January's Dark Light

Dear Sacred Son, I realize this feels like a Win-Lose New Game Year, with you as "Loser" and so it is, a self-fulfilling prophecy equally as powerful as if you could find a way to choose this as a Win-Win Game opportunity, with only shorter term risks likely, with you as CoWinner and so it would be, your new year self-fulfilling prophetic resolution. January strikes each new year with tough love messages everywhere you see time's cold harsh claw fang of Lose-Lose angry threat of fears, self and other hatred of political and economic and personal and familial hypocrisies, thinking we might ever Win through trying Love's narrow path between Angry memories and their foreshadowing winterish dark Fear of freezing death. Especially true, perhaps, without Advent advantage of more positively waiting in elational CoMessianic Expectation during December, hosting Winter's Solstice Transition from Win-Win new year expectation into Lose-MaybeSomedayWin ego pay-it-forward investment in eco-health and therapy by divesting of EgoSelf v. EcoOther SuperCompetitive Pathology. Even, if not especially, in cold freezing heart of January, it feels good and warm to remember AnthroMind's EarthBody Interior Landscape as warmth contrasting cold Exterior Wintering Landscape of dipolar revolution toward Summer's Win-Win reconnecting health wealthy maturation Whether incarnate or excarnate, either way, this year is likely to get much warmer and refulgent and resonant within six months, before things start to shake down for EarthTribe's next perennial round. Perhaps it helps to imagine your Interior Landscape as already experiencing July's warm climaxing Beloved Community, worshiping together in verdant sensual gardens and fertile fields Or more silently sitting before an old-rooted tree or sublimely fractal unfolding flower, or re-imagining beauty of humane thought divinely felt bicameral consciousness Eco-centric balancing neural nature and nurture culture renewing iconic language patterns and springtimed rhythms In/Ex-forming community communication systems and history of sensexual science and social-political psychology and economic bullish summer evolution and bearish winter hibernating ecology, and then Earth's long dark January nap As a warm radiant round of internal light and exteral power baptizing sensory neurosystems in EarthTribe's global atmospheric bright drifting toward another lazy January sunny afternoon, Interior Landscaping for Win-Win Ego/Eco Play. Your Summer Loving and Winter Retiring, Dad
