Homage To Integrity

Mental and physical health require, and contribute to, Integrity. Integrity has two faces, internal and external, climates dominant and subordinate, cultures poly-inclusive and mono-segregated, bilateral frames of reference dipolar co-arising appositional. Internal integrity anticipates left with right hemisphere confluence and is anxious when diverse left v right experiences unfold cognitive/affective dissonance, diminished think/feel resonance, fear and anger about absence of deep and wide health, resilient experience, memory, active hope. External integrity is measured in thoughts with feelings of compassion for Other-- people plants planet habitat community communion sanctuary asylum forests deserts meadows family friends animals insects worms... All others passionately magnificently not autonomous Me or diminished by not being controlled by my Ego and all thoughts and feelings in-between diverse polypathic co-passion. Compassion co-empowers with Others, which is not powering offensively OVER AGAINST others, and is not defensively avoiding disempowering total loss UNDER self-defeating narcissistic Others unknown unappreciated and unknowing rich historical passion with Others Re-membered here and now, now here and here now as this positive compassionate energy flows integrity known by mutually compassioned Other knowing passion for and with natural-spiritual Others, including me. Synergy is the end, the Being state of yin-flowing Integrity, always becoming healthier balance, more harmonic, longer and longer win/win resilient compassion longing for Earth's polypathic synergy belonging within cooperative well-being developing maintaining evolving systemic paradigms toward further polyphonic Integrity.
