Distinctions Without Difference

This sun-warmed March morning while slowly stretching in my sedate senior way, I wondered how I might blame myself for religious teachers forgetting most often that wealthy minds are also healthy bodies, living on and in healthy relationships and sacred communities reconnecting this organic Earth's potential integrity. Who could I blame for secular science and arts and health-nutrition teachers forgetting most often that healthy bodies are also polyculturally well-fed minds? Differences between brain and body are merely mindbody appositional distinctions. While I can cognitively discern distinction I cannot intuitively perceive difference between natural and spiritual physical and mental relationships . Isn't this a reverse corollary of survival of the physical fittest? Thrival of the naturally straight and white male strongest? Health of the most resonantly connected mindbodies is also survival of the least dissonant inside v outside, like inter-religious WesternYang-face with EasternYin-grace. Perhaps it would help if I stretch just a bit longer, if we could learn to panentheistically engage together, dipolar difference AND nondual co-arising distinctions Yang is with Yin as organic AnthroMind is within sacred EarthBody As Left-Dominant verbal distinctions warmly regard Right-Prominent nonverbally felt corporal/capital differences as Universal Salvation missions invite Unitarian CoRedemptive integrity As enlightening mental synergy feeds my empowering physical energy of and for all integrally spiritual religions reconnecting natural EarthTribes. My primal relationship impressions with dipolar co-arising distress triggers negative correlational tensions reconnecting appositional differences, where two LoseLose not-knots make one Winning balanced MidWay healthier rightbody feelings co-governing wealthier leftbrain thoughts. I doubt we could ever finish stretched spiritual discernments without losing our natural religioning distinctions this sun-warmed March morning while slowly sacred stretching in my sedate senior impressive way.
