Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Parallelismus Membrorum

Sacred Herstory

As ancient matriarchal polytheism
of local, domestic economic circles
gave way to patriarchal elite empire-builders,

Transcendent monotheism not only overwhelmed
immanent herstoric polytheism
but this had the further historical effect
of secularizing nature's evolving narrative
and desecrating anthro-exceptionalist verbal nature

LeftBrain Powers of persuasive speech
fallen from an original co-animated experience
of indigenously wise win/win resonant sounds
harmonic songs
spoken legends
inspired myths 
of polytheistic GoldenRule Paradise Lost
disharmonious evil
retold dissociations 
bedeviling competitions

Wealth Spirited Man v Health Natured MotherEarth
Natural Mono-Man v Spiritual PolyTheistic Earth,
AnthroHistory v Her Indigenous EarthStory
Transcendent White Patriarchy v Marginalized NonWhite EcoMatriarchs
History v Her Indigenous Body/Mind Experience

Lost in misty herstoric myths
of formerly sacred EarthMothers
with wiki-powers of healing,
nurturing multicultural humane 
RightListening empowerment

Through nutritional 
polyculturally divine 
LeftUnSpoken enlightenment

HerStoric feelings
needs survival
wants thrival
shared by strong-rooted plants
soulful spirited animals
including bicamerally balanced people
populating EarthMother's sacred
polytheistic-panentheistic
monotheistic-atheistic
political health-economic wealth
EarthTribal sentient planet.

I Am Anaya October 21, 2022 at 9:32 AM Parallelismus membrorum, a complex device of traditional Hebrew poetry belief in or worship of more than one god, your choice. I see you utilized the differentiating and complimentary augmentations, as the form wants. I am excited about this new voyage you’ve taken me on! Amazing work, and great title, Gerald D.! I Am Anaya Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck October 22, 2022 at 6:22 AM Thank you so much! Want to give seminal inspiration credit to Julian Jaynes, and, more recently, and more thoroughly rooted in neuro-systemic research, Iain McGilchrist's The Master and his Emissary. He got the Matriarch confused with his own personal straight white Master, but, other than that, a profound economic and political lens into positive psychology and health optimizing ecotherapeutic rebalancing between Left/Right co-passionate communication systems, connected by the "Parallelismus membrorum".
