Choosing Empowering Values

What values do I choose for a human body? mind? nature? spirit? sensory soul? What values do we choose for a humane embodied species? for maleness? for femaleness? Yang and/or Yin values? for empowering strength and enlightening flow? Do we choose these values or do we inherit them? Wholesale values learned from marketable skillsets developed from those now physically gone yet metaphysically and multiculturally forever? Or do we also choose as we mature in chosen/unchosen experience to embellish and extend humane empowering memories and enlightening imaginations out to all Earth LifeTribe cooperative values, And predative disvalues, rooted in anger, flowering in retributive injustice systems authorized by straight and/or white and/or male privilege, And competitive misvalues, choosing win/lose survivalist fear of change To value profoundly regenerative polycultural multicultural becoming together in valued sexual bodies, evaluative sensory minds, revalued sensually experienced hearts, invaluable bicameral souls, root organic energy systems for enlightenment left-brain dominant, empowerment right-brain multiculturally prominent Morality of past light memories for future EarthPower humane-divine natural-spiritual secular-sacred ecological-theological resiliently-resonantly valued imaginations. What healthy values do we most wealthily imagine for a human body? democratically egalitarian mind? unprejudiced nature? compassionate spirit? humane culture? divine climate? sensory listening soul?
