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.

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

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".
