Cain and Abel
The story of Cain and Abel
is also a history of Yang and Yin
when pitted against each other
rather than regeneratively struggling with creative tensions.
Cain was a hunter,
a predator
killing other blooded species
for nutritional purposes,
competing against other self-defensive creatures.
Abel was a gatherer,
a farmer
nurturing facilitation of multi-generational non-blooded species
also for nutritional purposes,
cooperating with other defenseless creations
other than a few thorny challenges
to Abel's happier WinWin harvest,
unmarked by gore and heart-stopping death.
God loved both
just as they were.
But Cain,
always hunting in a presumed WinLose competitive forest
against other food-chain species,
became concerned that God loved Abel more,
then jealous,
then angry and impatient with feelings of inferiority,
inadequacy,
somehow diseased in projected sacred eyes
for harvesting as was his preference.
Not really Cain's choice;
just his patriarchal Yangish way,
in contrast to Abel's more matriarchal Yin-nurturing way
to worship and digest God's grace
of health nurturing wealth,
nutritional promise.
It was easier for Abel to see
that God blessed both patriarchal hunters
and matriarchal gatherers
to cooperate together
for mutual nutritional purposes,
and healthiest outcomes.
Abel was able to recognize
Yang's dipolar co-arising value with Yin,
predation and integration,
competition within a cooperatively democratic household
of co-redeeming economies.
Cain's jealousy crisis
grew into malignantly chronic despair,
until what was not of patriarchal competitions
he treated as matriarchal waste
of God's wiser Yangish potential,
thereby creating God in Cain's own image
rather than God's hybrid nondual potential,
loving both Yang and Yin together
nondually co-arising cooperativity.
So, Cain laid Abel to waste,
he drained Yin's nurturing blood,
creating dissonance and dismay and death
where YangLeft and YinRight
were meant to competitively cooperate
their mutually controlling nurture
abundantly regenerate
together.
Yet matriarchal nurture
of cooperative WinWin self-organizing,
internally reorganizing,
political systems and economic networks
are not mere waste of failed patriarchal competing
unto monocultural degenerate despeciating outcomes.
Unless we both Left and RightBrain choose
to see our bilateral selves
that bipolar competitive
and insane
way.
