Premium Member A Tipping Balance


Listless life entangled in the cobweb of frustration
looks for the escaping pathway of dissociation.
Time for me to listen to the earnest call from within,
the enticing echo of music from the soul’s concert.

I reform the constitution of the mangled mind,
let the strained strings of sensual duress unwind,
discover the covert cavern someone makes for me
within the abode of hope, so long out of sight.

When I’m lost in the tortuous labyrinth of living, 
search the senile senses for the escape route, 
but find the exit door closed, letting me perceive
the released hidden power, tipping the balance.    

I follow the invisible trail of unswerving faith,
feel the fostering resurgence of reassuring fortitude,
for at the end of the tormenting tunnel 
I see the light of self-determination finally appear. 

I’m suffused with the heavenly hues of godly grace 
that inspires the Phoenix concealed within me
to rise from the destressing dust of self-defeat
at the divine dawn of reflective renascence.

If you have some negative judgment
aimed directly at me,
I prefer,
in fact require,
expect,
demand you verbally
and directly confront me
and only me
with that distancing blame,
assaulting my ignorance
and failures of compassion,
too active dispassion,
furthering Earth's emerging win/lose dissonance,
violence,
toxic climates
and egocentric narcissism;

Or, informed more fully by nonviolent communication

I am feeling sad,
disappointed in our relationship,
shut down,
angry
because I want our mutual compassion,
my vulnerability to you,
and yours to me,
our cooperatively-held trust,
to invite your directly communicated curiosity,
your hypothetical questions,
your transparency
honesty
integrity
when you observe some message from me
that feels like it carries negative energy,
lack of compassion,
too assertive
past a tipping point of aggression,
a potential trigger for past win/lose stress,
traumatic experience,
miseries of unfortunate events,
dissociation,
cognitive/affective dissonance,
the momentary despair
of not being fully listened to
with compassionate appreciation,
as we each deserve
within this interdependent web 
of win/win polypathic
polyphonic
polyculturing 
ego/eco-political life.

Dissociative Identity Disorder took care of that

A little girl lay still
Quietly in her bed
Fighting the screams
That roared inside her head

Hiding the fear within
Eyes sealed shut 
Breath contained
Too scared to move

She can longer stay
Too distressed
Her little brain floats away
Splitting itself
Forming new selves to take the pain
Anything to survive
This torturous hell

It's happening to another now
She's safe
Her psyche remains intact
Shielded from the events
Amnesia has taken care of that

When she returns
No longer aware
She continues on
As if nothing had ever happened
Totally oblivious to her own life events
We can thank Dissociative Identity Disorder for that.

I hear things right side down
and bottom left side up
as I get older
so consider the source.

Anyway,
I hear Colchester Connecticut Democrats,
and some cross-registering Republicans,
want to establish
a multicultural health commission
concerned about military
and local police mercenaries
feeling discriminated against,
picked on,
unloved,
left out,
under-valued,
ignored,
neglected,
abused,
shot at.

T Rocko is concerned
such a vast investment
in multicultural respect,
solidarity of resonance,
integrity of long-term resiience
through commitment to public dialogue
rather than contentious debate,
could only be justified
with quantitative data

Adding up how much
anti-militarism
and anti-police brutality prejudice
exists
and costs 
in Colchester.

In this political
and economic moment
of social cooperative distancing,
dissociation,
scape-goating,
rabid polarization,
toxic partisanship

We need a baseline,
says he,
of mutual disregard,
to measure regenerative progress
and/or degenerative retrenchment
from community integral investments
in health remediation,
inclusive wealth
for future cooperative governing generations.

"Silence to me
says it exists"
retorts our First SelectWoman

Rudko,
self-appointed sole guardian
of our public health investment purse,
responds,

Supporters of Armed Lives Matter Most
are "making a generalization...
not based on facts"
that silence means discontent,
speaks echo-chamberly
of feeling an unhealthy
lack of mutually fulfilling safety

Too risky
for speaking up transparently
to listen vulnerably
to all cooperative opportunity "Other"
and "Alien"
and "Immigrant"

And silently listening especially 
for Not Straight Male Dominant
voices,
whispered narratives
about aggressive predation stories
of relentless win/lose debate
rather than cooperative win/win dialogue
with pro-social attachment,
multiculturally nonsupremacist intelligence.

Premium Member Mythic Muse Mindfulness

I know the difference
between cooperatively intended sympathy
and solidarity of empathy
more easily articulated
by identifying sympathy's antithesis
as dissociation.

