East Greets West

Western theo-logic:
Christ's (God's, Progenitor's, Allah's, etc.) 
redemptive economy of grace
leads to Divine/human universal salvation.

Eastern teleo-logic:
Buddhist (Hindu, Taoist, etc.)
co-redemptive ecology of karma
leads to sacred/secular unitarian compassion.

So,
Western theo-monoculture = Eastern teleo-polyculture
salvation = compassion
healthy economy = wealthy ecology
transcendent grace = immanent karma
universalist-ectosystemic = unitarian-endosystemic.

Human West-dominant/East-recessive enculturation 
has a universalist deductive dualistic perspective,
which unitarian inductive feelings cannot fully articulate,
while disuniting ego/anthro-centered parts
of EarthTribe panentheistic holiness 
has a reductive function,
which indigenous neurosystemic intuition 
of ecosystemic solidarity 
cannot fully explain,
to paraphrase Alan Watts.

Right brain co-passionate unitarians
greet Left brain dominant universalists,
to bihemispherically co-arise 
bicameral co-redemption.

Universally present time
meets uniting three-dimensional space,
as bilateral Yin/Yang Eastern cooperative enculturation
mutually bows with 
trinitarian empowered YangDominance 
versus Yintegrity 
Western competitive anthropocentric salvation
reverses Eastern cooperative EarthTribe co-redemption.

The crowning wealth 
of Western monotheism
is bilaterally rooted 
in polycultural health of East
co-passionately greets Western
world views
of anthropocentric 
GodMan-infested 
HisStorical,
sometimes hysterical,
HisClerical destiny.
meets East 
Midway.
