Dubious Differences

What is the difference between a Rescuer and a Facilitator? A codependent and a resilient health-enabler? Why? If we insist we must have at least one, What is a difference between a pan-sectarian Messiah/Bodhisattva, a co-inviter into health-fertile mutual service And, a compassioned co-facilitator, an eco/ego-therapist, An Other/Self-cooperative healer? As for the first, I look for a distinction, unconscious or not, between LeftEgo's self-dominant intent for internal wealth-serving service, growing more fame and less infamy, more adoration and less apathy, self-rescuing from an anonymous pit of unprominent history; On the other hand, the Facilitator is an equal opportunity rescuer for both Ego and Ego's healthy EcoHabitat, including planet, animals and plants and people, foreign forests and HereNow complex technocratic cities, far away deserts and internal oceans of motion, former golden days and still perpetual nights, past nutrition and future health, ancient tribes and future families. As for differences between sacred CoMessiahs and eco-over-ego secular therapists, perhaps the difference between an integral spirit of abundant faith and a robust soul for healthy and humble HereNow agnosticism, like John Rawls' vulnerable veil of self/other unknowing, perhaps this is one of those distinctions between metaphysical identities without a RealTime physical nature difference, The dubious difference between non-violent sacred communication and enthymematic, nondual-WinWin, secular co-passionate discernment, between LeftBrain active hope for future cooperative healthy-wealth understanding, and RightBrain historical faith in ancient wealthy-health tribal experience DNA's secular/sacred nonsectarian history of rescuing ourselves from dubious dead-end unhealthy differences. What's the difference between what's metaphysically uplifting and what's physically integral, interdependent, synergetic? Maybe both are heavier and one promises to co-arise lighter?
