Doors To Power Perception
Sogyal Rinpoche
tells a Doors to Perception story.
Positive and negative feeling individuals
bear witness to a river.
Those more goddess-like
see this river as great
savory
fragrant
nutritious
beautifully resonant
musically harmonic
multiculturally rich,
a transporter of karmic mediation
preferring win/win cooperative
ecofeminist
green energy conservational
and black lives matter liberally transubstantiating
Earth's indigenous Right
and endogenous Left,
androgynous Left
deducing Right's inductive
sacred seductive
empowerment values.
And
We are those more patriarchal straight white privileged.
Whether monoculturing husbands
or suppressed green ecofeminist
EarthMothers with dam-bursting restorative justice rights
to vote for miserably polarized
and contentious speakers,
rather than more cooperatively discerning
non-violently active listeners,
health care resonant researchers
and climate care legislators
and benignly win/win trans-reformative administrators
Religiously remaining focused
and spiritually framed
on how hellishly ravaged
our monotheistic
and competitive monopolistic
theocratic win/lose assumptions
about river grace racing economies
have become polluted
toxic waste streams
ending in chemically satiated swamps
rather than healthy river mouths
Positive power suppressing negative karma
about the eyes of Goddess Earth Visions
and the ears of Evangelical HellRaisers
Patriarchal Terrorists
Narcissistic MonoTheocrats
Evaporating into
lose/lose monoculturing warp-drive,
aka "Climate CHANGE"
equals Earth's ZeroZone summative core
Full=1.00%
Empty=00%
PatriarchalYang power
perceptual prejudice
And yet,
this Doors of Perception story
ends with the assumption
of Incommensurable EcoSystemic Information,
further logically concluding
from this enthymematic
unstated win/lose assumption
about the empowering value of co-empathic feelings,
of sacred green eco-feminist compassion,
of standing downstream of history's polyculturing
multiculturing
resonantly resilient healthy wealth multicultural flow system,
the ZeroZone Capital ReSource
of River's flowing downhill acquisitive structure,
Both bipolarized banks agree,
flowing downstream health power
is our humane economic resource
and Earth's political ZeroZone Source
Of whatever that redemptive baptismal
and sacred cleansing
nutritious
nurturing water transports
cooperatively-owned
and altruistically managed
And/or polluted,
toxic waste stream
MotherEarth owned
and transported
by deep learning river beds
of communication health power dreams
of ecosystemic communication delivery
Become power systems of neurologically win/win
v win/lose
v lose/lose
polyphonically bicameral
felt integral and holy,
healthy and safe,
wealthy and beautiful
Rightbrain wild
and leftbrain infamous,
Goddess EarthTribal
and Patriarchally Hellish,
Yin trans-regenerating
Yang's anthrocentric ZeroZone
secular/sacred Source
for material and temporal ReSources
To notice each river's full rainbow
of whatever you call that flowing
as compassionately downstream
as time flows
water-powered energy
from up to down
As Earth-born nutritional delivery systems
root down to up sunlight,
as air-born nutrients
burn daily East to West followers,
Disciples and Evangelists of sacred Earth,
when facing the river bed's Northern Source,
feeling RightEast and thinking LeftWest
North in winter's frozen discontent,
South in summer's midstream swelling climax.
