Premium Member Positives and Negatives

Positives and negatives
Are said to be attracted,
According to our knowledge...
Thus how I may feel
May be haunted by darkness
Or enlightened by happiness.

With every joy,
There is a piece of misery
That comes to toy with my emotions.
My thoughts as vast as the ocean
Are likely to to go through storms
Of winds and waves.

Breezes part of logic
And waves as flowing as feelings,
As I fish for gladness,
I soon reel in powerful thoughts of sadness.
I beg not to die in an ocean of such thoughts.

So then I am set free,
Due to reassurance,
Even though everything positive
That happens to me
Comes with a negative
I shall eventually be saved.


Premium Member BUTTERFLY TEACHERS

I was out in Deborah’s garden the other day when what should catch my eye
flitting from flower to flower but a monarch butterfly.

A walk through Deborah’s flower garden is brimming with surprises…
Like when that monarch was joined by other butterflies of all colors, shapes and sizes.

Nature is always trying to teach us…for she is experienced, enlightened and wise….
and her most basic lessons are being taught to us…by her butterflies.

Like how nothing is ever permanent…no matter in what stage we’d like to stay
We…and everything around us…all change a little every day.

Like how knowing all life is fragile…once our delicate wings have finally unfurled
we should treat everything with gentleness as we add our beauty to the world.

Like how all butterflies share the flowers…no butterfly is rich…no butterfly is poor…
Like how you never see a butterfly carrying a weapon…or marching off to war.

The average butterfly lives only two weeks…they have only two weeks to try and reach us
which means they cram a lot of material in the lessons they try to teach us.

Nature knows we are not fast learners however…so she has found a way
to keep a kaleidoscope of butterfly teachers constantly coming our way.

I hope one day we will have learned their lessons…
that we too will be experienced enlightened and wise….
It’s a dream that I’ll keep dreaming…
as long as there are butterflies.

Premium Member To Err Is Human

To err is human,
to forgive, divine.

Humanity is made in errored God's image
is made in forgiving humanity
hanging on the cancerous family Tree
of survival consciousness
and dying sentience.

What human nature ambidextrously
and nondualistically 
and paradoxically means
by becoming more divine

As we remake
reform
re-give us permission
to be sacred
and yet not perfectly empowered communicators,
verbally vulnerable
and non-verbally transparent

When we acknowledge
our ego identity suppresses eco-fertility
confined to our own mortally errored
less than fully divine soulful image
of omni-empowered sentience
and enlightened multigenerational consciousness.

A human soul is made in God's imagelessness
as God reconnects
religions
revives
and reforms my 0-Soul
in imperfectly individuated
humanely communitarian identity.

Organic beings are made
from sentient EarthMother's interwoven
co-empathic
primal relationships

Gaian God is pre-conscious
in anthropocentric images
of regenerative humane co-acclimation,
polycultural yang/yin 
win/win 
ethotically self-consciousness
and erotically other-sentient 

Creolizing cultural realization
of historically democratizing
non-violently communicating
transforming transubstantiation

Returning humane communion error
into divine self-forgiveness
for egos made in Gaia's co-acclimating image

As Gaian win+win health empowerment
becomes remade
through rehumanizing
sentient EarthBodhisattva's 
wealthiest 0-zen imagery.

When we 
together 
worry we
(not they)
don't have enough time
to recreate a healthier happier wealthier climate

this is Left/Right balancing time
to notice and recalibrate

to adjust our LeftBrain dominance
from anthropocentric shortage

feel our time lies too still,
too boring,

for permaculturing cooperative opportunities

Earth's dialectically climatic enculturations

Avoiding systemic trauma's self-alienating 
and original sin's ego-monoculturing

empowering and enlightened politics

enticing deeply rich socio-therapeutic opportunities
for less vicarious fear of risk to self-esteem

more freedom to actively perform self and other
bilateral entertainments,
re-engaging cobinary cooperative gift-it-forward miracles

reweaving EarthBound pains and longings,
promoting future health 
abundant gains and belongings

by learning from past pathologically dissonant angers,
fears dulling into boring passive monotheistic 
patriarchal paranoias,
chronically dissonant distances from

of panentheistic 
Gaia Hypothesis 
matriarchal pronoia

promulgating peak experiences
of long-suffering belonging bliss.

Premium Member Saving Face Campaign

Nonviolent designers 
of Public Service Announcements

Like "STOP"
smoking
shooting up
drinking
trashing
burning
ignoring various morbid diseases
sinning
sundry mental/spiritual pathologies
unsafe behavior

And feeling ugly
smelling
bad sexing
eating crap
unsafe touching

Undeclaring vengeful killing wars
Straight White Male supremacy
ecofeminist confused agendas
greens
reds
whites
blues
browns
blacks

Lust
rust
greed
going to seed

All these STOP campaigns
seem to miss my pointed
loser experience
that aiming for what makes me right now happy
is, perhaps, a long-term disgrace

So, what I aim for
instead
is whatever lies
and hiddenness,
safe camouflage
behind
and beneath respectful society's
muttered under sour breath
"good riddance"ness,

I aim for saving face.

