To Free the World

I heard today a corporate goal "To free the world of cancer." What I heard, instead, "To free the Earth of human toxic nature." Often rooted in feelings of not belonging, not being good enough, not even fitting in sufficiently, too toxic, unbenign, too loudly aggressive and/or quietly sinister to be known and appreciated as I am, as we are and can deeply learn to love. Feeling unappreciated and excluded can easily confuse discrimination felt effect with explicit intent to discriminate against one-self Can confuse left-hemisphere deductive cultural privilege with Straight White Male middle-class through filthy rich Militaristic-Capitalistic-Fundamentalist Supremacy. I worry our left-hemispheres invest too much in from-above theologically-driven retributive justice for sins of our Fathers and anthropocentric analysis Before noticing possibilities for win/win economic/ecologic prime relationship co-passionate empowering bilateral feelings responsible ego/eco wants ecofeminist needs, longings to win by others losing their patriarchal sense of belonging, longings to win with EarthBound Others winning, longings to not lose too awfully much more while over-privileged over-fed over-watered left hemispheres And emotively under-educated right hemispheres continue to lose hope of safety, to lose faith in economic/ecological co-investment through resilient/resonant cooperative thoughts and feelings and actions, non-violent communications and co-educations featuring GoldenRule energy democracy listening before performing, acting and reflecting, regenerating positives and degenerating negatives Which generally involves a great deal more curiosity-driven listening for win/win neglect, And a lot less brazenly proclaimed shaming and blaming for past win/lose abuse, like a cancer rabid and viral Yang overpopulating living Earth while not worshiping Her Right hemisphere sacred flow of yin-time dipolar co-arising ecologically co-relational health-resonant warm-latticed womb of energy democracy motions more win/win empowering benign organic peace, ease supplanting disease.
