This piece re-ties together (re-ligions, as a verb of positive faith-fulfilling practice) Jungian "animus" masculine-dominant 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 orthodoxically/heterodoxically speaks and acts with religiously (integrally) authentic therapeutic win/win liberating orthopraxis and/or irreligiously dissociative win/lose trauma-perpetuating, indigenously 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, trauma.

When trauma lurks with upper hand, To know loss is to fear death of much-loved reputation and taxing self-respect. When therapy lends Her feminist sway to know and co-invest in life is to predict and cherish waxing love. 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 human lifetime, one relationship, one compassionate communication herstory, one encircling EnLightenMind/EmPowerBody resiliently brilliant resonantly elegant naked native narrative When trauma lurks with upper dissociative and irreligious hand, To know mental depression body-shaming repression cognitive oppression intuitive suppression is to fear comprehensive fight or flight and chronically frenzied neurosystemic loss. When therapy lends Her feminist sway to know resonant win/win integrity reconnecting healthy life's most resilient impressions is to predict trust and safety, truth and beauty, cognitive compassion and intuitive pleasure, thriving respite from eco-distempered, win/lose survivalist, dissociatively irreligious, RightWing trauma history To fully rekindle compassion's wealth embodied laughter health mindful listening EarthMother Muse lustery And passion's sacramental deep erotic governing exotic pleasure mystery.