You can campaign
all commercial day
and consummating night
to persuade me that my health
is also our happy
absence of communal fright
and resonant,
perhaps even resilient,
brilliantly enlightened
and empowering wealth.

But,
in my heart
of hurt
addiction
depression
anxiety
remorse for an angry life
at least half dead
from fear
you may uncover me
in ways I can't pretend
to self-righteously defend

I need some campaign
even larger than anti-addiction
to thinking either bliss
or blues,

Win/lose
Earth's evolving 
devolving runaway mission,
money exchanging zero-sum transmission,
inside a nonzero multiplying transmission
system

Not for peace,
or win/win health 
is also wealth,
or whimsically precarious
happy nest
unrest;
not sure I tried
my best.

I want to join 
Earth's Great Return
for self-regenerating
revolving annual campaigns
springing climate forth
summer's healthy maturation
falling harvest wisdom
wintering indigenous
sacred
nurtured meaning,

Theological enlightenment 
ecologically empowering
in-between
co-arising Yang SunGod
and Yintegral
Matriarchal Earth

Tribes consuming public campaigns
green co-passionate
communion
saving Earth's most happy 
sacred face,
warm embrace,
holistic place
divinely humane race
toward peaceful space
and pace.

Premium Member In His Will

In his teaching I am shown right from wrong
And aim to be wise as the days grow long
Out of the dark with opened eyes that see
An enlightened life ahead waits for me

A heart that’s full of loving compassion
Embrace all his creatures with a passion 
Through his love I hope to be more grateful
Stay true to myself and be more faithful 

To be alert and listen to his call
Loving hands awaits me if I should fall
Longing to be one with all true desire
Flame inside me will glow as if on fire

In his will the quest is there to achieve
Loving blessings, grace, given to receive
As I journey on the path hand in hand
Alone shall I never be left to stand

Diligently I shall seek with devotion
To finally be a drop in the ocean

Premium Member Love Is

Love is
Love is lovely as apple trees
Wafting blossom upon the breeze
It's a wonderful melody
Sweet as tweets birds sing merrily.

Love has the allure of a rose
Charming, as the enlightened knows
Unfurling from bud to full grown 
Seeds of love successfully sown.  

Love puts sun into hearts to shine
Rainbows grace the sky as a sign
That love was surely meant to be
Jovial as a chickadee.

Love's alike pattering raindrops
Music through years that never stops
A refreshing gentle refrain
That’s sweeter than any champagne.

Love of the loved is heaven blessed
The greatest gift ever possessed 
Love is on which one’s future’s based
Embrace love, it transpires cross-shaped.

Premium Member Make the Mind a Sea

Make the mind a sea
And see :
How its surface tosses in suffering
And the tormented waters dive deep
Searching intensely a place to rest in peace.

Make the mind a sea
And see :
How life crumbles into shards of dark doubts
Piling up in sinking meaningless heaps 
Looking desperately for a boat to float in hope.

Make the mind a sea
And see :
How the mind in the core becomes calm and cool,
Becomes the dense silence of the deep sea
And rests in the tranquil fold of the universal soul.

Make the mind a sea
And see :
How the enlightened life pulsating in rhythm
With the rolling waves of the open sea
Joins the cosmic dance of joy in ecstasy.

Make the mind a sea
And see :
How it becomes free.

Premium Member On Paying Alms to Ceasar

When Jesus was asked about whether or not it is healthy and safe for the colonized Jewish people to pay taxes to kleptocratic Ceasar, he said to give back to Ceasar what is his.

What is his,
to serve WeSacredPeople 
mind/body health 
and environmental safety?

Christ's implied church v state reverse corrollary:
Do not give Ceasar what is not his,
to disempower mind/body health
and panentheistically wealthy 
polyculturing Earth safety.

So what would happen if the international religious sector
offered tax sanctuary for all their extended family members?
friends,
allies,
cooperative and family businesses,
co-invested partners,
work and play associates

To be held by the nearest neurosystemic 
trauma-informed
GreenState compassionate communication
win/win sanctuary government

Tax sanctuary funds re-invested to restore peace
in our ongoing ecosystemic struggle
against feeding further AnthroSupremacist colonization
by anti-health and unsafe wealth 
kleptocratic regimes
 
Openly warring against
First Amendment religion and liberating voice protected
freedom to practice panentheistic communion
and multiculturally healing communication
empowering Earth's climate health Sanctuary 
re-connecting
re-ligioning
re-weaving
creolizing co-investments 

Regenerating Left/Right bi-partisan 
dipolar co-gravitating wealth of resonance

Resilient mind-liberating

re-engaging inter-religious consensus
YangMind enlightened

Compassionate as bodhisattva MotherTrees;
wealth wise as messianic serpents.
