Poem
Dear Andrew Cohen, I am riveted inside “Evolutionary Enlightenment: A New Path to Spiritual Awakening.” Earth's sacred theme that enlightenment need not be limited to elitist and orthodox experiences, memory, imagination Inviting us to become co-travelers in and through an evolving epic opera, feels both important and strategic inside this climatic transitional time. Perhaps because I just finished Charles Eisenstein’s “Sacred Economics,” which also tells a transactional creation story of nature's spiritual value, I hearing you inviting win/win revolution toward Earth's primal economic value of health. Not just healthy outcomes for human nature, but for all Earth’s sacred tribes. I am also influenced by other evolutionary models offering polycultural redundancy about win/win evolution of mind/body consciousness emerging toward a multicultural revolution of bicamerally balanced compassion (Julian Jaynes, evolutionary psychology) ego-consciousness in our LeftMind passions as eco-logic throughout humane RightBody pleasures. Where LeftBrain thinks of “vertical momentum,” RightBody feels deep Crown/Root Win/Win Landscapes Ecologically Rooted cooperatively unEarthing wealth/health revolutionary positive climate outcomes. Where you choose “creative,” I choose regenerative therapy. Where you remind us, and warn us, that “ [t]he evolutionarily enlightened soul lives for change” I want to nuance awareness of both positive and negative change, both healing and harming, and more polyculturally enlightened ecosystems nurture therapeutic, healthy change, and disinvest of pathological, dissonantly unhealthy and both economically and ecologically irrational change. That was kind of long, so you can see, I am also influenced by geometric systems of mind revolutionary Prime-Relationship synergetic system theory of Buckminster Fuller. So, again, where you choose “change” I would probably choose “optimizing polycultural health” of positively deviant evolutionary trends. “we are part of a process that is [cooperatively] going somewhere.” Again, while I realize this word “cooperative” may be implied by our evolutionary context for you, that is not necessarily the perspective of more marginalized, stigmatized, under-valued readers who understand our evolution story as profoundly Win-Lose competitive. I learned in grade school that the theory of evolution supports the historical accuracy of survival of the fittest; certainly suggesting it would be to one’s advantage to at least steer away from those who are the least fittest, as these are inevitably hopeless losers in life’s crapshoot. It is both good and important news, then, that Earth’s evolution of ecoconsciousness is both positively trending toward polyculturally cooperative interdependent health optimization, while monocultural competitive independent wealth deposits have already begun to wilt. “Most human beings don’t live for change.” but do live for love, synergy, healthy thrival, mind passion, body pleasure which requires developmental fluidity. I suspect our deep “preconscious orientation toward stasis” is also a deep dis-logical cultural orientation toward Win-Lose political/relational and economic/normative/monomial competition stasis. While “living for change” does indeed sound “unbearable,” living for sustainable polyculturally-inclusive win/win health/wealth-therapy for Me and We sounds like an opulent life of Beloved Community abundance. To conclude, for fear of excessive redundancy, from p. 185, your sentences in quotes, with my perhaps too dense nuancing in brackets: “The cultural ego is the [Left brain dominant-languaged OVER Right brain recessive-inductive] status quo, which lives in both our [Left] conscious [language] and [Right-autonomic temporal-syntaxed, regeneratively felt] unconscious [unlanguaged] minds.” “It [cultural ego] consists of all the deeply held images and conditioned [norms of Earth’s ecological positive/negative] beliefs that define for us what [evolutionary] life is supposed to look like.” [cooperatively struggling with, not competing against while using Win-Lose Evolutionary Gaming Programs and stories, language, absorbed into an ecoculturally dissonant struggle with insufficiency, lack of adequacy, shortness of ego’s time.] Which brings me to the third teleological evolutionary theory in my life; an emerging PostMillennial Taoism, perhaps. Where we struggle against our unraveling Left-brain dominant straight white male over-representation on the “Most Likely to Stay Healthy through Future Generations”, I see Yang power, paradigmatically parallel to Buckminster Fuller’s “convex polynomial universal energy”; and where we struggle with our Right-brain recessive non-white, not-straight, feminist over-representation on the “Most Likely to Help all of us Stay Healthy through Future Generations, I see Yintegrity as WinWin integrating opulent flow-pattern frequencies, paradigmatically parallel to B Fuller’s “concave bilateral unitarian dipolar co-arising/co-falling Time,” breathing in this healthy intimacy of sacred eco-conscious compassion, to breathe out cooperative peace inclusive of all Earth’s Tribes. Do you happen to know what I mean? With warm regard, Namaste, 0-Liver Glory
