Premium Member Unusual Nightmares

Life can be a different nightmare
when philo-sophias self-righteously
uprightly leave us behind
so long in search of success
measured in wealth of commodified acquisitions
rather than health of natural/spiritual capitalization
of virtuously co-managed left/right
co-balancing cooperative structures
for co-investing future resilience,

Like a thirsty hummingbird
living in a too-red environment,

Like dissonant notes
hiding in a too-rich symphony,

Community, communion investing in health
not as ordered by MotherEarth
as demonic TaskMaster of perpetual raw-spot punishment
in perpetually vicious win/lose competitions
against past and future disgraced generations,
rather than wealthy sacred interdependent venerations.

Philosophers and politicians
preachers and prophets
parents and their prey
might instead invest in Earth rights and lefts
as our dance and play Mother
embracing more cooperative win/win choreography,
ecological theologies of color
and scale,

More of a sweet spot multigenerational tango
searching out climatic self-governing unity
rather than a righteous raw spot monocultural war
of nightmartish lose/lose uniformity
unto climate collapsing apocalypse,

Mortality of life
giving way to ecocentric wise dancing regenerations
of local through global multicultural Earth,
enjoying nature more cooperatively-managed,
never competitively-owned in spiritualized theories
of universal Yang Domination
with too complexly uniform marching into fragmented war orders
over-ruling uniting invitations
into win/win multigenerational YinDance,

Now wiser about distinguishing
between individualistic capitalism,
supporting business as usual
monoculturally colonizing patriarchy

And Earth's cooperative capitalization,
actively inviting natural/spiritual
sweet spot win/win dialogue
more than raw spot,
Who is the biggest Loser of vanishing success?
academic debates

Confusing wealth requirements
with healthy response to 
What is winning?
Since before liberating philosophers
severed natural nutritional eco-healthy balance
from spiritually robust wealthy ego-investment.

Life in and on Earth's resonant ecosystems
can be a different nightmare
when philo-sophias self-righteously
upright leave us behind
so long in search 
of health's wealthiest eco-political success.


Where Dead Go

Although the place where the dead go is called the world beyond,
some say that it’s located underground while others say that it’s located in heaven above.

Since the world beyond is not the real world where you and I live,
it doesn’t make any difference whether you go to heaven above
or netherworld below

the majority of people, when their time comes, 
whether they lived their lives virtuously or not,
they want to go to heaven rather than the underworld.

Because the underworld is dark, chilly and damp, 
moreover, time doesn’t move forward but is still, 
people suppose; heaven is warm, bright and beautiful 
with seasonal changes in colorful sceneries.

The thing is, though may it be human nature to choose heaven, 
to me, rather hard to comprehend is the one who asserts
that they are the ones who will enter heaven wearing 
a garment smeared with covetousness and hide their deformed ugly heart in it.

Most men who allegedly say that they will go to heaven 
are those unable to see their own blemishes, no matter how big 
they may be, because they are so arrogant and self-centered.

Nevertheless, they spot other’s flaws so easily, no matter 
how small they may be, and scold them severely because 
they are self-righteous hypocrites. 
 
They donate a fraction of great sums that they collected from 
many tenderhearted good people in the name of God or of charity
and boast on themselves though they appropriate the rest of the large 
sum for their purposes, as if they sacrificed a lot of their possessions and precious time, as if they were the most caring and understanding human beings.

Though they ill-treated their own parents they shamelessly tell others 
to respect their parents, they are deceptive pretenders. They are men 
able to trade their own brothers for any price without the pangs of conscience though they once swore before God that they would be faithful to their brothers.

For those human trashes insist that heaven is theirs though 
the men who qualify to enter heaven humbly lower their head 
without a word, perhaps Peter the owner of the key to heaven,
is troubled badly with men’s ignominies; it would force dignified rigorous Yama*, 
the lord of hell, to smile a grim smile.

*Yama, the Chinese and Hindus King of Hell.  Hades of the Buddhism.

Premium Member Lord God, You Are My Service Commander

January 20 Relationship to God Bible Meditations Based on Exodus 8-10

Key Verse – Exodus 8:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY SERVICE COMMANDER
				
Lord God, You are my service Commander, 
stretching over me Your hand of authority
Thank You for bringing me to Your realm of submissive humility
I entreat that You take away my arrogance that makes me haughty…
Please forgive my selfishness and carnality.

Lord God, You are my service Commander, 
stirring me with Your finger of compassion
Thank You for building me up to rise above weak devotion
I know that You are omnipotent to break my rebellious reaction…
Please forgive my stubbornness and corruption.

Lord God, You are my service Commander, 
sacrificing for me by Your heart of lovingkindness
Thank You for binding me to Your gracious dealing against deceitfulness
I trust that You remain in Your caring faithfulness…
Please forgive my unbelief and doubtfulness.

