Poem
I'm reading The Evolving Self: A Psychology for the Third Millennium, by Czikszentmihalyi, and How the West [sadly] Came To Rule: The Geopolitical Origins of Capitalism, Alexander Anievas and Kerem Nisanciogla at the same time. Czikszentmihalyi (C) wears academic labels of Positive Psychology, interested in why and when and where our psyche's do cooperatively flow best, and when differentiated ego-identities are more likely to get in the way of mental happiness optimization, a co-empathic nondual bliss zone. Anievas and Nisconciogla (A&N), well, it's complicated, but Anievas wears a political scientist label, and is interested in why and when and where differentiated economic and political forces are more competitively successful, winning in the militaristic and racist international volumes of violent comparative history. This ecopolitical story unfolds unevenly empowered by resilience of ecosystemic balance between healthy land and workers and multicultural harmony, at least on the more matriarchal home front of transgenerational nurturance, formation, WinWin familial and/or tribal, and/or feudal ecopolitics. Here, international power relations grow up to become the proud military-capital invested parents of their prodigal children, racial-cultural elites playing WinLose survivalist evolution against internal-flow health of non-elite bioregions. It remains unclear whether these Western Winners might have chosen to optimize more inclusive WinWins by leading with cooperative ecopolitical empathic trust strategies; just as this is often unclear within our day-to-day family feuds, or even the egoLeft-ecoRight battles written across each internal human heart. I start wondering if C's co-arising forces of ego-differentiation and Self-with-Other harmonic flow opulence could, on a wider, more geopolitical, scale, be dynamically equivalent to A&N's uneven ecopolitical maturation and integral flow wealth, ebbing and flowing international trends toward capital-rich nutrients. If so, then these same appositional duo-dynamos are at work in Yang force with Yin flow, Left MindBody dominance with RightBrain elder-sacred economic recession, and yet within this larger stage the personal integrity possibilities of Left-Right geopolitical mindbody ecobalance remains. At least imaginatively; rather like a Thought Experiment of spectrum-relativity. Each geopolitical phylogenic development process begins baptized in a nurturing health-wealth matriotic economy because this is true for each of us as ego-identified. We might stand within historical reason beginning with Elder RightBrain's temporal-only center, more autonomic and bilaterally-bicamerally intuitive. RightBrain intuition could be an important source for Positive Psychology's healthy nutritional flow patterns and rhythms toward Self/Other integrity, co-empathic trust as ecopolitically cooperative wealth. In this time of urgent need to improve climate health, rather than adding further pathological Yang LeftDominant competitions, evolution's phylogenic development invites healing through Yin-integrative flow, reconnecting paradigmatic networks, revolving our ego-eco deep learning YangEgo ebb to more fully sustain Yin's eco-climate flow. Another approach, also ending in whatever "eco" means to you, whether home or Rome or Earth or even the worshpi of capital itself, is to notice that history is itself Yang Dominant, as Yin-RightBrain speaks only the dialects of relationship. The search for Yang/Yin balance is, in this sense, a search for ecopolitical domestic Left/Right justice with peace flow harmony, deeply learned and held by the daily non-event miracles of nonhistory's matriotically integral evolutions of sustained climate health continuing to struggle with monocultural LeftBrain militaristic and competing capitalistic WinLose wrongs of climate pathology. This does not say, nor imply, that gender climates and racial climates and military climates and economic climates are all the same difference. Nor does this suggest one is more important than the other. That would be a YangDominant process of differentiation. Needed now, for multicultural polypathic deep learning, is Yin's integral DNA/RNA solidarities of double-binding (0)sum temporal-evolution-incarnating fractals framing eternity signs of octave torus matriotic integral and patriotic external refining eco-harmonics, regeneratively guiding climate health away from climate pathologies, both psychological and geopolitical.
