Premium Member The Dreaming Mind

("Dreaming Gaia", 2017, original encaustic)

The Dreaming Mind

Every night we all dream
Projecting the habits of a reifying mind
Onto the fabric of an energized neural net
Creating a world within a world
Just as amazing, just as solidly real.

And every day we perceive, sense objects and mental formulations
Projecting the habit of a reifying mind
Onto the fabric of an energized phenomenal world
Each creation the same
Habitual activity of a creative projecting mind.

Almost everyone acknowledges the creative projective
Habitual function of the night-dreaming mind
While few notice the very same mind 
Must be doing the very same thing
At all times: asleep or awake!

It’s easy to assign causal agency
To ourselves when we’re all alone
Harder when we are but a small part
Of a much greater whole, and yet,
The common denominator remains the dreaming mind.

Waking or sleeping
The dreaming mind incessantly does its thing
Dreaming of subjects experiencing objects
Dreaming of worlds within and out
Dreaming that its dreaming makes it separate from the dream.

Premium Member Irrepressible Fields of Thought

There is an irrepressible field of thought
We learn resiliently better
more profoundly together
than competitively 
and shallowly apart.

We feel better
in eco/ego-therapeutic teams
more than as isolated egocentric wanderers
more eccentric
than supported by nurturing environments 
ego/eco-centrically populated
with WinWin players.

EcoCentric thoughts
informing EgoHealthy beliefs,
feelings 
and resonant practice

praxis;

Ego-disciplines of WinWin TeamPlay
are nutritional regimes,
health frames,
wealthy multicultural dialectals

For ecological Left-YangStrength
and theo-sensory Right-YinFlow equivalence

Conversing within WiseElder freedoms
to playwork and roleplay
what SolarGod might say
about baking out inhumane pathologies
with His retributive
and unkindly blind
patriarchal justice.

While EarthSoul Gaia RightYin
holds matriotically up
her restorative eco/ego-justice Northern fractal face.

DNA staring wave-linear
ultra-violetly back
into WiseElder RNA octaves
of harmonic deep learning revolutionary health,
secularly resilient
and sacredly resonant,
and together curiously integrative sanity
yet something of a creolic stew.

Steaming streaming with integrity nutritional images
through this post-millennial healthy field of time,
of thought

We deep relearn
our Left-Right EarthSoul
Yang/Yin ecology best
as WiseElders
cooperatively North-Teamed
self with resonantly plotting others,
eco-therapeutic discoverers
of healthier ZeroZone landscapes

with LeftYang reiterating and evaluating
competing ZeroSum waste streams
and group string theories
of bilaterally explicitYang

There remains a resiliently resonant field
of Left with Right dipolar thought
We learn
economically and politically and psychologically better
cooperatively together
than too Yang-competitively apart.

Premium Member Welcome To 2120

The earth is revitalized and replenished by 2120.
Gardens of Eden are thriving in warm places.
Beaches are comfortably secluded and pretty.
Pollution and smog are misunderstood words.

After the giant cleanse of 2021, many humans died off.
Giving Gaia an opportunity to thrive once more.
The forests are taller, more wildlife and song birds.
The oceans are clean, filled with larger sea life.

The survivor’s grandchildren have no concept of stress.
Freeway driving is not terrible, for there are less cars.
Working from home is the norm through videoconferences.
All interviewing, weddings, funerals, and school sessions are online.

There is no eight-to-five job; jobs are ten to two, with an hour for lunch.
Research indicated this is much more productive.
The city parks are not crowded; there is no waiting for a swing.
There is always a place for you to go and play. 
Meditation is encouraged.

Premium Member EarthLove's Resilience

What cooperates internal resonance 
and external resilience?

Political trust
and economic acts
of love?

Firmness of trust
and love's cooperative force?

Why do we settle for ambiguously competing energies
when the democratic trust we seek together
might be more robustly loved 
as cooperative inter-religious synergy?

When did specialized researchers
settle for dissociated complexity
as our paradigmatic road toward comprehension
of our anthropologically wealthy selves?
out and in
of and for 
Earth's ecologically healthy 
organically loving 
polyculturally robust 
trust environment?

We both want and need better internal cooperative views
of recombining regenesis,
cognitive transliterations for/of intuitive transmutations

Not with freedom to become any dis-ecological
irreligious manscape at all

Not with Anthropocene nationalistic landscapes
of overpopulated rabidity
addicted to dominating anthropocentric competitions

Not with monotheistically justified insurrections
against panentheistic peace
 
Not desecrating nationalistic cancers 
overpowering otherwise cooperatively designing organic functions

All reconnecting within Earth's multiculturing 
polypathic love story
of metamorphic satyagraha

Trusting Lovelock's Gaia Hypothesis
reaffirming deeply religious pronoia truths 
of forcefully comprehensive
democratically inclusive
economic investment in trust 
empowering AnthroMind/EarthBody
cobinary co-arising love.

Not anthropocentrically exclusive
economically infested win/lose
distrust disempowering love's resistance
to rabidly paranoid unease.

Not all that organically complex
as heard and seen and smelled and tasted from inside
life's therapeutic opportunities for feeling health
and ecological trust
we can, together,
discontinue kleptocratic crimes
against Earth's wealthy satyagraha climate

ReLigiously recombining internal
0-soul trusting resonance
and external
1-zone Earth-loving resilience.

Premium Member City Scapes

Looking out my high-rise window
I can see shy Beauty
of civilly responsible
bird sheltering trees

Five of these
tunneling through man-made holes
in monotonously grey cement 
step aside walks.

