This piece sets a post-millennial context to compose something like a transposition of Laotse's "Keeping to the Female" (Wisdom of Laotse, Modern Library, Lin Yutang, 1948, pp. 160-161). In doing so, I play with a Taoist understanding of Yang as spatial information and Yin as temporal-non-spaciated information, co-evolving spacetime. This follows an ethological theory of Julian Jaynes that the speciation branch of bicameral Left-Right hemispheric awareness was a biological prerequisite to distinguishing "Self"Space from "Other"Spaciated-Time--the threshold for achieving contemporary "self" as ego-consciousness distinguishable from "other" as eco-consciousness.
Once within eternal time
of pre-LeftBrain domination,
I recall breathing in
EarthMother's richly hued nutrition,
and this Other inhaling me,
purging lungs of misperceptions
that I was Her
any more or less than S/he was me.
We owned this communion together,
sacred breath co-arising
back and forth,
in and out.
It could not yet occur to me
that I might one day purchase or sell
what owned me
at least as much as I owed Her.
She felt so omnisciently
omnipotently
optimally present toward me,
To imagine possessing her
would change my contented parasitic self
attempting to devour the breast
that feeds me.
Symbiotic stewardship
of shamanic Elder past
gave way to defense of ego ownership,
breathing in salvation,
breathing out co-redemption,
inhale-active and exhale-passive,
as original sin of resource shortages
were born of anthro-privileged perception:
We're not enough for all.
Now we begin to teach our kids
to balance consuming and producing
co-redemption,
redacting logically thought assumptions
to regenerate ecologically felt conclusions
To sustain Earth's sufficient time,
stay focused on breathing in and out
with comprehensive compassion
and sacred integrity,
cooperative ecotherapeutic praxis
co-redeeming EarthMother's
prehistoric exhale
economy of nutrition.
Elder kids remind me
of how it feels to lack respected space
of introspective place
to breath more polyculturally
midst all the weedpatch of dislogical
anthro-privileged disvalue
hoarding wealth
exhales lack of resonant health,
competing micro-aggressions
overwhelming integrity of what we take in
with how we have loved to give out
co-redemptively again.
This TransUniverse Regeneration
of balancing bipartisan breath,
both Yang-in and Yin-out,
worries and fears owning organic estates,
real de-natured states of any unkind
anthrocentric breathing entities,
corporations,
nations,
tribes,
persons
While wondrously and synergetically
claiming Prime CoRelationship
of SunGod progenitive YangEnergy
and MotherEarth's regenerative YinSynergy
co-gravitating sacred Mass
BiCameral sighted thought
and deeply felt resound
Sacred binomial liturgy
of octave colored dance
and cultured circling song
PermaCulturating prance
on Omni (O)mega Point
incarnating collective breathing in
what EarthTribe has blown
excarnating out
Upon this spacious
timeless Tipping Point,
we breath in humane prehension
of OutsideYang's ecologic
to breath out divine comprehension
of InsideYin's regenerative economy
Reconnecting wise discernment with all EarthTribe
co-infested confederates of this worldview
LeftBrain verbally dominant
and now over-capitalized
crowning HumanNature
co-redeems what has appeared cut off,
removed and reified
And revolves/devolves
inhales/exhales again
toward now bicamerally re-balancing
innocence as ego/eco-sense
of unconditional warm balance
double-breathing spacious time.
Emerging conscious comprehension
of binomially balanced ego-light
and eco-power
absorbing co-binary double-negative
becomes our positive Midway Model
of all ReGenerate In/ExForming Systems.
Inhale/Exhale balancing principle for all EarthTribe,
we grow enlightened power to predict
polynomially positive prime principle inhales
to cooperatively exhale Prime Non(0)-Nomial
of double negative binomials,
not not coredemptive
again
Wanting EarthMother's ubiquitous honor and glory
OmniEco core identity remains nocturnally obscure
darkly dreaming fertile peaks and valleys
of EarthTribe's Climaxing (O)mega Time
again
Being exhaled
Becoming eternal wisdom's inhaled power
to discern what sustainably suffices light
evolving nature's bicameral integrity
of EarthMother's beloved (0)mega Communion,
again conjoining sacred Present
to spacious organic Here
conjoining timeless Now
felt exhaling back
through pre-bicameral time
again
Deductive breaking up organic systems
Beloved networks reconnecting enlightened design
empowering breathless shape
of co-redemptive wellness strategies
and co-passioned tools
for cobinary bicameral discernment.
In the hands of inhaled YangLaws
and exhaled YintegralPolicy,
egotherapy becomes ecojustice,
if and when,
we cease to sever
what EarthMother naturally breaths in
universal spiritually intelligent in-formation
from bilaterally breathing out
again
OmniPolyCulturing
Universal climaxing
Beloved Unitarian intent.
Yet, this LeftBrain dominant enlightenment
also remains Once within eternal empowering time
of pre-bicameral decomposing language
EcoPolitically unconditional
inhaling regarded thoughts
exhaling warm feelings
this TransMillennial Tao Here and Now
Yang with Yin
Out with In,
Breathing Out
with Breathing In,
ReGenerate again
and again
gaining healthy wealth again.
