This piece was inspired by,, and concludes with, a transposition of Laotse's "Warning Against Interference," p. 164, Modern Library, Lin Yutang, ed., 1948.

We have an enemy within called the ego who prevents us from using our mind intelligently. It hides deep within our heart and emerges with regularity to challenge and consume our will. Rumi (M. Mafi, trans.) We have a challenger wrestling within called our Ego emerging with regularity to confront and distort our deeper will for more resilient nonviolent communion. Not one of us believes in optimized incarnate power within ourselves, an Other, a State or Nation, Earth, our Solar Systemic-Fueled Universe, compatible with a total absence of any power among, without. No faith in the power of love's intent, without evidence of evolving-revolving peace-growing practice. No omnipotent power of love, without all EarthTribe's ecotherapeutic health. While Earth evolves an orbiting planet composed of diverse tribal species, polyculturing forms, eco-logical functions, rich octaved frequencies, Earth is also one holistic cooperative, self-regenerating economy; which rises and falls with surfing surfacing ecological tipping point balance, of ego-centric Yang with eco-flexing Yintegrity's prime double-binary regenerate double-negative binomial equivalence. Economics evolved from agrarian and survival instinct origins when our original transactional intent was to sustain breath and heart beat, then memory of self as interdependently identified from and with Other, to culturally understand Self as parasitic dwelling within a sometimes benignly balanced, normative 4-seasoned, cooperative RNA-encrypting Host, co-arousingly displayed by our DNA-inspired ecosystems of organic residency, body, home, family, Tribe, species Exchanged, bartered, fore-given redeeming values are eco-nurturing spirited extensions of eco-logical natural systemic development. Stimulus-Response as What comes around, goes around, as Golden Rules and Rational Ratios, where half-root of 2 is always 1, as half of 1 Ego is (0) soul EcoSystemic. What are we becoming, that commerce and markets and sustainable new economics pause with unholy terror and awed stagnant, flat-line silence? Horrific wonder about our erratic change of climate's rhythms and patterns without, as this TransMillennial Regeneration's internal ecotherapeutic climate predicts scorchingly manic competition within an understory of ecocidal depression, a too-polypathic absorption into dying self-identification. What would we be if we could justly recall our permacultural economics of ecotherapy applied both within our without synergetic landscape and within our within (0) ecosystemic love? Warnings Against Interference predict Teachings For Interdependence. There are those who would conquer everything and everyone, their Win is our Lose, And make of us what they conceive or desire. They cannot ultimately succeed, one cannot win a Win-Lose game, unless there are at least two survivors willing to play. For this Solar-Interdependent System is God's own eco-normic eco-logical Vessel It cannot be made whole by human nature's ignorant retributive interference, stumbling about like elephants uprooting tender grass. Those who commodify eco-value spoil it. Those who hoard this nutritious well-being wealth lose it. For: Some yangs go forward, as some yins follow therapeutically behind, like surf surging in, then backing out. Some breathe out too hot, so some breathe in to cool off; Some are too strong, So some are wilting; Some species have broken, so all species may fall. Hence Wisdom eschews human nature's anthro-centric hubris, evolves aversive toward extravagant power over Earth, each Other, avoids egocentric pride, dissonant with ecocentric eco-normic comprehensive comprehension of Nature's prime systemic wu wei conscious principality of tipping point balance toward optimized sustainability of all life wherever it can be polyculturally ReStated.
