Poem
What condition is my condition in? said Yang to Yin. Unconditional love of enemies, antagonists, annoying pests with equally annoying ideas of their own about how you should be and become right now, requires more than non-violent listening, although this is a good start, sang Yin to Yang, listening to this boorish language and syntax, but also hearing this malodorous Other's emotional gestalt. To empathize with Negative Environment as truly and positively functional for that Other at this time is to comprehend yourself more articulately more integrally more clearly, more fully through this enthymematic positive-deviant empathy, to feel gratitude for this teaching about your own self-limitations, your own limited transparency, your own antithetical weakness, prior ignorance of empathic possibility-- negative facets of unconditional love, still learning. Buddhists call the absence, fear, of this empathic openness to opposition "emotional obscuration," walking hand-in-hand with Yangish maya of false ego-pride. Unconditional love, dearest Yang, lies at your threshold of losing ego-centered fear through emotional/cognitive induction conjoined with deduction, co-arising clarification, appositional decomposition of this specific emotional gestalt, economy, well at work in this Win-Lose scenario you have proudly built to protect your security in this face of our impending joint-eco-identity revolution. "understand that you depend on enemies and outsiders to define yourself, and that without some opposition you would be lost" chimed Alan Watts. Bucky echoed, And, after you know you fully understand the empathic positive potential of your environmental negatives, then try to COMPREHEND this positive function of negative phenomena as Trim Tab oppportunity to improve your ecologically confluent and function-optimizing design and ego-development toward synergetic orthopraxis, disinvesting from cognitive and affective dissonance, to play better Win-Win cooperative designer games. Unconditional love, nearly impossible, and our only fully shared consciousness, economically and polyculturally, and polypathically, nurturing efficient yin with effective yang, needed and wanted for your active-peaceful revolution of personal through political ecosystemic time and seasons, reasons and rhymes, your uniquely empowered EarthTribal-identity. "love your enemies AS your enemies" Alan Watts
