Poem Title:
Poem
I was one of ten invited to play an ego-enrichment game, to experience economies of mutual democratic trust contrasted with Win/Lose politics of privileged narcissistic lust. Why? I reasonably ask, when each of these ten invited ego-systems could be home in front of our wood stoves, slurping our chicken noodle soup with lightly buttered whole-wheat toast. Not that I was hungry. But, board-less monopoly games are not my polypathically curious preference for growing healthing trust v pathological hate and hoarding over-investment crimes against compassionate nature. "Universal trust," begins our god-like game facilitator, "is usually only available in the eyes of an infant, or a buddha, or some everyday unlimited lover," or an unusually healthy and good-humored co-facilitator. "This game is designed to facilitate unmitigated trust with each person here" and each ego not yet here within our global polypathic health-system; This cooperating game intends to practice a classic Win/Win Golden Rule." Our Game Rules stipulate each EgoPlayer "will receive four thousand dollars to begin and may invest some or all into a central communion pot, or pass." "After everyone has had an opportunity to co-invest, I will act as banker, count your collectively invested cash, double it from our communal treasury, here at my open right hand, and evenly re-distribute the now-subsidized communal pot." Then, again, each ego-player may re-invest all or some or none into our eco-systemic Commons. Experienced WinEgo/WinEcoSystemic Players, all ten of us re-invested all four-thousand dollars back into our mutual eco-pot. Our divinely generous banker, in turn, gave each of us eight-thousand dollars, and so on until our Heavenly Treasury went bust, while each Ego had $128,000 in highly liquid assets and yet felt forced to pass against all further non-remunerated repetitious uniform and ritualistic play. Now, imagine we ten are active Catholics and the Banker is of a priestly caste distributing communion wafers, one each Sunday to each co-investing player. And, each EgoPlayer may choose to reinvest part or all or none of this cooperatively co-invested Grace received from past weekly iterations. Experienced unitarian WinWin players, all ten of us religiously follow Golden Communion Ethics, reinvest all co-passioned Grace received so ecosystemic Wealth will multi-laterally tenfold double. Until Earth's natural/spiritual Grace bank implodes, maxed out of re-seasonal nutrition cycles, yet organically slow-growing emergent deeper resilient and wider resonant games in ecosystemic gardens among properly co-passionate gardener circles, Networks of Golden EgoPassioned Players banking on our longest-term resilient nurturing Grace as climate pace of just-right resonant reiterating mutually nourishing rounds of well-seasoned Time. In which yangish MotherEarth facilitates Grace disbursements and each YinEgo cooperative Win/Win acclimated player co-facilitates our ecopolitical game to climax co-empowerment, communion pot-restoring enlightenment rather than wasting any valued communal Grace on punishing sub-optimizing weaknesses of narcissistic free-loaders, sheep straying from our GoldenRule WinWin GameCircle of co-investing passions.