Lord God, You are my service Commander, 
stabilizing me through Your mind of work-fulfillment
Thank You for beholding me to grow within Your designed development
I realize that You want the best for my heavenly achievement…
Please forgive my discontentment and lack of commitment.

Lord God, You are my service Commander, 
strengthening me along Your power of miraculous deed
Thank You for breaking me of my worldliness that leads toward vain greed
I understand that You must discipline me since such I need…
Please forgive my disobedience-creed and pride-breed.

Lord God, You are my service Commander, 
satisfying me by Your presence of divine signs
Thank You for blessing me when I follow Your truth, bright light that shines
I beseech that You transform me along faith which virtuously refines…
Please forgive my motives and desires outside Your standard lines.

Lord God, You are my service Commander, 
settling me toward Your throne of prayer responses
Thank You for blinding me against darkness of materialism’s curses
I find that You never leave me to be overtaken by evil practices…
Please forgive my clinging to and craving for worthless influences.

Premium Member From Now On

From now on, I depend on God* for my salvation
Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven’s mansion
He, thru His blood, paid for my redemption
As He reached down to me with His compassion.
Thus, I possess His eternal life geared for transformation!

From now on, I rely upon God for my growth’s progress
The Father feeds me with His provisions without stress
He leads me along His truth and righteousness’ fortress
As He nourishes me by His wondrous grace and divine caress.
Thus, I advance for His business, never His will to suppress!

From now on, I trust God for my pursuit toward holy living
The Lord cleanses my filthiness that makes my soul starving
He sanctifies me from my worldly, vain and carnal craving, 
As He assures me that my sins He is constantly forgiving.
Thus, I, for His name’s sake, keep on virtuously striving!

From now on, I lean on God for my stability
The Savior strengthens me by His tenacity
He assures me His presence amidst any calamity
As He upholds me whenever I’m into adversity.
Thus, I’m clinging to His unwavering capacity!

From now on, I cleave to God for my contentment
The Spirit fills me with peace and encouragement
He satisfies me by His Word’s empowerment  
As He secures me thru His perfect settlement.
Thus, I now rest in His promised victorious commitment!  

From now on, I obey God in my stewardship and service 
The Master called me to work in His great office
He guides me with wisdom that can biblically police
As He rewards my diligence with sacrifices’ pumice. 
Thus, I’m now enjoying my labor, moved by earnest practice!

From now on, I entrust to God my welfare and future 
The King fulfills His plan for me so I can virtuously mature 
He prepares me well for heaven’s glorious grandeur
As He excites me on what to happen during the rapture.
Thus, I now await His coming in my spiritual adventure! 

*Psalm 25:5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

My Beloved (Part Iii)

My attention is undivided as you dance for me the dance of 
Mahanaim with your beautiful sandaled feet.  Your graceful legs are the jewels of 
the Master Craftsman, which surround my waist, and your feet secure them.  So, 
we embrace and come together, for I belong to you, and I know your desire is for 
me.  Hold me close and caress me because the winter is past; the rain is over 
and gone.  The vines have budded and the blossoms have opened.  Everything 
is now ready, and our bed is new and lively.  It's undefiled.  It's spread abroad 
with silk and satin and is perfumed with aloes and cinnamon.  And in our bed is 
every delicacy that has been stored up, so let us solace ourselves with loves, 
and let us take our fill of desire until the morning.
	I have come into my garden; I have gathered myrrh with spice.  I have 
eaten my honeycomb and my honey.  I have drank my wine and my milk, which 
have come straight to me.  Flowing gently over my lips and teeth is the drink of 
your spiced wine, the nectar of your pomegranates- and I, too, shall always fill 
you with love.  You are priceless to me, and I trust you.  I will be good to you all of 
my days.  You are blessed.  You excel all others who think they have done 
virtuously.  Cradled beside me, you protect my heart, and I will praise you 
because you fear the Lord, but never be afraid- I will do for you all that you 
require.  I will be for you all that you need, and my banner over you is love.  
                    My queen, I am rich in you.  You send light into my life as fair as the 
moon, and clear as the sun, and majestic as the stars in procession- and I love 
you.  I love you for who you are.  I will always cherish and adore you.  I will live 
with you in understanding and compassion, and I will care for you, so be secure 
in me.  We are one; you are my only one, and I am yours.  This is the Lord's doing 
and it's marvelous in our eyes, so let us rejoice together in Him and celebrate 
our love.  Let us join together always and delight ourselves forever.

Thank You for extricating me from selfishness wondrously
So I can render my best to You willingly
While paying to You my vows humbly.

Lord God, You are my heart’s Praise, 
framing me well to be anchored by Your Word
Thank You for explaining to me the need to use the Spirit’s sword
So I can walk with You in joyful accord
While delighting myself in Your provisions’ ford.

Premium Member Raising Childfriendly Communities

When disuniting yang's admittedly subjective supremacy
debates against disforming yin's non-objective wimpiness,

Then yin with yang,
like right with left
ego/eco-covenanting crisis wanderers
sojourn between win/win and lose/lose anawim,
learning to speak against vulnerable emigrants
absorbing dualistic debates.

