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.
