This piece re-ties together (re-ligions, as a verb of positive faith-fulfilling practice) Jungian "animus" masculine-empowering energy of the LeftBrain dominant Taoist Sage, struggling to survive in a win/lose 0-sum anthrosupremacist monoculture, and his matriarchal Muse co-binary counterpart, "anima". S/he sheds therapeutically enlightening win/win synergy of the RightBrain intuitively healthy compassionate grace-filled SageMind and wealthy win/win peace-full MuseBody

The AnimaMuse, like our Right Hemisphere intuitively felt co-empathic intelligence, has no linguistic skills. S/he sings and dances in inclusive circles while the AnimusSage speaks and acts with religiously (integrally) authentic therapeutic win/win liberating orthopraxis and/or irreligiously dissociative win/lose trauma-perpetuating, monoculturally unwise marching in militarized might-makes-rigfhtwing monotheistic-anthrosupremacist ecocidal/egocidal patricidal v matricidal, SageTalk v MuseWalk nonsystemic lose/lose despair, inauthentic, irreligious, disintegrating, dissonant, discommunicating, uncooperative, mutually disinvested, double-binary damned if I do end this anguish and damned if I don't unresolvable, inter-religiously incommensurable, dis-eased chronic trauma..

When universal trauma lurks
with upper hand,
To know paranoid loss
is to fear unjust death
of much-loved reputation
compassion's robust integrity
and pleasure's self-respect.

When unitarian therapy
lends Her feminist sway
to feel peace
and co-invest in life
is to predict pronoia
and cherish waxing love
and self-forgiveness.

For both these reasons,
we send a significantly wrong message
of blame the victim
when we post public health messages
like "Suicide is preventable"

Which is no more
or less true
than Systemic Trauma is 
and is not preventable
within one anthropocentric
LeftBrain verbally dominant
monotheistic ecocidal lifetime,
OR one mature and healthy democratic trust relationship,
one compassionate communication ReGenerative Story,
one encircling EnLightenMind/EmPowerBody 
resiliently brilliant
resonantly elegant 
polyamorous and possibly pantheistic
naked native Nature 
sacred/organic 
win/win narrative

Gaian Hypothesis prophesying,
When trauma lurks
with upper dissociative 
and irreligiously patriarchal 
right-hand victimizing vengeance fist,

To know mental depression
body-shaming repression
cognitive oppression
intuitive pleasure suppression
is to fear comprehensive 
fight or flight
and critically frenzied frozen events
of neurological,
and now also ecological, 
loss.

When therapy
lends EarthMother's feminist sway
to know resonant win/win integrity
reconnecting healthy life's
most resiliently wealthy impressions
is to predict patriotic trust 
and matriotic safety,
animus penetrating truth 
and anima receptive beauty,
expressive cognitive compassion 
and impressive intuitive pleasure

Win/win thriving respite 
from ego- and eco-distempered,
win/lose survivalist, 
dissociatively irreligious,
RightWing dominant trauma history

To fully rekindle compassion's
wealth embodied laughter
health mindful listening
Gaian Muse lustery

Organic passion's sacramental 
deep erotic governing
exotically orgasmic 
therapeutic pleasure mystery.
