Seasons of Enlightenment

The original Independence declarations of the late 1700s were born from a West European colonizing and North American creolizing immigration wave knowing and exploring a God of EnLightenment, opposed to dark evils of inherited entitlements to monopolies of economic health-hoarding and greed, political wealth of supreme self-empowerment. This newly minting ecumenical God of Enlightenment spoke most resonantly through the Holy Spirit of those Separatists and Quakers and Pilgrims seeking a New Eden in a New World of natural-spiritual freedoms to grow regeneratively, and freedoms from overpowering attacks by EnDarkening degenerative nature-spirit entitlement powers. While this God of creolizing nature-spirit EnLightenment did give post-revolutionary way to the born-again elitist Christian God of Awakening, opposed to the unenlightened secular and pagan not reborn, this was a reactionary dualistic after-thought separating the newly elite EnLightened from the unwashed Not Awake Yet. The God of EnLightenment was much more transcendently democratic, both hopeful and faithful, and lovingly lavish including all forms of regenerative natural-spiritual intelligence. Even a great Landscape of New Eden could itself become an enlightened ecosystem, whether Christianized, to bring traditional creation story language to this co-redemptive (0)-sum WinWin economy, or, even more transcendently, merging First and Second Nation Gaia stories. An important difference between the Awakening God and the EnLightening God is this dynamic of cultural transcendence of labels and ideologies isms rooted in deductive competition's necessary assumptions. In God's transcendent experience, cooperative relationship remains a timeless Yang Master while ecopolitical and psychological competitions, within and without, become our eternal YinFlow Servants; never the other way around. This is the only natural and spiritual function for supremacy of power within our Original God of Master/Servant Enlightenment, cooperative creolizing enculturation, deep ecological listening and learning and languaging and teaching, more yang empowering than oppositional paradigms and trends that can also be reconceived as yin appositionals, hypostatic GaiaSystem bilaterals, MidWays, WuWeis, Tipping Points in between rocks and hard places. In this Holy Enlightenment Spirit, we more clearly find resonance of health-giving and health-receiving with wealth of happiness as sufficient for grateful prosperity for living within this Original Interdependent Intent of our truly patriotic and enlightening constitution of purpose and meaning, song and dance of God the Creator Father's transcendent light.
