I Ain'T Feelin' It

Could what a political scientist would call deeply held belief also be what a psychologist could identify as a feeling of affinity or aversion, trust or distrust, confluent familiarity or cognitive-affective dissonance? "I deeply believe Tasteless Trump is the logical conclusion so richly deserved by the Republican Party." Is this position rooted in a belief system or an empathic feeling of trust/distrust system or are these dualistic ways to speak of one nondual feeling-belief mindbody system? If our political and economic choices evolve out of our complex sensory networks of health v pathology, both ego-internal and eco-external, both endo- and ecto-symbiotically evolving, then how do I know that what you believe is not what I experience as a feeling of trust v. distrust, dissonance, confluence, basic aptic contentment, or stressful stretching to find co-empathic commensurability, as something nondually in-between your evolving belief systems and my evolving feeling sensory-rooted systems? For political party planning, community organizers have a useful iconic principle: Highest and best original investment system will generate the most widely replicable positive community outcomes, but only for those well-spoken, empowered, within the original highest and best co-investor system. Or, something like that. Permaculture Designers have a similar system design principle: Greatest effect with least loss, least effort, least suffering, least dissonance. Combining these may reproduce a new-old Golden poli-economic Rule of ReGenerative Systems Development: Optimize systemic belief/feeling integrity by learning holistic wins of love management, given current co-investor potential. Given current poli-economic co-investor potential for freedom toward health, as freedom from pathological anger, freedom toward love, freedom from fear of fear itself, freedom toward learning trusting truths of co-empathic beauty, as freedom from dissonant terrors of self and other hatred, fundamentalist monocultural elitism, sociopathic anthrocentric suprema-cynicism, suicidally hypnotic addictive self-idolatry of LeftBrain ego-predative dominance. More holistic current feeling/belief learning potential evolves love/synergy through inclusive deep listening and then intentional practice of co-empathic eco-compassion. Deep learning our belief-feeling continuum, noticing what were oppositions now feel like heuristic appositions, slowly, integrally, inclusively discerning our shared vision for optimizing potential regenerative co-empathic trust intent. Given my current belief/feeling left/right yang/yin nature/nurture scientific research/spiritual development situation and story, my blessings and apparent curses, resonance and poli-economic flat-line echoing silent dissonance, I am trying to do my part to regenerate healthy ecosystems biosystems of life and dying decomposition, with least loss and suffering, ecopolitical death, resulting in highest and best nutritional effect for my, and our, and Earth's feeling-beliefs, both political and economic, ecologically evolving systems for health regenerating safety of future generations, our EarthTribal PostMillennial CoInvestment, our vulnerable innocents facing climatic transitions. Would both political and psychological scientists recognize an embryonic DNA/RNA scripted baby as a deeply rooted belief/feeling system, hopefully evolving toward political and economic maturity? Like Republic Party Investors giving birth to Donald Trump as their Favorite RelentlesslyWhite, nonIslamic Son, to re-present their most nutritional offering and sacrifice, a sacramental icon of political and economic monocultural elitism, not recognizing the superior polycultural power of co-empathic trust has already slapped them in the face; but just to wake us up to our own naked absence of basic trust in double binding principles of political subsidiarity to economics of integral-dialectical-nondual complementarity; trust beliefs form as well-fed feelings flow.
