Julian Jaynes, rooting around in early split-brain research, developed an evolutionary theory of left-brain dominance concomitant with the development of language, and therefore cultural evolution of knowledge and history and Earth. This bicameral theory of human nature's cognitive and emotive development remains controversial, although it appears to have interesting explanatory power for why the more technology-mechanistic behavioral and dialectical versions of Positive Psychology appear to produce robust health outcomes. Of particular interest is positivedeviance.org, on Positive Deviance. And, for those who are looking for the cooperative and polycultural optimization trends of history, projected over the next 100 years, the tellus.org is a rich field for those who would co-mentor and -facilitate this Great Climatic Transition.

Some of us first heard about Ego from Freud, and have continued hearing various attributes more recently outlined by Andrew Cohen "...the only reason I take ego so seriously is that the path and practice of Evolutionary Enlightenment is dedicated to creating a new world in the territory that lies beyond it." This territory that lies beyond Ego, let's call this Eco's Exterior Landscape, where Eco has two aspects, --interior, embryonic Earth --exterior TransParent nutritional compost Universe, as Earth's Exterior Landscape and Pre- and ProGenitor, mythically iconized as Sun and solar-power, light and warm incubation. Now, one more step toward Bicameral Mapping. Ego is Interior Landscape Left MindBody deductive, Yang-reductive (without dipolar-relational Yin), and languaged, while Eco is Exterior Landscape Right MindBody inductive, Yin-squared co-empathic of Yang as double-negatives generate space for the positive bicameral, and ecological, articulation of time. With this lexicon as prelude, Eco gives voice through Ego to this TransMillennial Generation: Enslavement to, for, by, as mere Ego-commodified and culturally domesticated wealth deposits is a poorly humane substitute for, suboptimization of, Eco-optimizing health-therapy regeneration, which is what every AnthroEgo truly wants and needs, not really a Thneed, more than any other possible, or even imaginary, cooperative future. Or, so it appears in my own Ego-Eco diapraxis, as my/our language about a globally Beloved Community feels reminiscent resonant resolving evolutionary of a Tribal EcoSystemic historic Golden Age Mythos as Heaven or Paradise, creation of Allah, garden of God, primal balance of Tao and Zen Buddha Zeroist BiCameral MindBodies. Within this Great Transitional NotThis-NotThat Septum of co-arising gravity and breath, regenerative trend indicators are seeds, genes, memes, paradigms, paths, carnations, embryonic decomposed with cause-effect reverse-correlational deviance and thereby noticed as Positive Deviant Elational Presence, avoiding suboptimizing Business As Usual Win-Lose assumptions, Ego's prejudice about scarcity of quality time right now as "Lose." EcoEarth Tribe Right MindBodies are precessively, implicately, fore-shadowing, inviting, mutually subsidiary associations with improved ectosymbiotic positive Yin intent, not yet articulate-able through Ego's left mindbody deductive-only language and full-willpower of Yang. To Right Eco MindBody positive health intent suggests polycultural non-dissonant (confluent) effectiveness and efficiency of reiterative redundancy and nurturing nutrient nutritional resonance; what Game Theorists define as Win-Win universal gestalt assumption. Humane natural systems, then, become co-arisingly (bionically nondual) projected back to DNA/RNA Interior and Exterior Landscapes doing our confluent best to avoid endosymbiotic dissonance to optimize regenerative species and EarthTribe ecotherapeutic outcomes, empowered by permacultural design as Left-Right Yang-YinYin Win-Win ecopolitical wu-wei bicameral Tipping Point Wisdom trending health-care networks. To paraphrase Andrew Cohen, Ego speaks a more serious BusinessAsUsual deductive path and price toward Revolutionary ReGeneration, co-arising dipolar with Eco dedicated together to recreating an old world mythic logos in Eco's Exterior Landscape that lies before and beyond Ego's left mindbody PreMillennial AngloAlpha-Righthand dominance.

Gerald, great read. You have a clever way of sharing your pen. SKAT

"Sharing your pen" could be taken more than one way, but either way, I am glad it is clever, suggesting not entirely predictable. I do worry about becoming a Johnny One Note, but this is how my left-handed muse speaks--so what else could I do? G O
