I think this piece may become aware that patriarchal monotheism is to messianic transcendent SunLightened faith as panentheism is to immanent EarthPowered bodhisattva hope.

"To have Clarity of Intention means to align oneself with the clear and single-pointed purpose of that [regenerative] impulse itself. And the way that alignment occurs, in a [bicameral] human heart and mind, is that the intention to [co-]evolve becomes more important [and obvious and ubiquitous and nutritious] than anything else in this [living ecosystemic] world." Andrew Cohen, "Evolutionary Enlightenment", p. 111 Life is like a game of Old Bodhisattva Maid. We co-arise the cards and hands we have been dealt and have dealt ourselves facedown, we have gifted and been gifted. So now you know, we made that Old Maid hairshirt and capital choking tie now in your hand, just means its your time to wear them until they find some other happy hapless guy. Love is like a game of Wise Elder. We co-arise our carded minds dealing mutual subsidiarity to co-gravitate together facedown forward, faceup backward down through time's past intertransactional memory, co-empathic gifting to and fro. So now you know, we made this Wise Bodhisattva Elder shirt and tie at Left and Right MindThought and BodyFelt hand, just means its our Time to help us compassionately wear them until We find some Othered unhappy hapless ego-soul To have Clarity of Intention, healthy body/wealthy mind to co-align oneself with equanimity to each moment's co-arising Old Wise Elder Maid cooperative Win/Win game.
