Note to Taoists and Unitarian-Universalists:

I suspect that universalists see Yang-God fear-mongering monotheism where unitarians can also feel Yin-Gaia potentially integral panentheism; and we are all know both Left-Universalist EgoMind historic-natural predative dissociative liberation and also feel Right-Unitarian EcoBody mystical-spiritual receptive re-ligioning re-associative conservation.  Jung's Animus/Anima panentheistic co-binary.

What words do we choose to express our ultimate accomplishments, achieving our healthiest goals, measuring our most successful outcomes? Why do these words, and our feelings about these choices, wave in and out of happiness and prosperity, even when quantitative measures suggest our resilience continues to trend up and out toward infinite resonance? We say we could become anything, but do we mean we might achieve everything, every power, but not necessarily any time or way we choose? How does WinWin associative integrity accommodate WinLose dissociative history? Integral PolyCulturists, global environmental wealth therapists, holistic health practitioners, favorably contrast polycultural climax with monocultural collapse into rabidly aggressive "weed" patches, where "responsible owner" investment "planner" intelligent "controller" master "gardener" you imagined your organically healthy and sacred-beauty wealthy well-groomed and wellness-inviting front yard-- rather than an uninvited cancerous infestation where you intended to extend your healthy ego identity. We might hope to become more adept polyamorous achievers by acclimating to less anthropocentric monopolistic aspirations, competitive Anthropocene climates of self-inspiration too privileged to care about other-expiration win/lose survivalist desperations becoming uncontrollably messy "weed patch" subclimates, stubbornly monolithic EarthNatural disgrace defeating HumanSpiritual grace of concomitant eco-trust and ego-faith in cooperatively resonant win/win well-being resilience ReCognizing ego's always limited co-empathic feelings Healthy anthropocentric neurosystems don't require unwealthy Anthropocene ecosystems anymore than good love-life days require bad fear-death nights Measuring out divine successes and inhumane failures day by day, decade by decade, life against life survival contests, invidious "weedpatch" comparisons, virtuous win/win AnthroMind/EarthBody contrasts, each and all co-arising polycultural integrity's nondualistic potential. Yet, like Yangish competitive AnthroEnlightenment over all Lesser Othered-Lives and Yin's gooier cooperative co-empathic win/win powers with Others, these opposing bilaterals are also dynamically recycling appositional revolutions Neurosystemic health within as ecosystemic wealth without co-intelligent exchange, searching for words and deeds to optimally extend pronoia's tensegrity sacredly resonant synergy organically resilient neuro/eco-therapy, softly contentious sustainable contentment Peace through EarthTribe solidarity and cooperatively-held flexibility, in-between victimization and virtualization, in-between LeftBrain doer verbalizations and RightBrain feeler harmonizations, in-between monotheistic Anthropocene optimization and polytheistic EarthCentric integration An omnipotently and omnipresently complex neuro/ecosystemic win/win contentment and yet often feeling win/lose transitionally chaotic contentious An overwhelmingly monolithic "weedpatch" of despair further polarizing any active hope of middle-ground integrity's AnthroMind/EarthBody repair. With healthy democracy tools for front lawn re-landscaping, monocultures begin to feel like painful resources, artifacts of pleasure passionate polyculturing Elders With trust and good-faith wellness co-governing more ecosystemically wealthy and neurosystemically healthy Anthro-crown/Earth-root therapeutic inter-religiously resonant and multiculturally resilient thriving love-life futures. What looked like monopolistic alien powers over little benign-ego me, begin to also feel like restoring peace opportunities with what remains from our former shared polypathic NeuroAnthroMind/EcoEarthBody co-empathic passion/pleasure mind/body therapeutic depolarizing co-identity ReWeaving promise, never beginning re-ligious omnipotence and ever ending dissociative omnipresence, timelessly wealthy front lawn win/lose "weedpatch" reseeding healthy win/win spaciousness. CoPassionate edible trust with ornamental beauty pleasure enlightening resilient climate Nature continuously co-arise old composted death into new life change, but these are transitions that have historically favored multiculturally democratic health and disfavored autocratic "weedpatch" pathology. All robustly polycultural landscapes lead to a more globally wealthy Home, but AnthroPrivileged LeftBrain liberating verbal intelligence chooses which directions to healthy-democracy walk and which to unsafe-autocracy avoid and when it's time to win/lose contentiously pick up and to win/win contentedly slow down our WholeEarth peace-making pace Calmly anticipating leaving no anthropocentric weedpatch behind monotheistically uncared for and panentheistically neglected.
