Unconditional Love
What condition is my condition in?
said Yang to Yin.
Unconditional love of enemies,
antagonists,
annoying pests with deploying ideas
of their own
about how I should be
and could become right now,
requires more than non-violent listening,
although this is a good start,
sang Yin to Yang,
listening for bully syntax and boorish semantics,
learning malodorous Other's emotional gestalt
To empathize with Trauma Environment
as truly and positively functional for that Other
at this lose/lose time
is to comprehend yourself more articulately
more integrally
more clearly,
more fully
through this enthymematic positive-deviant
win/win potential co-empathy
To feel gratitude for this teaching
about ego-limitations
assuming anthro-supremacy,
my own limited win/win transparency,
my own antithetical lose/lose weakness,
past ignorance of co-empathic possibility--
negative facets of unconditional love,
still curiously learning.
Buddhists call the absence,
fear,
of openness to opposition
"emotional obscuration,"
walking hand-in-hand with Yangish maya of false ego
anthro pride.
Unconditional love,
boundlessly enlightened Yang,
lies at my threshold of losing ego/anthro-centered fear
of messianic performance
through emotive/cognitive induction
conjoined deduction
co-arising clarification
appositional decomposition
of communicating context,
mind/body neurosystemic
crown/root systemic economy
Wellness at work
in this Win-Lose play scenario
I have proudly built
to protect my security
defacing my impending EarthTribe integrity
win/win revolution.
"understand that you depend on enemies
and outsiders to define yourself,
and that without some opposition
you would be lost"
chimed Alan Watts.
Bucky echoed,
And, after you know you fully understand
the empathic positive potential of your environmental negatives,
then try to COMPREHEND
this positive function of negative phenomena
as Trim Tab oppportunity to improve
your ecologically confluent and function-optimizing design
transubstantiating ego-expansion
exhaling synergetic orthopraxis,
disinvesting from cognitive v affective dissonance,
to play better Win-Win cooperative designer games.
Unconditional love,
nearly mind v body impossible
My only fully shared consciousness,
economically and polyculturally,
and polypathically,
nurturing integral yin with effective yang,
needed and wanted for my active-peaceful revolution
of personal through political therapeutic time
for sufficient spacious seasons,
resilient rhymes
and resonant reasons
embracing my uniquely empowered
EarthTribe identity
serenity.
"love your enemies AS your enemies"
Alan Watts
