Christian Conversion

I am familiar with evangelical conversions understood as moving away from sinner, unredeemed heathen, unenlightened addiction to evil, demonically disempowered reprobate status moving toward regenerative winner status saved by the blood of the Lamb. This traditional way of processing progressive therapeutic conversion is a change through predation, colonization, of one orthodox religious template for all Other incorrect cultural defects. To the contrary, the Conversion Experience of bioregions, of ecosystems, of healthy v pathological subclimates of polycultural resilience rather than monocultural predation, These systemic Conversions are more akin to, part of, reconnecting with win/win creolization of two or more complex cultures, transubstantiating integrity, polypathic metaphoric metamorphosis of win/lose competitive conversions through predation co-redeemed into win/win cooperative conversion experiences through compassionate prayer, mutual appreciation, interfaith synergetic dialogue Less debate about cultural differences, dogmatic contrasts, however left-brain dominantly important, And more dialogue about multicultural comparisons, orthodox eco-systemic healthy faith values, win/lose suboptimizing values, lose/lose actively despairing degenerative pathological disvalues of assuming victorious predation speaks of conversion through HolySpirit-Messianic-Bodhisattva healthy fruit than does integral interfaith multiculturing compassion polyculturally intelligent win/win discussion, cooperative wisdom discernment of democratically healthy win/win standards for spiritually healthy conversion experiences of interdependent individuals, egosystems thinking win/win ecosystemically with the wisdom of a MotherTree regeneratively converting MotherEarth Longing for humane species commitment to climate health, public body/mind nondualistic health, personal win/win reconversion empowering healthiest enlightening interfaith community wealth. Conversion can mean win/lose colonization and evangelizing missions of cultural predation. But, I find little gospel support for capitalistically and patriarchally and LeftBrain dominantly settling for anything less than baptism through the living HolySpirit creolization process into cooperative win/win regenerate mind/body spirit/nature bilateral binomial bicameral Right/Left ongoing co-empathic conversions. Healthy and Peaceful Earth mediates, facilitates, ecosystemically and organically witnesses, mentors co-passionate multicultural conversions away from sectarian straight white patriarchal capital competitive win/lose anthropomorphically privileged misanthropic lose/lose diversions away from win/win healthy ecosystemic theo-logical Earth-converting ecotherapeutic win/win interfaith Earth Restorative Justice and Peace through 20/20 revolutionary conversion experiences.
