God Is Love Is God
A problem with using scripture
as a spiritual guide
More prominently
more fundamentally
more evangelically
than establishing a relationship with a mentor
a teacher
a spiritual director
facilitator
mediator
between egocentric LeftBrain dominant reading
and ecosystemic RightBrain sacred listening
for integrity
synergy
interdependent nuance
healing
divinely restorative justice,
When we first hear,
"God so loved Earth"
we naturally conclude
such compassion is incompatible
with God so loved all of Goddess Earth's
living indigenous Tribes
regardless of colors
like green
red
yellow
brown
purple
violet
ultra-violet,
even burnt orange,
and black and white
which are more about oppositional contrasts
of light
and melanin
than any color
shade
tone brilliance or dullness
of left or right mind.
Then, later in the same verse
beloved by monoculturing missionaries,
we read
"Whosoever believes in God's Son
will not perish
but have eternal life."
As if these words also read,
"Whosoever does not LeftBrain hear
about God's Great Messianic Historical Event
will perish
and will not have eternal life."
Which RightBrain feelers for integrity,
listeners and explorers
of Win/Lose redemption-committed multicultural mediators
like Holy Spirits
universal Win/Win lovers,
compassionate teachers
and healthy resilient ecofeminist leaders
can transparently
and vulnerably hear
as a false negative corollary,
An illicit LeftBrain sin of omission
inappropriate for a universal EarthLover
omnipotent God
Made in humane LeftBrain verbal images
of judgment
Straight White Patriarchally entitled
to blame
and shame Others for ignorance
sin
failures of win/win universal principles
to remember to keep sacred
as Sabbath and Scripture
all Golden Rule everyday compassions
Both LeftBrain true Facts
and RightBrain beautifully interdependent Relationships
of Inform/Export-Communic-ation
Communion
Tran-substantiation
Creolization
Re-Ligion
PolyEmpathic Integrity
of individuals' secular thoughts, local
and synergetic sacred feelings, global.
