Religious Ties That Bind

Religion could be more spiritually grounded in healthy ecological relationships were theologians and governors to remind each multiculturing Other, This re-connecting work of religious economic and political enculturation is less about unchangeable past history of TruthSpace and more about continuous, resonantly reculturing EarthBeauty Time Less about petrified fear anger unhealthy distrusting demonic place and more about fluid compassion, safe timeless double-binds of graced eternity. Double-binds are sometimes recognized in moral theology-- damned if you do and damned if you don't; Seldom blessed if you do and grace if you don't. Two negatives equal a positive but two polarized positives equal a mess of confusion. R.D. Laing connected verbal communication between individual victims and socially empowered authorities like parents and teachers And perhaps evangelical theologians demanding we love God more than Ego, Yet if we understand Ego as merely autonomous from God's omnipotent grace, then we have not yet personally enough accepted God's love into our self-made hearts. Double-binds are double-negatives as double-binary x's and y's, 1's and 0's, binomial prime relationships like Yang and Yin and dipolar bonds of appositional association Co-defining eco-refining Earth's regenesis with fractal DNA and RNA double-bilateral structures Like 4-dimensional spacetime of co-arising co-acclimating bi/di-polar dynamics either/or AND both/and left resonant with right hemisphere interdependent communication non-violent, so, compassionate-- These are not often enough positively re-ligioned re-connected rewoven into the fabric of double-binding win/win choices, healthy, mutually trusting, democratic discernment, nondualistic dialogue theological and ecological, psychological and neurological, organic and democratic, sexual and sensual, historic and cultural, memory and mysterious hope For dipolar co-gravitating spiritual death and natural life ecosystemic experience, systemic divine climax, sacred wonder and secular spiraling recycling regenerating awe Root to branch to flower to seed new/old root re-ligioning systems.
