Romeo and Juliet: the Remix

Three voices required,
Professor,
and two students:
Yang as Fr. Time
YinYin as Sr. Gaia

In a college classroom with Win-Win Game Theory written on whiteboard.

Professor: 
Today we are going to role play 
a Win-Win enculturation game.

Natural and Social Communication Sciences 
define Enculturation as 
‘the combination of political and economic 
win/win relationships 
and resilient transactions
not chronically win/lose
much less critically lose/lose 
within a healthy communicating network 
of wealthy democratic choice-making.’

Lack of eco-political co-arising integrity 
generates systemic dissonance, 
suboptimized health outcomes, at best, 
in which positive communication is lost, 
putting win/win polycultural strategies 
at risk of turning win/lose.

Capitalist and Patriarchal
and MonoTheistic
0-sum competitive win/lose worldviews
of Natural/Social BiNomial Communication 
+(+1) Evolutionary/-(-0) Devolutionary Sciences
result in a suboptimized and, to that extent, 
polypathological -Win/-Win bipartisan miscommunication outcome
 
+win = -(-0) lose opportunities to do better, 
to do financial wealth 
and polycultural health.

Fr. Time: [In an appropriately low slow-sucking voice] 
I need to play Yang.

Sr. Gaia: [In a lovely resonant soprano] 
I want to play yang as also yintegrity.

Professor:
Good, good. OK.

So. let’s imagine that Yang, 
played by Fr. Time, 
is Romeo, 
and Yin, 
played by Sr. Gaia, 
is Juliet.

But, this is a Win/Win Game, 
so Juliet, of the Mythos family, 
chooses to stay planted on lovely Earth 
so maybe she’ll just Cinderella sleep 
on her decision about what to do with Romeo's death, 
and see what happens later in the Prince Charming 
Department of her mythic romantic life.

With Juliet in an apparent coma, 
Romeo, of the Logos family,
storms through life’s stage all blood and thunder.
 
He slowly wakes Mythos, 
and they compassion pleasure for themselves, 
each other, 
and all of Earth, 
and all of Earth’s Tribes, 
and all of the above live happily 
and healthily
and wealthily 
ever after.

[pause] Why is that not a more satisfying, 
healthier 
story for every time our political 
and economic outcomes
trend toward a despairing valley
disintegrative experience?

Fr. Time: [speaking as Romeo—2 packs a day, at least] 
I feel so used up. 
My health, vibrancy, robust vitality fades.

Sr. Gaia: (as dreaming Juliet) 
All your over-heated competitive passions for violent communication 
and colonization 
have left me sore! 
So good riddance, 
we are finding our MidWay, balancing your Logos natural family 
and my Mythos spirited re-memory

Fr. Time: 
Sometimes your Gaia Mythos Story 
is too passively tolerant of unease 
without my Logos family’s Golden Rule.

Sr. Gaia:
Yes, but only when Juliet dreams of lovely Romeo
as AnthroTime/EarthBody cooperatively play 
Win/Win Integrity

Do I feel dipolar co-alignment,
and Yintegrity can always play 
a metaphysical Mythos future re-becoming
and past tense logos been. 

Juliet isn't confined to real-time, 
but half past time and half future time, 
working her karmic grace to keep these two together.

Fr. Time:
Left alone, you cannot yet speak?

Gaia:
Yes, my Romeo, I need both our “Yes to Life” enculturations,
your politically powerful Logos of win/win family history,
and my economically abundant co-operative Mythos.

Our Midway.
Wu-wei.
Co-Tipping Point of perpetually balancing
Natural and Spiritual Communication
Indigenous Wisdom Sciences.

Fr. Time:
You always were the more strategic Win/Win cooperative player.

Sr. Gaia: 
Oh, Father, I bet you say that to all the girls, and boys,
but you and I both know and love
our co-arising HealthyEarth consciousness
of Win/Win polycultural communionation.

Professor:
OK. Very good. So first, Fr. Time and Sr. Gaia, 
how do you think that game was going? 
Any concerns or insights about Win/Lose suboptimization?

Sr. Gaia: 
It feels like Romeo is too Left-brain dominant, 
too competitive Logos default. 

I realize it’s Romeo’s role to carry the dense, 
warm, 
close,
dominant 
natural side of political qualities
and economic quantities,
that must continue to emerge
for Win/Win eternally resilient outcomes.

Yet, I am terrified of becoming too thin,
too cool and shy,
too absent,
too chaotically dispersed,
dissonant,
despairing,
suffering,
dead inside,
because I do so love this time 
as Juliet's dreams 
of Earth/s win/win resilience.

I hope we can grow more accustomed
to unearthing together, 
Logos with Mythos,
science with religion,
polycultural healing politics 
and weal-full economic procedures 
with therapeutic co-binary outcomes
in bicamerally balanced +1/-(-0) 
Natural/Spiritual panentheistic insight.

Fr. Time:
Wouldn’t know what to add to our full-octave throated soprano’s resonant ring 
folding and unfolding her permaculturally indigenous Wisdom,
and win/win culture,
and language of Romeo's verbal reactions for life
of sacred Gaia
loving Juliet's nonverbal reconsiderations against death
of MonoTheistic Time.
 
Professor:
I followed you right up to the last part. 
What is this patriarchal-capitalist Time 
of lose/lose death?

Fr. Time:
Like ‘Earth’ is an iconic noun for Yintegrity
in polycultural Logos
while ‘unearth’ is a Yang metaphysical verb.

If ‘UnEarth’ were used as a negative-polynomial noun,
then I guess that would be most everything we know nothing about
except perhaps through our imagined thinning Time,
cooling,
dispersing future waves of co-gravitational absorption
into Earth's great wheel 
of co-arising
Win/Win Being.

Professor:
Well, thank you Fr. Time and Sr. Gaia, Namaste.

So far, well done.

Let the Win/Win Game continue,
Time’s receding bilateral wave
greeted by Mythic 3-dimensional future-as-now space,
spinning our communication story 
of Logos time as Mythos space,
within each +1-dimensional Mythic NOW
notch in Time’s cooperative
-(-0) co-engaging
eco-political communion flow.
