Sacred Ecology

"...a network.., in the local [RightBrain] language, is called 'mandala'. I'm more [LeftBrain] comfortable with the word 'ecology,' but they're very closely overlapping ideas. At the root, is the notion that ideas [like energy and climates] are interdependent, interacting, that ideas [not unlike regenerative climates, organic nutritional processes like evolutions of Earth and Ego and Anthro Creation Stories] live and die. The ideas [with co-arising negative feelings of distrust as cognitive-affective dissonance] that die do so because they don't fit with the others. [Until they do; then they're called revolutionary.] So I thought I would try to unravel for you some of the ecology [climatology, cosmology], something of the position and nature of the [RightBrain] 'sacred' in the [LeftBrain] ecological system." Gregory Bateson, p. 265, Sacred Unity: Further steps to an ecology of mind. Ideas with feelings attached, like ecological subclimates, internal landscapes, health/pathology-delivering nutritional systems of ecopolitically effective/dissonant communication, and these Self+ElderOther enculturing strings of optimizing RNA/DNA can pathologically die because they do not fit confluently optimally with and for and of Earth and Her great transitioning Universe. While many teachers and prophets, writers and philosophers, scientists and community public/private ecopolitical health developers, have shown an articulate interest in the sacred mandala ecological climate of nature-spirit bicameral mind, (Jaynes, Bateson, Jung, R.D. Laing, Laotse, Bucky Fuller as Convex/Concave) most have examined economic cooperative minds without political bodies as stand alone elephants in a laboratory room, rather than a healthy eating and pooping economy herding with other likely mindbodies on and in Earth's multiculturally complex dialectal subclimates ranging from regeneratively nutritional through starving stagnant purgative drought.
