Water's Weakness

There is nothing weaker than water But none is superior to it in overcoming the hard, For which there is no substitute. (Laotse, "Nothing Weaker Than Water", Lin Yutang, trans.) That weakness of mind and body overcomes strength And uniting co-gentleness overcomes uniform rigidity, No Yang does not know; No yin can put out of practice. Therefore the Sage Says: Who receives unto self the calumny of the world Is the preserver of an equilibrious state. Who bears the dissonant sins of the world's living systems Is the resonantly full-conscious bicameral mentor within this NOW EarthHealth moment. Straight words seem crookedly wrong, distorted, inadequate. Evolving Time flows revolutionary. (Adapted from "Nothing Weaker Than Water") Prophecy's weakness is lack of co-redemptive empowerment. The strength of prophecy for therapeutic effectiveness is its weakness as multiculturally dissonant. Too much dissonance is dismissed as insanity or sainthood or martyrdom. Too little dissonance is not prophetic and therefore not co-redemptive. This cutting edge tipping wu-wei point of rationality is the weakness of optimally ebbing and flowing water as ecological synergy as Positive Yang balancing synergetic Yintegrity Win-Win Double SpaceTime Body/Mind Binding Teleology. When Yin-Water absorbs Earth, then She becomes stagnant entropy, chaos, disorganized dissonantly dismayed unable to continue flowing, flexing, fluxing, surfing. A Uniformed Yin EcoCenter evolves a stagnant pond where were dynamic rivers, seasonally surfing oceans-- a Holding Space wherein Time stands still 3-dimensionally, a vacuum of interior landscaped atmosphere; more likely to produce a horrific monoculture of mold and mosquitoes than motion and revolutionary change. For this we want Time's flow function, swelling springs of comprehensive consciousness. Western Business-As-Usual culture understands love as "kindness" sourced from affluent success. Coincidentally, Eastern polycultural comprehensive consciousness of Time as panentheistic ecological "love" evokes mutual, co-redemptive, namaste-- A Buberian mutually mentored I-Thou bow. Love, mutual gratitude of synergetic energy, requires a Bucky Fuller dynamic balance between freedom to comprehend and embrace our eco-center in each eternal moment, a subconscious freedom from mere Ego consciousness, our more fixed static stable Left-brain's "small-self" center. Kindness, and unkindness, are gratefully, and rudely, extended, not extended, to ourselves as bound with "Other." These are ego-ionic actions to teach us how to be more co-invested in each of our primal relationships with Love's ecological comprehension of Time's rebalancing ways. What is fair, within contentious issues, is found where our mutually held eco-center points, always wu-wei midway between the most Yang-power value extreme and the most Yin laissez-faire "both-and" inclusively uniting absorbency. Nature abhores a perfect vacuum of either EgoBody or EcoMind, Left v Right dissociated intelligence. When we identify with a "downstream" yin position, our underdog empathy extends to include reaching toward increasingly marginalized and irrational "Other" position of empathic co-identity. Our eco-centric Right-brain starts from this position, as a holonic reiteration of "Self's" encultured history, then flows economic and ecological integrity of loving values "upstream" toward our mutually mentored, taught, experienced, planted and rooted and trimmed and pulled, and encoded lexicon, decomposed and co-empathized, intuited Mind position, looking for that tipping point boundary of the unconscious that is wide enough to capture all synergetically oriented practitioners racing issues through our surfing moments and lives. Peace trickles up and out, as Justice pours down and in, washing back and forth through fields of unconscious cognitive dissonance, to emerge toward a consensus of collectively generous, but not overly generous, merciful, inclusive coredeemer ecojustice. If I lacked something of the "underdog," the "understory," the "criminal" and "crazy" within my holonic human nature, then my nature would be neither holonic nor human. Yang's "bad boy" universalist megalomania and sociopathological ego-power is a challenging competitive dimension within our ego-centric, anthroprivileged view of evolution's meaning; while Yin's ubiquitous "Other"-love as "Self," generosity to the extreme of unitarian body-exiting wishfulness, is our more primal RNA holonic-cellular intelligence of integrity's ecological win-win scenario, devoid of ego's place-distinguishing, and often dissonant space, too loud, and Left-brain dominant, voice controlling language. Kindness and unkindness are transactions between unequals. Generosity and stinginess of empathy, and what eco-consciousness invites as appropriately proportional response, are transactions between mutual mentors, muses of gratitude, and integral lack thereof. Differences between ego's intended kindness and eco's well-practiced integrity include a Taoist position that kindness and unkindness are not found in nature, although love, as synergetic mutual gravity, is the spiritual source of natural systems, in bilateral life-space and love-time, as opposed to the existence of... well... nothing; entropic unconsciousness. Kindness suggests I am extending something to another that this person has not earned, does not rightfully and justly deserve within the normal flow of time's river. Generous integrity is a mutually intended practice of radical equanimity and empathy, a grateful acceptance of our profound interdependence of cause and effect, stimulus and response body and mind. Generosity is about absorbing and hopefully co-redeeming our mutual assets and liabilities to resolve an issue whose outcome can be a mutual win from a position of profoundly radical coincidental/correlational mutual mentorship co-identity.