These two now mutual antagonists are most motivated
to leave their win/lose wilderness wanderings,
in urgent search here 
for a more secure dialogical sanctuary
away from emerging outside/inside climates
of increasingly rabid pathology.

Learning to ask stretching win/win cooperative left/right questions,
like how can we universally tolerate non-listening pathologies
without fragmenting our unitarian interdependent doxologies?

How can we exchange therapeutic questions
with universal integrity
for tolerating only nontoxic answers?
without some unitarian communal sanctuary
for deep learning more expansive not not tolerant
of active hope 
to sing and dance 
more globally together,

With no ego-adolescent inappropriate supremacists
left hopelessly
and passively behind
for right-wing monoculturing punishments
or insufficient left-wing lack of universally empathic love.

Is it possible to celebrate
a virtuously interdependent circle
only intolerant of unreflective win/lose tolerance
for received colonizing
and monoculturing v. multiculturing
dualistic Earth evolving views 
through either/or thinking and feeling?

Rather than securing a cooperatively held
inside/outside-justice climate space
for all bicameral both/and nondual dipolarities
appositionally tolerating paradox

Worthy of harmonic wu-wei
in-between tipping points
toward healthy with harmonic integrity
economies paid co-redemptively forward
in powered political relationships
of mutual forgiveness
for publicly implicit win/lose assumptions
deforming childhoods past.

Premium Member Therapeutic Tinted Thoughts

Therapeutic thoughts have feelings
of resonance and dissonance
as healing behaviors have internal beliefs
motivating
inspiring spirited resilience
and passions for love
surpassing anger,
compassion
conquering all dispassions,
positive attraction
reconnecting past negative distractions.

Feelings have internal colors
compassionate green health environments
and narcissistic snarky red hot interiors
and radiant blue light
and absorbing yellow warmth,
and many multiculturing other hues
and cries for resonant ultra-violet peace
with black and white and brown restoring justice
not so much grey-scaled punishments
for too liberally 
compassionately coloring outside 
proper eco-political WinLose lines,
social walls of propriety
against impropriety of full-scale wildly imaginative colors.

When I heard Caillou's white-speak mother
inform her son,
Red is the correct Valentine's color of love,
I knew this could not be my whole virtuous enculturing story
because red is also the color of bloody fraternity
and viciously escalating anger,

Healthy passioned red
or short-flaring diseased fear
of overpowering betrayal,
losing power to overcome
threats to green therapeutic self-portrayal,
regenerative esteem
virtuously red-blooded,

Surrounded and benignly invaded
by green nature,
yellow absorbing internal blue heedfulness,
caution,
discerning nurtured feelings
attributed by more dissonant color relationships
said and sung in virtuously harmonious major,
and viciously dissonant minor, keys,
round co-relational octaves of color 
revolving rhythmic qualities fueling flow,

Morally affluent yang prescriptions
with ethically effluent yin descriptors
of exterior green sanctuary natures
with interior red-blooded
DNA ultra-violet
communicating nonultra-violent
recycling nurture wheels 
of resiliently felt therapeutic thoughts.

Premium Member Orthodoxy v Orthopraxis

Yogi Berra said:
In theory there is no difference from practice.
In practice, there is

Applying this to communication theory:
In nonviolence theory
there is no difference from practice
of win/win compassion.
Yet, in Business as Win/Lose Usual
Patriarchal political monoculturing practice
and Capital monopolistic economic intent
there are no virtues calculated for compassionate communication,
for merciful bipartisan political views,
and co-redemptive forgiveness
for matricidal sins 
of our StraightWhite Patriarchs

Ignorant about healthy polycultural,
resilient,
therapeutic, 
synergetic relationships
in response to systemic trauma.

Nonviolent communication orthodoxy
enlightens every thing
but nothing merely pleasant prevails.
Compassion's transparent and vulnerable win/win practice
unveils every healthy peak relationship
becoming crown/root 
mind/body
co-empowered
but no one self-contained person 
knows why silent wisdom
feels more comprehensive
than voiced knowledge
as verb action choices
feel more committed
than nouned voices
of love.

In our Earth-Healing lab,
nonviolent verbal theory
and compassionate nonverbal practice
are bicamerally combined:
nothing win/lose prevails
and every resilient relationship
co-passionately feels why
not 1 AND not 0 theoretical 
universal convex AND unitarian concave
bilateral communication assumptions
do not not positively comply
with Earth's Whole Open EcoSystemic
virtuously therapeutic multicultural practice
of avoiding viciously competitive 
1-DominantYang v 0-RecessiveYin
colonizing practices
for lack of sufficiently inclusive
warm and boundless
peak passion/pleasure gratitude

Positive fore-given-nest 
EarthTribal
renouned verb-alive-able 
1/0 co-empathic ecstatic 
win/win polypathic attitude.
