ChristLike RePublicans
So, Doc,
I have this huge black looming doubt
it is possible
in my disUniting State
to remain both Christian and Republican.
Really? Because...
Well,
because "Christ-like RePublican"
begins to sound like an oxymoronic hybrid
for self-dissonant identity,
encouraging those who bear this cross,
as I emergently do,
to perpetuate some identity
as Publican disempowered by fear
and anger
and increasing fits of unhealthy rage
but also Co-Messiah poor
in naturally enlightened spirit
Vulnerable to overpowering
shame and blame judgment
Transparently co-passionate
without hostile boundaries,
to win/win resolve
YintegralMind v YangBody
co-dominant sacred bicamerality
Like a naturally mindful
richly humane self/other
body/mind spiritual health advocate
feeling divinely poor.
Another oxymoron?
Like a rich extractor
from unnatural LeftBrain verbally dominant
disempowerment,
without sufficient monotheistic enlightenment
to return every spiritual gift
of healthy panentheistic value.
When I do my inside political
and economic
and monoculturally RePublican analysis
of Earth's sacred communion communities
including Nazareth
about 2000 years ago,
Republicans recast themselves as Publicans
and Christ-disciples transform
into panentheistically cooperative
Holy Nature/Spirit
Body/Mind neurosystems.
Abrahamic Messiahs
of recycling YHWH ReMemory,
reiterating messages of LivingEarth cooperative love
as revolutionary peace synergists,
democratically resolving
and eco-politically regenerating
co-messianic sacred communion
CoPassion strikingly dissonant with hate and fear
and elitist anthro-centric
self-righteousness,
the anti-panentheistic counter-evolutionary hell
of devolutionary UnHoly Nature v Holistic Spirit
sacred OrganicBody v secular AuthenticMind
overly dualistic reactionism,
overly LeftBrain dominant ego-supremacy,
overly AnthroPrivileged RePublicanism.
Well, now that you patiently mention
self-blame
and body-shame,
did Christ think we should become Taoists,
and Democrats?
Well, I hear messianic prophets
don't always
get our yang political monotheism
lined up with HolySpirit opportunities
for win/win neurosystemically co-invested
panentheistic enlightenment.
Too often engaging in anthro-partisan Win/Lose
zero-sum devolutionary campaigns
hoping to achieve Win/Win bipartisan
healthy democratic outcomes.
Again,
not sure Christ can become
your bodhisattva Taoist Democrat either.
Maybe I'll go off and build my own little garden
and evolve into a polytheistic De/Re-Composer
of Cynical Lose/Lose unhealthy
disconnecting monotheistic
anthro-supremacist religions.
But, if successful
with your isolated paradise garden
you risk never re-emerging
as an AntiChrist-like MonoPublican.
Maybe a compassion empowered
EarthTribe ReComposer?
becoming a more wealthy
co-invested gardener
slow-growing more polypathic
Green Christians.
Hmmm. yes, someone should try that.
Sure hope it isn't monotheistic Me
against sacred panentheistic We.
