Higher Powers

I was noticing that those in the Unitarian Universalist Association, with which I am more or less anonymously affiliated in some far too abstract way for personal comfort, believe in three prime sources for their (our) truth search, rather like a revised holonic trinity, equally at home for Buddhist monk or Islamic or Christian not-quite-so-fundamentalistically BothAnd alive. The first of these is a Higher Power. Now this must have been written by the Yang Universalists within the Universal-Unitarian assembly, because every wholesome Yin Unitarian knows that what is a Higher Power for Universalist Yangers is also a Deeper Power for Unitarian Yinners bilateral BothAnd winners; so, a HigherYang/DeeperYin Power. Then we come to the second source, YangLife and YinDeath. Now any fully bicameral balanced Unitarian-Universalist, just as any Taoist, knows there is always something of Yin within Yang and vice versa. Just as there is something of our daytime lives in our nighttime dreams, and sometimes our inductive dream work presents bilaterally incisive insights into next morning's Tipping Point meditation on and for and of the breathless balance of ego- and eco-consciousness, empathically trusting in healthy YangLife and safety of exhaling final YinDeath, leaving further climatic paradoxes and coaxial dialectic nondualities for future regenerations to sift through, notice, comprehend and decompose, and then reweave again, as full-octave light emerges from dark so life emerges from embryonic death the absence of discontinuous life at egocentric levels posing both risk and opportunity in wider and deeper nutritional Earth-centric becomings. Finally, we have sacred texts, the YangLogos and YinMythos of experience reflected in the memory language of Wise Elders, presumably filled with both Higher and Deeper Powers. So, that's it. We have the Higher PatriarchalUniversalist Power with the Deeper BiCameral Learning MatriarchalUnitarian Power living and dying to WinWin nature-spirit nonduality together, as written in the fusing-fractal DNA and RNA of each sacred ecological phylogenically regenerative and co-operative reproductive rights and wrongs re-creation story. Now the 3-Source trinitarian story takes us to the 7 Principles, which some permaculturists would expand out to 12, while spiraling octavists, and maybe sufis and artists, stop at 8, but nature reweaves as a regenerative bilateral-fractal 4 seasons of health and safety regenerativity, or cooperative ownership and self/other governance, if you are a Yin-Unitarian NonZero-Sum economist or a Yang-OneEarthClimate politician or possibly even nondual BothAnd alive and growing out your extending UU-Taoist family, tribe, species, planet, the wu wei in-between horizontal and vertical spacetimes where Earth and Sun/Moon radiant Sky nondually co-arise seeds, trees, and other bilateral root and branching health and safety systems seeking both Higher and Deeper Powers of reproductive reweaving continuous life and discontinuous death, sacred regenerative texts; not to become confused with degenerative twitters.
