On Theistic Integrity
Let us begin
by explicitly undressing
what may have been
implicitly held
multicultural feelings:
1. For the overwhelming masses
of teeming and scheming
healthy human adults,
and especially adolescents,
peak sexual experiences
are also our peak
lifetime
spiritual experiences
of compassion
co-passion
shared orgasmic passion.
2. Our elder right hemispheres do not,
because they cannot,
distinguish between spiritual
and mental
health,
brain
and body wealth.
With these two declared assumptions,
please join in revisiting
public sector sensitive issues
about constitutionally protected
religious freedom
in the USA,
and probably in other
monotheistic
left hemisphere dominant
cultures,
making privileged spaces
for straight
male sensory places.
Religious expression
is rooted
in spiritual/mental
healthy felt connected
safe experience
of win/win nonviolent communication,
compassionate communion
deep sacred felt
memories.
Family businesses
and corporate executive boards
and healthcare professionals
are constitutionally allowed
to make choices
inconsistent with our own
interdependent spiritual/mental peak
win/win
panentheistic organic experience
But, such a profound lack of integrity
does not help us develop
a more universally democratic
and multicultural frame
of spiritual/mental health care,
well-being
prosperity
resonance
resilience.
Whether nonviolence practitioners
can be constitutionally obligated
to pay war and military,
violence and win/lose aggression,
consumptive capitalist exploitation,
and weapons development and production
taxes
and yet retain meaningful constitutional protection
for spiritual freedom of co-passionate conscience
becomes left brain cognitively complex,
if not downright chaotic.
Whether faith-based communities
can continue to be tax-exempt
feels as clear as democratic
multiculturally celebrated
separation of nonviolent religious expression
and nation-state defensive
straight white male monotheistic
monoculturally privileged affiliation
Why a minute of silent
compassion-focused mindbody experience
feels both constitutionally appropriate
and healthy democracy useful
for opening inclusive self/other governance meetings,
team huddles,
graduations and commencements
from and into great
and even smaller public transitional events,
bolstering spiritual/mental health resilience
of shared trust consciousness,
regardless of which brand of atheism/panentheism
we Left/Right bilaterally embrace.
Whether inclusive multicultural
non-supremacist religious symbols,
such as a PeaceDove,
a Chalice of communal hope,
a messianic modest Manger scene,
a perfect octave of light Menorah,
can be installed in public spaces
to evoke resonant spiritual
resilient mental health experiences
and not toxic mind embodied memories
of homophobic,
racist,
sexist victimization,
trauma,
and chronic stress experiences,
may depend on how multiculturally inclusive
and polyculturally compassionate
our own polytheistic childhood
and adolescent
peak social health experiences
were celebrated,
revered,
reverberated,
honored,
sung and danced,
resonantly appreciated,
resiliently activated.
Whether healthy spirited education systems
can effectively exclude
from indoor and outdoor classrooms
non-supremacist expressions
of positive therapeutic faith
in peak sensory experiences
of sacred sight and sound
divine smell and taste
hallowed touch and feeling
May depend on whether we believe
a healthy polycultural democracy
is rooted in regenerative trust
or in capitalism's competitive
mutual monopolistic
monotheistic mistrust.
Whether faith-based non-profits
can apply on equal egalitarian footing
with secular corporate privileged organizations
for compassion restoring
therapeutic governing grants
to increase mindbody health experiences,
May depend on whether we are remembering
good faith peak experiences
or bad faith competitive
fear of losing out
anger about past bullying
exploiting
terrifying predation
corporate experiences.
Healthy win/win
Wholy Spirited
faith-based panentheistic communities
and individuals can,
and even must,
advocate for public
ego health is also ecosystemic wealth policies,
Including integral, symbiotic health care
consistent with global membership's
most intimately cooperative
mindbody thrival experience
and reflective education.
These issues
and peak spiritual experience concerns
about loss of healthy wealth
also pertain to freedom
of nonviolent communication speech
and freedom from
dispassionate trauma
and triggers of win/lose stress.
Compassionate communication,
win/win freedom
of resonant
primal multi-sensory inter-relationship,
narrates fundamental healthy democracy
sacred trust experience
on which all other integral rights
to mindbody nature spirited health
are rooted,
wombed,
incubated,
rewoven,
morphed,
regenerated
transgenerated
transubstantiated
transcribed
thrived
survived
degenerated
bombed
buried
burned
mourned.
On the other hand,
if we begin with different,
more dualistic
and monotheistic
supremacist assumptions
about this relationship between religious
and peak sensory experience
of everyday intimately sacred
mindbody connection,
then our constitutional conclusions
may vehemently
and irreconcilably
and dogmatically
differ.