Sympathetic feelings
may be captured by:

Twinkle twinkle 
little star
how I wonder what you are
from afar

As co-empathic compassion by:

Twinkle twinkle
big bright star
now I see just who we are,
new enlightening depths
mutually ajar.

Like the difference
between ***********
and regenerative
sexual ecology,

Asking for a thesaurus 
for synonym wealthy choices
does not help
if my standard of healthy success
hopes to spin and weave
a co-arising dipolar chorus

Lyricizing analogies between theoretical God 
and experiential Love
inviting our polyphonic 
evolving metaphoric
spirit sympathetic
for EarthTribe's polypathic 
healing reeling 
revolving metamorphic
wealthy rocking
nature co-empathetic

Enough to know the difference
between cooperatively intended sympathy
and solidarity of empathy
more fluidly articulate
separating sympathy's antithesis
as silent
and neglected disassociations.


Premium Member Spiral Climate Health Dynamics

Beck and Cowan, with Graves,
wrote the Spiral Dynamics of memes,
or cognitive-affective enculturation climates
of Left-Right as Yang-Yin spiraling equivalence,
or maybe not,
I'm still not quite sure
how much I am seeing and hearing into their words.

For example, from page 56,
I was going through their evolving octave of historical colors
of humane-divine time,
beginning with
"Beige-a state of nature"
"Purple-[spiritually dynamic] mysterious [sometimes enlightening] and frightening"
"Red-[LeftYang dominant] tough and dangerous like a [WinLose evolutionary] survivalist jungle"
"Blue-directed by a higher [prosperously regenerative v impoverished degenerative, monotheistic] power"
"Orange-full of viable [optimally WinWin cooperative-integrative polyculturing, inter-religioning] alternatives"
"Green- shared [EarthComPassionate] habit[at] of all humanity [ego-mind-spirit within, as all of EarthTribe's eco-body-nature without]"
"Yellow-at risk of chaotic [Anthropocene] collapse [into further LeftBrain/RightWing monocultural/monotheistic violent dissociation from indigenous AnthroSpirit/EarthNature health/wealth nondualistic wisdom]"
"Turquoise- a single living [panentheistic EarthGaia sacred/organic +1/-(-0) ego/ecosystemic cobinary copassionate-mind/co-pleasuring-body ] entity"

A win/win opportunity for complex multicultural
ecopolitical
ecological
cooperative
systemic peace development

where 'yellow' paranoid yin-repressed RightBrain depressives
"learn how to be [systemic trauma] free
but also [regenerative-health] principled
seek[ing] the [bicameral turquoise Tao] order
beneath [and deeply within, and above, both out and in, midway,
inbetween, wu wei] Earth's apparent [cosmological dualdark notnot LoseAnthroMind/LoseEarthBody] chaos.

Maybe win/win endorphins
produce inspiraling polyphonic color strings

emerging Ego/Eco nurturing

Premium Member Green Peace Resonance

At first we had traumatic stress
just being born
and later shock of near death,
physical and mental,
natural and spiritual,
lack of health 
and unsafe, messy wealth.

Then traumatic cultural stresses
grew up into a global syndrome
of sad neglect
toxic fueling chronic depression,
multicultural repression
caste suppression,
cognitive and affective
double-binding dissonant
multigenerational dissociation.

Then post-traumatic historic stress syndrome
swept up panic attacks,
disabling shell shock,
invasive violent cultural shlock,
long-term victimization locks,
criminalization ad hoc
legislated abominations,
violent domestic and national monoculturing schools
of semi-thought through 
flowing pure and healthy imaginations
creeping toward chronic creepy anxiety,
lose/lose de-nihilistic codependency,
mutually assured destruction
in bloodless
micro-annihilating pools.

Now we have pre-traumatic herstoric stress syndrome
for ever more biocultural pathology
in internal
and external climates,
venues,
lyrics and lessons,
narratives of unraveling devolutions
inevitably heavy self-implicating 
stiff-necked stubborn scales

In-between disempowering monoculturalism
monopolistic monotheism
ego-privileged anthro-supremacism,
economic ecological lack of co-invested empathy,

And enlightened EarthPatriotic resonance
anxiously anticipating
polycultural revolutions
sustaining robust health care
ecosystemic wealth.

Why does it matter
if we sing or dance or call
"Make American Trauma Again"
pre- and post-suffering
the greatest response of all?

