Poem
I was speaking with a bus driver mom about her bipolar son withdrawing from meds on a trial basis, hoping to qualify for military service. She was praising the strengths of her son's Christian school, from which he is about to graduate, invested primarily in anger management technologies, learning to tolerate what you have not learned to love. To which I responded, If I had to choose between behavioral tolerance development or centering and breathing stretching techniques, which is not the case, I would begin with, and continue my larger investment in, centering dipolar meditations. She readily acknowledges knowing of centering-breathing-stretching meditation, but has had no experience, no education or training or therapy of this ecosystemic nature. So, I told her she could go to youtube, but I'm thinking that breathing Yang in to breathe Yin out probably won't mean too much to her, much less breathing in Interdependent Earth and breathing out EmptyEgo, so I added, Just breathe in radiant empowering God the Father and breathe out the One MultiCulturing MindBody of Christ's Holy Spirit. And, with his hyperactivity, it will probably be easier for him to begin doing this while walking at some comfortable pace outdoors, away from sounds of too much Yang, I mean, the sounds of machines. He will teach himself, over time, to bring this centering focus into his inside sitting and standing, listening and speaking, voices later, as he more Left-Right ego/eco-balance matures. This seemed to register for her, perhaps both Left deductive and Right inductive. It was past time for her to pull away. As I watched her diesel exhaust follow her down laurel hill road, I wondered about why the Western mind seems so stuck on seeing the secular and sacred as if two distinctively different and incompatible worlds. Why theological faith cannot also be teleological belief, and vice versa, and one need not be more or less wisdom-elite than the other. Why humane nature cannot also be sacred-divine nurturing, the still speaking and listening voices of Elders past running through our rivers of veins and arteries, through our bones and marrow, through our brains as secular-deductive minds with sacred-inductive bodies, absorbing both regenerative and degenerative EarthBound-energies. Why must we have such a transcendent divide between our Creator God of regenerative nutritional processes and our more immediate re-creative human natural embodied mind of and for regenerative health and safety progress? I can see where a theologically all-powerful God emerges through multiculturing polypathic teleology of regenerative positive health and nurturance. And, I can also see my teleological meaning as climaxing within a Beloved Community of Ego/EcoMessiahs and Bodhisattva Warriors of and for peace and EarthTribal justice; coincidentally breathing now, and breathing through RNA and DNA memories of prehistory's regenesis, and carrying seeds of future nature/nurture regenerations. Why is nondual co-arising theology and teleology such a roadblock for the LeftBrain dominant mind? This dominance over Western theology and teleology was historically and culturally, secularly and sacredly, intending to act as a bootstrap, a cooperative lifeline more than a competitive deadline, toward Left-Right teleological-theological co-arising nonduality of Eastern bilateral karmic positive/negative strength with abundant flow of Western co-messianic grace, Left and Right West and East North and South CerebralCortex and BrainStem, co-interdependently bilateral. Too much Yang sub-optimizing diesel-fueled politics, not enough WinWin EcoLogos of Sacred CoOperative CoOwnership Economics. Too much breathing in God the all-loving Father, not enough exercising out this One MultiCulturing MindBody of Christ's nurturing theological and naturing teleological trans-historic Love.
