Universal Stories

All of us, or nearly all, have had both spiritual experience and some religious teaching, sometimes from prophetic pulpit ScriptureSpeakers and sometimes through more maternal StoryTellers, and all immersed in prodigal parables bridging gaps between internal spiritual experience of nutritional love through toxic hate, ecocentric good through egocentric evil and sad, and religious instructions about how to do better, more cooperatively, next time, gratitude co-investing Earth's rich health grace. All of us, or most, for cooperatively better and Yang/Yin competitively worse, have had both economic ecological experience and prophetic, and sometimes pathetic, political teachings about how best to govern our YangLeft-RightYin regenerative selves, our local communities of bicameral cooperative intent, our counties and provinces and parishes and bioregions, our nations as our MotherEarth Planet eco-cooperative place of original embryonic Earth-Mother's matriarchally nutritional spirit-nature nondual co-arising Grace as both God and Gaia Earth's Creation invite more gratitude together than Yang v. repressed Yin apart. Which came first? Spiritual and ecological embryonic experience? Or political-religious-cultural prophecies and laws and legislation, mediated dogmas and political nominations for your persuasion and co-investment in Anger Management EgoTherapies and Love Abundance EcoTherapies? Or do they SpiritYin-- secular NatureYang-- co-arise nondually toward equivalent polypathic Grace abundant Gratitude? In other words each embryonic new birth is also an ancient reforesting regenetic unfolding of phylogenic instructions for reforesting our lives in potential-Eden, for Paradise perpetuation from now through at least 7-ReGenerations. To paraphrase avid David Holmgren, we best remember gains and losses from culling forests, ecosystems external and egosystems internal, are made health and pathology possible by Earth's deep rich cooperative eco-learning diversity of Patriarchal Grace greeting integrity of Matriarchal Gratitude; experience first intended while still in loving Mother's Spirit-Natured Womb. Be careful who you deepest listen to, are fed and bled by, said TransGender Virgin Mary, when reforesting your forests in and out. From thunderous tones of too Patriarchal Voices and the flowing grace-octaves of original sensory experience, you can usually delineate those who know differences between culling and raping, and those who not so much have first clues, prefer to speak first about their own ego-political competing issues. If in their most important scripture stories, the women, and the poor, and the marginalized LGBTs, and the people of rich deep enslaved color, have only bleeding parts instead of speaking and singing and dancing parts, then it's time to shop 'til you drop for a more polycultured Creation Story of PolyPathic EcoPolitics. Can you imagine, asked the VirginMother of Her Son, Where Yang spies swim upstream Yin also hears and smells and feels flying, gliding, sailing, weaving and reweaving more downstream than up, first concave inside then convexly out?
