Degrees of Separation

The story of my unique biosystem goes back, as does yours, through six degrees of separation, each with its own dominant culture, tincture, color, taste and feel. Feedback loops began with rainbows and tidal streams ebbing and flowing and lunar and solar cycles. Looping back in spirals of ecosystemic revolutions in WinWin fractals and octaves, of resilient color and resonant sound, despite apartheid evolutions in Business As WinLose Usual. In 1868 when my eight great grandparents may have been children of slaves and of slave owners and were probably children scandalized by all the above, James Clerk Maxwell wrote a paper On Governors before electricity even had a name, much less a governing harness for commodifying light to see ears to hear Energy Democracy. This seminal systems analysis was about ancient, but not timeless, feedback loops of nature, and perhaps cooperative ecosystemic spirits and notnot WinWin open therapeutic feedback loops and Business As Usual closed WinLose thermodynamic loops for regulating normal EcoPower Over exterior climates and EgoPower Under interior climates, although he was more familiar with vicious WinLose circular systems and virtuous WinWin feedback co-governing loops. Yet roughly two thousand years earlier LaoTzu, of Taoist Yang with Yin co-arising fame, also wrote to governors about egos and ecos yang/yin wu-wei narrow septic balancing, and YinSquared valleys of restorative light equivalent to Yang Mountains of and for WiseElders, Left-Right West-East Mountains co-arising Valleys of bilateral co-intelligent governance. Yang working cooperatively with Yin as contrasted to EgoCentric hubris of EgoYang powering over EcoYin's matriotic resilient understory of notnot WinWin YinSquared fractal-octave enlightenment, healthy co-governors v pathological overseers of the unfortunately NonElite. Those poor in spirit but often rich in creolizing soul. From where did my ego flow across more than six degrees of generational separation? Who did my sixty-four great great great great grandparents listen to when they were learning how to develop healthy ego and eco-centered co-governing loops? What were their diverse languages for sacred-secular reweaving Creation Stories? Villages restoring healing to land and sea and sky, to hearts and minds in enlightening co-governing inter-related bodies of individuating ego-identity surrounded by ecosystemic multiculturing voices singing and screaming, gentle breezing and fury blowing, tropical and artic, bright and warm and wet and cool and cold and dry. Two hundred years ago my sixty four root tendrils were almost certainly memories of WiseElder words and songs and dances of most loved slaves and slaveowners and how they were so scandalized by such blatantly WinLose peculiarities of supposedly LeftBrain mature cooperators with RightBrain co-governing secular ego health with sacred eco-abundant co-enlightenment Light of Left-Right separations, ego-eco systems, co-governing back through at least six ingenerators of interdependent separation, journeying toward eight degrees of spiraling integrity capital-invested co-regenerative redemption, restorative healing, hybrid of ego healing within and upon Earth's ecotherapy. Retributive WinLose cycles of longing Yang with restorative WinWin recycles belonging Yin need each other. For how would we recognize cooperative health without too competitive pathology?
