The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's mission is to define, delineate, and promote a culture of health, including, of course, the underlying premise of a resilient/resonant eco/ego-systemic space/time climate.
Left:
Let's start at the beginning
of your ecotherapeutic day.
I'm talking today with Fr. Time,
Earth's only fully self-ordained ecotherapist,
and recently published author of
"Journals of MotherEarth."
We have no corporate sponsorships to report,
although we are for sale
especially if you're buying,
or know anyone who is,
and can afford us--
cause we ain't cheap.
Well then,
What do you eat for breakfast?
Right:
Usually mushrooms with fish oil
and a little pomegranate juice.
Left:
Any particular kind of mushrooms?
Right:
No, just a generic mix, why?
You want some recommendations?
Left:
Sure, why not.
You're going to go there anyway.
Right:
Stay away from the poisonous ones,
more toxic ways of being
and becoming
too internally competitive,
combusted,
angered,
riled up.
Left:
Well, thank you, I think...
I know that's gonna make my day.
So, what's after breakfast?
Right:
Usually lunch.
Left:
Is this like a culinary theme?
Oh...I get it...
the ecotherapist
is also a nutrition producer/consumer balancing actor
within regenerative cultures
of temporal health.
So, tell us, Fr. Time,
What do you make and eat for lunch
and are you sure you're not supported
by the Robert Wood Johnson folks?
Right:
Could you do one question at a time, please?
I have trouble hearing both at once.
Left:
But,
you're gonna try aren't ya?
Right:
Well,
only because of your gracious invitation
to apply what we learn from cultures of health
regarding nutritional choices
for internal and external climates
nurturing sensory cooperations.
Left:
Oh yes.
Matriarchy rears your democratic agenda again.
Help me understand
why you connect patriarchal politics
to capitalism's competitive economics?
Right:
They are nondual partners
and are clearly not my protagonists.
We should choose a healthier balanced lunch
in a culture of nutritional wealth,
regenerate abundance.
Left:
Not choose at all?
Or, not choose as much
of the patriarchal option?
Right:
Not choose patriarchal capitalism
over matriarchal cooperative-investment
in democracy-optimizing equity
of nutritional interdependent polycultural balance,
if we have to call it all that.
Although,
why not just call it
Left-Right
Patriarchal-Matriarchal
Yang-Yin
Ego-EcoSystemic BiLateral
polypathic?
This wasted complexity
is beyond my present time
of eco-conscious reason.
Left:
I'm sorry.
Was that yes,
don't ever choose investing in patriarchal ecopolitical systems
or
No, it's OK to go with better balancing patriarchal strengths
with matriarchal nurturing of co-empathic cooperatives.
Right:
Why is it always either-or with you?
Left:
OK. Time out.
Remember our interview contract.
I do the asking.
You do just the both/and answering part.
And, you are not allowed to critique my questions
while we're on air together,
or even later,
when you're off on your own
talking to some other LeftBrain dominant journalist.
Right:
Oh, that's who you are today?
Oops...OK.
Yes, It's OK to play Win/Lose as responsive to prior
patriarchal competitive Win/Lose LeftBrain dominant players
and actors
and governors
and educators
and medical professionals
and care-givers providing only Anger Management fearful skills
rather than deep ecotherapeutic listening skills
to ecological light and dark,
warm and cold,
seasons with nutritionally flowing reasons,
skill sets for decomposing
Principles of Reversion.
And,
no it's not OK
for matriarchal cooperative creolization
of Win/Win ecopolitics
to not exegetically delineate
health-wealth
sacred polypathic ego/ecology.
These two responses
are double-bound,
heuristically notnot,
causing cognitive-affective equivocating dissonance,
until notnot equals matriarchal/patriarchal ecopolitical cooperation.
Left:
And, this Left Patriarchal Dominance
and Right Matriarchal ecosystemic cooperative ownership
and self-with-other governance
is where we Golden Rule started,
in our matriarchal string of wombs,
so,
that's where Fr. Time articulates
delineates
we best win spiraling up and in together.
Right:
My memory of our contract stipulates that,
just as I am confined to ecotherapeutic responses,
you are confined to asking questions
about how I get through my self/other-journeying day.
Left:
Quite right, and left.
Sorry.
sometimes I get drawn into your ebbing
and egging
and flowing
and flowering cooperative web.
So, lunch.
What's for lunch?
Right:
Not sure.
Whatever the Robert Wood Johnson folks
are buying
to further our cooperative global health.
Left:
So.
Not McDonalds I guess.
Right:
At least not until they change their structure
to cooperative employee ownership
and start serving
more mushrooms and fish oil
with pomegranate juice
for lunch.
More of a brunch really.
Left:
Fortunately, I'm out of time
to waste asking you questions today.
So, we'll have to hear about dinner
during a later visit.
Thanks for coming by
and why
didn't you disclose
your Robert Wood Johnson sponsorship?
Right:
Nothing to disclose.
I told you.
I support them
as I support all cooperative deep sacred ecological education
and governance
as ecotherapeutic remediation
of LeftBrain enculturation dominance
way back
in PreMillennial Times.
I signed our PostMillennial ReGenerative Interview Contract
supporting opportunities of cooperative corporate,
profit and non-profit,
public and private sector,
educational and family sector
economic and political health.
Left:
You know,
you scare me sometimes.
Right:
Was that a question?
Because the answer is Yes,
but you scare easily
when confronted by cooperative Commons
notnot (0)-sum ego-ecological sense.
Left:
Is this about who is going to control
this double-binding interview?
Right:
It's about us co-operating
our global ego/ecotherapeutic climates
of discerning just what is our optimal enculturation
of healthy intent,
therapeutic praxis,
co-empathic consciousness,
polypathic bilaterality
toward more gracious ego/ecological
nutritional
balance.
Left:
Is that dinner for you?
Right:
The whole banquet of life through death.
