Indigenous Wisdom

Back in the day, before right hand leftbrain dominance became our mean girl weaponized thing Our bilaterally balanced grandmothers, whether Eastern Taoists or Western Animists (and almost certainly both) did not think to separate Left from Right, mind from body, passion from pleasure, if only because our peak experiences are more co-passionately resonant than mind v body dissonant, unhealthy spirit v nature dissociative. Our great-grandmother MindBodies could feel and touch, smell and taste, hear and see sacred ecology long before patriarchal SunGod priests started assuming monotheistic anthrosupremacy While their grandmother partners remembered more unitarian synergetic experiments arousing healthy passion values rooted in cooperative win/win nondualistic pleasure. To this day, when we sing and dance mind/body co-embedded, preverbal indigenous wisdom looks through capital-crown chakra passions and feels through pelvic-root chakra pleasures Centered, neurosystemically emerging up and branching out from souls of bilateral feet, crown/root holistic open-heart wu-wei engaged muse motion depolarizing emotions anticipating passionate in/ex-haled pleasure. This looks and feels quite different than the monotheistic priest invoking his LeftBrain dominant chant through his crown chakra filled with orthodox information coming off the black and white written notation page Read through eyes to be translated by his throat, supported by his anthroprivileged abdomen to produce correctly transcribed sounds emerging out of his well-capitalized mouth Correct words rhythm beat rests pitch premeditated intervals Desecrated male bodies, half-living in LeftBrain dominant minds, reflect west European verbal expression from the neck up, with support from the heart chakra core to orchestrate correct instrumentation While indigenous RightBrain mindbodies muse full-souled engagement anticipating peak compassion pleasures reflecting UniversalMind and UnitarianBody Yang/Yintegral embodied head dancer and groin dance resonantly and resiliently orchestrating and co-mediating passion and pleasure co-climaxing indigenous engagement.
