Bothyang and Alsoyin

It's hard to think in Either-Or Deductive, while speaking and acting in Both-And Inductive. For example, If my Brother is kind and loving (and he usually is), and really not all that judgmental and condemning with his wife and kids especially fond, and the grandkids, outrageously, and if he understands himself as a BornAgain EnvangelicalOrthodox Christian, which also means an Economic and Politically Patriotic Conservative, especially among rural MidWestern USA proletariat rootedness, he might become concerned, on occasion, with conserving the economy of my Too-Heterodoxi-talkillogical, and not HeteroSexual enough, (0)-Core OverSoul-- presumably nonexisting Holy Spirit/Body of Christ. When we try to discuss his EitherWin Salvation or Lose my Condemned Soul to Hell, it becomes problematic. When I respond that I share the generosity of his loving concern about my future Hellish decomposition and timeless dissonance, absence of ecosystemic-healthy identity through bicameral-consciousness, and I am also concerned about our economic and political Hellish degenerative pathology right today, anti-intelligent anti-ecology, too-Yang LeftBrain Dominant enculturation for too long, Too Patriarchal-Capitalist-Yes but Matriarchal Cooperativist-No, instead of BothAnd, obviously bilaterally self-regenerative! The Hell of Body of WesternCapitalist Christic Holy YangInvasions-Yes! but CoArising Body of Eastern nondualist Wisdom-Teleology--don't even speak of it...makes no sense...does not compute...too heady...not healthy-not regenerative empowering, using Either/Or Oppositional-Deductive Dominant WinLose Gaming Assumptions. Yet the evidence of cooperative-regenerative evolution is ecological-balancing--Yes (polypathic positive) AND the too-competitive-survivalist Win v Lose degenerative devolving disinvestment--Huh? cognitive/affective dissonance, head/heart-chakra distance, from: healthy Bayesian correlational trend relationships [P-Yang = N(NP-YinSquared=WinWin], +1/(-,-)EulerianBinary-BiNomial (0) Primal-Temporal EcoLogical CoRelationship of Light/DualDark Thermodynamic FullOctave-Double-Fractal Appositional DiPolar Tao-Nondual CoArising Yang/Yin (0)-EcoLogical GeoPolitical Balance. Personally, and famiially, and even NorthWestern extended EarthTribally, I am part of our continuously rising and falling of Western CalvinistChristian-RomanCatholic-MohammedIslamic-ConservativeJudaism Patriarchal Fundamentalist Colonizing, Missionizing, Persuading and Terrorizing and Aggressively PoweringOvering AlienRadicalism. My own development, and my Brother's, suggest, sometimes unkindly nihilistic and ego-slavishly, that we can have both our SoulConserving Strength to EcoLogically Progress, as well, co-arisingly; following polypathically exegetical bicameral-bilateral correlationally dipolar-structured, economic and politically cooperative-integral-integrative FlowPower (Grace, Karma) both + and (-,-) ecosystemic-normative-nutritional-nurturing Tipping Point ReGenerative/DeGenerative HealthWealth EcoPolitical Balance as well, and not so swell. I seem to lose him somewhere in these EgoYang dominant unraveling and EarthConscious YinFlow reweavings, surfing waves of Tao-Christian evolutionary history, red out and blue in, breathe out to breathe in, grow YangPower to integrate YinFlow, ChristianWest-TaoEast revolutionary history. This emerging CoOperative WinWin Game Theory of ReGenerative AND DeGenerative Everything (0)-Soul Balancing EcoPolitics, following cooperative ecological-synergetic golden rules, carries too much densely cooperative multicultural, not to mention polypathological, spin. His EitherOr cognitive-affective bilateral dissonance assumes I must be, at best, too polypathically eccentric, unbalanced, I suppose... not deductively-centered enough, not really quite rational or true or, I don't know, not really quite lined up just too left and not right enough. I miss the ocean and the ebb and flow of gusty forested Spring forward and Fall back. They more fluidly speak my Red/Blue multi-octaving language of time's spiraling empowerment and disempowerment, light with dualdark, nondual co-arising ecosystemic Time our health and pathology Ego/Eco Selves. My fundamentally nondual EitherOr Body of Patriarchal Christ hears my RightBrain Elder call for post-millennial EgoCompetitive Ebb to regenerate reweave health in EcoCooperative Climate Flow, discussing the right-fundamental and left-radical values of an enculturation that has fed us nurturing love, in both thought and feeling, which, had we not, bothLeft AndRight, included that which has been true and good for all EarthTribe, I could not have become who I am today, including the parts I'm not so proud of. And yet, he also cannot know in his deepest ecological bicamerality, that I BOTH cherish his Body of Christ Tradition AND the bilateral flow of history's organic integrity from which Earth's ecosystems have regenerated positive Yang and degenerated double-negative YinYin, WinWin Eulerian-Fullerian-Bayesian Correlational CoOperative NonDual CoArising EcoPolitical Health Trends. It's hard to think in EitherOr LeftBrain Dominant when speaking and acting in BothAnd Co-Inductive Integrity is so much more reweaving health and regenerative WinWin play.
