Poem
I stumbled over Paul Tillich's translation of the MessiahMentor's Other Great Commission. The Great Commission we learned in Sunday School was to go out and convert the barbarians and savages to Christianity. Yet this Other Great Commission feels like a necessary prerequisite, like requiring Statistics 1 before wandering on into the further abstractions of trending probabilities and improbabilities that savages could become barbarians and barbarians become civilizations of savage-barbarians as uncovered in Statistics 2. Tillich's version of St Matthew (5:48) reads "You must be all-inclusive as your heavenly Father is all-inclusive." Jesus has been exegeting perfect love as favorably contrasted against not-so-perfect love, and the conclusion summarizes with YHWH as the perfection of all-inclusive love, so this is also our civilizing humaning-divining destiny, this perfect all-inclusiveness, which would seem to necessarily include the nature worshipping savages and the MightMakesRight barbarians within us all. But, what I wonder, from my presumably partially redemptive civilized perspective, is how could becoming all-inclusive perfection of love be anything less than taught by God the LogosHeavenly Father and mentored by Goddess the MythosEarthly Mother? These two faces of one co-arising nondual all-inclusive love of the hunters and gatherers, the MightMakesRight Patriarchal and the Cooperative Matriarchal barbarians, and the strong-masculine/nurturing-regenerative-flow civilizing as creolizing LeftYang bodyminds and RightYin mindbodies. To perceive oneself as one of the holy civilized rather than barbaric unwashed seems to deny the endemic creolization, adaptation, adoption, co-opting, extracting from what was before that is the matriarchal-cooperative nutritional stuff of a nurturing emergent co-acclimating civilization. To comprehend myself as patriarchal/matriarchal civilizing speaks first to becoming all-inclusive mentor of love, including all the YangNature and YinSpirit of my barbaric heritage, remembering adolescent hormonal waves of supremacy v intimacy, and embracing my own TerribleTwos savagery; I must eat when I am hunger, drink when I am thirst, sleep when I become tired of all Other. This perfection of all-inclusive bicameral love emerges the first clue how to share good co-redemptive news to be found within every holonic tradition, every ergodic rhythmed transition of which we are each a necessary, but never autonomously sufficient, part, in our savage through bicamerally civil maturation, mutual-creolizing acclimation. Ergodic: like holonic, only dynamically inclusive, as holonic is statically exclusive of partiality. A process (progress, evolution) in which every sequence (stage, regenerative frame, co-acclimating development) and/or sizable sample is equally representative of the whole (as in all-inclusive holiness). A creolizing progress toward 100% Yang probability that any dynamic state (stage, regenerating frame) will recur AND zero-sum LoseLose improbabiity that any regenerative-creolizing-acclimating state will never recur; Yin-entropy-virginity-emptiness. Perfectly all-inclusive love like YHWH's as MotherEarth's is ergodic-holy-holonic acclimation, from RightElder brain stem savage EitherYang/OrYin, Out/Or-In, identity formation, through barbaric LeftBrain Both/And RightBrain co-emergence of adolescent coming of nature-spirit competitive age, and too occasionally more civilizing cooperations with EitherBoth/OrAnd mutual balancing acclimations, on toward more all-inclusive Left/Right co-arising nonduality of perfect WinWin love, within as without, Yin dialectic bilaterally ergodic (matriarchal-cooperative) as Yang deductive holonic, uniting savage barbaric civilizations of cooperativity with universal divine inspirations, creolizing acclimations becoming even better ecopolitical news about both private and public health trends and probabilities. From this view, it seems curious that Pope Francis would look back through vast histories of spiritual experience and find memories of God's priestly invisible hand and mind and regenerative bodies within married men, but not married women, especially within that long permacultural history of motherhood nurturing perfect all-inclusive love, from savage infants through two year olds, through barbaric hormone-drenched adolescents, on through maturing-civilizing-acclimating adult children of all genders and gender preferences. What could be more priestly stewardship, and yet also prophetic promise, than giving blood-baptism's birth and ergodically nurturing healthy continuous support through all our holy all-inclusive diversity stages within WinLeft-WinRight bicameral nondual co-arising, and civil-cooperative, BothBarbarian/AndSavage becoming all-inclusive love?
