Father Time's Interview
Hi.
We don't have a lot of time,
or, well, I guess you do,
but I don't,
so let's plunge right into the first big question:
Which came first, form or function?
False dichotomy. No such thing as a totally dysfunctional form,
and no such thing as changing function without some form
distinguished against a static background, or understory.
OK, that was quick!
Not really,
it just seems that way to you.
Whatever,
what about space and time?
Which came first?
Same question.
Same answer.
Space adds formed place
to time's informing and exforming
appositional function.
All right,
so hypostatic paradox meets bilateral revolution
co-arising embodied mind travel,
I guess.
About time.
So you say.
And, yang and yin?
Same question.
Yang enlightens Time's flow
while Yin empowers nondual bicamerality,
delineating bilateral communion,
binomial time's co-gravitating frequencies,
synergetic strings of regenerating cycles
tipping points
mutually rebalancing gravity waves;
Double-binding invitations,
not-not injunctions
co-arising win/win intelligence
as accessible as the nearest co-mutating cells,
inductive intuition,
subconscious non-languaged awareness
integrating communication
aspiring cooperative communion
emerging from a timely pantheistic holding place
of Black Hole dual-dark passion
reconnecting subconscious nonbeing,
timelessness
Eternal fore-giveness,
mutual subsidiary solidarity
coredemptively navigating past stimuli,
pulling, inviting, seducing, branching
toward future's eco-therapeutic response,
ecologically reconnecting
healthy past
wealthy future
in each present moment
Regenerating my Tree of CoArising Death and Life,
fear of too-brief time's revelation,
revolutions between death and life and rebirth
yielding both body purgation
and further mind freedom,
flying facility,
harmonic diversity
of eco-species spaces
and uniquely ego-centering place;
until we overpopulate Earth's climatic landscape
with less than fully optimized cooperative function.
Wow!
Was that good for you?
I don't know how many waves you intended to ride there,
but, anyway,
what about dark and light,
black and white,
dispossession and possession of transparency?
Same question.
Black is white light's full octaved closed-set form
as light is emergent black's informating
octave eight ergodic flow
dark-dense function.
So is that like a color wheel observation
or some kind of cosmologically universal statement?
Yes.
The ultra-violet spectrum completes time's full octave frequencies,
your human natured atomic picture frame,
the outline of a tree
including the tree's equivalent subterranean understory,
and undervalued root neurosystem.
Undervalued by egocentric left-brain dominant culture,
not by right-left bicameral balancers
and health/wealth muses
and timely polyculturists,
all the way back to shamans noticing naturally seasoned
cycling systems of birth and decomposition
and then new birth again.
You did it again,
that thing
when you sound like you're channeling Synergetics.
You start talking about one thing
and then pulling words about some other irrelevant thing,
turning analogical coincidence
into ecological correlates.
Yes.
I suppose that's how language evolved
to iconically place-hold neural memory patterns
of synaptic crisis and aptically benign eco-norms,
structured as fractals
recycling holonic octaves
of frequent flow functions.
I'll take a pass on even pretending
connections between fractal structure
and revolving articulation of syntax.
How about the chicken and egg?
Which came first?
What's the difference?
I don't know.
It's one of those questions philosophers like to ask.
No.
I mean, what's the difference between a chicken
and its egg?
Well, one has feathers and wings
and sometimes lays an egg
and the other is sort of oval
and smooth hard-shelled,
and gooey inside.
This chicken you are asking about,
did it lay the egg
you are asking about,
or
did this chicken emerge from the egg
you are asking about?
Or, maybe both,
at different stages of chicken egg relationship?
If so,
then I guess they too evolved interdependently.
If I may comment off record here,
you keep asking questions about evolutionary production
and consumption cycles,
as if progenitive decomposition,
metamorphic transitions
through self-renewing stages of paradox
were not the reverse face of regeneration;
as if we could have mature plants
during summer's contenting heat
without cold hibernation
of winter's dissonant contentiousness,
or any concept of optimized cooperative living
without something we fear as death,
loss of corporate-structured life.
I told you I would only do this interview
if you promised to not critique
our stupid questions.
There is no such thing,
but some are much more perennially
and permaculturally productive than others.
If you say so.
What would be the most insightful question I could ask you
and please just go ahead and answer it.
Save me some trouble.
Why is the duration of your DNA's life potential
measured only with egocentric
"Closed Set Universe" rooted quantitative values?
Because "Open System" inductive/consumptive life-form balance
is only perpetually (not conclusively) defined
by eco-ionic production of binomial healthy root systems,
double-crossing Eulerian prime relationship spacetime function.
The beginning and end of your DNA string
appear terminal rather than transitional
if you identify your self as ego,
rather than as your co-operative portion of eco-regenerative consciousness.
OK, well, thank you for that,
I think.
How do you feel about the ground covered so far?
Anything else I should ask?
I wish you would give higher priority
to ecological and feminist justice platforms.
What's the difference
between a feminist agenda
and ecological communication?
Nice job;
very excellent question.
Which came first
is like asking which is the producer
and which is the later consumer,
when these functions emerge coincidentally
throughout a life,
a dream,
a generation.
