This piece combines the philosophy of Alan Watts with Buckminster Fuller's synergetics, especially his teleological metaphysic of Universal Intelligence, as iconized by  fractal-syntax of nature's appositionally cooperating bilateral (both/and heuristic) compassion, including both positively-convex and negatively-concave ionic energy.,

OK class, now listen up and down, in and out, said Professor Fuller Watts, professing political philosophy 404. We begin with a deductive reductive universal objective lesson, then spread out across inductive intuition unitarian inside/outside formation and self/other-governing intelligence through co-mediating mind/body gratitude. I will speak in bipartisan political language because it shouts at us, all too familiar, but I have an underlying assumption that each of us has some Republican and some Democrat within our arterial minds and hearts and lungs, and all those other organic parts. Our Republican nationalistic patriotic side leans toward universal salvation, just as our bipolar Democratic global citizen side leans toward unitarian co-redemption; there is a sameness and a difference in-between monotheistic Messiahs and polytheistic Bodhisattvas. Messianic partisan leaders want us to believe we cannot have our peacefilled multicultural cake and eat balancing economic ecological justice too, which may help them pay their mortgages but does not help me or you. To my Republican dominant friends: You continue not beating yourselves up for unhealthy chronic economic borrowing beyond Earth's potential for interdependent nutritionally sustainable health and environmental wealth outcomes To retain universal messianic anthro-supremacist Business As Usual dislogic, requires irrational money monopoly standards for measuring democratic health and welfare success for this quarter as compared to last year and not compared to the past seven generations and future seven indigenous EarthTribe generations To sustain high-risk monotheistic anthropocentric patriarchal manifest destiny design assumptions, may require sacrificing our national and global healthcare resonant and environmentally resilient future for AnthroPrivileged saints and most other organic subsystems within Earth's Polyculturing PeaceGarden of healthy LoveLife. To my Democratic unitarian bodhisattvas with cooperative co-messianic intent: You continue beating yourselves up for participating in non-redemptive unhealthy ecopolitical dissonance and hypocrisy about sufficient personal recycling and/or repurposing assets About not balancing your Yang-LeftBrain universal verbal Either/Or intelligence with your Yintegral-RightBrain nonverbal peak Both/And experience, fixating on personal win/lose mind v body competing oppositions devoid of indigenous contextual awareness of Win/Win bodhisattva co-redemptive logistics Still disharmonizing your Publican partisan polarizing patriarchal monotheistic anthems without your democratically unitarian lilies of the polyculturing field deep ecology panentheistic psalms of EarthCreation and Her regenerative Original Progenitive body/mind space/time physical/metaphysical natural/spiritual co-passionate indigenous bicameral wisdom. In the election year we refuse to choose monotheistic enlightened Republic or polycultural empowering Democratic and insist on balancing both LeftBrain messianic Creator and RightBrain bodhisattva CoCreation within our bicameral landscapes, we will more intelligently pursue bipartisan policies and procedures reflecting polyculturally win/win co-development rather than a competitive, monopolistic, self-marginalizing monoculture of supremely ludicrous messianic anthroprivileged speciation. As we learn to balance our Republican Yangish Left hemisphere verbal universal anthro-supremacy with our Democratic Yintegral Right hemisphere's co-empathic unitarianism, we emerge more authentically as mutually benign bodhisattva parasites nurtured by one nondually co-arising, organically self-organizing, holistic panentheistic enthymematic sacred MotherWomb Planet. Now, stepping back to Universal Principle of Thermodynamic Balance: enlightened messianic Universe is also empowered bodhisattva Integrity of unitarian win/win potential In/Ex-Formation bicamerally convex/concave vertex-1/vortex-0 full/empty compassionate seeds buds buddhas With transcendent crowning light and deep-rooted power mind/body health/wealth ego/eco-climaxing resilient consciousness. If God the Father created a Republic-an, then CoMessianic Son regenerated a radically inclusive democracy of EarthTribal Bodhisattva Solidarity prophetic of great transitions as PolyCultural Revolutions for growing resonant health care consuming messianic crowning ecosystemic minds with resilient wealth-care producing bodhisattva neurosystemic bodies.
