, then what do we call devolution? If contentiousness has no real-time content, then what is this currency called contentment? If living healthy wealth has no loving synergetic bias, then what is pathology, and evil, and irrationality, and unkind lack of mindfulness, and loveliness? If Ego's anthro-centric view of nature's kindness, then NatureGod's normative and moral ecological regenerative view of monoculturally competitive human-disnatured absence, voiding, decomposing, deathing, fearing, angrifying or merely ruminating sad lack of polyculturally balancing kindness, within as without as within...as below as above...as before as after... Repeat, reiterate, reconnect, remember, religion as necessary. Taoism evolves primally co-arising NatureYang as SpiritYin, both-and, never perfectly either-or, always both kind and unkind potentiating, If kindness is YangPositive then absence of kindness, unkindness, is notnot kindness YinYet echo-balancing YinStill, transparently bilateral nature as spirit of nature's dynamic spirit, never one without the other, nondual co-arising, bilateral appositionals co-gravitating EcoPresent Contenting Now. Absence of loving kindness emerges dualdark anger-fear EgoNature/EcoSpirit cospiraling SelfAbsorption. If good karma is kinder than unkind then isn't bad karma unkinder than kind mutual regard of your left with right mindbody? We speak of natural ecosystems in physical space as our Elder right mindbody sees spiritual metasystemic relationships transactions of co-empathic communication both healthy-kind and pathology-unkind, nondually, yet incarnationally, emerging now, kind nature's default for notnot GreatSpirit's kind resonantly echoing absence of FullGraced Karma.
