Poem
Let's do a bit of sacramental gaming. Oh no, Dear! That smells and sounds coldly inappropriate. What would your great-grandmother say? OK, well... how about a mutually refining discussion about theological system development? That might be alright, although heavy. But, don't you mean the development of systematic theology? That too, I suppose, although I have not thought about processive faith-systems in quite that systemic way and means of growing love. This refinement game, then, has already begun? How do we define winning, and why do we refine losing as we inevitably do? Let's try winning as defined by cooperative Systems Theory. When two or more networking systems intend to optimize mutually reiterative WinWin outcomes, producing cooperatively positive outcomes, these derive from synergetically healthy incomes of balancing energy as also harmonically resonant and contenting and cooperative information in and nondually cooperative exformating outcomes out. That seems a bit twisty. Sacramental spirals of spacetime, we might say and think and feel. This reminds me of ekklesia, cooperatively owned democratically managed models of faith-filling experiential communities. And of church as head cooperative sacrament administrator of and for positive ritual faithfulness. Not to change our subject, but did you know experience of polypathic consciousness has been associated with sacramental epiphany? Do you think and feel experience of positive faithful cooperativity when you hear these two words? The Church! Not so much, although i wish I had been reborn into that last word's ultimate fulfillment. How about cooperatively created and designed and organized and implemented and evaluated sacramental life? Are we refining church to become experience of cooperative sacramentum, ekklesia? Could that fit with any experience of sacramental consciousness we have ever faithfully had? I have not experienced perfectly cooperative and multiculturally polypathic democracy. Yet, I can imagine such syncretic harmony. It feels and sounds and looks more like a musical comedy, with tragic still-competing undertones of tensioned climates, lapses in faithful sacramental bilaterally interrelational moments where we remain cooperatively connected through our creolizing ecopolitical dramatics, our sacramental system of each spacetime's sacramentally faithful storied moment, promise of fulfillment. This is rich. And deep. And wide. Positive! And double-binding notnot negative dualdark as equivocating ambivalence delineating WinWin Yang bilateral co-arising notnot YinYang sacramental consciousness. I liked deep and rich promise of cooperative fulfillment way better. It fits more fully and harmonically into our nurture refining enterprise, peaceful sacrament musical-heroic experience, empathy growing bilateral polypathy, bicameral creolizing democracy, positive Golden Rule Promise. And, don't forget your faithful nurturing fulfillment. How could I? You won't let me. You're so controlling. Refining. This is a dialogue with equivalent powers. My strength is bilateral intuition, not so many refining defining words. Of which you insist on controlling by speaking last, hopefully listening first. [No further refining response available...N(NP).]