Lonely in my city window
I can see the desecrating drama
and trauma
inflicted on Gaia's organic integrity

Toxic shelters
treacherous streets
polluting smokestacks

Oil and gas fueled
Made In America
uncivil lack of holy natural
safe shelter.

Longing in my caged window
I can hear sirens screaming
and a car alarm
warning us it feels threatened
by incorporated investments

In pain
dispassion
pollution
anthropocentric dissolution.

On less barren days
when looking out this same window
I feel freer to learn
from trauma's malformed mystery

Looking up
at Gaia's heavenly sky
less troubled by unearthly anthro-hubris
as compared to trans-continental
pocked landscapes.

I notice how I feel
when looking outside
at the boarded-up house
across the street

As compared to
the organically organized green park
behind it
filled with sacred sheltering trees

Now quieting Earth's suffering
by singing with Her
up-reaching crowns of rooted trees
dancing to a holy breeze.


Premium Member Tyrannosaurus Mantis

Gaia had deemed insects as king of beasts
After the last humans departed in spaceship 'Stephen Hawkings'.
'Planet Water' was in ruins, polluted, wrecked by
Runaway climate change and raging storms.

Ants has arisen as king and insect rulers
With superior organisation and pervasive presence
They evolved and grew as big as cattle
Subduing all other animals and beasts.

Yet, the terror of the Tyrannosaurus Mantis
Made all beasts tremble, when the quivering
Shadows of looming praying mantis spread over ground
Like that of Tyrannosaurus rex once terrorized past life.

Triangular head with huge bulging eyes, and vicious jaws
Could swivel around all angles, front, side and behind,
So nothing could escape its silent pervasion,
As it pranced, poised, stalked and postured on ground and in trees.

Huge forelegs, covered in spines, held coiled-up like arms in position of prayer,
Showed no mercy when they sprung out and grabbed innocent prey 
Dragging bodies back, twitching and writhing in recoiled spiny forearms 
To be munched alive in vicious sharp jaws, mounted acutely on triangular head.

Tyrannosaurus Mantis evolved with the ants to beasts as big as rhinos.
The ants as rulers, tried various ways to control them, kill them off for good.
But so far, no pathway to extinction for praying mantis had been found,
As some ancient god, mantis worshiped in prayer, seemed to protect them.

Premium Member Transcend

I hopelessly wandered in this lost valley of unseen beauty.
The wind whispered  warmly, flowing around, and it comforts me.
Begging me, as her clear water gently laps at my feet.
Rest, stay awhile, cry with me, as your painful journey of Love, recedes.
We feel your raw broken heart from your past.
We again cry with you, knowing it will never last.
Your broken heart will heal and mend, 
We left it alone, it will open to love again.

Our Mother is tenderly reaching out with her loving heart.
She whispers in my ear, let your fear depart.
Relax now, breathe deeply, search out your fear, she implores.
Why do you still hold on to this pain as she explores.
Please walk with me and take my hand and see what surrounds you.
My eyes begin to clear from tears I shed to witness this magical view.

I dropped to my knees gasping in awe to what is before me.
A pure clear vision of Earth, all her light radiating into the land and sea.
Gaia turns to me saying “you are now seeing the real life in us”
“Your dear Heart will create a more beautiful presence so pure and Just.”
It happened in a blink of an eye as I release all fear from my spirit.
Knowing now that only love is the song of angels, can you hear it?

Egregious Evil Exceeds Means To Cope

bloodied fingers madly claw 
caskets hermetically sealed 
   bullet riddled bodies crazily didst draw
triggered bloodshed tsunami, 

   where logic insists there must be a flaw 
precious priceless proud loved ones demise 
   festers "stunned disbelief" to gnaw
perhaps shell shocked next of kin 

   utter primal wails resemble distorted hee haw
lifeless loved ones alive just moments ago, 
   these special darlings (dozen plus youth) 
   premature death deprived 

   never delight one or more in-law
whereat deceased brides and grooms 
   denied pledging troth 
   from permanently stilled jaw,

while bereaved 
   inconsolably cry deafeningly, drenching 
   cloths cupping raw cheeks, 
   a cruel prank sans burden thrust upon a maw
(whose womb once housed 
   forever lifeless son or daughter),
rigor mortis out buzzfeeds Stihl chain saw 

shrieking, how, 
   this "NON FAKE" living nightmare 
cast an excruciating pall,
   whence diabolic demons lear
into the opened seam, 

   where under a sheltering sky Gaia doth hear
the deafening lament against 
   a cool, calm and collected 
   frenzied maniac whose flare
ring nostrils adrip with rage 

   exchanged slugs of lead for dear
lee departed souls, 
   where dark clouds may never clear
as the living suffer horrendous psychic hemorrhage
   agonizingly bid their own 
   flesh and blood affixed atop a bier.

Bushmans Final Homecoming

the Nulla Nulla passed 
in a delicate arch
this was the final throw
no prey or hunters fate awaits 
at journeys end


end over end
as the battles before
or terrors that lay behind
fell away,
the Nulla Nulla
becomes one
with mother
again 


as this warrior is beaten
with the dust of time, 
and wearing 
his shroud of birth
tribute is paid and offered
in a thousand thanks to Gaia


as a billion 
points of sand
burn his feet
he relishes
his last walkabout,


merging into 
a shimmering mirage
within the dreamtime,
the serpent 
writhes in joyous welcome, 
at his homecoming
