Empowering Passion

In passionate psychology, powers of proactive compassion are generally thought of in personal and familial interdependently relational perspectives. In political science, large-scale powers for proactive compassion resist reactive competition to merely overpower the opposition, preferring pro-active energy for liberal love constrains against investments in conserving capital-hoarding capacities feeding and fueling multi-generational greed of privileged inheritance, Social altruism and political violence, passion's contrasting powers might restoratively or retributively justify ethically valid and morally effective resolutions even if not immediately peaceful and universally democratic, Robust political powers are typically thought of as the great and mighty public sector applying state and national perspectives, stories, power histories advocating cooperative public policies and commercially marketing unnecessarily risky investments in egocentric competition chaos, reductive consumerism, conflicting materialism, greed, mendacity, hubris, anthro-centrism, aggressive nationalism, violent racism, deadly fascism, enslaving colonialism, toxic patriarchalism, etc. In psychology, we can easily extend cooperative power to neurology's integrity of positive energy, active internal networking, contrasted with disintegrity of negative power, fading energy thoughts, extinguishing co-empathic feelings, feeding on internal climates of hostility, paranoia, rabidity. In political science we could extend power as analogous to economic energy, cooperatively democratic investment in actively healthy compassion, investment in integrity, and a darker competitive run-away dysfunctional nationalistic supremacist energy unmindful of deadly ecological chaos, delusional divestments away from nutritionally balanced systems, disturbing dis-integrity of public sector negative energy, entropic nihilistic health-threatening policies, procedures, competitive educational protocol, psychological preferences for Win/Lose behaviors and thinking and assumptions underlying unmitigated capitalism. National health power, and not pathological disempowered feelings, extend positive energy climates of active democratic co-passionate WinWin missions Antithetical to reactive plutocratic capitalism, kleptocratic exploitation, A more narcissistic, sometimes even sadistic, sense of fear-mongering hate-marketing anger-imaging sedition from global promise of healthy shared-power futures for integrity's compassionate eternal ZeroSum energy interdependence. When our individual actions do not reflect our personal powers for extending compassion, then we can choose to train and plan and network for healthy positive multiculturing change systems. But, what to do when public sector actions, choices, priorities, do not reflect one's compassionate power/energy political training committed to international EarthEmpowerment deep learning, wide-passioned teaching, polypathic cooperative education, co-passionately non-violent listening before speaking? How do democratically faithful psychological individuals and compassionate faith-in-action political communities restore healthy peace and non-sectarian informed justice for all EarthTribes? Indigenous, and yet emigrating; Immigrant, and yet already green sanctuaried; Healthy-life pilgrims, migrant laborers, producers, consumers, families, evolving communities whose only talking-walking labor is to survive competitive commercialized retributive justice normative educational systems suspicious of diversely WinWin compassionate climates and politically cooperative co-passionate teachers advocating long-term regenerative synergy, secular with sacred nature/spirit communions, healthy wealth paradigms. How do we cooperatively and resiliently continue to financially and communally support government leadership compliant, not defiant, with universally shared non-sectarian values for a democratically inclusive health and happiness prosperity of resilient energy systems rooted in organically compassionate historic constitutions? Where do we draw the compassionate line around anti-democratic narcissistic violations of ego- and eco-therapeutic constitutions? Positively professed for health and truly secular/sacred prosperous non-sectarian happiness enchantment ecstasy bliss everyday loving and mindful passion.
