Beyond Leftbrain Intelligence

In Beyond Religion
the Dalai Lama offers non-sectarian roots of compassion
to motivate global cooperative behaviors
and nurture inner mental health values.

He begins with the assumption
his readers are asking,
How and Who are we
to become more compassionate,
kinder,
more forgiving,
more health v pathology discerning?
Not just in our root passionate intent
but in our actual co-invested behavior.

We already respond to such questions
by educating our health/wealth nondualistic hearts,
holding these two
Left and Right together,
never again apart.

We already work to restrain negative behaviors
with anger and fear mindful
non-mongering
non self-marketing
anti-predative
pro-cooperative management.

We already combat and absorb,
sublimate and acclimate
destructive emotional impoverishing tendencies.

We already aspire to cultivate ego-health values,
passion,
patience,
contentment,
self-forgiveness for past and future woundedness,
peaceful sufficiency of time for compassion's well-being,
left and right bicameral discipline 
toward mutually transparent ego/eco-confluence,
and co-operative personal/political generosity, paid forward
from one DNA-inspired wealth generation
to those healthy co-arising next.

Such practice,
everyday practice,
awareness practices require no special equipment,
no sectarian religious or even anthropocentric beliefs,
no lack of pro-active commitment to vulnerable 
transparent
universal EarthRooted compassion.

Our global and local vocations,
across vast seas
and on our own thresholds,
to live ethically unitarian, egalitarian
integrally
harmoniously Earth patriotic
resiliently
resonantly
regeneratively with and for all sentient and sensed Others,
with a wealthier GoldenRule scent of health becoming co-operative,
is already co-passionately practiced
practiced
practiced independently of any sectarian nature v spirit 
positive v negative
left v right dualistic-dissonant intelligence.

Deep natural health and wide spiritual pan-sectarian wealth
educating our cooperatively owned and managed DNA integrity
infused and still faithfully pumping Elder RightBrain child's 
holistic
autonomic hearts
and newer LeftBrain's conscientiously deductive minds
already co-invest passionate bilaterally committed time,
past through future strings
unweaving and reweaving nature/spirit species
networking spaces within 
multiculturally sustained sensory effort.

Cooperative
integral
global health spirited through local resonantly embodied 
efforts to learn kind-hearted health
with wealth-minded integrity

So we can all left/right
yang/yin intelligently benefit
from already enchanting personal/political
ego/eco-logical
co-passionate Light,
co-operative non-sectarian Ways,
co-interdependent nature/spirit Truths.