Isn't trauma of unrelenting win/lose competitions,
of StraightWhiteMale aggressive monoculturalism,
mono-egotheism,
monopolistic theology,
a culturally devolving climate trend?

Inside and outside,
before and after traumatic birth
and death of isolated individuals
swimming in a hegemonic 
demonizing atmosphere
of win/lose capitalist self-defeating wounds
at risk of overwhelming all empowering lovely acts
and pre-post-enlightened passionate hearts

For resilient
ecotherapeutic stories
of positive
multiculturally cooperative
green peace 
health care wealthy resonance.

A Haunting

You start your day before rays hit earth, 
Oh darling, did you catch all your worms?
Rushing through figures like bees in a prairie,
Did you manage to fly above?
You sit at your desk and take a breath,
Either you’re punctual or you’re dead. 
One task after another, when did time pass by?
To-do lists occupy your mind.

Have you eaten? Oh, dear you haven’t!
C’mon you gotta fuel your body lil guy.
With a sigh you push yourself up, 
The noise of cracking bone surrounds.
Birds of a feather, eat together,
Beings that preach live love and laugh,
You think about the life you’re living now,
A race you have to run, with or without you will;
At least you can’t lose where you’re the only contender.

Dissociation is a tactic to wonder,
You realise when your buddy snaps you out.
Pack your back and go home, it’s late;
Let’s walk home together you say,
It has been a good day mate, 
No coffee spilled on your trouser.
Chuckles leave your mouth as you grin, 
You nudge their shoulder and walk away.

A place called home finds your sight, 
Must feel great to be inside,
Healthy, happy and moisturised;
On your bed with closed doors and nightlights,
Maybe you’ve already reached the land of dreams;
I have an inkling I’m wrong about you, unlike they say, 
As I heard your muffles the other night.
All I could do was stand surprised,
For you has just smiled, gleefully recalling your day,
You say you flow like water and fit like a glove, 
But when the moon comes up, what haunts you my love?

Yours poetically, 
v.s

Premium Member An Invitation To Earthhealth

Again, with Adam Robersmith,
Taking It Further emphasizing cooperative value choices
in each compassionate win/win moment
of sacred economic/ecological dialogue,
covenants of non-violent respect for multigenerational 
healthy 
wealthy
robust
resonant
resilient outcomes.

What compassionately discerning choices
can we make today
tonight
tomorrow
the next day
next week
next month
next season
next year of seasons
for restoring environmental
and cooperative economic
and multiculturally healing justice?

Rather than punishing ourselves
and others
for violent win/lose past
privileged injustice
rooted in fear
anger
suffering
loss
dissociation,
climates of internal monoculturing ego-anxiety.

In sacred covenants we have already engaged,
what healthy choices for extended family resilience
do we already support
with win/win cooperative environmental gratitude
and multiculturally interdependent
win/win
health/wealth,
bicameral
bilateral
binomial left/right 
20/20 empowering EarthJustice?

Let us refuse to remain stuck
in Ego-LeftBrain v. Eco-RightBrain fear
climate anxiety
cognitive/affective dissonance,
systemic dispassionate despair,

Instead choosing one universal 
regeneratively catholic win/win
health faithful multi-regenerational action
in every compassionate moment.

Let us remember 
our Universalist/Catholic 
Earth-multicultural heritage
and engage inherited BiLaudato Si wisdom,
On BiCameral Care for Our Common Creation,

To chart restoring a just,
globally holy holonic,
and sacredly resilient path
compassionately communioned forward

With other Thames River Valley goodfaith communities

elite and non-elite

To invite this day's cooperative stewardship

and Health
and Energy
and All Sainted Souls
democratic EarthTrust.

Through this Mountain of PeaceSpace
flows a 20/20 BiCameral River 
of polypathic healing EarthTime,
Here as also Now,
Safe as also Sufficient,
Peace as also JustUs,
NonViolence as also Earth's ComPassion.

You Are a Lioness

This is 
your  unique constitution

In  sensual moonlight
you are a lioness
focused on
the perpendicular purpose

Invariably
the current
in a torrent
hits the shores
with a thud

eccentric electrons
in the blood
for the
honey sweet slices
of dewy dissociation
into golden nothingness

A silken existence

The poetry echoes
in  the underground abode
of dream


Jasmines of  hope
with the bunch of echoes

 Mellowing  moons
