Sacred Sciences

All sacred science is health science. All health care is wealthy spirited care. If there is such a thing as an entirely secular science, then it is probably an applied, or "practical" technological discipline like military science, how to kill while preaching a peace-loving society; extraction science, how to rape while selling convenient anthro-hubris comfort and pleasure; actuarial science, how to account for natural values by discounting healthy spiritual economies of power fueling cooperative empowerment; management science, how to kill compassion while fear-mongering anger management about white patriarchal history of win/lose colonization goes to the front of our favorite winner busyness class. What is the most useful and beautiful sacred health science? Most orthodox nature/spirits might support theological and historical/cultural scripture studies, systematically analyzing the co-passion out of everyday sacramental experience. I was about to nominate political empowerment science-- powers divine and profane, regenerative and devilishly degenerative articulating and re-articulating health v pathology messages. But, I wonder why not nature's choreography science of fractal-ecological relationships and the ethno-centric language science of musical theory, and agricultural permaculturing nutrition design sciences for polyculturing health cooperative outcomes, resilient wealth development through composition of interdependent enculturing elements, linguistic notation and pitched rhythmically patterned keys and fractal four-dimensioned spacetime frequencies, evangelical matriarchal marches behind revolving history, ego/ecofeminist communion communication? Changing spirited mythos folding and unfolding re-natured logos Which reminds me of right-hemispheric failure to grasp any fundamental literal originally intended great divide between scientific health and artistic wealth expressive experience, between integral truths and beauties, between empirical discovery of how empathic re-creation happens and artistic expression of why empirical curiosity co-passions pushing sometimes through vulnerable courage to be changed by receiving renewing invitations into sacred health arts and science co-passioning skills. Now, if I could just figure out a health science hypothesis about why, at least theoretically, I have so much trouble getting to sleep in a timely and right mindful and left peaceful way.
