This bicameral power analysis derives from Iain McGilchrist, Julian Jaynes, and Sarah Peyton, in which left brain dominance tends to see ourselves and our environment in terms of either cause or effect relationship where right brain emotional intelligence feels both/and dipolar co-arising relationships of growing solidarity/dissociation, regenerative/degenerative health trends seeking safety and, where safety feels assured, then significance, effectiveness, wealth of health resilient cooperative win/win development.

Our old nemesis,
capitalism,
is much older than democratic theory,
and even older than profoundly resilient democratic practice,
which is rather like Christianity--
often communion preached
and seldom democratically and multiculturally proficient,
fruitful,
viral,
contagious,
multiplying economic loaves
and politically empowering fish.

Capital-rooted values
derive from tribal chiefs,
elite healers and clergy,
and, more recently,
in the era of empires and nation-states,
royalty miraculously arriving by divine right
and sacramental head enlightenment
of Supreme EcoPolitical Persons,
recognized by exclusive rights of familial royal birth--
entirely dissociated from loyalty 
to restoring natural systemic rebirth.

When democratic political theory of inclusive,
non-elite,
full-bodied,
eventually ecofeminist empowerment 
developed into our straight white patriarchal U.S. Constitution,
we did not have enough multicultural experience,
and ecologically regenerative understanding,
to recognize that democracy is rooted in energy feelings 
of interdependent trust
and economic cooperative co-investment experience
with what Game Theorists define as

NonZeroSum Win/Win ecopolitical outcome resilience,
health-wealth emergent co-arising optimization 

Resonant experience of cooperative ownership,
stewardship of compassionate properties 
that can only be immorally misunderstood
as autonomously purchased with capital
and therefore ethically owned
controlled
exploited
deflowered,
disorganically unflowed
segregated.

Organic self/other
ego/eco
left/right bicameral management
remains conservatively rooted
in feelings of historic and cultural solidarity
on progressive journey toward resonant secular meaning
and resiliently sacred purpose.

Instead of noting that health
and well-being
and prosperity are endemic to cooperative win/win health systems
more than win/lose chronic stress 
typical of competitive capital-accumulation strategies,
U.S. democracy is conservatively defaulted to protect and defend capitalism,

Exclusive private wealth-acquisition,
patriarchal investment in nutritional extraction,
and incorporated anthropocentric self-investment
dissociated from OtherEarth Matriarchy,
we become anti-elitist
quasi-secularized autonomous ego-owners.

Divine powers
and personhood
become disassociated from royalty
elite by right of birth,
and democratically re-associated with everyday inheritance
of anthropocentric nationalism
accompanied by elitist meritocracy
of past familial,
and private corporate,
capital-wealth accumulation.

God the Father's blessing
is evinced by bounteous ownership of currency;
not to be confused with natural liquid-energy democracy,
powers of naturally recycling motion currents,
emotion climate currency,
immolation
demotion
re-motion
premonition

At this point,
democratic health
and ecological/theological resilience
have been dissociated from moral justice empowerment virtue,
divorced from cooperative win/win wealthy systems
and divested from multicultural womanist interdependent networks
of co-empathic domestic, interior enlightenment.

Our task,
rooted in this historic-cultural ecology of theological history,
Left/Right bicameral analysis,
may be seen as how to win more resources for and with non-elites,
left marginalized by win/lose rightwing capitalism,
no longer aligned with a green democratic trust
non-violent agenda for peace restoring EarthJustice;

As Jesus of Nazareth probably said,
we will always have the poor with us,
within us,
even  if only poor in anti-natural,
unlovely and felt unloved, spirit.

We might also see this Great Transition
as a multicultural challenge
to deeply conserve healthy democratic progress,

Great opportunity to Reweave capitalism 
into cooperatively-invested health care,
matriarchal giving while patriarchal receiving empowering 
win-Self/win-Other models
for non-violent relationships
within Earth's global economic-logical climate,
with InterPersonal EgoSystemic CoOperating CoInvestment climates,
and MultiCultural EcoSystemic meta-climates

Cooperatively polypathic/polyphonic,
left/right
universal/unitarian
yang/yintegrity
atomic/wave-linear co-relational 
envisioned/deeply sensed empowerment,
renewing enlightenment era democratic resilient health
as also resonant economic cooperative wealth,

Promising compassionate 
deeply polycultural-nutritional-prosperous
natural/spiritual 
left/right
yang/yin dipolar co-arising
ego/eco-systems 
resiliently green organic 
health-wealthy 
incoming outcomes.
